The Unlikely Path of a Pioneering Baron

A title like your highness is usually used for princes, and once again, it takes the son of a duke to qualify to be called your highness. No matter how you think about it, the word your highness doesn't have anything to do with Aeris, the son of a baron, and their mother is nothing special, basically living in a baronial domain for her entire life.

So this title is... Thinking of his old brother's outrageous battle power just now, Isaac didn't continue to think about it; he's just a salted fish; he can just lie down. When Isaac and Aeris came to the council chamber, a middle-aged man wearing the same knight's lining as Aeris was sitting on the main seat of the long table, and this was their old man, Baron Rael, Rael Solomon.

"Isaac, no injuries?"

Baron Rael looked towards Isaac. "No, better luck."

Isaac nodded and sat down in the second seat from the left, across from Aeris, in Edward's underhand seat. "That's good; the one who did it this time should be the Charlemagne family; this account will be settled slowly."

Baron Rael first gave Isaac a promise before looking at Aeris, interrupting his inquiry, "Don't worry about the Charlemagne family's matter for the time being; take a look at this first."After saying that, Baron Rael pushed a gold-rimmed document on the table in front of Ayres. Aeris frowned slightly; honestly, he now wanted to deal with that Charlemagne family that dared to make a move against his brother first. It just so happened that he knew a female sir who had a grudge against the Charlemagne family, and he could totally use that excuse to lash out. However, Baron Rael told him to put it down for now. Aeris picked up the paperwork Baron Rael pushed over with confusion, and with just one glance, he was shocked!

"Pioneering paperwork?!" Jennifer, who had just walked into the council chamber, heard the name and instantly looked at Aerys in surprise, along with Isaac. The Pioneering Instrument itself was not rare; what was rare was that it appeared in the Solomon family. The Pioneering Instrument was not rare in the Lionheart Kingdom or the continent of Kerry; every new generation of nobles would have a copy of it, no matter how many children you had, and it was enforced! It was one of the obligations of the nobles to open up territory for the Lionheart Kingdom.

On top of that, as long as you're a knight, you can go directly to the kingdom's capital, Wild Lion City, to receive a pioneering instrument and directly become a Sir of Pioneering, and if you open up enough territory, you can become a noble as well. Moreover, this provision is also effective for nobles, and this is one of the few paths for nobles to rise to the rank during peacetime. However! The matter of opening up territories was not easy on the entire continent, or else it wouldn't have been made mandatory for the nobles. Because opening up the territory is not so simple, the initial start-up funds and the middle of the development funds are not to mention, the general nobles bite the bullet can be completed, and the core of the place is the latter part of the benefit, which is not enough.

The place that needs to be opened up is the territory of darkness, where there is only chaotic magic and the first ten years can't even grow food! And there won't be any minerals for fifty years! Simply put, there's no hair. If this is the case, then it is fine. The big deal is to pay more and slowly expand, not just to raise more people. If you can't do agriculture, you can still do handicrafts, so you can get some blood back. But the fact is not so simple: the dark land is full of dark magic, erosion by the devil, and incomparable danger; even the knights cannot survive alone in it! Dangerous, there is no gain in hard work; naturally, there is no one to do it. including the great nobles. Because you are pioneering on behalf of the kingdom, the territory you pioneered doesn't belong to you; it belongs to the kingdom.

Only the first fifty years belong to you, because after fifty years, this pioneering territory will return to normal. Though the kingdom will give you some rewards, to be honest, those who have this pioneering ability basically don't see this reward, so although the Lionheart Kingdom has been established for more than two hundred years so far, it has only succeeded in pioneering two baronial territories, and that area combined is not as big as the area of their Solomon's territory.

One can imagine how troublesome this matter is. This was also one of the major reasons why Isaac wanted to lie down. And the reason why it was strange that the Pathfinding Instrument appeared in the Solomon family wasn't that they were so special; it was that this was something they had already used, and now Aeris was the Pathfinding Baron.

"For me?" Isaac asked with a frown.

"Yeah." Aerys nodded, then looked to Baron Rael and asked, "Father, did Isaac's assassination have anything to do with this?"

"Well, the Kingdom's stargazers predicted not long ago that there would be a crisis in the future that would affect the entire continent! It is highly likely that the kingdom will become extinct in this disaster! That's why a special pioneering instrument was issued; a portion of the nobles are to participate in it to strengthen the kingdom's power, and the kingdom will allocate some of its resources to aid in this pioneering."Saying this, the baron looked at Isaac.

"This time, the right to pioneer is only owned by a portion of the nobles. Originally, His Majesty the King's intention was to transfer this quota to Aeris; his pioneering territory is now at a high speed of development. The support of the kingdom at this time is like a timely rain, but I refused. Do you know why? Isaac." Locking eyes with the baron for a moment, Isaac nodded and said in a deep voice, "Solomon's glory!"

"Exactly! Everything in the Solomon family was fought for little by little by the ancestors following His Majesty, the first Lionheart King! That's why the members of the Solomon family must never retreat at a time like this! If you enjoy the rights of nobility, then you should take on the corresponding responsibilities! Isaac Solomon!" Baron Rael got up and took the paperwork from Eris, handing it to Isaac and shouting in a deep voice. Isaac was silent for a moment and finally stood up.

The salty life doesn't seem to be that easy to obtain."Father!" "Now I, Rael Solomon, on behalf of His Majesty the Lionheart King, grant you the Pioneering Territory of Blackstone Castle, and in the presence of the Pioneering Baron Aeris Solomon, bestow upon you the name of Blackstone!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Isaac stroked his right hand against his chest and bowed slightly. The proxy knighthood conferral ceremony was relatively simple and did not have that much etiquette.

"Go to the Pioneering Territory when you become a sorcerer; the grudge with the Charlemagne family is yours to deal with, and you can't do anything within the kingdom without a justifiable reason."

Handing over the paperwork to Isaac, Baron Rael looked into Isaac's eyes and said, He knew very well the character of his youngest son. That's why he would use this way to force him to go to the Pioneer Territory to fight for his future; otherwise, let Isaac choose for himself.

This kid would most likely choose a big backyard manor to live his life peacefully and steadily. If it is in the past, even if the Solomon family can afford him, now that the crisis will come, lying flat just waiting for death, he must consider Isaac's future. But he also knows very well that this youngest son has a lot of secrets in his body and is vindictive, and there is no way that the matter of the Charlemagne family will just go away. Therefore, after a pause, he continued, "I heard that the Charlemagne family has a village next to the Black Stone Castle that has been in operation for generations, and it's still ten years short of becoming an official territory. You can help them out if you're interested; after all, they're all nobles of the kingdom." Isaac froze for a moment, then smiled and returned, "I understand, father." The rest of the discussion had little to do with Isaac; it was basically a discussion between Baron Rael and Aeris, exchanging information and their respective countermeasures.

"Pfft~" Back in his bedroom, Isaac slammed himself down hard on the bed and looked at the ceiling in depression—so close, so close! Just a day or two later, he would have been able to leave Solomon Territory and head to a safe and comfortable manor to be his own landlord, and then start living a flat life, but...

"This fucked up crisis! Harmon, it couldn't have been you two, could it?" Isaac looked at the ceiling suspiciously.

"Rip~" A tearing sound rang out, and hideous claws once again appeared from the back of Isaac's neck, but at this moment, the claws showed a few moments of resignation that didn't match their hideous appearance.

"Eh? Not you guys? Oh, that's right, you're not good at these things; that guy doesn't even have a complete name right now; it's really unlikely that it's you guys, so that's strange. The disaster that swept the continent A bit troublesome, ah~" Demon Claw Harmon was a bit puzzled by the situation. A disaster that swept a continent is just a disaster; what's so troublesome about it? Shouldn't the real trouble be the mistress's conception? Harmon didn't understand and didn't want to understand anyway. He only had two hands now, no brain, and was too lazy to think about it.

The huge magic claws flew to the table, carefully pinching a grape and flying towards Isaac, looking extraordinarily out of place. Isaac, however, has long been accustomed to this scene, accustomed to opening his mouth to eat the grape and casually saying thank you after opening a panel that only he can see—a homemade panel. Name: Isaac Solomon Race:Creation (Reserve) 　

"... What the hell is Genesis? How come it's changed again? I mean, this thing is what I use for my own stats, so don't change it blindly, okay?" Isaac rolled his eyes and said to the unknown being, Perhaps it was Isaac's words that worked; the words Genesis on the panel slowly began to change. Race:Human (and Genesis Reservist)

After a moment of silence, Isaac decided not to bother correcting him; it was only a few days of enthusiasm anyway, and it didn't matter much if information like race was changed or not. Continue reading.

Transcendental Profession: Sorcerer Level: Sorcerer Apprentice Peak Grand Finale Late Beginning Isaac automatically ignored the long list of raw, grassy suffixes and just glanced at the words Sorcerer's Apprentice. Soon, the word apprentice will be gone—just tonight! Abilities: creation, magic god alchemy (crippled), wisdom of Solomon Source Power:Five Source Power Acquisition:I. Acquired from the River of Time increases by 3 points every 24 hours and can be increased with increasing strength.

Two, matter reverse transformation, can transform any matter into source power and requires mastery of matter decomposition (requires 2000 source power to create). Energy Reverse Transformation, which can reverse the energy it possesses into source power, will permanently reduce its own energy and is not recommended. After giving the reader a look at the ability panel, Isaac closed it. The core of his ability wasn't the panel; it was creation. He can create everything using source power!

Everything!

Whether it was a known object or an unknown object that existed only in concept, everything could be created! provided the source power is sufficient. Logically, with this kind of heaven-defying hang, Isaac should have taken off a long time ago, but the reason why he's still a weakling now is because of something he did as a child that was very deadly. Perhaps it was because he possessed a superpower, or perhaps it was because people in this world had a special physique; he had all the memories of his previous life at birth, but this was not good for him.

Because, as a person who grew up in the age of information explosion, Isaac's mind was incomparably active, and after realizing that his ability was to create, he uncontrollably gave birth to a crazy idea: could he create an all-knowing, all-powerful god who would do his bidding? This idea was out of control when it came together, and at the time he had no way of controlling this ability, so... He then really created such an omniscient and omnipotent demon god! Of course, the source power wasn't enough, and it didn't fully succeed. But despite this, he still lived up to the name of omniscient. Over the years, Isaac's daily accumulation of source power all automatically poured into the Demon God Alchemy.

Until a few days ago, his elder brother Aeris came back, and from the hands of his followers to get the sorcerer's meditative thoughts, he was able to control the source of power so that it no longer flowed into the bottomless pit of the Demon God. He has been pouring it into him for almost sixteen years, and so far he doesn't even have the full name of the god; it's just a sinkhole! The only thing that made Isaac more relieved was that these years of investment were not without any return; the biggest gain was the Demon God's servant, Harmon! Though Harmon doesn't have much fighting ability, he was born with the power to pause time at will as well as manipulate space with basically no consumption. The combination of these two abilities basically allows Isaac to not risk his life, just like today. Suspend time, shift space, then safety.

"On the continent, wizards are most commonly classified into three types: one is the legendary wizards that you will achieve later, drawing power and spells from various legendary stories; one is the truth wizards; of course, they call themselves arcane wizards; this type relies on parsing the truth as a way of researching spells that belong to themselves; and the last type, rather than calling them wizards, it is better to describe them as magical girls. Because magical girls are born with powerful magical powers and are only female."

Jennifer led the Isaac brothers towards the basement while introducing "Besides the different sources of power, is there any difference between these three?" Isaac stroked his chin, thinking of all the information he had gathered before. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The biggest difference should be the camp."

"Huh?" said one of the brothers, Isaac Aeris, to Jenophonie. Brother, you don't know either." Aerys shook his head.

"I don't have much contact with wizards; I rarely know much about them, but I do know quite a bit about their necks."

"This understanding you speak of, proper? Isaac quietly glances at Jennifer's tightly wrapped neck.

"The general legend is that the wizards are attached to the king's power, the magical girls are attached to the divine power, and the last truth is that wizards form their own faction to form the wizards' council, which are also the three strongest camps on the continent."

After a pause, Jennifer glanced at Isaac, then said, "But this is just the general situation; it's not always divided according to this; there are quite a lot of lone legendary wizards; we're here." As soon as the words left her mouth, Jenny brought the two brothers to a stop at the door of a basement painted with all sorts of bizarre symbols, and the two brothers looked in awe at the drastically changed basement.

"Lady Jennifer, a great favor!"

"Thanks for the hard work!"

Jennifer Nie did not reply but slightly lowered the brim of her hat. She received this gratitude with a sense of shame because these spells, again, were meant to limit Isaac's talent.

After all, no one is sure if Isaac will pick his older brother when he becomes a legendary sorcerer. What the king would not do, she would do! Even if Aeris chose to kill her afterwards, she would have no regrets.
