Chapter 2 Uppsala

Uppsala is located in central Sweden, about 70 kilometers from the capital Stockholm. The city is bordered by the Felice River and Lake Mälaren, surrounded by fertile fields and dense forests.

Uppsala is not a big city, but it is a very special city for Sweden. Uppsala was not only the former capital of the old Swedish dynasty, but also the religious center of Sweden, where every Swedish king was crowned at Uppsala Cathedral.

For Sweden's present-day Vasa dynasty, Uppsala, though not the capital, is no less important than the capital, Stockholm. The city is home to many Swedish aristocratic families, including Gustav I, the founder of the Vasa dynasty, who used Uppsala as its temporary capital during the War of Independence. After the death of Gustav I, his mausoleum was in Uppsala.

The beautiful Lake Mälaren is located on the southern outskirts of Uppsala and stands on the shores of the lake, with a castle tower in the woods beside the lake in the distance. It is an ancient Gothic castle that was built in 2514 in this world, more than 100 years ago.

The castle is located on the edge of the lakeside woods, and the trees surrounding the castle have been cut down to clear a circular lawn. In front of the castle gate, a gravel path connects the road to Uppsala City. This ancient castle belonged to the famous Swedish aristocracy, the Anderson family.

The Anderson family once had a viscount in the early days of Sweden. However, after the death of the Viscount Anderson, the family road fell for a time and the castle was sold. Luckily, when the Anderson family was about to be forgotten, the last member of the family once again used loyalty and glory to awaken Uppsala's memories of this famous family.

Alfred K. Anderson, a young man of the Anderson family, takes the last remaining wealth of the Anderson family and embarks on a journey to the capital city of Stockholm. The young man's behavior caused some ripples among Uppsala's high aristocrats, but more people just used it as a pastime after dinner, and no one thought that the young man could achieve much.

However, when the young man returned to Uppsala again, the crowd was surprised to find that the young man, who had not had much of a shadow, had achieved as much feats and glory as his viscount grandfather.

Alfred, no, the newly promoted Baron Anderson reclaimed the family's castle with King Gustav II's bounty, and recalled the servants who had been loyal to the family. The Anderson family has risen again and re-established themselves as the prominent family of Uppsala.

Early morning sunlight pours through the lintel into the master bedroom in the castle's central tower. This bedroom is very large, at least more than 100 square meters, in addition to the luxurious queen bed in the center, there is a mahogany strip table on the left side, and a matching high-back chair. The walls around the bedroom are covered with violet wallpaper, and a portrait of a person hangs on the front wall. The young man in the portrait is dressed in a black dress, holding a scepter, and his face is Xu Mo.

On the luxurious bed, a young man's eyelids trembled slightly, and his consciousness seemed to be waking up from a deep sleep, and when his eyes slowly opened, an imperceptible glint flashed in the young man's pupils.

Xu Mo raised his hands, twisted his neck, and stretched comfortably. The young man looked around, then reached out and pulled a brocade rope at the head of the bed, then folded his hands behind his head, and lay quietly on the bed waiting.

"Aggressive!" After about two or three minutes, there was a rhythmic knock on the bedroom door, "Master Alfred, are you awake?" ”

"Come in, I'm awake!" Xu Mo said lightly as he sat up from the bed.

The door to the bedroom was pushed open from outside, and a white-haired old man in a tuxedo with a neat back and head combed entered the room with two young maids. The old man's name was Carl Elmand, and he was the old butler of the Anderson family, who had served the Anderson family since the time of Alfred's grandfather.

When the Anderson family declined, the old man didn't even want to be paid, and he worked hard to keep the castle running. It was only after Alfred sold the castle and left for Stockholm with his remaining wealth that the old man left in disgrace and returned to his hometown in Uppsala to live his life. At that time, with his age and body, he really couldn't follow the youth anymore.

When Alfred returned to Uppsala with a great deal of wealth and glory, the first thing he did was to recall the loyal old butler. Seeing the Anderson family rise again, the old housekeeper at that time was in tears, and his face was once again full of unprecedented youthful vitality.

"Alfred Master, you have two things to attend to today. The first thing was that early this morning, a messenger from Stockholm came to the castle, he left a letter, and the man had returned. Old Butler Carl placed the breakfast tray in his hand on the mahogany table along with the letters, and said slowly.

"Oh, so what's the other thing?" Xu Mo looked at the letter, raised his hands, and turned it in a circle, so that the maid could put on her coat.

"There's one more thing...... The eldest lady of Earl Larson's family invites you to a tea party, and there is also the ...... of the Carney family" There was a glimmer of divine light in the old eyes of the old butler Karl, who was a little cloudy.

"Push the ...... for me" Xu Mo just wanted to refuse these invitations, but suddenly frowned slightly, and changed his words again, "Carl, help me invite the nobles and wealthy merchants in Uppsala City, just say that tomorrow night, Anderson Castle will hold a grand ball, invite them to participate!" ”

"Yes, master! The eldest lady of Count Larson's house, and ......" The old butler's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he still nagged unrelentingly.

"Isn't it okay to bring a female partner to the ball? …… Well, well, these ladies can be noted separately in the invitation! Looking at the old housekeeper's serious expression, Xu Mo covered his face and said helplessly, "Now you are satisfied!" ”

"This is your decision, and it has nothing to do with Old Carl!" The old housekeeper beckoned to the two maids who had already helped Xu Mo get dressed, motioned for them to go out with him, turned around and muttered in a low voice, "...... When will you leave a battalion of descendants for the Anderson family, I will be satisfied......"

This old guy, there are more than 500 people in the first battalion of the new Swedish army, do you use Lao Tzu's replica as a seeding machine? Xu Mo couldn't cry or laugh on his face. After Old Carl and the two maids went out, Xu Mo came to the mahogany case, rinsed his mouth with the water cup on the breakfast tray, and opened the letter next to him while eating bread and cheese.

When the content of the letter appeared in front of Xu Mo, rows of list information flashed on his soul imprint light screen.

Time: Spring 2615 of the Sea Power Era.

Location: Uppsala.

Scenario: Mirror World - The Age of Sea Power.

Difficulty: Unmeasurable.

Pain Reduction: None.

Additional Personal Ability Enhancements: None.

Current World Exploration: 34.21%.

As a side note: This world is a killing scene, and those who are not reincarnated in the same team have a certain chance of dropping the Scarlet Rubik's Cube if they are killed, and those who are not reincarnated in the same space will definitely drop the Scarlet Rubik's Cube if they are killed. The Scarlet Cube will randomly contain one or more pieces of the Saminator's original equipment, or items from his personal storage space.

Hint: The battle between reincarnators in different spaces will be judged according to the most basic spatial laws, and the special skills of honor points, innate abilities, reincarnation's own comprehension skills, basic abilities, basic attributes, and skill strength will become the main judgment basis, and the attribute skills and space-granting skills of non-soul-bound equipment and props have a certain chance of being affected by other spatial laws and become invalid.

Hint: According to the strength of the Reincarnation team and the progress of the plot, the time and space points of the major teams entering the era of sea power are different, and the time difference is within ten days to one month. The law body information digitization module has been opened, and the reincarnation can view the character interface at any time through the soul imprint.

At present, there are 53,000 credits, 24 skill points, 25 superstring coins, 0 free attribute points, 333 honor points, and 27 gore points.

"Main quest 1: Call (E+). Samsara 228, you have received a call from the Swedish royal family in this world, and you must rush to Stockholm to report to the Royal Swedish Admiralty within three natural days. Reward: 3000 credits, 2 skill points. If you fail the mission, 100 honor points will be deducted! ”

"Temporary Speaker Special Side Quest: Develop! (Grade A). Samsara 228, as the Interim Speaker of the Council of Hilmy, if you get 1% of the World Exploration in this world, you will be able to get a lot of space rewards. Mission Failure: No Penalties! ”

"Special Competitive Mission: King Solomon's Treasure (rank unknown, quest clue not yet)."

Xu Mo slowly chewed the food in his mouth and fell into thought. The letter in his hand was a Navy Department call-up order, and it was obvious that although the superstring space could not erase the second-order and above professionals, it used a huge punishment of 100 honor points to demand that he must go to Stockholm according to the requirements of the mission.

It seems that this main quest is just a guided quest of a historical plot, and only after he arrives in Stockholm can he learn about the real main quest.

As for the task of temporary speaker and special competitive tasks, they have long been forgotten by Xu Mo. Competitive quests with no clues aside, the Speaker quest requires 1% World Exploration. The era of sea power is no longer the leisure world he just entered before, and more than 34% of the world exploration degree shows that this world has been developed to a large extent.

If he wants to get 1% of the world exploration, unless he starts a major historical plot like "North Sea Battle", it is almost impossible to deal with the Temple of the Gods and participate in other legendary historical plots.

Swallowing the last bite of food in his mouth, Xu Mo took out Yi Lingpa from his arms. After opening the Jinpa, the young man looked at a small diamond-shaped crystal in the middle of the Jinpa with complicated eyes......
