Chapter 166

Location: Main Plane, southwest of the continent of Geos, Duchy of Carmelot

Time: Summer of 579 in the Byrd calendar

To the south of the Principality of Carmellot is the famous Wheat Plain, which is also the famous granary of the entire human territory. Legend has it that the first humans who settled here were originally deserters, and most of them were old farmers. It is only because of the severe drought in the west for several years that the rice harvest there has been lost for several years, and the whole country has reached the point of exhaustion.

In order to survive, the young earl and king of Carmelo, Nit Pendragon, had to lead the entire people of Carmelo to the east, and after several treks, they came to this still barren wheat plain.

At that time, it was still barren and had no common name.

At that time, when Nit was leading his people to open up the land, he found a plant similar to rice, except that it was more drought-tolerant, and the ears were straight and smooth, not as rough as rice, and its leaves were different from rice long and wide, but in a wide strip. The hungry people of Carmelo soon discovered its greatest function – eating, especially the food made by grinding it tasted better.

Nit mobilized his people to grow this food, so that it spread throughout his territory. For this plant, Nit later learned of its name "wheat" in the course of his later struggle with the local foreign natives. Although the foreign aborigines were later expelled, the name of wheat has survived. In gratitude for the rescue of his country and his people, the wheat plain was named "Wheat Plains", and this title has been passed down through the generations of Carmelo to this day!

According to Camelo's official statistics, the amount of flour exported from Carmelo to other countries every year is enough to feed more than 40 percent of the population of those countries, including the Carolingian Empire, which is the only two large empires in the entire human territory. Therefore, the current Duchy of Carmelo, except for the sword in the stone that no one can pull out, can almost completely be called by wheat.

Despite the low unit value of wheat, as a necessity, in the case of large exports, it brought Carmelo a great deal of wealth and a scorching reputation.

Fortunately, Carmelo's successive monarchs were still qualified, and they did not accumulate huge wealth and bury them in the underground palace, and had those drunken dreams of luxury even after death. Instead, he used this wealth to build military fortresses, train soldiers, and equip the army, so that Carmelo was spared from war several times, and at the same time, after seeing the great deterrence of magicians, Carmelo began to devote himself to education, building hundreds of primary schools and the famous Carmelo Wizard Academy, and sparing a lot of money to hire many freelance magicians to train the country's magical powers.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Carmelo Wizard Academy, with the support of the country's strong strength, came from behind and became one of the top ten wizard academies in the main plane. As a result, the Duchy of Carmello, ruled by the Pendragon family, began to shine brightly across the entire human territory.

Every summer is painful and blissful for Camelo's many farmers. Because in early summer, they are not only busy harvesting ripe wheat, but also quickly sowing the seeds of the next season after the quick harvest. It has to be said that for ordinary humans without supernatural powers, such a large workload is an extreme test of human willpower. Especially under the ancestral training of Carmelo, the wheat fields of the wheat plain expanded again and again.

However, the only consolation for the peasants was that the purchase prices of the state were satisfactory and the taxes were not high, so the people's living standards gradually improved and their enthusiasm for work grew.

Viscount Bar was one of many viscounts divided by the Pendragon family, so his territory was not large, only 600 miles long, and there were 3,000 peasant families living in the territory. Every year he was responsible for the wheat and taxes, and he had to pay 90 percent of the rest, but that 10 percent alone made him very wealthy.

And what he needs to do is only to supervise the growth of wheat in the territory and some important matters. As for government affairs, there were naturally magistrates sent by the king to take care of them.

Viscount Barr, who was over half a hundred years old, was not a tyrannical man, so his people were doing well, and his reputation was well-known.

However, the people in the territory know that their own viscount has always had a hidden worry, that is, the problem of no successor. Originally, Barr was awarded the title of Viscount by virtue of the title of the junior magician of the Carmelo Academy, although generally speaking, the junior magician is far from enough to obtain this title, but who called Barr from the Carmelo Academy! In fact, Baal himself is indeed very powerful, otherwise how could he gain a foothold in the rich wheat plains, this is a real practical staff.

Therefore, it has to be said that Viscount Barr's life is quite happy, with a rich territory, a beautiful wife, and an envious family property.

However, such a perfect life of Lord Barr only gave birth to a son, yes, in a world where the lord's wives and concubines are in groups, and children are also in groups, how miserable Lord Baal is.

In fact, it is not bad to have a son, after all, the bloodline has continued, and there are no scandals caused by the struggle for family inheritance.

When the time is right, let your son go to a good magic academy, and it would be best if he could go to Carmelo. When he comes back from his studies, the son will inherit his father's duties according to the custom, and it will be perfect.

Therefore, Lord Barr is very fond of this lone seedling baby, it is almost to the point of spoiling, as little Barr grows up, something happens that makes Lord Barr angry.

Of course, it is not the bloody scene of the nobles playing with the girl of a good family, nor is it the fragrant deeds of the handsome and golden boy who lingers in the incense cave and is reluctant to give up. It's good to think about these things in your head, and you don't have to take them out and enjoy them together. To the anger of our Lord Bal, his son disdains magic and pursues it fanatically

Vindictive things.

This matter has to start when little Barr was seven years old, because the viscount is more close to the people, and more because of the relationship between the only child. Therefore, little Barr has been playing crazy in the territory since he was a child, because the lords did not show fear or resistance, but let their children play with the lord's son, so little Barr also met many friends of the same age.

Once little Barr was playing hide and seek with his friends, he and little Ike of the Divas family ran to a mill haystack and hid them, waiting for their friends to find them.

It was at that time that the two children met something that changed their ambitions in life. They hid in a haystack and saw a duel, a duel between two legendary knights. The two powerful knights dismounted and fought, the dark and incomprehensible fighting spirit, the dull sound of strong muscles swinging their swords against each other, the sweat and blood spilled, and the knights who refused to fall after the defeat of the last side.

All this attracted the whole attention of the two young children, who were full of blood and blood, and their muscles trembled uncontrollably, showing unspeakable fanaticism. At that moment, a seed was planted in Ike and Barr's hearts: something called vindictiveness was deeply rooted in their hearts.

What happened afterwards was extremely simple, the two children who ran home in a frenzy told their parents about their fanaticism. Ike falls asleep exhausted after receiving praise from his parents and sister, while little Barr is rewarded with a slap from his father, and countless subsequent slaps. From that day on, Lord Barr, who doted on his only son, began a long period of worry and anger, while little Barr, after receiving the exercises from his own head of guard, began his initial "cultivation" journey with Ike.

Although little Barr has been grounded since he was slapped by his own father, except for the academy, he is no longer allowed to go out to play, but is locked up at home to receive his father's "baptism", but little Barr, who is dedicated to a fighting warrior, still often looks for opportunities to sneak out. This made the lord angry, but fortunately, Viscount Baal did not take his anger out on others, and this act also made the lord's reputation even better.

However, Master Barr didn't care about this at the moment, he had just received a report from the chief of the guard, saying that the academy had not received the young master after school, and that he might have gone to Divas's house again. Hearing this, the face of the old man Barr, who was reading the book, remained unchanged, but his tone was very bad, and he said to the captain of the guard: "Death is above, let's go and catch this evil obstacle and come back." After saying that, Viscount Barr put down the book and walked straight out, he knew that if he didn't go, he wouldn't be able to bring back that guy, after all, these guards didn't dare to be rude. Seeing that the viscount had gone first, the chief of the guard also hurried over......

The Divas family is a family in the Viscount of Baal, who have not moved here since they moved here hundreds of years ago, and have been farming here for generations. Now there are four members of the Divas family, Mr. and Mrs. Kim Divas, and two children. The seventeen-year-old sister is named Janet Divas, and the fourteen-year-old brother is called Ike Divas, which is the same as little Barr

Comrade-oriented, playing quite iron-clad little Ike.

It's the busy farming season, and the senior school has started a month-long vacation so that the children of the farmers can go home to help. In the lower grades, classes continue as usual due to the young age of the students.

In Ike's house, in addition to his ninth-grade sister Janet, who has been working in the wheat field with her parents for a long time, little Ike also considerately goes to help after school every day.

After school, Ike delayed a lot of time because of an appointment with his good buddies, so as soon as little Barr climbed out of the wall, Ike stepped forward and took little Barr's hand and ran forward, saying as he ran: "Runestone, hurry up, I've been delayed for a long time, and my parents may go home if I'm late." ”
