Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Alexandrine, who was full of expectations, felt a little disappointed when she heard Lin Shangzhou mention "Don Quixote", but she didn't care too much.

After receiving the reply from the German Emperor, Lin Shangzhou began to search for other adventure novels in his mind. After thinking for a few seconds, he thought of "The Lord of the Rings".

If we look at it from the perspective of "adventure", then "The Lord of the Rings" can be said to be a very good adventure novel, but he has only seen the movie and has not read the original novel, and the worldview of The Lord of the Rings is too vast to be told well if one is not careful, so he needs time to organize the memories in his mind, and this organization takes some time.

He could put off telling the Kaiser about "The Lord of the Rings" until later. Now he had to think about other options, and soon he set his sights on a game he had played before - "Dark Souls".

Should he transform his favorite game series, the Dark Souls, into a story and tell it to the Kaiser, or should he choose another literary form that he is most familiar with: online novels?

Seeing that Lin Shangzhou stopped talking, Alexandrine asked casually: "Fritts, have you thought of any good stories?"

Hearing the Kaiser's urging (Lin Shangzhou thought so himself), he decided to tell the Kaiser Dark Souls in the form of a story. He liked the series very much and had done some research on the background and story. He had played each work for hundreds of hours and could smoothly transform them into the form of a story. If the Kaiser didn't like it, he would change to something else.

"Your Majesty, the story I am going to tell you is called "Dark Soul"."

After hearing the name "Dark Soul", the German Emperor became interested, and Cecilia next to him also became interested in this story.

"'Dark Souls'? I've never heard of this name. What is this 'Dark Souls' you are talking about?"

Alexandrine asked curiously.

Lin Shangzhou answered without hesitation:

“A story of an unknown man becoming a king.”

"An unknown person becomes a king? It sounds interesting. Tell me more!"

At the Kaiser's urging, he cleared his throat and spoke slowly:

"In ancient times, the world was shrouded in thick fog. In this gloomy world there were only hard rocks, towering trees, and ancient dragons..."

He told the Kaiser the contents of Dark Souls 1 bit by bit. Alexandrine was soon attracted by the content she had never heard before. Cecilia beside her also felt it was very novel, but she did not listen as seriously as her sister. She could tell that Lin Shangzhou's storytelling skills were far inferior to his uncle Lin Yangyu, but the novelty of the story made up for this shortcoming.

"The Nameless One walked through the corridor and looked at the huge black-armored knight who was blocking his way. He had the thought of retreating. It was impossible for him to cause any harm to the opponent with just his weapon..."

Lin Shangzhou's voice stopped abruptly, and the car stopped at this moment.

Seeing that Lin Shangzhou didn't want to continue, Alexandrine urged him, "Tell me quickly, did the Nameless One fight with the Black-Armored Knight? Did he win?"

Cecilia, who was standing by, sighed at her sister, patted her shoulder and said to her, "Your Majesty, we are at the library."

Hearing Cecilia's words, Alexandrine immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

"How come it's here so soon? I'm still waiting to hear the rest of the story!"

"It's okay, Your Majesty. I'll tell you the rest of the story on the way back."

Lin Shangzhou turned and said to the German Emperor.

"Well... let's go, Cecilia."

Alexandrine twisted her body a few times in dissatisfaction and got out of the car.

Lin Shangzhou saw through the car window that the German Emperor walked into the library accompanied by several staff members. He then opened the door and got out to breathe the fresh air outside.

He leaned against the car door and looked around at the street scene. There were no tall buildings around the library, and there were not many vehicles and pedestrians. Occasionally, a few passers-by looked at him and the car behind him curiously.

(The traffic was restricted so that passers-by would not disturb the Kaiser.)

Lin Shangzhou thought that what he thought was correct. Every morning or afternoon when the German Emperor went to the library, the police would come early to the vicinity of the library to restrict traffic.

After watching for a while, he felt bored. Having seen the big cities of the 21st century, this big city of the 1920s and 1930s was just a novelty to him. It became boring after watching it for a long time.

And there were no pedestrians, so just looking at the street was boring.

After a while, he heard footsteps coming towards him, so he turned his head and saw Cecilia walking towards him with a bottle of Coca-Cola.

"Lady Cecilia."

"Here, this is for you. I see you haven't brought any water with you after talking all this time. You must be very thirsty."

"Thank you."

Lin Shangzhou looked at the Coca-Cola handed to him in surprise. He was indeed very thirsty after talking all the way without stopping. While taking the glass bottle, he was thinking about bringing a water bottle next time.

"If you want to thank someone, thank my sister. But it's okay if you thank me. I was planning on buying you something to drink anyway even if she didn't say anything."

The cap of the Coke bottle had been opened, which saved Lin Shangzhou the trouble of opening the cap. He drank half the bottle of Coke in one gulp, and the feeling of thirst disappeared.

Standing next to Lin Shangzhou, Cecilia asked curiously: "Your story is very interesting. I have never heard of anything like it. Did you come up with it yourself?"

Lin Shangzhou put the glass bottle on the hood of the car and thought about how to answer this question. Should he say that it was created by himself or answer truthfully that it was created by a Japanese?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Shangzhou replied: "It was created by someone else, but I forgot who the author was."

"That's it."

Cecilia nodded slightly, and after chatting with Lin Shangzhou for a while, she returned to the library. Her departure made Lin Shangzhou fall into a boring waiting time again.

At around twelve o'clock, Alexandrine and Cecilia came out of the library and then returned to the Sans Souci Palace.

Chapter 6 Leisurely Work

On the way back to Wuyou Palace, Cecilia stopped Lin Shangzhou from telling stories to the German Emperor, saying that "if you continue to tell her stories, she won't be able to concentrate on studying in the afternoon", which made Alexandrine very unhappy.

After returning to the Palace of Worship, the German Emperor and Cecilia went straight to dinner. Lin Shangzhou planned to go home directly because the Emperor had no plans to travel in the afternoon. When he was about to drive away, the maid came to stop him and told her that the German Emperor wanted him to stay in the Palace of Worship in the afternoon and continue to tell her stories after she finished her lessons.

Unable to refuse, Lin Shangzhou had to get out of the car and go to the lounge, where the maid pushed his lunch to him.

(The emperor still needs to learn...)

Lin Shangzhou complained in his heart while eating, but think about it, the Kaiser is not yet an adult, and now is the right age for her to study. If it weren't for the accident five years ago, she would not be the emperor now but a student.

After lunch, Lin Shangzhou asked the maid for a notebook and a pen. He wanted to write down his thoughts about the story of "Dark Soul". After all, ideas will always be forgotten, and writing them down will ensure that they will not disappear.

More than an hour later, Lin Shangzhou put down his pen and stretched his sore wrists. He picked up the notebook with satisfaction and looked at the contents. He wrote down everything from the time the Nameless Man woke up in the Northern Undead Asylum to the time he rang the two bells. All that was left was to tell it to the German Emperor.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Please come in."

Lin Shangzhou turned his head and saw a maid coming in. She was the maid who brought him here in the morning. Judging from the maids' attitude towards her, she seemed to be the head maid.

The head maid walked to the sofa and said to Lin Shangzhou:

"Mr. Fritz, His Majesty the Emperor said that if you feel bored, you can take a walk around the Sans Souci Palace. You can visit all other places except the rooms of the two adults."

"Okay, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor."

After conveying the emperor's order, the head maid left. Lin Shangzhou sat on the sofa and looked at the notebook on the table. He thought for a few seconds and then closed it. He had been writing for more than an hour. What he had written was enough to tell the German emperor. He would write more after returning home tonight.

Lin Shangzhou stood up and walked out of the lounge, and began to wander around the Wuyou Palace. Although there were many sculptures, famous paintings and other works of art in the Wuyou Palace, he was not interested in them. At most, he would look at a work of art that he thought was beautiful for a while.

After walking in the corridor for a while, he thought of finding someone to act as a tour guide, but when he saw that the maids were busy at work, he gave up the idea. They were all working, so there was no need to disturb them.

In order to avoid accidentally breaking into the boudoir of the German Emperor and Cecilia, Lin Shangzhou left the palace and came to the square outside.

In front of the Sanssouci Palace is a wide square, in front of which are layers of lawns and gardens as well as vineyards with hanging grapes.

There were several gardeners clearing weeds and trimming grass on the lawn and in the garden. Lin Shangzhou sat on a bench beside the path and watched the gardeners working. Because the distance was a bit far, it took him a while to see clearly that the gardeners were women.

Then he noticed one thing: he seemed to have not seen any male servants since he came to Wuyou Palace.

He turned his head and looked around in confusion. There were maids pushing carts passing in front of the palace, there were maids pushing carts with refreshments towards the gate, there were maids walking to the other side of the garden with clothes in her arms. No matter where they were, there were maids everywhere, and the work was done by maids. There was not a single male servant.

After looking around and not seeing any man except himself, Lin Shangzhou was sure that there were no other men in Wuyou Palace except himself and the four guards at the door.

This didn't surprise him too much. It wasn't strange that the Queen and Cecilia didn't want to use male servants. However, he found it quite funny knowing some anecdotes about the Worship Palace.

"The 'Palace without a Wife' has now become the 'Palace without a Husband'."

Lin Shangzhou muttered softly that the palace built during the reign of Frederick the Great did not allow women to enter for a long time, so it was also called the "Palace without Women". Now, no men appear here, and it has become the "Palace without Husbands".

Lin Shangzhou felt bored after sitting on the chair for a while. He turned his head and saw the car parked in front of the Wuyou Palace. He decided to wipe the car. So he asked the maid for a towel and a basin of water, took off his coat and put it on the chair, and came to the car with the basin of water, and wiped the dust off the car with a towel.

This simple task was completed quickly. After the maid took away the basin, Lin Shangzhou fell into boredom again. He returned to his chair to admire the beautiful scenery of Wuyou Palace, and sighed in his heart at the ease of this job.

The emperor was easy to get along with. The little girl-like empress did not bring him any pressure. His job was just driving the emperor here and there, which was very easy. Although he did not know how much his salary was, it must not be low judging from the fact that his uncle was able to buy a house and add other furniture after driving for a year.

This is a job that everyone envies!

He happily crossed his legs, closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed this leisurely afternoon.

"Click"

Lin Shangzhou inexplicably heard a slight sound, which was so small that he didn't pay any attention to it. Then the creaking sound of wheels made him open his eyes, and he saw a maid pushing a cart towards him with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Fritz, I'm here to bring you afternoon tea."

The maid stopped beside Lin Shangzhou and said to him that the arrival of afternoon tea made Lin Shangzhou feel flattered. He turned his head to look at the Worry-Free Palace behind him, but did not see Cecilia behind the window.

"You don't have to look at it. This is my own idea. After delivering afternoon tea to the guards at the door, there was some left. I saw that you were resting here, so I simply brought it to you."

Looking at Lin Shangzhou who turned his head away, the maid smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.

"That's it...thank you."

After hearing what the maid said, Lin Shangzhou's flattered feeling disappeared instantly, leaving only a slight disappointment.

The maid brought over biscuits and black tea. To be honest, compared to these, Lin Shangzhou would rather try German beer and sausages. But after all, it was afternoon tea, and there were some leftovers, so he shouldn't ask for too much.

While Lin Shangzhou was leisurely having afternoon tea, a maid not far away put the small device in her hand into her pocket, and no one noticed her action.

A few minutes later, the maid left with the cart. Lin Shangzhou only drank a cup of tea and ate a biscuit. He didn't think much about the maid's initiative to bring him afternoon tea, and he forgot what the "click" sound was.

After sitting on the bench for a while longer he returned to his lounge.

It was not until nearly 6:30 in the afternoon that Lin Shangzhou received the news that the Kaiser had finished his studies. After knowing this news, he followed the maid who came to inform him to the Kaiser's office.

When he walked into the room, he saw the impatient Kaiser and Cecilia sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Fritts, come here quickly, come here quickly, I'm waiting for you to tell me the rest of the story, hurry up."

The Kaiser walked quickly out from behind his desk and sat next to Cecilia, while Lin Shangzhou sat opposite them.

After organizing his thoughts, he began to tell the German Emperor the subsequent story.

"After a long hesitation, the Nameless One clenched his sword tightly and bravely attacked the black-armored knight who was half a body taller than him..."

As the story was told, Cecilia closed the book in her hand and listened quietly to Lin Shangzhou's story. The maid who brought him here was also immersed in this novel story.

Ten minutes later, the maid approached Cecilia and whispered something in her ear. After getting Cecilia's consent, she left. Lin Shangzhou didn't care about this situation. He thought the maid might have gone to the toilet.

Half an hour passed, and the story of the Nameless Man had not progressed much before it was about to end. Because it was time for dinner, Lin Shangzhou had to leave the room under Alexandrine's reluctant gaze.

Because the German Emperor would go to bed soon after dinner, Lin Shangzhou got in his car and planned to go home.

After getting in the car, Lin Shangzhou thought about what he had experienced today. How should he put it? He felt it was wonderful. He had completely adapted to the time travel and the life here.

Starting the car, Lin Shangzhou drove out of Wuyou Palace and returned home along the same road he took in the morning.

After opening the door, he saw that his uncle had prepared a table full of food waiting for him.

When Lin Yangyu saw his nephew open the door and walk in, he hurriedly stood up and walked to his side and helped him take off his coat despite Lin Shangzhou's obstruction.

"Shang Zhou, you're back. Come eat quickly. I specially cooked your favorite dishes to celebrate your first day at work."

Lin Shangzhou looked at Lin Yangyu, who was full of concern, and waited for several seconds before he said softly, "Well, let's eat, uncle."

After dinner, Lin Yangyu took a package from the table nearby. Lin Shangzhou noticed the package when he walked in, but didn't ask what it was.

"Shang Zhou, didn't you say you were tired of listening to those jazz songs recently? This is the new record I bought for you. Listen to it before going to bed at night. I think you will sleep well."

Lin Yangyu opened the package, took out a box and opened the box in front of Lin Shangzhou, letting him look at the record inside.

Taking the box from his uncle, Lin Shangzhou looked at the black record in the box, and a sense of happiness suddenly surged in his heart. His eyes became moist at this moment. In the twenty years of his life before he traveled through time, no relative was willing to buy things for him due to family reasons. But now, the "uncle" who he had only met a few times gave him a box of records.

Although he knew that the record Lin Yangyu bought was not for him but for "Lin Shangzhou", he still felt touched and happy.

During the meal, Lin Shangzhou was surprised to find that Lin Yangyu did not ask him any questions. He thought Lin Yangyu would ask him how his work was going, what he thought of the Emperor, and whether he encountered anything new today.

Lin Yangyu didn't ask, and Lin Shangzhou didn't intend to take the initiative to talk about his experience today.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after washing up, Lin Shangzhou came to his room. There was a phonograph on the table by the window in the room. Lin Shangzhou walked over and took down the record, put a new record on it and started the phonograph to play music.

Accompanied by melodious and relaxing jazz music, Lin Shangzhou sat in a chair and began to perfect the story behind "Dark Soul". Half an hour later, Lin Shangzhou found himself sleepy, so he closed his notebook and lay down on the bed. Not long after, he fell asleep.
