Standard Terra Calendar 972.M41, Bracato Galaxy, Passagadi
As the second-last-mass planet in the Bracato galaxy, Passagadi is not as harsh as most dwarf planets. Under the exquisite adjustment technology of the ancient Aida Empire, it was arranged in a suitable orbit and two small satellites were arranged to balance its rotation and stabilize the earth axis. Therefore, Passagadi has a very good natural environment, with an ocean, two continents, and the North and South Poles being covered with ice and snow.
When the Knights of the Astral Realm just arrived here, the two continents had only more than 10 million people and maintained a relatively scattered social form, including parliamentary federations and feudal kingdoms. Past immigrants still brought some technology. The planet's technology can basically be maintained in the electrical era and the level of automatic firearms as the main weapon, and agriculture and industry can basically achieve self-sufficiency.
Afterwards, the DuPont Derlin family obtained their family territory from Soshyan, and the Supreme King of the Knights naturally became the lord of Passagadi.
However, Lord Olga once signed contracts with many small states on the planet with cities. He would not change the lifestyle and social structure of existing residents, nor would he take away their land at will. Everyone just needs to pay taxes according to the standards.
Only the newly reclaimed land and newly established cities can the Supreme King have the right to distribute and dispose of it.
During the DuPontill family ruled the planets, immigrants from Nesson 4 and Sanctuary Star also came to this world one after another. Passagadi has a population of nearly 20 million, reclaimed more land, and formed four new and larger cities. The largest of them is Olga, the capital of the planet. This city is named after the recreator of the DuPontill family, and has nearly two million inhabitants. The core is the Knight Fortress of the DuPontill family and the Palace of Courage where the Supreme King is located.
After the Supreme King Madias ascended the throne, he enfeoffed his brothers, but did not break the contract of Grand Duke Olga. All the knight lords received newly reclaimed land and newly established towns, and many of their people were exiled criminals or debtors, so it was more appropriate to be serfs than peasants.
This makes the situation in Passagadi a bit strange. The planet itself can be called a civilized society, even a basic industrial society, but the feudal serfdom and manors also exist. Of course, there are also knight lords who will develop commerce and primitive industries, just like many social forms are complicated to knead together.
Despite the biting chill in the morning and the stiff muscles of the body, Serei was still in good spirits as he rode a four-legged pack beast through the busy streets of the city.
During the two-week field training, he stayed in the saddle for almost two weeks, either sleeping on the cold ground. Although he felt that he might not use this knowledge at all in the future, as the knight's mentor said, this is a means to sharpen his will. As a knight, being alone or falling into a desperate situation is very likely. Will is often the key factor in determining victory or defeat and life and death. Staying in a comfortable academy will definitely not be able to exercise your will.
In this regard, Serei is more recognized. After all, he is 14 years old and will take the first knight assessment in two years. For students who are eager to become a formal knight and get a knight, there are two major tests that must go through. The first is the first test at the age of 16. They will go through four tests: physical, knowledge, spirit and quick thinking. Those who pass will go through further studies, while those who fail will either continue to study for two years for the last assessment, or turn to attend the attendant to start learning, or give up their combat career completely. However, the probability of success in "repeat" is very low. After all, the requirements will be raised to an incredible level, and becoming an attendant means a more difficult road.
This is the rule set by the Supreme King Madias, so even if he has the name of DuPont Derling, it is no exception, not to mention that his father is just the most ordinary baron - and according to rumors, this is because he has a nominal "brother" relationship with the Supreme King.
As the adopted son of the great Lord Olga, Sere's father Basri was indeed not a very powerful warrior and had no outstanding characteristics. However, he was gentle and fair in his work, and was a lord who rarely empathized with the people. Therefore, he was often despised as the "Cotton Baron" by people around him. He did not care about this, which made Sere suffer a lot and ridicule in the academy.
However, Sere never complained to his father, because his father was not only gentle to his people, but also to his family. Compared with other knight parents who often educated him, he was amiable. Serere was also very fortunate to have such a father.
So he has been working very hard, just to use his strength to cleanse his father's reputation and to make everyone shut up.
But even so, two weeks of outdoor survival training still exhausted him physically and mentally, but fortunately it was finally over.
The night before returning to the academy, he took a hot shower at the manor he was staying in, and washed away the dust he had stained with when he ventured in the desolate wilderness. When he lay on the bed, he almost fell asleep before his head hit the pillow, and woke up as the alarm clock rang, feeling refreshed.
Now, he and his classmates are about to return to the academy. During the field training, they are divided into 10 people. Sere and his close classmates form a group. At first, everyone was talking and laughing, but there was almost nothing left behind to go and eat and sleep.
Before entering the city, Sere changed into a training uniform and put on a plain cotton sweatshirt. The wide collar of the black coat was embroidered with silver thread. The outside was covered with a newly washed and dried fur cloak. A triangle hat was worn over his head, with the DuPont Derling family logo on it. Its design was old-fashioned, but he liked it very much.
Serey's somewhat tender face looked very three-dimensional in the sun. He was a handsome boy, partly inheriting his father and partly inheriting his mother from a civilian. However, he had heard some rumors in the academy that some older knight mentors said privately that his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to the great Lord Olga, and as he grew older, he seemed to be closer and closer to the image in the photos left by Lord Olga in middle age.
This did not bring any benefit to Sere. In fact, there was only trouble and hostility that came from nowhere. When he talked to his father about this, his father was always silent.
