The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and after a full silence of more than ten seconds, the old man suddenly showed a smile with a deep meaning and said: "It seems that Your Excellency's identity is not simple, it is really too modest to say that you are a small medicine picker." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"No, I'm just curious to find out what caused this to happen here, don't think about it, old man." Rowan smiled as well.

"Well, since Your Excellency wants to know, then I will tell you bluntly that the nearby woodland was cut down and burned by Lancaster, a relative of Prime Minister Ornest, on his own order."

"The reason is that in order to build a new villa in the imperial capital at a very cheap price, he simply saved the money to buy timber and let his subordinates cut down the trees here."

"Burning the grass was when he came here to inspect the woodland before, and he burned it casually, and he didn't even have a reason, it was purely a whim."

"And the people in our village were also requisitioned by him, the men were requisitioned as people's husbands, and the women were requisitioned as maids, and it is estimated that the few women who are okay have been poisoned by Lancaster, alas." Speaking of this, the old man's eyes filled with grief and indignation, and then he sighed again and shook his head slightly.

"Building a villa? Burn it with your hands? Oh, there are ridiculous enough reasons, because of these two reasons, the whole area of great herbs has been burned, the original beautiful scenery has also been destroyed, and the people of the village are directly called as livestock slaves who are inferior to pigs and dogs. ”

"This Lancaster is really presumptuous." Although Luo Wen's tone did not reveal any intense emotions, and it seemed to be quite calm, there was a terrifying cold aura inexplicably emanating from him.

Even the old man, who had not cultivated at all, shuddered as if he had been suddenly frightened, and then looked at Rowan with some horror.

Rowan also saw the old man's startled look, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the old man: "I'm sorry, old man, I scared you, but you don't have to worry, it should be Lancaster who should be afraid now, not you." ”

"Pavilion. . . Your Excellency seems to be really trying to do something, no, but Lancaster is a relative of Prime Minister Ornest, so you'd better be careful. Feeling the cold breath gradually dissipate, the old man swallowed his throat, and the tense muscles in his body gradually eased, and persuaded Luo Wen.

"Don't worry, old man, didn't I say it, I'm just a little medicine picker, I won't do anything, you can rest assured." Rowan smiled and nodded.

"Say, that's what I said, it's that I'm thinking about it too much." The old man's eyes flashed slightly, and then he nodded and said.

"Okay, then I'll go first, old man, take care." Rowan patted the shoulders of the two old men sitting by the fire with both hands and said.

The old man who was talking to Rowan only felt a warm current suddenly flowing into his body along his shoulders, and his body, which was originally frozen with cold hands and feet, and his limbs were stiff, instantly recovered to the level of freedom of movement under this warm current.

Even if the old man moved his hands and feet, after finding that he didn't have the slightest feeling of jerky action, he couldn't help but look at Rowan in shock, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Looking at the old man's speechless appearance, Rowan smiled slightly, and then walked slowly towards the outside of the village.

At this time, on the path outside the village, a wooden carriage was moving in the direction of the imperial capital under the escort of many soldiers. These soldiers are in unison, their eyes are firmly fixed on the front, and there is a normative military atmosphere between their gestures.

It is obviously a team of excellent soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, and judging from the righteousness in their eyes that does not squint, there is only one unit in the imperial capital that can have such a quality of excellent soldiers, and that is the army under the general of the Cutting Pupil Empire, Bude.

In the carriage sat an old man of about fifty years of age, with a wooden staff in his hand, dressed plainly but revealing a kind of might, and a woman wearing a red and white snow cap, a thick shawl for her face, and a fuchsia winter dress.

With her legs wrapped in lilac stockings, her feet wearing leather boots of the same color as her clothes, her long blond hair and blue eyes, and a large gun with a height of one person, a girl about eighteen years old sat quietly beside the old man.

At this time, the old man gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the depressed scene in the village, and said: "I remember the last time I came here, this village was still thriving, and everyone lived together in harmony. ”

"I didn't expect that there were only so many old people and children left, and looking at their numb eyes sitting by the fire, it was obvious that they had been suffering from this situation for a long time."

"The state was built on the people, but now it is... Speaking of this, the old man slowly closed the curtain and sighed deeply, with a look of unbearable and sad in his eyes.

"For the sake of the people, my father did not hesitate to return to the imperial capital, which has been reduced to the control of Ornest, like a wolf's lair, I think it is very remarkable." Perhaps seeing the sadness in her father's eyes, the girl next to the old man suddenly spoke.

"After all, now is no longer the time to continue to live in seclusion for the sake of Mingzhe's self-preservation, the current Cutting Pupil Empire has not only fallen into rebellion and turmoil in various places, but also the appearance of the demon race, a terrible race that has long disappeared in ancient times."

"Under the interference of such internal and external troubles, if Ornest and them are allowed to come again, this Pupil Cutting Empire is estimated to fall apart soon, which is definitely not something I want to see."

"After returning to the court this time, the old man will definitely fight with Earnest to the end!" After hearing the girl's words, the sadness in the old man's eyes gradually faded, and he regained his spirit and said.

"Well, when I go back this time, I will definitely protect my father's thoughtfulness! Never let those guys from the Imperial Capital hurt you in the slightest! The girl smiled and nodded.

"The old man really raised a good daughter, but if he is too brave, he will not be able to get married... Speaking of this, the old man lowered his head slightly, with a look of pity and worry.

"This... It has nothing to do with what I'm talking about now! Not.. The girl's face flushed slightly, and she pursed her mouth a little in annoyance, turned her head, and did not look at the old man's side.

"Hahaha." Seeing the girl's angry expression, the old man couldn't help laughing.
