Chapter 4: Return to Regram
"Through this steel fortress, you will officially enter our empire." The all-blue train is speeding with a bold unicorn logo on the front of the train, and in the middle of the train is a pair of young men and women, with the boy pointing out the window and giving a commentary to the girl.
"Is that the famous Garelian Fortress on the mainland?" Lixia was shocked to see the all-metal monster, "What should I say?" ”
"According to the practice of the republic and the empire pinching each other, it is estimated that there will be propaganda over there to become a reckless army, which will cost the people and money." Li En's mouth was a little dry, and he took a sip of water to moisten his throat, "It is estimated that His Majesty the Emperor and the 'Iron Prime Minister' have long been propagated as the axis of evil against humanity and the world. ”
"It's not that exaggerated." Lixia was amused by Lien's exaggerated description, and her mood was much better, "But criticizing the privileges of the nobility and satirizing the constitution of the empire is really commonplace." ”
"Understandable." Li En has become accustomed to this kind of international practice, and the republic and the empire are relatively restrained, and if it really becomes the propaganda of the United States and North Korea at home, tsk, then it is called a wonderful.
With a change of light and darkness, the train drove out of the fortress, and the field of vision suddenly broadened, and the vast plain was endless.
"So, let me say it again." Rien took his seat and opened his arms, "Welcome to the Erebonian Empire." ”
"The one over there, get off the chair." The flight attendants in red uniforms did their duty and immediately stopped Lane's uncivilized behavior.
"Cut!" Li En pursed his lips, and the left side of his face said that he was unhappy, and the right face said that he was very unhappy, "Let me pretend that I will die." ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Lixia couldn't help but laugh and comforted her awkward boyfriend. It's really the same as what Sister-in-law Saya said, men, sometimes it's no different from children.
"Okay, listen to you." Lane wasn't really angry either, he just wanted to defuse Lixia's nervousness through this stupid method, "Straight down, I'll continue to introduce the Empire. The land beneath our feet belongs to the eastern state of Crutchen, and the family of the Duke of El Barrea, known as one of the 'Four Great Families', is responsible for managing this land."
"The hometown of the 'Holy Maiden of Guns' is Regram, which belongs to the state of Crutchen." Lixia's expression became a little subtle. The name Raygram was registered in her heart, firstly, because this place was not mentioned in the novel, and secondly, she cared very much about the existence of a certain girl here.
"That's right, speaking of which, your family" Li En stopped talking, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not sure about this matter myself, let's talk about it when I encounter it." ”
"Okay." Lixia didn't ask, "I'd like to go to Ragram if I could." ”
"Anyway, it's still early for the New Year, so let's go for a trip, anyway, when I come to the Jade Gongdu, I have to change cars." Since his girlfriend wants to go, then accompany her, and Lane hasn't seen Laura for a long time, so he just happened to see her. Unbeknownst to him, Lixia wanted to go to Regram not for sightseeing at all, but for the name he occasionally mentioned.
The train whizzed across the land, and soon, Balyahat loomed.

"Hey, it's really foggy." As soon as I stepped out of the Regram station, a mist crept in, and the whole lakeside town seemed to be shrouded in a light veil, both real and illusory, "just like in the novel." ”
"That's what Regram is all about." Ryne thought it was amazing the first time he came, and he got used to seeing more of it, "The townspeople say that the elves here are very naughty, and the fog means they start playing. ”
"Do elves really exist?" Lixia's figure was hazy in the fog, "You said that Lord Liana was a child who was dropped by the elves. ”
"I've heard this rumor from the town, too." As if feeling that Lixia's figure was becoming more and more unreal, Rien took her hand, "Maybe that adult is too perfect, and everyone who has seen her thinks it is too dreamy." As for the elves, I've done a bit of research. ”
"Have you ever seen an elf?" Lixia's eyes lit up, girls are not immune to this kind of story.
"My hometown of Youmir is just as steeped in elven legends as it is here." Rien led Lixia to walk on the stone-paved road, surrounded by no one and exceptionally quiet, "Unlike the elves who accompany the fog here, the elves over there are with the snow, and we have always had a tradition of making snow rabbits, which can be regarded as a ritual to pray to the elves. ”
"And then, well, nasty." Lixia's pretty face was full of antiquity, and her cute appearance made Rien pinch her nose gently.
"There is a valley trail on the edge of Yomir that leads to the Eshint Mountains, and at the end there is a stone that can be touched at any time of the day." Speaking of his hometown, Li En's expression softened, "Once I had the whim to inject internal qi into the stone, but a strange voice sounded in my head, as if I was whispering, and it seemed to be really chanting, anyway, it was a language I had never heard at all. ”
"Is that the whisper of the elf?" Lixia secretly made up her mind that she must try it when she arrives in Yumir.
"I think so." Li agreed, "Later, I also tried to inject internal qi more than once, sometimes I could hear it, sometimes I couldn't hear it. I tried various outputs at different times, but I didn't find any patterns. ”
"Have you had anyone else try it?" Lixia looked sideways at Rien, she had long liked to look at him like this, and she never got tired of looking at him.
"Well, let Teacher Yun try a few times, but there is no response at all." Li En nodded, "But Teacher Yun said that he has traveled all over the years and has seen all kinds of strange things, and it is very likely that it is a chance for me." ”
"Maybe you're protected by the elves, too." Before you knew it, she could already see the statue of the Holy Maiden, and Lixia reached out and pointed, "Just like her." ”
"So she met the Emperor, and I met you." With that, Lynn kissed Lixia lightly on her earlobe.
Lixia, who was attacked by the sneak attack, blushed slightly and bowed her head silently. If you're Dlaikels, I'm certainly not your Liana, and I'm not as dazzling as she is.
It's just that Lixia seems to have forgotten that it was not Liana who Dreikels ended up marrying, but the woman who was willing to pay silently behind his back.
(Don't be too long-winded, there are pitfalls, although not very big.) )

"There is actually a branch of the association here, hasn't the empire already begun to expel the guerrillas?" Not far from the statue of the Virgin is a small bungalow with a sign that the two men are familiar with.
"As I told you before, the administrative system of the empire is different from that of the republic, and the nobles have a high degree of autonomy in their own territories." In the eyes of people in other countries, the form of government of the empire is simply incredible, a freak of the ancient aristocracy and the new constitutional monarchy, "in other words, the prime minister ** a decree, the nobles in the realm can listen to it or not." It's just that neither the government nor the big nobles like us guerrillas dictating, so they unite to suppress the association. ”
"Then the lord here must be an anomaly in their eyes?" Lixia became curious about the lord of Regram.
"The political forces of the empire are divided into two factions, one is the aristocratic faction led by the four famous families, and the other is the reformist faction led by the iron-blooded prime minister." Li En explained the pattern of the empire to Lixia in detail, "Of course, there are still some scattered forces, although they are scattered, but they are not to be underestimated when they are integrated. The lord here is one of the most famous of the neutral forces, the 'Swordsmith of Light' Victor K. Viscount S. Alside is also the current head of the dojo you see halfway up the mountain. ”
"Yarsid? The right-hand man of the Holy Maiden of the Gun? Lixia remembers the supporting characters in the novel, and Lane praises him for his profundity and good spirits.
"That's right, it's the descendant of that one, and by the way, the title of this viscount is inherited from his lord." As he spoke, the Regram branch was already close in front of him, "Let me tell you a secret, the one in the novel I basically wrote according to the template of Viscount Victor. ”
"Then it would be understandable that he protected the association from being expelled." The two stood at the door of the association, and Lixia looked at Rien, "Do you want to go and say hello?" ”
"Since you're a guerrilla, you have to say hello anyway." Lai straightened his clothes, put on his quasi-guerrilla badge, and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone, excuse me." ”
"Please come in." A young male voice came from inside the door. The door opened, and sitting behind the reception desk was a blonde young man, surprisingly with bandages on his arms and a not very good face.
