Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight of the traces of the mysterious (five thousand characters chap(1/2)
,.
The footsteps of dong dong sounded.
It's a bit like the sound of flat leather boots.
The first thing that caught Anyang's eyes was a thin and narrow dress of women, without decoration, mainly red and yellow, making the curve of the figure that was protruding and raised back more prominent. There were straps behind him, and the sleeves were slightly wider, but tightened at the cuffs.
This is the standard aristocratic casual outfit in certain areas of the southern Mesoaran Federation.
The visitor coldly glanced at the two distant cousins, who immediately lowered his head and bowed to Anyang obediently and bid farewell to leave.
"You go out too!"
"yes."
The maid left obediently.
The aura is very strong!
Anyang sighed in this way, silent.
The woman has long gray-white hair with a little light gold, which is not as curly as that of Europeans and Americans in the previous life, but is very soft, with snow-white skin and delicate face. Her facial contour is slightly three-dimensional than that of Orientals in the previous life, but not rough at all.
The slender waist is tightly bound by clothes and the chest is tall, which has a sense of nobility and momentum.
On the legs are tight pants that look a bit like bodybuilding pants, and a bit like the real-world young women wear, outlining the tight and straight curves of their legs. Further down is a pair of women's high leather boots decorated with a few metal rivets.
Such clothes undoubtedly make you look heroic while decorating your identity and sexy beauty.
Iron’s cousin, Lydia Cofinoli!
Anyang immediately recognized the person.
He and Lydia were soon left in the room.
Anyang became more scrupulous and his face became more silent.
From Ain's memory, he knew that just like Lydia was scared to her two distant cousins in a hurry without saying a word. Lydia was usually a serious person and was very majestic in training at the Baron's Knight Camp.
But what Anyang really cares about is her understanding of Ain.
In the territory of Kofinoli, the one with the closest relationship with Ain is undoubtedly the Baron, and the second is this cousin, but because both the Baron and the cousin are very powerful people, Ain is usually a little afraid of them and doesn't have much contact.
Lydia first glanced at him, then turned around and closed the door before coming to him.
Anyang saw from this action that this cousin might stay with him for a long time.
"Iron."
Anyang raised his head and kept frowning at her.
"Ain, do you remember me?"
This is probably the most asked question from the people who came to see him.
Anyang tried hard to make a look of pain in thinking hard, in order to show the true expression of "Ain" who had a slight memory loss when he saw his cousin who cared most. Then he seemed to finally remember it and looked at Lydia and said:
"Cousin Lydia..."
"You still remember me."
Lydia's expression suddenly softened, she reached out to stroke his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Before she came, she deliberately inquired about Ain's situation. After he woke up, he called his father the Baron and his brother the Mickey. Unexpectedly, he called her cousin as soon as he opened his mouth. Doesn't this mean that he is more important in his heart?
Anyang frowned, repelling the touch from this strange woman, but he still deliberately endured it.
After a pause, Lydia asked softly again: "Do you remember the names of the three girls just now?"
An Yang shook his head, but he actually remembered it.
Lydia was even more satisfied, her eyes softer, and her previous tough momentum disappeared without a trace.
Anyang felt an ominous premonition in his heart...
But he didn't show it.
Lydia continued: "The two younger girls just now are your cousins, one is Lunan Helist, her mother is your father's aunt's cousin, and the other is Misha Larkin, so the relationship should be more intimate."
Anyang thought about it in his mind, and did not want to make himself look too idiotic, so he acted like he suddenly remembered it.
"It seems that you have no serious memory loss."
Lydia's smile was quiet and sweet. After hesitating, she said again: "The bigger one is called Sheriel Zekaraya. Her father is your father's right-hand man, Knight Shuka, and her mother is also your father's cousin."
Anyang nodded again.
Lydia continued: "Their purpose is not pure, don't contact them recently, do you know?"
"Um."
Anyang just doesn't want to have more contact with others.
Seeing his appearance, Lydia thought that he had lost his memory and had no reservations about her, and she couldn't help but feel happier.
"Do you want something to eat?"
"Black...dried black autumn fish."
This is the food that Ain liked the most in Anyang's memory, and it is also a specialty of the Kofinoli collar and several surrounding collars. It is just that eating too much is harmful to the body. Baron and Lydia usually do not allow him to eat it, and they are very strict.
Anyang is undoubtedly avoiding being suspicious when he throws this out.
Lydia hesitated, but nodded in his longing eyes: "Only two are allowed to eat."
Anyang nodded immediately with some joy.
Lydia smiled, picked up the fruit that Lunan hadn't finished peeling just now, and sat next to her and continued to peel it for him.
The picture is peaceful and beautiful, with the soft long gray-white hair hanging down naturally, and the preparatory female knight Lydia, whose face has always been very strong in the eyes of the castle, was calm and slow, and her eyes were focused on the fruit in her hand that had not moved.
However, this is Ain's cousin...
Anyang's mouth twitched a little.
After Lydia left, the maid came in again. Anyang asked her to support her and stood up and walked towards the window. In fact, the demon body had almost repaired him as Lydia accompanied him, but he didn't want to attract attention.
Then someone came to see him, but he was sent to him.
Anyang only feels that the relationship between relatives in this world is not as complicated as that in the real world China! Especially this aristocratic family formed by kinship and defection, they even have various connections and marriages with their subordinates.
And he also knew something about these Ain's distant cousins from Ain's memory.
Because nobles usually have many children and large families, especially those who only have some relatives, they are all over the place. Many distant relatives who live in miserable lives come to join the baron for their livelihood, resulting in many distant cousins of Iron. However, Kofinoli is not as large as the territory belonging to the higher nobles, and it is impossible to afford so many relatives with family members.
So in more cases, these people either become civilians in the territory and can get some care from the baron, or work for the baron in the castle. Their status is higher than other slaves, but they are also limited. Especially when the bad-tempered Baron gets angry, he will not take into account this pitiful blood relationship at all, and he will be executed at all!
So if you want to live here in this war-torn era, it will be a very necessary thing to please the Baron. But not everyone can speak, so many people turn their attention to the Baron's heirs.
This is also very necessary.
Because the territory and title will inevitably be inherited, instead of pleasing the new baron at that time, it is better to have a good relationship while the future baron is not a baron. It would be better if we could have some special relationships as soon as possible.
After all, no one wants to be expelled!
They are just trying to make a living.
But the Baron has many children, and there are two who are most likely to inherit. Some people chose their eldest son Mickey, and some chose their second sons, Ein, Lunan, Misha and Sherry, who chose Ein.
Well, they are just the three best looking.
Others who are not as good as others cannot get close to Iron, and usually use other methods to please the Baron and the heirs.
This method is despised by others in modern society, but it is extremely common in this world.
The main reason is that these distant cousins, whose bloodline is already thin, do not have much presence. As blood ties are alienated from generation to generation, if no measures are taken, the later heads of the family may not have taken into account this relative relationship at all.
If they can get along with the heir of the title as soon as possible, their family's life will undoubtedly be guaranteed. And if they are weak in blood, they are more likely to arouse the interest of the heirs than others, and their faces and figures are also powerful weapons.
As for cousin Lydia
The Koffinori family was hereditary baron, but the title of Baron Lea Koffinori was not hereditary. When the Baron failed to compete for the title with the Baron's brother, he angrily led a part of the knights loyal to him to leave the original territory. After coming here, he was given the baron by the marquis here and rewarded the territory by the marquis here for his contribution to destroying the thieves and some wealth management points.
After only a few years, the Baron's territory became more and more prosperous, but the territory where the Baron's brother was located was annexed by the neighboring Baron because of the loss of force due to the departure of a large number of knights. At that time, Lydia and her sisters had to follow her mother to come here to join the Baron, and the Baron also accepted them for their bloodline.
Later, Lydia's mother died of a cold infection, leaving her alone and some half-sisters.
Fortunately, she worked very hard since childhood. Not only did she receive knight training, but she also showed extremely high wisdom. In addition, her bloodline is very appreciated by the Baron, and her status in the territory even surpassed that of some of the Baron's biological children who were not allowed to be granted.
Anyang seems to be in a history of the rise and fall of medieval families written by a Western writer, and I can't help but feel a little sad.
Holding the window with your hands is a large manor below. Except for the castle in the center, the rest are very simple, but covers a vast area. You can see some farms, pastures, and civilian houses further away, which looks like the West.
But in fact, this world is not the same as the ancient West in the real world. Although social cultures have similarities, organisms with the same thinking mode will inevitably develop similar social systems, which does not mean anything.
There are also many differences.
The ordinary force units in this world are knights, and these people serve lords and dominate wars. Similar to medieval knights and Japanese shogunate samurai, people with this identity would have appeared without the high centralization of the ancient Chinese central government.
However, they have a special training method, which may also be related to the extremely strong energy of the world in this world. The combat power of formal knights generally exceeds the limits of ordinary people. Anyang estimates that their average physical fitness may exceed two. This value, coupled with excellent heavy armor and special combat skills, can make them ignore ordinary people.
As for the title... this is a completely translation issue!
The titles of male, son, marquis, bor, and duke were set in the Zhou Dynasty in China. Later, after contacting the West, they found that the titles of Western titles were divided into five levels, so they compared them one by one. This is the same as the commander of the army being called generals. However, because China has few titles and territories, it is important that all the kings beneath the world are kings. However, the West has always used titles, and some people gradually thought that only the West had barons, viscounts and other statements, which is wrong.
