Chapter 2 What could be more unfortunate than this!

The moment Li Yan fainted, a memory that did not belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

It's like a program that doesn't belong to your computer, and it was suddenly loaded in, which made Li Yan's brain almost crash.

Although it didn't crash now, it also made his brain freeze, and he was digesting the information in his brain little by little.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yan woke up, and he felt that there was suddenly a memory in his brain that didn't belong to him at all.

In this memory, his name is Li Yan, born in a family of military generals in the Maise Empire on the Tianyuan Continent, and has served the Maise Empire for three generations, ranking in the high position of a marquis.

But in Li Yan's generation, it has declined, Li Yan is a gentleman, plus his mother died early, and his father has been leading the troops all year round.

He is even more lawless to the extreme, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, but his father is a very protective person and has a heavy army, so no one touches him.

But his father did one thing wrong, he was on the wrong side when the old and new kings of the Maise Empire changed thrones.

The old king of the Maise Empire was the forty-seventh, and he had a total of fifteen princes, of which five could inherit the throne, namely the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, and the thirteenth prince.

Under the laws of the Maise Empire, only children born to the king's empress and concubines were entitled to the throne.

Of course, not all children born to queens and concubines can inherit the throne, only those who have been given the title of grand duke or above.

As soon as a royal person is born, he will have the title of an earl, if he has not made any contributions to the empire, they will be just an earl for the rest of their lives, or an earl without a fief, and only if they have made meritorious deeds, their titles will rise, and the highest will be the prince.

Of course, children like queens and concubines can't have only one earl's title, they are generally made dukes, and then as long as they make a little merit, or just find an excuse casually, they can be promoted to the grand duke, and finally to the prince, so that they can inherit the throne.

The five children of the forty-seventh King of Maise who can inherit the throne are all princes, among which the eldest prince and the fourth prince were born to the queen, the third prince and the seventh prince were born to the concubine Karlin, and the thirteenth prince was born to the concubine Aiweier, and he is also the weakest one, and has not been favored.

People have always believed that the eldest prince was born to the queen, and he is orthodox, and the third prince has always worn a pair of pants with the eldest prince, so many nobles in the empire support the eldest prince to succeed to the throne, and the fourth prince and the seventh prince are in a group, and the seventh prince has the support of the fourth prince, and the voice in the court is also very high.

There are only thirteen princes, the youngest, the weakest, and the most low-key, so no one has been optimistic about him.

And Li Yan's father is the eldest prince's party, which is also normal, because the eldest prince had the highest voice at that time, and the Kalin family was not an old nobleman, they only relied on military merits in Li Yan's grandfather's generation, and rose to the position of marquis step by step.

They wanted to break into the ranks of those old nobles as soon as possible, so he chose to support the eldest prince who was most likely to become king at that time, so that as long as the eldest prince became king, the Karlin family could enter the core of the power of the Macse Empire and become a truly recognized nobleman in the empire.

You must know that on the mainland, the nobility of any king is divided into two kinds, one is the old noble, the other is the new noble, the gap between the old and new nobles is obvious, the new aristocracy will generally be regarded as a nouveau riche, will not be recognized by the old nobles, and will not be able to enter the core of the country's power.

After so many years of development on the mainland, the role played by the aristocracy in a country is very huge, and in some cases, they can even influence the rise and fall of a country.

Especially those veteran aristocrats who have developed for thousands of years and dozens of generations are a force in the empire that even the imperial power is afraid of.

It can be said that those old nobles are the core of power in the entire empire, and any new nobles want their approval.

If you want to be recognized by those old nobles, you naturally have to have the corresponding strength, and the speed at which the Carlin family dug up is too fast, this is the way that several old kings of the Maise family came up with to deal with those old nobles.

But since the death of the forty-sixth king, the life of the Carlin family has not been easy, the new king wants to promote them, but the old nobles want to suppress them, so they can only keep supporting the new king in order to make the family develop.

But Li Yan's father was on the wrong side, he supported the most popular prince, but in the end he did not become king.

On the contrary, the thirteenth prince, who was the most low-key and looked the weakest, became the king, the eldest prince was given death, and the eldest prince's party did not end well.

Li Yan's father was also sent to prison with an excuse, and then died in prison for no apparent reason.

And the bad things that Li Yan had done before were also revealed, but because of Zhao Lin's existence, the empire was also afraid that a few eighth-level powerhouses would find trouble with them, and in addition to the new emperor's succession, they also had to show a little more belly.

So they dealt with Li Yan lightly, downgraded the title of marquis that Li Yan should have inherited to a viscount, and replaced their family's originally fertile fiefdom with the Loess Plateau, and Li Yan was fed the water of nothingness and became a complete waste.

Even if the nobles have a fief, they will hand it over to the steward or someone they trust to manage, although the fief is their foundation, but they will stay in the imperial capital in order to pay attention to any changes that occur in the empire, those that are beneficial to the family, and those that are not conducive to the family.

But Li Yan and the others are not, after they were changed by the king, they were ordered to leave the imperial capital within three days, and they were not allowed to leave the fief for the next three years, which was unprecedented in all families.

And the current king of the Maise Empire, the former thirteenth prince Zhang Tie, wants to treat the Karlin family like this, firstly, because the Karlin family is the eldest prince's party, and secondly, because of the pressure of those old nobles.

Now that he has just ascended the throne, of course he has to suppress the eldest prince and the seventh prince party with all his might, but he doesn't dare to move those big nobles, and those old nobles don't like the Carlin family, so they naturally put pressure on Zhang Tie on the side, so Zhang Tie will have such a decision.

The reason why Li Yan was given the water of nothingness was because of an ancestral Dou Qi cultivation method of the Kalin family, the Crazy Dragon Dou Qi.

This kind of vindictive cultivation method is very famous on the mainland, and it was obtained by Li Yan's grandfather by accident.

His cultivation speed is three times faster than that of ordinary Dou Qi Gong Techniques, and his attack power is also very strong, and he has always been the top Dou Qi cultivation method coveted by the major families of the empire.

If Li Yan really learned the Crazy Dragon Fighting Qi and remembered today's hatred, it would be a threat to those big nobles and royal families, so Zhang Tie gave Li Yan a drink of the water of nothingness.

And the reason why Zhang Tie didn't kill Li Yan, in addition to the reasons mentioned earlier, there is another reason, that is, Zhao Lin dedicated this set of cultivation methods to Zhang Tie, and also swore a poisonous oath that in the future, the people of the Kalin family will no longer practice the Crazy Dragon Fighting Qi, so Zhang Tie let Li Yan go.

Of course, Zhao Lin did not dedicate this set of exercises to Zhang Tie openly, he entered the palace at night, found Zhang Tie, and then offered the exercises.

This is done to intercede for Li Yan, and second, to let Zhang Tie know his strength, so that Zhang Tie can sanitize the idea of killing Li Yan.

Zhang Tie was really afraid that a master like Zhao Lin would find trouble with him, so he agreed to Zhao Lin's request, but only lowered Li Yan's title and changed the fief, and did not ask for Li Yan's life.

Zhao Lin also agreed, he knew very well that although his strength was not weak, the strength of the royal family was also very strong.

The reason why he was able to enter the palace unconsciously was because he was very familiar with the situation in the palace, and secondly, because the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the palace had undergone a major reshuffle, and his strength was still a little weak.

The reason why Zhao Lin didn't save Li Yan's father before was because he thought that Zhang Tie would not kill Li Yan's father, anyway, Li Yan's father was also a bargaining chip used by the royal family to deal with those old nobles, and the royal family should not give it up easily.

But they didn't expect that the reason why Zhang Tie could become king was because of the support of those old nobles.

So after he ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to curry favor with those old nobles, so he killed Li Yan's father.

By the time Zhao Lin knew the news, Li Yan's father had already died, and Zhao Lin had to find a way to protect Li Yan, the last bloodline of the Kalin family.

And the reason why he handed over the cultivation method of the Crazy Dragon Fighting Qi was also because of the Void Water.

The reason why the water of nothingness has become the supreme magic weapon on the continent is not only because it can make people unable to practice magic and fighting qi, but more domineeringly, this situation will continue to his children and grandchildren.

In other words, as long as you drink the water of nothingness, your children and grandchildren will not be able to learn magic and fighting spirit, and this will not end until ten generations later.

But that's a whole ten generations, and ten generations can't learn magic and fighting spirit, what will become of them then?

At that time, whether this family still exists or not, whether it can be continued to the tenth generation, these are all unknowns, this is the terrible thing about the water of nothingness, and it is also the reason why Zhao Lin handed over the mad dragon fighting spirit.

Li Yan and the ten generations of the Kalin family after Li Yan have no way to learn the Crazy Dragon Fighting Qi, so what's the use of keeping this thing?

It's better to hand it over in exchange for Li Yan's life, so Zhao Lin will not hesitate to hand over the Crazy Dragon Fighting Qi.

And it turned out that he did exactly the right thing, if he didn't hand over the Crazy Dragon Fighting Qi, I am afraid that Li Yan would not be able to leave the imperial capital alive.

But I don't know if someone did something in the water of nothingness, or if Li Yan himself was guilty of the water of nothingness, anyway, after drinking the water of nothingness, Li Yan fainted, and he didn't wake up until the fiefdom.

By the time he woke up, he had already changed from the gentleman Li Yan to the earth otaku Li Yan.
