Chapter 41: A Biography of the Founding of the Nation
Probably because of financial constraints, the seven manuscript books that Lord Nelson had unfortunate enough to collect were all short stories of one or two thousand words.
Four of the seven books are knightly novels, one is a long poem about the prosperous life of the nobility, and the last two are biographies of the Principality of Gatun.
Without even thinking about it, what Luo Wei prioritized reading at a glance and ten lines were the last two manuscripts of the biography of the Principality of Gatun.
Through this surprise reading, Luo Wei finally had a basic understanding of this other world, or the Duchy of Gatun where he lived.
The Principality of Gatun was founded in the 27th year of the Samarian Empire, in the year 2349 of the Grey Moon calendar.
In that year, Nicolai, the ancestor of the Duchy of Gatton, was divided into a wild Imton-Ferroja region.
Nicholas led his family members, servant knights, and dependents to build a wooden fort and plant crops in the Imton Wasteland, when the unsubdued King of the Barbarians and the Great Goblin King commanded a combined army to attack.
In order to protect his people, the first monarch Nikolai led the army to take the initiative to attack, and always took the lead in the front line, but he was defeated in successive battles.
At the most dangerous moment when only the last seven knights were left around him, the first king Nikolai finally moved the protector god of war Quiro Penza, so the first king and the seven knights instantly reversed the tide of the battle with the blessing of divine power, killing the king of the mountain barbarians and the king of the earth goblins in one fell swoop.
Under the guidance of the protector god of war, Quero Penza, the ancestor and the seven knights expanded their territory step by step, and finally turned the originally wild and barren Imton Wasteland into a rich land full of castles, and even the treacherous Feroka Mountains also established the mountain city of Candia, and divided Bridgeman, the best of the seven paladins, as the hereditary Count of Candia.
However, Bridgman, the first Earl of Candia, returned to the kingdom of Querobunza, the god of war, in a battle to encircle and suppress the mountain barbarians, and with him returned to the kingdom of God with 5,000 servants, more than 300 knights, thirteen spellcasters, and seven priests, whose bodies were buried forever in the endless mountains of the Feroka Mountains in accordance with Count Bridgeman's last wishes.
Then, the first Jun Nicolais personally commanded the army and avenged the Earl of Bridgeman.
In this account of the last battle of the Duchy of Gatun, Rovi discovers a record of the gravel road he had walked on, and the builder of the gravel road connecting the Duchy of Gatun to the Duchy of Raven was none other than the Earl of Bridgeman, who had died in the mountains.
But what puzzled Luo Wei was that this final battle, which caused the Principality of Gatun to lose its troops, did not clearly describe who the enemy was, but only vaguely said that it was a battle to encircle and suppress the mountain barbarians......
Of course, Luo Wei didn't think too deeply, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him, so why bother to eat this salted radish and this lightheart?
Seeing that the day was approaching, Rowe dragged the slaver Korenway to meet the poor servant who had escaped from the lair of the Bloody Blade bandits, but had fallen into the wolf den of the slave trader Korenway.
Rowe found that the poor man had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his head was swollen like a pig's head, and he could tell at a glance that he had been tortured to extract a confession at a very low level—a very low level, and as far as Rowe knew, he had at least nine ways to make the poor servant spit out the information he wanted to know without any external injuries.
"What's your name?"
Luo Wei moved a chair and sat down opposite the pitiful servant with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Hurry up and answer the question! Sitting in front of you, but the honorable and honorable Mr. Rowe Wizard, if you dare to tell half a lie, believe it or not, you will become an ugly zombie!"
The slave trader followed and asked, how do you look like a loyal slave.
"I—My name is Quincy Ondehill, honorable Mr. Wizard! Please, please don't turn me into a zombie, I'll say anything!
The poor servant, who had been devastated, apparently knew the necromancer of Rowe, so he was frightened by the slave trader and immediately shuddered to the ground, and he cried out in a frightened voice.
At Rowe's signal, two of the slave traders' guards from Colonway dragged the limp Quincy Ondelhill from the ground and pressed him back onto the chair directly across from Rowe.
"Don't be afraid of Quincy, as long as you answer my questions seriously, I will never turn you into a zombie. Luo Wei showed a reassuring smile, after finding that the smile made the poor Hu Cong tremble even more, Luo Wei could only helplessly put away his smile and asked directly: "First question, Quincy, do you remember the location of those Septic Blade bandits' lair?"
"Remember, remember, I've been very sensitive to terrain since I was a child, and I will never forget the place I walk through once, and the lair of the Bloody Blade Bandits is in the ......."
......
After spending almost an hour and repeated questioning to make sure that Poor Hu hadn't lied from Quincy Undehill, Rowe walked out of the makeshift interrogation room.
In Luo Wei's hand, there was an extra map that did not conform to the drawing rules of this other world at all, and only he could understand it, this map marked the gravel avenue, marked the more than ten villages scattered along the gravel avenue, including Nefre, the only town in this mountainous area within a radius of more than 200 miles, and most importantly, the lair of the Bloody Blade bandits who were only half a day away from Asrat.
Of course, the straight-line distance on the map is never equal to the actual distance, especially in mountainous areas.
Quincy Ondehill was able to run back to Asrat overnight, partly because of his super sensitivity to the terrain, and partly because of the extraordinary use of fear.
When human beings are threatened with death, they will always burst out with unimaginable potential, for example, under the same physical condition, ordinary runners will never be able to outrun a runner chased by a big wolf dog behind their buttocks.
"Mr. Colonway, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow your caravan to Candia with you. ”
After putting the map away, Rowe said to the slave traders.
"It's okay, but Mr. Wizard Rovi you're ...... alone"
The slave trader nodded, in fact he had vaguely guessed this possibility when Rowe asked Quincy Undehill.
"I'm worried, I'm a necromancer. ”
Rowe smiled, according to the information he got from Quincy Ondehill, there were no more powerful characters in the Bloody Blade's lair, not to mention that Rowe had also obtained information that was extremely beneficial to him-
In a valley almost a day's walk from the Bloody Blade's lair, the site of the Bloody Blade's annihilation of Lord Nelson's army two years ago, and the bodies of the dead, including the two bronze knights, were buried in that valley.
