The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 1 The Worst Times
The Sinnoh Empire, the Ordovician Kingdom, and the capital Triumph City.

"Darkness shrouded the sky of the empire. You are all sinners. You should have suffered pain and death. However, the Lord is merciful in the end. He entrusted His servants to bring hope to the lost lambs. You should believe in the Lord and cut off the money. Sin, offer an offering of faith, and the Lord will protect His people."

Beneath the ornate Carolingian octagonal structure of the Palatine Cathedral, the most famous masterpiece of Empire vaulting, priests with gospels chanted their teachings.

About a year ago, a wave of death swept across the entire continent. The god of death called the Black Death mercilessly harvested the lives of civilians and nobles, treating them equally, cruelly and ruthlessly.

The infected were ostracized and mutilated, their corpses clogged the river outside the city, and the uninfected were terrified all day long and had no intention of working.

Many small and medium-sized towns were unable to resist disasters, resulting in a near-complete paralysis of agriculture, handicrafts, industries, urban transportation, etc., and what's more, they had already been reduced to a dead city.

In comparison, as the capital of the kingdom, Triumph City at least maintains basic order.

The army stabilized the situation in the city by sealing off all infected persons and their families in slums on the edge of the city.

Therefore, it also attracted a large number of nobles and businessmen who were unable to protect themselves in the kingdom to come to take refuge.

Among them are fief nobles who gave up their territories, officials who survived dilapidated towns, and merchants who fled from their families.

And they all have one thing in common, without exception, they carry a lot of wealth.

The officials of Triumph City warmly accepted them, and the church even held a grand mass for them.

Under the Platinum Cathedral, around the priests, dozens of gorgeously dressed foreign nobles offered the gold and precious stones that had been prepared. 20 meters away, on the periphery stopped by the knights, thousands of people were dressed in short brown linen clothes. The civilians knelt on the ground and handed the only belongings they had to the nearby knights.

In return they were given a reasonably clean piece of communion bread.

As a member of the nobles in the city and a collateral child of the royal family, 16-year-old Ronan Ortausius was also invited to attend the mass.

At the moment he is sitting in the very center, at the very end of the seats provided for the royal family members to rest.

Ronan looked around, most of the people sitting around him were over 30 years old and bearded mature men, all of them were his uncles and seniors, and there were also a few teenagers who were of his generation, looking impatient Hatching.

What made him speechless was that his cheap father did not attend this important ceremony.

In order to avoid being gossiped by others, he had no choice but to sit in his seat obediently, dispelling the idea of ​​leaving early.

Leaning his head on the soft back of the chair, Ronan thought about his future plans.

He has traveled to this world for 16 years, from being confused at the beginning to being used to it now.

The good news is that he was born in the imperial family, and his uncle is the emperor of the empire.

Although his father had no real power, he still had the title of an honorary earl. The relationship between the two brothers was harmonious, and he married the daughter of a feudal earl. His status in the capital city of Triumph was not low.

Thanks to the selection of good genes from generation to generation in the family, he has an exquisite appearance in this life, with blond hair and purple eyes, and his appearance is not low.

For Ronan, the second son, the parents in this life can be regarded as caring, and it seems that it is not bad to be a nobleman waiting to die in this life.

The bad news is that this is a bad time, with medieval barbarism, the nobles are brutal and tyrannical, and the common people are numb and ignorant.In the Sinnoh Empire, which rules over half of the continent, there are constant disputes between the monarchy and theocracy, and there are many conflicts between the central and local governments.

This sudden disease has even blackened the color of the entire empire.

Even in the Ordovician Kingdom, which was directly ruled by the emperor, it was difficult to implement government orders, let alone other duchies and vassals within the empire.

After the catastrophe, there will be great chaos. The Black Death shattered the authority of the lords everywhere under the feudal rule, and it will bring pains that lasted for decades.

But it also allowed Ronan to see an opportunity.

The ruling class in the original empire has long since solidified, and all fiefdoms have their own owners, belonging to one carrot and one pit, unless you are the eldest son of a fief noble, it is possible to inherit the territory after your father dies.

Otherwise, there is basically no other way. This set of rules maintains the interests of all fief nobles and cannot be provoked at all.

But now it's different.

A large number of unowned lands were vacated, although according to the law of the empire, these lands could only be inherited by the descendants of the fiefdom nobles.

But the premise is that they are willing.

As far as Ronan knows, there are currently a large number of nobles who have fled from the city of Triumph and are selling their land.

The reason why this happens,

On the one hand, it was because the high cost of living in Triumph City made these foreign nobles unable to make ends meet.

On the other hand, after losing the fief nobles, it was difficult to implement the kingdom's government orders in these territories, which aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction and ordered all the fief nobles to return to the territory within three months.

The nobles who had been terrified by the Black Death had finally escaped to Triumph City, how could they be willing to go back?
Some of them had no choice but to sell their land.

The emperor also acquiesced in this behavior. As long as both parties to the transaction are nobles, sign an agreement under the witness of the city hall and the church, and pay taxes, the transaction will be announced.

Ronan is undoubtedly eligible, even though he is only the second son in the family, the family title has nothing to do with him.

But as early as the age of 12, he was bestowed the title of honorary baron by his uncle at the palace banquet held by the emperor, enjoying all the rights that nobility should have.

If according to the normal situation, it was just ordinary people traveling through time, Ronan would not have lost his mind and ran outside the city looking for death under such circumstances.

As a qualified traveler, he naturally has his own golden fingers.

It was a small game for developing wizards, which appeared in his mind after coming with him.

Ronan opened the game panel in his mind.

Name: Ronan Ortausius

Occupation: Wizard

Talent: Immortality

Specialty: Occult Studies
Level: lv1
Mana: 20/20 +1/hour
Unlocked knowledge: swordsmanship (sharpness -1/hour), riding and archery (mount enhancement -1/hour, automatic aiming -1/standard arrow), pharmacy (medicine enhancement -10/standard bottle)
Requirements for unlocking the next level: own a research workshop of your own
Wizards in this game are somewhat different from wizards in the traditional sense. They cannot allow people to release devastating and cool spells. Their abilities are reflected in talents and specialties.

The immortality in the talent is just immortality in the sense of the game, which means that he will not age or get sick, but he will still die if he is fatally injured.

And specialty, occult research.

This specialty allows a certain knowledge he has learned to appear on the panel of the unlocked knowledge after reaching a certain level, and then he can use magic power to endow it with a certain mysticism characteristic.

Just like swordsmanship, he has successfully unlocked it through several years of unremitting knight training. He can spend 1 point of magic power to make the weapon in his hand gain sharpness for one hour.

Even if he was holding a wooden stick, he could easily cut through metal and split rock.

Other traits unlocked by lore are also taken literally.

Cavalier training has been the focus of his time spent the most in recent years. After all, if he wants to live for a long time these days, he must be able to fight and run.

As far as being able to fight, it has always been that those who punch cannot beat those who hold swords, and those who hold swords cannot beat those who draw bows.

Not to mention being able to run, two legs are only worthy of eating ashes behind four legs.

The only pity is that, whether it is because of the wizard profession, he has been unable to learn the knight breathing method in this world for a long time, and cannot master the local extraordinary power.

On the contrary, it was pharmacy, which was successfully unlocked by accident.
