"...where is this?"

When the fortress garrison commander, the blond knight Zolgen, woke up from the black wood relief hard bed in his home, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel uncomfortable all over, his body was extremely weak, and his whole body seemed to be hollowed out.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were blurry. Now, Zolgen felt as if he was still on the battlefield against the wild beast.

Recalling it for a moment, the sound of extremely cold wind and furious roars of beasts appeared in his ears again. The crazy giant beasts attacked the city wall again and again, trampling on its ruins, while the black beasts rushed towards the city. Go, like a torrent that cannot be stopped.

This scene made the knight feel a burst of despair from the bottom of his heart, but he was not a fool after all, and he immediately reacted. If the situation really developed like this, how could he still be lying on his bed well now

"I'm actually alive, and I woke up from the coma where fighting spirit broke out. It seems that the battle is over long ago."

After mocking himself in a low voice, Zolgen looked sideways at the golden sunlight coming in from the window. The golden beam of light shone on the bedside table beside the bed, and dust could be seen flying in it. He suddenly thought: "Yes, it is. Master Joshua.”

When the giant beast broke through the city wall, Zolgen was confused and fell into a semi-conscious state due to the excessive burst of fighting energy. However, he could still sense a huge force falling from the sky and quickly killed the giant beast. , and the only one with this strength is undoubtedly the new gold-level lord of Moldavia.

He covered his head with one hand and supported the bed with the other. Even though he was awake, the blond knight still felt a little dizzy. He tried to sit up from the bed, but a violent numbness and pain suddenly hit his whole body - especially the internal organs in his body. Now every time he sucked When you breathe or swallow a mouthful of saliva, you can feel a throbbing pain like the passage of electricity.

"The excessive damage to the internal organs should be the sequelae of my last burst of grudge."

Suppressing the discomfort, Zolgen slowly sat up. He was now wearing pajamas, and his wound was tightly bandaged. It seemed that the medical staff even gave him a bath.

"This time it's much better than before."

The knight had suffered similar serious injuries and fell into a coma before, but no matter what, he was basically naked when he was sent home after medical treatment. Unexpectedly, he was so considerate this time and even put some clothes on for him.

As for this injury, the knight has long been used to it.

Dou Qi is the combination of will and body. It is the dual manifestation of life in both material and spiritual aspects. The explosion of Dou Qi is equivalent to extremely squeezing one's own body and spirit, and the most powerful power bursts out from the smallest parts of the body. This technique is very simple. , it is nothing more than removing the protection of one's own body, and even mercenaries on the roadside can do it. However, due to the powerful side effects, almost no one will use it easily except at the moment of life and death.

But as soldiers who stay on the front line every year, they encounter life and death situations more times than anyone else. Although an outbreak of fighting spirit will cause weakness for half a month to three months, it is definitely better than dying on the spot, Zor Gen Shen believed that this was not the first time he had done this. Although the hidden injuries made it difficult for him to break through to the golden realm, if he did not do this, he would not even live to be forty years old.

In the past, Zolgen had heard the old lord say that there was some kind of special breathing method that could make fighting energy explode in an instant. It had no side effects and could also hone the body's adaptability. But obviously, this must be some kind of unique breathing method. It is very difficult for even the old earl to obtain the top-secret skills that are not spread to outsiders, let alone him.

"My strength is still too weak... If I can break through the golden barrier and advance to the realm of glory, then this black tide will not be so dangerous. As a minister, I cannot share the worries of the Lord, but I have to let the Lord come in person. It’s really a huge shame to save the scene.”

Standing up unsteadily, the blond middle-aged knight sighed, then walked out of the bedroom and came to the hall.

This is a hall with a strong military style. The huge white bear head retains its ferocious face in life. It is hung above the dusty fireplace. In the sunlight coming from the window, a long shadow is cast, and the corner of the wall can be seen. There are tools and bottles for maintaining weapons everywhere. Two or three chairs were scattered around the table on the left, as if someone had sat here for a while and then left after forgetting to pack them away.

In the Black Forest Fortress, every warrior has his own house. Those with wives and children naturally live together, but most of the houses are occupied by single warriors. As the garrison commander of the fortress, Zolgen naturally owns a large property. However, he is now forty-three years old and has not yet married a wife. Therefore, this single-family double-story building unfortunately does not have a daughter of his own. Master, of course there is no one to deal with.

He walked to the table, took a cup and poured some water to drink. Since the fireplace had not been lit yet, the temperature in the house was very low. Although the water in the pot had not frozen yet, it was still refreshing, but Zolgen This was what he needed. With the stimulation brought by the ice water, his brain was finally fully activated and he stopped shaking when he walked.

But at this moment, the sound of ice and snow being trampled came from outside the door. Before the knight could turn his head, he only heard the click of the key in the hole, and the door was opened.

Holding the key in hand, a white-haired mage and a masked warrior dressed in leather jackets appeared in front of Zolgen.

"...Close the door quickly! You guys who come in without knocking."

The cold wind of minus 20 degrees outside the door blew, and even the silver-level knight couldn't help but shudder. Zolgen almost growled: "And please explain, how do you have the key to my house?! "

"Don't be angry, my friend. You have been in a coma for three days. We can come in without the key. How do we expect you to open the door?"

Feng closed the door smoothly, then shook his head. He touched his snow-white beard and said: "There are too many injured people and there are not enough beds in the medical room, so we can only send you back to your home for rest. For this, you should thank us for bringing you there." You carried it over."

"...Then should I still thank you for your visit now?"

"I'm just visiting you."

Killy, who was standing aside, was still wearing a hooded helmet, even without armor. He shrugged and said, "Who cares about an old man like you? It's just a letter sent from the bell tower communication array, signed It's Scarlet from Moldova. The Scarlet family is an earl family similar to the Radcliffe family. I think this matter is of great importance and it is necessary to call you together. The three of us will go to see the lord and report. situation, and then send this letter.”

—Tower meeting room.

Joshua was sitting in the conference room in the tower, frowning as if he was recalling something. There was a black-covered notebook in front of him, with a lot of things already written on it.

Due to the revolutionary improvement of papermaking technology made by halflings thirty years ago, clean and tidy paper is no longer cherished. Even the newspaper industry has developed. A notebook like this can be purchased for only two silver coins. Common people All can afford it.

Now, the warrior is recalling and summarizing as much information as possible about the Northland Empire.

Unlike other human gathering places, the Northern Empire was a political force with a very simple structure.

There are many large and small countries in the eastern plains and western mountains. They are fighting against each other and are always engaged in melee. The complex situation is enough to make a hundred-person staff burn their heads, and the overt and covert fighting among the members of the Far South Parliament is even more intense. It consumes IQ.

Unlike them, there are only three powers in the vast northern land - the royal family, the nobility and the church.

Naturally, the royal family does not need to say much. The emperor's strength is one part, and the central army and the five directly affiliated elite legions are another part.

The nobility is a little more complicated. The number of nobles canonized by the empire is the smallest in the entire disputed continent. From baron to duke, the total number does not even exceed a hundred. This number can only be said to be incredible, because even some comparisons in the eastern plains Larger kingdoms have more nobles than this, but contrary to this number, each noble has considerable power.

Because of the Black Tide and various scattered warcraft, the empire has very broad restrictions on private soldiers. For example, in Moldavia, a mere earldom has nearly a hundred knights, thousands of private soldiers, and can even build fortresses on the border. , this can be regarded as a small country in the eastern plains, and the private soldiers of several dukes have qualities comparable to those of the central army of the empire.

The Church of the Seven Gods has the support of the people, but in this era when the gods are silent and do not interfere in the world, they basically never speak, and most of the time they are silent spectators.

This is some information that Joshua roughly knows. The memory of his previous life and the education he received in this life allow him to remember the surnames and coats of arms of every great noble in the empire, as well as a rough division of factions and basic common sense of folk customs. , but that’s all.

Compared to his profound and detailed understanding of the Far South, this thing can only be called better than nothing.

"I can only recall these, and I don't know anything about the distribution of Warcraft and various dragon beasts. It seems that I can only ask Feng and Jili later where there are chaos attribute monsters around here."

Sighing, although Joshua is a hardcore player in the game Continent of Disputes, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. As the leader of the largest war group in the Far South, he does know a lot of information that ordinary people cannot get, but this It does not mean that Joshua can learn information about monsters in other areas across servers.

Look at the system.

"Professional mission... Although the wild beasts and behemoths infected by the Mad Dragon Virus may seem crazy, they are just because of their madness and are not considered chaotic attributes at all."

He murmured: "Besides the devil, what other chaotic monster is there?"

I recommend a friend’s book, "The Spiral Seat" by Qidian.

I don't know how to write pretentious plots at all, thanks to him teaching me...

I went to the driving school this afternoon and forgot to post it. I almost didn’t make it home in time...
