Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 2 Knight Family
"Damn, is this some kind of game I'm playing?"

"So this is what a realistic game is like?"

"Scenario mode? Role-playing? Playing as Warcraft?"

"."

When Lin Ke opened his eyes again, it was after he had assessed the current situation.

His current feelings are indescribable.

How can I describe this feeling?

It felt like winning the lottery.

It also feels utterly absurd.

Is this something that could actually happen?

Am I the protagonist of a novel?

Lin Ke felt his mind was in a mess.

But that's just how reality is, and the game has already started again.

At the very moment he was 'playing' the swamp monitor lizard, a phantom subtitle appeared in his field of vision.

It is also accompanied by a mechanical beeping sound.

[Awe-inspiring by your power, Knight York regards you as a god!]

He swore allegiance to you, and to the great divine agent, the 'Swamp Giant Lizard'.

Looking down at the knights below, Linko also looked at the illusory subtitles.

The entire swamp fell into a brief silence.

"I accept your allegiance, fortunate mortal."

Finally, under York's anxious gaze, Linko suddenly answered in the mouth of a monitor lizard.

'The swamp monitor lizard is talking?!'

York looked at the monitor lizard, and his already uneasy feelings became even more intense.

While there are magical beasts that can speak, this is definitely not something a second-tier magical beast like the Swamp Giant Lizard can do.

This also proves from another perspective that the monster in front of us is indeed a mortal being of an unknown god.

A huge disaster has turned into a miracle?

This miraculous escape, or even an incredible stroke of luck, must have made York incredibly exasperated.

This time, we're clearing the land.

Although York lost two newly recruited knight squires, he also lost more than ten recruited mercenaries.

However, gaining the favor of the gods is definitely a huge win.

"So, everything I just experienced was a test from a great god?"

"Have I gained His approval?"

"That's right, that must be it."

York suddenly understood everything, and a great joy welled up in his heart.

Not wanting to be disrespectful before the gods, he hurriedly and unsteadily got to his feet.

He picked up the sword that had fallen to the side and knelt down as quickly as possible beneath the giant lizard in a half-kneeling knightly salute.

"A fully-fledged knight, York Smith thanks Your Majesty for this favor!" "In the name of knighthood, I, York Smith, will defend Your Majesty's honor to the death."

Looking at the knights before him, Linko didn't take it seriously.

Furthermore, in order to clarify the current situation, Lin Ke nodded and said:

"Ah, very good."

"Well then, York, tell me about your situation and everything in this world and this era."

York was slightly taken aback by what he heard.

However, having just escaped death, he was too excited and didn't think much of it, immediately beginning to recount everything about himself and the world.

York was born into the Smith family of Galeshire, the Duchy of Silver Lions.

The Gale family was founded by York's grandfather ninety-two years ago when he was in his prime.

It was then passed down to his father, Eric Smith.

Eric Smith has three sons.

York was the youngest son of Baron Eric.

York's mother was a maid, a woman of low status, which naturally determined York's position in the Smith family.

Fortunately, Yorke has some talent, so his treatment isn't too bad. He also successfully became a full-fledged knight last year.

Thus, they were qualified to reclaim the wasteland.

After inquiring about York's ambitions, his father, Baron Eric, took the opportunity to apply to the Duke's mansion for a decree to allow him to clear land.

Thus, if York succeeds in clearing the land, he will become a lord, a baron, and have his own territory.

Reclaiming land is not easy, since reclaiming land means seizing the living space and territory of other tribes.

It's either from Warcraft or from another race.

Therefore, clearing land is very difficult.

Even if the land is successfully cleared temporarily, there is still an 80-90% chance that it will be destroyed later.

In short, while pioneering new land is not the same as courting death, it is not much different.

However, for the illegitimate sons of various noble families, those who want to break free from the restrictions of the family head, or even those who want to expand and strengthen their noble families, pioneering is unavoidable.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the continued support of the original noble family is absolutely essential for successfully developing new lands and ensuring the survival of the territory.

Therefore, York, a headstrong young man who insisted on pioneering the land without the support of his family, is quite unique.

Of course, this does not mean that the Baron Smith family did not want to expand their family or that they did not want York to succeed in pioneering.

However, for a baronial family, the cost of clearing land was simply too high.

The Smith family simply cannot afford it.

Therefore, from the very beginning, York's pioneering efforts were not favored or welcomed by anyone.

However, York was determined to succeed, not giving up until he hit a brick wall, all for his mother and to marry the second daughter of another viscount.

in this way.

Two hours passed by the time York finished recounting everything he and the world knew.

Lin Ke pondered.

Regarding the current situation, and everything in this world.

He was thinking about how to deal with it.

Then, the next moment, under York's expectant and excited gaze, Linko spoke again.

"York, my servant."

“You did not try to deceive me, which is good. Therefore, you have won my favor. Now I will grant you this land of the swamp as your territory.”

York was overjoyed to hear what Link said.

So he immediately began to excitedly kowtow again.

"Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty! Praise be to Your Majesty for your generosity!"

"In the name of the knight, York Smith and his descendants will serve you forever!"

"Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you next?"

York knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he immediately asked the question in a clever manner.

Looking at the knight before him, Lin Ke smiled knowingly, and then said:

“My servant, there is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to recruit your people as soon as possible and build up this territory.”

"To procreate and strengthen the family, this is the divine decree I have given you!"

"As for the public statement, that's up to you."
