Chapter Ninety-Eight: Faith in the Light
If it was the genuine Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago, the mood should be lost and even a little sad at this time, because the human kingdoms seven hundred years ago had no contradictions in the afterlife, at that time, everyone was the father and the old folks who escaped from the wasteland of Gondor, but they were divided by natural disasters and were divided by natural disasters, and several kingdoms worked together to build a defense line and exchange resources, and the honeymoon period between the Typhon Empire and the Ansu Kingdom was even as long as more than 500 years.
At that time, no one thought that everyone would have a day when they would face each other.
However, now standing here is not the genuine Gawain Cecil, but just a satellite spirit who fell from the sky, Gawain knew in his heart that he should sigh, but he was helpless and really not very good into the play, so he could only try to make his expression appear stiff and serious, and it could be regarded as a mournful emoji more than a dead heart: "Has war been declared?" ”
"It's just a line away," Earl Cohen shook his head slightly, "all diplomatic avenues have been cut off, both sides are stationing troops, and there is no reason to talk about it at this time, it depends on who strikes first." We are all speculating that perhaps within a year, the first great war between the nations of mankind will begin. ”
Rebecca, who was following her, couldn't help it: "But we have to face the demon tide, if the Great Wall really collapses, will their Typhon Empire be safe and sound?" If the monsters in the Gondor wasteland rush out, what will those monsters do not care which country you are? ”
"In fact, in his last correspondence before the diplomatic breakdown, my father had already issued a warning to the Empire," Veronica whispered, "he warned the proud Imperials that the Gondor Wasteland was changing, and that signs of distortion activity had been detected on the Ansu border, and that he hoped that the Imperials would let go of their foolish hatred in the face of this real crisis......"
Amber asked urgently, "And then?" ”
Veronica lowered her eyelids: "Then Typhon's side unilaterally cut off the magic communication on the border, and increased the army by another 30,000. ”
"It doesn't make sense!" Rebecca immediately said, "How much hatred does Typhon have against Ansu to do this?" And even if they don't believe it, at least say what it means to shut down the arraignment......"
"Because humans are not very intelligent creatures, especially when mixed with politics and aristocracy, their brains are often confused by things like interests, face, clans, and war inertia," Gawain said, shaking his head, "and Ansu said that the demon tide is coming, why should the Typhonians believe it?" They'd rather believe that you're using this excuse to delay or prepare for war, even if they do...... I'm afraid they can't wait for the demon tide to break out with Ansu as the center. ”
Rebecca blinked, and the wolf's head was stuck directly on the topic: "Why? ”
Gawain shrugged: "Because this Ansu is finished, they feel that they can directly divide the remaining profits." ”
Rebecca felt even more unable to keep up with Gawain's pace: "Do they think it's possible?" ...... in front of the Devil's Tide"
"Did you think about the power of those monsters before you saw them with your own eyes? Before Cecil Territory was corrupted into a wasteland by the elements, did you think about the true power of Chaos Demonic Energy? And so far, what you've seen isn't even a little bit of the aftermath of a real magic tide. ”
Rebecca: "......"
Gawain sighed, his words were not only for Rebecca, but also for the three Veronica next to him: "So that's the reason, seven hundred years have passed, and humans are a short-lived and short-sighted race, and now except for those elves, everyone regards the demon tide as an ancient legend, and the Ansu royal family even directly gave up the entire southern region, you can tell me, now in addition to this pioneering land, is there any place in the whole territory of Ansu where you can directly overlook the magnificent wall?" ”
Count Cohen's face changed slightly, and Veronica folded her hands on her chest, lowered her head and whispered: "May the God of Light forgive the foolish beings - humanity has cowered in a stable land, the borders of civilization have receded again and again, and the barrier of life and death for all has long disappeared from their sight......"
"Now I'm afraid only the elves are still dutifully looking after the nodes on the Great Wall, but Ansu and Typhon are not interested in that," Gawain sighed, and then changed his words, "But then again, the reaction of the Typhon Empire is indeed something that is not quite right, although people are sometimes ignorant, but their reaction is ...... There are some signs of overexertion. ”
Earl Cohen's eyes widened slightly: "Are you saying that they both knew that there were monsters in Ansu and believed in the threat of the Gondor wasteland, but still chose to start a human civil war first?" ”
"I didn't say anything, because I don't know what the Typhon Empire is like today, and the old guys I knew back then are already dead," Gawain spread his hand, "Don't talk about Typhon, I've been in the Ansu Capital for several months, and you have grown savagely for hundreds of years, if I hadn't seen so many people hang the portraits of our people on the wall, I can't believe that this land is really the ...... we created back then."
Veronica: "......"
After this, Gawain arranged a reception banquet for the guests from the royal capital.
Today's pioneer camp is still in a pioneering state, in addition to hunting some game from the nearby mountains and forests, the food in the camp is mainly purchased from Tanzania town and transported to the river, although when I first came over, I also brought a batch of livestock and poultry, but these animals are used for breeding, at this time I am reluctant to slaughter and eat, coupled with the lack of food types, of course, this feast will not be very rich, but it is clear that Veronica is not a mean aristocrat who will be picky in this regard, The goddess Sandy, who came with her, and the Earl of Cohen, the deputy head of the Knights, were also very knowledgeable, and no one thought that the hospitality of the Cecil family was problematic in the slightest.
Of course, what is more important is that everyone is generally embarrassed to pick the thorns of the ancestors, and the seven-hundred-year-old generation is here.
After the handover, the three Veronica don't stop here, but Gawain will first show them around the camp before they leave. He wasn't worried about revealing any secrets, because many of the projects here were still in their infancy, and even if a professional came, he probably wouldn't be able to see a good reputation, not to mention that the two priests and a battle mage were not experts in this area - they didn't even know what the original furnace looked like, let alone understand the process of firing Rebecca crystals in the furnace area.
What's more, it is the habit and norm of the nobility of this world to show off their possessions and land, and if you don't take them around the camp, it will look suspicious.
Of course, he excluded the tent where the ball was placed from the tour - the ball was really not easy to explain......
Of course, along the way, Gawain's attention was attracted by Sandy next to Veronica more than once, and there was no way, with such a holographic projection-type luminescent creature standing next to him, only you could see her abnormality, and no one could help it, Gawain glanced twice, and Veronica finally noticed.
"Do you mind Sandy's reticence?" Veronica tactfully raised the topic, "I beg your pardon, she always does. ”
"No, it's just because she's a bit like someone I knew back then," Gawain casually recited the reason that he had already used it once in front of Amber, and with the mentality of "death has no proof", he has always been justified when talking nonsense about such things, "Of course, it's definitely not the same person, I just can't help but look at it twice, please forgive me if I offend." ”
"Sandy won't mind," Veronica smiled slightly, and the woman named Sandy just nodded slightly, as if she was a little bit of an opinion, and then Veronica continued, "She has been a friend of mine for many years, she was converted to the great God of Light before me, and she is the one who showed me the right path. ”
A fanatic tone.
Gawain didn't show his disapproval, after all, how people believe is their business, and this holy princess is quite approachable when talking about topics other than faith.
And Veronica's topic is not over: "Her piety is respectable, she is silent before you, but this is because she has given most of her words to our Lord. Speaking of which, I find that although everything in your territory is full of life, it seems to lack the guidance of faith? ”
Gawain pulled out a smile: "I have great respect for devout believers, but you see, my territory is now only more than 900 people plus the 100 people you brought, and everyone has already spent a lot of energy building houses and reclamation, and things like building churches and supporting missionaries can only be put on hold." ”
"Faith will not be a burden to the people, but will be their direction and strength," Veronica smiled, "at least the God of Light will teach us to be lenient and guide and protect all beings with the power of the Light - if you wish, I can personally help you build the Church of the God of Light here, and I can assure you that the Church will never amass a penny in this land except for voluntary offerings, and all the expenses will be provided by me personally, and at the same time, The clergy of the church will provide healing and enlightenment to your people free of charge. ”
Gawain kept smiling: "Will there be such a good thing?" ”
Veronica seemed to be filled with a faint and holy light, and her smile seemed to be soaked in holy light: "Please do not doubt that this is my personal kindness and admiration for a legendary hero like you, and I grew up listening to your stories, just like my brother." ”
The smile on Gawain's face did not change at all: "The Cecil family thanks Her Royal Highness the Princess for her kindness, I will consider this matter, but not now." When the territory is stabilized and my people are in need of religious guidance, I will welcome your help. ”
"That's fine," Veronica's glimmer gradually subsided, and her smile became easy and soft, "Whenever you need it, the Lord will favor everyone, you must know that although there are many gods, only the God of Light can contain everything, and at the end of the Light, it is the ultimate salvation of the foolish beings." ”
