Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Baima City is a beautiful place, with white walls, red tiles, green grass and flowers.

Hill slowly walked towards the castle. The stone road was so quiet that he could only hear his own footsteps. He would be an adult today and bid farewell to this city.

Hill's identity is actually a bit embarrassing. His father, Count Perast, married three wives and gave birth to three sons, and he was the middle one. According to the rules of the Salar Kingdom, when the non-eldest son reaches adulthood at the age of 16, he will take a piece of property and divide the family and leave.

The mother of the earl's eldest son, Manton, was of noble birth. As the daughter of Duke Krall, she received a rich dowry. Unfortunately, Manton was weak and died soon after his birth.

The eldest son had a powerful maternal family. When the earl married his second wife, he only considered her appearance. However, he was unwilling to choose a wife among the minor nobles, so he chose a court mage who was not in the aristocratic system. Melanie, daughter of Oberstein Faran.

Melanie is a great beauty, with fair skin, big eyes, a straight and delicate nose, a full mouth, and long hair like a golden waterfall, which deeply attracted the earl.

The Earl of Perast was handsome, rich, romantic, passionate, beautiful and innocent. The female mage was soon moved by the encouragement of the palace women and married him. Unfortunately, she regretted it within two years.

The entire count's castle rejected this female mage. Everyone felt that she would definitely attack her eldest son, Manton, including the husband who claimed to love her the most. After Hill was born, he was even more on guard against her.

However, no one thought that there would be no boring wars between women in the world of mages. Melanie plunged into alchemy, bought a manor outside the town with her son, lived in it, and never saw her husband again.

Before Hill was 12 years old, he would only see his so-called father at the annual New Year's party. Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, Melanie's alchemy experiment failed, and the spell backfired. He died a few months later, and Hill had to return to the Earl's castle.

Count Perast was indifferent to this son and immediately devoted himself to the selection of a third wife. He no longer dares to marry a noble female mage. He has had enough of living without a mistress for 12 years and allowing others to laugh at him.

In the end, Earl Perast chose a baron's daughter who was famous for her outstanding mind, beauty and generosity. She gave birth to her third son Edgar 2 years ago.

This time, the people in the castle finally returned to the familiar pace. The young and beautiful little wife took action and postponed Manton's coming-of-age ceremony that was supposed to be held at the age of 16 until after he turned 20. Who makes Manton fail to live up to his expectations? He is still far from being a formal knight.

Most people, when there is no pressure, pursue comfort and enjoyment; only by exerting a certain amount of pressure can they work hard, so Manton began to exercise hard every day.

Hill is leaving anyway, but if Manton, who is in his 30s, has not become a knight in 14 years, his inheritance will depend on whether Edgar can become a knight.

Of course, if the earl is unlucky enough to die before then, Hill can come back to grab the title. After all, among the current generation, Hill is the only one above the knight level.

So in order to reduce trouble and keep his ears quiet, Hill rarely even used spells in the castle, so these people thought he was still an apprentice.

Manton also tried to win over Hill, but unfortunately the method was clumsy. Hill got rid of him with an aloof and indifferent look like he was just waiting for adult separation. After careful observation for a while, his stepmother found that he really just wanted to leave. It was silent.

Hill spent time in the castle study every day until last night, when he suddenly received a message from his grandfather who had never had direct contact with him.

He rushed to the manor overnight. After the indifferent mage sensed his mage-level mental power, he gave him a storage ring with satisfaction and left, leaving no room for Hill to speak.

Hill didn't even respond to his grandfather who had called him for a long time. He packed up the manor angrily and collected all his mother's things. The storage ring is large and contains many spell books.

He understood that being a mage was a self-taught profession. After his mother led him into the profession, he should read more and learn more. There is nothing wrong with Flan's approach.

As a grandfather, Fran's love for him is all in the ring. There are many precious materials in it, a large amount of gold coins, enough to hold a library of books, and the most important magic tower building materials. This is A high-level magic tower core that Hill couldn't buy even if he had money.

but! Hill wailed in his heart: "Dear grandpa! I am a warlock! I don't know any bloodline!"

Yes, Hill's years of meditation turned a corner when he was about to embark on the path of a mage. He awakened and became a glorious earth, wood, and water warlock. He didn't know if he had caused trouble by traveling through time and space. In his previous life, he was a civil engineer, but after awakening in this life, he added water.

In Hill's spell list, turning fossils into mud and turning mud into stone are listed at the front, summoning earth elements, wood elements, and water elements are at the back. Mixed in between are Earth Shield, Earthquake, Slowness, Natural Growth, Summoning Natural Companions and Purification.

Hill knew that his bloodline was definitely not bad, and not everyone in Warlock Awakening could have so many spells at the beginning. And since his awakening, his body has begun to become stronger day by day, and his seemingly thin body contains powerful power. As a sorcerer, his power is almost as strong as that of a formal knight.

When Hill woke up, he vaguely saw a giant bear roaring toward the sky. He knew that his main bloodline must be bears. The bear clan is basically all of the earth type, and they must have equal bloodlines to coexist, so Hill has been thinking about what the earth bear can do to interfere with the descendants of the earth, wood, and water types.

He was extremely curious about his bloodline, but he couldn't find any clues after reading all the books in the castle and manor. After finally finding an archmage who might know about it, he still found nothing.

He asked Lina, the housekeeper of the manor, to wait for him at the gate of the manor after packing his luggage. Hill, who was feeling tight-chested, could only walk back to the castle in the early morning light.

Count Perast hadn't gotten up yet, and in the castle there was only the awakened Manton, who was practicing hard accompanied by several illegitimate sons. Hill ignored them and went back to the room to tidy up.

The butler had revealed the count's intention to him a few days ago. The count gave Hill two choices. There was a lord with a small fiefdom in the earldom or a baron without a fiefdom but with a development order. He chose without hesitation. baron. What a joke! If he stays in the earldom, there will be a lot of trouble waiting for him in the future, whether magic is not good or alchemy is not fun, Hill is not in the mood to suffer from this.

No one in the Earl's castle knew that Hill was a warlock. Low-level wizards were not uncommon among nobles. The growth of a wizard took a lot of time and consumed countless resources. Hill, who had a cold relationship with the earl and would certainly not get much property after separation, was not taken seriously.

But if he is a warlock inherited by blood, he will definitely be treated as a stallion and given to a big noble in the name of marriage. Hill just wanted to run as far as possible and find a place to find the Archmage.

After tidying up the room, Hill didn't wait long before he saw the butler who invited him downstairs. The count, his wife, and family members were all waiting for him to have dinner with him. Hill walked down the stairs slowly. The large restaurant was full of people watching the excitement. After finishing his stomach-ache-inducing breakfast in whispers, he followed the group of people to the conference hall.

The Count stood at the front of the hall, facing Hill in the crowd, and said with a smile: "Dear Hill, my cherished second son, at this important moment of your adulthood, I canonize you as Count Perast. Baron Ranio!

As a father, I will give you 20,000 gold coins and allow you to take away all of your mother's property. I hope you will add glory to the Perast family as Baron Hilperast Bolaño! "

As soon as Hill finished speaking, he heard a sudden amplification of whispers, and the people watching the excitement could not hide their surprise at all.

Count Perast's annual income is about 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins. The status of a baron without a fiefdom is considered very high by ordinary people, but a Earl with real power can be canonized once a year, which is usually used to win over high knights or nobles. They buy with money. There is no big knight appearing this year, so it is normal for Hill to be given the baron status.

But the earl didn't even give his son a fief! The combined property Hill received was less than the earl's two-year annuity.

Hill knew that the earl felt that Melanie's property was enough to compensate him. Although the earl was not afraid of the court mage, he did not want to cause trouble.

But he disliked this son very much, which was a clear proof that he was rejected by his wife. As long as Hill is around, Melanie’s story will never be forgotten. He would never leave this son in his fiefdom. Hill is a mage and will definitely not choose to be a minor lord.

The Earl always thought that Melanie was just a little wizard who knew some alchemy, and even tried to commit suicide. Even if the property left to Hill was worth at most 100,000 gold coins, so after Melanie passed away, he generously called Hill You keep it yourself.

However, a woman's property belongs to the man. Before reaching adulthood, Hill can only get the items donated by Melanie before her death. Everything written on Melanie's dowry list belongs to the earl. The Earl didn't care what Melanie brought, and there were always knights in the family, so he didn't even look at it.

But if he hadn't made it clear in today's statement, the countess could have intercepted Hilcha and found out what he was taking. This was the only kindness he showed to Hill as a father.

With Manton, the eldest son of a powerful mother's family, if the earl wanted to distribute money to other children, he could only divide it in his own annuity. So he didn't want to give Hill too much for a son he didn't like.

The sixteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony that was supposed to be held before the enfeoffment ceremony was completely ignored by the earl. If they are pampered children, they will receive generous wealth at the coming-of-age ceremony. But only those children who really don't like it would not even have an ordinary coming-of-age ceremony.

Everything today is just to let everyone understand that Hill is an unwelcome presence in this castle, and there is no need to treat Hill favorably for the count's sake in the future.

Hill didn't care about this at all. He looked at the instant change in the atmosphere in the hall.

From now on, it is left to the new Countess and Manton to continue their war!

Hill only took away 20,000 gold coins, while Edgar and his possibly-born brother would receive hundreds of thousands. Hill saw Manton's eyes suddenly become sharp. From this moment on, his little brother Edgar truly became his enemy.

And the young and beautiful stepmother's eyes twinkled, and everyone understood that Edgar was going to get a lot, but she wanted more. Count Perast's castle will surely be bustling with activity in the future, leaving plenty of room for discussion among satisfied people.

Hill didn't want to pay attention to these people and things. He got the baronial document from the butler, solemnly thanked the earl for the canonization, and turned and left the castle as everyone watched.
