Chapter 127: The Final Conversation

Sabel's eyes occasionally glowed faintly. ()

The glow looked soft, but it definitely didn't mean that Sabel was calm. On the contrary, even the mouthy groom felt the gloomy aura emanating from Sabel, which made people a little breathless. So even though the goblins look more nervous, the groom is always trying to open a breakthrough in him.

The carriage creaked along the avenue, and occasionally encountered the carriage in the wrong direction and the grain cart of the troops, and the horseman would ask loudly about the road ahead and all kinds of news. The situation sounds good, and it seems that there is no order to increase the defense around here. In fact, if you think about it, this situation is actually normal, who cares about the life and death of a small lord? And who cares about the exiled son of this lord?

The Svadians were accustomed to war, and they had developed a stoic character during the war years, and they would not panic easily unless they were warned that the town would be besieged the next morning.

But this is not the case for Sabel and Goblins.

They are all people who are eager for the change of the times, and they will do their best to protect those who are willing to fight for this ideal. And, if you go back in time, Huo. The path that Arcadio II initially embarked on was paved by these two men. It's not so much that they're saving a student's life, it's that they're trying their best to save a dream.

When the era of great change comes, how many people are willing to die for it? People talk about big dreams, but few dare to put them into action.

People boasted that war could force officials to make concessions, but they did not dare to disobey the lords' servants in the streets;

People insist that the damned lords are conservative and uncivilized, but they themselves are afraid of any innovation because they fear the future;

People always say that the virtuous monarch is deceived by the méng of the jiān delusional villain, but they don't want to think that these so-called jiān delusional villains are all promoted by the monarch himself.

As she grew older, Sabel thought more and more about these things, and the more she thought about them, the more afraid she became. So much so that Sabel no longer believes as much as he did when he was young that that bright age will be seen in his lifetime. For a while, Sabel became depressed, and for him, the current era was as hopeless as a dying man, exuding a lifeless air. He always regretted that he was born too early to see the changes of the times. He understands that no matter how hard he tries, this era will only move forward unhurriedly and become better without realizing it.

Soon after the change of mind, Sabel left the quiet university. Sabel once told the goblins that while the dream of change seemed so unattainable, he wanted to speed up the process, and he wanted to wake up as many people as possible and devote themselves to the battle to bury the old era.

Whenever this happens, the goblin shakes his head at the old friend, "Sabel, I've always been very sympathetic to your thoughts. I've always remembered what you said when you were younger: nothing can be done overnight, and speeding up the process can make things worse. How could you say that now? ”

But Sabel had always been a man who did what he thought, mailing his books to every guild on the docks, preaching revolutionary ideas to merchants and scholars, and calling his followers to walk into every town and village to preach the good times ahead. These things consume a lot of Sabel's energy, but the gains are small. A few years ago, some cities with strong royal families announced that Sabel was no longer welcome, and some guilds were pressured to stop helping Sabel with propaganda.

At the same time, the goblins continued to write their own dramas. To Sabel's dismay, the peddlers in the streets and the illiterate farmers in the fields quickly memorized the goblin play, but were indifferent to Sabel's propaganda.

This continued until the goblins found Sabel in a hurry, and Sabel was still preparing a few speeches - after the war began, such opportunities became less and less, only at the end of the month. There are some Salander temples in Suno, and the Salanders allow Sabel to propagate his ideas in the temples, and the authorities have gradually acquiesced to this situation, and people like Sabel are allowed to run around, and it is better to let him stay in a specific place, and occasionally officials will go to listen to Sabel's speeches. In the beginning, many people were encouraged by Sabel's depictions, but after a while, the world was still what it was, and people were no longer enthusiastic. Although the audience is gradually increasing, it is still very different from the scale that Sabel had in mind.

The Goblin found Sabel and told him about the dangers of the White Dove Valley. The goblin knew that Sabel had a good relationship with the Salanders, and he hoped that Sabel would use the Salanders to protect my grandfather and father at a critical time. Sabel agreed to the goblins a few days later, but he said that the Salanders were too big to smash things up, so he told the goblins that he would personally help the lords on the other side of the mountain if needed.

After visiting Sabel, the Goblin traveled to the Valley of the White Dove.

Now it seems that the goblin's efforts have been in vain - my grandfather has died.

This situation made the goblin decide to protect my father, and after leaving the banquet, he found Sabel in the home of an alchemist, who was working on explosives, Sabel believed that this weapon would help the citizens better protect themselves, and the goblin was pessimistic that it would definitely make it easier for the emperor to suppress the civilians. That day, when Sabel heard about the wedding, he immediately set off with the goblin. They took the alchemist's cloak, asked the servant of the warlock's family to hire an improvised carriage that was not obtrusive, and then quietly went out of the city.

And so it was after that, and the two men demanded that the groom travel day and night, to reach the border town as quickly as possible. The goblin wanted to meet my father there and give him directions, and if possible, he wanted to escort him until he left the border.

The goblins thought Sabel was a little strange, and in the past, if Sabel felt that something was not successful, he would go out of his way to stop it. But this time, Sabel pointed out that the goblins could only come to their aid, but he didn't stop the goblins from continuing to chase my father's carriage. The goblin didn't think much of it, though, and continued to urge the groom forward.

The northwest of the empire has not experienced much war, with the richest land and the densest population. And fearing that war would burn on their doorstep, its inhabitants showed an astonishing patience with the Empire's growing taxes and conscriptions. It was through this region's allegiance that Emperor Haraus was able to transport food, weapons, and soldiers to various regions to stabilize his rule.

As the carriage traveled north, it was common to see young men hastily armed in a roadside clearing. Most of the soldiers were peasant children, and unlike the southerners, most of these young men were reluctant to join the army. The land in the south was barren and could not support an oversized population, so the inhabitants were highly motivated to join the army, and the emperor's recruiters often needed very little food and money to recruit large numbers of recruits in the vast hilly terrain on the north bank of the Blue Water River. In the north, however, the land was fertile, and if the farmer's family did not have enough manpower to take care of the estate, it would suffer serious losses, so although it supplied the empire with a large amount of taxes and was the most potential source of soldiers, it could not continuously send soldiers to the front. Especially after the independence of Rhodoc, the empire desperately needed this region to make up for its tax losses, so it was not too much to ask about the refusal of the inhabitants of this region to export population, but the collection of goods became more and more unscrupulous.

By now, the Emperor's emissaries had ordered the young men of the North to be trained to prepare for the war that might expand at any time. Some time ago, the crushing defeat of the people of Frostburg in the south gave great encouragement to the young people of the north, who felt that the war was one step away from them. What used to be a full-day training has gradually turned into a half-day training, large-scale troop drills have been canceled, and soldiers have been assigned to make weapons, which is a good sign for the soldiers, which means that they will not be sent to the battlefield for a while.

The goblins saw a number of men carrying dried oak saplings as they came out of the forest, listlessly watching the carriage heading north. Sabel saw the goblin's gaze and said coldly: "The whole oak sapling is the best spear handle, and these things will be the forest spears all over the battlefield in the future, and the emperors rely on these things to suppress everything." If there's something that can destroy all of this, you see, we'll be able to talk to the Emperor in peace. ”

The goblin didn't speak, he knew he couldn't convince his friend, just as his friend couldn't.

As the goblin and Sabel watched as the man carrying the timber disappeared to the end of the woods, the coachman suddenly stopped the carriage. The abrupt stop huddles the goblins and Sabel into a pile.

"What's going on?" The goblin screamed in displeasure.

"Guest, a carriage in front of you has gotten stuck in the mud, and a man has come over there, as if he has come to ask us for help."

"Why is it so troublesome, can you get around? We don't have time to delay. ”

At this time, the man came from a distance, shouting as he went: "I'm sorry, we were on the road all night last night, and we accidentally got caught in the trap, can you lend us the horse to pull the car?" ”

The goblins and Sabel were shocked when they heard this, especially the goblins, and secretly congratulated themselves that they had ordered the carriage to go overnight, otherwise they would miss the man he was looking for.

At that time, my mother and I were hiding in the carriage in front of us, especially checking the wheels, and the groom calmed the carriage.

We had been on the road all night, sleepy and hungry, but my father said that we would be able to leave here for Beihai in one day, and at that time, we would not have to travel again. Unfortunately, it was at this time that our carriage got caught in the mud puddle.

Just a few minutes ago, my father said he saw a carriage coming and he was going to borrow a horse.

Unbeknownst to his father, he was about to have one last conversation with his teacher, the goblin.
