Knight's Infinite Journey

Chapter 2 Hourglass and Golden Finger

When I walked out of the room, the sun was shining brightly outside, and everything looked fine.

It's pretty good weather.

Yadimu was bathed in the sunshine, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He had seen the scene in front of him almost every day and had long been accustomed to it, so he didn't think it was anything.

But now that I saw him again, I felt like he was in another world.

After standing there and watching for a moment, he turned around and left, walking to the restaurant nearby.

There is no canteen in the Hod Royal Academy, but there are various restaurants and vendors, which were organized by nearby businessmen.

But even if they are the same places to eat, they are still distinct.

Those who are gorgeously dressed and carry weapons are often the heirs of nobles, and they will choose to enter and dine in a few taverns.

As for roadside vendors, this is a place only commoners visit.

The two are distinct, like an invisible rule that is rarely exceeded.

Although the Kingdom of Hod has undergone changes and nominally calls for equality for everyone, the traditional rules still leave an imprint on many people's hearts.

Even the Hod Royal Academy, which is known as the most enlightened, is not immune to being affected everywhere.

Yadimu stopped and watched for a while, then stepped forward and asked for some bread from a small merchant.

The bread was freshly baked, and it still had a fragrant aroma. It seemed to be a little different from the bread that Yadimu had in his previous life.

The salesman looked at Yadimu and seemed a little surprised when he saw the long sword on his waist, but he quickly lowered his head and took out the things.

A total of two loaves cost Yadimu four coppers.

"Thanks."

After taking the bread, Yadimu turned and left.

He found a place to sit down in a flat area of ​​the college and ate there.

The freshly baked bread tastes quite good, with a faint fragrance.

"It seems to be no different from what you find in aristocratic restaurants."

Yadimu swallowed one mouthful at a time, this thought flashed through his mind.

In the past, because of his status, Yadimu would always choose to go to places like aristocratic restaurants for meals, no matter how embarrassed he was.

Like other students who were born into noble families, he believed that this was the only way to be worthy of his noble status.

It is a shame in the eyes of the nobles to enter a restaurant where common people dine and sit down to dine with common people.

But looking at it now, the things in this noble restaurant don't seem to be any different from the things outside.

Well, there is actually a difference.

Not only is it more expensive, but it's also worse in some aspects.

If the ordinary bread that Yadimu mentioned was placed in a noble restaurant, it would cost at least five coppers, and it would basically only be cold and hard. In fact, it was far less delicious than freshly baked bread.

But even so, there are still a large number of people choosing so-called aristocratic restaurants.

Is it because you can't let go of your identity?

Yadimu thought in his mind, feeling a little unsure.

Maybe it’s because of the circle?

Just like Artimu in the past, if he, as the son of a knight, was caught dining with commoners, he would most likely be discriminated against and ostracized by the people around him with the same background.

Maybe it's because of this reason that it becomes like this.

In order to integrate into the circle of aristocrats as much as possible, I would rather pay a higher premium to choose something that is actually not that good.

And in the process, you may really be brainwashed by some unreasonable words and believe that this is the truth.

For example, if common people are humble and nobles are noble, it doesn't make sense. When people around you say that, you might actually believe it.

Yadimu couldn't help but feel a touch of joy in his heart.

He was happy that he understood more.

The truth behind this simple question was unknown to Yadimu in the past.

He just passively followed the people around him, acted according to instinct, and just went with the flow.

But now, after having the memory of his previous life, he suddenly understood.

Maybe this is not something worth remembering, but for Yadimu, it is still worth being happy.

But maybe others don't want to see him so happy. At this time, someone will always come to disturb and choose to interfere with other people's good mood.

"Isn't this Yadimu?"

Some surprising sounds sounded not far away.

Looking up, a young man wearing a red robe was standing there.

The young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a bright red robe and had fair skin. The long sword on his waist vividly demonstrated his noble status.

In the Kingdom of Hod, although official laws have lifted various restrictions on civilians, various unspoken rules still exist. Only descendants of nobles are qualified to wear weapons.

Even in a place like Hod Royal Academy, those who can wear weapons must be descendants of nobles.

"Helu, long time no see."

Looking at the young man's appearance, Yadimu was a little surprised, but he still greeted him politely.

"what are you doing here?"

Helu looked at Yadimu's appearance and asked in confusion.

"As you can see, I'm eating."

Yadimu smiled: "The scenery here is nice, I think it's just right for a rest."

"Since you want to eat, why not go to the restaurant?"

Helu was a little confused.

"In fact, my wallet is empty now and I'm afraid I can't afford the restaurant expenses."

Yadimu said calmly.

In fact, he had the money he had just borrowed from Reagan, so he could afford it if he really wanted to dine at an aristocratic restaurant.

But for Yadimu now, he felt there was no need to spend that wasted money to deliberately go to that kind of place.

That's purely an IQ tax.

An expression of contempt appeared subconsciously on Helu's face, but then quickly disappeared.

It was a very embarrassing situation for a nobleman to reveal his poor financial situation, which would be laughed at by many people.

But recalling Yadimu's previous rumors, Helu became clear again.

"That's a really sad thing."

He pretended to sigh and said with emotion: "I hope your embarrassment will pass soon."

"Will do."

Yadimu saw the flash of contempt on Helu's face, but didn't care. He just smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's not bad now."

"That would be great."

Heru nodded, then found a reason and left quickly.

Looking at this look, it seems that he is afraid that Yadimu will ask him to borrow money?

According to ordinary understanding, this is indeed very possible.

People from aristocratic families rarely reveal their financial difficulties, but once they are exposed, they may be ready to borrow money from you.

But in this case, Helu’s reaction seems to be excusable?

But Yadimu promised that he really had no such intention.

But looking at Helu's almost running away appearance, he probably understood what was going on, but didn't say much.

After finishing the bread in front of him in two or three mouthfuls, Yadimu was about to go back to his room.

"Huh?"

As soon as he stood up, Yadimu noticed something strange.

He found that an inexplicable scenery seemed to appear in front of him.

A flash of purple flashed past him, and finally turned into a miniature hourglass in front of him.

The hourglass looks very delicate, with grains of purple sand flying in it and gradually falling.

"What is this?"

Looking at the golden hourglass in front of him, Yadimu was a little surprised.

He felt no fear or horror.

Perhaps it was because he had just experienced soul fusion, but now that he saw the golden hourglass in front of him, he didn't feel strange or shocked.

On the contrary, looking at the golden hourglass, his first reaction was to know the function of this thing.

The hourglass is a traditional time-keeping tool in many places, and Yadimu is no stranger to it.

There are many of these things in Hode College, and they are used in many places.

The hourglass is used to measure time. What does the hourglass in front of you mean?

Yadimu observed carefully.

Inside the golden hourglass is purple fine sand, which is slowly flowing downward at the moment.

However, this speed is very slow. Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that it will take many days to end.

What happens after the hourglass drains completely?

This thought flashed through Yadimu's mind.

He had a hunch that when the sand in the hourglass was completely drained, something good would happen.

in addition

Yadimu looked at the small piece of bread left in his hand, thoughtfully.

The bread in front of me is not too small. A piece of bread is enough for an ordinary person to eat two meals.

But Yadimu had just eaten two pieces, but he didn't feel anything. He still felt an inexplicable hunger.

This is not unusual.

Although his previous appetite was not small, it was not to such an exaggerated level.

Could it be

In order to verify his thoughts, he got up again and bought two pieces of bread.

The vendor seemed a little confused about his return, but after learning his purpose, he still enthusiastically took out the bread and put it in Yadimu's hand.

Yadimu walked aside and finished the bread alone.

really.

After eating two pieces of bread, Yadimu still didn't feel full even though he wasn't hungry.

It’s basically confirmed.

The portion of a piece of bread is not small, and Yadimu's stomach is so big. He ate four pieces in one go. Logically speaking, he should have been exhausted long ago.

But now there is no reaction at all.

This obviously can only be explained by something else.

Looking again, after eating so much, it seems that even the hourglass in front of me has changed, with a lot more sand falling in it.

Maybe if this continues, it will be over in a few days.

Yadimu was looking forward to this.

He felt that the hourglass in front of him was probably the product of the fusion of his souls.

According to the memory of the previous life, is it the golden finger that only appeared after time travel?

Yadimu learned from the memories of his previous life that there were many legendary stories in that world, and most of the protagonists in them had the experience of time travel and their own golden fingers.

Now that he has experienced soul fusion, he can barely be considered a time traveler after awakening his past life memories. Does it seem reasonable to awaken a golden finger of his own?

Yadimu thought so.

no way.

There was no similar situation around him, so naturally he didn't know whether his situation was normal or not.

Since you don't know, you can only understand it this way.
