Chapter 34: The Old Land Revisited

A man who was undoubtedly a fanatic stood at the table, shouting at everyone as if he were standing in front of the altar preaching.

"Prepare to use human warfare to stop the only god destined to own the world, and let me tell you how stupid that is!"

The King of the World stopped Morningstar, and she asked the king of the small southern country to continue speaking, because the king of the world had guessed that everything he said was what science wanted to say.

"An army is crossing the Central Mountains, the moat that you thought was impossible to cross, it was the mortal believers who science gave him power, and look, this miracle is only the beginning of your failure!"

The fanatic dissipated into light in laughter, like a man who melted into the white light, leaving nothing behind.

"Marseille ......"

The King of the World did not build a fortress under the Central Mountains, because that would be a waste, and no one could have predicted where an army would descend from the Central Mountains.

So for the new crusaders who might cross the central mountains, the kings of the world gathered an army near Marseille, and they would defend the southeast of Francie and stop the possible enemy army.

Now, it seems, it wasn't unnecessary.

"But is there really a mortal army capable of crossing the Central Mountains?"

There are still some people who are skeptical about this, and they don't know what it takes to be against a god.

"If science can really make mortals climb over the Central Mountains, then nothing in our world can stand against him unless everyone unites. ”

......

Magellan eventually succeeded in convincing the baron to give up buying enough food for a month at the bazaar.

As a result, the Baron's mount was free from carrying the same amount of black bread as an adult, and more importantly, Arthur and Magellan did not have to worry about nibbling on black bread along the way.

"But if we don't bring enough dry food, what will we eat on the road?"

To the baron's question, Arthur replied with a money bag.

"The biggest problem with travel is that you don't necessarily get something if you have money. ”

The baron was unimpressed by Arthur's optimism, which, in his opinion, was blind self-confidence.

But at least for the rest of the journey, what the baron feared did not happen.

Because the baron's mount helped pull the cart, the coachman was less charged to the three men, and they spent a day in another city.

At this time, the baron finally began to understand Arthur's self-confidence: "Could it be that the road from now on is like this? from bazaar to bazaar?"

"From city to city, yes. ”

Arthur loved the new city, which was finally no longer a country place, but a truly interesting civilized world, and the traditions of the Holy Loren Empire gave it a unique charm.

"I never thought it would be like this here. ”

Forty years ago, the baron's childhood was spent here, when his grandfather was a chief knight under the lord of the domain, an earl, and the castle was barren but still the richest of the vast expanse.

"Times are always changing, and the king of the world is very good at changing something," Magellan led the way towards the castle in the center of the city, "but that's not the point, what matters is whether your grandfather left anything here." ”

"That old stubborn?"

The baron gave a look of remembrance, and then quickly gave up.

"He's left almost everything of value here. ”

"But would he really leave his precious ancestral heritage somewhere else?" Arthur disagreed with Magellan's line of thought, "what are you looking for?"

"Something that doesn't seem important. ”

The baron's family history, which began in the distant days of the Esyadians, to the time when the baron's grandfather moved to the mountains, has few gaps in the long history, but it still does not help Magellan determine the residence of the god Esyad.

It was a typical confinement of the times, and for the Esyad warriors, anyone would know where it was when they spoke of "green space", but for those who came after it, it was a mysterious place that had disappeared.

And when the name of the place was changed, the people at that time did not deliberately record it, because they knew that the new name still referred to the green space, but it was impossible for later generations to know what the relationship between the two was.

This was Magellan's immediate problem, and although he had almost completely discovered the Baron's family secrets, he was still unable to determine the location of the entrance to the Esyad Domain, the mysterious "Green Space".

Magellan could only hope to go back, and he followed the route of the baron's ancestors, hoping to find the crucial missing piece.

The only good news is that the lords along the way will definitely welcome him.

"Hey, where are you going?"

The baron finally discovered that Magellan was leading them towards the castle in the middle of the city, where the lord of the city, the count, was located.

"Rest assured, the Earl will welcome us. ”

Magellan stood in front of the door and said a few words to the guard, and then the butler came out and greeted the three of them warmly into the castle.

"Welcome, distinguished guest from the King of the World. ”

The Count welcomed all three, including the Baron, with absolute warmth.

The Baron knew it was the son of his former childhood friend, and the feeling made him die of awkwardness.

"I have come for the sake of a distant history, a knight here who is a descendant of a family who knows the ancient things. ”

Hearing Magellan say this, the Count was visibly relieved, he was the kind of nobleman of the Holy Loren Empire who didn't like the king of the world, and although Magellan had to welcome Magellan with a letter of introduction from the Morning Star, he might not really like what they were going to do.

"I can allow you to do anything, it's research, archaeology, anyway, right?"

Magellan did not bother to explain to the Count the difference between archaeology and tomb robbing, and he had already sensed that the Count did not really welcome them.

So after a welcome banquet, the three left the castle.

"My grandfather never told me anything like a family cemetery, and so did my grandmother, are you sure there really is?"

"The Schmidt family, as the earls of power, have lived here for at least three hundred years, starting from the time of the Knights. ”

The baron began to notice that Magellan was different from ordinary people: "You know my family's past better than I do?"

"The glorious knight families have so much in common. ”

Although it was not necessary, Magellan did not mind flattering the baron, after all, all the clues in his hands so far were the baron's family property.

"And that includes the family cemetery?" the baron thought for a moment and nodded, "It seems so." ”

He had seen quite a few aristocrats, most of whom had historic family cemeteries.
