Panlong: Bind top talents at the beginning

Noah's continent has a radius of more than ten thousand miles, and humans and orcs divide it from east to west.

On the west side of the continent, from north to south, there are three human kingdoms, namely the Kingdom of Glow, the Kingdom of Misoko, and the Kingdom of Oga. To the east of the three kingdoms is the territory of the orcs.

Although there are occasional disputes between the three kingdoms, generally speaking, they still rely on peaceful cooperation because they have to face the threat of orcs together.

To the west of Noah's Continent, there is another continent, the "Holy Tree" continent, which is dozens of times larger than Noah's Continent.

According to the memory of the predecessor, the Holy Tree Continent is where the strong gather.

Andres is still not sure whether the place where he is now is the material plane of Magnolia Continent in Panlong's original novel.

The world of Panlong is composed of four supreme planes and countless material planes. After the birth of the main gods of each system, seven god planes will appear.

The starting point of the original story is the Magnolia Continent, which takes place among countless material planes.

However, the timeline of the original work is more than a thousand epochs after the birth of heaven and earth, and the time node Andres is currently in is only the early stage of the first epoch.

The original work did not elaborate on what the Magnolia Continent was like during the first Era.

The predecessor was only a seventh-level warrior and didn't know much about this plane.

Now Andres can only wait until his strength improves before exploring this plane.

More than half a month later, Andres and others finally returned to the royal capital "Oga City".

The army returned victoriously, and King Bonus of the Oga Kingdom led many nobles to greet him outside the city gate.

As the head coach of this army, Inoli received the most praise and was the focus of all eyes.

Andres stood silently behind.

After the welcome ceremony, Andres and others entered Oga City.

King Bonus arranged a celebration banquet at the palace. Because there were too many troops, only Enoli and many noble ministers went to the palace to attend, while Andres and other soldiers were arranged to eat elsewhere.

Andres did not eat with the other soldiers, but returned to his home in Oga City.

Andres's home is in the East City District of Oga City. Most of the people living here are from relatively well-off families in Oga City. Although they are not as good as those nobles, they are much better than ordinary civilians.

Andres walked up to a two-story, free-standing building.

The building occupies a large area and is reddish-brown in color. There is a hammer carved on the door with the words "Raul Mitchell Blacksmith Shop" written on it.

Raul Mitchell is Andres' father, a blacksmith.

Andres' parents ran a blacksmith shop and raised their two sons.

Andres also has a younger brother named Alex Mitchell, who is 19 years old and is a fifth-year student at the Oga Kingdom Warrior Academy. He is a fifth-level fighter.

A few years ago, the Mitchell family did not live in Dongcheng District, but in a civilian area.

After Andres became a seventh-level fighter, his economic situation improved greatly, and he moved his family from the civilian area to where he is now.

"I am back."

Andres opened the door, and Raul and others were already waiting in the house.

They had all received the news in advance that Andres would be back today.

"Andres!"

Mother Helen came up and gave Andres a hug. She looked up and down nervously. When she saw the gap in the armor on Andres' chest, her eyes instantly turned red.

They had long received news that Andres almost died during the battle in Montenegro City.

"Mom, I'm fine." Andres saw Helen's concern and comforted her with a smile.

Helen was an ordinary-looking woman with a somewhat obese figure. Years of hard work made her look slightly older than her peers.

"Okay, it's a good thing that my son is back. Why are you still crying?" Raul said calmly, standing behind Helen.

Raul is about 1.8 meters tall, with a rugged face and a strong build. He wears a simple vest, revealing strong arm muscles.

Although he is not a strong warrior, his many years as a blacksmith have given him good physical fitness.

"Are you still talking about me? When you first heard the news, you were more anxious than me!" Helen turned back and said to her husband angrily.

The calm expression on Raoul's face froze, and his mouth became stiff: "Nonsense, when did I become anxious?"

When the couple was bickering, Alex stepped in to greet them.

"elder brother!"

The two brothers look very similar. They both have ordinary but resolute looks. They are both over 1.9 meters tall. Their muscles are strong and well-proportioned due to their years of training as warriors.

"Brother, did you train hard while I was away? Don't be lazy and graduate from the Warrior Academy as soon as possible." Andres said.

According to the regulations of the Oga Kingdom Warrior Academy, only a sixth-level warrior can graduate.

Alex is 19 years old this year and is only a fifth-level fighter. He is not a genius, but if he works hard and takes a few years to reach a sixth-level fighter, there is no problem.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't be lazy." Alex hammered Andres on the chest hard and said with a smile.

"Okay, the meal is ready, let's eat first." Helen said.

The first floor of this house is a shop, with many weapons and iron tools for sale, and the second floor is where the family lives.

There is also a yard and forge behind the house, where Raul works.

Andres locked the door, and the family went up to the second floor and gathered around the dining table to eat happily.

"Andres, you are not young anymore. It's time to consider getting married."

At the dining table, Helen cut off a piece of freshly baked white bread, put it on Andres's plate, and said with a serious face.

"Uh..." Andres didn't know how to answer for a moment. According to his own thoughts, he had no plans to get married yet. Now he just wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible.

29 years old is considered an older age to be unmarried in the world of Panlong. Many people at this age may have more than one child.

When my predecessor became a seventh-level warrior, many people came to introduce girls, mostly the daughters of small businessmen from well-off families.

A seventh-level warrior can be regarded as barely entering the ranks of the strong, and he also has a certain status in the Oga Kingdom.

But at that time, my predecessor fell in love with Enoli and rejected her.

"Andres, your mother is right." Raul also agreed, "Shortly after the battle report from Montenegro City came back, several big shots came to our house to discuss marriage."

"Among them are big businessmen from the royal capital, as well as some viscounts and earls. This opportunity is rare. You must seize it this time." Raul said.

"Why do so many people come to the door?" Andres was puzzled.

Raul said: "I heard from those big shots that because of your great achievements on the front line this time, His Majesty the King plans to upgrade your title from 'Knight of the Kingdom' to 'Baron'. Although it is not hereditary and there is no fiefdom, But I will give you an important position in the army, and you will have great potential in the future."

Hearing this, Andres understood.

The battle report from Montenegro City has long been sent back to Oga City. After winning the battle, the king naturally wanted to reward him based on his merits.

The order to award the reward should be issued in the next few days.

As for the content of the reward, the king should have already decided, and the nobles may have heard the news.

Title promotion represents an improvement in status. Entering the military service means more opportunities to accumulate merit. In the future, it may be possible to go a step further and make the title hereditary or even have a fiefdom.

By then, you will be a true noble.

The big businessmen and nobles who came to discuss marriage obviously took a fancy to Andres' potential.
