Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 1 Maple Leaf Town

Autumn in the southern region of the Shenguang Empire came a little later than usual.

Even though it is already September, the weather is still a bit dull.In Maple Leaf Town, in the maple leaf forest, the maple leaves are still as bright as ever.

Outside Maple Leaf Town, on the stone road paved with cobblestones, an old carriage slowly approached, causing the residents on the road to stare sideways.

Without him, a black horse coat of arms was hung on the front of the old carriage, which was the family coat of arms of the Viscount Hongsen in the southern region, and Maple Leaf Town belonged to Hongsen.

Maple Leaf Town is the southernmost border town of Hongsenling. It has inconvenient transportation, sparse population, and lack of resources. It is rare to see even a passing tourist on weekdays. How could there be a big shot from the Viscount family?

The carriage didn't stop all the way, heading straight to the mayor's Red Maple Manor.

Most of the residents were still surprised, but the well-informed residents already knew the reason in advance.

Today, their Maple Leaf Town is about to welcome a noble lord!
"Sorry~"

In front of the wooden front gate of the Red Maple Manor fence, an elderly man with neatly combed short white hair and a gray-black suit stood upright and waited. When the carriage stopped, he bowed and saluted: "Master Li Yong , I have been waiting for a long time."

A handsome young man got off the carriage.He has short black and thick hair, light brown eyes that are as bright as amber, a straight nose bridge, regular facial features that tend to be delicate, and a slender and tall figure. Like an aristocrat, you can't help but want to bow your head.

There was a faint smile on his face, not too unfamiliar, nor too close, it only gave people a sense of respect, matched with his noble temperament, people couldn't help but feel good about him.

The old man knew very well that the other party was the third son of Viscount Hongsen, Li Yong Conrad.

Li Yong got out of the carriage, nodded slightly and said: "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Lu Nuo. We will be a family from now on!"

"No." Lu Nuo raised his head and said solemnly: "From today on, you are the only master of Maple Leaf Town, and my servants will not overstep!"

……

'It seems that the results of practicing in front of the mirror for so long are not in vain. '

Looking at the solemn Lu Nuo, Li Yong was calm on the surface, but he was slowly relieved in his heart.

Just look at the lonely carriage and the extremely barren territory. He, the third son of Viscount Hongsen, is not favored.If grandma doesn't love uncle or grandma, that's what he's talking about.

This was not an overnight result, but if we really had to trace the cause, it was originally due to his "improper" handling in the collision incident.

It was a day when the distinguished guests came to the door, but when the carriage he was riding in was carrying the guests home, a commoner boy happened to break into the road to pick up the ball.

The carriage forcibly evaded, which almost caused an accident. Logically speaking, this commoner boy would surely die if he collided with the noble carriage.

But instead, he took the initiative to intercede with the honored guest, begging the honored guest to spare the young man's life...

That night, after the distinguished guest left, the Viscount scolded him: "As a nobleman, you pleaded for a pariah. You really disgraced my Conrad family!"

In the Shenguang Empire, the nobles were born noble, and the citizens were their private property. In a sense, they were not treated as human beings at all.

In the communication between two "persons", one of them speaks for an "item"?It's the behavior of a lunatic at all.

But what can be done?

Traveling through more than ten years, the first 17 years are like a lucid dream, just like Su Hui's gradual awakening, gradually embracing the new world before fully awakening.But even "half-awake," there are some deep-rooted things that can't be changed.

He cannot treat people as objects, as domestic animals.

He was originally a bastard, and he was appreciated by the Viscount only with the distinctive temperament brought about by the nine-year compulsory education.

And since then, his family status, which he had acquired with the knowledge and self-cultivation brought by his previous life education, has taken a turn for the worse.

Before he became an outstanding nobleman, he was no longer a qualified nobleman, he was an outlier, and a disgrace to the family.

Li Yong is considered an adult.As the invisible man of the Conrad family, the Viscount drove him to Maple Leaf Town on the border out of sight and out of mind.

As the heir of the lord, even if he is not an heir, he can normally have an honorary title, and the entrusted independent territory is this Maple Leaf Town - a territory that is smaller than ordinary knights.Of course, even such a little "independent" territory will be taken back after his death.

Li Yong naturally has no dissatisfaction. In this world where nobles are in power and common people are not as good as dogs, to be born as a nobleman is already luck that cannot be bought in eight lifetimes.

If he hadn't become the third son of the Viscount through time travel, he wouldn't even have had the opportunity to receive an education, and he might have died in a drought or famine long ago.

What more bike do you want?

Contentment is always happiness, Li Yong understands this very well.No matter how poor he is, he is an aristocratic lord at least, he can't die of hunger, and he has some fun, and he doesn't have to be afraid that no good-looking women will come to his door. Apart from not being able to surf the Internet, he is so taller than the 996 in his previous life that he doesn't know where he is!
Thinking about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with being disliked by the cheap daddy. On the contrary, he broke away from the vortex of competing for inheritance rights with his brothers and sisters early.

Although it may be embarrassing to the general time traveler, he is an ordinary person who is willing to live a comfortable life. He neither knows how to reproduce the four great inventions like his predecessors, nor does he know how to produce soap or develop the women's underwear market in this world.

Next, he just wanted to live the rest of his life in peace.For a comfortable and convenient life in the future, he naturally couldn't let the former mayor, his future housekeeper Lu Nuo look down on him, so he specially rehearsed his demeanor.

However, just after Li Yong got out of the carriage and heard the phrase "From today onwards, you are the only owner of Maple Leaf Town" from Lu Nuo's mouth, the world suddenly changed.

His body froze, his eyes widened, and he noticed that there was an extra line of text boxes on Lu Nuo's head.

"Luno: Human Male, Civilian Level 1 (Normal Template)"

There is extraordinary power in this world, but unfortunately, Li Yong knew that he did not have the talent to become a knight or a magician.

After traveling through eighteen years, he didn't realize that he had any special ability, nor did he have the so-called system escort.

'Why did you come here until today? '

Even with Li Yong's level of lying flat, he couldn't help but slander in his heart.But he also quickly realized that it was most likely Lu Nuo's words that activated his special ability.

At the moment when Lu Nuo completed the transfer of power and became the lord, he finally awakened his ability——Forensic Eye?

'If you think about it, it's not that great. '

'I'm just a lord who lives in a remote place for the elderly, and I'm not a spy who wants to search for alien spies. '

Li Yong was surprised for a moment, and soon regained his calm state of mind.

"My lord, are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Nuo, who had already switched names, looked at the dazed Li Yong and asked questions.

Li Yong and the coachman waved their hands, signaling him to go to the stables first, then smiled at Lu Nuo: "It's nothing, take me to see my subordinates first!"

subordinate?

Lu Nuo was puzzled by this address. Normally nobles would call them "attendants" and "servants", but he didn't ask any further questions, nodded and said: "I will follow your will, please come with me Bar."
