Chapter 69: Return to the Eastern Continent

In 1354 of the Lepeilian calendar, the Fiji people used three huge ships to send the Streamer Sirwen people from the port of Honia in the northeast corner of the Western Continent to the coast of Mount Oman in the northwest corner of the Eastern Continent.

The Oman Mountains are about one-tenth the length of the Essetti Mountains on the western continent, and although they are mainly located in the small coastal country of Amaran in the northwest corner of the eastern continent and its landlocked neighbor Asmara in the east, they actually straddle the intersection of the borders of the three countries. This is because the Oman Mountains start in the east from the territory of Asmara and continue to the west, passing through the junction of the borders of Asmara, Hokland, and Amaland, and then entering the territory of Amaland, terminating on the southwestern coastline of Amaland.

Mount Amarand is the closest country to the West Continent in the Eastern Continent, and Mount Oman is the only mountain range that ends at the coast on the long western coastline of the Eastern Continent, and it is also the most precipitous part of the coast in the Eastern Continent. Far from the people, just below the vertical cliffs, there is only the rough sea, which cannot be used as a general port. Therefore, the Fiji people and streamers deliberately chose this place as the landing site.

However, it is impossible to get off the ship and land here, so you can only climb the cliff directly from the boat, and only after climbing to the top of the mountain and standing firmly, can you be regarded as landing on the eastern continent.

The streamer stood on the deck and tossed the seeds of the light vine flower to the top of the cliff. Soon, the seeds sprouted and took root, growing into long, tough vines that hung down the cliffs from the top of the hill to the boat, where they could climb.

The coastal cliffs here are so high that they are almost perpendicular to the sea, and there is nothing to rely on as you climb them but the canes of the light vines. The streamer made it to the top of the mountain with ease, but it was clearly a bit of a struggle for the future Sukarana of Lepelian, who was the last man to reach the top.

Standing on the top of a high mountain, looking back at the sea, the returning ship has gradually moved away from the Eastern Continent, and the future can't help but have mixed feelings, memories are like a fierce tide, drowning his heart in an instant.

More than 1,000 years ago, after the collapse of the Hill Empire founded by Yiwan Sukaranna, the descendants of the Sukarlana family began to hide in Tibet and have been living in exile ever since. After dividing the land of the Hill Empire, although there were some hypocritical nobles who secretly took in the descendants of Yi Wan, their purpose was all for the nautical chart that led to the "immortal land at the end of the world".

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, since more than 1,000 years ago, there has been a legend among the nobles of the Eastern Continent that the ancient king of Gushir Yiwan Sukaranna had a nautical chart leading to the "end of the world", and he hid the nautical chart in a secret place and passed the secret to his children and grandchildren when he died. After all, at that time, except for Yi Wan himself, almost all the people from the Eastern Continent who knew that the Streamer Star had disappeared did not exist. It is not difficult to understand why the descendants of the heroic emperor who once unified the Eastern Continent can continue to this day more than a thousand years after the division of the Hill Empire.

The nobles who divided the Hill Empire always loved and hated the Sukaranna family, both wanting to cut the grass and eradicating the roots, but also unable to kill because they longed for the nautical chart that led to the "end of the world". The greed and lust of the nobles have invisibly become the guarantee of the survival of the Sukarlana family. They took advantage of this only "advantage" that could save their lives, and constantly maneuvered between the nobles of various countries in search of life, and tossed and turned in the cycle of being killed and rescued for more than a thousand years.

Today, Future Sukarana is the only surviving descendant of King Gushir. But this personality that is too upright and does not know how to be flexible really made him suffer a lot, and even almost killed himself.

As a child, Sukaranna also had an orthodox aristocratic education, so he always thought he was an ordinary nobleman, until he accidentally witnessed his parents being tortured, and suddenly understood everything.

After all, the parents were tortured and passed away one after another. After that, the powerful nobleman who imprisoned their family turned his mind to the young future. In order to obtain the nautical chart, which is said to have been handed down from generation to generation by the Sukarlanna family, the nobleman deliberately let the future enjoy the same treatment and education as other noble children, in an attempt to deceive the future into relying on and favoring him, so that he could smoothly ask the whereabouts of the nautical chart. But the future has never forgotten what happened to his parents, and no one expected that he would have understood everything. Future is a precocious and intelligent child, who, unlike his parents, is reluctant to compromise on his behalf. He hated the man who had imprisoned him, and would rather die than let him get his wish, dreaming of escaping from that gorgeous cage. Later, he finally found a chance to escape, but unfortunately he was injured in the process of escaping, and seeing that there was no way out, he jumped into the sea without hesitation. I wanted to come out after the pursuers left, but I was too seriously injured, and I fell unconscious after a big wave came.

At that time, the ship of the Fiji people happened to pass there, and found a dying future, so they rescued him from the sea, and raised the sick child into a tall and strong young man, and taught him what tolerance is, what courage is, and what is questioning......

Despite all the nostalgia, I still decided to embark on an adventurous journey in the future. Because he wants to see the world for himself, to discern the truth of history, to find his true self - a self with an independent soul that is not swayed by any worldly ideas. I hope that one day, I can become a strong person like Asi.

Looking at the Fiji ship that was gradually moving away, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to say "thank you" to them after all.

But he knew that he would never forget that gentle and sly smile, the man who seemed to be weaker than anyone else, but was actually stronger and braver than anyone else. She has spent her life guarding her people, doing her best to create a peaceful home for them, but she bears all the stigma alone, never justifying herself, and even silently hiding the true identity of Future Sukaranna. Even so, he never found the slightest trace of forbearance and resentment in her eyes, and never did.

I didn't believe or understand before, but now I can't help but be in awe. The future really wants to know, how did she do it, how can she repay her grievances with virtue instead of remembering the old evils when facing the direct descendants of a direct descendant of the culprit who has caused the Fiti people to lose their homes for thousands of years?

"I've never realized it so clearly...... "The future stands on the top of the mountain, looking at the invisible western continent, and my heart is full of emotion. "To me, Shi Jia and Assi are like a mirror that reflects my ugliness very clearly, makes me realize my own shallowness and insignificance, and makes me ashamed. I remember that Assi once said that people always have a tendency to beautify themselves, and while beautifying themselves, they often unconsciously scandalize others in order to elevate themselves. In the past, I always thought he was cold and mean, but now that I think about it, I may have scandalized him. Maybe in their eyes, I was just a naïve and headstrong child. After all, there is a hundred years between me and them, a distance that I cannot catch up with anyway. Especially when I realized how ugly I was, I was even more embarrassed in front of them. But one day, when I can become more mature and strong enough to walk side by side with them, I may be able to go back to them with my head held high......"

In this way, Future Sukarlana left the Fijian homeland that once gave him warmth and now makes him nostalgic, carrying a secret of his life that can never be revealed, and returning to his long-lost but crisis-ridden hometown - the Eastern Continent with the Streamers.

Three hundred years ago, the Streamers gradually withdrew from the sight of the Lepeilian people and hid their traces in sparsely populated places. However, the war between the countries of the Eastern Continent has intensified.

Forty-seven years ago, on the western coast of the Eastern Continent, there was a country called Mobini.

At that time, since the countries of the Eastern Continent had already developed a covetous heart for the Western Continent, the only way to satisfy their growing ambitions was to create an army capable of conquering the seas. However, to build a navy, it is necessary to have a good port and a large amount of timber, so the coastal area has naturally become a must for all countries, especially the coastline facing the western continent - the west coast of the eastern continent. The small nation of Mobini was thus unfortunate enough to fall for plunder, and was soon divided between its neighbor Hockland to the north and Herrandi to the southeast.

Earlier, in the territory of Mobini, there was a small but very lush ancient forest. The Streamer Silven once inhabited the depths of that ancient forest, and spent a brief but peaceful time there.

However, it took a lot of timber to build a large fleet, so the lush ancient forest soon became a battleground for all nations. At that time, Mobini was in name only, and almost all of the land was occupied by Hockland and Herriland. Aside from crossing the Western Sea in search of a new habitat, the Streamer Sylven were no longer able to find a suitable hiding place nearby. Unless they annihilate all these Lepelian armies, there will be no peace. But war is not the way to survive for the streamers. So, before the army of Hockland and the army of Herrilandi arrived in the forest, they took the lead in quietly crossing the sea to the western continent on the ships left on the coast by the Mobini people.

When he returned after a 47-year absence, few people in the Eastern Continent remembered the country of Mobini. The ancient forest, which was once very thriving, is now gone.

The western part of Oman is currently located in the western part of the Oman Mountains, but after two days of further eastering along the slopes of the mountain, you will be able to enter Asmara after passing the northern border of Hokland.

In order not to attract the attention of the Lepeilian people, this migratory group of the Streamer Clan had to avoid the plains and try to choose sparsely populated and thrilling mountain roads to move forward.

The population of the Eastern Continent is 100 times that of the Western Continent, but the land is only two-thirds of that of the Western Continent. Therefore, the population is quite densely distributed, and if you are not careful, it will attract the attention of the Lepelian people and bring a lot of unnecessary trouble. After all, war is not the way for the Streamers to survive, whether it was thousands of years ago or today, their only wish is to reunite with their people, and then return to their homeland together, leaving this last resort.
