"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
"It's time to get up and eat breakfast."
An old and stern voice sounded in Li Yan's ears. Li Yan did not pay much attention to it, but he felt a terrible headache.
But the voice continued,"Young Master, you should get up."”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment. This voice seemed to be right beside his ear, and it was very real.
Although his head hurt, Li Yan forced himself to open his eyes. What he saw was not the white roof of his house, but a gauze curtain.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and found himself lying on a large wooden bed. Beside the bed stood an old man in his fifties. His hair was neatly combed and he was looking at him calmly.
Li Yan stared blankly at the stern-looking old man, then turned his gaze around. This was a house made of stone. It was very simple and crude. Other than the big bed he was lying on, there was only a desk and a chair as furniture.
The floor and walls seemed to have just been cleaned. The windows were made of wood and covered with a layer of white paper. There was a shiny stone above his head for illumination. There was nothing else in the house.
"Young Master, you're fine now. Please get up as soon as possible."”
Li Yan's eyes turned to look at the old man, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Then, he felt a sharp pain in his head and fainted.
When Zhao Lin saw that Li Yan had fainted, he was slightly stunned and hurriedly walked out.
There were four people standing outside the house, two men and two women. The two men were not very old. They looked to be in their teens, but they were all less than two meters tall. Their skin was as if it was made of iron, and they had dark skin and short hair.
The two of them looked exactly the same. They were actually twins, but their expressions were a little silly.
Of the two women, one was slightly older, in her forties. She was very fat, had blue hair, and had a kind face. She was currently looking anxious.
The younger girl was only 16 or 17 years old today. She had long green hair, a small oval-shaped face, a petite figure, and fair skin. She was a rare beauty. She had her head lowered and her face was wooden.
When she saw Zhao Lin come out, the slightly older woman immediately said,"Zhao Lin, how is it? Is Young Master awake?"
Zhao Lin nodded, then shook his head and said,"I woke up, but I fainted again.”
"Li Na, is your magic ineffective? Or is there a problem with the medicine?"
Li Na's face was cold." If that's really the case, I'll fight it out with those guys. Although Young Master is a little bastard, he's the last descendant of the Carlin family. Those bastards in the Empire, have they forgotten how much Master has done for the Empire back then?”
Zhao Lin said solemnly," You should go in and take a look. If it doesn't work, then use water magic to heal Young Master. No matter what, we must protect the last bloodline of the Carlin family."”
Li Na nodded and said," If Young Master recovers, you're not allowed to ask Young Master for anything according to the requirements of the nobles. We're already in this godforsaken place. What etiquette of the nobles? Let them all go to hell. Look at the faces of those nobles. Just thinking about it disgusts me.”
Zhao Lin looked at Li Na helplessly and said,"" No, no matter what, young master is still a viscount now. He must act like a noble. I want to teach young master to become a true noble so that we won't let down the great kindness the Carlin family has shown us.”
"If you dare to treat Young Master like that again, I won't cook for you. You'll starve to death."”
"We don't know how long we can last in such a place. With those people in Hillford, do you think Young Master will have a chance to return to the Empire?”
Zhao Lin smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else. He knew that Li Na was speaking the truth. The reason why they were assigned to this barren land was because the King of the Empire and those aristocrats had led the way. If it wasn't for the fact that the Carlin family's past achievements were too glorious, they would probably have directly destroyed the Carlin family.
Although the Carlin family still existed, it was impossible for them to enter the noble circle of the Empire in the future. People might even deliberately forget that such a family existed.
And what made Zhao Lin feel the most disheartened was that the Empire's King was afraid that the Carlin family would rise again, so he actually let their young master, the last heir of the Carlin family, Li Yan, drink the Water of Nothingness.
This Void Water was a supreme treasure. The value of each drop could not be measured by gold coins. This Void Potion only had one use, which was to turn your power into nothingness.
Just a single drop of the Void Water could turn a mage with the power of an Archmage, a warrior with the power of a Martial God, or a Divine Knight into an ordinary person in an instant. From then on, they would no longer be able to use any magic or combat qi.
Although this potion could make people unable to use battle energy and magic, it would not have any other effects on the human body. It would only turn you into an ordinary person.
If the person was an ordinary person, then this potion would be no different from ordinary water. However, if the person was a noble or a powerhouse, it would instantly turn you into a useless person in MCMAU, causing you to fall from the high clouds into the bottomless abyss.
Li Yan was ordered by the King to drink this potion. He would never be able to learn any magic or battle energy in his life. He could only be an ordinary person.
If this happened to other noble families, it would be fine. At most, he would just be an ordinary person in the future and wait for his death. He would just stop thinking about power.
However, this incident was fatal to Li Yan. He was the last heir of the Carlin family.
He needed the power to restore the family's glory and allow the Carlin family to once again enter the historical stage of the Maise Empire.
However, he had to drink the water of nothingness. From then on, he could no longer learn any magic or battle energy.
It was also impossible for them to have the strength to shake up the family. The last hope of the Carlin family was gone.
If it was just that he didn't have any power, Zhao Lin wouldn't be afraid. No matter what, he was a grade-8 warrior. His wife, Li Na, was also a grade-8 water-type mage, and his granddaughter, Zhao Xuan, was also a grade-6 wind-type mage.
With them around, the Carlin family's power was enough.
If they were in their original fief, it would not be difficult for the Carlin family to prosper again.
After all, the original fief of the Carlin family was in the south of the empire. There was a main city and four medium-sized cities. There was a large population and fertile land. As long as they kept a low profile and developed for a few years, the Carlin family would still prosper.
However, they did not expect that the king would actually change their fief from the south of the empire to the Yellow Plateau in the north of the empire.
The Yellow Plateau was a famous dead land on the continent. Although it was very large, it was about one-third of the total area of the Maise Empire.
However, there were no plants here at all. No plants could grow here. Even those plants that grew in the desert would die here.
It was said that the Yellow Earth Plateau was originally a fertile land. Later on, a war broke out here. A few mages at the level of Archmages used a large-scale forbidden spell together, turning this land into a land of death. Nothing could grow here anymore.
If it was just a dead land, Zhao Lin wasn't afraid. As long as the transportation was a bit more convenient, they could do some business. At the very least, they could support themselves.
However, the Yellow Earth Plateau was surrounded by an abandoned Qinyuan Mountain Range. After crossing the mountain, one of the five forbidden areas of the continent was the Dreamy Cloud Swamp.
The Cloud Dream Swamp was also the fief of the Carlin family. In fact, the Carlin family's fief was the largest in the entire Macy Empire.
The only exit here was right next to the Nada family's territory. Although the Nada family had an engagement with the Carlin family, how could the Carlin family talk about marriage with the most powerful Nada family in the empire now that they were in such a state?
Fortunately, this place used to be under the control of the empire, so there was a small castle on the abandoned Qinyuan Mountain Range. In addition, this mountain was not affected by the forbidden spell, so there was still some land on the mountain that could be cultivated. They would not starve to death.
When Zhao Lin found out that their fief had been changed to this place, he immediately exchanged all the money of the Carlin family for slaves, living supplies, seeds, and some tools.
Then, he led Li Yan, who had been unconscious after drinking the water of nothingness, to the abandoned but still usable small castle.
Accompanying Zhao Lin was his wife, Li Na, and his granddaughter, Zhao Xuan.
There was also a pair of orphans, Tiedan and Goudan, who were adopted by Li Yan's father. Together with a hundred slaves, there was no one else.
On the way from the Empire to the Yellow Plateau, Li Yan had been unconscious the entire time. Fortunately, Li Na was a mage, so she could use magic to save Li Yan from time to time, allowing him to arrive here safely.
Moreover, she had checked on Li Yan's condition yesterday and thought that he could wake up today. That was why Zhao Lin had woken Li Yan up from the bedside.
However, they did not expect that the Li Yan lying on the bed was no longer the Li Yan of the past.
