I, the heir of the great Eastern nation
Chapter 7 As an envoy of the Han Dynasty! I was still too modest!
night.
In the spacious and bright room, Liu Zhao sat at his desk, flipping through one book after another that Baron Karl had sent him.
"Chronicles of the Holy Light Continent", "The Great Kingdom of Os", "Celestial Dragons - The Most Perfect Race in the World", "The Romantic Affairs of Grand Magister Hans", "The Complete Guide to Noble Etiquette"...
Looking at the pile of books on the table, Liu Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, when he asked Baron Karl for books, one reason was to understand the current world situation, but more importantly, he wanted to see if he could get his hands on a book or two similar to a "beginner's guide to magic".
If one could take this opportunity to learn magic or martial arts and master extraordinary power, that would be even better.
However, after glancing through the pile of books the other party had sent, Liu Zhao sighed helplessly.
He realized he had oversimplified things.
In Baron Karl's castle, apart from some biographies and novels, there were absolutely no books related to magic!
In one of the books that tells the history of the Kingdom of Os, where Baron Karl lived, there is a special mention of this content. It clearly records that apart from a few prominent super nobles and royalty, only the teachers of the four major magic academies have the right to teach magic knowledge.
If someone is found to be teaching this technique without authorization, the most serious offender will be sentenced to death.
Even outside of magic, books on many other areas of knowledge were strictly controlled and prohibited from being read by anyone other than nobles.
This is why there aren't many books in such a large baron's castle.
Upon learning this, Liu Zhao, who deeply regretted not being able to directly learn magic, couldn't help but sigh. The world's aristocratic class controlled the dissemination of knowledge so strictly that it was practically equivalent to completely extinguishing all hopes of advancement for those at the bottom.
"Damn, I thought this world was a semi-feudal society, similar to medieval Europe, where the lower classes had little chance of rising up. Now I realize I overestimated it. It's not even a feudal society; it's a complete caste system of slavery!"
In addition, Liu Zhao also learned some basic knowledge about World Protection.
Whether it's status-based or profession-based enhancements, there are clear levels, from lowest to highest: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, and Diamond.
Among these, one's birthright is a special privilege that is inherent at birth and is difficult for most people to change throughout their lives.
As for profession enhancement, it changes as the profession level increases after the promotion conditions are met.
"This identity system is somewhat similar to the caste system in India. Overall, it's pretty much what I guessed."
When Liu Zhao saw this, he subconsciously looked at the conspicuous title above his head.
The Heir to the Great Eastern Power
[Quality: Bronze]
"If I were in my hometown, as I became a civil servant and got promoted to the level of section chief and then division chief, perhaps the quality of this title of successor would have changed. Unfortunately, I don't know if I will be able to wait until that day."
Thinking of this sad thing, Liu Zhao couldn't help but sigh again.
He shook his head and continued reading.
Then, just as he was watching the history of the Kingdom of Os, and was getting drowsy from the incompetent infighting of the royal family, two inconspicuous little details suddenly caught his attention.
The first rule is: [Nobles are only permitted to be killed by nobles of the same or higher rank].
The second is: [Every child of a noble family must receive a blessing from a priest after birth, and then the priest will personally use divine magic to plant a special mark of vengeance on them. Any murderer who kills a noble will be marked with this mark of vengeance, and will be sensed by the relatives of the noble they killed, no matter where they are.]
The original text in the book says that the ancestors of nobles were all descendants of gods, with noble bloodlines, which was a gift and protection from the gods.
Upon seeing these two points, Liu Zhao was first stunned, then overjoyed.
His biggest worry was that his identity was too dubious and that he might be exposed and purged.
Once the Mark of Revenge was discovered, all such worries vanished instantly!
"Doesn't this mean that as long as I don't act too recklessly and truly offend a king, I'm unlikely to die under normal circumstances, given my status as a prince! After all, unless someone really doesn't want to live, no one would be indifferent to the punishment for breaking the law, let alone the precise revenge from a royal family!"
"Hiss~ I was thinking that the power granted by my identity was a bit too weak, but now that I see it, putting the abilities aside, the incredible sense of security that this title brings is the best!"
In his excitement, Liu Zhao couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Judging from this, isn't this exactly a "Han envoy"?
"I was saying that when I was being so outrageously rude at dinner, Baron Karl didn't even lose his temper. It turns out it wasn't that he was really good-tempered, but that he was genuinely afraid to offend me."
At this moment, after learning about yet another privilege of the world's nobility, Liu Zhao had a deeper understanding of the value of his title of "Prince".
As a prince, he had previously worried that his actions might have gone too far.
Looking back now, haha, it was indeed a bit excessive.
However, they've been a little too low-key.
I am an envoy of the Han Dynasty! The more high-profile you are, the safer you are!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhao relaxed completely.
He naturally had little interest in continuing to read the books scattered across the table.
After all, although he has already learned the official common language of this world, being able to speak it is one thing, but being able to read text without any pressure is another.
Compared to Chinese, which is entirely composed of square characters, the common language is a different language similar to Latin. To be honest, the difference in reading habits made Liu Zhao feel very awkward.
Therefore, after realizing that most of these books were only good for entertainment and could not provide him with much key information, Liu Zhao decisively stopped reading them.
After glancing at my phone, I realized it was still out of power and wouldn't turn on.
I don't want to think about it anymore!
Go to the big bed and have a good night's sleep!
Meanwhile, at the same time, while he was drifting off to sleep, Baron Karl and his wife Love were unable to sleep at all in their bedroom.
"My dear, after today's observations, what is your opinion of this prince?"
Baron Karl asked his wife this question.
Love frowned slightly, and after careful consideration, she slowly spoke.
"Well, although I've never been to the capital before, nor have I ever seen any members of the royal family, I've heard my elders talk a lot about the deeds of the royal family and nobles of our Kingdom of Os. Logically speaking, Your Highness should be no different from these people."
"However, in just the short time we spent together over dinner, I felt that His Highness possessed a quality that I had never heard of in either counts or princes."
Baron Karl looked curious.
"Oh? What is it?"
Love looked thoughtful and then gave a description that Karl had never expected.
"He seems very willing to share with others."
"Is there a kind of generosity and honesty that transcends ordinary people?"
