Chapter 2 Quiet Life

No matter what the outside world is, Brian's requirements for himself are absolute peace, and without a quiet heart waiting for strength and awakening, he will inevitably not be able to complete his mission in the future.

He sat in the courtyard of the Viscount's Palace, made a pot of afternoon tea, leaned on the bamboo recliner, and savored life. The camphor tree, with its intriguing aroma, enveloped the courtyard, blocking the sun with its dense foliage, leaving shade for the Viscount. In September, when the heat begins to subside, the wind blows at this time, and there is always a hint of coolness.

The small courtyard was very clean and tidy, a small round flower bed, pansies and Lingxiao flowers are competing to open, and the stone road extends from the gate, around the flower bed, and then leads to the courtyard gate. On both sides of the road, there are manicured bushes. Brian had hoped that the gardener would be able to cut out all kinds of shapes, but the guy knew about the balls and the squares, so he had to go.

Behind the bushes was a green meadow and a small pool, and creepers occupied the eastern wall of the mansion, from the roof to the arcade, and by the corridor there was a row of low houses, a pickling house and a storeroom, and on the west side, a toilet and a stable.

"Everything was fine. Brian exclaimed, grabbed a small piece of his mother's snack, and put it in his mouth.

Who would have imagined that this thriving place, once a terrible battlefield in ancient times, was the research base of the Ronin people, who conducted countless experiments here in order to subdue St. Ossedine, created many incredible species, and St. Ossidine discovered their intentions, and then brought destruction.

According to Estrid, Mr. Thewris finally chose to die with St. Ossedine, luring the monster to arrive, and using the space device to send all the last life that existed to the unknown and distant space, with the aim of not finding St. Ossidine. Let this place, known as the Star of Tula, have time to complete its recovery and create an eighth generation of humanity that can eventually compete with it.

Mr. Hughis succeeded, and St. Ossidine lost the coordinates of the Star of Tula, but he knew very well that only the Star of Tula existed to restrain his life. St. Ossidine began a purposeless expedition and search in the universe, and finally found this place. Occam had realized that this was the former Tula Star, but unfortunately he was subdued by the humans before he could deliver the message.

Brian speculated that if St. Ossidin got the message, he was afraid that he would not hesitate to come here and bring destruction again, then the current dispute on the southern continent, all the efforts of mankind, whether it was building, exploring, thinking and fighting, would immediately become meaningless.

So, when did St. Ossidine find out that the continent of Lukai is the Star of Tula, maybe a year, maybe ten years, in short, it has entered the countdown, will he give himself a chance to grow up?

Dunbar's admonition is not to be melancholy about the unknown that cannot be grasped, but to grasp the resources that can be grasped, and to move forward step by step.

Yes, before the arrival of St. Ossidine, there was to eat, sleep, produce and work, and the enemy came in and had to take up arms to resist.

The new genes gave Brian a magical experience, the benefit of potion 111 was that he didn't have to eat, he would no longer be hungry and thirsty, and after the skin was transformed, he was able to absorb the energy and water needed by his body from the environment, and if it wasn't for gluttony, he could never eat or drink, which greatly enhanced his ability to survive.

Potion No. 104 also brings great benefits, retinal mutations, so that Brian's eyes are like a sensing instrument, sensing life information without obstacles, all living creatures, no matter where they are hidden, what stealth ability they have, can not fool his eyes, including energy and magic fluctuations, can also be accurately detected, the assassin's stealth and hidden magic array, for Brian has no effect.

Brian looked up, although his eyes were not clairvoyant, but he could see how many people were in the building of the Viscount's Palace, probably what they were doing, those human bodies were reflected in his eyes, emitting a reddish light, in which room, in what location, all at a glance.

Mother Doreen, who was in the kitchen with the cook Cumberland, was preparing dinner, and her father, Congree, was lying on the desk in the room writing something, and it was clear that when the news of the apostasy of the Grand Duke of Alik came, the old man was shocked, and he was angry that he could not eat or sleep, and was denouncing the traitor with his teachings, of course, Alik did not feel his anger, but made the ears of the family calloused. Estrid, who was drawing drawings, returned and continued to devote herself to mechanical research, trying to build a steam device, and the girl who had regained many memories became smarter, and Brian felt that she could do anything.

Lilian is not idle, she has just recovered, she is trying to regain her strength in the room, practicing the basic advanced technique of warriors, she thinks that she is behind someone else's back, and no one knows about practicing secretly, but in fact, she is all looked at by Brian, for this ruthless girl, the viscount sincerely admires.

Besimo, a politician poached by Sarina from the Marquis of Isaac, also worked hard in the room, because there were many political opinions to be exchanged, Brian let him live in the mansion temporarily, so that he could communicate at any time, and the middle-aged man, who was scribbling and revising on paper, drafted the first law of the fiefdom.

Sarina's eyes are really vicious, people like Besima are just transcribers in the administrative hall in Isaac, and they are not valued at all, but she discovered them. Besimo was not the kind of real politician, with a glamorous appearance, sharp eloquence and heart-wrenching bearing, from the outward appearance he looked very obscene, like a shady thief, people saw him and had an urge to beat him, and it was lucky to be able to work as a transcriber.

But if you have the patience to listen to Becime's stammering statement and read his obscure articles, you will know that this guy is a giant, and he has a deep understanding of politics, the reconstruction of social structure, and the understanding of human nature, he has unique features, and fits the reality.

Besimo had to meet the Lord, be grateful, and fight day and night, in fact, he also had a grand ideal in his heart, just like Haussmann, to plan a perfect country, but the difference is that Haussmann does not consider reality at all, but simply starts from ideals, Besimo is different, he relies on the existing environment, hoping to make a transition by improving the system.

This is very much in line with Brian's appetite.

The guards at the gate came in to report that Isaac's secret messenger had come to visit and exchange views with the viscount. Brian nodded, motioned for the messenger to come in, and shook his head, he had hoped to use this quiet afternoon to digest the conversation with the two magisters, Swift and Whit, and think about what was going on with the soul.
