Fang Xin opened his eyes.
"Hannite Adin Knight, you're awake, are you alright?" Feeling someone supporting him, Fang Xin stood up and said calmly: "Nothing's wrong, just fell down."
Then he mounted his horse again, and the four attendants behind him saw that nothing was wrong, so they also got on their horses and started patrolling the territory.
Fang Xin couldn't help but be surprised, he had become Hannit again, and it was ten years later Hannit. The twenty-year-old young man from back then was now a mature knight of thirty years old.
Memories cleared up quickly, one by one absorbed. It turned out that Hanniet didn't die after I left ten years ago, but was actually praised for killing the Dark Knight and saving the village.
Fragments of memories floated by, Fang Xin's expression turned tense, and he hastily continued to read on, but then let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps due to the assimilation effect, Hanniet woke up clearly remembering what had happened and even gained some of Fangxin's memories, which greatly shocked and tensed Fangxin. However, upon further reflection, it turned out that they were just memories of the sword techniques used before, and would not know Fangxin's true thoughts.
Hannett, while recovering from his injuries with the title of hero, studied some sword techniques and ideas left by Fang Xin in his memories. Half a year later, he participated in the war against Count Bremen and established his merits. As a result, Sir Eli formally knighted him, gave him a manor and a piece of land nearby as a fief, with an area of about 5 square kilometers, and also had the surname Adin.
Now, as Hannett Knight, he performs the duties of a knight, surveying all territories - including his main house Eli Likkok's hereditary territory, about 50 square kilometers.
This is a small world composed of nobles and tenants, which can be verified by memories and things in front of one's eyes.
Hannett was uninterested, or perhaps just accustomed to such things, but to the other side it was most noteworthy; here, obviously, had once been a city, for occasional broken walls and ruined foundations proved this.
Although it was not explored how much area there is, it's clear that outside lies a vast expanse of desolate wilderness, which is extremely dangerous and filled with darkness and beasts.
It's clear from Fang Xin's analysis that all these are consequences of a war that happens once every decade.
The endless ten-year war of the Earl of Bremen led to a population that not only did not grow, but also dwindled, resulting in large tracts of wilderness and desolation. What will happen if this situation continues?
Darkness enveloped this small plane, and then fell into even deeper darkness.
As he thought of this, Fang Xin had already understood. He looked around and saw that the open fields were all around, while most of the houses were small earthen huts with a wooden structure. These huts used mud walls to support four or two sides, with a triangular wooden frame as the roof ridge, and the roof was mostly covered with thatch or straw. The mixture of clay, grass skin, etc. was poured into a wooden groove formed by two wooden boards, and then compacted by manpower. After it dried, the mold was removed to form a mud wall.
This is the tenant's house, they received protection from the lord, and the lord also obtained food and supplies.
The land is cultivated in a rough and simple way, with extensive farming. A two-field system is implemented, where the arable land is divided into two blocks, one for cultivation and the other for fallow, alternating annually. The tool used is called a "paishangbu" plow, which does not have a metal plowshare or plow wall, and can only break through the surface layer of the soil, unable to deep-plow, so intermittent manual digging and deep-turning are needed to achieve the purpose of deep-plowing.
The seeds sown, the harvest reaped is calculated, without exceeding 3:1, how low is this!
Thus everywhere there is famine and the threat of hunger, tenants work hard but are poorly clothed and inadequately fed, their faces pale with hunger, shivering with cold.
Once a year, at the New Year's festival, these wretched and desperate tenant farmers would often get drunk on coarse liquor, shouting loudly, laughing and crying under the influence of alcohol, like a group of evil spirits.
Fang Xin's face was expressionless as he rode his horse past them.
"Your Excellency?" The four attendants noticed the change in direction.
"Go to Mrs. Ellie's house!" Fang Xin said, in fact, Ellie's home was not far away, the five horses ran slowly for an hour and saw Ellie's town, passing through the town, it was a dirty little town, with feces all over the ground, as well as numb and tattered people, the five horses went straight to the stone house in the center.
Actually, Ellie's stone house was a very poor environment. To protect herself, the thick and high stone walls were almost like a castle, but basically similar. Due to security needs, there were generally no windows inside the stone house, which made it dark, cold, damp, and had extremely poor sanitation conditions with poor ventilation.
But at this time, Ellie Lycoris was very worried, although in the eyes of the tenants, as the lord, there were large barrels of wine and grain in the underground warehouse, and the treasury also had gold and silver, as well as all kinds of weapons.
But only she knew how hard it was, and the most frightening thing was that just as some recovery had been made, the war that came once every ten years was approaching again, which was unbearable for Elly Lickock who had been recovering her territory for a long time.
"Is my effort destined to be in vain?" Ellie Lico, who was buried in various accounts, looked up and glanced around. Although she was only 27 years old and still young, only she herself understood that she had already begun to grow old.
Just then, news came from the guards.
"Ah, dear Hannett Knight, how do you have time to visit me? I'm delighted, let's dine here today." Elly Lickock said with joy, now it wasn't his turn on duty.
"Dear madam!" Fang Xin stepped forward and kissed her hand: "I have come this time to discuss something with you."
"My dear brother-in-law, what's got you so busy?" Elly smiled, a smile that was tinged with coquetry, making her even more charming: "Perhaps we should go inside to talk?"
Fang Xin immediately understood what it meant. In fact, Elly and Harnett had already gotten together ten years ago when they were recovering from injuries. In Harnett's memory, there was still the full-bodied and moving figure of a young girl, along with her moans.
But the war ended, and although Harys was knighted, she married Nedryk's second son, Edric Dayne, for territorial considerations to counter the Dark Lord's plans. Meanwhile, Harys married her 14-year-old sister Igraine - from this perspective, this woman is really pitiful, of course, her husband is even more pitiful.
Neddy Derrick doesn't have the makings of a knight, and this isn't after all a peaceful era's noble world where there is no military might. Neddy Derrick who can't become a knight is actually just a standard stud horse, other things are simply not his concern.
Having no authority whatsoever, he couldn't even stop Elly and Hannett's almost open affair.
Fang Xin, with a man's perspective, looked at Ellie and saw a tall and slender young woman, although there were already fine wrinkles around her eyes, but her blue eyes still sparkled, especially with the large opening of her top, revealing her full and plump **.
Since that's the case, Fang Xin didn't mind tasting, and immediately kissed her again, one hand roughly reaching into her top, while the other hand reached to her waist.
Ellie giggled and kissed him on the mouth, her hand unexpectedly reaching out to touch Fang Xin's lower body. Although she knew from memory that she was very passionate in this regard, she didn't expect it to be like this.
They kissed for a long time, and in this room, she casually took off her clothes, exposing her snow-white skin, and Fang Xin also took advantage of the situation to pick her up and put her on the table. The room was filled with gasps and moans.
When all these were completely calm, Fang Xin gently pulled her up and dressed her. Originally, it would have ended like this at ordinary times, but just then, Ellie suddenly leaned against him and rested in his arms.
Without waiting for Fang Xin's response, he continued in a low voice: "Dear, let me lean on you for a while..."
Fang Xin suddenly felt the woman's body in his arms trembling, and then a little moisture seeped into his skin. Looking down, he saw crystal clear and icy cold tears sliding down from her skin.
In an instant, a sorrowful feeling of unknown origin filled Fang Xin's heart.
