The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 121 The Truth of War

After putting up his mother's huge floor-length painting, Sean walked out of the Earl's Mansion.

When he came, many people "welcomed" him.

Whether they were kind or malicious.

When he left, no one stopped him.

Old John wanted to dissuade him at first, but after Sean said a few words with telepathy, John opened his mouth and finally sighed.

The senior knight attendant Glenar also felt that Sean could not be allowed to leave like this.

But the hysterical roar of the countess after she came to her senses and the cold and indifferent look when Sean left made Glenar shudder.

He was not afraid of Sean's strength, but was a little intimidated by Sean's eyes.

Similar eyes, Legna did not know how many times he had seen on the earl.

Although the earl was a powerful and respected nobleman, those who were familiar with the earl knew that he was also a moody person whose mind was difficult for outsiders to grasp.

However, in most cases, Earl Grant is still relatively approachable on the surface.

Only when he is angry, people will feel that even the air has lowered its temperature.

Passing through the numerous rockery, gardens and the luxurious Earl's Castle, Sean knew that this prosperity did not actually belong to him.

When Sean walked to the stone bridge connecting the Earl's Castle, a team of dusty knights appeared in front of him.

This is an elite knight team of 20 people.

What is eye-catching is that these 20 knights have the strength of intermediate servants or above.

Including the black horses they ride, it seems that they are not ordinary breeds. A sharp claw on the horse's hoof indicates that these black horses have a trace of Warcraft bloodline.

Appearing at the front of this knight team is a noble man wearing purple armor and a red cloak.

At the first sight of the other party, Sean determined the other party's identity.

Including the noble man!

In addition to the reminder of the blood tracing magic mastered by Sean, more importantly, the two of them look too similar!

No wonder the captain of the east gate of Grant City mistook Sean for the Earl.

Same hair color, similar height, 80% similar faces, even their temperaments in silence are 70% similar.

If there is a difference, Sean's eyes are like

his mother, and the small difference in face and temperament is mainly the lack of the Earl's knightly masculinity.

Sean has more rationality and calm temperament.

Earl Grant is stronger than Sean. Although the other party has not yet reached the level of a knight above level one, he is already a quasi-knight.

How old is Earl Grant this year?

When he and Lady Catherine gave birth to Sean, Earl Grant was only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old noble youth, that is, he is only in his early forties this year.

Forty years old is a hurdle for many knight attendants.

Although they are protected by the power of fighting spirit, especially those knight attendants above the senior level, they can basically live to the age of eighty or ninety, or even a hundred years old.

But it is undeniable that after reaching their peak at around 45 years old, the strength and potential of these knights' attendants will irreversibly degenerate with the increase of lifespan and aging of physique every year.

Not to mention, some knights' attendants suffered irreversible hidden injuries and old injuries in the early years of the war, which will accelerate their aging and decline.

On the contrary, magicians are getting stronger with age.

The older the spellcaster is, the more knowledge he has and the more truth he has mastered.

Under the premise that knowledge is power, no one will look down on an old spellcaster.

On the contrary, they will think that old spellcasters are generally more reliable than those young spellcasters.

Earl Grant has the foundation of the Earl's family as a support. Although he did suffer a lot of serious injuries in his early years, he basically recovered later.

At the age of just over 40, he has reached the level of a quasi-knight.

According to convention and the potential shown by Earl Grant in previous years, there is at least a 60% chance of being promoted to a formal knight in the future.

60% is already an extremely high number.

And after being promoted to the first level or above, it will be another opportunity and world.

Having a lifespan limit of nearly a thousand years is just one of them.

More importantly, only by reaching the first level or above, these knight attendants and magician apprentices in the wizard world can touch the "essence" of the world.

Only then can they understand what is the "wizard world" and what is the "wizard civilization"?

The Grant family has a deep foundation. As the head of the family, Earl Grant has actually been roughly exposed to part of the essence and truth of this world many years ago.

For example, the long-term war between the Lycian Alliance and the Kingdom of West France and the Oak Empire.

After Earl Grant was promoted to a senior knight attendant at the age of 23, he used family relationships to understand why the three major human kingdoms have been fighting for many years.

In the Lycian Alliance, as long as the noble rank reaches Viscount or above, the family origin will not be too simple.

As long as you become a family head or reach a certain level, you can get access to relevant secrets.

Only tens of millions of civilians and low-level knight attendants in the kingdom don't know the truth.

They just think that the war broke out because of the long-standing grievances between the three human kingdoms.

And they also regard war as an important way to get promoted and make money.

It is true that some low-level knight attendants were granted titles during the war, but if statistics are taken, it will be found that those who were granted titles during the war had to reach the lowest level of senior knight attendants.

And in general, the noble titles would not be too high.

In the Lycian Alliance, "Lord" and "Knight" are the most commonly granted titles.

Generally, senior attendants who performed outstandingly in the war would be granted "Knight", and those who reached the level of quasi-knights would be granted "Lord".

And if they can go one step further and reach the level of life above the first level that breaks through the limits of mortals, then the real noble title will be waiting for them.

As the first generation of nobles who founded a family, Viscount is the lowest standard.

The Grant family, as an earl family, can only mean one thing.

This family once gave birth to knights above the first level, and there may even be more than one.

As for whether there are higher levels, it is unknown, because Sean has been away from home for many years and has no idea of ​​the family secrets.

However, his father, Earl Grant, inherited the position of the head of the family early, and he is also the main line of the direct line, so he should know more.

"Where are you going?" Earl Grant, holding a whip, quietly looked at Sean on the stone bridge.

In fact, Earl Grant brought more people with him to the city of Skouerwei for a pre-war meeting.

But after hearing about his eldest son Sean suddenly appearing in the family territory, Earl Grant immediately left the large army behind and rushed back with only his twenty attendants and guards.

These black war horses with the blood of magic beasts, with beads of sweat rolling down their bodies, indicated how intense the exercise they had experienced before.
