Chapter 2 Something is better than nothing
85_85536 "This can't be the case in the future. William secretly reminded himself in his heart. While swearing secretly, he ate hot porridge.
"You just eat like that, and listen to what I say. Baron Otto, sitting beside William's bed, said to him.
"Yes, Father. William nodded, instinctively stopped eating porridge, and looked at the baron. He didn't continue until the baron motioned him with his eyes to continue.
"You were too careless this time. I didn't learn to ride a horse, so I dared to run so fast. Thankfully, nothing happened. Otherwise, how will you let me see your mother after I die?" the baron sighed at first, and then smiled reluctantly: "Forget it, I won't say this for the time being. Anyway, it's okay to hurt a little. You're going to be at home for the next few days. Miss Elise's picnic, you don't want to go to it. ”
What Baron Otto said was the reason why William fell from his horse before. It was from Plock, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, from a countess, Elise von Trieste. The Countess was fourteen years old and had a very unique appearance. Both the appearance and demeanor are quite attractive.
She had been a guest at the home of her uncle, Baron Korno, Baron Hereford's neighbour. As a result, as soon as William saw her, he liked her. The fourteen-year-old eldest child, who is in love for the first time, makes a lot of jokes that he doesn't understand.
Like this time, when he heard that Miss Elise was going to hold a party for hunting and wild trips, he hurried over. And in order to arrive a little earlier, he rode a fast horse because he didn't know much about riding. In the end, he fell and almost died. The version number has only been raised to 2. 47's.
Baron Otto felt sorry for his son and did not want him to make a fool of himself in front of others. So I don't want William to rush over. But he couldn't bear to go against William's wishes, and he didn't want to force William not to pass. He was conflicted. It just so happened that this time William fell off his horse. Although it is said that after the priest has been treated with holy light, there is nothing to do. But good is a reason. He took advantage of the situation and gave words of advice, persuading William not to go.
To Baron Otto's surprise, William did not hesitate and directly agreed to his words:
"Well, if you don't go, you won't go. A group of children play house. One or two don't even have official knightly qualifications, but they all think they are great people. I feel upset when I see it. William nodded, and subconsciously said what was in his heart.
......
Hearing William say this, Baron Otto was stunned for a moment. It was only then that William realized that he had said the wrong thing. Although he said that he had no problem, after all, what was dominant now was the thinking of Zhao Hong, a military cadet in his previous life. The contrast with the old version of William is too great. If the baron misunderstands that his son has been dropped or something, it will be a big problem.
William thought so, and immediately deliberately made a look of being wronged. Baron Otto understood after reading it. His son said this on purpose, and he was angry. Actually, I still want to go.
"That's right. Baron Otto, thinking he understood his son's thoughts, smiled again: "Then are you going or not?"
"Don't go...... Let's go for it. William pretended to be reluctant to move, and then persuaded: "In any case, they are the children of nobles who belong to the same Grand Duchy of Mazovia as we do." Father, you are a baron with a title, and you are an elder, and if you don't accompany them, you won't accompany them. But if I don't go, others will say that it will be a faux pas for our Hereford family. So...... I'd better give it a trip. ”
Baron Otto was both happy and sad to hear him say this. Happily, the child's words make sense. Sadly, he didn't believe William had gone for that reason alone. At the end of the day, he's still for that Miss Elise. William, this kid usually doesn't think so much, but for the sake of this girl, he insisted on saying such a reason. This, this, this......
After thinking about it, Baron Otto had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay, let's go tomorrow." Tomorrow, I want Konstantin to accompany you. ”
"Uncle Konstantin...... Not good. William was shocked when he heard this. That Konstantin was his father's right-hand man and captain of the guard. It also has the strength of a great knight. The baron could not do without him for almost a day. How can you take him away for such a trivial matter? That's too unusual.
"I'll just go with John. ”
"No, I can't. John had a bad brain. The baron shook his head: "This time he followed you and this kind of thing, it's already good that he didn't punish him." Listen to me, and be sure to let Konstantin go with you. ”
"But that would be a shame, father! If I bring Uncle Constantine, who is a great knight, with me, they will definitely look down on me!" said William.
"Then don't go. ”
"No, you have to go!"
In the end, as usual, the baron was unable to overcome his son. had no choice but to agree to his conditions. After the father and son had finished speaking, Baron Hereford finally said, "You have a good rest." And he took the empty bowl and went away. William was left alone on the bed.
"What's going on. William rested his head on the back of his hand, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He really didn't want to go to this hunting party. The girl, Elise von Trieste, wasn't interested either.
He's just had something like this happening to him right now. I want to sort out my thoughts, see what I should do in the future, how I can live well in this world, help my father, revitalize the family, and get ahead. How do you have the kung fu to mix with these children's things?
If you really want it, she will be knocked out and dragged into the grass by the roadside, and she will be buried in a pit in two hours. It's inexplicable.
"Forget it, just this once, not for example. "William 2. 47 thought to himself, and then closed his eyes. Ready for bed.
The next moment, he opened his eyes again and sat up from the bed with a grunt.
Because after he closed his eyes, just when he sank down and wanted to sleep, he felt that his surroundings had become different. A screen appeared in front of him, and around the screen, there were rows and rows of cabinets. On the front rows of cabinets are balls of light, which are distinguished and different according to their categories. One of the columns reads "Diary", another says "Martial Arts", and the third has "Knowledge".
When William opened his eyes, the screen, the cabinet and the ball of light were all gone, and with the help of the soft moonlight outside the window, William found himself still in his bedroom, as if he had not moved the whole time.
"This ...... What's going on?" William thought it strange at once. He closed his eyes again, thinking about this in his heart, and found that in his consciousness, the screen, the cabinet and the ball of light on the cabinet appeared again. William looked at it himself, and found that the three inventory slots containing the balls of light were divided into several layers, and labels were written on them in turn.
The diary column is divided into 1 to 10 years old, 10 to 20 years old, 20 to 30 years old, and so on. There are a total of ten balls of light in the column from one to ten years old. In the 10-20 age range, there are only four.
William understood that a ball of light represents a year.
"But shouldn't the diary be one day at a time, and why a year?"
As soon as William's thoughts arose, he saw that in front of the "fourteen-year-old" ball of light he had just stared at had an extra cabinet out of thin air, on which were five slightly smaller balls of light, from January to May.
William was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, he tried to control it with his consciousness again, and there was immediately an extra item cabinet in front of the light ball of "May", on which were placed fourteen smaller balls of light, representing the fourteen days that had passed in May.
"What would happen if I chose one or the other?" William thought, focusing his mind on Ball Fourteen - and then the ball of light vanished.
Before William could be surprised, the screen lit up. Then the screen plays as fast as if you had pressed the fast-forward button. In just one minute, everything that William experienced on this day was replayed.
It stands to reason that with everything that happened throughout the day like this, squeezed into a minute, William shouldn't have seen anything but the fast-moving dots and rays of light. But in reality, this is not the case.
William "looked" very clearly. Or "feeling" is very clear. All the things that had passed all day today, getting up, washing, having breakfast, going out in a hurry, falling off a horse, falling unconscious, waking up, falling unconscious, waking up again, and then a conversation with Baron Otto.
This qiē was clearly passed through in William's mind, and it was clear and clear. It was as if William had gone through it all over again.
"This ......" William was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two cabinets next to him and took a cursory look. Martial arts are what he learned from military academies and the army in his previous life. Including tactical weapon operation, tactical movements, hand-to-hand combat techniques of the army, and cold weapon combat techniques. In addition, there are a few loose hands that I have collected everywhere.
In terms of knowledge, it is all the knowledge he learned from school and military academies for nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school and three years of military cadet. and some knowledge books that he usually reads.
Whether it's martial arts or knowledge, these two can be like a "diary", which can be browsed at a very fast speed, relearned and enhanced memory.
"This is simply ...... If I had such a thing in my last life, who would have stayed up late to read before the exam!" William was in a slump. Immediately after, he thought of another thing. After thinking of "leaving", the consciousness reopened its eyes and returned to reality.
He intends to do a series of realizations to test the specific effects and other uses of this new special function of his.
The first is time, William has his pocket watch on his bedside table. After looking at the time, he was in that special state again. After five minutes of mental arithmetic inside, I left, and then looked at the pocket watch, and the hands on it showed that the time had also passed five minutes.
"Time flows at the same speed. William was slightly disappointed in his heart, and then he looked around again, looking at his room by the faint moonlight, thinking wildly about the structure of this room, the structure, the materials, the decoration and so on. After that, close your eyes.
Upon returning to the unknown space, William found that there was another one next to the original three-column cabinet, with a label that read "Unclassified". What is shown on the screen is the scene of watching his room indiscriminately.
"Is that all?" Seeing this scene, William was even more disappointed. But then, he realized that something was wrong. Because this time, the speed of screen playback is much slower than before. It used to be a super-fast fast-forward, but this time it's a normal speed.
And when this scene was finished, William found that the "unclassified" cabinet was empty. There seems to be something more in my consciousness. Following his conscious perception, he pulled out a few new balls of light from the cabinet of "knowledge". The balls of light had labels written on them:
The interior of Hereford Castle.
Analysis of the interior decoration of William's room.
The process of making pocket watches and how they work.
"Sure enough, it can process and sort out useful information from my perception!" William, who had obtained such a result, suddenly became very excited. With the help of this device, he was able to master the maximum amount of knowledge and ability in the shortest possible time.
And this knowledge and ability will naturally be able to grow and grow in this world in the shortest possible time. In this way, grasp and control your own destiny, and even the world.
