Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

After William became an adult, his father, the Earl of Marne, had sent him into the army and became a junior officer.

Because he was the son of the earl, William didn't have to start as a small soldier after joining the army, but had the rank of a low-level officer from the beginning.This is also one of the very few pieces of help that the Earl of Marne is willing to provide to his youngest son.

This is Earl Marne's will, not his lack of ability.In fact, with the Earl of Marne's ability and power, if he is interested in cultivating William, the youngest son, even if he doesn't distribute the family property to him, he can support his development in the political field and plan for a post in the House of Commons in the future.In this way, William's future social status will not be low.

There will be no major wars in the empire in recent years. Instead, the policy tends to develop domestic industry and economy.In this social environment, how can going to the military camp as an officer who is difficult to be promoted have any future in the political world?

But the Earl of Marne did not have the will to support his youngest son.In his concept, all the strength must be put together in one place to exert the greatest strength.So he wants to use his power and influence on the more important and critical elder son.Because the eldest son is the heir of the family and the future of the Earl's Mansion.

The power and strength of the aristocratic family must be used on those more important clan members. As for other people, those who are willing will take care of them, and those who are not will let those family members fend for themselves and let them fight for their own future.

William's legion, because they haven't been on duty overseas yet, they have stayed in the imperial capital for training for nearly a year or two.Officers of the nobility like William naturally have some privileges. They don’t have to stay in the barracks all day without freedom. Instead, they can go home to rest or go out to socialize every night, as long as they go to the barracks to participate in training during the day.

So William got up very early in the morning, and after having breakfast in his room, he changed into his military uniform and left the castle to go to the barracks for training.

The training in the barracks is very simple, the main thing is to complete the shooting training, and the officer class also has command courses to learn.Because it is not wartime after all, even if they go to the colonies to perform rotating tasks, it basically serves as a deterrent, and conflicts and wars rarely break out.The battle that should be fought has basically been fought in the generation of the Earl of Marne. Before the fleet discovers the new continent, it is destined that there will be no large-scale war.Therefore, the second generation of nobles like William mixed in the military camp, don't expect to be rewarded for his meritorious service in the army, and to make a fortune.Basically a mix of qualifications.

Therefore, the training atmosphere in the barracks was not tense. Ordinary soldiers who could not leave the barracks gathered together to drink, play cards, smoke and gamble after training.

The second generation of aristocrats like William and the others play differently. Basically, they go to a high-end salon with a lot of social flowers, drink and chat, and maybe gamble.

The content of the game is no different from that of ordinary soldiers. The key point is to play in a better environment, with better food and wine, and beautiful courtesans to accompany you.

William was not in the mood for fun. After playing cards for an hour, he bid farewell to a few wine and meat friends and returned home.

The atmosphere at home has not changed much. It seems that the Earl of Marne has not found out about the family secret room.William, who was a little guilty, was relieved.

Back in the room, I took a shower under Niya's care, and then pulled Niya around for a while.

After Nia fell asleep, William put on his nightgown and got up because he was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy.He took out the old notebook that Nia had given him from the locked cabinet and began to study several other witchcraft.

"Ignition" is a very primitive spell. When matches have already been popularized, this witchcraft is not practical.

"Insulation technique", the weather in the imperial capital is not good, and it feels cold all year round, so this spell is quite useful for William.

"Trace", William used this spell to find the footprints of the Earl of Marne, and then traced to the family's secret room.

"Guide", has the same function as the compass.In an era when navigation technology was developed and compasses were widely used, this spell was obviously a "chicken rib".

"Poison Determination" is used to distinguish whether the food contains highly poisonous (this witchcraft only has the effect of distinguishing the highly poisonous poison that kills immediately, as for the poison that has a long-term effect, or food poisoning caused by improper food mix , it has no distinguishing effect).This witchcraft is still somewhat effective, at least if you learn it, you won't be poisoned to death immediately by the poison.As for diarrhoea, or food poisoning, you can only rely on yourself to be careful.

However, a noble son like William who has no money and no status will generally not be the target of the enemy's poisoning. It is impossible to achieve any purpose by poisoning him, not even deterring and threatening the Earl of Marne.

Because the Earl of Marne had already released information about his property arrangements, he would not give William any property.Everyone in the aristocratic class knew that William was the abandoned son of the Earl of Marne's family, and he was simply superfluous to the family.

Although the second son of a nobleman like William who did not get the family property had many younger sons, no one was as extreme as the Earl of Marne, and they really planned not to give William any property.Others can at least get a house, or a small manor, or the mother's entire dowry - so that the son will not be homeless even if he has no future.

Put it on William, perhaps because the eldest son of the Earl of Marne did not like his stepmother and younger brother. The Earl of Marne may be out of self-interest considerations, or he may be overly partial to the eldest son. Although he did not treat William's mother and son badly in material life, in fact An attitude of letting the eldest son suppress the stepmother and younger brother.

Under such circumstances, William's mother and son didn't have much affection for the Earl of Marne, and they just had to live with him.That's why when William's mother and son considered stealing the treasure, they didn't have any hesitation or guilt.

The Earl of Marne didn't take his second wife and youngest son seriously at all, nor did he think about how their mother and son would live after his death.So why should they consider the Earl of Marne?

It can be seen that William has always called his biological father "Earl of Marne" instead of "Father" in his heart, and it can be seen that he is alienated from his biological father.

After getting the treasure, William did not tell his mother.In fact, William's mother had given up on finding the secret room a long time ago, and she didn't know that her son hadn't given up and was always thinking of a way.

The main reason was that this matter was relatively big, and William was worried that she would be too happy and relaxed, and then reveal her secrets in front of the Earl of Marne, so he didn't tell her.When their mother and son are no longer under the control of the Earl of Marne, they will naturally have to tell their mother.

It takes a lot of money to maintain a decent life for a countess.With the Earl of Marne gone in the future, William certainly didn't want his mother's quality of life to decline, so he had to use the money.When the time comes, I will naturally tell my mother about it.

In the witchcraft notes, "poison defense" is followed by "extraction", which can extract nectar from flowers, sugar from sugary plants, coarse salt from sea water, and so on.

For those who survive in the wild, it is still a witchcraft with a wide range of uses.But for William, who lives a luxurious and exquisite life, nectar, salt and sugar are extremely easy to get.This sorcery is actually still useless.

That was all the witchcraft recorded in Nia's notes.

At present, William has only learned the tracking technique, and other witchcrafts have yet to be learned slowly.

Except for "poison defense", other witchcrafts in this era have simpler and more convenient substitutes that ordinary people can use.It is no wonder that wizards are marginalized, because there is no need for these witchcraft to exist.

In this kind of low-magic technology world, with the development of technology, magic will gradually disappear.When magic is strong, technology cannot develop.The world is small in size and can only choose one direction to develop.This world has obviously chosen technology as its development direction, so the content of demons in the world will become less and less, and eventually those monsters, wizards, and demon hunters will disappear from this world.At that time, such witchcraft notes were purely superstitious activities for the future people of this world.

Even if it is not very useful, even if witchcraft is about to fade away, William has no room for criticism, because he really finds all kinds of entertainment and social activities boring.Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, so it is better to learn these few tasteless witchcraft, just to pass the leisure time.

In case of living on a deserted island in the future, maybe he can survive by relying on these witchcraft.

William patted his forehead and smiled, he was confused.With the existence of artifacts, even if those high-tech things cannot be used, food, water, and basic living materials can all be taken out of artifacts.This world doesn't need goldfingers, but those puppets with only strength at the bottom of the puppet castle can come out to help him work, and shelter from the wind and rain by the way.Even if he lives on a deserted island, William feels that he will not have a miserable life.

Nia was sleeping soundly on the big soft bed, while William was reading witchcraft notes in front of the warm fireplace.

In fact, according to William's original playboy nature, he basically achieved his goal after getting the witchcraft notebook, and since then, he has no longer been interested in Nia.

However, because the whole family of the Earl's Mansion lived in the castle, William didn't want Nia to yell about him taking her witchcraft notebook, which made the Earl of Marne and his son discover something, so they didn't immediately get rid of this that made him tired. lover.

But with William, who has awakened a long memory, everything is different.

On the one hand, the current William is very grateful to Nia for giving him this wizard notebook.Not only did he get the treasure of the Earl of Marne, but it also made his daily life less boring.We must know that in this era, there are no TVs, computers, and mobile phones, and the only entertainment activities are dancing, watching dramas, playing cards, and drinking, which is really meaningless.Might as well learn some witchcraft.

On the other hand, Nia does not fit the aesthetics of William, the original playboy. William prefers mature women with heavy makeup and style.And Nia is too rough and simple, not his favorite type.But now William likes Nia's natural beauty, and now he also likes to get along with simple-minded people.

So now William thinks that Nia is a good lover, so he has no intention of getting rid of her.

It is very common for nobles to have lovers, even nobles generally have many lovers, as long as they can afford it financially, everything is fine.

Like Earl Marne, who also had several lovers outside, the Countess didn't take it seriously at all.But on the other hand, because her natal family has no power, the countess is completely dependent on the Earl of Marne for survival. In this case, she dare not find a lover behind her husband's back.

In the aristocratic circle, there are many cases where husband and wife both have lovers, but that is only when the status of the husband and wife is not much different.In the case of William's mother, she dared not offend her husband.

The reason why William's mother agreed to get Nia to be with her son and become his son's lover was because of William's reality that it was very difficult to marry a wife.So having a lover by your side is also the right thing to do.

For example, those girls of the same class, their marriage goals are those heirs to the title, so that they can still stay in this upper-class circle after marriage.

And those girls from run-down aristocratic families are smart and outstanding, just like William's mother. Only when they climb up to the older, second-married and third-married nobles can they become noble and pampered noble wives.

The next class is the daughters of rich merchants, all of whom have large dowries.With this capital, their marriage partners are usually poor nobles who are short of money.One partner in the marriage wants title and social status, and the other wants money.

And in every class, there are some girls who are not outstanding, not outstanding, and not easy to marry.

Such a wife William could probably marry.But he didn't need to get married for the sake of getting married, to have a marriage that would make him uncomfortable.

Although the countess wanted to find a wife with a generous dowry for her son, she didn't want to be wronged and force him to marry a wife who was not outstanding except for the dowry.

In fact, with William's looks and his ability to seduce little girls, it's not impossible to find a wife who is innocent and easy to deceive with a high dowry.

But although William is a playboy, what he really likes are courtesans with flair, and he has no interest in innocent little girls.

And when he was concentrating on obtaining the property in the family secret room, he was not interested in defrauding the little girl of her dowry money.

Now that it is William who has the memory of the past, he will not wrong himself for money.What's more, he has already obtained the treasure in the family secret room.

Therefore, unless he meets a particularly suitable wife candidate, William will marry and have children later, and may even never marry for the rest of his life.So it is only natural for him to have a lover.

One advantage of this era is that men and women in this era can be generous and not get married for the rest of their lives.If you don't meet a suitable marriage partner, you can stay single for the rest of your life.In the eyes of the public, this kind of decent singleness is better than an unsuitable marriage.

So in this era, there are many old ladies and gentlemen who are not married.

This made William very relaxed. He didn't have any pressure to get married, and he could do whatever he wanted.
