The second month of the scorching season of 1142 (Note 1) is located in a hilly area of the Ernst domain.

"Tread-tread-"

"Wow#¥%##%!"

"Click-"

In the hills, a dozen or so goblins (or goblins), arguably the smallest and most common monsters on the continent, fled frantically. Behind them, several horsemen on tall horses were chasing after them, using their weapons to immortalize the lives of these weak but annoying green-skinned monsters.

The age of cold weapons on earth has proved countless examples of how miserable it is for infantry to be chased by cavalry when fleeing. And in the magic world, the existence of the gray iron lower rank is comparable to or even surpasses the level of the elite soldiers of the cold weapon era on the earth, not to mention that there is not even a gray iron rank among the goblins on the other side who are being pursued!

In this situation where the difference in strength is too great and they are still in pursuit, several cavalrymen are relieved and bold to follow and kill these dozen goblins without worrying about the opponent's dog jumping off the wall.

Are you kidding!

Just goblins, who can only rely on the numerical advantage, want to play a counterattack? Don't tell such jokes!

"Puff-p-p-"

In the cavalry camp, Rhodes, who was riding a large war horse that was obviously higher than other war horses, looked at the goblins in front of him who had their backs to him and did not dare to turn back, sneering, waving the two-handed slashing sword in his hand and swinging directly at those goblins, and with the crisp sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh and bones, one by one the goblins who were either headless or directly cut off half of their bodies were weakly soft to the grass.

"And one more"

When Rhodes controlled his half-horse-shaped demonic beast blood front horse that he had personally cultivated and rushed over, he found that there was a goblin dozens of meters away from the side that was preparing to run into the bushes.

Seeing the green-skinned goblin, Rhodes directly reached out and picked up a wooden cavalry submachine spear on the off-hand weapon hook behind him, and then threw it directly at the desperately fleeing goblin with his feel without hesitation.

"Brush-poof-"

With a cracking sound and a black shadow, the not-sharp wooden head of the hardwood wooden spear pierced the back of the green-skinned goblin without any armor or armor (even the goblins couldn't afford it) under the acceleration provided by the powerful force, and then directly nailed it to the grass.

"Master Rod, well done!"

"That's it! These damn goblins are all dead, and the scourge of the province will destroy those crops and livestock!"

When Rhodes rode up to the goblin who had finished playing with his horse and drew back his wooden spear, he was greeted by compliments from several cavalrymen who had just slaughtered the other goblins and complaints about the goblins as a scumbag creature.

Goblins are almost at the bottom of the world's food chain, and almost all other creatures except for those small vegetarians and smaller creatures are capable of destroying these creatures that are one meter two or three tall in the sky. To humans, goblins are annoying creatures that harass villages and farmlands, and often when they are not careful, they will secretly plague those farmlands and even steal domesticated livestock at night, which is equivalent to a nasty monster similar to the four evils.

However, the goblins can indeed be called fragile, and none of the little goblins killed by Rhodes and others just now can step into the gray iron rank, which can be called the level of some scum.

"Let's go back!"

After looking at the several cavalrymen of the gray iron pinnacle rank who belonged to the knight subordinate position (Note 2) in several surrounding territories to protect themselves in a surrounding formation, Rhodes, who was already used to it, said very simply.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A few kilometers away, in a village by a small river, Rhodes dismounted and pulled his precious war horse into the stable of the village. Then after Rod personally fed the war horse that he had raised since he was a child, he fed the war horse that was now quite comfortable and enjoying his food, and then explained to the groom before turning around and leaving the stable where more than a dozen strong war horses were parked with several other soldiers.

After entering the street of this village that seemed to have three or four hundred people, Rhodes and the others did not say hello to the villagers who appeared on the streets, and those villagers who were at most dressed in linen also looked at Rhodes in awe, and took the initiative to back down the street and bow down to show their respectful attitude.

After all, as civilians, they don't look like ordinary people when they wear armor and weapons, and the Rhodes are not something they can provoke, and learning to be respectful to the strong is a compulsory discipline for the weak in this world.

"Knight of Terr!"

When Rhodes stepped into one of the best houses in the village, which resembled a two-story wooden villa, he took the initiative to salute and greet the knight of Ter, who was standing up to greet him.

"Master Rod, you're welcome! Please come in!"

Of course, the knight of Tel, who had just returned home, could not say anything more to his first heir who was loyal to the lord, and said to Rhodes very affectionately. After all, Rhodes is not only the first heir in the Barony of Ernst, but the most important thing is that Rhodes, who is excellent in appearance, is equivalent to a disciple of him and Tamon, and belongs to the characters who need to be valued and treated equally.

Rod and Tel sat down in the hall, and the servant brought a few plates of snacks and two cups of bitter leaf tea with a little honey (similar to black tea, but with a somewhat bitter taste).

"Master Rhodes, is there anything else?"

After sitting down and talking to Rhodes about the pursuit of the goblins, Knight Tel looked at Rhodes sitting across from him and couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

The Knights of Tel, who had been with each other for several years, knew Rhodes' personality very well, and now there must be something to say.

"Knight Tel, can I stay in the village for two days for a while, I think my combat and related command skills need to be summarized."

Regarding the question of the Ter Knight, Rod simply put forward his absolutely not excessive request.

"No problem! But it's better to send someone to talk to the baron."

Hearing Rod's request, the knight of Ter, who seemed to be five big and three thick, agreed with his mouth, and even asked to inform the baron, and this Jian Yì was also agreed by Rod very simply.

So in the evening Rod was treated as a distinguished guest at the house of the Knight of Ter, and rested in one of the best rooms.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the evening, in the rooms of the Knights of Terre.

Lying on the bed, Rhodes simply lay down on the bed after a little examination, and then began to enter a meditative state.

"It's finally done" Looking at the ball shining with countless golden runes and patterns in his sea of consciousness, Rod couldn't help but feel a tearful feeling in his sigh.

Nima's! Rhodes was speechless about this thing that could only absorb souls by killing with his own hands. If it weren't for the fact that this thing should be related to his own crossing and possibly the golden finger he had after crossing over, it would have been difficult for Rhodes to have been serving this thing for more than two years.

Not to mention the combat training of that year, for a full year and a half, Rhodes had to come out to patrol the Ernst family territory every few months. And the opportunity to find the enemy and do it yourself is quite rare, if it weren't for the fact that Rhodes had just stepped into the gray iron upper stage in the last half a year and some restrictions were relaxed, it is estimated that he would have to work hard to make this golden ball that doesn't know what the golden finger is.

"What the hell is this?"

Rhodes watched for a long time around the orb, which was filled with golden runes and strange patterns, and filled with liquid, but still had no accurate answer.

The golden orb now looks like anyone can see what's so extraordinary!

Because the various golden patterns and runes on this golden ball are not fixed at all, but appear subtle changes and tremors from time to time like living creatures. If you study it closely, you can feel that the runes and patterns on the golden ball contain countless mysteries, but if you turn your head, you can't feel the mysteries.

Looking at the golden finger that seemed to be able to activate the consummation, Rhodes himself was now a little hesitant.

Now Rhodes is like that Ye Gong Haolong, who used to look at the translucent ball and thought it was a golden finger, so he invested several years of free energy in it. And at this time, Rhodes himself is a little suspicious. After all, what if you get it wrong and it's not a cheat but something else?

"TMD! is a blessing not a curse, it is a curse that cannot be avoided! Let's see."

But immediately, after experiencing the reverse infection of the idea of respecting the strong in the magic world for more than ten years, Rhodes immediately woke up, and simply erased a trace of cowardly thoughts that emerged in his heart, but chose to contact the golden ball without hesitation.

After all, even if this thing is not a golden finger, it always has to be solved when it appears in the sea of consciousness, and now it is nothing more than fighting for your own character

After muttering in his heart and calling for the blessings of some gods and Buddhas in his previous life, Rod's consciousness began to come into contact with the golden ball, and then Rod, who was still prepared for various thoughts, received a short message with a lot of information from the golden ball.

"Do you want to start activating the main god space seed?"

(Note 1: In the continental calendar, the year is divided into four stages: the season of recovery, the season of heat, the season of harvest, and the season of cold winds, which corresponds to spring, summer, autumn, and winter.) With the exception of the Season of the Cold Wind, which has four moons, the other three seasons are only three months, and one month is equivalent to the transition time between two silver and purple moons, which is thirty days. )
