If it were the genuine Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago, he would be feeling lost or even a little sad at this time, because seven hundred years ago, the human nations had no conflicts in the future. At that time, everyone was The folks who escaped from the Gondor Wasteland were separated by natural disasters. Several kingdoms worked together to build a defense line and exchange resources. The honeymoon period of the Typhon Empire and the Anzu Kingdom even lasted for more than five hundred years.
No one thought at that time that one day we would be at war with each other.
However, the person standing here now is not the genuine Gawain Cecil, but just a satellite spirit that fell from the sky. Gawain knew in his heart that he should sigh, but unfortunately it was not very easy to play. So I can only try to make my expression look stiff and serious, which can be regarded as a sad emoticon: "Has war been declared?"
"Only a thin line," Earl Cohen said softly Shaking his head, "All diplomatic channels have been cut off. Both sides are stationing troops. There is no reason to argue at this time. It just depends on who takes action first. We are all guessing that maybe within a year, the first war will break out between human countries. It will start."
Rebecca, who was following beside her, couldn't bear it anymore: "But we have to face a demonic tide. If the Great Wall really collapses, will their Typhon Empire... Will you be safe? If the monsters from the Gondor Wasteland break out, will they care which country you are from?"
"In fact, in the last communication before the diplomatic interruption, my father The king has already issued a warning to the empire," Veronica whispered. "He warned those arrogant imperial people that the wasteland of Gondor is changing, and signs of aberration activity have been found on the Anzu border. He hopes that the imperial people Can you let go of those stupid hatreds in the face of this real crisis..."
Amber asked anxiously: "Then what?"
Veronica lowered her eyelids: " Then Typhon unilaterally cut off the magic communication on the border and added another 30,000 troops. "This is unreasonable!" Rebecca said immediately, "Typhon is right. How much hatred does Ansu have to do this? And even if they don’t believe it, at least say it, what does it mean to shut down the summons directly..."
"Because human beings themselves are a kind of evil. How smart creatures are, especially after being involved in the political and aristocratic systems, their minds are often confused by things like interests, face, clan, and war inertia," Gawain shook his head and said, "And Ansu said that the devil The tide is coming, why should the Typhonians believe it? They would rather believe that you are using this excuse to delay or prepare for war, and even if they believe it... I'm afraid they would like the demonic tide to break out with Anzu as the center."
Rebecca blinked her eyes, and her head that had been patted by a wolf was stuck on this topic: "Why?"
Gawain shrugged: "Because Ansu is finished. They feel that they can directly divide the remaining profits."
Rebecca felt that she could not keep up with Gawain's pace: "He.Do you think this is possible? In front of the demonic tide..."
"Have you ever thought about the power of those monsters before seeing those aberrations with your own eyes? Before the Cecil Territory was corrupted into a wasteland by the elements, had you ever thought about the true power of Chaos Magic Energy? And what you have seen so far is not even the aftermath of the real demonic tide. "
Rebecca: "..."
Gawain sighed. His words were not only meant for Rebecca, but also for the three Veronicas next to him. Listener: "So this is the reason. Seven hundred years have passed, and humans are a short-lived and short-sighted race. Now, except for the elves, everyone regards the magic tide as an ancient legend. The Anzu royal family even The entire southern region has been abandoned directly. Tell me, except for this pioneering land, is there any place in Ansu where you can directly overlook the magnificent wall? "
Earl Cohen's face changed slightly, while Veronica folded her hands on her chest, lowered her head and whispered: "May the God of Holy Light forgive the ignorant beings - human beings are huddled in the stable On the land, the boundaries of civilization have retreated again and again, and the barrier that affects everyone's life and death has long disappeared from their sight..."
"Now I am afraid that only the elves are still taking care of them responsibly. Nodes on the magnificent wall, but Anzu and Typhon are not interested in these," Gawain sighed, and then changed the subject, "But then again, the reaction of the Typhon Empire is indeed a little wrong, although people There were times when they were foolish, but their reaction... was really a sign of using too much force. ”
Earl Cohen opened his eyes slightly: “You mean, they both know that there are monsters in Anzu and believe in the threat of Gondor Wasteland, but they still choose to start a human civil war first? "
"I didn't say anything, because I don't even know what the Typhon Empire looks like today. All the old guys I met back then have long since died," Gawain spread his hands, "Don't say anything. Typhon, I have been trapped in Ansudu for several months. You have grown so barbarically in the past few hundred years. If I hadn’t seen with my own eyes many people hanging the portraits of our group on the wall, I would not have believed it. The land was really created by us back then..."
Veronica: "..."
After that, Gawain arranged a party for the guests from the royal capital.
Today's pioneering camp is still in a pioneering state. In addition to hunting some game from the nearby mountains and forests, the food in the camp mainly relies on purchasing it from Tanzan Town and transporting it here by river. Although it was originally here. I also brought a group of livestock and poultry with me, but these animals are used for reproduction. At this time, I can’t bear to kill and eat them. Coupled with the lack of food types, this banquet will certainly not be very rich, but it is obvious that Veronica is not a mean noble who would be picky in this regard. Priestess Sandy and the deputy head of the knights, Earl Cohen, who came with her are also very knowledgeable. No one thinks that the Cecil family's hospitality There is no problem with the way.
Of course, the more important thing is that everyone is generally embarrassed to pick on the ancestors.Seven hundred years of seniority are here.
After completing the handover, the three Veronicas will not stay here, but before they leave, Gawain will first take them for a tour of the camp. He is not worried that this will reveal any of his secrets, because many projects here are still in the initial stage. Even if professionals come, they may not be able to see anything, not to mention that the two priests and a battle mage are not like this. Experts in the field - they don't even know what the original furnace looks like, let alone understand the process of firing Rebecca crystal in the furnace area.
What's more, showing off property and land is the habit and code of the nobles in this world. If you don't take them around the camp, it will make the place look suspicious.
Of course, he excluded the tent with the ball from the tour - the ball was really hard to explain...
Of course, here Along the way, Gawain's attention was attracted by Sandy beside Veronica more than once. There's nothing you can do about it. With such a luminous creature with a holographic projection standing next to it, only you can do it. Seeing her abnormality, no one could bear to do anything about it. Gawain only glanced at her twice, and Veronica finally noticed.
"Do you mind Sandy's reticence?" Veronica brought up the topic tactfully, "Please forgive me, she has always been like this."
"No, just because of her It's a bit like the person I knew back then." Gawain casually made up the excuse that he had already used once in front of Amber. With the mentality of "no proof," he was always confident when making up such things. "Of course, it's definitely not the case. It's the same person, but I can't help but look at it twice. Please forgive me if I'm offended."
"Sandy won't mind," Veronica smiled slightly, and the one named Shan. Di's woman just nodded slightly, expressing some opinions, and then Veronica continued to introduce, "She has been my friend for many years. Before me, she had converted to the great God of Holy Light, and it was her , pointed out the right path for me."
The tone of a fanatical believer.
Gawain did not express his disapproval. After all, it was up to others to believe in others. This saintly princess was quite approachable when talking about topics other than faith.
And Veronica’s topic is not over yet: “Her piety is respectable, and she is taciturn in front of you, but this is because she has dedicated most of her words to our Lord. Speaking of which, I find that although everything in your territory is full of life, it seems to lack the guidance of faith?"
Gawain smiled: "I respect devout believers, but you Look, my territory now only has more than 900 people including the 100 people you brought. Everyone has spent a lot of energy building houses and reclaiming wasteland. Things like building churches and supporting missionaries can only be put aside later. . ”
“Faith will not become a burden to the people;"The direction and power of the Holy Light," Veronica smiled, "At least the God of Holy Light has taught us to be kind to others, and guide and protect all living beings with the power of Holy Light - if you are willing, I can In my own name, I will help you build the Church of the God of Holy Light here. I can assure you that except for voluntary offerings, the church will never collect a penny of money on this land. All expenses will be borne by me. Individuals come to provide, while at the same time the clergy of the Church will provide healing and enlightenment to your people free of charge. "
Gawain kept smiling: "Will such a good thing happen? "
Veronica's body seemed to be filled with a faint, holy light, and her smile seemed to be immersed in the holy light: "Please don't doubt that this is my personal way of treating you. Kindness and admiration for a legendary hero whose stories I, like my brother, grew up hearing. "
The smile on Gawain's face did not change at all: "The Cecil family thanks Her Highness the Princess for her kindness. I will consider this matter, but not now. When the territory stabilizes and the number of people under my control reaches a point where they need the guidance of faith, I will welcome your help. "
"That's okay," Veronica's glimmer gradually faded, and her smile became easy and soft, "No matter when you are in need, the Lord will care for everyone, please know these things. Although there are many gods, only the God of Holy Light can tolerate them all. At the end of the Holy Light, there is the final salvation for all foolish beings. ”
