The journey to Astir was uneventful, and sometimes the group could not find an inn to spend the night in the late dark, and when they asked for help from a nearby farm, they would open their doors to the gold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a week's worth of travel, with shriveled bellies and shriveled wallets, everyone was about to arrive in Estile.

The closer he got to home, the more Noah couldn't hide his joy, and from the very beginning he kept talking to everyone about Estile. There were a few times when he was dancing and almost fell off his horse.

"Krinus!" Noah called out to Krinus, "Did you know that during the Liberation War, 200 elven soldiers guarded the Gray Pass for a whole month? ”

"Really! I don't know!" Krinus pretended to be surprised at Noah's topic, because he was so uncomfortable with the robe that he thought that Ebner would also dislike it, but it seemed that he didn't care what he was wearing. Fortunately, the clothes are dark brown, which gives a sense of a calm mage, and it would be perfect if the lace and pleated collar were cut off. When he got to Estile, he must get rid of these things as soon as possible.

Noah could see that Kerinos was dealing with him, and walked away consciously.

Noah Zema approached Abel's pony and said, "My little friend." ”

"Uh-huh?" Abel greeted.

"Do you know what we were going to catch when we arrived in Astir?" Noah said.

"I don't know?" said Abel, "I can't find anything more surprising than the journey anyway." ”

"Roar, roar!" said Noah, "don't be so quick to draw conclusions, my dear friend. Have you ever heard of a troupe called Starry Dreams? They call themselves art troupes, but everybody calls them troupes......"

"I haven't heard much. Abel said, "What is that troupe called Dream of the Stars performing?"

"Oh, it's demeaning to call them a troupe. Noah said: "They are the most outstanding artists in the entire empire, and the program they perform is not limited to the lines in the script. I say that they are the most outstanding of the entire empire, not by Rant, nor by Tours, but by the most famous of the entire human society. ”

"If they're so famous, why haven't I heard much about them?" Abel said.

"Well, they don't do much folk gigs, and ever since they became famous, they've been hired by the nobles to do private shows at their castles. Noah said, "It's normal if you haven't heard of it." The Starry Dream Theatre Company arrived from Tours to perform at King Azil Mackay's birthday party a month later. Naturally, we will also be invited by other wealthy people to perform along the way, and when we arrive in Estile, we can just meet them, and everyone is looking forward to their magic show. ”

Abel smiled and asked, "There are two mages next to us, why should I go to see magic without magic?"

"You don't know, Lord Abel. Noah gestured and began to say, "The Dream of the Stars is famous for their magic shows, Dream! It's not the magic that's really shocking, it's the fact that you know that there are many things that you can't do without magic, and even the most knowledgeable mages will be stunned by their performances. ”

"It's hard to imagine......," Abel said expectantly, "I'd like to see it." ”

"Then it's decided!" Noah said, "I'll arrange other things, ha, how exciting." ”

After that, Noah went to enlist Ebner to go to the Starry Dream Theater Troupe's performance again.

Krinus saw that Abel was in a good mood, and maybe it was time to mention something to him. Krinus approached and said to Abel, "Sounds like you're looking forward to Estile." ”

"yes. Abel said, "Noah said there are a lot of novelties from Tours, and it's an elven city, isn't it? ”

Krinus smiled and said, "I heard that the elven building of Estile was demolished in the early days of the empire, and it may not even be left in ruins now." Once upon a time, humans thought that the Elven building was an evil curse they had left behind. Just looking at these things, their minds will be manipulated by the elves. ”

"Is that true?" Abel wondered.

"It's not. "It's just an unfounded claim," Krinus said. ”

"In the past, humans enslaved orcs, do they think that orcs are also something evil?" Abel asked.

"No......" Krinus looked at Abel, trying his best to come up with some reasonable explanation, but the result could only be said: "Humans enslave orcs only because orcs are too weak." They say that the weak deserve to be enslaved, just as humans are oppressed by the elves when they are weak. For a long time, people believed so. ”

"Oh......," Abel sighed.

"But you know what?" said Krinus, "there have been many times in history when orcs can use war to liberate themselves, just like humans do. The mighty momentum is enough to affect the safety of the empire. But the orcs did not choose that way of shedding blood, and their faith rejected such ideas. Some say it's cowardly, servile faith. Those who say this do not realize that the prosperity of the empire was made by the faith of this slave. The orcs chose to be silent and prayed, and eventually the Emperor ended his slavery as an orc, and I began to think that their prayers worked. ”

"Orcs have always had a history of shame no matter what. Abel said.

"I think orcs are great men to be respected. "You can see that there are many things in the empire that make people feel unfair, the peasants have no land, the nobles have no fiefs, the mages have no freedom, and many things are not even enough to compare with the humiliation of being enslaved, and people can still quarrel over it," Krinus said. In retrospect, at the time of slavery, the empire did not know what a dangerous bomb it was carrying. However, the orcs chose to use time to calm the minds of humans, and did not use radical means to 'force' humans to abandon the system on which they depended, and this tolerance saved many people. ”

Abel disagreed, "Do you really think so? Maybe it's just that they don't have the ability to resist." ”

"yes, maybe so. I don't know what happened, but I'm still grateful for what the Orcs have done for the Empire. Krinus said, "Do you agree with me?"

Abel smiled and said, "If Mr. Prophet says yes, then it must be so." ”

Krinus suddenly said to Abel heavily, his smile gradually melting into seriousness like a cube of melted ice, and said, "Look, Abel. I have something to tell you. ”
