The morning sun pours warmth and softness on the Haider Plains, especially in spring and summer, when the official road is lined with endless fields and blooming flowers.

It's just that on the surface it seems to be a fertile land, where the growth of any crop is unexpectedly slow. In particular, the southwestern part of the Hydel Plains, which was once thought to be a blessed land of God, now appears to have been abandoned by God.

Bones City is located in the south-central part of the Haidel Plain, starting from Laixing Fort, along the northeast official road, all the way to the end, and the carriage takes two days to travel.

Although the little lord of Lysingburg, Baron Schuck, did not have much money, this time he called two carriages, he and Bill sat in one car, and in the other car were Huin and Jack, plus two coachmen, and the group of six headed towards Bone City, the capital of the Dominion of Haider.

Along the way, Xiu Yin had been observing the scenery outside the car window, he didn't know much about this new world, and even the original "he" had only been to Bones City a few times, so that he didn't know much about the rest of the vast Hydel Plains.

However, combined with memories and rumors of people's exchanges, plus a day's drive, Xiu Yin confirmed one thing.

The closer you get to the north, the more pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the official road gradually increase, and even the vendors who set up stalls in the grass beside the road appear on some sections.

- There is a feeling of entering the town from the countryside.

Along the way, he passes a small town, and Jack tells him it's Araki Town.

I thought it was a down-and-out town when I heard the name, but in fact, this town, which is close to Bone City, has a population of nearly 10,000.

Although it only passes through the entrance of Araki Town, Xiu Yin can see that the prosperity of this town is incomparable to that of Fort Lyxing, and the large characters of Araki Town carved on the huge road sign at the entrance of the town also show its grandeur, and Fort Lai Xing seems to have nothing there, only after entering the town, there is a "Castle of Lyxing" that proves that this is Fort Laixing.

"Uncle Jack, why does Lysing Castle seem a little desolate, even if the minerals are drastically reduced, then the lords of the former glory days should still be there?"

Comparing Fort Lyxing and Araki Town, Xiu Yin asked Jack beside him suspiciously, according to his father, when the Neumann family was prosperous in the past, there were nearly 100,000 people, and they were given the title of earl, even if it declined, this contrast was a little too big.

"Alas......"

Jack couldn't help but sigh when he heard Xiuyin's questioning, almost not many of the current juniors know about the deeds of the Neumann family back then, because even people of Jack's age only know about this matter.

Jack was about to speak, when he suddenly changed to ask, "Didn't Lord Baron tell the young master?"

"My father simply said about the glory of the family, but he didn't mention why it was declining. Xiu Yin replied.

Jack's right hand slightly supported his chin, after all, he had the maturity of an elder, and he soon knew why the baron did not give a specific explanation to Xiuyin, Xiuyin did not obtain the inheritance of the title, so some internal family matters should not be explained to Xiuyin.

However, for some things that outsiders like himself can know, the Baron did not explain too much to Young Master Xiuyin, so according to Jack's understanding of Xiuke, it is that Xiuke does not want the child who inherits the title to carry too many things.

After all, history is heavy, especially when the rich yesterday is compared to the barren today, the reality is so cruel.

Therefore, Xiuyin, who is still a minor, should not be too bound by the past history, Jack looked at the young master who had grown rapidly recently, and said slowly, "Young Master Xiuyin, you just need to know that the former Neumann family was also one of the 'Golden Family', remember this, it's okay." ”

"Hmm. Xiu Yin replied simply, and did not speak again.

"The Golden Family", Xiu Yin stroked his bright red hair, a term he was not unfamiliar with, and the current supreme ruler of the Heider Dominion, Count Fer Fraser, was also one of the "Golden Family".

Xiu Yin found that "his" historical knowledge was extremely lacking, except for some biographies about the mage recorded in the book, it was difficult to find more historical legends about the Starlight Kingdom in his memory, so the specific information about the "Golden Family" Xiu Yin did not know.

The only information he could understand was that the current "Golden Family" was the descendants of several highly decorated ministers of the king after the establishment of the Starlight Kingdom.

There are five "Golden Families" in total, except for one of which has been related to the royal family, the remaining four families correspond to the four major dominions of the current Starlight Kingdom, and the "Golden Family" has extremely high rights in their respective dominions, except for giving a certain amount of money and food to the king every year, everything in the territory is controlled by the lord of the Dominion.

"If it is according to Uncle Jack, then there should be six ...... of the 'Golden Family'," Xiu Yin mused, "the environment in which he grew up, including everything that could be seen about the Golden Family, and even the idioms in people's mouths, were the "Five Great Families" expression.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yin didn't continue to think about it, he knew that it must be very complicated, otherwise his father would never have mentioned it.

Originally, Xiu Yin planned not to continue to talk about family matters, and it was a little inappropriate to ask someone outside the family about family affairs, but he suddenly remembered that when he was attacked by the sharp-horned demon wolf on the way that night, when Captain Cassel greeted Jack, he shouted "Old soldier of Lai Star City......

Fort Lexing, with a population of only a few thousand, didn't look like a town in any way, and Captain Cassel's expression wasn't that sarcastic, so a bold idea came to Shoin's mind.

Now he wanted to confirm his suspicions, so he asked Jack next to him one last question, "Uncle Jack, did the Neumanns once own a very large city?"

"Huh?"

Jack first looked at Xiu Yin with a surprised expression, but soon his face changed to a smile, "Hey, who did you kid listen to? If there was really a very big city, it wouldn't be called Lysing Castle!"

A forced smile appeared on Jack's face, he knew that it was just Xiuin's guess, and even if he knew something, he couldn't tell Xiuin now, at least he respected Baron Xiuke's choice.

However, Xiu Yin got a satisfactory answer, Jack's extremely unnatural expression, anyway, confirmed Xiu Yin's guess, for observing the expressions of others and guessing their mental activities, Xiu Yin still has some ways to understand the cultivation of an actor.

It also occurred to him that his father had not told him this, perhaps because it was not yet time, and perhaps when he got the complete answer to the matter, the condition he needed was the status of the heir to the title.

Aside from all these thoughts about family matters, shortly after passing through Araki Town, the carriage arrived at Arakushi City, the capital of the Heider Dominion, before the sun set.
