After Hetty's words fell, almost everyone at the scene subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Except for Betty, who didn't understand at all.

Rebecca couldn't help but think of the monsters that destroyed the family's territory, and those monsters were the products of the demon tide. She had thought that the monsters had wandered from the Gondor Wasteland, passed through the Great Wall, and invaded Ansu - after all, Cecil was located on the southern border of Ansu, close to the Gondor Wasteland, and if it was really a problem with one of the Sentinel Towers that caused the Great Wall to leak, then it was conceivable that some monsters would escape.

But now, Rebecca couldn't help but think of something even worse—what if those monsters didn't come from the Gondor wasteland, but spawned naturally in Cecil's territory?

If those monsters ...... Does it mean a new wave of magic?

"This ...... Are we going to be a little too nervous? Amber was the first to break the silence, and Miss Half-Elf struggled to squeeze out a smile, pointing to the note in Hetty's hand, "It's just a diary left by a wild mage, and the content of the record is not clear, so should it be directly associated with the demon tide?" ”

Gawain didn't refute her, but nodded: "Well, it's also possible that I'm too nervous." ”

After all, it's just a random analysis based on those inherited memories in his mind, although it is really cool to recite the historical events of 700 years ago in the first person in one breath, but after reciting it, he himself feels that this is a bit sensational.

"That's right," Amber saw Gawain nodding and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Your old man has been dead for seven hundred years, and your brain still hasn't turned back then—I know that you experienced the demon tide back then, and most likely because your psychological shadow was too ...... back then Ah!! ”

Rebecca struck the half-elf on the head with a staff and glared, "Don't be rude to your ancestors!" ”

Gawain looked at Rebecca's staff with strange eyes, and said in his heart why didn't this little girl feel rude when she beat her ancestor with the "Rest Stick Method" not long ago......

"Whatever the credibility of these things may be, when they reach St. Sunil, they must be reported to His Majesty the King," said Hetty, returning the notebook to Gawain, "as to how much the King will believe...... That's not something we can influence. ”

Gao Wen silently put away his notes, and suppressed all kinds of complicated thoughts in his heart.

Then he raised his head and looked up at the huge "sun" in the sky.

There was no canopy above the clearing, the sky was open, and a great sun was rising to the highest point of the day, and the crown of light was bringing light and heat and magic to the world.

Perhaps it is this last element that has brought about a very different natural law in this world than it does on Earth.

Gawain's gaze wandered over the surface of the giant sun, and the faint lines were supposed to be a storm on the surface of the gas giant, and he tried to find those ominous dark red patterns, but in the end he found nothing: those lines were probably really just a flash in the pan, and they were all gone at this moment.

However, the sense of urgency in Gawain's heart did not disappear, he only pressed it to the bottom of his heart for the time being, and silently planned the path to take in the future.

First of all, let's get a foothold in this world, albeit just a broken old family...... But it's better to have a starting point than to travel into a barren mountain and a wild grave.

After passing through the dense forest, the road seemed to be much smoother, probably the "law of conservation of character" really existed, and the group never encountered the attack of monsters or strange "natural phenomena" again, they successfully stepped on the official road, and successfully encountered a small caravan on the way. After paying enough money, Gawain and his party finally got rid of the dilemma of crossing mountains and mountains on their legs, and were able to rush to Tanzania in the wagon of the caravan.

The owner of the caravan, a fat northerner who had come from the rich lands of the kingdom to trade in souvenirs and herbs, was said to have planned to go to Cecil's territory for the last transaction, but when he heard about the terrible disaster that had happened in Cecil's territory, he had to turn back halfway. The fat merchant was a little wary and resistant to Gawain and the others with a murderous aura, but Hetty finally persuaded the cautious caravan owner with two pieces of gold, and even let the caravan owner give up his carriage.

Sure enough, Kaneko is the most eloquent business negotiator (convinced).

On the seventh day after leaving Cecil's territory, the gates of Tanzania finally appeared in front of everyone.

This is the first time Gawain has had close contact with a human town in this world - of course, when he first left Cecil's territory, he climbed up the mountain to take a look at his titular manor property, but at that time, the entire Cecil region had been torn into ruins by the elemental power of the riot, and a blue dragon that came out of nowhere sprayed a mouthful of salt soda into an abstract painting...... It doesn't feel very good to him, to be honest.

It can even be said that it is a little disappointing.

The size of the town of Tanzania is huge – that's Rebecca's claim. Probably because of its location on the plains, fertile land, and close proximity to the river, this place is one of the most populous towns in the southern region, with nearly 10,000 people living on this triangular flat land. The river flows from the west to the north and south of the town, irrigating large tracts of farmland near the town and serving as the lifeblood of the town, while in the east of the town is a mine, which is the most important source of income for the town.

But it was a place with fertile fields, mines, and a river that could be used as a shipping route, and it was a treasure of feng shui no matter how you looked at it, but what Gawain saw most after entering the town were yellow-skinned civilians, and countless low, dilapidated wooden houses, as well as foul streets that emitted all kinds of peculiar smells.

Since the civilization of this world is far from being developed to the extent that humans can crush nature, all kinds of monsters and beasts are included in the zoo, and there are often conflicts in the border area, the whole town is protected by a low city wall outside, and the dilapidated civilian areas are piled up inside the city walls, like moss and rotten sores in layers of huddled together, those dilapidated houses have no beauty at all, at best they can only play the role of shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a wide avenue from the city gate to the center of the town, The view on the avenue was not much better.

Gawain sat in the wagon of the caravan, looking at the street outside, and he saw the poor people in short shirts walking on both sides of the street, only a small number of people wore shoes on their feet, and most of the rest were tied with rags, and there were even poor people who could not even tie rags, while those who walked in the middle of the street were obviously much cleaner and had shoes to wear on their feet.

They don't communicate with each other, they don't even have conflicts, they just walk their own way quietly, as if separated by a world.

They live in the same town and walk on the same road, but they are as distinct as people from two worlds.

Gawain searched Cecil's memories, only to find that there was not much to refer to in this section: Gawain Cecil was born in the glorious Gondor Empire and grew up in a wealthy place, which was not the case at that time; Later, when the demon tide of Gondor broke out, Cecil led the people to fight a bloody way to the north, and everyone shared weal and woe along the way, and there was no distinction between high and low; Then Ansu was established, the pioneers established a kingdom in a wasteland, everything started from scratch, and even several founding princes and kings themselves had the experience of putting down their swords and going down to the fields to help the plow, and how did they see this scene?

And then ...... Then Gawain Cecil died on the southern border, a hero who died at the age of thirty-five, and did not live to see the day when the rich and the poor were divided in the kingdom he had created.

So he had to ask "his descendants" for advice and what the rules were on the road.

"On both sides of the road were serfs, and slave laborers in the mines," Hetty explained, "and there were poor freemen in the outskirts, who were not allowed to walk on the avenues, because they could not donate money during the monastics." In the middle of the road were decent 'citizens', and merchants or mercenaries from outside, who could afford to pay all kinds of taxes, so they could walk in the middle of the road. ”

Gawain remembered the few coins that the fat merchant had stuffed into the guards when the caravan entered the gate—presumably the tax for entering the city.

Then he remembered the soldier who had been buried in the woods—the son of the serf.

It was the result of Rebecca Haven that he was able to take up a sword and die for his lord, but even if he died for his lordship, he was not allowed to be buried in the manner of a warrior: for he had not redeemed himself, and he had not even redeemed his sword.

"Ancestor, what's the problem?" Noticing the uncertain expression on Gawain's face, Hetty asked with some confusion.

Gawain retracted his gaze to look out of the car and shook his head slightly: "No, there's no problem. ”

He was just instinctively resistant to these things with the mentality of a time-traveler, but it was not yet time for him to criticize and "correct" them.

Because he doesn't know the world well enough.

After a brief thought, he looked at Hetty, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Hetty obviously had a plan: "Go to the lord here first, Viscount Andrew is still a relatively good talker, and it should be easier to contact Knight Philip through him." If all goes well with Philip's Knight, we'll be able to find the men who broke through that day. Later, it depends on whether to settle the people in situ first or go directly to the royal capital. What happened in Cecil's territory was not to send one or two messengers, but had to be met with the king by Rebecca herself. ”

Gawain felt that there was no problem (mainly because he was an "ancestor" who had crossed over and had a gap of 700 years with modern people, and he really couldn't think of any suggestions): "Then let's do it first." ”
