Chapter 78 Ling Yun’s Ambition
After three years, Ling Yi, a name that had been silent for a long time and was almost forgotten, once again appeared in the eyes of all the forces in "Muzhi City".
This time, Ling Yi is no longer a dispensable lucky boy, but the fourth blacksmith in the [Shuimu Principality]!
According to this, Grand Duke Mufeng personally received the young man who was about to be fourteen years old, granted him the title of baron, and designated the other party's hometown, Beikouhe Town and more than 20 subordinate villages, as for territory.
Get to the top in one step!
From a simple commoner to a baron with a fiefdom spanning dozens of miles, he can be called an inspirational model in the eyes of all the common people in the entire [Shuimu Principality]!
Although there are viscounts, earls and other important figures, as well as Grand Duke Mufeng and several marquises who control the entire principality, it is also a class leap and can be called an achievement of honoring the ancestors.
To give an inappropriate example, if Ling Yi's lineage builds an ancestral hall in the future, Ling Yi's tablet will be placed in the middle of the first row at the top!
At this time, people suddenly discovered that not only soul masters can obtain titles after becoming soul masters, but blacksmiths who upgrade to blacksmith master can also receive titles from the principality!
For a time, in the entire [Shuimu Principality], the profession of blacksmith was favored by common people and small soul master families because of Ling Yi's deeds.
Those soul masters with low innate soul power, poor martial soul quality, and limited achievements in the future as soul masters, and even first-level soul masters, were a little excited at this moment, wondering whether they should change careers to learn forging. craft.
It’s not a burden to have many arts, there are many ways to increase your income.
It’s good to make money, not shabby!
……
Douluo calendar year 2605, February 15th.
Shanhai Village, Ling Family.
Ling Yi stood in front of the desk in his room, holding a homemade brush in his hand, writing and drawing on the snow-white paper one stroke at a time.
The golden sunlight fell on him through the window, dispelling the chill in February. He relaxed physically and mentally, looking comfortable and leisurely.
Logically speaking, at this time, he should either participate in the banquets of small and medium-sized nobles, whether they are old families that existed more than a hundred years ago, or emerging soul master families that only appeared in recent decades. They are all very interested in him as a young blacksmith, and he should also use this opportunity to expand his blank network among the nobles.
If you don’t socialize with the nobles of the soul master system, you should also exchange your forging experiences with Mr. Jin’s brothers, as well as Blacksmith Fu Shan and Blacksmith Li Qiang, to further get closer. relationship between each other.
But at this moment, Ling Yi turned down all the entertainment a few days ago and asked his master, Mr. Jin, to act as a representative to deal with the new and old soul masters and nobles. He left everything behind and returned to the territory he had just acquired, his hometown of Shanhai Village. , quietly carrying out daily routine and practice.
At most, I get one more hour of calligraphy practice every day.
This is not because Ling Yi was made a baron and became arty after crossing the aristocratic class, but because he wanted to adjust his mentality.
Ling Yi, who once learned calligraphy from a Chinese girl in her previous life, has some experience with the calming effect of writing.
No matter what Ling Yi tells himself deep in his heart, what he has in front of him now is insignificant in the entire Douluo Continent, and how weak his strength is, but deep in his heart Still couldn't help but feel some different emotions.
Some of the names of these emotions are called complacency, some are called pride, some are called laziness, and some are called fear... The strong mental power and the toughness of mind that have been honed in the past ten years of reincarnation make Ling Yi clearly I know that I am beginning to be complacent about the achievements in front of me, and I am proud of the success that I have achieved from nothing to crossing the class through my own efforts. I also have the question of whether I should just calm down and stay in the [Shuimu Principality] to settle down and marry ten or eight people. A beautiful woman with acceptable soul master qualifications came up with the idea of creating a big [Lanyincao·Ling Family].
When people are just starting out and have nothing, they often have lofty ambitions for the future and are always full of passion and motivation.
But when you achieve certain achievements through your own efforts and opportunities, and have the wealth and status you once longed for, you begin to worry about gains and losses, fearing to lose everything, and the original drive and aggressiveness begin to fade. .
If this was an ordinary journey to another world, Ling Yi would definitely choose to settle down, honestly develop the economy and people's livelihood in the territory, maintain dignity and friendship with the nobles of all parties, and Love the people like sons, let the people work hard to create value and contribute to the good life of the Baron.
After more than ten years of hard work, can't Lord Baron still enjoy it?
But!
This is the Douluo Continent where ordinary people and the weak live in dire straits!
At any time, an evil soul master or soul beast will appear and wreak havoc on the territory with a radius of dozens of miles.
What can Baron Ling Yi do at that time?
Kneel down and beg for mercy? Or offer gold, silver, treasures and beautiful women in exchange for a way out? Or is it possible to kill someone at the slightest sign of their neck?
After finally traveling through time, do you still want to live a life where you can’t help yourself?
The whole person, from body to mind, is not under his control. If he makes you laugh, he has to laugh; if he makes you sad, he has to cry!
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are like whips, driving the body to run around, and the all-pervasive information flow controls the emotions of the soul...
I want to hide, but I don’t know where to hide.
Now that we are well, we have come to this alien plane with extraordinary power, why don’t we give it a try?
Ling Yi doesn’t want to care about what other people think. Ling Yi only knows that he has to fight and fight!
Step by step, we must reach the state where the mind can be as free as the body.
So, what about the mere baron in front of us? So what about a territory that is dozens of miles in radius? What about the teenage blacksmith master?
In the final analysis, on the Douluo Continent, if you peel off all the clothes, Ling Yi at this time is just a first-level soul master who has just reached the seventeenth level.
With such a small amount of achievement, we can't just stand still and indulge in the temporary glory.
Fourteen years old, seventeenth level first-level soul master.
Although you have just celebrated your fourteenth birthday, it is not a big problem to practice to the eighteenth level before the age of fifteen, but think about the original protagonist group, due to the type of martial arts, the cultivation will be slow, and the three Oscar, who fishes every day and shows off his nets every day, still cultivated to level 30 at the age of fourteen and became a soul master. Ling Yi immediately lost any complacency and pride.
How can you rest at this age, with this strength, and with this little achievement? You have to sleep less, you can’t sleep at all!
Get together with your family and learn about the specific situation of the town and the twenty-five villages under its jurisdiction. After making plans and arrangements, it is time to return to the 'battlefield' of "Muzhi City". The master should have almost coordinated the information about the blacksmiths in the principality~
Ling Yi thought so and put the last stroke on the snow-white paper.
His eyes were clear and he looked at the black and white writing on the table:
It should be noted that when he was young, Ling Yunzhi once promised to be the best in the world——! ! !
