Chapter 1: Glerint

Next Chapter

After the wee hours of the morning, the city of hope is bustling, and even in Queens, which is the safest of the city, there are few pedestrians.

According to Greinte's analysis, this is partly due to the fact that there are too many insecurity factors in the transcendent world, and even ordinary people who have not been exposed to transcendent powers have more or less heard many stories of losing their lives due to accidents at night.

On the other hand, because the world has not achieved large-scale electricity use, street lighting at night can only use gas, which is relatively backward.

Retracting his gaze to the bay window, Glerint let out a sigh, still having some trouble sleeping.

"Maybe this is Ye Gong Haolong!"

Glerint sighed under his breath.

"Just to experience the wonders and wonders of the extraordinary world in books and words, I'm quite happy to be there. But if it's the real world...... Well, I can only say that I hope the gods will bless me from dying too miserably. ”

When he was on Earth, his original name was Zhong Jianshu, a newly graduated worker, who usually didn't have many hobbies, mainly reading online articles and playing games.

Recently, he had just finished reading the book "Secrets" with his college roommate.

For the extraordinary ability in the book, he is naturally very yearning, and for the distorted and chaotic rules of the underlying world, Zhong Jianshu can only say that it is too bad.

I don't know why, in today's, no, it's supposed to be yesterday's daytime, Earth's Clock Book replaces Glelint in Queens.

The reason for the use of the word "replace". This is because although he calls himself Gleilint, he is well aware that he is merely receiving and reading Gleilint's memories as a spectator, without any memory fusion.

This also made it difficult for him to adapt to his current status.

Somewhat surprisingly, Gleilynt completely inherited the knowledge of the original book that lived on Earth, and nothing went wrong.

"I don't remember much of the occult in detail, but I'm sure I know the 'starry sky.'"

"This shows that I am involved in a high personality. Which 'Who' wrote it? Or is it something that involves a high-order magical item? ”

Due to the lack of analytical conditions, Greint could not draw results.

In addition, he can only be basically sure that his own state is different from Klein in the original book, because he has read the original book, which is impossible for those "bacon" in the original book.

——————————

For the timeline of this mysterious world, Gleilint judged that it was about half a year before the original protagonist Klein Moretti "came into the world".

The basis for this is that next Thursday, five days later, there will be a seventeenth birthday party for Audrey Hall, the youngest daughter of Count Hall, a powerful nobleman of Beckland, a member of the House of Lords of the Kingdom, and a great banker, and it is now early December.

As a fan of Audrey in the original book, carrying the identity of her male best friend, Glerint is very excited.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of Audrey's birthday in the original book, only the social sense of the coming-of-age ceremony is set at the end of next year.

Of course, next week's birthday party will be private as well.

Glerint received the invitation because of his personal relationship with Audrey, and because of the early death of the Viscount, whose father, Lorenz Mariano, had been a staunch political ally of Count Hall.

After the death of Lorenz Mariano, the "celebrity" of Intis who married her, Shamila Balranta, who was also Glerint's biological mother, remarried back to her home country - the Republic of Intis was much more open than the Kingdom of Rune, and Shamila Balata was originally the only daughter of the Lord.

Glerint can only say that he is quite happy about this, after all, it is very difficult to really regard an "acquaintance" as a real relative, and it is quite easy to show his stuff.

When Lorenz Mariano died, Glerint was only sixteen years old. Isolated and helpless, he was almost single-handedly taken to the title of viscount by Earl Hall, so he can be said to have great respect for this elder.

Unfortunately, Earl Hall was an outsider after all, and it was inconvenient to discipline Glelynt excessively, resulting in the original Viscount being almost talentless, and could only be said to be polite.

"It's not bad, let's just say that he's also a nobleman, much richer than the protagonist of the original book!" Gleilynt complained to himself.

As a viscount with no real power, Glerint's wealth originally came from two main parts. One is 100,000 pounds to be run by the Earl Hall's bank, with an annual income of about 9,000 pounds. The second is the land, pastures and forests worth 120,000 pounds, and the annual rent income is 12,000 pounds.

However, he fully trusted the vision of Earl Hall, so he sold most of his estate in the first two years, retaining only the minimum share necessary to be a nobleman. A total of £220,000 was invested half in the banks and half in the shipping industry. The annual income reached about 21,000 pounds.

The Earl of Hall proved to be very wise and far-sighted, and now Glerint had 250,000 pounds in invested assets, and 2,000 pounds a month.

In addition, he had five estates, two large and three small and medium-sized. There's also this big villa in Queens, two properties in Bridgewood, Hillston, and a small cottage in the West End.

Of course, much of this wealth is difficult to embezzle, and Glerint's real activity is a little less than fifteen thousand pounds.

Although Gleilynt did not consider himself extravagant, it involved the "decency" of the aristocracy, so in fact the consumption was somewhat exaggerated.

Because he lived alone, there were not too many servants.

There was a housekeeper, a valet, a squire, two maids, a washerwoman, a coachman, a gardener, a cook.

……

To be honest, even if Gleilynt was perfectly capable of paying them, he thought it was really too extravagant and unnecessary.

Perhaps poverty limited his imagination, and he thought that even if he needed service, it would be enough to hire two or three servants.

……

Thinking about all these miscellaneous things, Glerint slowly walked into the dream after all.

——————————————

Early in the morning, Gleilynt is woken up by Hash, the valet.

Today was Saturday, and he was going to visit Count Hall to ask how to be extraordinary, which was the set agenda for the servants to send the prayers the previous day.

"Mr. Mariano, would you rather dress more formal or casual?" Hash didn't know what Glerint was trying to do today.

In the past, Glerint's visit to Earl Hall or Audrey was actually more casual, firstly, because he did not inherit the title, but only visited friends as an elder. Second, there is basically nothing serious about it.

However, today Glerint had other plans, so he decided to be a little more formal.

"Formal attire, a little more relaxed, Uncle Hall is not an outsider."

"Yes, Mr. Mariano."

Under the service of the manservant, Glerint finished his breakfast rather uncomfortably.

"For now, it's still about getting familiar with the environment, and I'm definitely going to change this process in the future." Glerint secretly made up his mind.

————————————

In the previous life, well, let's count the previous life, Greint was also a child whose parents divorced.

Such an experience left him with little sense of security in interpersonal interactions, which was the main reason for his desire for extraordinary power.

In addition, after reading the original book, he still has a lot of deeply affected places and a lot of regrets. Maybe God asked him, a person who knows the plot, to come over in the hope of changing something?
