In the Season of Water, in the middle of the Centaur Hills of the Kingdom of Gambis, stands a huge castle made of limestone and obsidian, which belonged to the Earl of the Kingdom, Embiter York. The Earl of York, as the governor of the kingdom of West, held a high position. The castle naturally became the centerpiece of the kingdom's new territory. The fort is framed by solid limestone and walled with obsidian hardness, and looks like a black beast, also known as the Black Fort.

Inside the castle, in a room as warm as spring. Two well-dressed men were talking in a low voice.

"Victor, when the Marquis heard of what happened to you, he was very worried, and sent me to the Black Fort to assist you in related matters. A middle-aged man looked at the somewhat distracted young man sitting in the chair with burning eyes, and sighed secretly.

After all, the baron in front of him was only 18 years old, and he was kicked from the royal capital to this wild new territory by the marquis in the name of inheriting the territory when he was just an adult, and now he was conspired and calculated by others, and almost lost his life, until this time, he was still a little delirious. When the middle-aged man thought of this, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and his eyes softened a little.

This young man, with dark hair and black pearl-like eyes, slightly pointed ears, obviously has the blood of a moon elf, he has a handsome face, a slender body, a rare beautiful young man. It's just that at this moment, his face is pale, his eyes are dull, and he looks like he has just recovered from a serious illness. He was none other than the feudal nobleman of the Kingdom of Gambis, Baron Victor Wimbledon.

And now, the young baron has a new soul in his body----- Zhang Xiaoqiang.

In the process of soul fusion, Zhang Xiaoqiang sorted out the broken memories of the young baron.

This is a new world made of earth, fire, wind, water, and the four elements, and its laws are very different from the original world. The four elements circulate and form seasonal changes. Spring is formed when the earth element is strong, the fire element forms summer, the wind element forms autumn, and the water element forms cold winter. Each season is divided into four months of 36 days depending on the strength of the elements.

The four elements blend and repel each other in this world, constituting various substances and life. And human beings are not the only intelligent race in this world, in addition to humans, there are also intelligent beings such as elves, goblins, orcs, barbarians, etc., the number of types is staggering.

Due to the elemental nature of life, some individuals possess extraordinary powers, and the strong individual power also makes the human society here still in the stage of aristocratic separation. And Victor Wimbledon himself is a baron of the kingdom of Gambis in the human world.

In his memory, Victor was originally the concubine of a country nobleman. At the age of 12, his father gave it to Sophia Wimbleton, a Marquess of Wimbledon, to raise and educate him. At the age of 15, he became the new husband of the beautiful widow who raised him.

Sophia was originally the third wife of the old Marquis of Wimbleton, the kingdom's finance minister, she was only 20 years old when she married the old marquis, and the old marquis died of illness only 3 years later.

Since the old marquis had no direct heirs, the other members of the Wimbledon family began to seek the old marquis's inheritance and title.

Just when there was a lot of trouble, Sophia took out the old marquis's will. The will stated that the late Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom would hand over all his property and titles to his widow Sophia. The will was also notarized by a prominent figure in the royal family.

Wealth and titles are on the side of others, how can the members of the Wimbledon family be willing, so they went to the noble senate to appeal.

After several games, the Senate recognized the validity of the will, but demanded that the Marquess Sophia choose a husband in the Wimbledon family within three years, in accordance with the decree of nobility.

Sophia was originally a famous beauty in the royal capital, and the noble children of the Wimbledon family began to pursue her frantically, wanting to win the favor of the beauty, and eventually be able to get both people and money.

However, it is surprising that the Marquess Sophia chose the second son of a down-and-out baron of the Wimbledon family as her husband three years later.

This lucky man was Victor Wimbleton, who was only 12 years old at the time, and was brought back to the Marquis Palace by Sophia to train carefully, and married Sophia three years later, Sophia also inherited the title of Marquis, and became the most sought-after nobleman in the kingdom.

Victor Wimbledon was young and handsome, and he also awakened the blood of the moon elves, and won the favor of Sophia, and three years after the marriage, the marquis spent a lot of money to buy him a baronial title and a hereditary domain.

The little baron himself obeyed Sophia's words and was extremely attached to him, and he rushed from the royal capital to his new territory to take up his post according to the orders of the marquisess, but he was attacked by bandits on the way, and his brain was severely injured, and he remained unconscious until his soul was replaced by Zhang Xiaoqiang, who came through the country.

In the process of fusing the soul of the little baron, Zhang Xiaoqiang read his memories from the perspective of a third person, and was extremely disdainful of the little baron's deep attachment to the Marquis Sophia, but he was also determined to survive in this strange world with this new identity.

From now on, I will be Baron Victor Wimbledon. Zhang Xiaoqiang thought secretly.

"Mr. Abel, it's great that you're here! In this incident, the guards I brought were killed by the bandits. 70,000 gold soles were looted. But the worst part is that the people I managed to gather two months ago have also fled. If it weren't for the bandits who wanted to exchange me for ransom, I wouldn't have been spared. The little baron said excitedly to Abel with red eyes.

Lord Abel, Marquis Sophia's right-hand man, is in charge of the Stag Merchant Group, one of the four major merchant groups in the Marquis Mansion. He was in charge of trade with the Rant Empire and the Kingdom of El, and earned a lot of wealth for the Marquisate's Palace. Abel is a shrewd and steady man, and he is deeply trusted by the Marquis of Sophia.

Victor entered the Marquis's Court at the age of 12, and it was Lord Abel who taught him about commerce and geography, so Victor called Lord Abel his teacher according to his previous memories.

Lord Abel pondered for a moment and said, "Victor, I rushed over after receiving a message from Lord Marquis in Red Leaf Town. I don't know much about what happened to you, and I hope you can + describe it in more detail. ”

Victor began to describe it to the Lord, following the memories he had compiled in his mind.

It turned out that the Kingdom of Gambis had begun to expand its territory into the eastern part of the kingdom five years ago. Due to the loss of the kingdom's war against the Rand Empire, a large area of territory was lost, and even His Majesty King Ryan was unfortunately killed in a knightly duel with His Majesty Neowest, the Rand Emperor. The kingdom was in turmoil.

Although the war was over, the kingdom increased its military investment in order to deter other restless neighbors, which increased the financial burden on the kingdom. Driven by the new treasurer, the royal family of Gambis began to sell the lands and titles of the Centaur Hills to the noble families of the kingdom.

The Marquis of Sophia even invested 500,000 gold soles to purchase a barony and a hereditary baronial title in the Centaur Hills in the name of Victor.

The young Baron Victor, with the documents signed by the Senate, came to the Centaur Hills to submit the documents to the Doge's Palace and prepared to take over the new territory. However, just as Victor arrived in his new territory with his guards and recruited people, they were attacked by a bandof thieves. These bandits showed amazing strength, and one of the bandits even had the combat power to be inferior to that of a knight. Victor's bodyguards were no match for desperate resistance, and were eventually slaughtered, and the recruited lords were dispersed by the bandits, while Victor himself was captured by the bandits.

A month later, the thieves and the captured barons were in the process of being transferred, and they encountered a cavalry team led by Sir Bruce, their knight sent by the Black Castle to hunt them down. After a fierce battle, the bandits were routed, and only a few powerful bandits scattered and fled, while the rest were either killed or captured. During the melee, Baron Victor unfortunately injured his head and remained unconscious. It wasn't until Lord Abel's arrival that he just woke up.

"Victor, it's not as simple as you encountered a group of thieves. Abel gently stroked the white crystal ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and those who knew him well knew that this was a small gesture of Lord Abel as he was thinking.

"Victor, I once taught you not to look at the surface of a problem, but to find the essence of the problem. Abel pondered for a while and said, "If you want to find the essence of the problem, you can start from several aspects. First, let's look at the consequences of things. ”

"Are you saying I've lost all my supporters?" Victor lowered his head in apprehension, but Able didn't notice a glint in his eyes.

"Yes, you've lost your people and guards, and you're in your own territory. But there's one thing you haven't noticed, and that's that you're in the Black Bunker right now. Abel looked squarely at Victor, his eyes shining with wisdom.

The X-3 chip kicks into operation, extracting relevant memories in the mind. It didn't take long for Victor to find the key point.

"Lord's Law!!" Victor jerked to his feet and looked at Able in shock.

The Law of Lieges, one of the ancient laws of the human kingdom, although the ancient laws are not actually binding, are generally recognized by the human nobility and regarded as the basis for evaluating the good and evil of a lord. This law clarifies the rights and duties of the lord, two of which are related to Victor's current situation, one is that the lord must protect the lord from bandits, monsters, demons, and all other evil people when receiving the offerings of the lord. Second, the lord must not leave the territory easily, and one of the lord's successors must be guarded in the territory during the year.

"If you break these two commandments, our Governor has the initiative, and he can impeach you in the name of the Governor of the new realm, and if done properly, even strip you of your realm and title. Hehe, that's a good calculation. Lord Abel couldn't help but sneer.

"He... Why did he do that?" said Victor, looking horrified and puzzled.

"Thinking about who the Earl of York used to be, and where he stands, his purpose is already obvious. Abel said slowly.

"And the group of thieves who attacked you is probably the Blood Fox Bandits that were once active in the Duke of York. ”

This is a black hand. Victor's eyes flashed, and he sat down slowly.
