After three and a half days of bumpy rides in the pickup truck, almost non-stop except for the necessary meals and rest, it took nearly a week in total to finally reach a city in the Fertile Valley: Sweet Frost City.

The driver was a local, enthusiastic, talkative, and shrewd, chatting with Rohr along the way, describing to him the precautions and customs of the fertile valley, but without a word of mouth, let alone asking Rohr's purpose and purpose, the two got along very well.

Eventually, he took Rohr to the door of a trustworthy inn, greeted the owner, and it was time to part.

"Mr. Rohr, if you are still willing to take my car on the return trip, you can ask this owner to contact me."

"Okay, thank you, you're the best tour guide I've ever met in this world."

Rohr also said sincerely, shaking hands with the other party.

"If you need a new guide, you can also talk to your boss and I promise he will introduce you to the most reliable person."

The driver said goodbye and sat back in the car.

"Thanks, I'll think about it."

Rohr said, waved his hand, and the two parted.

The driver should have left directly, but there was a look of hesitation and confusion on his face, and finally as if he had mustered up courage, he pressed the horn and stopped Luo Er, who was about to enter the hotel.

"Mr. Rohr, I also have a daughter, who just turned 8 years old this year, very cute, and lives in the town of Zaza, not far from here......"

He stopped talking and didn't finish his words, but Rohr had already guessed from his eyes and expressions.

He feared that the conflict might erupt here would affect himself and his daughter......

It is an emotional communication that can only be understood between fathers.

can be arranged by Princess Anya's butler to be a guide, the driver obviously knows something, and he also understands that Luo Er can't be an ordinary villager, but he doesn't dare to say more.

He probably held back his words for a long time along the way, right?

Every father is not easy.

Rohr sighed in his heart and walked into the hotel.

The boss had already prepared a clean room for him, and asked in the not-so-standard imperial Chinese:

"Need help getting your lunch to your room?"

Luo Er was slightly stunned, and then realized that this world does not only speak one language, but the driver's imperial Chinese is too good, giving him this illusion.

"Okay, bring it to me later."

Rohr slowed down as much as he could, lest the other party not understand, and then asked:

"Are there many people here who can speak Chinese? Do I need to hire a translator? ”

"Most of the people in the city understand that if you don't go, you don't need those rural places."

The boss replied in awkward imperial Chinese.

Rohr nodded, and asked about the prices and expenses here by the way.

"One day, 5 Easter, including meals, and your donkey's, feed."

"50 East, there is, the most beautiful girl in the city......"

The boss gestured with his hand as he gestured with the numbers, and finally gave him a 'knowing' smile.

Rohr also has a bottom in his heart, the prices here are cheaper than Yorktown, the most remote part of the empire, and East is still a particularly hard currency, so there should be no need to worry about not having enough money.

Of course, the girl doesn't have to......

He went back to his room and ate a lunch similar to that of the Empire, which unexpectedly tasted okay?

Then, he lay back on the bed, relieving the fatigue of the journey, while sorting out the information provided by the driver along the way, and the various situations he saw.

The ruling regime here, called the 'Duchy of Maude', is nominally and de jure part of the Holy United Kingdom, but because of its special location and geopolitical influences, it is not under the care of the United Kingdom, and its citizens are not recognized, and it is more like a dispensable vassal state.

At the same time, empires, barbarians, aliens, and so on are secretly cultivating forces and agents here, and the entire fertile valley is basically torn apart.

Like this Sweet Frost City, it belongs to the forces supported by the empire, so the imperial Chinese language makes sense here.

"Obviously, the territory is quite large, the population is not small, the natural resources, hydrology and climate are very good, and it should be a truly rich treasure land, but it has become the dilapidated ...... it is now."

Rohr sighed in a low voice.

He came all the way from the imperial capital, and he had the feeling of traveling through time and space, as if he had suddenly come from a thriving civilized world to a primitive and backward barbaric land.

He had witnessed a lot of people living in misery, and as he passed through those villages, there were always some ragged people, looking at their pickup trucks with curiosity and fear.

It will become like this, the historical reasons are inexplicable, and Rohr has no heart to study it, he is just here to find his daughter, not to engage in charity.

After taking a nap, he left the hotel and wanted to go out for a walk, but before he had gone a few steps, he was surrounded by a large group of dirty children, all of whom stretched out their hands and spoke in the local dialect he did not understand.

Rohr was very resolute and gave nothing, then hurried back to the hotel, found the boss, and asked him to help find a guide.

Moments later, at the 'high price' of 2 Easter a day, he hired a local youth named Zaza, who also spoke the imperial Chinese fluently, and said he was familiar with most of the Fertile Valley.

It's just that if you want to leave Sweet Frost City, you have to add money! Double!

"You're right not to give things to those kids, and if you do, you'll end up having to take out everything you have, and you'll be remembered by some people with bad intentions."

"Are you really not going to look for a woman? With your generosity, the women here will fall in love with you like crazy! ”

"Need a referral from me? There are ...... from 8 to 80 years old."

While taking Rohr around the streets, Zaza gave him the 'customs' of the place to educate him, and he was very enthusiastic, obviously very satisfied with this high-paying job.

"No need, I'm more interested in ancient ruins, where can I inquire?"

Luo Er declined the other party's kindness and asked directly.

But the guide showed a puzzled look on his face, and asked rhetorically:

"Sorry, I didn't understand too much, what did you just say, what was ancient?"

His confused appearance was not disguised, he really didn't know.

Luo Er was also a little speechless, he knew about the ancient ruins in the empire, but the locals here didn't know anything?

This is a bit of a problem, and he seems to be overestimating the flexibility of information in such backward areas......

In this kind of place, there is not even a telegraph, and it is normal for the news to be blocked.

How are you going to find your daughter now?
