Eddie Edward woke up from his slumber.
His mind was still a little groggy, as if he had slept for a long time.
“Master, you’re awake.”
A gentle and peaceful female voice awakened Eddie’s mind.
He looked towards the source of the voice, and his eyes instantly had a look of amazement.
Beside his bed stood a beautiful woman.
This description was not accurate.
It should be a beautiful maid.
The maid was wearing a black and white dress, and the tight fabric on her upper body perfectly outlined her full figure.
The white stockings on her long straight legs were not dusty at all.
What surprised Eddie more was that she had long silver hair.
Her facial features were cold and beautiful, and her two fusiform ears indicated to Eddie that she didn’t seem to be human.
Eddie thought that he hadn’t woken up yet.
But when she called his name again, he suddenly realized.
Did I travel back in time?
And she even called him… Master?
What a shameful name!
As a young man who accepted the advanced thinking of Earth, Eddie rejected this feudal title!
Just when he was about to say something in response to the other party, Eddie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain.
A huge amount of information flooded into his brain at this time.
After adapting for a while, he understood the situation now.
His name was Eddie Edward, the only son of Baron Eddie from the land of Llewyn.
His parents both passed away when he was 12 years old.
At the age of 14, his parents left him a castle built in the countryside, the title of Baron, and a few maids to take care of him.
The silver-haired maid was the head maid who managed the rest of the maids, Emily.
Besides these, he learned that other than humans, there were also angels and demons on this continent. Furthermore, there were also elves, orcs, goblins, dwarves, goblins and other different races.
Some of them advocated freedom and liked to travel around the continent.
Some of them blended into different societies and lived harmoniously together.
And the owner of this body was attacked by a group of goblins when he was out playing.
If it wasn’t for Emily and the others finding out in time, he might have already become food for those monsters.
Thinking of this, Eddie put on a smile.
“Thank you, Emily, for saving my life.”
At this moment, Eddie’s weak but strong expression made Emily’s heart tremble.
Her master looked so cute and fragile, she really wanted to hug him!
Emily’s Fair and tender skin had an inexplicable blush.
Her slightly trembling body seemed to be fighting against some kind of instinct.
Her originally cold face also opened her mouth slightly and panted heavily.
“Calm down, Emily!”
“Now is not the time!”
She forced herself to calm down.
After all, she was the head maid. In terms of controlling her impulses, she was much calmer than the other maids.
“Master, it was our negligence that led to you being frightened.”
Emily was not happy. There was even some self-blame in her tone.
Eddie felt that Emily was just being modest.
No one would have thought that this group of goblins would attack humans within the boundaries of a human city.
Such a thing had not happened for many years.
Moreover, a group of beautiful girls like her couldn’t possibly destroy this group of monsters.
How was that possible?
The only ones to blame were the kingdom’s guards who were lazy and did not work!
Eddie waved his hand, indicating that he did not mind.
No matter how bad he was, he would not vent his anger on the maid.
“Don’t call me master! Just call me by my name!”
Eddie was very polite. If this was on Earth, she would be his savior!
Who would let his savior call him master?
“Master, are you blaming us?”
Emily’s amber-like eyes suddenly became misty.
The title of Master was a gift!
And now he wanted to take it back! This was definitely a huge punishment for them!
Emily shook her head repeatedly. There was even dew rolling in her beautiful eyes.
Eddie hurriedly stopped her.
He hates it when girls cry in front of him.
Seeing Emily so resistant to calling him by his name, Eddie had to take it back.
“Master is the best title!”
Seeing Eddie withdraw the order, a smile immediately surfaced on Emily’s cold face.
Look at the smiling maid in front of him, as expected, it was not easy to change the customs of this world.
Although he had a headache, he decided that sooner or later, he would change this awkward way of addressing him!
Seeing Eddie rubbing his head in pain, Emily thought that he was worried about his safety in the future, and her expression instantly became serious.
“Don’t worry, master. I promise that there won’t be another goblin around in the future.”
The silver-haired maid’s solemn tone even carried a killing intent that was not known by ordinary people.
Eddie did not pay it much attention. He only took it as a joke to comfort him.
Goblins were famous for their vigorous reproduction.
Not only were there many of them, but once war broke out, the little goblins that were born half a month ago would be able to participate in the war.
This kind of abnormal reproduction and rapid rate gave many races a headache.
If you eliminated one batch today, there would be new ones appearing in a few days.
One could imagine how difficult it would be to completely eliminate the goblins.
Even if you were a rank 9 archmage from Langham, you wouldn’t be able to do it!
Eddie smiled and didn’t take it seriously.
“Go and prepare some food first. I’m hungry.”
Eddie found an excuse to let himself be alone for a while.
Emily also very consciously left and went to the kitchen to prepare some food.
Since the master had already woken up, there was no need for anyone to stay by the bed at all times.
Seeing that the door was closed, the smile on Eddie’s face slowly disappeared, and his expression turned from cheerful to sinister.
Within the boundaries of the human city-state, even the son of a baron would be attacked by goblins.
This world was even more dangerous and cruel than he had originally imagined.
Since he was here, he had to work hard and become stronger so that he could live on!
Thinking of the few maids his parents had left for him, Eddie added: “I have to take these maids with me and live on!”
Eddie began to examine his current situation.
In his memories, because he had been discovered to have magic talent, he had been accepted into the Imperial Magic Academy in the many countries of Langham.
Soon, he would go to the Academy and register as an official magic apprentice.
In this era, becoming a mage was everyone’s dream.
Magic talent could be said to be one in ten thousand people, but it was hard to find one.
Mages were divided into one to nine ranks, and there were even higher saint ranks above the ninth rank.
It was said that saint rank mages could release forbidden spells with a flick of their fingers.
Burning mountains and boiling seas were not a problem!
Only when you reached the saint-level would you have the power to control your own destiny!
It could be said that a saint-level mage was the supreme existence of mankind.
It was also the peak of mankind’s current strength.
But the reality was cruel.
Eddie remembered that he was only detected to have a low-to-medium level magic talent.
With such a talent, even if he worked hard until he was old, he would probably only be able to become a first-rank Mage. If he was lucky, he would be able to break through to the second rank.
But that would be the end of his life. The upper limit would not be too high.
Eddie was a little depressed.
He had transmigrated to another world, and this was his standard?
There was nothing, just a bunch of maids and a castle.
What could all these do?
Eddie, feeling a little depressed, opened the window to take a look at the scenery outside to ease his mood.
A ray of sunlight instantly shone on Eddie through the gap in the window.
The moment the light appeared, a mechanical voice sounded in Eddie’s mind.
“Detected, there’s energy appearing nearby.”
“System activating!”
“System generating!”
“Infinite energy absorption system activated!”
