MC's career as foreign lord

When Zhou Ren opened his eyes again, the blue sun in the sky told him that he was no longer on Earth.

He took off his hood, shielded his eyes with his hand, and looked up at the sky again, needing to confirm whether his guess was correct.

"A blue sun? If it's a blue giant, judging by this distance, I should already be vaporized!" Zhou Ren said. As an astronomy enthusiast, he knew a lot about the properties of blue giants.

This sun was so huge, and the heat it emitted was naturally extremely alarming. Under these circumstances, life shouldn't exist.

Then he suddenly reacted, realizing that now was not the time to think about these things. "Where am I?"

Zhou Ren straightened up. He hadn't felt it just now, but now that he stood up, he felt a sense of dizziness. This sunlight was a bit toxic!

As he continued to walk forward, a rather large town appeared before him. Citizens with pale faces and merchants with prosperous complexions walked on the road, stirring up clouds of dust, making the entire sky somewhat hazy.

In addition to these people, there were also some eye-catching crowds. They wore different colored armor or leather armor, holding swords, sabers, bows, and crossbows, swaggering in the middle of the road, with a sense of disregard for others, looking very arrogant.

Somewhat surprisingly, Zhou Ren could understand their words. It was a strange language, somewhere between English and Latin, with accents from different regions, but he could generally understand it.

In fact, his standing at the entrance of this town was also very eye-catching, but for some reason, whether it was merchants, civilians, or even those who looked like mercenaries, they all consciously made way after seeing Zhou Ren, letting him stand in the middle of the road.

"Excuse me, do you need any help, sir?" A somewhat timid voice rang out, causing Zhou Ren to turn his head.

He saw a man dressed very plainly, but his clothes were very clean, walking up to him. To avoid obstructing his view, he even half-squatted, asking very humbly.

"Sir?" Zhou Ren was stunned. He looked at his own attire and suddenly remembered that before the accidental time travel, he was preparing to attend a comic convention, and the costume he had chosen was... Ravenclaw!

(Ravenclaw: In the Harry Potter world, the attire of Ravenclaw House, representing wind and wisdom)

Could this be the reason why the other party called him 'sir'? Zhou Ren guessed. He put on his hood again, and his whole person was immediately hidden in the darkness, which, in the other party's eyes, made him even more unpredictable.

This action of his made the awe in the other party's eyes even stronger, and when he took out a short wooden stick from his pocket, the people around him hurriedly retreated, wanting to stay away from him.

There was no other reason. The current Zhou Ren looked a bit too scary. The exquisite cloak was obviously made of high-grade fabric, a fabric that even the noble lords in the town rarely wore. His family crest was embroidered on his left chest, and the fleeting glimpse of black hair only served to prove his identity.

Such a person was either rich or noble, and they didn't want to get into trouble, so they usually avoided them from afar.

Henry was a little regretful for a moment. As a guide, he had rushed forward at the first moment, wanting to take down this noble young master while his colleagues were not paying attention, so that he would have food for the day.

But looking at Zhou Ren's contemplative appearance, he immediately became nervous. This young man's behavior didn't look like a nobleman, but more like... a professional.

Just as he hesitated and was thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to leave, Zhou Ren also came back to his senses from his contemplation and tentatively opened his mouth, "What's your name?"

As soon as he spoke, Zhou Ren found that he was actually speaking their language, a language that was strangely accented but very fluent.

"I am a guide in this area. You can call me Henry," he said. "I see that you don't seem to have any goals, sir. Where are you going?"

At this moment, Henry also strengthened his belief. Anyway, he was alone and had nothing to fear. If he guessed correctly, the days of soaring to success would be today!

He looked at Zhou Ren, who was not moving, and became even more convinced of his judgment. Black hair, fair skin, plus noble clothes, this was a person that even the noble lords in the city had to treat with caution. Even the mercenaries in the town obediently made way after seeing this sir?

But Zhou Ren, the noble lord in his eyes, after he asked a question, only responded with a sound, and then began a confusing operation.

He seemed to be somewhat surprised by his hands, curiously tapping the stone in front of him, and then stopped tapping when the stone seemed to have a slight crack, touching his chin, saying some incomprehensible words.

Wait! Henry seemed to have found a blind spot. He rubbed his eyes hard. Wait, if he wasn't mistaken, under the tapping of this finely dressed young man, the stone was about to crack!

But when Henry looked at the stone again, he found that there were no cracks at all. It was still intact, only the young man was still holding the small wooden stick in his hand, tapping the stone lightly.

As one of the few famous personal guides in the city, Henry's greatest skill was recognizing people and being bold. He could clearly know the other party's value and the advantages he could bring to the other party.

When the young man appeared here just now, he decisively stepped forward. At this time, making an impression in a stranger's mind was much more important than any other time. Sure enough, he saw this young noble turn his back to the town and take out a magical tool.

"Crack!" With a soft sound, a cluster of blue flames appeared in front of Henry, and then was quickly extinguished by the young man! "It can still be used, which means that at least the physical rules of this world are similar!"

He said such words, but saw the man beside him shaking uncontrollably, as if he had a sudden epileptic seizure, which made him confused.

"Hey, Henry? Are you okay?" Zhou Ren could feel that at the moment he spoke, the other party trembled imperceptibly again, revealing a smile that he thought was very humble.

"Yes, sir!" He bowed his body completely to hide the excited and somewhat ecstatic expression on his face!

At the moment he saw the flame, he knew he had bet right!

The young noble dared to come to a remote town like Pine Leaf Town alone, so naturally, he must have some ability. However, he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly!

He was not just a noble lord; judging from certain aspects, he was more likely a rare professional lord!

Thinking of this, he bowed even lower. Such a lord, who might be a professional, was here. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he probably wouldn't forgive himself!

"Your servant, Henry, is at your service!" he said loudly, looking at Zhou Ren with fervent eyes.

Zhou Ren nodded, thoughtfully looking at the stick in his hand. He put it into his black robe's pocket and subtly touched the badge on his chest, saying, "Take me into the town to have a look!"

"Yes, sir!" Henry shouted loudly, as if wanting to display his image to the fullest. Then, he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

Zhou Ren keenly felt that when he put down the wooden stick, at least three different gazes locked onto him at once. "When did I become so sensitive?" He shook his head and followed Henry.

Everyone who saw the two of them coming subconsciously took two steps back, seeming unwilling to interact with them. Zhou Ren's clothes seemed very intimidating; the deep, noble attire showed his extraordinary status.

Zhou Ren looked at the ragged people. Most of them looked pale, seemingly not living very well, completely different from another group who looked radiant and well-fed. However, in front of Henry, no matter who it was, they all stepped aside when they saw the two of them approaching.

He knew the principle that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Even if he inexplicably possessed special abilities, he still had to act cautiously in the face of such an unfamiliar world.

Zhou Ren couldn't help but think of his own experience. Before going to the Comic-Con, Zhou Ren chose to play Minecraft to pass the time. Halfway through, he accidentally turned on the old XBOX next to him. After hearing a slight burning sound, he had already lost consciousness.

What's this, punishment from Microsoft? Could it be that some HIM hidden in the dark finally couldn't stand my bad habit of playing pirated games and jumped out to punish me? But I bought the genuine version! It's just that the internet is not good and I can't play it.

Zhou Ren casually complained in his heart. He followed behind Henry, the small wooden stick reappearing in his hand, but his attention was completely focused on what was in front of him.

In a place invisible to others, in the world before his eyes, it was not a dusty road, but a world where everything had become somewhat data-driven. The tall trees turned into square trees in his eyes, and the people on the street even turned into square heads, one grid at a time.

Of course, this consciousness didn't actually affect him too much. He quickly recovered from this special intertwined accidental state, and the wooden stick in his hand suddenly disappeared!

It was at this moment that Zhou Ren felt those several malicious gazes quietly withdraw, and Henry in front had already turned his head, with a searching look on his face.

"Sir, we have arrived in town. Where would you like to go first?"

Zhou Ren glanced around. The town was not big. Their current location could be considered the center of the town. A tall administrative hall was located here, surrounded by scattered shops and private residences. Some commoners were setting up stalls in the corners of the street, not very lively. Only two tall buildings had relatively dense crowds.

Seeing Zhou Ren's gaze fixed on the tall building, Henry explained in a timely manner, "Today is Blessing Day, so there are more people at the church!"

Zhou Ren was stunned. This was actually a church? There was a crescent moon at the top of the church, and several people wearing blue cloaks were standing by the door in front of the church, leading the people into the building.

The other building was much rougher, with the crooked words "Market" written on it. Zhou Ren didn't know if he understood correctly, but that was roughly the meaning.

Henry continued, "If you want to stay here for a long time, sir, you can go to the Pine Leaf Tavern to book a room first, but you have to be quick, because there have been quite a few mercenaries coming these past two days, and it might be booked up soon."

"Mercenaries?" Zhou Ren asked curiously.

"The town chief wants to eliminate a pack of gnolls entrenched on the north side of the town, so he set up a bounty at the Mercenary Guild in Val City. This group of gnolls came smelling the scent!" Henry said, confidently meeting the gaze of a team of mercenaries walking by.

His confidence came from the black-robed teenager behind him. Zhou Ren still had a leisurely appearance, nodding and saying, "In that case, take me to find an uninhabited tree!"

"An uninhabited tree?" Henry asked in confusion. "Apart from the trees in the town, all the trees outside are uninhabited!"

Pine Leaf Town itself was a remote town, so there was no concept of ownership for the plants and trees outside.

"The young masters of wealthy families are indeed different. Could it be that every plant and tree in the city has an owner? It's truly hard to imagine!" Henry could only guess this way. As an ordinary commoner for generations, he found it hard to imagine the lives of noble lords in the city.

Passing by a tavern, Zhou Ren could even see the arms of a courtesan reaching out from the window, but the two of them still didn't stop and hurried past.

Henry led the way in front. After passing through sparse farmland, they arrived in front of a tree. Henry consciously retreated, it seemed that this rumored professional lord was finally going to display his abilities!

Zhou Ren walked to the front of the tree, thoughtfully raising his hand. Although he had done it many times in the game, this was indeed his first time in reality!

Left hand clenched into a fist, he gently tapped the tree in front of him. As his fist increased in strength, white, square-shaped cracks gradually appeared on the tree, which made Henry widen his eyes. Could this be the special ability of a professional?

However, this situation didn't last long. Zhou Ren continued to tap the wood, seemingly because his fist was too light, the spread of these cracks was not fast, but they were still continuing to spread very stubbornly, until the cracks spread to the entire tree trunk, and then, a huge piece of wood floated in front of the two of them.

Henry clenched his fist. This was a professional? As expected, they possessed power that ordinary people could not master at all!

Wait, the lord knocked down the middle section of the tree, what about the big tree on top?
