Chapter 204: Identity Granting
Boom, boom......
The roar of the train gradually increased, and after reaching the maximum, it was replaced by a rapid weakening, and when the roar of the car body completely disappeared, the next second, the long-closed hatch on the right side opened on its own, revealing the darkness outside.
Woola!
The opening of the car door means that the task begins, and whether the performer wants it or not, they must get out of the car as soon as possible, otherwise all that awaits everyone is merciless obliteration.
The train stopped, the door opened, and there was still darkness outside that could not be seen, this kind of darkness can be called absolute, even if the executor irradiates it with a flashlight or wears a night vision device, it is impossible to see the outside world clearly, according to the past practice, after explaining a few words of precautions to several newcomers, Ye Wei took the lead in getting off the train, and the rest of the people followed, and soon, the vision fell into familiar darkness, fortunately, Ye Wei had explained before, although most of the newcomers panicked during the offset, they could barely calm down for a while, and after about a minute, The vision of everyone gradually returned to clear.
Sure enough, as soon as the vision was clear, everyone except for the senior nerves also looked around for the first time and began to observe the environment, as for the 4 newcomers, they turned back unexpectedly, looking for the hell train that disappeared at some point, but unfortunately they were destined not to get the result, after all, even the veteran still can't understand how the train disappeared.
Getting back to the point, after a moment of observation, everyone found that they were currently in a wide plain, which was in the open air, the environment was clear at a glance, the surrounding scenery was very beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds and the air were fresh, giving people a kind of natural beauty, however, unfortunately, even if the scenery was beautiful, the environment was beautiful and now it had nothing to do with them, the executors, because ...... As the observation continued, in addition to determining the location of the environment where everyone was, the line of sight was directly ahead, a few hundred meters away......
There is also a large European-style manor house that is completely different from the modern architectural style.
As the current location of everyone is a high slope of the plain, the distance is not far and at the same time, you can easily see the situation of the manor, looking at it, the first thing that catches your eye is a circle of thick walls that surround the entire manor, these walls are composed of a large number of vertical iron bars connected by long white columns, and the iron gate in the middle seems to be carved with multiple patterns as decoration, making the entrance to the manor quite artistic, looking over the wall, and then there is a stone brick road full of beauty, the road winds and circles, extending to the central building of the road, There are also many lush plants and flowers planted on both sides, and it can even be said that most of the ground of the manor is almost covered with flowers and plants, except for the surrounding buildings and the middle road.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the line of sight continues to stretch along the road, until it is fixed in the front and the center of the whole manor, a tall European-style building immediately appears in the field of vision, in order to match the surrounding environment, there are also many artistic sculptures in front of the building and a flower garden on the left and right, it is obvious that this building is undoubtedly the core of the manor, and anyone with a little common sense knows that it is where the owner of the manor and his family live.
Yes, this is the territory of the British Empire in the early to mid-17th century in 1643 AD, and there is a good chance that it will be the location of the mission...... Halton Manor.
Halton Manor is also mentioned in the mission information as the Marquis de Mel's Court, which is undoubtedly a late medieval aristocratic residence.
Observing this, perhaps attracted by the beautiful environment and artistic atmosphere, He Fei, who was standing on the left side of Ye Wei, did not take the lead in thinking about the task as before, but couldn't help but open his mouth and praise: "It's beautiful, whether it is the scenery or the architecture, from the geographical point of view, the location of this manor is also very good, far away from the town There is a sense of paradise, it seems that whether it is ancient or modern, this rich man in the West is always very good at enjoying life." ”
The college student was moved, thinking that he would be echoed by others, but as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ying, who had been silent next to him, jumped out very inopportunely and poured cold water on the young man, first glanced at He Fei with the eyes of the hillbilly, and then shook his head and retorted with a serious expression: "Hey, hey, hey, you really think too much, don't forget that the era we live in this time is not the modern mission world similar to the real world in the past, this is 17th century Europe, Do you really think that this large luxury estate can be lived in just by having money? ”
He Fei couldn't help but pause after hearing this, and immediately turned his head to Cheng Ying in a puzzled tone and asked, "Huh?" What do you mean? Am I not right? ”
Similar to Peng Hu, the young man also gave full play to the fine spirit of asking if he didn't understand, but unfortunately in exchange for Cheng Ying's disdainful gaze, and then disdain returned disdain, Cheng Ying didn't speak, because Ye Wei, who was always observing the manor, spoke, and then said something that surprised most of the people present who didn't know about the ancient West:
"He Fei, Cheng Ying is right, things are really not as simple as you think, put aside modern Europe, Europe in the 17th century was at the end of the Middle Ages, no matter which country was basically ruled by the aristocratic system for a long time, this is very different from the ancient imperial examination system of our Z country, so for a long time, European countries, whether military or civil, have been in the hands of the aristocracy, and unlike the civilians of ancient Z country who can advance through the imperial examination, it is difficult for the civilians of ancient European countries to have a bright future. Unless you have made a special or significant contribution to the country and you may be knighted and promoted to nobility, you will always be a commoner, which involves a matter of system, and it is not just money that you can do whatever you want. ”
"Not only that, European kings have also established a sound system of noble titles, in general, most of the noble titles are hereditary, aside from the royal family, the king or queen will be rewarded and promoted by those who have contributed to the country, generally speaking, the noble title is divided into duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron five ranks, except for the duke, most of whom are held by the royal relatives, the marquis has been regarded as the apex of ordinary nobles who can be promoted, and the title does not represent the official position, It is only a symbol of aristocratic status and a symbol of the status of the canonized in this country, of course, after having a title, it also has the right to obtain an official position, and the monarch will often reward land, residences and slaves according to the title of the rewardee, and sometimes even appoint him to rule over the people, this luxurious manor in front of us...... It is estimated that it was most likely the residence of the Marquis de Mayer given by the British monarch. ”
After saying this, after a pause, Ye Wei immediately turned her gaze back to He Fei and continued to explain: "You can understand that ancient European nobles were often rich, but rich people are not necessarily nobles, even if you are rich, commoners are still not allowed to live in residences that exceed a certain specification, and the manor we are about to enter is a typical aristocratic mansion. ”
Ye Wei is worthy of being a person who has seen the world, and his historical knowledge is also profound, sure enough, as soon as the other party's voice fell, He Fei, who found that he had inadvertently made a big joke, couldn't help but blush, in order to find steps for himself, his eyes rolled, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Ah, haha, Sister Ye Wei is worthy of being a master's student, and she knows a lot." ”
In fact, it's no wonder that He Fei is making jokes, unlike Ye Wei, who has been in high society for a long time in the real world, He Fei is just an ordinary college student, not to mention that he has never been to other provinces a few times, not to mention that the discipline he studied during his time in school was not a history department, which is understandable, and it can even be said that most of the executors around him except Cheng Ying and Ye Wei held the same views as He Fei at the beginning, but He Fei inadvertently became a pathfinder for everyone.
Maybe he was afraid of making a joke, He Fei chose to shut up honestly after saying these words, but Zhao Ping, who seemed to have ignored the scenery from beginning to end and had been pondering some things about it, instinctively made a move, lifted his nose and glasses, walked to Ye Wei's side, and then stared at Ye Wei with slightly squinted eyes and asked him a key question: "The mission information has mentioned that in order to facilitate the execution of the mission, we will be given the identity and stay in the manor after entering the mission, this should be no problem, right?" ”
The man with glasses was a little worried in his words, but Ye Wei, who had actually experienced the task of identity assignment, nodded affirmatively and replied: "Well, no problem, although it is rare for an executor to be given a specific identity in the mission world, but few does not mean that there is none, for example, when I first entered the curse space, I happened to encounter an identity-granting mission, and the curse will not lie, so there is no problem with this aspect of identity, as long as you are given an identity by a mission in a mission world, then your identity will never change in the eyes of people in this world." ”
Having said this, it was enough to reassure Zhao Ping and the others, however, Xu was suddenly reminded of something, and after answering the question, the beautiful female captain added to the people around him again: "By the way, sometimes, when the executor is given a specific identity, there are often some more items on his body, such as something that can prove the identity of the executor." ”
Well? Proof of identity?
Let's not talk about the reaction of the newcomer who performed the supernatural mission for the first time, as soon as Ye Wei said this, not only Zhao Ping, who asked the question, was slightly stunned, but even He Fei, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu, who were on the side, were stunned, especially Cheng Ying, as a professional killer whose historical level and knowledge were not weaker than Ye Wei's, as soon as he heard the other party's words, he subconsciously reached out and touched his pocket, and the next moment, he actually took out a small item from his pocket under the eyes of other people around him and even himself. Something that he and others had never seen and could not possibly appear in his impressions, or something that appeared in his pocket at some unknown time......
It is a rectangular bronze medal made of brass, the size is not large, and the front is engraved with a vertical line of ancient and traditional Chinese characters that are obviously different from modern Chinese characters.
