If you were born again in a world with true gods and magic, what would you do? Earn wealth and become a rich man on the continent? Become a noble and take what you want in your fiefdom? Become a mage and gain powerful strength and knowledge? Travel across the continent and get up close and personal with legendary figures? Become a true god and become an eternal being. Children make choices, but all time travellers have to. Kristen Stewart, Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Mage, Hereditary Noble of the Kingdom of France, No. 1 on the Continent

A convoy is moving along a forest road. At the head of the procession is a knight in full armour on horseback, followed by two squires carrying banners: one with the arms of the Baron Stewart family, the other with the arms of the knight's family, the Bernards. Behind them is a four-wheeled carriage protected by four mounted guards.
The world of the Blue Star resembles medieval Europe. The country has a small population and low productivity, so apart from towns and cities, all roads are dirt tracks. Fortunately, the noble carriages are equipped with shock absorbers, and the horsemanship of the hereditary coachmen can be trusted, so there are no major problems.
After leaving the forest, Knight Eric Bernard rode his horse up to the carriage and knocked on the door. The maid opened the window when she heard the noise.
'Elena, please tell the young lady that we have entered the Baron's territory.
'Okay.'
Sitting across from Elena was a young girl in a mage's robe. She had a slender figure and jade-like skin, with long black hair that reached down to her waist. Her beautiful and delicate face was only slightly better than that of a goddess, especially those black eyes that had a charm that could captivate a person's soul.
Kristen Stewart, the only daughter of Baron Stewart, a dragon vein wizard of the first order and a magician of the first order, has the title of the most beautiful tulip in Brittany.
Her father, Baron Alexander Stewart, is a fifth-level dragon vein wizard and her mother, Felociel Morningstar, is an elf and a seventh-level mage. Wizards are known for their charm, and they are all handsome men and beautiful women. Elves are even more attractive, so Kristen has inherited the best qualities of both her parents.
In fact, she is a time traveller. Her soul attached itself to her mother's embryo when she was pregnant, so she was born a noble lady.
She studied at the Wizards' Guild in Rennes, the capital of Brittany. She hurried back this time because of a major family incident. It has been confirmed that the ship her parents were on has sunk with no survivors. Eric Bernard arrived as quickly as possible to deliver the news and escorted her back to claim her inheritance.
The nobles of this continent all inherit through the male line, with the eldest son passing the title on to his eldest son. If there is no son, the eldest daughter can also inherit the title.
(Book setting) Dragon vein wizards have a normal lifespan of 500 years due to their dragon bloodline, and elves have a similar lifespan of 300 years. The disadvantage of the immortal species is that it is difficult to have offspring, and so far they have only one daughter, Christine. Of course, under normal circumstances, the Stewarts would still have a few hundred years to try to have more children, but they didn't expect an accident to happen all of a sudden.
The barony was not small and, coupled with the limited speed of the coach, it took a whole day to reach their destination, Stewart Castle.
The River Brittany flows from north to south into the sea, but here it hits a rocky hill and makes a U-turn. The castle stands on the highest point of the hill in the bay.
The castle was probably built in this way because of the terrain. The castle building is different. Let's have a look.
The whole castle is made of solid boulders. It is surrounded by the river to the north, west and south, and there are cliffs over 20 metres high. On the other side is a gentle slope with a moat dug around it, and below the slope is Dragon Claw Town.
As one of the earliest nobles to be granted the county of Brittany, it was only natural that an ancestor of the Stewart family would choose the best location to build the family castle.
It is well known that those in the legal profession earn a high income, but although Dragon Vein Wizards are spellcasters, their spells are all based on natural talent. So those Stewart ancestors who had a talent for magic studied spells as a sideline, while those who didn't earned money to expand the castle, collect weapons and equipment, or find rare treasures. By the time of Christine's grandfather, the castle was no less grand or luxurious than that of the Count of Rennes.
Next to Rennes, Longclaw was the most populous and prosperous town in all of Brittany.
Not far from Longclaw, they encountered a steady stream of travellers who immediately gave way to the caravan and took off their hats to salute when they saw the Baron Stewart's flag. As they entered the town, the speed of the caravan immediately increased as the road became a flat slab of stone.
The procession passed through the town and arrived in front of the castle. The soldier on guard in the tower had seen the flag and Knight Eric Bernard from afar and had opened the castle gates early.
The carriage stopped in the middle of the courtyard, and the coachman lowered the footrest to get out. Elena got out first, followed by Christine.
Other members of the Stewart family, vassals, knights and officials of various ranks were waiting nearby and greeted her with bows as she stepped out of the carriage.
After returning their greetings, Christine invited everyone into the castle hall.
Without hesitation, Christine took her place of honour, with her uncles Liam Stewart, Knight of the Sixth Rank, Eric Bernard, Knight of the Seventh Rank, and Albert Louvassot, Knight of the Sixth Rank, on her left, and the steward Victor Durand, the bailiff, tax collector and agricultural officer of the territory, etc., on her right.
On the right were the vassals, Lord Etienne Mercier and Lord Pierre Rogeron, and several squires.
Christine asked, "Everyone, I have already heard what happened from Sir Eric. Where is the official document?
Butler Victor Durand hands her a parchment: "My Lady, this is an official document from the Council of Nobles.
Christine opened it and read it. The document contained the results of the investigation and was sealed with the seal of the Council of Nobles of the Kingdom of France and signed by the priest of the God of Order.
It is only natural that ships should have accidents at sea. Of course, for reasons of communication, it may not be known whether it was a storm or pirates that caused the accident. However, unless the ship is seen in port for an extended period of time, it will be classified as an accident.
If an ordinary civilian died, that was that, but Baron Stewart was a noble of the realm and was travelling on a ship owned by the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, if something happened, the Chamber of Commerce would have to investigate and, after confirming the situation, report to the Council of Nobles, who would then notify the family. Now that there was an official document, it was confirmed.
Victor, go and tell the Thieves' Guild to offer a reward of one hundred gold coins for news of my parents.
Although there was already definite news, they could not give up hope.
Yes, sir.
The purchasing power of gold coins was very high in this world due to the low prices. Victor's annual salary as the Baron's steward was only 200 gold coins, and one gold coin was equal to 100 silver coins, and one silver coin was equal to 100 bronze coins (one bronze coin could be understood as one yuan). Of course, food, clothing and shelter were extra.
Uncle Liam, please come to the temple with me later. I want to ask Pastor Clement to pray for my parents.
'As you wish.
'Lord Pierre, please go to the capital of the kingdom, Frankfurt, to deal with my inheritance. I will send Knight Albert to protect you.'
'Yes, my lord.
Lord Pierre had always been responsible for the Barony's foreign affairs and had been to the capital, Frankfort, more than once, so it was only fitting that he should handle this matter.
It is clear that Kahn's intention in leaving this armor behind was very clear: to add an insurance policy for future successors.First of all, this armor will not affect spellcasting, nor will it have weaknesses such as conductivity or heat conductivity, since it is made of metal. For a spell-casting golem like Kahn, this is really easy.Second, it is immune to spells of level 5 or lower. Of course, being immune doesn't mean that every spell is ineffective. It is not immune to physical, force field, or shock spells. For example, a level 4 lightning spell that hits the body can be immune, but a level 1 magic rocket cannot be immune to the impact.However, the most important side effect of this armor, which made Christine feel like she could wear it all the time, was that the armor constantly activated the third-level spell "Evasion Detection".This spell made it difficult for protected creatures or objects to be detected by divination spells, and it also prevented them from being locat
After her conversation with Galadriel, Christine finally understood the whole story.A long, long time ago, Penglok, the traveling mage Kahn, came to this realm, and at that time, it was during the reign of the Ancient Netherrealm Magic Empire, and creatures from all realms traveled back and forth frequently, so a magic statue wasn't very noticeable.Kahn was interested in the Ancient Netherrealm Magic Empire, so he stayed behind for a while to learn spells. Great arcanists could build floating cities as well as artificial half-dimensions, and this half-dimension and the Magic Tower were built during that time. Kahn even taught quite a few arcanist students, which is why the Magic Tower had so many signs of habitation.Later, for some unknown reason, Kahn dismissed the mages and disciples in the Mage Tower and let them take what they could, eventually leaving this realm as well after creating Galadriel.Before she left, Kahn told Galadriel that she was created according to the rules o
The living quarters on the second floor of this Mage Tower can accommodate at least a hundred people, and Christine's own Advanced Mage Tower is nothing compared to it.However, it is still no match for the passage of time, and all the items have either decayed or lost their usefulness. Surprisingly, there's still food in the storehouse because of the magic circle, but Christine doesn't dare to taste it because she doesn't know how many years it's been there.The Arcane Garden on the third level was very large, but the plants inside had long since turned to dirt because no one had taken care of them.The only thing that surprised Christine was that not only could she enter the library on the fourth level, but there were also quite a few books of various types inside. Thanks to the protection of magic, these books from the ancient magic realm of Nethriel could still be read normally, which made her appreciate them.After a quick glance, she realized that the books were all very element
Ordinary orcs may be primitive and ignorant, but the ruling class, especially the shamans, are not stupid. Otherwise, the orcs would have been exterminated by humans long ago.Although Terea had no clues, she used the most stupid method, which was to press the "remote control" to open the door on the way, just in case.But when she arrived at that cave, she felt that it was really suspicious, so she decided to rest for the night and "push the button" tomorrow. She was afraid that there might be some kind of protective mechanism in the ruins, so she had to let the warriors in her entourage rest and get ready to explore again.But she never expected to encounter a human night raid. When it ended with just the three of them, Terea thought of this metal token. If it really opened the door and released the guardian of the ruins, they would all die together. But she never imagined that the door to the ruins would open and that there would be no guards at all.In fact, this was the reason wh
I didn't expect that centaur woman to be a second-order healing shaman priest, the two male centaurs were also fourth-order warriors, but they still didn't have any effect, after all, the human side's level and numbers were crushing.The so-called shaman priest is the orc's proprietary spell casting unit, divided into healing, enhancement, elemental three categories, corresponding to the human priest, paladin and mage.The advantage of shaman priests over human spell casting units is that training is simple and purely depends on talent, young orcs may be inspired to become shaman priests when they pray to the beast god, and as they advance in rank they will automatically comprehend spells, which is the same as human priests, that's why they are called shaman priests.The disadvantage is also obvious, although the number of spells is the same as human mages, but all spells are fixed and there are few types of spells, for example, receiving enlightenment to become a lightning elemental.
The equipment needed for star positioning is very simple, a sextant for navigation will do. It seems that sea navigation on the mainland should have originated in the era of the ancient Nethereal Empire of Magic, but the difficulty is worlds apart. After all, the former only needs to know the direction, while the latter needs to know the exact location.Of course, the main difficulty lies in the complex calculations, which even a fifth order magician would be helpless to solve, and a tenth order magician would get a headache just looking at them. But for the time traveler Christine it was no problem at all.The others gave the Baron their full respect as he scribbled and drew on the paper: "I can't read it anyway, so I'd better stay away."After all, they had already arrived at the scene, so it was much easier to observe and calculate within a general area. The results were ready in about two hours, and the laboratory was on the hill in front of them."Follow me," Christian ordered.I
Apart from the three large islands, the rest of the territory of the Duchy of Vende is a peninsula with a southeastern part connected to the mainland, the connection being even narrower than that of Brittany.The duchy has two major harbors. The port of Aarhus, located in the northeast, is a purely military port. The fleet anchored here is mainly used to intercept the scattered Orcs crossing the Öresund, and the fleet of the Benelux Duchy, which comes to support in times of war, also docks here.The Port of Esbjerg is located in the southwest of the Duchy of Vende and is a trading port. Since the orcs do not have the technology to build sea ships, it is impossible for their large rafts and canoes to reach here. The environment is very safe, and the duchy's capital is also located here.Of the three main islands, except for the island where the Fionnese Viscounty is located, which is relatively close to the mainland, the remaining islands, where the Stokkese and Roskilde Viscounts are
The carriage entered a mansion and stopped in front of the main building. Christian got out of the carriage.The servants, led by the butler, bowed and said, "Greetings, Baron Stewart.Lord Oliver Berger came over and introduced himself, "Baron, this mansion is rented by the Gold Coin Chamber. Please feel free to ask the butler for anything you need."It turned out that this mansion belonged to a hereditary honorary viscount. The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce went to the door to rent it, and then renovated it and rented it to foreign nobles. The reason for not buying it was that the Church and its affiliates were not allowed to own more than the limit of land written in the "Pact of the Gods"."Okay, thank you, Lord Oliver." At Christine's signal, Elena handed over ten gold coins."Thank you for your generosity, Baron. If you need anything, you can find me at the port office. I'll be leaving now." Oliver Berger, having received his reward, left happily.Looking around, he saw that the
The Benelux countries lie to the north of the Kingdom of France. The two countries share a short land border. This country has a long coastline and an area of about twelve counts. Of these, Archduke Philip directly controls four counts and the rest are granted to more than 30 barons.Archduke Philip is of the divine bloodline of the Sea God. Therefore, most people in this country believe in the Sea God. The shipbuilding and maritime industries are particularly developed. Although it is a principality, it has a naval power not inferior to that of a kingdom, and it is also an important force against the orcs crossing the sea to the south.The principality's navy is very strong, with over 8,000 men. It has six four-masted warships, ten three-masted heavy warships, fifty two-masted light warships, and over a hundred single-masted patrol ships. As for the Principality's army, its main task is to maintain law and order.The principality relies heavily on maritime trade for its income, and f
