Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

It was cold and windy outside, just listening to the whistling wind, one could imagine how cold it was outside.With the comparison of the outside, it is even more warm and comfortable inside the house.

Because the magic books left by Kevin are more precious than gold, Klein and Barton built a secret room of the study with their own hands without telling the servants, and put these magic books in it.Klein also spent some time inputting these newly obtained books into the "Knowledge Tree".Although he is destined to be a necromancer in this life and will no longer need these natural magic books, who knows in which life he will be able to use them in the future?

After finishing these tasks, Klein sat on the sofa by the shining fire to rest, drinking a cup of warm tea while thinking about the information about Duke Elton's house.

Duke Elton himself is a powerful high-ranking warrior, advocating force and bold personality.He has a son and two daughters, a total of three children, the eldest son Charlie and the eldest daughter Anne are not fond of martial arts, only the second daughter Anna is a qualified fighter, and she went to war with her father, Duke Elton.Therefore, even though Anna was young and a girl, she was basically determined to be the heir of Duke Elton.

That's all for Anne, even in the Northland where force is advocated, nobles don't have force requirements for girls, and noble women who choose to be good wives and mothers are still mainstream.

Charles, the only son of the duke, seemed a little out of place in the Duchy of Noel, especially since he was a male and should have been the heir of the dukedom.However, nobles who have no power to restrain chickens may be able to be heirs to kingdoms or duchies that have no foreign enemies in the center of the mainland. For the northern nobles who often have to fight foreign enemies and guard the border, they are completely unqualified. .

In this world, in order to become a high-level fighter, aptitude is not that important, but whether one can endure hardship is the key.Only fighters who can train hard, constantly challenge their limits, and face the crisis of life and death can become stronger and stronger.

Without such a tenacious character, no matter how good the qualifications, no matter how high the family background is, and no matter how senior the resource teacher is, it is of no use.

Therefore, Charlie basically lost his status as an heir. It can only be due to his own personality and his own life choice.

Of course, the military knight class of the Duchy of Knoll followed Duke Elton unconditionally, but of course they also tended to hope that Duke Elton's next heir would also be a powerful warrior.In a place like the Principality of Nuoer, where wars are fought every year, a strong leader is indeed needed to calm the hearts of the people.

But none of this has much to do with Klein, it's just some information he needs to know.

After the arrival of spring, the roads between the cities are finally open.

Klein took Barton to Duke Elton's mansion. Duke Elton himself was cold and reticent. After confirming Klein's identity, there was no nonsense. He was canonized as a baron on the same day. A banquet was held to introduce Klein, the newly promoted baron, to other people in the Duchy of Noel.

The banquet was very lively. Unlike the more elegant dances and banquets held by the nobles in other places, the mainstream of the noble class in the Principality of Noel is military knights. They love spirits and barbecue, so the atmosphere of the banquet is to chew and drink. Yelling and laughing loudly.

Most people don't pay attention to Klein, the newly promoted baron who looks like a little boy, but with Duke Elton's face, no one will deliberately disrespect him and make trouble for him.

Klein did not expect that the person who was most enthusiastic about him would be Duke Elton's eldest son Charlie.Probably also Charlie, who is like a little boy, thinks he is a kind.

All night, Charlie pulled Klein to talk.What did they say?It's all about literature, music, painting, gardening, theatre, art, things like that.

They were all topics brought up by Charlie. Fortunately, Klein covered a wide range of topics, so he was able to pick up what he had to say, so that the conversation would not be cold and could continue.

Perhaps it was because Klein was able to pick up the conversation no matter what topic Charlie brought up, and the conversation was very pleasant, which made Charlie even more convinced that Klein was of the same kind as him, and invited Klein to a small banquet he held the next day on the spot.Of course, Klein happily agreed immediately.

Klein had thought about it before. On the premise that his identity as a necromancer cannot be revealed, he is destined to be different from those nobles who are rough and advocating force.If he wanted to truly integrate into the Principality of Noel and make a few wine and meat friends, then Charlie was his best choice.

The two daughters of the Duke of Elton, Anne and Anna, first met, Anne was gorgeously dressed, wearing precious jewelry, very beautiful and moving.But she had a feeling that she was out of place with everyone at the banquet. It was different from Charlie's slightly weak incompatibility. Anne had a kind of aloof and arrogant incompatibility, as if she looked down on most people in the party.

And Anna was dressed simply, with metal wrist guards on her wrists, weapons such as waist knives and long swords hanging on her waist, and her hair was thickly tied into a braid. Although she was a beauty just by looking at her face, the look in her eyes Perseverance can easily make people ignore the fact that she is a woman.She is very popular, like another protagonist in the banquet besides Duke Elton, and Duke Elton also values ​​her very much, always takes her by his side, chatting and drinking with the officers .

Taking all factors into consideration, the most suitable friend for Klein is Duke Elton's only son Charlie.

Therefore, when Charlie came to chat with him, Klein would also create new topics, which made the atmosphere of the conversation very pleasant, and Klein immediately received Charlie's invitation to the banquet the next day.

The next day, Charlie's banquet was not held in the castle, but in a private house of Charlie outside the castle.The atmosphere of this banquet is completely different from yesterday's banquet. It is not so much a banquet as it is an art salon, with soft music and elegant decoration. Spirits, people are talking in twos and threes in low voices instead of high-pitched ones.

Klein turned out to be the highest-ranked guest among Charlie's guests. He was the only one with aristocratic status. The others were from the bourgeoisie, of course the richer ones, such as businessmen, scholars, and officials.

Charlie's expression today is very different from yesterday's, today's expression is genuinely relaxed and happy.He was surrounded by flattery and flattery from people of a lower class, and they were all talking about topics that he was really interested in, so how could it be unpleasant?

Seeing Klein's arrival, Charlie stood up to greet him, and introduced him to the guests at the banquet, especially his mistress, a middle-class widow as beautiful as a stunner, with moving words and extraordinary charm.Charlie is not married yet, but according to the unspoken rules of the aristocratic class, he can only choose a wife from the same class, and non-noble class women can only be mistresses.

The atmosphere of the banquet was not extravagant, but the words were lovely and the atmosphere was elegant, which made Klein feel relaxed and happy.Even if Klein is a powerful necromancer, he is not the same as a resolute and hard-working warrior. He is indeed not the same type of warrior as a soldier who drinks and eats meat. On the contrary, he gets along happily with Charlie, who is quite fun.

Charlie is an ordinary person who resists roughness and fighting, has a slightly weak personality, but also likes to enjoy life and has quite advanced tastes.In a peaceful and stable place, he is a very suitable nobleman, but in the Duchy of Noel, where wars occur every year, he seems out of date. There is no nobleman of the same class who can play with him, so he can only find The next class of the educated middle class played along.

Now Klein has come to the Principality of Noel, and they quickly became friends and often have fun together.Klein also bought a manor near the Duke's castle as a residence, and held similar small banquets to invite Charlie to play.

Charlie is proficient in architecture and gardening. He also proposed many reconstruction suggestions for Klein's new manor, and also presented many precious plants and flowers to Klein's garden.

Because Klein got along happily with Charlie, he also truly integrated into the Principality of Noel.In the eyes of the upper class in the Duchy of Noel, they treat Klein like another Charlie, a slightly weak little white-faced aristocrat, not that popular, but they do regard him as one of them, not as being rejected heterogeneous.

Klein can be considered to have achieved his purpose of coming to the Principality of Noel.

After Charlie and Klein became friends, he often complained about his two sisters. He didn't have much dissatisfaction with the brave Anna, that is to say, she was rude and boring.He probably knew that it was Anna who assumed the heir's responsibility for him. Without Anna, even if he didn't like it, he would be forced by Duke Elton to become a qualified heir to the duchy.Charlie feels a little guilty about Anna, his sister, because Anna has taken on a lot of burdens and responsibilities for him, and he can't get used to it, because he admires those elegant and interesting ladies, and Anna is really rude in his eyes.

As for the other sister, Annie, Charlie's complaints were not so polite. Charlie bluntly said that Annie was "vain", "brainless", "has no artistic accomplishment, only likes shiny jewelry", and "wants to be the queen of other kingdoms". Or the Queen and Duchess of the Principality", "waiting for her Prince Charming to come to the Principality of Knoll to propose marriage" and so on.

Originally, Klein thought that among Duke Elton's three children, the eldest son and eldest daughter were not fighters, so they should be relatively close.The actual situation is not the case. In fact, the relationship between the youngest Anna and her brother and sister is not bad, at least there is no conflict.On the contrary, Charlie and Anne dislike each other, and the relationship is not very good.

Charlie felt that Anne was vain and stupid, and she was not as good as Anna, a little sister with real skills.And Annie felt that Charlie's hobbies were moaning for nothing, and that Charlie's friends were all middle-class, which made him degenerate.What Annie valued most was status and money. She had no interest in literature and art at all, and she was simply out of tune with Charlie in every way.

However, Charlie is surrounded by a group of middle-class people in the Principality of Knoll, while Anne's popularity in the Principality of Knoll is much worse, because her eyes are fixed on the top, and she completely looks down on people below her class, and she can't understand those military achievements. In the Duchy of Knoll, the only nobler than her is the Duke of Elton himself, and there is no one she can see in her eyes. Therefore, she desperately hopes that princes or nobles from other kingdoms or duchies will come to propose marriage, so that she Can marry off and become queen or duchess of another kingdom or duchy.

The three sons and daughters of Duke Elton have three completely different temperaments.
