When he was in college on Earth, Rhodes had read some analysis on the Internet, and he still had his own understanding of most of those reborn and time-traveling online YY novels.

Unlike the modern society, where the management is more strict but most of the time the law is still emphasized, if there is a child in the Celestial Empire and Western antiquity who can invent some new technology or cornucopia, then he will definitely not enjoy the title of "genius", "prodigy" and countless wealth, and most of the time will be regarded as a monster or a devil - of course, if that buddy is conceited or in a good situation, It could also be seen as the reincarnation of an immortal or God blessing.

It's a pity that in the magical world with supernatural powers, Rhodes estimates that if he is too high-profile, he will 100% enjoy the name and treatment of devils or demons - it is undoubtedly very difficult for people in the magic world to accept the ideas and ideas of the twenty-first century on the earth, even if there is no so-called Holy See here, there are nobles, knights, magicians and the like, and there is no strength to support it, and it is too high-profile to pretend to be forced instead of cow!

Therefore, from the age of three to the age of five, during the two-year study period, Rhodes thought for a long time, but did not think of an invention or creation that could show good economic benefits, but also fit the scope of his own knowledge and control.

Papermaking, earth-based steelmaking, glass burning, distilled spirits and other necessary knowledge for travelers, but Rod found the relevant steps and methods from his vague memories before crossing - thanks to the detailed information collected by those great gods or more real authors on the earth before crossing when they wrote the time travel novel, so that Rod excavated those vague memories with a greatly enhanced memory.

It's a pity that the problem is still the same, even if a three-year-old or five-year-old kid knows this, he can't get these things out with a suitable reason, let alone maybe keep these things and even affect himself and his family.

Not to mention the magical world where the strong are respected, even on the earth in the 21st century, ordinary scientists can come up with some money-making inventions, and those giants with a much more sensitive nose than a dog will try their best to get these inventions and licenses into their own hands as long as they are sure that they are correct.

Having never minded estimating the greed of others with the most malicious attitude after being reborn, Rhodes would not believe that there is no such thing in the magical world that is dazzled by gold coins. What if the Ernst family was a noble family with a domain and a baronial title? In the case of enough temptation, a baronial family is estimated to be really not enough to see!

So, in the mood of self-entanglement, Rod Ernst, who is still a little child, can only study hard!

Well, after he was five years old, the idea was put on hold for the time being.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When Rod Ernst was five years old, he finally began to get in touch with the ways of supernatural power in this world after learning the lingua franca of the mainland and some related poetry, history, etiquette and other courses!

Knight! Enchanter! warrior

Baron Ernst recounted the names of his precious eldest son, who was just five years old, one by Baron Ernst, and explained them in different tones such as boasting, envious, and belittling.

Of course, the profession he boasted of was a knight, and the profession chosen by Baron Ernst himself to seduce his precious son Rod Ernst was also considered a family inheritance.

Needless to say, of course, it's the famous master!

However, after listening patiently for a while, Rod did not have more detailed information except that he learned from his current father that the legal profession was called a magician, and there were categories such as alchemist, enchanter, and pharmacist.

As for the professions of warriors, archers, animal trainers, thieves, etc., Rhodes understood from the unusually disdainful tone of his father's mouth that it would not be the profession he could choose in the future. According to Rod's opinion, the two paths of knight and mage are the future paths that his father has predetermined for him.

If there was a choice, Rhodes would definitely be willing to choose the rather lofty profession of magician, that is, the mage.

It's a pity that after passing the test of a middle-aged mage that even Baron Ernst politely faced, Rod Ernst, who was just five years old, was judged to be not a mage.

"Young Master Ernst's mental power activity and elemental affinity are very good, but the total mental power is not up to the standard requirements of a magician apprentice, it is not difficult to become a magician apprentice, but if you want to become a full-fledged magician"

After listening to what the official magician had to say about his precious son, Baron Ernst simply decided on the direction of Rhodes' future career - knight!

Because in this magical world, the profession of magician is certainly a promising avenue, but before cultivating to become a full-fledged magician, the massive resources that need to be invested are also numbers that can make a territorial baron feel painful!

If his eldest son had that qualification, Baron Ernst would certainly be able to make up his mind and let Rhodes step into the path of magical practice. But now that the official magician had said that it was easy for his son to become an apprentice magician, and when he had little hope of becoming a full-fledged magician, Baron Ernst decided to let his son step into the path of knightly practice!

After all, as a formal knight, Baron Ernst can see that his son is stronger than ordinary children of the same age, and he is definitely a good seedling for knights, warriors and other melee types. And the Ernst family, as a baron family with military merits and a noble person, happens to have a fairly complete set of knightly cultivation processes and secret methods, and as the first heir, Rhodes is really a suitable choice to practice the knight's path!

So, when he was only five years old, Rod Ernst was chosen by his father to follow the path of knightly cultivation before he could express his opinion!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Knight!

In the magical world, this not only represents a quasi-noble title that is higher than the commoner and lower than the noble, but also represents a powerful profession!

The situation in other fantasy novels and games is not clear to Rod, but as a first-hand experience of practicing the path of knighthood since the age of five, Rhodes can definitely say that in this magical world, knighting is definitely a profession that needs to be cultivated from an early age and costs a lot of money.

First of all, it is impossible to be a knight without a mount of your own. And unlike the war horses or pure ** of the knights of the cold weapon era on the earth, the knights' mounts in this magical world are more of Warcraft!

However, not to mention those Warcraft that can only be dealt with by at least official knights and official magicians, the future mount that Rhodes has chosen is a half-equine Warhorse Monster bloodline.

From the age of five, in addition to normal physical fitness, weapon use, fighting, and riding training, the first thing Rhodes did every day was to take care of his young horse, which had just been born, and help the little one brush the bristles, feed, and walk - it is said that this is an important process for the knight profession to develop affection and cooperation with the mount.

Secondly, in addition to combat training such as physical fitness and weapons, and mount training, Rhodes, who was trained as a knight, also had to study small-scale battlefield command and military strategy after the age of twelve.

However, now while Rhodes has been training in physical fitness and weapons since he was five years old, he has also discovered the difficulty and great cost of cultivating knights in this magical world of nobles and knight families.

For example, in addition to needing a lot of meat to provide adequate nutrition for the knight's apprentice (Rod's current official title), it is best to use the meat of those monsters as a supplement.

As for the pool water like the one that Rhodes just bathed in, it is somewhat similar to the medicinal bath in the Heavenly Empire of Medicine on Earth, in addition to being able to quickly restore one's body, it can also heal the subtle injuries that appear on the bodies of those knight apprentices!

Of course, this knight and warrior melee class training recipe called Vitality Water is said to be the legacy obtained by the Terrans after defeating the elves, and it was later circulated only among those noble and knight families.

However, Rhodes felt that this kind of bath required several Golden Crowns (Note 1), and even if it was circulated, not many ordinary people could afford to use it.

After all, in the Ernst Domain, a common commoner's family earns only a few gold coins a year(Note 2), and the cost of soaking it once is enough for an ordinary commoner's family to drink the Northwest Wind for a year. As a knight's apprentice, Rhodes began soaking every three months at the age of five, and then became two months at the age of eight. Now at the age of twelve, it has become necessary to soak once every month and a half.

Mounts, training costs, weapons, armor

If you really want to train a knight, not to mention the final success rate, just before the age of twelve, Rhodes's investment was more than six hundred gold coins.

Not to mention the cost of Cheng Dù this time, even among those knight families and low-ranking nobles, the descendants who do not really have the right to inherit or have that qualification will definitely not be able to afford it.

(Note 1: Gold coins issued by the Kingdom of Taran have a crown on them, hence the name "Golden Crown".) )

(Note 2: The value of the coins of the Talan Kingdom is similar to that of the Terran countries on the mainland, one gold coin is equivalent to twelve silver coins, one silver coin is equivalent to five silver slots, one silver slot is worth twenty copper coins, and one copper coin is worth four copper slots.) The price is two copper coins to buy two pieces of brown bread enough for an adult to eat. )
