Because of Lulunaka's interruption, Patin stopped talking about the turning point that had been a hundred years ago for the Twin Eagle Empire in decline. And Lulunaka's words do have some truth, what happened back then, even now, is still a mystery. In the midst of civil strife, Paladin Paladin disappeared in the midst of the war, and no one knows. Perhaps it was the disappearance of the country that was becoming more and more crumbling - some time before the outbreak of civil strife, the Twin Eagle Empire was already in turmoil, with struggles between nobles, royalty and nobility, as well as revolts among the commoners and peasants...... Looking back from the history books that record history, I am afraid that the fall of the Twin Eagle Empire was not just the disappearance of Paladin. His disappearance was more of a fuse, leaving out of disappointment with the Empire - some believe, his civilian origins, perhaps led him to do such a thing.

But there are also those who believe that Paladin is indeed dead, in the cracks of various forces within the empire. Paladin was loyal only to the Empire, but only to his own family, and even to his own people, and that was a great deal, even to the emperor at that time. For those who were fighting against each other at the time, a man like Paladin, who insisted on neutrality and did not take sides, may have been a nuisance to the eyes, even if he was the sword and shield of the empire and the guarantee of victory.

All historians who have studied the mystery of Paladin's life and death have their own opinions, but in the end they are only speculation and conjecture. No one knew what had happened, but the closest to Paladin at the time were the men of his legion. But these soldiers were reduced to bones and buried in the northernmost part of the forest, which is where the name of the Forest of the Dead comes from. There were so many dead people here that the only ones who survived and escaped back to the King's Fort were soldiers. In them, they can only understand how terrible everything is that happened, but they can't know how it happened.

For Patin, the Twin Eagle Empire is not his homeland. As a foreigner, he only learned about it from some books, and he didn't really have much say about it.

At this time, Olga spoke, "The place where Tours spoke of is no longer a residential area. ”

"yes. "His home was razed to the ground decades ago. ”

Tours had given the address of his home, which was a civilian quarter, but it no longer existed. Seventy years ago, during the riots of the castle of Kings, the residential area that had once been there was reduced to ruins due to the riots of the commoners, the suppression of the nobles, and the struggle between the nobles and the emperor, and the fire burned for three days and three nights, as if the expeditionary force had once again come to this historic city. Since then, it has taken several years to clear the rubble of charcoal, bricks and dust, and the residential area has been moved to another location.

Until now, there are still not many people living there, and it has become a place left by the desperate poor.

"Mr. Tours didn't have the opportunity to go into town, and I don't think he would have seen what had become of his home. Lulunaka said. She sat down beside Tours, groping around around as if she were looking for something. "But it was a riot decades ago, and it didn't have much to do with his family. When there was a riot, maybe his son was already an old man with a white beard, and his daughter had become a calculating old woman, and what happened to his descendants in the riot...... It wasn't something he could care about, it was too far away for him. ”

"What will it be like for you? is it a distant past, or is it just yesterday's story?" asked Olga.

Lulunaka touched her chin, wondering what to answer. Lulunaka then said, "Are you asking a woman's real age?"

Olga shrugged, "Should I call you a lady?"

Lulunaka shook her head, "No, I'm still a girl, and I'm still far from being called a lady." She said something that no one else would believe, but she didn't answer Olga's question. "How could I possibly know what happened back then? It's more than a hundred years ago, and the people who lived through it and are still alive may all be old and dead. Maybe you can go to the long-lived elves to ask, but I think most of them don't have a chance, most of the elves are in the territory of the Crescent Empire in the Yilan Continent, but they are not something you can touch. At most, you'll meet some wild elves who have lost their knowledge, and that's about the same as savages. ”

Olga knew that her question would probably not go unanswered. Lulunaka's concern was not about her age, but about what had happened to Tours. Regardless of whether Lulunaka lived through the events of the year firsthand, or if she had grasped the truth of history for some reason, as long as she didn't intend to speak, then no one would know what she really thought - and Olga wouldn't necessarily really believe Lulunaka's words.

"The truth has returned to dust with the dead. "All the things that are now said about those days—the mystery of Paladin's life and death—are only speculations and conjectures of historians." Those who really know may be dead. ”

"Not necessarily, maybe there are a few people alive in the know?" Lulunaka laughed, "And, maybe Paladin is still alive, for a paladin who has crossed the Silver Rank and walked above a realm that you are far from seeing, it is not difficult to live for hundreds of years." Maybe he's hiding somewhere, living like a farmer?"

"That's an interesting statement. Hearing Lulunaka's words, Patin was silent for a moment before speaking, "But it's an unpleasant statement. ”

Lulunaka's words would indeed anger historians, religious figures, and knights who leaned toward the church, whether it was the Church of Light or the Church of the Holy Spirit. It would be a blasphemy for a Paladin to be reduced to a mountain village and a wild man, and it would be a blow and insult to the reverence and canonization of Paladin for many years.

But no one in the Forest of the Dead would be angry at Lulunaka's words, and no one would blame her. Olga, a nomadic descendant from the Yilan Continent, naturally does not have any sensitivity to the things of the church, and even has no feelings about the Crescent Moon Sect that has spread from the Yilan Continent to the easternmost part of the Oran Continent - he is just a nomad who has traveled for many years, and even if he believed in the Crescent Moon when he was a teenager, he has already been talked about now.

As for Pattin, he was just a renegade knight who had escaped from the Church of Light and had come to the east of the continent - even though he never admitted in his heart that he had betrayed his faith - and now he was even just a ronin stripped of his knighthood. He also doesn't have that qualifying duty Lunaka.

Here, no one will oppose Lulunaka, and no one will want to do so. No one wants to anger this "girl" who doesn't know what she's thinking.

Lulunaka clapped her hands and said to Olga and Pattin, "I think it's time for this little party to end, and now I need your help with something: find a good place to bury Mr. Tours." What do you think? I don't think a skeleton can follow us. Of course, this skeleton could have been done before Mr. Tours' spirit left, but not now. ”
