Chapter 82: The Best of Times
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's not a thousand years ago!"
The carriage was speeding down the avenue, and the little fat man Georgie was chattering and nagging. Although there were three more unexpected passengers, the carriage still moved forward quickly under the pull of two strong and majestic horses.
Although Carl was careful about his words and deeds because of the presence of Pastor Brad, he tried not to talk much. But it didn't affect the little fat guy Georgie's talking sex in the slightest.
"If it was a thousand years ago, there would still be a large area of wilderness on the continent, and there would still be a large amount of uncultivated land on forests, swamps, grasslands, river valleys, valleys, valleys, woodlands, and wetlands, and the wild land between territories would still be entrenched by many monsters and alien races ......"
"If you awaken the knight bloodline in that era, you will be immediately granted the status of a knight, and there will be countless families who will extend an olive branch for you, willing to marry their beautiful daughter to you, just to obtain a high bloodline and a powerful knight ......"
"The Pioneer Era is the most beautiful era for knights, at that time there were still countless uncultivated lands on the continent waiting for knights to explore, and the various kingdoms and lord families only thought that the number of knights was not enough, and there was no need to worry about the land not enough to divide. ”
"In that era, countless pioneer knights held their swords high, and with the support of the royal family and lords, they slaughtered the wild wilderness where monsters and aliens were entrenched, cleared monsters, slaughtered aliens, and opened up new territories with one sword and one gun...... It was a truly desirable era, and many of today's aristocratic families were born from the pioneering actions of that era......"
"It's a pity that the land that can be developed on the mainland has been almost developed!"
Qiao Ji kept sighing: "The elves have already withdrawn from the continent, and the orcs have also taken refuge in the great wilderness behind the Taimurraya Snow Mountain, and only relying on the pass of the Snow Mountain can they stop the pursuit of our humans. Tough centaurs also hid in the dense forest, and could only be seen in the distant Northland and Central Mountains. The dwarves are hiding in the mountains and don't compete with us for living space, but wild monsters like goblins and ogres are almost extinct in today's human settlements......"
"Of course, this is a good thing for ordinary people, but for knights, it is a very sad thing!"
"If you don't have enough land, you can't divide the new knights, even if you have a noble bloodline and strong power, in this era, it is difficult to get a real territory and become a real territory noble!"
"Carl, it's a pity, what you have awakened is the crown bloodline! If in the pioneering era, just by virtue of the name of your bloodline, countless families are willing to marry you, and even if you are not willing to serve a certain family, you can easily gather countless people to follow, open up your own in the wilderness, and establish a new family!"
As a traveler from another world, Carl didn't have any feelings about Georgie's sigh, what pioneering era, what pioneering territory, for him was too far away, lacking a sense of reality.
However, the other people in the carriage were aroused by the little fat man Georgie, and they couldn't help but interject in the discussion.
"For knights, even if it is not in the best era of pioneering, it is good to be born in the imperial era where the Glory Emperor, the Holy Emperor, and the Iron and Blood Emperor were born!"
"That's right, that's right, the continent was turbulent in the imperial era, wars were frequent, countries annexed each other, I don't know how many ancient kingdoms and families lost everything in the war, lost their names, and I don't know how many new families were rewarded and rose in the war......"
"It's a pity that the existence of the three empires is only a flash in the pan, if the rule of the three empires can continue to this day, maybe it will be a different situation......"
"It's just a flash in the pan, if the three major empires continue and the continent is unified, won't it be the same as the Gulosta Empire?"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with a unified empire, at least you don't have to learn so many languages, you don't have to pay so many tariffs, you don't have to go to one place and be questioned about your identity......"
"Haha, how can it be possible for the continent to be ruled by an empire, war, war, only war can reflect the value of knights!"
"Without large-scale wars, without the territories deprived of by lords who lost wars, without newly cultivated lands, how can more and more knights be rewarded?"
"Speaking of which, the wars of the Age of Empires are not just the propaganda of the Church, but the evil mages and conspirators who are bewitching ......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
A young man was so engrossed that he had completely forgotten that there was a shepherd of the Lord sitting beside him!
"Haha, in fact, it's mainly at the end of the kingdom era, there are too many knights, and there is no longer enough territory to divide the seals, so I have to use the means of war to shuffle the cards......"
"Isn't it the same now, the number of knights now must be more than at the end of the Kingdom Age!
"No, I think the current situation on the mainland is very stable, except for a few years ago, the Holy Hyrule Empire fought a battle because of the succession to the throne, and the old enemies of the Holy Fran Empire and the Droz Empire fought because of the Duke of Bodi, it seems that there is no big war!"
"That's because more bloodline knights have been hired by merchants and gone to mercenary groups! The current top ten mercenary groups in the continent, whether it is the number of knights or the size of the soldiers, are no less than some knights in the imperial era!"
"Also, in the era of the kingdom, commerce on the continent was not as prosperous as it is now, and the knights could not live by other means except for wars and adventures!"
"Haha, thanks to the trade in the Harp Sea, thanks to the prosperity of commerce, guys, rejoice, we were born in the worst era for knights, but it was the best time for us ordinary people......"
Looking at the heated discussion of this group, and the crowd of people who kept cheering and rejoicing at the end, Carl couldn't help but secretly shake his head, this group of dirt buns who have never seen the world, such an era when civilians can't even eat black bread can be called the best era, and the best era is really cheap enough.
The carriage soon passed through the vast fields and through the hills of dense pine forests to the convent of Saint-Soulamel.
Unexpectedly, on the covered bridge in front of the convent of Saint-Sullamel today, a crowd of people stood.
A young knight dressed in a blue and white knight's suit, wearing a gorgeous red medallion belt, a wide-brimmed top hat with long feathers on his head, and a gold-rimmed gauntlet straddling his waist, the whole person was standing tall and upright, like a proud little rooster, standing straight at the entrance of the covered bridge, blocking the way of the carriage.
"Who is Carl Rowland?"
