Although only with this titular Zeng Zeng Zeng ...... Less than a day after the great-granddaughter got along, Gawain still had a very strong impression of Rebecca, and more than once wondered if the child had been caught in the head by something when he was a child......

It stands to reason that it won't be, even if you remove the elite education that the children of the nobility must receive, her own identity as a spell caster can almost prove her IQ, after all, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can grasp......

On the other hand, the others are in no mood to pursue the problem of Rebecca's speech but brain, and even Hetty, who has always been very strict with Rebecca, is only deeply worried at the moment: "You mean...... Are the monsters that appeared in Cecil's Collar seven hundred years ago? ”

Gawain sighed, "Look at how strange you are to those monsters, I guess I haven't seen them in hundreds of years." ”

"Those years of war with monsters after the end of the Pioneer Period are a thing of the past," Hetty shook her head slightly, "Although there are records in the history books, the most recent records are at least six hundred years old...... As far as I've learned, the monsters that roamed the wasteland of the ancient empire did harass Ansu for a long time, but since the elves helped humans build those Sentinel Towers, those monsters have become a legend completely......"

Gawain frowned slightly: "Sentinel Tower...... Elve-built things don't go out of their way so easily. ”

"This must be told to His Majesty," Rebecca said with a serious face, suddenly clenching her fists hard, "Monsters that disappeared hundreds of years ago have suddenly reappeared in the Empire, and someone must quickly pass the information back." And Cecil suffered heavy losses from this unwarranted disaster, and we ...... We have to turn to the royal family for help......"

Gawain thought about "his" great achievements back then, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, with the status of the Cecil family in Ansu and the influence I left behind, I think the city of Saint-Sunil will spare no effort to help you rebuild your territory." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, instead of showing a look of peace of mind on his faces, Hetty and Rebecca looked extremely strange.

Gawain was confused: "Uh...... What's going on? ”

Could it be that after 700 years, the name of the legendary founding duke, Gawain Cecil, is no longer recognized in this country?

"Ancestor ......" Hetty's face looked extremely ugly, and she bit her lip several times before she finally made up her mind, "Actually, I wanted to tell you something when I was in the tomb, but ...... I can't really put it into words. ”

Gao Wen had vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he still nodded: "You say, I'll listen." ”

"The glory of the Cecil family is gone, although you are still considered by the kingdom to be the legendary founding duke, but ......" Hetty glanced at Rebecca with some embarrassment, "But Rebecca, who inherits the family title now, is just a viscount, and this Cecil is ...... It's also the family's last territory. ”

Gao Wen was dumbfounded: "...... Ha?! How do I remember that I was already a duke when I 'died', and that I was hereditary? The territory extends from Cecil's territory all the way to the plain of the Holy Spirit...... What happened to the descendants of Cecil in the back? Did the assassin kill the king or raise troops to rebel? ”

Hetty lowered her head in shame: "...... A lot can happen in 700 years, and so can the family, and so does the country. Today's Ansu is no longer the first dynasty, but the second dynasty, and the Cecil family is no longer a feudal vassal who supports the royal family, but a stigmatized person who has been exiled by the royal family. ”

Rebecca next to him took Heti's words: "A hundred years ago, the last king of the Ansu First Dynasty, Dalyan III, died of a violent illness and left no heirs before his death.

"In the third week after the end of the Misiksu Moon, the court struggle erupted into a civil war, and the royal family and the nobles behind them began to engage in a direct armed confrontation - and the Cecil family was also involved......

"The bane is the Marquis of Grumman. Archduke Cecil was very old at the time, but still very healthy, and his relationship with his eldest son, Grumman Cecil, was very strained, and the Marquis Grumman probably sensed the crisis...... secretly planned and participated in the civil war that year. Because he had not yet inherited the power of the family and did not have enough appeal, Marquis Grumman hit the legendary ancestor with his idea......"

Gawain covered his head: "I remember, my shield was taken away by him, right?" ”

Hetty nodded, and continued for Rebecca: "Marquis Grumman first put the then Grand Duke Cecil under house arrest, and then took your holy relic from the ancestral tomb, the shield of the Guardian of the Kingdom of Ansu, and then declared his support for Prince Tosh in the name of the heir of the Cecil family, in March of the same year, Prince Tosh was assassinated and killed, and then Marquis Grumman quickly announced his support for Prince Fidic, and in April of the same year, Prince Fidic committed suicide in defeat......

Gawain: "......"

But that's not all, Hetty has a lot to say: "After that, the Marquis of Grumman approached an uncle of Dalyan III, and he used his eloquence to broker an alliance, but the following month after that, the Northern Grand Chancellor Hunn Wilder, who had not been involved in the civil war, suddenly pushed a teenager onto the stage and declared that the boy was the illegitimate son of the previous king. The Grand Duke of the North then used this as a bargaining chip to participate in the civil war, which ended in the month of Fog in Ansu in 636. On the eve of the end of the civil war, the Marquis Grumman tried to declare his allegiance to the new king again, but before he could make a statement, he was attacked by both sides of the battlefield and died by the sword.

"After that, it's the Second Dynasty of Ansu. Of course, about the term 'Second Dynasty'...... It's still a sensitive topic. ”

At this time, Amber, who had been listening to the side and didn't speak, suddenly said slowly: "The whole farce only lasted for a year, but it brought a big reshuffle to the order of the entire kingdom...... Who on the entire continent doesn't know this history? ”

"Because it was an illegitimate child who came to the throne in the end, this war in private is also called the bastard war," Hetty said, "The civil war involved a large number of nobles, so there are quite a few families involved, but this is still part of the rules of the nobility, plus the extreme chaos in the country at the beginning of the establishment of the second dynasty, the new king urgently needs to clean up the order, and this requires the power of the old nobles, so most of the families have not been wiped out, except for the ......"

"Except for those who jump the hardest, right?" The corners of Gawain's mouth twitched uncontrollably, this whole history made him, an elder who had looked down on the people in the sky for more than 100,000 years, feel extremely uncomfortable, and could only sigh that life is more exaggerated than the novel - the novel also talks about a basic logic, why is that Marquis Grumman so talented, "I guess there is no more tossing than Grumman Cecil, right?" ”

"After that, the Cecil family collapsed," Hetty lowered his head, "the fate of the family may have been worse, but your reputation and the efforts of the old duke have finally preserved the family's bloodline and the last bit of foundation, but since then, the name 'Cecil' can no longer be the center of the kingdom, as you can see......"

Gawain followed Hetty's gaze and looked at Miss Rebecca Cecil, whose brain had been trapped.

Rebecca noticed Gawain's gaze and turned her head: "Ancestor? ”

"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate......" Gawain covered his forehead, although he was not the true ancestor of the Cecil family, but the glory of the Marquis of Grumman's achievements and the bizarre deeds had reached the point where those who heard it were shocked and those who saw it wept, even if he listened to it, he sighed, "And that loser also lost my shield......

Hetty Rebecca: "......"

The old ancestor scolded the grandfather again, and it was really good for the junior not to speak.

Fortunately, Gawain was not the real party to the incident, and he quickly adjusted his mentality - this became an amazing broad-minded and powerful person in Hetty's opinion, and then shook his head slightly: "Forget it, pursuing these past things is not helpful to the current situation, no matter what, those monsters that reappear are a huge threat to the human world, and the king of St. Sunil City can not pay attention to the declining Cecil family, but he can't ignore those monsters, Therefore, he must also pay attention to us who have escaped from this disaster. ”

Hetty nodded vigorously, "What you said is very true. ”

After that, Gawain had no interest in talking, and the dim and cramped underground passages consumed everyone's desire to talk, and all that was left was to speed up and continue to hurry.

Fortunately, the straight underground passage could cross the entire Cecil Territory as quickly as possible, and the nearest exit was not too far from the castle, and after a long journey, Gawain could tell from memory that they had reached a suitable exit.

Under the blessing of the earth element, the ancient tunnel staircase did not collapse in the slightest, and it was quite fortunate that the area near the exit was not completely buried by earth and rocks, and after removing some tree roots, vines, and floating soil that blocked the exit, the fresh air finally blew on everyone's face for the first time in a long time.

See the light of day again.

The Byronic knight led the soldiers to jump out of the cave first, and only after they sent a safety signal did the others rush out. Rebecca climbed to the ground and immediately took a deep breath, then whispered cheerfully, "Let's get out!" ”

Gawain followed Rebecca to the ground, and he was as excited as the latter, if not more.

A vast world.

His first instinct was to raise his head and look at the sky.

Unfortunately, it was night outside.

But he should also be grateful for this night, allowing him to see this otherworldly starry sky for the first time.

A little white light had faintly appeared in the sky, and the approach of dawn made the stars in the sky appear thin and dim, and the sparse stars seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, hazy and alienated.

It's a complete stranger to the stars.

The white light on the horizon is getting brighter and brighter, the night has passed, the dawn is coming, everyone who escaped from the underground tunnel is now immersed in the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and Gawain is even more with a strange joy and excitement to meet the direction of the rising sun, he opened his hands, as if to embrace the sun of this new world.

Then he saw an unprecedentedly large, glowing arc of light spraying a faint mist gradually rising above the horizon and spreading light all over the world.

That's not the sun.
