Perhaps companions can only get together when they are in the academy, but as they grow older, after leaving the academy, Rus, Marta and Colro rarely see each other, and they are separated.

In 1376, the eldest of the three, Colro, was the first to graduate from Biu Academy, and his internship after graduation was on an island far from the mainland, which for Ruth was extremely far away, and it sounded terrifying.

Sure enough, in the 2 years since he left Biu Academy, Ruth never saw Colro again, only receiving two New Year's gifts from Colro on New Year's Day.

In the year 1378, Ruth and Marta also graduated, and with their graduation from Biu Academy, I am afraid that they will also get together less and leave more in the future. Merta was lucky, and it is said that he went to a wealthy town in Kiforta and became an assistant to the angels there, and the family of the angels was a vassal family of the Bird-Body-Silu family, and there were certainly no twists and turns in Merta's career.

Ruth, on the other hand, was assigned to the frontier of the Right Wing Zone, Hercy, which was further east than Yuliwen (the name of the main city), and the Audis had not been there as long as Ruth's father's age.

"Ruth, be careful when you go there alone, I've heard that the place called Hercy is full of tyrannical Okemi barbarians, and is full of hatred for us Audi immigrants. ”

On the last night before departure, Ruth came to party with Myrta as before, which was also a parting party for the two.

"Yes, there is no one in the family who went to Hercy with me, my son is only 1 year old, and I don't feel comfortable letting him go to such a wild place with me, so I can only let Xi'er (Ruth's wife) stay and take care of him, and my luck is really bad. ”

Speaking of this, Ruth found that he had made the atmosphere too stiff, and Marta's face became bitter, so Ruth quickly changed his tone and turned to cheer himself up.

"But on the bright side, the current Hercy is no longer the Hercynian when it was just developed a few decades ago, I heard that when I went there a few decades ago, dozens of Okemi barbarians were killed every day, and we Audi immigrants were also slaughtered by Okemi barbarians in batches, and there were conflicts all day long. ”

"But now, the Okemi barbarians are either learning to be a qualified Audi, or they are far away from Hercy, whether it is to go further afield, or to the River Styx, in short, the frequency of their harassment of Hercynian has greatly decreased, and in time, we Audi will be able to turn Hercynian into a second Yu Liwen, just as we have done in the past. ”

Sure enough, as soon as he was cheered up, Ruth's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he found that going to a place like Haixi was not so terrible: "When things are on the right track where I am, I will take my wife and children there, and then my family can be reunited again." ”

"Well, be happy, but don't be blindly optimistic, don't let your guard down, don't forget that 6 years ago, an Okemi barbarian riot broke out in Hercy, and many people died," it seems that Marta still checked a lot of information, and even knew about the Hercynian riot 6 years ago.

Ruth hugged his close friend, said goodbye to him, and went back to his wife and children.

After a few more days, Ruth finally set out, because Hercy was farther away than Kifuta, so Ruth had to make sure that Maretta set out first. Of course, Ruth would not go directly to Hercy, he would return to send his wife and children to Erippi's hometown first.

When Ruth set off, Merta still came out of the Biu Academy to bid him off, looking at Myrta who was shaking at him, Ruth sighed, I don't know how long it will take for him to be separated from Merta this time, and even play with Myrta and Colro again like in the past few years.

"The good times are gone, young traveler, please do not be sad, for a bright tomorrow is still far away," the melodious singing voice came from behind, with the unique charm of Merta's voice. The song was a traditional Audi song, and Ruth knew that it was Marta comforting herself.

Upon hearing the song, Ruth jumped onto the carriage and shouted into the distance with amplified magic: "You are safe too, my dearest friend Marta, may we meet again!"

Hearing Ruth's reply, Merta continued to finish the parting song unhurriedly, until Ruth's carriage disappeared from view, and Martha muttered to herself: "Goodbye, my dear friend, thanks to the blessing of the god of the goshawk, we will be able to meet again." ”

At this time, it is spring ploughing, just when the two nobles say goodbye affectionately, the farmers on the outskirts of Biu are still plowing the land without raising their heads, after all, living in Biu, there will be nobles graduating and then saying goodbye every year, and the farmers of Biu have seen more and are already strange, compared to those nobles who are sad about parting for their best friends, the farmers of Biu still go to pray that the time for the lord's spring service to be shorter this year.

In 1378, at the age of 20, Ruth graduated and, after bidding farewell to his best friend, wife and children, followed his family servant on his way to Hercynian as a trainee officer.

It was generally fine when moving forward in the western part of the Bird Body District and the Right Wing District, where there was a sufficient population and perfect official road guidance, and the nobles could easily move forward as long as they endured the fatigue of traveling.

For Ruth, the nightmare of travel begins in the area north of Kordebarak, and further north, the dilapidated official roads make one wonder how much money the angels have swallowed up, and the roads are in such bad condition that the people who can't bear the exorbitant taxes and flee fill every mountain road, and come and go like the wind.

Later, Ruth found out that he had wrongly blamed the officials here to a certain extent, and the officials really couldn't be blamed for such a broken official road, and those Okemi barbarians who refused to become serfs honestly and were unwilling to be invaded by their homeland were the real culprits of the broken official road.

These barbarians are full of hatred for the Audis, and along the way, Ruth has witnessed several scenes of Okemi barbarians destroying official roads, and from the post house guards, Ruth also learned that this group of lawless Okemi often invades Audi's colonial sites and villages, and even tortures and kills Audi farmers, and the frequency of Okemi barbarian attacks is the farther north of Kodbarak, the more it happens.

"Don't you care about the local angels!, don't you exterminate these traitors!" Normally, Ruth would not be so excited, but when he thought of the region where he had taken office, it was like this—or even worse, because the Hercynian region where Ruth was in office was currently the northernmost part, and the conflict between the Okemi barbarians and the Audis was also the most serious.

"Honorable nobleman, I understand your anger, after all, I am a resident born here, but what can we do? What's more, most of the financial revenues of the right-wing districts are very bad, and if the capital does not allocate funds, it will not be able to go out at all, otherwise if it is forced to go on the expedition, not to mention the compensation costs for the dead and wounded troops, will this year's official roads still need to be repaired?

"Alas, it's all very difficult to do," Ruth was temporarily relieved after hearing about the local difficulties, but a few days later, when he learned again that the official road ahead was destroyed by the Okemi barbarians, and even the post station was burned, Ruth, who had always been a good man, couldn't help it, and roared murderously:

"Aurorard (the capital of Audi) is too merciful to these barbarians!

After some hardships on the way, but in the end Ruth still arrived in Haixi safely, recalling the journey he had come through, Russ could only make up his mind to be separated from his wife and children for a long time, this kind of journey is not something that a child can survive, you must know that his servants have died 2 due to disease and violent conflicts.

The official who received himself in Haixi was a member from the Tetra family named Maxie.

Looking at Maxie's sloppy dress and fluffy hair, Ruth guessed that nine times out of ten, he was exiled to this ghost place after losing the family struggle, and he had already given up on himself, even his 7-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter dared to take it here, it was simply a matter of letting go of his son's future.

However, Maxie didn't look sloppy, the basic knowledge was quite qualified, and in the beginning of Ruth's arrival, he briefly introduced the origin of Heicy.

In addition to the island, the territory of Audi is divided into four areas, the bird's head area, the bird's body area, the left wing area and the right wing area, and the right wing area where Haixi is located is to the east of the bird's body area.

For the Audi people, the most prosperous area is the place at the junction of the Bird's Head District and the Bird's Body District, and the local residents proudly call themselves old Audis. In addition, the south of the left-wing sector is also so-so, and further north is a mixed area of Audi and Okemi.

As for the right-wing district, sorry, it's a wilderness in the wilderness, and in Maxie's self-deprecating words, the reason why the conquerors wanted to set up the right-wing zone back then was only because they didn't want the right-wing zone to drag down the level of the bird-body zone, so they threw the war-torn areas in the eastern part of the bird's body zone to the right-wing zone.

[Ruth: Is it okay to belittle your hometown like this?]

Over the past few hundred years, the Right Sector has also tried to revitalize itself, that is, to conquer the scattered eastern branch of the Okmi people in the east, although the Okmi in the Right Sector and the Okmi in the Left Sector are all different, but they are still largely the same, and Audi has collectively referred to them as the Okmi in order to save trouble.

Relying on the conquest of the land of the Okemi, the right wing also had some developments, such as Shaoluoxi and Malado, which were first-class good bays, where fatty and delicious fish and meat could be obtained, so the Audis began to assemble on the coast.

Unfortunately, further north along the coastline, there was a dense jungle where there was no way to fish, and people could not be suffocated by urine, so the Audis, who wanted to get more fish, had to stay away from the coastline for a while and head inland to see if they could get around the jungle.

Fortunately, the Audis really found a way, and finally established the Yuliwen colony in a mountain pass, and Yu Liwen went further east, you can bypass that jungle, that is, the latest fishing port colony of the Audis, Haixi, which is the origin of the Hercynian colony.

The time when the Hercynian colony was built, Ruth commented earlier, was not as old as his father. In addition to the orderly port of Haixi, when they arrived in the suburbs, they were full of fugitive serfs who did not want to be exploited, Okemi barbarians who were unwilling to be conquered, and vicious bandits who wandered in the mountains.

"In a word, a place for scum," that's what Maxie had to say about Heicy.

[And then you brought your 10-year-old children to this kind of place!! you are joking with your son's future!] This is Ruth's inner roar.
