The story told by Pittman aroused great interest in Gawain, and at the same time caused him a lot of irrepressible associations.

Many people will regard wild history and strange stories as absurd stories that are not worth mentioning, but at the same time, many people are willing to admit that no matter how absurd and uninhibited wild history and strange stories, there are always some reflections from reality.

And in those elves who have a long lifespan and a far more detailed and coherent historical record than humans, Gawain is more convinced that their legends and stories are based on facts—especially those about the ark floating and galloping above the sea, the sea of eternal night, and the giant tower that reaches to the sky, these things that are beyond the knowledge of mortals in the Loren continent are described in such detail and so conclusively in the legends of the silver elves, which makes Gawain have to think about it.

Outside of this Loren continent, there are really other continents?

Before the civilization on this continent developed, there were already civilizations on other continents?

The "primordial elves" escaped from their homeland in a kind of ark that floated and galloped above the sea, but what was the body of the ark? Judging by the description...... Could it be something like a ground-effect aircraft? Or a large hovercraft?

What about the sea that is forever shrouded in night? Could it be within the polar night? Is there a polar day and night phenomenon at the north and south poles of the planet?

And what is that legendary tower? It is obviously not some kind of natural product, but more like it is man-made, and there are projections of the starry sky and images of animals, plants and minerals inside the tower...... Could it have something to do with the ancient super civilization that left behind surveillance satellites?!

If Gawain Cecil's secret voyage back then really found the Eternal Darkness Sea and found the giant tower, then those crystals were what the other party brought out of the giant tower?

Countless pieces of information seemed to be connected together at this moment, and the cause and effect of the matter seemed to reveal some eyebrows, but when Gao Wen carefully explored and analyzed, he found that there was still no result in the analysis.

The information is too messy and broken, and there are a lot of vague legends, strange tales, and speculations in between, and there are too many uncertain things, which are not enough for him to completely put together the truth of the year!

At this moment, Gawain even had an irrepressible urge to build a big ship and go directly to the northern border of the kingdom to explore the sea, to find the sea area that is forever shrouded in night (and may also be in a long polar day state at a certain time), to see what that legendary giant tower is!

This impulse stirred in his chest, and he had to take a deep breath, silently thinking about the current resource reserves of the territory, the scientific and technological base, the industrial production capacity, and the remaining gold and silver in the treasure trove in the mountains......

"Ancestor, are you alright?" Hetty looked at Gawain with concern, and the emotional changes on the latter's face made her very worried about whether the old ancestor would die again (and depending on the situation, this death was still very uneasy), but fortunately, Gawain came back to his senses in time and waved his hand at her: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

"You're interested in the Eternal Dark Sea?" Pittman next to him said, and then frowned, "But with all due respect, even in the powerful Silver Empire, the Eternal Darkness Sea is just a story, as we all know, storms, fog, and chaotic magic fields block the entire ocean, even with the technical power of the elves, it is impossible to navigate the sea far from the coastline, and it is even more impossible for human countries after the decline of technology." Back then, before the Church of the Storm God fell, the Storm Priests were able to guide the captains to sail on certain routes around the continent, but now that the Church of the Storm God has degenerated into the Children of the Storm, there is no one left to sail on the oceans......"

It was rare that this little old man could persuade himself with such a serious attitude, and Gawain was still quite moved, but he still couldn't help asking: "It's been seven hundred years, and the countries are still trapped on the continent and can't go to the open sea?" ”

"Occasionally, daring explorers go to the ocean, but less than a third come back alive, and most of them do come back insane, distracted by the chaotic magical environment of the far seas," Hetty shook her head, "and what's the use of challenging the sea?" Wealth comes from the land, and both minerals and crops can only be obtained on land, so it is not necessary to challenge the sea. The only thing on the continent that has some exploitation of the sea is the Typhon Empire, but they have only found some magical materials near the sea......"

Hearing this, Gawain couldn't help frowning and glancing at Hetty: "Do you really think that there is no wealth in the ocean?" ”

"Wealth in the ocean?" Hetty was stunned, "Man is a creature that lives on land, what wealth can be useful to us in the ocean?" ”

Gawain looked at Hetty and wanted to have an impassioned inspiration and education, but he soon found that these teachings were of no use to Hetty, whose knowledge and vision were limited, so he could only sigh in the end: "One day you will understand that this continent is too narrow for enlightened human beings - if nothing else, there is no place to hide in a demon tide." ”

Let's have a magic wave...... Nowhere to hide......

This sentence immediately touched Hetty, but she was about to ask something more, but Gawain had already mentioned another matter: "Let's not talk about that, Hetty, I want you to help me collect some book materials." ”

"Is it still the basic spell and spellcasting theory of each faction?" Hetty subconsciously asked, this information is what Gawain asks her to collect most often.

But Gawain's answer surprised her: "No, it's about my biography." ”

"About your ...... Biography? Hetty blinked in confusion, this request was really weird, and probably only his own ancestor who suddenly jumped up when he was dead could put forward it, "What form do you mean?" Is there an official biography of the heroes of the kingdom? ”

"Not only that, but all kinds of folk versions, anything that describes my life," Gawain really couldn't explain to the other party that he wanted to find clues to the secret voyage that had happened but disappeared into Gawain Cecil's memory, so he could only make this general request, "even if it is wild history and miscellaneous stories, even absurd stories of country people scaring children." ”

Hetty's expression became strange: "What do you want these things for?" ”

Gao Wen just wanted to make up a reason, such as being interested in the changes in people's thinking in the past seven hundred years, but an amber suddenly popped out of the shadows next to him, and this amber was still in balabala: "He's idle, I want to see which Diao people want to hack him in the past seven hundred years...... Or just see how everyone praises him, and make a secret ......"

The moment Amber popped out of the shadows, Hetty had already picked up the staff and made a smooth start, but Miss Half-Elf had also gained her memory since she was beaten a wave last time, and the moment she finished her blind BB, she jumped behind Gawain, used the latter as a cover in front of her, and poked out half of her head to provoke: "rua-I don't believe you dare to face your ancestor...... Damn it hurts!! ”

Before she finished the second half of her sentence, she was dragged out by Gao Wen's ears, and Gao Wen was very curious while dragging it: "What do you think, after arranging others, you still hide behind the parties to find safety, is it possible that I won't beat you?" ”

"Oh mom, I was wrong, wrong, wrong!" Amber almost jumped, "My ears are going to cramp, my ears are going to be cramping!" ”

So the tent was filled with cheerful air......

A few days after the messenger was sent, a reply from Viscount Victor Kant was delivered to the Cecil family's domain.

The old viscount expressed great eagerness for Duke Gawain's visit, and graciously invited Gawain to visit the ancient castle and manor of which the Kant family was proud, so the day after the messenger returned, Gawain, who had already been prepared, set out on a journey to Kant's territory.

He set out in a carriage without a retinue, except for the groom and two soldiers who were driving, he only brought Amber, who was his personal bodyguard, and Knight Philip, who had just escorted the displaced people back to his territory.

When the silhouettes of the villages and farmsteads on the edge of Kant's territory appeared at the end of the road, the sky gradually became overcast, and the cold wind swept the earth with the smell of moisture and earth, and the wind brought a signal of impending rain, as if at the end of the frost moon, before the fall of the foggy moon, the land would usher in a bold rain.

After this rain, the short autumn of the Ansu Kingdom came to an end, followed by the long winter of the northern kingdom, starting with a foggy and wet foggy month of sixty days, followed by a cold month of sixty days, and the nationwide snowfall would continue intermittently until the recovery month came, and even the "southern border" where Cecil's territory was located would be covered with frost and snow.

After all, the entire Ansu Kingdom is in the north of the continent.

It is also unknown whether the outcasts of the wilderness will have time to arrive in Cecil Territory to take refuge before the coldest days come, whether the winter construction plans in the realm will come to fruition as expected, or whether the Ansu border with Typhon will go to war this winter......

Gawain pulled back the lid on the side of the carriage, and in the gradually gloomy and darkening sky, he could already see Kant's castle towering over a hillside in front of it, the ancient stone building rising from the highest point in the territory, several dark spires pointing to the cloudy sky, and the vast land below the castle was lined with town buildings.

Now that night and clouds were approaching at the same time, the early darkening of the sky gradually brightened the sparse lights in the town, and Gao Wen counted the number and distribution of those lights, judging the wealth and order of the land.

There are more lights than you think, and you can see them all over town.

A drop of rain slanted through the baffle of the carriage carport and landed on Gawain's face, and along with the raindrops came the bleak cold wind, Amber wrapped the blanket around her body in the corner of the carriage, and muttered in a daze: "Gawain, close the window......"

Gawain smiled and lowered the baffle, the sound of rain was already ringing on the roof of the carport made of waterproof wooden planks.

The carriage sped past the fertile and harvested fields of Kant's territory, and in the direction from which the carriage came, the road leading to the outside of the territory was obscured by a curtain of rain, blurring and unrecognizable......
