Chapter 1: Alfred
Qin Chao looked at his surroundings blankly, his mind blank. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is a spacious bedroom with an area of at least 40 square meters, with a dark red tone, from the curtains to the carpet to the mattress quilt on the bed, and even the tablecloth on the desk are all dark red, which makes people feel heavy, but not depressing.
Then there are the surrounding walls, and the ornate decoration of the whole bedroom is that there are no ornaments on the walls, and there are huge blue and black boulders exposed, as if the only material that makes up this building is this piece of blue and black boulders - this is of course very strange, in this era of red bricks, white tiles, reinforced concrete, except for those ruins and antiquities, the Qin Dynasty has never seen a building completely made of boulders.
So when he opened his eyes and found that he was in this kind of environment full of a strong Gothic atmosphere, Qin Chao inevitably lost the ability to think completely, and he couldn't imagine how he could appear here after a car accident.
It's been a long time.
Perhaps gradually accustomed to the shock of the senses, driven by the confusion, curiosity, and fear of the unknown of his environment, Qin Chao, who was lying on the big bed, finally tried to stretch his arms and sit up to learn more about his surroundings.
However, as soon as his hands were pressed on the bed, he suddenly felt that his lower body had no sensation at all, which made Qin Chao, who was already a little calm, panic again, and his already pale lips were instantly bloodless, almost transparent.
Then, subconsciously, he reached out and touched his legs, until he clearly felt that his legs were still there, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief. Then thinking briefly that the unconsciousness of his legs might only be a temporary sequelae of the car accident, Qin Chao sat up with difficulty with only his arms and leaned against the head of the bed.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Qin Chao, who was just about to lift the quilt to look at his legs, turned his head to look at the door for the first time- It was an old man, to be exact, an old man wearing a straight tuxedo and holding a tray in his left hand appeared at the door without warning, and he was obviously shocked after seeing Qin Chao sitting on the bed, which tilted from the tray in his hand, the silver bowl on the tray slipped to the ground, and the milky white milk spilled on the ground and splashed on his trousers, but he was unconscious, just looked at Qin Chao in a daze.
So the helpless Qin Dynasty had no choice but to smile hard.
The smile finally reminded the old man that he was not dreaming.
The old man quickly reflected, and although his expression was still strongly shocked, it was obvious that there was more surprise in the shock. His wrinkled face smiled, and then he bent down to pick up the silver bowl on the ground and put it back on the tray, in this series of movements, the old man was obviously in an extremely shocked and surprised mood, because even Qin Chao could clearly see that his hands had been trembling slightly.
However, despite this, whether it was bending down or picking up the silver bowl from the ground, the old man's movements had always been upright and meticulous, as if his irrepressible mood swings could not affect his movements at all, so rigorous that Qin Chao even felt that if it weren't for his emotional outpouring, he would probably think that he was a machine.
"I'm sorry my young master, but I don't think you think you took it away from your cheese, it's just a pair of pants, after all. ”
Master.
This strange and funny but unusually familiar name, coupled with the old man's increasingly familiar face, suddenly made Qin Chao's mind flood with a memory that did not belong to him at all, making him have a splitting headache.
......
"Three months ago, Alfred Manor suffered a tragic and bloody sneak attack, it was a moonlit night, a full 30 black armor knights attacked the manor, the battle lasted from night until the night was dispersed by dawn, blood spread on the manor meadow, and finally merged into a river. Lord Earl died on the spot, and you, young master, were also seriously injured and in a coma for 3 months, and could hardly wake up again. No one knows why this group of black-armored knights attacked Alfred Manor, and no one knows where these black-armored knights came from, the only thing we can be sure of is that this black-armored knight team is definitely not the power of a family in the abandoned wasteland, because no family in the wasteland can be strong enough to have such a strong knight group with an average strength of at least level 7. Of course, it is even more unlikely that they will come from the Lich Court, because the cold winter is approaching, and the barren Lich will invade the wasteland at any time to plunder food, not to mention that they don't need to target Alfred, even if they are hateful, they will not easily lose any knight with level 7 fighting spirit at this time. ”
The sun is shining outside the window, and the room is bright and warm.
However, under the old man's gentle narration, it seemed that even the temperature of the air was decreasing, and Qin Chao, who was sitting on the bed, could not feel warmth or brightness, and only the picture of the battle in his mind was the silver moon, the knight, the sword light, the blood, the corpse, and the howl...... These pictures were told by the old man, coupled with the memory that Qin Chao had awakened at this time, which intuitively made Qin Chao feel immersive, and he even seemed to see the scene of the knight with the black mask slamming his fist in the chest. Although he was not the same person at that time, Qin Chao still subconsciously felt a pain in his chest.
This is the second time that the Qin Dynasty has woken up.
Accepting his memories in this life, Qin Chao naturally knew what happened to him after the car accident.
For the crossing, the Qin Dynasty must feel absurd, but it is not completely unacceptable, no matter how he used to be mixed with major websites to read all kinds of crossings and rebirth texts, so for the Qin Dynasty, at this time, he was indeed at a loss and more afraid, especially considering the situation he was facing at this time: his father in this life, Count Alfred, died in that tragic attack, and he was the first heir to the Alfred family, so he should inherit the earldom and become the helmsman of the Alfred family, he was even more confused.
Therefore, listening to the old man's narration, facing the bright sunlight outside the window, Qin Chao, who was squinting, just subconsciously asked, "What about the current situation?"
The old man's expression was calm, but he looked down at the young master who must have been awakened by the Lord's gift, and his eyes suddenly flashed with hesitation. But in the end, he still said softly: "In the past 3 months, Alfred's territory has not been affected too much, there has been no panic and no turmoil, thanks to your sister Miss Elizabeth, who executed several Alfred's servants in the first place, in exchange for Alfred's peace, of course, only temporary." ”
Elizabeth.
Of course, Qin Chao had an impression, and when he mentioned his sister in this life, although he had not seen it, a delicate and touching girl's face quickly appeared in his mind - perhaps a girl with long black hair could not be called beautiful and charming, but her bright eyes that bent into crescents when she smiled, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks made her look particularly cute. And thinking of these, the Qin Dynasty inevitably remembered that in those years, when he was cultivating his fighting spirit on the grass of the manor in this life, his sister would always sit quietly and wait for him, so the inexplicable warm current in his heart finally made the Qin Dynasty feel warm.
But the warmth didn't last long, when he thought that he was only 17 years old at this time, and his sister was only 15 years old, but he had already taken on the heavy responsibility that he should have borne after their father died in battle, Qin Chao was only bitter in his heart, and he couldn't imagine how such a quiet girl could face this bad situation, and how he decisively stabilized Alfred's situation.
He struggled to speak, "What about Elizabeth?"
"The city of Sauron, the meeting of Sauron. ”
The old man first said such a simple sentence, and then when he noticed the astonishment on Qin Chao's face, he remembered that his young master had been in a coma for a full 3 months after all, and many things were difficult to reflect for a while. Therefore, he explained to the Qin Dynasty in detail: "The cold winter has come, and the Lich Royal Court, which lacks the resources to survive the winter, will invade and abandon the wasteland every winter to plunder the food for the winter, so in order to allow the nobles in the wasteland to safely move to the back of the city wall before the Lich invasion, in Sauron City, there will be such a meeting every year to determine which family is responsible for breaking the queen, resisting the invasion of the Lich, so that more families can be transferred more safely, and this is the only reason why the 'Council of Sauron' was established." After a pause, the old man looked at Qin Chao with complicated eyes, and added: "What's more, if nothing else, I'm afraid that Alfred will resist the invasion of the lich this year." ”
The Qin Dynasty didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the old man's last words.
Of course, he may just not have noticed the old man's last words, after all, although he accepted all the memories of this life, but many of the details he obviously couldn't accept in a short period of time, so listening to the old man's explanation, the Qin Dynasty naturally showed his doubts, he said: "Transfer? Why transfer? Could it be that the empire is allowed to be invaded by the lich? The empire doesn't have any legions stationed in the wasteland?"
The Forsaken Wasteland is the territory of the Holy Empire, and Alfred and the other nobles in the wasteland are naturally also subjects of the Holy Empire.
These relatively general conceptual issues were clearly understood by the Qin Dynasty in the memory of this life.
"Young Master, I'm afraid you've forgotten why the Abandoned Wasteland is called the Abandoned Wasteland. The old man looked at Qin Chao's puzzled expression, and finally made sure that even if his young master woke up, he had forgotten a lot of things, and he said patiently: "All the nobles who have committed crimes will be expelled to this land bordering the northern lich to suffer and curse, so this is a place where the nobles who have been abandoned by the empire gather, and it is also a place abandoned by the empire to some extent, the empire will naturally not send any legions to station and guard, and even the Holy See of Light has not built a church in the wasteland." Although the nominally abandoned wasteland still belongs to the Holy Empire, it belongs to the Lord. ”
A nobleman who has sinned?
The Qin Dynasty was stunned again, and there really wasn't any information about Alfred's crime in his memory.
But this is not important at this time after all, the important thing is that the Qin Dynasty has gradually realized the seriousness of the matter - since the empire will not provide any guarantee to the wasteland, and the nobles in the wasteland will not unite to resist the enemies in the north, then this means that the family in charge of the broken queen every year will have to fight against the Lich Court with the strength of one family! This is not a difference in numbers at all, it is simply a disparity in strength in all aspects! Although the Lich Court lacks resources, as far as a certain family is concerned, it seems that the Lich can only be a behemoth no matter how you look at it.
Hitting a stone with an egg?
The Qin Dynasty couldn't help but feel that this so-called 'Sauron Conference' was a complete joke at all!
According to the old man, this meeting has existed since the day it was established in the wasteland, and no matter how stupid and useless this meeting is, it is not something that a Qin dynasty or an Alfred can deny. At this time, the only thing that the Qin Dynasty could consider was how to implement this so-called 'Sauron Conference'...... But the question arises again, how should he think about it? Not to mention that he has just come to this world, even if everything is as usual, Alfred alone can resist the Lich for a few days, a day or half a day? What's more, at this time, Alfred has just suffered a brutal attack, his strength is greatly damaged, and civil strife may break out at any time, so is it realistic for Alfred in this situation to resist the invasion of the Lich again?
Qin Chao finally realized how critical the situation he was facing at the moment, and he finally understood why after he woke up for the second time, the old man beside him no longer showed any excitement or surprise, but only blindly heaviness and hesitation. He turned around slowly, finally put his gaze on the old man's face, and asked, "How did the family that was previously responsible for breaking off the queen and resisting the invasion of the lich do it?"
The old man was still calm: "All the families responsible for the aftermath have become history and no longer exist. ”
That said, Alfred was doomed.
