When all the guests left, everything fell silent.

The colorful lights inside and outside the Meccaden manor have been extinguished. Under the command of the butler, the servants covered the expensive and amazingly expensive lanterns with waterproof covers coated with slime glue. The next time these colorful lights are seen again, it will be the autumn harvest festival in the autumn equinox.

It’s not that the McGarden family can’t afford those lamps. They don’t have to pay enough money by lighting the lanterns a month and twelve months a year. The reason is that the family motto of this family is “fostering the family”.

More than three hundred years ago, humans in the east of the mainland fought a gorgeous and tragic war with the demons in the west.

In the early stage of the war, the human army sang triumphant songs again led by brave men summoned from a place called Japan in another world. The human coalition not only destroyed a large number of demon troops, but also a team of brave men infiltrated the Demon Imperial City to kill the Emperor Ivan, the Demon Emperor in the palace.

However, just as the Human Coalition thought the war was about to win and everyone was about to go home with the spoils to celebrate the New Year, destruction came.

Princess Ekaterina, the demon clan who has been traveling as an adventurer in the east of the mainland, sneaked back to the Demonic Emperor City to ascend the throne after receiving the news of her father's death.

Meanwhile, a bombshell exploded on the territory of human beings. It is known as the "Moving Large Library" and the "Walking Spring of Wisdom". At the same time, Philip, the great sage who served as the two ranks of the Harvest Temple Saint and the Forging Temple Saint, defected and followed the teammate of the Adventurers team, Ekaterina, to join the demons.

The captain of their Adventurer Squad, Victoria, who was the elf princess at the time, rode her dragon and chased the two of them until the other party received the support from a team of demon troops.

After ascending the throne, Empress Catherine gathered the defeated troops in a short time and assembled a powerful cavalry unit. Then, using the tactic of "just a few ways, I will only go all the way" to concentrate its forces and eliminate the human army that had already divided its troops in the demon territory with local military strength.

The human army, which instantly changed from a big victory to a big defeat, had to temporarily withdraw from the demon clan's territory to wait for a comeback.

The demons also took this opportunity to lick their wounds and prepare for the next battle.

The brief peace lasted only ten years.

Ten years later, the war rekindled, and the armies of both sides took the Lin Hai, who now cut off the demons and human territories in the central part of the mainland.

After three years of war, the two sides gathered their last strength to launch a final decisive battle in the middle of the forest.

The war lasted for five days and five nights, and the blood made the earth muddy.

Just when Caterina thought she was about to win the final victory, Philip, the great sage who had been lurking beside her, jumped back and died with the exhausted Caterina with one blow.

In this blow, the power of the God of Harvest and the God of Forging broke through the sky. The gold color like the ears of harvest and the red color of the furnace fire was intertwined, and the blending column of light was clearly visible dozens of kilometers away.

Afterwards, only the elf Queen Victoria returned to the battlefield alone. It was she who brought the great sage Philip to sleep in firewood and hide behind enemy lines for more than ten years, and brought back the human world to the assassination of the Demon Queen at the last moment.

Two years later, a team of elves guards brought a child in their teens to the edge of the maple forest and supported him to establish the Earl's Corps here.

"This 'low-key and thrifty family' written by the Elf Queen is the family motto left to us by our ancestors and the great sage Philip." After telling the story to Charles, Earl McGarden said, pointing to a piece of quaint parchment hanging on the study.

The parchment paper is mounted in a wooden frame that exudes a lot of magical energy, and is still well preserved for more than three hundred years. The handwriting on it cannot tell the beauty of the female handwriting, but instead it shows the sharpness of a knife and axe.

"Maybe when the Elf Queen was writing, she thought of her deceased comrades and her heart was filled with hatred for the enemy." Charles thought as she looked at the words on the parchment.

"So who was the mother of the first Earl of McGarden?" Charles found that a key figure was missing from his father's story.

"It is said to be a female adventurer." Earl McGarden said in a quick speech. "I heard that one day our great sage ancestors drank too much, and you will understand when you grow up."

"She sacrificed her to defend her home in later wars, and the Elf Queen found her and the Great Sage's orphan after the war."

After listening to the story, Charles couldn't help but think about it. He has read many versions of the story in many books, ranging from hot-blooded chicken soup to things that are not suitable for children.

Now his father told him that the protagonist of the story was his ancestors. He recalled the kind of story he had seen before. After removing the drought and retaining the essence, he found that there were some things that were not right in this infernal Affairs story.

At this time, Earl McGarden said to Charles in an educational tone of his children: "Charles, I know you have been very smart since childhood. Your grandfather told me before his death that you will become a great scholar."

Charles nodded, after all, this is a benefit for the reincarnation traveler.

Earl of McGarden continued: "According to the tradition of aristocratic, I will find you a wise tutor to be responsible for your enlightenment education, and he will become your steward in the future, just like our steward Afu. Then when you are twelve years old, send you to the knowledge city to choose an excellent college for further study."

At this time, Charles found something in his father's words, so he asked tentatively: "Then is the situation changing now?"

Earl McGarden did not answer, but said: "Guess."

Charles knew his father's temper. Whenever he said this, it meant that a person's wisdom was to be tested.

Charles has never seen his father test his subordinates like this. If the other party's answer can satisfy the count, the person waiting for that subordinate is a promotion and salary increase. Almost all the managers of the caravans at home and outside the caravan have been tested like this.

Now it was Charles' turn to be tested for the first time, so he thought about his father's problems while learning the postures his grandfather often used when thinking about problems - the three fingers in the middle of his right hand were knocking on the table in turn - and thinking about his father's problems.

"My father told a historical story just now, is it related to this history?" When Charles thought about it, his eyes swept across the bookshelf in the study and then fell on one of the books - "Legend of the Braves in Another World".

"It's it!" Charles' eyes glowed, and then the book that was so thick that it could slap Slime to death flew towards him and smashed him in the face.

"Your mage's hand needs to be practiced more." The father said to his son with a smile.

Charles rubbed his nose and turned to the location of the book catalog.

In this disaster-prone world, the war between humans and demons has lasted for two or three thousand years.

More than a thousand years ago, after the gods gave divine power to mortals, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the human side.

Under the guidance of the gods, humans began to use the power of God to summon a group of brave men from a place called Japan in another world to lead humans to fight.

The year when the first devout man was protected by divine power was counted as the first year of the Godly calendar. Now it is the year of the Godly calendar. The brave men in another world who are summoned every three hundred years have summoned several times like cutting leeks.

What made Charles feel relieved was that in addition to resisting the demons, these five brave men from Japan also brought many fine traditions from the original world.

For example, the sewers with conscience in the city, clean toilet paper and hot spring culture, etc.

When Charles, who came here at the beginning, knew that he was in a medieval world in Europe, remembered the medieval hygiene and the Black Death, and almost let him suffocate himself to travel through time again while he was breastfeeding.

The catalog marked the time when these brave men traveled through time, and Charles calculated with his fingers...

"The sixth brave man is also ready to come." Charles raised his head and said to his father, "The flames of war are about to be rekindled."

Earl McGarden nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly asked, "Are you also a brave man who traveled through time?"

Charles looked at his father with his eyes looking at Slime. At this moment, it finally came. After all, the book says that the brave men who traveled through time include four types: reincarnation type, summoning type, death body grabbing type and sudden appearance type. I don’t know what the relationship between the brave and the word “fen” of fennel beans.

The important feature of the reincarnation type {delete}fennel bean{/delete} brave man is premature intelligence like Charles.

So Charles shook his head and said, "No."

Just kidding, the family is rich, land and aristocrats. It would be great to be a rich man who pays money from behind. Why do you have to fight with those Japanese?

My great-grandfather, when he was a layman, relied on handsome and rich, to be his wife a little princess on the verge of bankruptcy.

When his grandfather was studying in the city of knowledge, he relied on his handsome, knowledgeable and rich appearance to bring back the dean's precious granddaughter, leaving him with a place to curse his brothers who had no spoons to eat slime.

His father was the one in front of him who was handsome when he was in business, and he could coax girls and have money, and he kidnapped a young daughter who was intending to rebel to marry other families. He also heard that he had a beautiful lover outside who could make his mother jealous.

According to the tradition of the Makgarden family's intercourse and scholarship, Charles is ready to go to the Knowledge City to pick up students.

When a brave man goes to fight for life and death? Please ask another one.

Naturally, Earl McGarden would not let his son go so easily, because he was more than the only one who doubted Charles like him.

"Really?" Earl McGarden showed his momentum. The pressure of a magician cannot be resisted by a child.

Charles did not resist the pressure from his father, but in fact he could not resist it.

He raised his trembling hand tremblingly and said, "I can swear to the God of Light that I am not a brave man from Japan."

In this world where God exists, one of the most commonly used uses of God is to use it as a lie detector, even a family like the McGarden family that does not believe in God is no exception.

The holy white light flashed across Charles' body, and then he had nothing to do.

Of course, if he said "I am not a brave man from another world", he would be burned to the fire of light for lying now.

Earl McGarden breathed a sigh of relief, and then his whole body turned back to his usual kind fatherly appearance.

Charles, who had survived this level, also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to suffer such family education again.

Earl of McGarden continued: "Because the war is coming, many people's minds are starting to be active."

"Hehehehe..." Earl McGarden let out a cold war, "That big bear is so smart, he has put his ideas on us."

"There is still the prince who proposed to your sister Mira two months ago. He also put his ideas on us. But he doesn't have to worry about his affairs. I will ask Sister Elizabeth to help us negotiate with his father."

This time Charles understood that everything was a routine, no wonder Marquis Hermanlik wanted to give Cynthia to himself.

As troubled times approach, the Meccaden family is rich and the Hermanlik family has an army. At that time, the title of Marquis of Hermanlik may become a duke known as the "King's Reserve". Since it is a reserve, it is not impossible to climb up a little further.

And Marquis Hermanlik is not the only one with this ambition.

"So last month when Mira turned twelve, I sent her to the Seminary of Light, which was the path she chose." Earl McGarden said, "Next, I plan to send you to the city of knowledge in a few days. Your grandfather left you with a letter of recommendation before his death, and you can take the letter to his old classmates to help."

Charles nodded, it seemed that his journey to take a girl could start in advance.

Then, Earl McGarden solemnly took out a box from the drawer. When he opened the box, Charles saw a ring inside.

"Take it and put it on, I know you've wanted it for a long time." Earl McGarden put the box with the ring in front of Charles.

This ring without gem inlaid and only simple patterns is naturally not a ring of authority symbolizing the title of Earl, but a space ring filled with various books.

The McGarden family’s business reading of the family is based on the knowledge contained in the ring.

No matter which era it is, knowledge is the most precious asset.

Charles had now learned what his father meant, so he picked up the ring he had seen in his grandfather's hand without hesitation and put it on the index finger of his left hand.

The ring seemed to be alive, and after putting on Charles' finger, it automatically reduced to a size suitable for his finger size.

Charles had to sigh that it was indeed a fine product for the elves.

It was already late at night, and Earl McGarden stood up and looked at the garden with moonlight shining outside the window.

"What a pity, Sister Elizabeth still couldn't catch up with your birthday. It seems that the heavy rain a few days ago hindered their itinerary." Earl McGarden sighed.

At this point, the words to be said were finished, and the Earl of McGarden asked Charles to take a shower and go to bed.

Since you are going to bed, you must wash it before going to bed.
To be continued...
