In the year 1406 of the Great Calendar, because of a series of karendipity events that happened in Audi before, the 48-year-old Ruth was finally able to set foot on the road home. With the help of the men arranged by Gartnon, he took his first child (and in fact, the fourth) with his Okemi barbarian wife and set out on his journey back to Elippi.

"Father, will the Mousse family accept me?" Unlike the elated Ruth, the son of Ruth, who is half of Okmi barbarian blood, is very apprehensive about returning to Elipi, "I heard that Audi does not recognize the children of nobles and commoners, and calls them illegitimate children with no right of inheritance, let alone my son of Okomi blood. ”

"My child, trust your father, and I will make sure that the family will accept you. ”

When he said this, in fact, Ruth's heart was also drumming, and it would definitely be no problem for him to return to the family, but it was difficult to say how many children he had with Okemi, not to mention the opposition of the family, even his original wife, I am afraid it would also be a hurdle. But it's hard to say that you have to go to Elippi, Ruth hasn't been back to Elippi for almost thirty years.

Russ now thinks of Elippi like a hungry man who lacks water thinks of water, and nothing else.

Besides, even if his last three children are really not recognized, then it is a big deal that Ruth will raise them as illegitimate children, and he will be worthy of them, right?

With this in mind, Ruth walked the official road back to Elipi. As he walked, Ruth noticed that the villages and towns along the road were more dilapidated than they were more than they were more than 30 years ago, and that almost every house had sculptures on their doorsteps that symbolized the death of loved ones.

There are still some caravans on the official road to play, but compared to the caravans of more than thirty years ago, today's caravans have more bodyguards and fierce faces, judging by their actions, it is difficult for Ruth to judge whether they have the capital to do the business they are doing.

"It's changed, it's changed," Ruth couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion after passing through the already devastated Audi border, remembering his boyhood and his friends wandering in this land, and another curiosity also came to his heart, how are his two best friends in his youth, Colro of the Birdhead Silu family and Myrta of the Birdbody Silu family, what happened now?

If they hadn't died in the upheaval of the past thirty years, they would have become old men with gray temples just like themselves, right?

With mixed thoughts in his mind, Ruth followed the messenger of the Tetra family towards Elippi, and encountered two robberies along the way, but fortunately Ruth was heavily guarded here and did not have any precious goods, and the bandits did not break out into a serious conflict with Ruth, and finally survived the thrill.

Ruth's journey home began with a journey south from the fortress of Yuliwen to the important port of Maledo, which had been an important stronghold for the barbarian king Rusdod to invade the heart of the right-wing district, and has now been recovered by the Tetra family. Here, the envoys of Gartnon seem to have been troubled by the Tetra family, but after Ruth took the lead in admitting it, the team managed to survive Malado safely.

To the west of Malado is to go to Beiche, and to the south of Beiche is the Kodebarak, where the Battle of Kodbarak, which decided the life and death of the right-wing Silu family two years ago, broke out in this land, and in the past 30 years of war, it has also been the center of repeated tug-of-war between many forces.

I think that in the good peaceful times of Ruth's youth, it was the ruling core of the Right Sector for a long time, but now it is ...... Ruth looked at the main city of Kodbarak, which had been reduced to ruins, and couldn't help but sigh, it looked like this area was going to be ruined, and he didn't know if there would be a day of recovery.

Further west of Kodebarak are the two main cities of Rawai and Yagu, which already belong to the hometown where Ruth was born and are under the jurisdiction of the Birdbody District. Of course, this subdivision was divided in peacetime, and as far as Ruth saw and heard on the road, he found that there were many villages on the Birdbody side, and there were also villages on the Yagu side that encroached on the Birdbody District, which was always a mess.

To the west of Yagu is Kidolesk, and Ruth's next travel plan is to make a turn south of Kidolesk, reach Kifuta, the core of the bird's body district, and then go to his hometown of Elippi.

However, Ruth stopped again in Kiforta, this time not because of any villain, but because Ruth met his former friend, the current patriarch of the Birdbody Silu family, and the self-proclaimed new Audi King of the Bird, Merta.

Through the introduction of the people of the Kiforta Palace, Ruth met this old friend who had been separated for thirty years, and for a time he was filled with joy and sorrow, and he could not help himself, and the happy Marta invited Ruth to a private banquet with only two people, just like he had been in his youth forty years ago.

"My friend Ruth, I really didn't expect to see you today, I thought you had died in the Hercynian Catastrophe thirty years ago, what a surprise!"

"A lot of people thought I was dead, and although it was ugly, I survived," Ruth said, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

At this time, the joy of reuniting old friends after a long absence had dissipated in Ruth's heart, and in its place was indescribable bitterness. Looking at the clothes of the Chinese calendar on Marta's body, think about yourself again...... Alas.

Ruth settled down, put aside this decadent idea for a while, and casually diverted the topic: "I don't know how Coro is? ”

Hearing this question, Ruth noticed that Marta's face was obviously stiff, and his eyes flickered, which made Ruth a little worried: "Could it be that our best friend Colro has unfortunately passed away in troubled times?"

"Death, no, no," Merta sighed, deciding to tell Ruth what was going on, "Personally, Korro is doing well now, he has become the supreme ruler of Birdhead Slu, and he is called the King of the Birds. ”

Hearing Colro's recent situation, thinking of Merta's previous performance, Ruth had already guessed the matter, and his face changed: "Have you ever seen each other with blades?"

And at this time, the phantom sound thought about Ruth's mind again, could it be that Phantom knew more than forty years ago that Merta and Colro would become the king of the Babel Birds, so he deliberately let himself befriend them?

But since Phantom reminded himself at the beginning, why did he cheat himself again in Haixi, and let himself be a slave for more than 20 years? Ruth didn't see any opportunity from Haixi.

Not to mention what Ruth thought about Phantom in his heart, the conversation between the two was still ongoing.

"Yes," the one with a wry smile was replaced by Merta, "my Bird-Body-Silu family has clashed with his Bird-headed Silu family many times, and there has been a big fight in Biu, and the Biu Academy, where the three of us studied together as teenagers, is now in ruins due to the continuous conflict. ”

"Biu Academy is dead, and the Biu Academy, which has a history of more than 600 years, just died?", Ruth asked in a tone of disbelief and a tone of pleading.

"This time it's completely dead, Biu's tutors and educational equipment have been relocated by our two families, and two new academies have been built, and Biu has become the front line of the conflict between me and the Birdhead Silu family, so it is impossible for the academy to open again until we destroy each other. Marta explained with a sigh of boo.

However, Ruth is still trying to find a reason in vain, after all, as the pride of the Audi people, the Biu Academy died like this, and the impact on Ruth is too great: "But, won't it be like the last time? The last time in the era of the heroes, the Biu Academy was also closed for more than a hundred years, but didn't it open again in the end?"

"If someone can unify Audi like the Emperor Xiudi, maybe the Biu Academy will reopen, but the situation is not optimistic right now," Merta frowned and began to explain to Ruth.

"After the death of the Shovel, Audi began,"

"I'm sorry, what is a shovel?" Hearing the unfamiliar term, Ruth looked confused, could it be that he had left Audi for more than 30 years, and it was really outdated?

"The Shovel is a word in the Celestial Realm, and it is said to be used specifically to describe the 15th generation of the King of Babel, the type of family that dies," Marta explained.

"That's really ...... With such a tragic nickname, it's no wonder that no one has ever had this nickname before. ”

"I continued, after the death of the Ao family, there have been many Babel Bird Kings in Audi, and the elders who have enveloped me have also called themselves Babel Bird Kings, and as a result of the struggle between so many of our Babel Bird Kings, there are currently 3 of them who have the upper hand, namely me, Colro, and the Tetra family in the east," Merta raised his finger.

"My Bird-Body-Silu family, in addition to controlling the Bird-Body Zone, also controls the southern part of the Left Sector, which I did five years ago, and I was also established as the heir of the family because of the successful conquest of the southern part of the Left Sector five years ago, and now I am the head of the Bird-BodySilu family. ”

Speaking of this, Merta showed a mocking expression: "Hehe, it's really ironic, if I hadn't encountered this troubled world, with my seniority in the family, it would have been impossible to become the head of the family at all." ”

Hearing Marta's words, Ruth's inner chagrin increased a little, the few companions who got along with him at the beginning, although they had a prominent family, were all side branches of the side branches, otherwise they would not have played with him.

However, in these decades of turmoil, they have reached the peak of power one by one, and only themselves have stayed in the damned Hercynian and become the slaves of the Okemi barbarians.

Merta didn't notice Ruth's frustration in his heart, and continued to tell Ruth what he knew about the situation: "After some competition, the Birdhead Slu family of Corro has also become the controller of the Birdhead District, and as for the east where you are located, I think you know best, the right-wing Slu, the barbarian king Rusto, had to fight in the right-wing area, and in the end, it was the Tetra family who had the last laugh. ”

"After my clan took control of the Birdbody Zone, they began to clash with Colro's Birdhead Slu, and the fighting in Biu in the previous years ended temporarily with their defeat in controlling Biu and ours. ”

"The current situation is that the Birdhead Silu family is constantly assisting those families in the north of the Left Wing who stubbornly refuse to obey us, and we are also assisting the two islands in the Birdfeather District, although the power of those two islands is not as strong as the Birdhead District, but the island's naval army is far stronger than the Birdhead Silu, so there is still a fight. ”

"In general, after more than 10 years of war, Audi has gradually entered a three-legged trend, and among the three forces, my Bird's Body Silu is the most worrying one, because the Tetra family is not bordering the Birdhead Silu family, and I am very worried that they will join forces against me. ”

"Will you still fight?" the question came out of Ruth's mouth, remembering the deserted farmsteads he had passed along the way.

And Merta replied in the affirmative: "Yes, before the Tetra family finishes the right sector, Colro and I will definitely have a bloody battle in Biu, and I need to take Biu to change the upcoming strategic disadvantage." ”

"Is it okay to tell me such important news?"

"It's okay, because this news is important, but it's something that everyone knows is going to happen. ”
