Three months later, on the eastern border of the province of Enspen, the city of Gayde, Koleborit.

"Lonagan, look, there is the city gate in front of us, out of the city gate, walk more than ten miles, we can enter Elena!"

A young man in his twenties, speaking in authentic Ryan language, said to a middle-aged man next to him who had some vicissitudes. When the middle-aged man heard this, he raised his head and looked at the road not far away, nodded slightly, and replied in half-baked Rein.

"Finally...... It's ......."

Cassie Lonergan really had mixed feelings when she said this. From the decision to come to Elena to learn from it, it took him a week to finally make the trip. After avoiding wanted and blockades, he traveled extensively and changed modes of transportation before he arrived at Fort South Flint, a border city between southern Ankenrein and the Third Republic of Fern. Because the city is located on the border of many countries, the law and order are chaotic and the environment is complex, and homicides occur from time to time. Cassie Lonergan stayed in the city for half a month, learning the Ryan language, and at the same time learned the fact that Morale's leader, Gastens, was an archmagister. When he first got the news, he was even a little disheartened. I thought he was the mentor of the revolution, but I found that the man relied on extraordinary strength, and that kind of blow and disappointment even made Cassie Lonergan want to die for a moment. If communism can only be achieved by magic, is it still communism that belongs to the working class and the proletariat?

And so, after another two weeks of loss, surprise, decadence, and bewilderment, it took Cassie Lonergan more details about the forbidden spell. In this world, although the rapid telecommunication system based on the Tritheistic Religion has collapsed, the transmission of information is still going on. As time passed, the situation Elena faced, the enemies she had to deal with, and the battles she had experienced, gradually came to light. While Cassie Lonergan was surprised by the harsh living environment of Elena such a small revolutionary base area, he suddenly had a clearer understanding of his small revolutionary team and the resistance to the revolution mentioned in "Fluorite". And along with the news, there was also Gastens' statement that he was not the Grand Magus and that magic could only be unleashed once. Most of the people in South Flimp didn't believe this statement, but for some reason, Cassie Lonergan believed it the moment he heard the news. Perhaps, only faith can give him the courage to continue his own revolution.

After spending almost two months in South Forlinburg and mastering the most basic Ryan language, Cassie Lonergan began to make his way towards Elena again. And at this time, the influence of Gastens magic in the world was still fermenting. Paul Gibson had completely lost the confidence to fight against Elena, and he threw all the troops he had gathered from the previous war into the battle against Roninger, who, after a period of stubborn resistance, began to retreat and was about to be finished. At the same time, Loren Robus's coastal raids on the Aronte Empire also stopped, because the Alonte Empire had stopped all its movements in the eastern part of Ankenrein. They feared that if the Archmagister, who claimed to be not the Grand Magus, saw Anken Rein's territory as his own confiner, and then upset those who had the audacity to invade them, he would cast another spell. If that happens, if the man closest to the archmage really wants to do it, the Aronte Empire could disappear from this world at any time.

Even more surprising was that the Alonte Empire had stopped encircling the rebels of the Archmage Parker Ravibond in its territory, with some saying that they feared that the other archmages might also regain their magical powers, while others said that they feared that the man closest to the archmage would sympathize with Ravibond's plight when he saw it. Regardless, however, both fronts inside and outside Alonte had temporarily subsided with Gastens of his forbidden spells. The Third Republic, on the other hand, even directly lifted most of the prohibitions and laws against communism. Like the Alonte Empire, they also knew that the man closest to the archmage was a believer in communism, and if he saw that the Third Republic of Fern did not like it and decided to take out the most radical country against communism, then Aziva Rand and his party would really have to eat and walk away.

As for the Negru Republic, after that crushing defeat, they completely curtailed their offensive intentions, and they relinquished the lands they had previously held in the province of Enspan and began to build defensive lines in the Duchy of Rairin, apparently not wanting to hand over their spoils. However, even if they were still reluctant to give up the land of the Principality of Rylin, the official channels of this world could no longer see their so-called glorious war before, as if the war that had just begun suddenly disappeared because of a forbidden spell by Gastens.

So, a month after Gastens released the forbidden spell, the war in the whole world was temporarily stopped, and almost all countries began to send envoys to Elena, they wanted to know, they wanted to know, they wanted to see the man closest to the archmage, they wanted to know his hobbies, his likes and dislikes in advance, so as to avoid accidentally breaking into the minefield. And it was not long after this wave of diplomacy broke out that Cassie Lonergan made the final decision.

Keep going.

Like many people, he wanted to visit Elena and see if the legendary place was what he was after.

"Hey! Something seems wrong! ”

The young man, who had a cheerful tone and a light step, was almost about to run. But he soon let out a small cry and grabbed Cassie Lonergan. And not far ahead of them, on the road to Elena, there were already quite a few people trying to get out of the city. Policemen in black uniforms were in groups and were stopping them one by one for inspection. And not far from those policemen, there was a row of a dozen large prisoner vans. The prisoner cart was already loaded with a number of people, most of whom looked like the young man, dressed simply, with tired faces, and looked like people who had traveled a long way.

"They seem to be arresting someone?"

Cassie Lonergan frowned, and a strong sense of alertness suddenly appeared in his heart. The experience of fighting the anti-communist police in the Third Republic of Fern made him keenly aware that the scene on the road ahead must have something to do with Elena.

"It seems to be ......"

The young man looked left and right, and pulled Cassie Lonergan into an alley next to the main road, "On the way, I heard that although His Majesty the Emperor promised Lord Gastens that the inhabitants of Ankenrein would not be forbidden to enter Elena, it was indeed very strict with those serfs who escaped. If a serf escapees are detected trying to enter Elena, the border guards and police will immediately arrest them, punch and kick them if they resist, and even beat them to death. Now it seems that it is true......"

Cassie Lonergan looked at the young man who called himself Soderland, felt the calluses in his palms, looked at his sun-tanned face, and easily guessed his identity. It's just that since he doesn't say it himself, Cassie Lonergan doesn't want to break it. Along the way, they have met many people like Soderland, who were once serfs, but after hearing that Elena could give serfs freedom, they fled from their masters without hesitation, risking being hunted, hunted, and even killed, to enter Elena and pursue freedom.

"Brother Lonagan, we can't think of it in the past, we have to think of some other way......"

Still young after all, Soderland's face was both hopeful and anxious, and he seemed to have reached a dead end when his target was close at hand. The policemen with steam rifles and long knives, as well as the prisoner carts and the prisoners in them, had made him aware of his danger. What do you have to do to get through those levels and get into Elena?

"Don't worry, think of a way, no matter how powerful they are, can they still block all the roads?"

Cassie Lonergan's tone was steady, and he didn't seem to care. But in his own heart, there was also a little panic. As a member of the Third Republic of Fern who entered Anken Rein under a disguised identity, the identity documents he carried were naturally forged, and if those people were careful enough, they were likely to find out about his identity. By that time, his results would probably be inferior to those of serfs like Soderland.

"Yes and yes ......"

Soderland mechanically echoed Cassie Lonergan's words, but his eyes were looking around. Apparently, he had run out of ideas. Cassie Lonergan turned his mind, took his hand, and walked deeper into the alley.

"Go, follow me."

Passing through the alleys, away from the well-sealed gates, Cassie Lonergan led Soderland out of the city on the east side of Colebret, and they walked for a long time along the road outside the city, and when they came to the fields on both sides of the road, they stopped, and asked a few peasants who were resting in the fields.

As Soderland had guessed, His Majesty had blocked all the borders of Enspan and Siloam, and those with official identification documents, merchants, townspeople, or journalists, could enter Elena. But without official identification documents, the police will arrest suspected serfs, poor people and workers who just want to escape to Elena, screen them one by one, and then deal with them. Cassie Lonergan and Soderland consulted several peasants if there was a way to make it through the blockade to Elena, only to receive wary stares and ominous silence. The two of them asked seven or eight people, but they didn't get anything more than to figure out the origin of the blockade, and by this time, the sky was already dark.

"Brother Lonergan, what are we going to do?"

Along the way, Cassie Lonergan's experience with revolution, rebellion and previous party movements has convinced Soderland. Now that access to Elena was blocked, he naturally turned to Cassie Lonergan for help.

"Wait a little longer, I think there are so many people like us who want to go to Elena, even if the official blockade is over, there must be a way to do it underneath. Wait, maybe there will be a turnaround......"

"Oh...... Well......"

Although he didn't quite understand what Cassie Lonergan was talking about, Soderland was convinced of Lonergan's judgment. He and Lonergan, as usual, found a nest of straw in the gap in the field outside the city, fiddled with it twice, got in, and lay down. Along the way, the two of them are poorer than the other, and they have long run out of money for the hotel, and even eating is about to become a problem. Camping out of the city like this is not a very new thing for them.

It's just that Anken Rein, which is already in November, has already entered winter. Even if there is a pile of straw to keep out the cold, the bodies of the two of them can't stop shivering. And at this time, someone lifted the pile of straw from which they were sheltering from the cold.

"Are you going to Elena?"

In the dim moonlight, neither Casey Lonergan nor Soderland could see the appearance of the comer. However, judging from his question, it was obvious that the two of them were attracted to it because they were asking around in the afternoon.

"It's us, is there a way?"

Cassie Lonergan was not surprised by the appearance of these people. As the so-called policy and countermeasures, Elena allocates land and housing to all those who defect to him, gives them free status, and even collects only 30% of the income tax. Under such conditions, no matter how much the emperor forbids it, people will come up with a way to enter Elena.

"Is there any money?" The man's tone wasn't too enthusiastic, and it sounded like he was doing business.

"How do you say if you have money, but how can you say if you don't have money?"

Cassie Lonergan still has some money, but it's his life-saving money, and he won't take it out unless he has to. So, he asked rhetorically, without the slightest panic or obvious expectation.

The man seemed a little surprised by Lonagan's composure, and he spat on the ground, his tone a little impatient.

"If you want to go to Elena, you have money to spend money, but you don't have money to gamble, it's as simple as that."

"How do you say spending money, how do you say gambling on your life?"

Lonergan still looked indifferent, and even shrank into the straw pile, looking uninterested. The man looked at his attitude and was a little unconvinced. His tricks only work for those who don't even want their lives to enter Elena. But the two people in front of him seem to be different from others.

"Spend money, it's 20 Ram for one person, I'll send you over, ensure safety", although he didn't quite understand Lonagan's composure, but the man obviously regarded this matter as a business, "Gamble, that is, we gather a bunch of people, find a relatively safe place and sneak over, if you are lucky, if you are not discovered, you will be free, and you will be the glorious and happy Elena people." If you are unlucky and are discovered, then you will have to race against the bullets, and you will have your destiny in life and death. If you have a big life, rush over, divide the land and get the house, and live a good life. If you can't die, you will be shot to death, and you don't have to worry about this dog life anymore. How's that, I got it out, right? ”

In the dim moonlight, the man who lifted the straw pile was wearing a thick cotton suit and looked condescendingly at the two men hiding in the straw pile. The cold penetrated through the void beside him into the pile of straw, causing Lonergan to shiver.

He looked at Soderland beside him, felt the money hidden in his chest again, and hesitated.

In the end, how to choose?
