Chapter 69: Principality's Heritage
From Shirley's crying, Gu Xiao got a sad answer.
The Duchy of York had fallen seven or eight years earlier, and its territory was divided into three parts, inherited by the Duchy of Joseph, the Duchy of Harek, and the new Duchy of York, which consisted of the remnants of the Duchy of York.
The Duchy of Joseph, which inherited part of the territory of the Duchy of York, is unprecedentedly powerful, but it is such a powerful Duchy that it has never given up on finding the legacy of the Duchy of York, which is said to have preserved the training methods of the Principality of York's strongest army, the 'Wolf Hussars'.
Joseph hadn't tried to get his share of the inheritance from Shirley, he did, and it was the last sweet time for Shirley and Joseph. Although it was a platonic sweet time.
But Joseph didn't get any information about that inheritance from Shirley, and Shirley had cut off all ties with that ancient country long before the collapse of the Duchy of York. So Joseph believed Shirley's words.
After that, it was the process of Shirley's status continuing to decline, constantly falling out of favor, and sliding into the abyss.
Shirley wiped away her tears and said, "Hamlet, I don't know why my father left you the key to the last inheritance. But the last words he left me did just say this, saying that I was the last concern he could not let go of in this world, and that he had left me a small treasure. β
"The key to the opening of that treasure lies in you, Hamlet."
A look of doubt flashed in Gu Xiao's eyes. Key? On my body?
Immediately, he remembered the scene at the end of the first act, which resembled a cutscene.
The old king solemnly allowed himself to swear his allegiance to Shirley, and only then handed over the two talismans to himself.
Could it be said? Those two talismans are the key?
Gu Xiao immediately pretended to take something out of his pocket, but in fact, he took out the talisman from the space backpack.
Spread the talisman on the table, fetch the brightest candle in the dormitory, and the two of them began to observe the strangeness of this talisman.
These two talismans are different from the previous ones, and the front of these two depicts the archer riding on top of a wolf and bending his bow and shooting arrows.
And if you look closely, you can see that the frontal portraits of these two point talismans are different from each other, although they are the same portraits of the wolf light cavalry, but there are many differences in details.
Looking at the two slightly abstract portraits, Shirley frowned and pondered.
The once-well-educated former princess quickly thought of the connection between the two portraits.
With her slender hand, she pointed to the highlighted points in the portrait.
"Hamlet, you see, if these dots are connected in pairs, they are the approximate appearance of the two provinces on the map."
"Dossack and Silvadori, these two provinces happen to be the fiefs that my father told me to grant me when I come of age."
Looking at Shirley's big sparkling eyes, desperately eager to get the same opinion from herself, Gu Xiao could only say, you are a princess, what you said is reasonable!
I'm a traverser, and I haven't seen the map of the Duchy of York, so how do I know if the dots are connected together in the shape of Dossack and Sylvadori!
The two thought for a moment, but they encountered new troubles.
"But now Dossack and Sylvadori are not in the Duchy of Joseph, but are part of the new York."
Looking at Shirley's unspeakable look, Gu Xiao said that she couldn't understand.
"Wouldn't that be better? Let's just go over there. The Duchy of York, even if a new word is added, isn't it still your maiden home! β
Shirley's face was even more ashamed.
"The present New York was re-formed by the royalists of Old York. One of the most important ideas of the royalists was that I should not marry Joseph, and they believed that my actions objectively led to the division of the Duchy of York. β
Gu Xiao patted his forehead.
Well, I knew that it was the pot left by the love brain Shirley back then.
Now it is not easy for me to go to Dossack and Sylvadori to help Shirley retrieve the Magic Mirror.
The two studied for another morning, and in the meantime, it wasn't all bad news.
For example, based on the guide of the point sigil image, they once again ruled out the option of Sylvadori, leaving only a small territory of Dossack as a target.
For example, they roughly analyzed what the so-called Legacy Key meantβa magic circuit was engraved on each of the two Pawn Talismans. Together, these two magic circuits can be used as keys to unlock the legacy of the Duchy of York.
At the end of the discussion, Gu Xiao said with emotion: "Your father really loves you." The demise of the Duchy of York was foreseen twelve years ago, and the means were prepared in advance to leave a legacy. β
Shirley's guilty nerves were touched again by these words, and she threw herself into Gu Xiao's arms again and cried loudly.
β¦β¦
A week later, Gu Xiao came alone to a small territory in the province of Dosak.
He didn't take Shirley with him this time, one of them was because Prince Joseph's goal was too big, and she would cause a lot of trouble if she disappeared. The second is that New York doesn't welcome her very much, fearing that her coming along will disrupt the plan to obtain the Magic Mirror this time.
After entering the territory, he unfolded the map drawn by Shirley herself, and through four extremely obvious markers, Gu Xiao completed the determination of the location of the heritage.
Follow the directions on the map and walk to the heritage location.
Gu Xiao glanced up, his eyes widening suddenly.
Huh-
Look down again to make sure you do, then look up again. His eyes widened even wider than before.
He turned around and checked the next four markers: "Hills, trees that are more than 100 years old, temples, abandoned wells, like, probably, likely, it seems that I have not found the wrong place." β
Gu Xiao was going crazy.
"But why, the legacy is buried under a biogas digester!"
A biogas digester, as the name suggests, is where biogas is produced from farmyard manure. Biogas can be used for combustion, and by-products from the digester can be used directly as fertilizer.
Farmhouse fertilizer, as the name suggests, is - Yoneda Gong.
Gu Xiao gritted his teeth angrily.
"Your grandmother, I hope you don't let me find out who built this digester in this location, you wait for me to find out. There is absolutely no good fruit to eat. β
was helpless in his heart, but Gu Xiao could only bite the bullet and find a way to enter the underground from the biogas digester.
Fortunately, he didn't have to go to Yoneda to swim around.
took out the two point talismans from the old king, but I didn't expect that in this special geographical location, as soon as those two point talismans were taken out, they emitted a little cyan brilliance.
After this cyan light shrouded Gu Xiao, it completely dimmed.
And Gu Xiao's body gradually became transparent and faded in this constantly dimming light, until it was completely invisible.
The Yoneda Konoochi under him automatically separates to the sides, extending a path that can only be used by one person.
Seeing this situation, Gu Xiao just wanted to scold.
"I'm XX you're XX, old emperor! Biogas digester you XX! β
