"Yeah"
Aiwass was a little surprised when he heard this. "Teach you how to read"
"Yes," Haina said with some nostalgia and surprise, " In fact, there are very few literate people in our village.
"There are actually only more than 300,000 people in Muwan County, most of whom are herdsmen. There is only one serious city. Others are towns. Our Yingjia Village has less than a thousand people, and there are slightly more cattle herders than sheep herders. Farmers usually grow potatoes and turnips, and occasionally some grow ginger to make money.
"There are no factories or high-rise buildings in our village. The tallest building has only three floors, and there is not even a middle school. I went to middle school in another town in Muwan County. The most popular place in our village is The famous cultural person is Grandpa Jacob.
“He was a reporter in Bagpipe Town, and later he left the newspaper and became a freelance writer. Bagpipe Town is very close to our village. Although it has a population of only more than 5,000 people, there are many tourists there, where you can catch good trout and salmon, and the scenery is very good. When people from Glass Island talk about going on vacation in the countryside, they usually mean going to a few towns in Muwan County, including Bagpipe Town.
“I went to high school from Bagpipe Town, and I could even run back to the village easily on weekends. But then my mother said it was too expensive, so I stopped going back.
” My favorite thing at that time was to go to the train station and watch the crowds getting on and off the train. I think it's amazing. Getting on the train is like entering another world; and the people who get off the train seem to be in the same world as us.
"The people getting off the train seem to be illusory, like a dream or a soap bubble. When you wake up from the dream, it will disappear. Never to be seen again."
Speaking of this, Haina smiled sheepishly, "It's funny. After all, I had never taken a train at that time. There was only one railway in the whole bagpipe town. Of course, it seems like nothing now, after all, I have become One of the people who left the train."
"No," Aiwass said seriously, "I think it's funny, really."
He is still the first. I heard Haina tell her past for the first time.
When Haina talked about her hometown, she became extremely focused and very happy.
Her blue eyes seemed to shine like a flawless sapphire.
She really likes her hometown.
Haina said softly, "There is actually only one lake between Bagpipe Town and our Eagle Cape Village, and that is Sapphire Lake. It is the largest lake in Avalon and the most beautiful lake in my opinion. /p>
"There are many, many white swans living there. According to the laws of Avalon, the royal family owns the ownership of all wild swans in Avalon, so every year the Swan Minister comes to us to count the number of swans. See See if anyone is poaching swans. This is the only minister we can see from Bagpipe Town. ”
Swan Minister
p>Aiwas was speechless for a moment.
Yeah, he can be considered a minister.
According to the laws of Avalon, swans are food that only the royal family can enjoy.
It is closer to a symbol of authoritarianism than food.
Occasionally, the royal family would reward swans to some knights. It is mainly given to knights who have made great achievements, or ministers who have worked hard recently. The knight who accepted the reward could hold a banquet to show off that he had received the gift and glory.
However, in the past hundred years or so, the royal family has also begun to sell some swans to wealthy businessmen at high prices; on the one hand, this is because the knight family does not take the swans and the symbols behind them so seriously; on the other hand, it is also Because the status of businessmen is constantly rising.
The Swan Minister is a position specifically responsible for managing swans. The number of swans must be reported every year, sick or injured swans must be treated, and the number of swans regularly designated to the royal family. His immediate superiors are the Lord Chamberlains, which is the position held by the two Hermes, Arthur and Mycroft.
But this position is basically a sinecure. I am only busy for one month every year, and I spend the rest of the time fishing. Because there is no access to work, there will naturally be no chance of promotion. The status of this kind of minister in Glass Island is not even as high as that of a university professor. At least a professor can basically serve as a technical officer casually, and the level may be higher.
“When I was little, I would pester Grandpa Jacob to tell us stories. He later published the stories he told us into a book.”
Haina He said with great interest, "I still remember the content."
"The most impressive one is a story about the animal kingdom. Carnivores, led by red giant bears and golden lions, rule the world. The white horse, green deer and other herbivores fought with wits and courage, and finally defeated the giant bear and became the new king. After the golden lion swallowed the black mole, the mole dug it out of its belly."
"Hmm"
Hearing this story, Aiwass He was stunned for a moment.
He thought carefully and smiled with interest, "I see, senior sister, how can you have the aptitude to transcend the path. It seems that it is not that you have gone astray, but that you do have a compatibility beyond the path, so you will instinctively remember this story, even if you are not aware of its meaning.
"In that case, I can talk to you. Senior sister, do you still remember that when we went to the Pelican Bar, I once asked you something. Have you ever thought about this question? Why? Avalon will follow the path of authority."
"I remember."
Haina nodded honestly. "I always remember that you said I would wait for you to come to school. Tell me when you have time. I've been waiting, but it's not easy to rush you. After all, you have encountered a lot of things since you just entered school, and you are very busy now because you are about to take the final exam."
"Then I will follow nowYou said it. "
After Aiwass said this, he asked Lily to sit down beside him.
He took a sip of tea and ate some snacks, and then his expression became serious. "This is I will never tell anyone about my secrets, and after you hear them from me, you must never tell them outside. You could be put to death just for recounting the knowledge here. ”
Haina and Lily were both a little surprised to hear such a strong and serious warning.
They had never seen Aiwass take such a serious matter.< /p>
After they all swore, Aiwass nodded slowly and explained the story written by his grandfather, "This story actually has three levels. The first level is an ordinary fairy tale, while the second level tells the story of the destruction of the Kingdom of Arktos and the Empire of Herasl. The white horse symbolizes the Knights of the Round Table of Avalon, while the green deer represents the elves and the Theocracy on a huge tree, entwined with trees and vines, and the deer is the symbol of the candlestick.
"The golden lion refers to the Herasl Empire, and the mole refers to the death of Ge, which is also commonly known as the son of the moon. Because the death of Ge can only be transformed after death, they are After awakening, they will break out of the earth, like a mole digging out of the earth."
"So that's how it is"
Haina suddenly realized "The destruction of the giant kingdom Alctors. It turns out to be related to the Theocracy. No wonder the founding family has a guardian spirit."
But she was a little confused, "But at this level, it doesn't seem to be as scary as you said."
"Yes," Aiwass replied, "because he also hid a third layer of mystery in this story.
"You know, in fact, there was no authoritative government five hundred years ago. Tao. The Authoritarian Path is a fairly young path. ”
Aiwass revealed the secret history knowledge he only obtained in the middle of the game.
This is a secret that was only obtained in the Shadow of Avalon version. But in fact, it is only available in the Shadow of Avalon version. Avalon is top secret, and it is not that difficult to find out from other countries.
As the founder of the country, the Moriarty family actually has this kind of knowledge passed down within it, but the old Moriarty still has it. It has disappeared before it was passed to Aiwas.
But it doesn’t matter.
It’s okay if you don’t pass it to me. Anyway, I know that’s what the old man said. .
“Five hundred years ago, this path was called the path of strength. Knights, warriors, berserkers, challengers, and fighters are all extraordinary professions that belong to the path of power. In people's perception, the former master of this path, the Supreme Heaven, was an extremely huge bear whose whole body was burning with blood and fire. Today's Ursa Major is his constellation.
"It is said that giants have the blood of red bears, which is why they are so tall, born so strong, and can run when they hit the ground. The giant kingdom Arktos worships the Supreme Heaven because of this. They are all on the path of strength. Followers."
Hearing this, Haina suddenly opened her eyes.
"There was aThe legendary human warrior whose name shall not be mentioned, is protected by the Red Bear and possesses the great power of two paths: strength and transcendence. In the end, he defeated the strong and killed an extremely powerful white dragon. He bathed in the dragon's blood through the ritual of transcending the path, transformed into a crowned white dragon, and was promoted to the Miantiansi of the path of power.
"Later, Mian Tiansi became stronger and stronger, even surpassing Red Bear. Finally, he decided to launch a rebellion at some point. This Tiansi once again transformed into a human warrior and came to the world on his own initiative. He formed the Knights of the Round Table, and with the support of the elves, he attacked the giant kingdom, which was extremely powerful at the time and would enslave and devour other races.
“Humans, elves, dwarves, and goblins are all slaves of the giants. with recipes. They can even hunt dragons, and not even the Empire dares to offend them. "
"At the same time, Mian Tiansi and the Supreme Heaven launched a war. The white dragon and the red bear wrestled in the dream world, and even a corner of the dream world collapsed. The Luoyuan area of the dream world is now the big hole that was made in the dream world when the dragon dropped the giant bear.
"The war in the world was not good at that time, because the giants were too powerful. The twenty-one most powerful Knights of the Round Table drank the dragon's blood, sacrificed themselves, and became incarnate under the Holy Grail ceremony hosted by Guinevere. Because of the powerful phantom, they finally defeated the Giant Kingdom and beheaded the Giant King.
"The war lasted for a long time. In the end, the Supreme Heaven fell and the road changed hands. The path of power became the path of authority, and Mian Tiansi became the Silver Crowned Dragon today. Lancelot I was the only one of the twenty-one Knights of the Round Table to survive at that time. The twenty people who did not survive are the ancestors of the family that founded the country today. ”
Aiwass said meaningfully, “This is the real reason why Avalon only respects the path of authoritarianism and why Avalon is forbidden to transcend the path.” ”
