Chapter 001: The Earl's Son
In the early morning, the morning light is faint, and the genius is bright.
"What are you doing...... Why are you again?Big brother, do you dare to come up with a new plot?!" The silver-haired boy sat up from the bed with a helpless face, sleepy-eyed, obviously not fully awake from his sleep.
The silver-haired boy had a dream.
Obviously, the content of the dream didn't seem to give him much pleasure.
His name is Rorschach and he is sixteen years old.
In fact, it is not surprising that Rorschach has the exaggerated reaction just now, anyone who has the same dream day after day, year after year, and the content of this dream is that he is swallowed by an extremely vicious beast, it will not be very pleasant.
At first, Rorschach would be frightened and sweaty because the dream was so real that before it was swallowed, he could clearly see the sharp teeth of the beast, and the terrifying saliva dripping from between the teeth that was enough to corrode the earth, as well as the deep black glow that permeated the beast's body...... It's all horrifying!
However, when the same scene appeared in his dreams every day, when he had lost count of how many times he had experienced this scene repeatedly, there would be no fear at all, and some would just be deeply helpless.
"However, this is one of the few things that can bring back memories of my past, after all, sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye......" Rorschach's face showed a little nostalgia.
It is true that Rorschach did not know why he repeated such an inexplicable dream, but it is worth mentioning that the beast that swallowed him again and again in his dreams actually knew its origin...... In the world where Rorschach lived in his previous life, that fierce beast had a great name called 'gluttony'!
[Gluttony, the head of the four murders of antiquity, one of the nine sons of the ancestral dragon!]
No one in this world other than Rorschach would know the origin of this beast, because just like Rorschach's past, the name of 'gluttony' only exists in another world.
If it weren't for the fact that Rorschach had an ancestral ancient kitchen knife engraved with the pattern of 'gluttony', which made him interested in learning about 'gluttony', he might not have known this information, because even in the world in his previous life, not everyone was interested in myths and legends.
But what's the point of knowing that?
Rorschach even suspected that the reason why he came to this world was because of the 'gluttonous' kitchen knife, because he had inexplicably crossed over after dreaming of 'gluttony' for the first time, and no matter how stupid he was, he would not fail to see that there must be a connection, but all this can only be speculation, because no matter how much he doubts, he can't verify this.
As a result, he learned to accept reality.
"Alright, the bittersweet memories are over, get up!"
Rorschach shook his head suddenly, as if he wanted to throw the messy thoughts out of his mind.
"Good morning, young master. ”
When Rorschach came out of the room, waiting at the door was a fat old man who was no more than one meter and five meters tall, with a round face, with a kind smile on his face, and a wet towel half-hung on his hand, "Breakfast is ready." ”
The fat old man's name was Heimquis, and he was Rorschach's servant.
Of course, this is how Heimkis himself sees himself.
Three years ago, Rorschach and Heimkis didn't know each other, but because of a coincidence, Rorschach saved Heimqis's life. A few months later, when the fat old man recovered, he had no intention of leaving, but volunteered to stay as Rorschach's servant to repay the favor of saving his life. At first, of course, Rorschach disagreed, because he could see that Heimquis's identity was probably not simple, and it was really strange for this kind of person to be his subordinate.
However, Heimkis eventually used his stubbornness to change Rorschach's decision and stay.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
"You're early, too. Rorschach stretched, said hello as well, and took the towel and wiped his face, "Didn't I say you, Heimquis, what do you do every day, isn't it good to sleep a little longer?" ”
"I'm used to this time, it's not so easy to change. Heimquis shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want. ”
Rorschach knew how stubborn Heimquis was and didn't bother to talk about it.
"What's new today. Rorschach asked as he walked down the aisle to the staircase.
Heimkis followed closely behind Rorschach and muttered, "Just over half an hour ago, a squad of knights came to visit the Earl of Neptune, and the Earl should be receiving them in the reception room of the castle at this moment. ”
"Knights, I don't remember any of Daddy's fiefdoms that could afford to be knights......" Rorschach's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little intriguing.
The Earl of Neptune in Heimquis's mouth is Rorschach's father in this life, a meritorious nobleman of the 'Flame Kingdom', with seven cities in his fiefdom, and his power is enough to rank among the top ten in the 'Flame Kingdom'!
And the reason why Rorschach was surprised by this sudden team of knights was because he could conclude that this team of knights was from outside his own fiefdom. It must be known that although there are some nobles in the fief of Earl Neptune, this is a formed knight squad, not a family private soldier or a kingdom soldier. In this world, knights are not only a symbol of status, but also a sign of great strength!
Anyone who can be called a knight, even with his bare hands, is at least a powerful warrior who can defeat ten with one enemy!
They have their own secret cultivation methods, sprinting to the limits of the human body, and the best of them even have a powerful power that can control a small battle!
As for the formed knight squad, I'm afraid that even Rorschach's father, the Earl of Neptune, may not be able to afford it.
Because the cultivation of any kind of knight requires a large number of resources, if you want to train a knight, the price can make some small nobles bankrupt, as far as Rorschach knows, there are only three knights on the face of his family, namely Hamas, the captain of the guard of Daddy Neptune, Raeder, the guardian of the family treasury, and Martin, the leader of the family's private army.
The formed knight squad is six people, in other words, this knight squad alone is already more powerful than the power that Rorschach's Earl Daddy has on the surface, and it is no wonder that Rorschach is very surprised.
"If I'm not mistaken, this group of knights is supposed to be the 'Army of Spades' belonging to the Flame Royalty. Heimkis muttered.
"If it's them, it seems that something terrible is going on. Rorschach's expression was a little solemn.
As the son of an earl, Rorschach naturally knew many things that ordinary people did not know. For example, this 'Army of Spades' is the most secret legion of the 'Kingdom of the Sun', there is only one brigade in the entire legion, there are three squadrons under the brigade, and there are three squads under each squadron, each squad has six people, plus three squadron leaders and the commander of the 'Army of Spades', a total of fifty-eight people.
Fifty-eight people form a legion, which may sound a little ridiculous.
But no one who knows this legion thinks so, because ...... Every member of this legion is a knight powerhouse, and among them, the nine squad leaders, three squadron leaders, and the legion leader Reilly are the most terrifying!
It is said that the strength possessed by this Captain of Rayleigh is almost inhuman, and his physical strength is even stronger than that of the most brutal Earth Dragon Beast, and ordinary knights can't even hold up a single move in front of this Captain of Rayleigh!
It is precisely because the 'Army of Spades' is so terrible that they will not be dispatched at all under normal circumstances, and they can only be seen when a major incident occurs. Rorschach remembers that the last time he heard of the 'Army of Spades' being dispatched, it was when he was eight years old, and the reason for the dispatch was that a minister of the kingdom had defected and was preparing to defect to the enemy country with a secret treasure of the Flame Royal Family, and the 'Army of Spades' sent a team to chase and kill, and finally not only brought back the secret treasure, but also killed the three knights who came to meet the enemy country in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Rorschach's expression moved slightly, and he beckoned to Heimqueth, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”
"Yes. Heimkis answered.
If there are others, they will probably think that the conversation between the two is a bit ridiculous.
As the son of an earl, Rorschach could only know about the existence of the 'Army of Spades', but Heimquiz was just a mere subordinate, and he knew about the existence of this legion, and could easily tell its origin?
But Rorschach had no doubt about Hemquith's judgment.
Although Rorschach still does not fully understand Heimquis's past, just as Rorschach himself was able to save Heimquis who was already seriously injured from the hands of two extremely powerful knights at the age of thirteen, this is not something that can be explained by the identity of the son of a count.
However, Rorschach is certain that Heimquiz is not the kind of person who likes to talk about it.
Since he said that the person who came was the 'Army of Spades', it was basically eight or nine years old, and judging from the past situation, anything that had anything to do with the 'Army of Spades' was basically nothing good.
"It can't be that my dad who betrayed the Flame Royal......ty, right? Although Daddy still has some power hidden in the shadows, if it is the 'Army of Spades', it is not enough to see at all, as long as a squadron is dispatched, all of Daddy's forces can be erased. Rorschach thought with a frown.
It is of course impossible to say that you are not worried at all.
Although Rorschach has memories of his past life, he has been together for more than ten years, how can he have no feelings.
Rorschach didn't care if he was the son of this count or not, and with the memories of his previous life, he naturally wouldn't have any loyalty to the Flame Royal Family, but he didn't want to see his father do anything unwise.
"Forget it, don't guess, my dad is not stupid, he shouldn't come nonsense. Thinking about it, Rorschach had already walked slowly outside the study, without making a single sound, and listened intently to the movement inside.
