After recognizing the Bourbon family, Gross settled in Tyme and spent several years uneventful.

During this time, Gross considered himself to be having a very comfortable time, the most comfortable time since he came out of hell.

When Gross lived in Tym, he was either wandering the streets or sharing his knowledge and experience with the young Bourbon people.

In Maranch, no one looked sideways at Gross, no one wore colored glasses because of Gross's slave background or the status of the ancestor of the Warlock, they simply wore the look of the Mentor - they didn't know that Gross was just like a normal person a long time ago, and that Gross had almost forgotten this feeling.

But it wasn't all pleasant times, and the hardest time was when I answered the young Bourbon people, who were young, naïve, full of enthusiasm and unrealistic expectations, and excitedly asked Gross, how is Bourbon now?

The Bourbon they are asking about is, of course, not the Bourbons, but the mother country of Gross.

When they first asked this question, Gross looked solemn, shook his head and sighed, "If you compare it with your history, Manada's second Aesar dynasty is now Bourbon. ”

Hearing Gross's answer, the young men were surprised: "How can this be?

"The god of the sea, our gods there once said that there is no immortal empire for a thousand years," because the countries of Maz Island have one main city and one totem, so they have a wide view of the gods, and Gross did not react violently when he mentioned the god of the sea, but just let out a soft sigh, and his expression was full of loneliness.

Rather than the uncomfortable state of affairs in Bourbon, they preferred to ask about the Bourbon Sea States, and every time Gross spoke about the Bourbon Sea States, the Bourbon family would always gather many people.

For the Bourbon people of Bourbon, the state is a commercial group that uses it to expand its trade, while the country that is not Bourbon Island is a barbaric group of people who resist the invasion of Bourbon commerce, and invasion and counter-invasion are the main theme of the Bourbon maritime states - of course, after the collapse of Bourbon, the melody is a little chaotic, but at present, it is harmless.

Unlike the Bourbon Sea Kingdoms, for the ethnic groups of the Isle of Maz, at least for the Manadas, the state is linked to attributes, and the Manadas believe that a group of people with the same attributes come together and form a family under the leadership of the nobility, and families with the same attributes form the state.

So a long time ago, it was a group of righteous nobles who formed the family, and the righteous family, guided by the gods, formed Manada, which was a righteous nation, corresponding to the barbarian crowds around it.

Later, Zila became an independent state, and since the country was established, no matter how unwilling they were, no matter how much they denied it verbally, they were also free from barbarism. However, the Manada people still invented a concept, evil, and the Zira people are an evil race that formed an evil family and established an evil nation under the guidance of the evil gods.

Justice, evil and barbarism, this is the ideology of the ancient Manada people, and as the embodiment of justice and civilization, the Manada people naturally have the power to conquer evil and barbarians.

In the time of Maranqi, the thinking changed again, because the people of the Golden Horn needed to rebel against the Manadas, but if the other party was righteous, how could you resist? So Maranqi created a new idea again, Rotten.

Manada has decayed, they are the representatives of corrupt justice, and Maranqi is the representative of the new justice, the so-called new justice, is the republic. Regardless of the value of this idea, at least he gave Ma Lanqi the righteousness of rebellion, whether Manada believed it or not, Ma Lanqi believed it anyway.

The righteous Maranqi, the corrupt Manada, the evil Zla, each country has its corresponding attributes, and every Maranqi Manada believes in this, and believes that even if there are other countries, other countries should be like this, with their own attributes.

However, now that Gross has arrived on the island of Marz, bringing news of the Bourbon Sea Kingdoms to the island of Maz, the Manada people (Bourbon only) know that not every country has its own attributes.

(Actually, Bourbon used to have similar things, Bourbon is civilized, so it has the obligation to educate other countries, which is the meaning of the North Merami Religious District.) But when Gross was born, this set of things was not mentioned in the Bourbon, so Gross was very new to this thing. ）

And some of the things that Gross brought with them also frightened them.

"The Bourbon Sea nations are really fickle, today they are allies who fight side by side, tomorrow they become enemies with swords, and the day after tomorrow they become allies who support each other, so that cunning is believed and the gods do not punish them?"

Gross was inexplicably surprised: "Punishment? Why punish? They didn't break the peace treaty, they all declared war on each other after the deadline of the peace treaty expired, and they didn't break the law, what reason did the gods have to punish?"

Then the two parties fell into embarrassment because of cultural differences.

Gross lived in Tyme for many years, and after a few years, the patriarch of the family, Luhr, retired completely, because he began to have Alzheimer's, and after a few years, the patriarch Lul also died. The older generation has retired, the new generation has come to power, and the young people who gathered around Gross to ask questions have become the new pillars of the family one by one, going to various places to make a living, and those who stayed by Gross's side have been replaced by the next generation.

At this time, in 1616, Maranch formed an envoy and sent him to Zla to discuss the merchant issue with the other party, and the representative of the envoy was the Bourbon family.

"I've been on Maz Island for so long, and I still only know the name of Zla in the west, so I have a curiosity, and I plan to take this opportunity to take a look, and by the way, see how Malanqi is outside the Golden Horn. ”

The Golden Horn is located on the northeastern corner of the island of Maz on a bulge that is actually a peninsula. To the south is the Comon Coast region, which consisted of Lonidosi, who became independent with Maranch in 1367, and Messini, who was sold by Manada to Maranch in 1520 (a small forest area before being sold), and Maranch, who also developed some more land.

However, the envoys did not pass through the Coast of Bimónga, but went west to the Watchmen, and then through Soth to the Frontier, which was now the land of Zla.

"The Frontier Region is the oldest and best-developed land in Manada, and many of the historical and ancient cities of the Manada people are located in the Frontier Region, such as the birthplace of the famous Fassaka dynasty, which is in the Frontier Region, but now it ......," said Matak, a member of the Bourbon family who led the team, with a look of uncertainty on his face, "Only Sos remains." ”

Gros looked up, at this time the envoys had already marched to the city of Soth, the wall in front of Gros was the wall of Soth, the significance of Sos to the Manada people is self-evident, 761 years ago, it was here that the Manada people established their own country, and the place where the Soth tribe stopped migrating is here.

After entering the city, the envoys would rest here for a while, and then send the envoys to negotiate with Zla to provide the records to the envoys, after all, the former capital of Manada has become the border city of Maranqi.

While the delegates went to consult with the envoys of Zla, Matak took Gross to explore Sos with great interest, first looking at Mount Sos in the east, the highest mountain in the entire Maranch country, and then to see the former Bourbon family home of Soth, which Matak introduced with a dance.

"Lord Gross, this land is the land where the ancestors lived back then, and the place where Damador's ancestors were enclosed is not far away, just a little next to it. ”

At this time, Gross and Matak were in a charred black land, thousands of years had passed, and the place where the Bourbon ancestors had lived had become a ruin, although the Bourbon family had tried to restore it later, but after all, it was hundreds of years late, and it was guaranteed that it was already very good in this place.

As he walked here, Gross leaned down and touched the ground, which had just rained a while ago, causing the ground to be wet and wet. Gross looked up at the clear sky and thought that a thousand years ago, it was here that the navigator Lull and his group built their ships, and they wanted to return to Bourbon, to return to that powerful homeland.

A thousand years ago, when the "navigator" Lul was building a ship, did he look up at the sky and miss his motherland thousands of miles away like me?

After browsing the Bourbon ancestral house, Matak led Lul to a camp full of people where the city guards were stationed.

Matak waved his hand away from the chief of the city guards who were trying to pay his respects, and pointed here and said, "Lord Gross, do you know?

"So at that time, my father Ksur marched with his army to Soth to garrison it in advance, and set up a camp on Mount Soth, and fought a battle against the army of the Zla, and luckily won, cutting off their filthy tentacles that stretched out to Soth. ”

"It is precisely in this way that in the later "Zlama Lanqi Declaration", Sos is our land of Maranqi, otherwise it will be lost to Zla. ”

"Your father?"

"Yes, my father," Matak looked proud of his father when he said this, "If it weren't for the fact that the consul could not have come from the same family for two consecutive terms, otherwise my father would have been on the throne of the consul with this merit, but after two terms, my father is too old to help it." ”

After seeing the camp, the two came to the square of Soth, and there was a stone statue of the republican mentor Lul.

"The statue and the square look new. ”

"Alas, the square was only made after we ruled the local area, but the original stone statue does have a history of hundreds of years, but after the war more than thirty years ago, it is gone, and the stone statue you see now is a new work more than ten years ago. ”

Gross stopped talking, and the fate of Soth Square and the stone statue reminded Gross of the General Assembly Palace and Meate Square in Boris. As the feeling of homesickness grew, Gross looked down, and reluctantly walked with Matak for a while, then returned to the hotel to lie down and rest.
