Mage with knife

Xinning Town in the York Territory of the Dayan Kingdom is said to be a town, which is roughly a larger rural area. At least, that's what Dick thinks.

Dick, the youngest son of the Knight Lord of Sinning Town, traveled here when he was three years old, and is now nine years old. Yes, the old-fashioned time travel, the treatment is not bad, after all, he is the son of the 'village chief', and he is always hungry.

of.

The reason why Sinning Town is called Knight Territory is because the 'boss' of this town, Dick's father Sinclair, is a knight, a kind of extraordinary person who can fight very well. It is said that a fourth-level knight is already a relatively powerful person in York Territory.

Forced existence.

There are magicians and warriors in this world (soldiers become knights after being canonized by nobles). Magicians are relatively noble extraordinary professions. For example, the Lord of York is a baron, and the baron is a second-level magician. Dick's father

Sinclair has been following the baron's warriors since he was a child. It is said that after he made great contributions, he was granted the knightly territory of Sinning Town by the baron of York Territory.

Of course, knights have territories, and those are strong knights who are loyal to the Baron.

Knight is a so-called honorific, collectively referred to as warriors. The training levels of warriors are divided into nine levels. Sinclair's fourth-level warriors are already the cultivation level of intermediate warriors. In the York Territory, it is said that there are five intermediate warriors in total. It can be seen that,

Intermediate knights are still very rare creatures.

(Both warriors and magicians are divided into nine levels. Levels one to three are elementary; levels four to six are intermediate; levels seven to nine are advanced.)

Why is it that among the five mid-level warriors in the York Territory, only Sinclair has actually sealed the territory? What about the other mid-level warriors?

Firstly, the Baron is a magician. Magicians are good at long-distance attacks and need the protection of powerful knights. Secondly, after Sinclair went on many expeditions for the Baron, in the last battle, he broke an arm and suffered internal injuries.

After being injured secretly, to put it bluntly, his combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and he is about the same as a semi-invalid person...

Whether it was to appease the knights who were loyal to him or to win people's hearts, Sinclair was granted the title of Sinning Town ten years ago.

Theoretically, Sinning Town is Sinclair's fiefdom, and there is no need to pay taxes to the baron above. However, the atmosphere in this world is not very good. A soldier starts from the day he swears allegiance to the lord (if you don't swear)

Loyalty, you don't even have the skills to practice as a warrior, how can you practice it?), you almost sold your heart and soul to the lord.

Sinclair is probably also influenced by this 'feudal remnant' idea. Most of the taxes collected by his knights are turned over to the Baron. Look at how poor the people in Sinning Town are, and look at the poor family of the mayor of the knight...

…

When Sinclair's eldest son was ten years old, he was sent to the Baron by Sinclair and continued to serve the Baron as a 'slave'; when the second son was ten years old, Sinclair was still sent to the Baron.

His son became a 'slave'.

Allegiance, true allegiance, the kind of loyalty that one has signed (loyalty contract).

Seeing that the youngest son Dick is almost ten years old...

Paralyzed! Why should I be loyal to you? Dick, who traveled through the earth in the 21st century, is very angry. Is the remnant feudal ideology unacceptable?

Are knights awesome? They have to kneel in front of their 'master' every now and then, and if they don't follow their 'master' as a bodyguard all day long, how can they have any personal freedom?

The problem is that Dick's father, Sinclair, thinks that knights are awesome. Even if Sinclair, who has a broken arm and serious internal injuries, punches out, such a large stone will fall apart.

Hey! This is a world where force is paramount. A fourth-level warrior can lift a 4,000-pound barbell; a fourth-level magician can easily burn down a town of Xinning with a single grinding fire spell... To put it bluntly, this is magic.

In a world ruled by divisions and warriors, without force, you can only be a poor and obedient citizen.

What makes Dick envious the most is that if a magician reaches the fourth level, his lifespan can be increased by one hundred years, and if he reaches the seventh level of advanced magician training, his lifespan can be increased by another two hundred years.

What about warriors? Compared to magicians, warriors have no status. Only when warriors practice to the seventh level can they have a hundred years of life income. However, the training of warriors... It is said that there is only one high-level warrior in the entire Dayan Kingdom.

Existence. This ratio... the Great Yan Kingdom has a population of several hundred million after all.

Of course, the training of a magician is also very difficult. At least, there is not even a single high-level magician in Dayan Kingdom.

"Dick!" Dick, who was accustomed to sitting at home and thinking wildly, heard his father Sinclair's voice.

"Father!" After all, this is a family with a knight's real estate. It can be considered a family with half a title. It is barely half a noble. Since I was a child, I have learned a lot about basic noble etiquette.

Although Sinning Town is very poor, and Dick's family is also poor, Sinclair is a fourth-level warrior. Even though he lost an arm, suffered hidden injuries, and his strength was greatly reduced, he still belongs to the existence of a transcendent person. From time to time, Sinclair can still

When I came back from hunting in the mountains, the oil and water were pretty good.

Without enough oil and water, if the children are malnourished when they are young, they will not be able to lay the physical foundation for cultivating warriors, right?

Dick is almost ten years old. He is 1.6 meters tall. He follows Sinclair's basic exercises every day and is in good health. It is said that starting to practice warrior skills at a young age is not good for your health. Almost all warrior training begins at ten years old.

Started at age.

Of course, no matter how good the health of a poor child is, if there are no warriors to practice the exercises, you will not be able to practice them.

In this world, warrior skills and magician skills are monopolized by nobles and kingdoms.

To put it bluntly, Sinclair would not dare to teach warrior skills to his children without the Baron's permission.

"Dick, have you really made up your mind?" The only people eating in the room were the father and son.

"Yes, I want to go to the Royal Capital!" Dick said with certainty, "Father, maybe I have the talent of a magician..."

Dick really doesn't want to kneel down in front of that bullshit Baron and swear allegiance right now. If he can become a magician, it seems to be his only chance.

In this world, magicians are relatively noble beings, and a baron is not qualified to make a magician loyal to him. Therefore, in the York Territory, every year Blackstone Castle (the Baron's home base) recruits some warriors with better qualifications in their own territory.

His children teach warriors how to practice. However, as a magician, the Baron will not teach his ancestral magician skills to the people of his territory.

Of course, the magician's training consumes too much money, and the nobles cannot afford it.

Only a 'big family' like the kingdom can raise magicians.

The Kingdom of Dayan has the Royal Capital Magician Academy, which provides you with magician skills from level one to level three for free. Once you reach level four, if you don’t show your loyalty to the kingdom (you won’t be like a warrior and sell yourself out)

(there are also similar work contracts), and the kingdom will not give you magician skills above level 4 for free.

For Dick, it is enough to train magicians from level one to level three for free. As for level four? That is an intermediate level magician. How many are there in the entire Dayan Kingdom? It is too far away.

Of course, to practice as a magician, you must have the qualifications. As for what is mental power and what is affinity to magical elements, Dick has only heard a few words from Sinclair at present, so how can he understand?

It doesn't matter, Dick has already thought about it and will wait until he gets to the royal capital. Even if he really doesn't have the qualifications to practice as a magician, there is still a warrior school in the royal capital. That's right, it's not a knight school, it's a warrior school.
