Chapter 1 Brand of the Holland family
This is a very quiet modern city.
Looking down from a high place, no trace of biological activity can be seen in the entire city.
Except for the occasional leaves and dust blowing in the wind, the entire city was as quiet as an exquisite model.
The only thing that is incompatible with this peaceful "model" is the sparkling outdoor swimming pool behind a huge villa, drinking cappuccino with a depressed look and sitting on a sun umbrella. A young man in swimming trunks flipping through a book.
His brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem related to "life and death".
"Introduction to Magic - New Edition of the Royal Mage Academy of the Kaya Empire in 427".
This is the name of the book in the young man's hand, and it is also the basic textbook for the first semester of the mage college where he is studying.
It describes in detail the "simple" knowledge required to become a mage apprentice, as well as the "simple" method to become a mage apprentice.
Because of good basic education, every young person with words in the book is familiar with it.
But when the words were connected into sentences and the sentences were formed into paragraphs, his mysterious and deep eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension.
"Magic, you are like a gauze girl hiding behind the hazy morning mist, making me unable to see clearly and asking for nothing!"
After grumbling elegantly, the young man in swimming trunks Frowning, he continued to study hard.
In fact, as far as the basic knowledge of magic is concerned, the "Introduction to Magic" in the young man's hand is already very simple.
Although magic is indeed a profound subject, if it only involves the knowledge of junior mage apprentices, it is not that profound.
For an ordinary nobleman with a good basic education, the difficulty level of this book is probably equivalent to that faced by college freshmen on Earth in advanced mathematics.
Look more, ask more, you will learn as time goes by.
As for why young people feel so threatened
I can only say.
You are a scumbag, and you are always like this when exams are approaching.
Because I didn't study hard on weekdays, now the exam is approaching and time is tight.
Browsing at a glance, naturally you can only get a vague overview.
How can you become fat with just one bite?
At this time, the time has come to the end of the semester.
There is still one week left before the final assessment of the first semester of the Mage Academy.
I wasted a lot of free time because I was addicted to "Goldfinger".
The time-travelers who are tired of playing with things now have to face this big devil called "Final Exam"!
......
About half a year ago, Mr. Wu Ming, who stayed up late and worked overtime and was extremely dissatisfied with the company, received the attention of the great time traveler.
As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, he came to a strange fantasy world.
Brand Holland, this is Mr. Wu Ming’s new name. His new identity is the Farnes Continent-Kaya Empire-Southern Province-Toler County-Holland Viscounty-Holland Viscount Second son.
After time travel, Wu Ming, whose memories are fused... or the new Mr. Brand, has very difficultly integrated into the "luxurious" life of the descendants of the imperial nobles - living in a castle, having meat to eat, and many servants .
When he first came into contact with this kind of life, he was still a little uncomfortable.
But as time passed, he accepted his current life and name.
Although this technologically backward world does not have mobile phones, it is impossible to surf the Internet.
But with all kinds of magic items and obedient and obedient maids, Mr. Brand feels that this kind of aristocratic life does have its beauty.
If there is anything about this kind of life that makes him always dissatisfied, then he has to mention his great brother who is extremely self-disciplined and motivated. Yersen Holland, the eldest son of Viscount Holland and Brand's eldest brother, is two years older than Brand and only celebrated his 18th birthday this year.
As Brand's eldest brother, although Yersin is not very young, he has now reached the level of a senior knight apprentice and is second to none among his peers.
According to imperial law, the title of a hereditary noble is inherited by the eldest son.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Yersin will inherit the territory and viscount title of the Holland family after his father passes away.
Yersen is an idealistic person. He has set the goal of revitalizing his family since he was a child and has been working hard for it.
As for where this goal came from, we have to mention their father, Lord Viscount Holland.
“The Holland family once had a glorious past, but it is now in decline.”
——This is what Viscount Holland told his two sons when they were young.
After hearing his "omnipotent" father speak such bleak "facts" in a lonely tone, the young Yersin was deeply affected.
Since then, welcoming back the past glory of the Holland family has become Yersin's life goal.
Although Mr. Holander sounds so inspiring, in fact, the Holander family does not have a glorious past.
The ancestors of the Holland family started out as pioneer knights. After opening up the territory, they obtained the title of baron. Then through continuous development from generation to generation, the barony has now developed into the current viscounty.
So now is actually the peak of the Holland family.
Mr. Holland was just teaching his two sons to brag casually that day. Who would have thought that Yersen would take it so seriously.
But no matter how serious it is, Mr. Holland is happy to see his eldest son’s progress. Seeing that the effect of his teachings is so obvious, Mr. Holland can’t help but think in the future. Said it a few more times.
Every time Yersin heard him talk about the glorious deeds of his family in the past, his heart was filled with excitement.
This greatly satisfied Mr. Holland's vanity, but Brand often expressed doubts about his remarks when he was present.
"It's so outrageous. , how can you question the glorious history of your family?”
This was said by Yersen. Hearing Yersen defend the honor of his family, Mr. Holland rarely showed a red face of "pleasure".
This is the origin of the conflict between Brand and Yersen.
Yersin has been strict with himself since he was a child, with the goal of revitalizing the family, and you can often see him sweating.
Brand’s lifestyle is famous in the viscounty for his extravagance.
The animal milk must be fresh, with an appropriate amount of refined sugar added; the white bread must be freshly baked, and evenly spread with a layer of golden honey; the clothes must be handmade and refined, and the best quality must be selected. Fabric, with magic gold silk pattern and bright gold edge
Yersin has always been very dissatisfied with Brand, a good-for-nothing brother who has always been greedy for pleasure, has no ambition for progress, and also questions the glory of his ancestors.
It’s okay if you don’t seek advancement and work with him to revitalize the family, but what’s going on with such extravagant waste of family property?
This will seriously delay his efforts to revitalize his family in the future!
Therefore, Brand, who was indulging in "luxury" years and constantly looking for "luxury art", would occasionally be caught by the stinky-faced Yersin giving lectures.
This makes Brand more troubled.
Brand actually had a period of "progress".
But the final result proved that apart from being too handsome, Brand was completely useless!
Now that he is almost 16 years old, he is just starting to practice knight magic. Although he has the talent to become a mage, he is a scumbag who hates learning, even the memory when he merged with the earth is no exception.
In short, Brand finally decided to mess up.
Only a "luxurious" life can bring some comfort to his injured heart.
