Castle bathroom
In a small room similar to the steaming room in the previous life, a half-person high bath made of stone, the male servants brought hot water, and the Liz maid tried the water temperature.
"Master, you can take a bath."
Odin refused Liz's unreasonable request to help wipe her body and told Liz's maid to close the door and go out.
"Oh~ it's so comfortable!"
Submerged in water, he reached out and touched the visible ribs on his chest.
"This body is too thin. No wonder the vindictive practice is stagnant. It seems that you have to practice well. You can enjoy life better if you have a good body."
As a middle-aged old man with kidney deficiency in his previous life, the way of health preservation has penetrated his soul, and he suffers from no chance to run around for life. Now that he has a lot of time, he decides to strengthen his body and strive for two more years of happiness.
The old butler lit the oil lamp in the study. Although the castle is a few years old, the utensils are well maintained. Two oil lamps are enough to illuminate the study.
After taking a bath, Odin came to the study in a soft nightgown and wanted to deepen his understanding of the world through books. It was said that he had not entered the study since he woke up from a coma.
Looking at the empty desk, Odin asked the old butler who was waiting.
"Modi, where's the book?"
"What book master are you looking for?"
"It's the iron-clad book that knocked me into a coma!"
"Is that book? I remember that it was on the ground at the time, and the corner of the book was still stained with blood. Later, I went to ask the pastor to treat you and didn't pay much attention to it. It is estimated that the servant put it on the bookshelf while cleaning the study.
It seems to be an emerald green cover, and the four corners are also wrapped in tin foil, which is quite thick. "
The old housekeeper tried his best to recall the scene at that time. It was really hard for him to remember such an unintentional little thing as he was getting older.
"Forget it, I didn't see it if I didn't see it, I'm just curious."
After speaking, he took out a book called "World Travel Notes" on the shelf and read it.
Thanks to the original owner, Odin has no obstacles in writing. He is proficient in the languages of several principalities on the mainland and even dabbles in Elvish and polar barbarian languages.
After all, the original owner also graduated from the Knight Academy, and his fighting spirit is a bit useless, but he learned the fastest in other knowledge courses, which may have something to do with his introverted personality.
"World Travel Notes" is about a magician who constantly explores the unknown process of the world, and has travelled almost the entire continent.
"There is only one piece of Ella Continent in the centre of the whole world, which is in an irregular oval shape, hum, it's a bit interesting...
The forest of elves in the south, the polar barbarians in the north, the endless mountains in the west, and the human kingdoms in the east are quite diverse...
There are countless large and small islands around the mainland, and there is a mysterious Dragon Island in the depths of the sea. I heard that it is the birthplace and burial place of the giant dragon family, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, tsk tsk..."
Odin was a little disappointed that the long-awaited introduction to the Danube Principality did not appear.
This book was written more than 200 years ago. At that time, the Duchy of the Danube had not yet been established, so of course, I couldn't find it. The map of the town in Luvid's hand still did not know which lord drew it. scope.
"Backward technology, backward industry, the upper-class aristocrats only care about their enjoyment, education, politics, and even medical care are prepared for the aristocratic class. This map travelogue was compiled only because of the magician's interest. It's a deformity. world!"
Odin felt it.
As for the one who wants to change the world and make the serf turn over to be the master, it is estimated that his father will be the first to lead the army to kill the relatives righteously.
Besides, he is not a young man in his twenties anymore, life has smoothed his edges and corners, and now he just wants to be a noble gentleman safely and securely, worthy of his reincarnation.
...
While Odin was immersed in reading, Butler Modi quietly put a cup of hot milk on the table, quietly took the door to the room and left.
As a housekeeper, you must know when to speak, when to shut up and be intimate with your master while being respectful at all times. The fifty-year-old Modi is very aware of the proportions in this.
Now, Modi is going to do the last castle tour of the day while the master is reading to ensure that there will be no noise in the castle after the master falls asleep.
After inspecting the dining room, living room, and kitchen, in turn, he drove the idle servants back to the room, took out the key from his waist and locked the warehouse, and ended all activities in the castle today. After confirming that the castle was completely quiet, Modi walked along the original road to the study.
In the study
Two oil lamps emit a steady orange-yellow light
After eating a cup of hot milk, the warm feeling made Odin sleepy. He felt the remaining thickness of the pages and forced his eyelids to sleep after reading the last few pages.
Seeing that the last page was about to be turned, he could no longer resist the surging sleepiness and fell asleep with his head buried.
He had a very vague dream in which he was still reading a book, but not the one he was holding.
From the emerald-green cover page and the iron-clad corner of the book, looking at this book, suddenly remembered what the housekeeper said, isn't this the book that hit me in the head, why did it appear in a dream?
As the brain thinks, the vague dream becomes clear, looking around, still in the study, sitting on a chair.
The real touch in his hand made Odin wonder if he had woken up, but this strange book reminded him that it was not reality.
Touching the milk cup, the residual warmth was so real, that Odin pinched his thigh hard.
"Hey~ it hurts!"
He got up and wanted to leave the study, but found that he couldn't open the door.
"Modi! Why lock the door!"
Odin kicked the door hard, and he was so tired that he was out of breath after just a few kicks.
After a few deep breaths, my brain calmed down. It has nothing to do with Modi. The door will be kicked twice when it is firm, but the door has no response at all, it is like a stone wall, this is not normal, very abnormal!
Odin returned to his chair and carefully observed the book. If there was any problem, it must be the book.
Gently caressing the cover with my hand, the colour is emerald green, the texture of cowhide, the texture of marble, the iron sheet wrapped around the corners is very white, there is no bloodstain as the butler said, and there is no title.
No matter how you look at it, it reveals a bit of weirdness, not like a serious book.
"You smashed me, I didn't bother you, but you asked me for a dream, what do you mean?"
Odin didn't open it rashly but tried to communicate. After all, there are all kinds of fighting qi magic, and it doesn't matter if a talking book appears.
"..."
no response.
"Is it a spell that needs to be matched? But I haven't learned magic before, so it's hard to do now... don't care, open it and talk about it!"
Odin, who was helpless, started directly, and if he dragged it on, he didn't know what weird things would happen.
Unexpectedly easy to open the cover page, the purpose is a colour drawing of the left and right pages, which looks like a map at first glance, but you can take a closer look...
"Fuck! Satellite aerial view!
No... There is no such thing as a satellite here, but why can it be painted so realistically? This mountain range and this river are the same as the satellite image, but it is a bit dark. "
Odin was taken aback by this map.
Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a map. The map has directions and various geographic locations marked, but there is nothing on it, it is a bare bird's-eye view.
"Where is this place?"
In the picture, you can only vaguely see a house, most of which is green space, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is grass or trees. There is also a small river, as thin as a hair, if it is not the same colour, it is invisible.
"The topography is very ordinary. There is a mountain, a small river, and flat land. You can't even recognize the south, south, and northwest. It would be better if you zoomed in a bit."
Odin muttered a sentence after seeing that he couldn't identify the location, but after saying this sentence, the picture on the page changed unexpectedly.
"Fuck...Fuck!!! This...how is this possible!"
Because of his unintentional remarks, the bird's-eye view was actually enlarged a little, and it did not become blurred due to partial enlargement, and still maintained a super high definition.
After zooming in, the residential area in the centre of the picture becomes clearer, and you can see that houses are scattered together to form a small town, and the hair-like river has become thicker. Residential areas, however small, are far inferior to the central towns.
"There is no sign, it is still unrecognizable, unless..." Odin said the last four words softly, "... enlarge it a little more."
He didn't disappoint, and the picture continued to be enlarged in a circle, the same as the multiple just now.
The streets of the town, the size of the houses can be identified, the grass and woodland on the ground, the trees can be counted, and the river is half his fingernail wide.
"In the centre of the town, there is a small river that flows not far away, 1...2...3... There are three small villages by the river, and a waterwheel has been built in the middle village.
and many more!
A small town, three villages, and a waterwheel, could it be! "
Odin frantically began to search for targets around the town. He was already trembling with excitement. The strange pictures in front of him almost made him lose his mind. UU reading www.uukanshu. com stared at the picture without blinking.
"Impossible...it won't happen...it's because I think too much...it's just a dream"
The murmuring stopped abruptly, and a small castle appeared in his eyes.
Located on a hill a mile away from the town, the only path that stretches from the foot of the hill to the castle gate is the only gravel road in Boulder Town.
The tall city wall, the round tower-shaped fort spire, and the flowerbed in the backyard, the same structure indicates that this is the boulder fort he lives in now, and the window looking towards the study seems to be shining with yellow light.
Cold air suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, an invisible chill enveloped him, and the goosebumps on his arms were aroused.
With difficulty, he looked back at the window of the study, through which he could only see the night sky, and then looked back at the picture on the table.
"Is this the perspective of God?"
Am I seeing myself from God's perspective?
Can you see it?
or...
Zooming in a bit?
Crazy thoughts are bred in the mind and there is no way to stop the urge.
Suddenly, a strong sense of dizziness struck, and Odin only felt that the world was spinning, and he stood up abruptly.
"Master! Master! Go to the bedroom and sleep."
A kind butler's face appeared in front of him.
"Modi?"
"Sorry sir, the study is too cold, let's go back to the bedroom and sleep."
"Well, help me over, my legs are numb."
The dizziness in the brain has not subsided, and he hurriedly glanced at the book on the table, which was the Travels of the World I read earlier.
Odin lay on the soft goose feather bed, unable to resist the double blow of dizziness and sleepiness, and fell into a deep sleep.
