With his sharp eyes, Werther could tell with a single glance that the young man had a hint of a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he was mocking the commoners who dared to stand on the road. Sometimes, he would even personally pick up a horsewhip and swing it at a passerby. Werther clenched his fists and resisted the urge to trample on him.
In his previous life, he was a cultivator. Although the Taoists' goal was to be quiet and do nothing, it was not heartless. On the contrary, he was like the Buddhists, actively encouraging their disciples to enter the world to cultivate. The Taoists emphasized the unity of man and heaven, and the Heavenly Dao was humanity. They had a heartfelt admiration and respect for everything and everything. Being one with everything was the same as being the same as being the same as being the same as being the same as as being the same as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as. If he were to meet this young man in his previous life, he would have immediately broken both his legs to show his punishment. "Now that no one had lost their life and their cultivation was lacking, if they were to cause trouble, it would be inconvenient for them to use their eyes to look at Hobbes.
Hobbes saw the look in his eyes and smiled. "This young man is Count Jacobi, grandson of the current Emperor of the Kreen Empire. Klein VII had two sons, the eldest son was Crown Prince Schroeder, who was thirty-five years old and had a daughter and a son. His eldest daughter was Catherine, a genius in magic. Second Prince Zint had given birth to a son, and that was him. "This Count is rather impatient and has a poor reputation within the imperial city. This isn't the first time he has had such a collision."
He then looked at Werther's eyes and smiled. "Does Young Master want me to teach him a lesson?" In this world, the distinction between commoners and nobles is very serious. The privileged class stands above the commoners. If I were to go up and teach this Count a lesson, he would probably be cut into pieces by the Royal Knights. "
A light flickered in Werther's eyes. "Nobles and commoners?" This world is really backward. The citizens' wisdom has not been opened yet! " Hobbes pointed at the civilians who were knocked down and said, "Look, although those civilians have been bullied, they do not resent you. Just look at their eyes and you will know." Werther took a careful look, and sure enough, very few people showed their anger or scolded loudly after those commoners got up. On the contrary, they looked as if they were supposed to, and even the way they looked at that teenager was somewhat passionate.
"Young master, this is the first time I'm coming to the capital to teach you a lesson, nobles and commoners. You have to think about the difference, should you continue to integrate with the nobles, or …" Hobbes did not finish, but pulled him into the city. The further south they went, the fewer people there were. Hobbes explained that this was the gathering place for the officials of the nobility. Not to mention the commoners, even the wealthy merchants would not be able to come here without the title of nobility. The circle of nobles was like a magical barrier of the highest rank. They would only welcome people of the same rank and automatically reject others.
This house was not too big, and it just happened to match James' status as a new Viscount. Hobbes raised his hand and knocked on the door, and a servant walked out. After looking at the Viscount's letter and knowing that it was his young master and butler, he hurriedly bowed and invited the two in. As he walked, he introduced them, "It is unfortunate that young master and butler came. Three days ago, my lord accepted the award from His Majesty and was conferred the title of a military staff officer. Today is the very first day that I will take up my position. This little one will first bring Young Master and the butler to rest.
It was said that it was a gift from the king. The previous owner was also a viscount, but it seemed like he had been involved in a big incident where his entire family was exterminated. This house was confiscated by the royal family and given to the Roland family instead. He took a comfortable bath in his own room before sitting cross-legged on his bed. His five hearts faced the sky as he circulated his zhenqi through his bloodstream, clearing his vital energy and blood.
After an hour, the tiredness of a month's carriage had all been swept away and he sat on the bed in a daze, "Now that my Zhen Qi is getting thicker and thicker, I will be able to open up the Small Revitalizing and Governing Meridians in a few months. Information Officer? This position is very risky. " The political system of the Kreen Empire was divided into two positions of Minister of the Left and Minister of the Right. The Minister of the Right was responsible for the political affairs of the country and assisting the King in governing the country. The Minister of the Right, together with the Minister of Finance, is generally responsible for the running of the country's economy.
In addition, the empire had established a military department to command the huge army and handle the affairs of the country, such as war. The Board of War was a colossus, and in terms of size, it was no longer under the control of the cabinet. The highest ranking officer in the military department was called the Military Secretary, and he was usually given the title of Duke. The current minister of war was Duke Emerald, who was in his sixties and had been in the battlefield for many years. The third generation of the Lundas had taken control of the military, a huge war machine. They grew up together with the current Emperor of Klein VII.
Werther knew the structure of the empire's military, and the Counsellor Officer could only be considered a second-rate officer in the military department, responsible for some daily logistics work, and would be incorporated into the General Staff to advise on the conduct of the war. Logically speaking, this position was a typical position of contributing but not fawning for the conduct of the war, if the battle was won, then the credit would naturally fall onto the head of the army. If they lost, the first person they would have to take the knife from the General Staff Department.
However, over the years, many people still wanted to snatch this position. There was only one reason. Although the authority of an information officer was not great, one of the most important reasons was that they were able to freely enter and exit the palace without any restrictions or punishment. To see the Emperor! "If we can get to know each other in front of the emperor, our career as an official in the future will undoubtedly rise to new heights." What did the emperor really think of his father getting such a position? Could it be that we have to turn the Roland family into the Emperor's eyes, ears, and private troops? " After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the twists and turns of the upper echelons of the authority. He decided to just lie down and take a nap.
In the evening, the servants came to wake Werther up. The viscount had returned, and the father and son were sitting at a small table, having dinner. Looking at his beloved son eating mouthful after mouthful, James felt touched. He took a sip of wine and asked softly, "I heard from Hobbes that you often train by yourself, right?"
Werther put down his knife and fork, touched his mouth, and said, "Yes, I want to try and see if I can cultivate warrior power." You're still too young, and have just woken up. It's better that you don't work too hard. I've already planned for you to cultivate a long time ago, you don't have to worry. " "Father, I've read a lot of ancient books at home, and I've also found some ways to cultivate dou qi. I've never stopped diligently practicing, but my body can never produce dou qi, why is that?"
James' gaze clearly dimmed down, "The cause of this matter was me. It did not only affect your physique, it also affected how you have been acting foolishly these past few years. Back then... "Well, forget it, I'll tell you when you're an adult." Werther heaved a sigh of relief. He had always been afraid that his' soberness' would arouse suspicion, so it wouldn't be hard to find out that the inside of this small body was actually a mature soul from another world. From what his father had said, his body seemed to be a little special.
"No wonder I suddenly woke up and became no different from an ordinary person. No one doubted that there was a reason." James then said, "Don't worry about this. I'll use props to test your talent in a couple of days, then customize a set of cultivation methods based on your talent." He smiled proudly, "Even if you are the legendary cripple of the Demon Martial Arts, who is unable to sense magic or dou qi, I still have a way to make you a Dou Sheng. After all, the power of wisdom is limitless." The power of wisdom is limitless. " After he finished his dinner, he went back to his room to rest.
"James gently waved the wine in his hand, and Hobbes walked out from the shadows. The dim light from the lamp accentuated his slender figure, like a specter of the dead of night." "He encountered an assassination on the way?" Yes, two people, one assassin and one archmage, the reward is five thousand gold coins. " James' eyes reflected the dim light as he said, "Five thousand gold coins for my son's life is too cheap. How are your injuries? " Hobbes lowered his head. "If it wasn't for me …"
James waved his hand. "No need to apologize. That teacher of yours is really strong. He actually used the Undead Curse. If not … Sigh, it must have been a tough child. But just as he said, it will return to normal after a few years, so it's not a bad thing. " "Master," said Hobbes, "He is here to capture me and bring me back to the Dark Council. He will definitely come again. If he does …" "That way, you don't have to worry. My strength is already incomparable to before, and there's even a lot of powerful helpers. If he dares to come, hmph, Werther's debt just happens to fall on him."
"Then the young miss, she …"
"You don't need to worry about that."
"Yes sir!"
"How is Werther's cultivation going?"
"Young master is very smart. Just by reading books, he has already comprehended a method to cultivate battle qi. However, there are no signs of the battle qi in his body awakening. I'm afraid that the battle qi passageway has been damaged."
