Struggle in the Steam Age

Of course the dracolich is dead. Mr. Lambert said, If the main force of the family hadn't gone to another place to deal with the matter at that time, the evil dracolich wouldn't have caused such a big loss .So after the main force came back, they quickly contacted the Church of the God of War and killed the dracolich together.

Originally nothing would happen if they hid in the basement of the family manor, but in order to protect the innocents in the city, they took the initiative to attack the dracolich with their guards to attract its attention, and then used the manor itself Its defense held the dracolich down for nearly half an hour, buying enough time for the people to escape.

They are real heroes, but father, why haven't you introduced me to these great things that my grandparents did before? Lawrence asked curiously, because Mr. Lambert did say that his parents were Heroes, but never specifically said what kind of heroic things to do.

Because you were young at that time, and after talking about the heroic incident of your grandparents, you have to talk about the situation of our family. I think what you said at that time was not good for your growth, so I plan to tell you everything when you become an adult. You. Speaking of which, Mr. Lambert smiled proudly.

It's just that I didn't expect that you were admitted to university and left home before you became an adult. So I haven't had time to tell you about it. In fact, if it wasn't for my brother's accident this time, after you return to our house this time I will tell you these things.

On the other hand, Mr. Lambert paused at this point, then stretched out his hand to touch his father's tombstone and said, I left home because of some conflicts with the family, so I have been with the family. There is a knot in the relationship. I think this is another reason why I have not told you about the family situation before.

Having said that, Mr. Lambert walked a few steps forward to another tombstone, and then pointed to the tombstone and said. She is your mother, you can bow to her.

Lawrence seriously bowed three times to the tombstone, then raised his head to look at the tombstone. This tombstone is carved from a piece of powder blue stone that looks a little lively. In the center of the tombstone is a relief bust of a young woman.

Mother looks very gentle. Lawrence said after looking at the relief on the stone tablet. On this relief is a long-haired, round-faced woman wearing glasses. She should be a very gentle woman.

Yes, your mother is the most gentle and kind woman I have ever met. Mr. Lambert said with a sigh. And she is a very smart person. Although she is not extraordinary, she is still considered the best among her peers. For example, she was the first batch of regular female college students in the Federation.

Female college student? Lawrence opened his eyes wide in surprise. As far as he knows, due to the existence of extraordinary power, the gender equality of men and women in this world is much better than that of his previous life in the same era, but this does not mean that complete equality can be achieved. . For example, in education, although girls' schools for girls appeared very early, they are more inclined to cultivate women's social etiquette and women's skills. Rather than academic education like a formal university.

That is, more than 20 years ago, the top three in the New World Hokuriku began to try to carry out educational reforms to allow women to enter universities on the same basis as men, but until now men are still the majority in universities. It can be said that the women who can enter the university are all elites, even higher than their male classmates on average.

That's right, a female college student. Her family is a hereditary knight family with a knight manor, but she is the only one left in her generation. Mr. Lambert explained, Your grandparents died earlier , so when she became an adult, she found a door-to-door son-in-law to marry to keep her noble title and property.

However, in the second year after she got married and went to school, her first husband died unexpectedly during a hunting activity. After that, another man who tried to marry her encountered a supernatural monster on the way to get engaged In addition, a baron who wanted her to be his lover was also executed by the church and completely deprived of his noble status because he was found to have colluded with the lower planes and robbed children of human sacrifices.

This——Father, you are indeed brave. Lawrence felt that his mother, who had never met, could be counted as a fate based on the words of his previous life, which was a bit too hard.

No, I'm not brave. In fact, my marriage with your mother was arranged by your grandfather. You know, I am the second son who has no inheritance rights in the family. And nobles often like to arrange for the sons who have no inheritance rights in their families to be in the family. Marry women who have sufficient economic status as soon as they come of age, and the most popular marriage partners are wealthy widows. Mr. Lambert talked about the marriage principle within the aristocracy.

It sounds like— Lawrence didn't know what to say next, after all, he knew that when the descendants of nobles enjoyed the convenience provided by various families, they would naturally have to pay a corresponding price.

When I first heard that I was going to marry your mother, I was not happy, and even a little scared. Because let's not talk about the various remarks and ages that your mother circulated in the noble circles about her being unfavorable to her husband. Nearly five years older than me, and the mere fact that I've never met her makes me feel really bad inside.

But for me, who enjoys the various benefits of the family, I have no other choice. Mr. Lambert shrugged and said with a happy smile on his face. It was only after I got married that I found out that fortunately there was such an arrangement, so I could get to know your mother.

During that time, I was influenced by your mother on the one hand and gave up the family's traditional belief in the God of War and became a priest of the God of Knowledge and studied in church schools; The one that belonged to her near Dobena, and those were the happiest days of my life.

Although Mr. Lambert's tone was very flat when he said this, Lawrence could hear the significant influence that the mother he had never met had on his father.

Unlike people like myself who are naturally less interested in gods because their souls come from another world, most people in this world still respect gods. Therefore, even if people can change their beliefs, people often choose to believe in multiple gods to increase their beliefs, rather than directly abandoning their old beliefs, even if they are not very pious, to become priests of another god.

While Lawrence was thinking about these questions, Mr. Lambert still kept speaking slowly. It's a pity that the happy life after marriage is only two or three years. Your mother died of illness when she was pregnant with our first child.

This made me very sad, and I even closed myself completely for a while, and attended your mother's funeral in a daze. Fortunately, I recovered slowly under the inspiration of the gods, and at the same time, I knew that your mother's soul had entered my life Kingdom of the Lord.

But not long after I was recovering from the extreme grief, my father asked me to be introduced to a new marriage. It didn't even take into account that your mother died less than three months ago, For this, your grandfather and I had a big fight for the first time in our lives.

Under your grandfather's unwillingness to give up his order, I chose to hand over the manor to the family as compensation for the family's training for me for so many years, and then left home to go to the New World, and the next thing I I think you know it all.

Having said that, Mr. Lambert sighed and fell into the memory of the past. Lawrence, on the other hand, stood quietly by his side, looking at the pale blue tombstone.
