Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster
Chapter 1: Self-reliance
White Horse City is a beautiful place. The small city with white walls and red tiles slowly spreads along the gentle slopes of the hills. 9 windmills are scattered on the undulating hills. The breeze of early autumn brings a hint of coolness, and the morning sun penetrates the low clouds. To the roof and pavement. Hill walked towards the castle slowly, and it seemed that he could only hear his own footsteps on the quiet stone road. He was going to be an adult today.
Hill’s identity is actually very embarrassing. Count Perast has married three wives and gave birth to three sons. He is the middle one. According to the rules of the Salar Kingdom, when the non-eldest son reaches 16 years of age, he must separate his family and leave.
The mother of Earl Manton, the eldest son of the Earl, is of noble origin. As the daughter of the Duke of Claire, she has a rich dowry. It is a pity that he is weak, otherwise he would not marry the earl, and Manton died shortly after he was born.
The eldest son has a powerful foreign family. When the earl marries his second wife, he only needs to consider his appearance, so he takes a fancy to Melanie, the daughter of the palace archmage Oberstein Fran.
Melanie is a big beauty, fair skin, big eyes, pretty nose, full mouth, plus long hair like a golden waterfall, which deeply attracted the earl. And Earl Perast was handsome, rich, romantic, passionate, and beautiful and innocent, and soon became tempted by the court women's help. She married him, but it was a pity that she regretted it within two years. The entire Earl's Castle was rejecting this female mage, and everyone felt that she would definitely attack the eldest son Manton, including the husband who claimed to love her the most. After Hill was born, she was even more defensive against her. However, no one thought that there was no woman's war in the wizard's world. Melanie plunged into alchemy, bought a mansion outside the town with her son and lived in it, never seeing her husband again.
Hill would only see his father at the annual New Year banquet until he was 12 years old. It's a pity that Melanie's alchemy experiment failed when Hill was 12 years old, and the spells bounced back. He died a few months later, and Hill had to return to the Earl's Castle.
Earl Perast was indifferent to this son and immediately went to the selection of his third wife. He never dared to marry a noble female mage anymore, he had enough of 12 years without a hostess to laugh at. In the end, Earl Perast chose a daughter of the baron who was famous for her outstanding brains, beauty and generosity, and gave birth to her third son Edgar two years ago. This time, the people of the castle finally returned to a familiar pace. The young and beautiful wife put off Manton's 16-year-old marrying time until after 20. Who made Manton unbelievable, he was far from being a formal knight.
The vast majority of people pursue comfort and enjoyment when there is no pressure; only when a certain amount of pressure is exerted, will they strive to become strong, and that there is pressure to be motivated, so Manton is still too late to work hard. Hill is going to leave anyway, but if Manton, who is in his 30s, has not become a knight after 14 years, his inheritance will depend on whether Edgar can become a knight. Of course, if the earl is unlucky before that, Hill can also come back to grab the title. After all, among the next generation, Hill is the only one above the knight level. So in order to reduce the trouble, the ears can also be quieter, Hill rarely uses spells in the castle, so these people think he is still an apprentice.
Manton also tried to win over Hill. Unfortunately, the methods were awkward. Hill showed an indifferent appearance and got rid of him only waiting for the adult to separate. The stepmother observed that he just wanted to leave and quietly disappeared.
Hill spent time in the castle study every day, until last night he received a message from his grandfather who he had never contacted. He rushed to the manor overnight. After the indifferent mage sensed his mage-level spiritual power, he satisfactorily gave him a storage ring and left. There was no room for Hill to speak.
Hill didn't even respond to his grandfather who had called for a long time. He packed up the manor in a dull manner, and put away all his mother's things. The storage ring is large, and there are many spell books inside. He understood that Master was a self-study profession, and after his mother led him through the door, he should read more and learn more. There is nothing wrong with Flange's indifference. As a grandfather, Fran’s love for him is in the ring. There are a lot of precious materials inside, a large amount of gold coins, enough to hold a library of books, and the most important building materials for the magic tower. A high-level magic tower core that Hill couldn't buy even if he had money. but! Hill wailed in his heart: "Dear grandfather! I am a warlock! I don't know what bloodline!"
Yes, Hill's years of meditation turned a corner when he was about to step onto the mage's avenue, and he awakened to be a glorious civil warlock. He didn't know if traveling through time and space caused trouble. In his previous life, he was a civil engineer. After awakening in this life, he added water. In Hill's spell list, the fossil is mud, and the mud is turned into stone are in the front, summoning the earth element, the wood element, and the water element in the back. There is an earth shield in the middle, ground movement, slowness, natural growth, summoning natural companions and purification.
Hill knew that his bloodline was absolutely not bad, and not everyone in the Warlock Awakening could have so many spells in the first place. And since awakening, his body began to grow stronger day by day, and the seemingly thin body contained powerful strength. As a warlock, Hill's power is almost comparable to that of a formal knight.
When Hill awakened, he vaguely saw a giant bear roaring towards the sky. He knew that his main bloodline must be a bear. The bear clan is basically the earth system, and it must be of equal bloodlines to coexist, so Hill has been thinking about what earth bears can interfere with the descendants of the unearthed wood water system. He was very curious about his blood, but he read all the books on the castle and manor and found no clue. Finally came an archmage who might know, but he still got nothing.
confessed that Lina, the housekeeper of the manor, was waiting for him at the entrance of the manor after packing up her luggage. The tight-chested Hill could only walk back to the castle in the light of the morning.
Earl Perast hadn't gotten up yet, only Manton who had awakened in the castle was struggling to practice with a few illegitimate children. Hill ignored them and went straight to the room to tidy up. The butler had already revealed to him the meaning of the earl a few days ago. He could choose between a lord with a small fief in the earl and a baron with no fief but holding a development order. He did not hesitate to pick the baron. What a joke! Staying in the earl, there will be trouble waiting for him in the future, whether magic is not fragrant or alchemy is not fun, Hill is not in the mood to find this sin.
No one in the earl’s castle knew that Hill was a warlock. Low-level mages were not uncommon among the nobles. It took a lot of time for mages to grow up. Hill, who was indifferent and could not get much property, was not taken seriously. But if he is a warlock of blood inheritance, he will definitely be given to the great nobles in the name of marriage as a stallion. Hill just wanted to run as far as possible, find a place to go to the archmage and talk about it.
After tidying up the room, Hill did not wait long before he received the butler's call. The count and lady and family members were all waiting for him to dine with him. Hill slowly walked down the stairs, and the large dining room was full of people watching the excitement. After eating the stomach-paining breakfast in whispers, he followed the group to the conference hall again.
The earl stood in the front of the hall, facing Hill in the crowd, and said with a smile: "Dear Hill, my cherished second son, at the important moment of your adulthood, I will canonize you as a wave in the name of Earl Perast. Baron Lanio! I give you 20,000 gold coins as a father and allow you to take away all your mother’s property. I hope you will be Peras as Baron Hill Perast Polano. The special family adds more glory!"
As soon as the voice fell, Hill heard the abruptly amplified whispers, and the people watching the excitement could not conceal their surprise at all.
Earl Perast earns about 50,000 or 60,000 gold coins a year. The status of a baron without a fief is very high in the eyes of common people, but an earl with real power can canonize one every year, and it is generally used to win over great knights or nobles. We buy with money. No great knight appeared this year, and it was normal for Hill to be a baron. But the earl didn't even give his son a fief! The total amount Hill got was not as much as the Earl's two-year annuity.
Hill knew that the earl felt that Melanie’s fortune was sufficient to compensate him. Although the earl was not afraid of the palace mages, UU reading www. uukanshu.com but also don't want to cause trouble. But he didn't like this son very much, which was a testament to his inability to control his own woman. As long as Hill is here, no one will forget Melanie's story. He would never leave this son in his fief. Hill is a mage again, and he would definitely not choose to be a little lord.
The earl always thought that Melanie was just a little mage who knew how to do alchemy, and she died. Even if she left her property to Hill, it was worth at most 100,000 gold coins. So after Melanie died, he was very generous and called Xi You keep it by yourself. But the woman's property belongs to the man. Before he became an adult, Hill could only get the gifts Melanie had before her death. The things written on Melanie's dowry list belonged to the earl. The earl didn't care what Melanie brought, and the family had always been a knight, so he didn't even look at it. But if he didn't make it clear in today's statement, the countess could stop Hillcha from taking something with him. This was the only kindness he gave Hill as a father.
With Manton, the eldest son with a powerful mother family, if the earl wants to distribute money to other children, he can only divide it in his own annuity. So he didn't want to give Hill too much to the son he didn't like.
Hill only took away 20,000 gold coins, Edgar and his possibly born younger brother will be able to divide up to hundreds of thousands. Hill saw Manton's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his little brother Edgar had truly become his enemy from this moment on. And the beautiful young stepmother's eyes flickered, everyone knew that Edgar would get a lot, but she wanted more. The castle of the Earl of Perast will be very lively in the future, leaving plenty of room for discussion for contented people.
Hill didn't want to pay attention to these people and things, took the baron's paper from the steward, solemnly thanked the earl for his canonization, and turned around and left the castle under everyone's eyes.
