Early the next morning, they finally arrived in Yamei Province.

At this point, Shannon was no longer on board.

At four o'clock in the morning, Ingres placed Shannon in the neighboring province of Broken Gold in Yamei Province, mainly because Shannon did not seem to be comfortable with high-altitude navigation and had been dizzy.

Considering her physical factors, Angel inquired about the route of Yamei Province, and put her in Menus, the largest city in the Broken Gold Province, and confirmed that she was still capable of moving, so he flew to Yamei Province in a gondola.

As the morning sun rose leisurely, the gondola flew over Watford.

Watford is not actually the largest city in the province of Jamey, but it is the closest city to Gru, and in Ingres's memories as a child, Watford was a sprawling city that seemed to never be explored. But after experiencing all kinds of giant cities, Ingres found that Watford was a little bigger than Bollai.

The town of Bolai in the Enlightenment Continent can see his unique personality before he gets close, full of literature and innovation. But Watford, even Durroux looked at it, felt a little cold and old. Although there are a few high-rise buildings, the other houses are almost all made of black stone, and the whole city is almost the same color. The only thing that can be worth talking about is probably that the urban construction is very standardized, and the houses are arranged rigorously and neatly, but from another point of view, this is too conformist.

"Look over there, Lord Pat. Durroux suddenly pointed to one place and said to Angels.

Ingres had been observing the city from his childhood memories, so he had actually discovered the place that Durou was pointing to early on.

That's the gates of Watford.

Outside the city gates, a group of ragged men waited. When the morning sun shone on the city gates, the gates were slowly opened by the guards, and the crowd of people who looked like outcasts poured into Watford.

"They seem to be refugees?" Durroux curious.

"They are refugees from war. Ingres sensed the conversation between the guards, and with Hailan's victory, refugees from the coastal provinces poured into the nearby provinces. As the closest province to the front line, Yamei Province is not the first choice for refugees, but after all, there are many refugees who have come here with the garrison of the Mun family.

Looking at the villages that were slaughtered in the Black Black Province before, and looking at this group of refugees with yellow faces and thin muscles.

It can be seen that the impact of this war on the Plantagenet Empire is too great.

When Shannon was still on the gondola before, Angel once asked her about the reason for Heilan's victory, and Shannon himself couldn't say why, she was a guest in Sumei territory three months ago, and at that time there was no sign of Heilan's victory. It seemed that there would be a stalemate for a long time, but within a few days, news came that the coastal provinces had fallen, and before she could leave, the Black Black Province was also captured.

Speaking of the war between Heilan and Goldfinch, listening to Shannon's tone before, it seems that it has been stalemate for seven or eight years. But it seems a little strange that the battle in several provinces ended so quickly in such a short period of time. "Justudau.

"It's kind of weird. Angel: "But don't think about it for now, let's go back to Gru Town first." ”

Seeing so many refugees, Angel is even more at home to Gruzhen. Although the refugees are pitiful, sometimes they are also a disaster, especially for the simple town of Grew.

"Let's hope things get better in Gru. Angel muttered softly.

Soon, they saw the town of Gru, located between the mountains and adjacent to the grasslands.

After many years, looking at the familiar town, Angel should have been happy and excited. But before he could get close to Gru, Ingres felt something bad in his heart.

"Stop. Angel exclaimed suddenly.

At this time, there was still some distance from Gru Town, and the gondola was hidden in the clouds, and Durroux looked at Angel suspiciously: "Lord Pat, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with the atmosphere in Grewtown. ”

Duru stuck his head out and looked through the thin clouds at the town, where the houses were dotted among the greenery.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see it too clearly. But he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the town, except that it was a little smaller.

Faced with Droux's doubts, Ingres said softly: "I feel a strange aura. ”

In Ingres' vision, the town was enveloped in a strange atmosphere. However, if he was asked to say what was wrong, he couldn't explain it for a while.

Angels' expression slowly sank, and when he was about to return home, he found that something was wrong with the town, which was probably the last thing he wanted to see.

To be cautious, Ingres didn't drive the boat over directly. Instead, he instructed Duru to descend into the mountains and forests, and walked slowly in the direction of Gru Town.

The closer he got to Gru, the more cautious Angel became. On the contrary, it was Durrou, who could not see the tension of Ingres, and looked curiously at the nearby scenery.

After walking for half an hour, when the sun was shining, they went out of the mountain forest.

Ahead, you can already faintly see the high post of the outpost outside the town of Gru, which is guarded by the town's guards according to the past practice. It's just that it's still a little far away now, and I can't see whether there is anyone on the sentry post.

There is farmland nearby, and there are no people in sight, but the farmland has been cultivated. There are no weeds, and you can see the fields growing green.

Judging by this, there are at least some people in the town who are tending to the fields.

Five minutes later, when Ingres saw a soft-armored guard standing on the sentry, his heart finally relaxed a little.

The town's guards are still there, indicating that Gru is still maintaining a basic order.

He was afraid that something would happen, like the slaughtered villages he had seen in the province of Heiwu. Judging by the current situation, it seems to be okay.

However, it is not completely reassuring. Before he saw his brother, his heart was still hanging.

Their arrival was locked in by the guards at the sentry with their eyes.

The guard's gaze was fixed on Duru, and his turban, which covered most of his face, was particularly noticeable.

"Who are you, what are you doing in Gru Town?" asked the guard immediately before entering the town, but his attitude was quite kind, and the two in front of him were dressed normally, at least from the fabric on their bodies, they should not be refugees.

Durou's foreign accent was too strong, and Ingres didn't let him speak, but took the initiative to say, "I'm from Conya, and I'm here to meet old friends." ”

- Conya is the largest city in the province of Yame.

Angel deliberately showed a thick aristocratic accent, and sure enough, the guard's expression softened even more when he heard such an authentic accent.

Even Ingres's crumpled clothes, he didn't care too much, he just thought he was a down-and-out nobleman.

"Who is Sir's old friend? I'm Jordan, the guard of Gru Town, and I can show you the way. ”

Jordanian guards? Angel thought about it, and it seemed that the son of the sheriff in the town seemed to be called Jordan. But before, it seemed that he was studying in a foreign country, but Ingres had never seen it.

"I've come to see Viscount Pat, and I've been good friends with him for many years. Angel smiled: "This time, I have something to do with him." ”

When Ingres said Viscount Pat's name, the Jordanian guard's eyes changed.

Ingres noticed the change in his eyes, and suddenly wondered in his heart: "What's the matter? Isn't Viscount Pat here?"

The Jordanian guard swallowed his saliva, looked around, made sure no one was paying attention to him, and whispered, "If you want to find Viscount Pat, I advise you to go back." ”

"Why?" Ingres's expression did not change, but a fear rose in his heart: "Isn't Viscount Pat here?"

"I don't know, maybe it's here. The Jordanian guards looked hesitant.

"What the hell is going on?" Ingre, seeing that the Jordanian guard looked reluctant to speak, added, "If you don't want to say it, then take me to Knight George, who received me five years ago when I came to Grutown." ”

Knight George is actually the sheriff of the town. If Ingres's memory is correct, it is Jordan's father.

As soon as he heard George's name, Jordan's expression changed. He thought about it, and he didn't know whether to tell the Viscount's Mansion that it was closed, so he simply said, "In that case, then I'll take you to Knight George." ”

The Jordanian guard led the two of them towards the town, and along the way, someone took the initiative to greet Jordan. Many of them are familiar faces, and Ingres has a feeling of reunion after a long absence, but when he thinks of Jordan's hesitation about Viscount Pat before, Ingres's emotional thoughts dissipate into nothing.

And until now, Angels didn't feel where the strange atmosphere that made him feel before came from. Could it really be from Pat Manor?

Thinking of this, Ingres's eyes darkened slightly.

"Little Jordan, you're not good on duty, why are you running around. Also, who are these two?" When the door of a large wooden house was opened, a burly-looking middle-aged man came out.

"Dad, they are ......" Before the Jordanian guard finished speaking, he was beaten by a middle-aged man.

"I warned you, you'll have to call me Sheriff at work!"

Jordan covered his head and said aggrievedly: "Your Excellency." ”

The middle-aged man was George, and his eyes turned to Angel and Duru and stretched out his hand, "Who are the two of them?"

Jordan: "Your Excellency, he's coming to the Viscount, saying that he is a friend of the Viscount, and that you received him five years ago. I couldn't make up my mind, so I came to you. ”

George's expression changed slightly, and he looked Ingres up and down. After a while, he turned around and pulled out the long sword at Jordan's waist, and pointed the cold tip of the sword at Angel: "You lie, I've never seen you." Say, who are you?!What are you doing here?"

Jordan was also stunned, why did he suddenly become tense.

Ingres looked at George quietly, his eyes were a little dazed, and after a while, he turned around slowly, squeaked, and closed the door.

When the door closed, Angel suddenly whispered:

"Uncle George, long time no see. ”
