Early the next morning, they finally reached the province of Jammeh.
At this point, Shannon was no longer on the boat.
At four o'clock in the morning, Angel placed Shannon in the province of Broken Gold, which is adjacent to the province of Jammeh. The main reason was that Shannon seemed not to be very comfortable with the high-altitude navigation and had been dizzy.
Taking into account her physical factors, Angel inquired about the route of the province of Jamei, and put her in the largest city in the province of Broken Gold - Maynuth, confirmed that she still had the ability to move, and drove the gondola. Fly to Jammeh Province.
When the sun rose leisurely, the gondola flew over Watford.
Watford is actually not ranked among the cities in Jammeh province, but it is the closest city to Gru Town. In Angel's childhood memory, Watford is a city that seems to never be explored. of the huge city. But after experiencing all kinds of giant cities, Angel found that Watford was a little bigger than Burais Town.
Bolai Town, who inspired the mainland, can see his unique personality even before approaching, full of literature, art and innovation. But Watford, even Dulu looked, felt a little cold and old. Even though there are a few high-rise buildings, the other houses are almost all made of black stones, and the whole city is almost one tone. The only thing worth mentioning is probably that the urban construction is very standardized, and the houses are neatly arranged, but from another perspective, this is too rigid.
"Lord Pat, look over there." Dulu suddenly pointed to one place and said to Angel.
Angel has been observing the city in his childhood memory, so he actually discovered the place Dulu was referring to early in the morning.
That's Watford's gate.
Outside the city gate, a group of ragged people were staying here. When the morning sun shone on the city gate, the city gate was slowly opened by the guards, and this group of people who looked like refugees poured into Watford one after another.
"They seem to be refugees?" Doru asked curiously.
"It's the refugees caused by the war." Angel felt the conversation between the guards. With the victory of Heilan, refugees from the coastal provinces poured into the nearby provinces. As the province closest to the front line, Yamei Province is not the first choice for refugees, but after all, there are many refugees who have been stationed here by the Mengen family.
Looking at the villages that were slaughtered in Heiwu Province before, and looking at this group of yellow-faced and skinny refugees.
It can be seen that the impact of this war on the Golden Sparrow Empire was too great.
When Shannon was still on the gondola, Angel once asked her the reason for Heilan's victory. Shannon himself could not say why. She was a guest in the Sumerian territory three months ago, and at that time she could not see the sea at all. Lan showed signs of victory. It seemed that the stalemate would last for a long time, but within a few days, there was news that several coastal provinces had fallen, and before she could leave, Heiwu Province was also captured.
"Speaking of the war between Hailan and Jinque, according to Shannon's tone, it seems to have been a stalemate for seven or eight years. But it seems a bit strange to end the battles in several provinces so quickly in a short period of time." road.
"It's really a bit strange." Angel: "However, don't think about it for now, let's go back to Gru Town."
Seeing so many refugees, Angel was even more resigned to Gru Town. Although the refugees are pitiful, sometimes refugees are also a disaster, especially for the simple folk customs of Gru Town.
"I hope the situation in Gru Town is better." Angel murmured softly.
Soon, they saw the town of Gru, located between the mountains and adjacent to the grassland.
After many years, looking at the familiar town, Angel should have been happy and excited. But before he got close to Gru Town, Angel had some unpleasant feelings in his heart.
"Stop." Angel suddenly shouted.
At this time, there is still a distance from Gru Town, and the gondola is hidden in the clouds. Dulu looked at Angel doubtfully: "Lord Pat, what's wrong?"
"There is something wrong with the atmosphere in Gru Town."
Dulu stretched out his head and looked through the thin cloud to the small town with houses dotted among the greenery.
Because of the distance, he couldn't see very clearly. But he felt that there seemed to be no problem with this town, except that it was a little smaller.
Faced with Dulu's doubts, Angel said softly, "I feel a strange aura."
In Angel's vision, the town was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. However, for him to say what was wrong, he couldn't explain it for a while.
Angel's expression slowly condensed. When he was about to return home, he found that there was a problem in the town. This was probably the last thing he wanted to see.
To be careful, Angel did not directly drive the flying boat over. Instead, he instructed Dulu to descend into the forest and slowly walk towards the direction of Gru Town.
The closer he gets to Gru Town, the more cautious Angel moves. On the contrary, it was Dulu, who could not see Angel's nervousness, and looked at the nearby scenery curiously.
After walking for half an hour, when the sun was shining, they came out of the forest.
In front of you, you can faintly see the Gaogang outside the outpost of Gru Town. According to the past practice, there are guards in the town. It's just that it's still a little far away, so I can't see if anyone is on the post.
There is farmland nearby, and no one is seen, but the farmland has been reclaimed. There are no weeds, and the fields are still green.
Judging by this, at least someone in town is tending the fields.
Five minutes later, when Angel saw a guard in soft armor standing on the sentry, his heart finally dropped a little.
The guards in the town are still there, which means that Gru Town still maintains a basic order.
He was afraid of any accident, like the slaughtered villages he had seen in Heiwu Province before. From the current situation, it seems to be OK.
However, you can't be completely reassured. Before seeing his brother, his heart was still hanging.
Their arrival was locked tightly by the guards on the sentry.
Guard Taiban's eyes were fixed on Dulu, and the turban that covered most of his face was particularly noticeable.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in Gru Town?" Before entering the town, the guard immediately asked, but the attitude was still kind, and the two of them were dressed normally. At least from the cloth on their bodies, it could be seen that they were not refugees.
Dulu's foreign accent was too heavy, Angel didn't let him speak, but took the initiative to say: "I'm from Konya, and I came here to meet an old friend."
- Konya is the largest city in the province of Jammeh.
Angel deliberately showed a strong aristocratic accent, and sure enough, when the guard heard such an authentic accent, his expression softened even more.
He didn't even care too much about Angel's crumpled clothes, he just thought he was a poor aristocrat.
"Who is Mr.'s old friend? I'm Jordan, the guard of Gru Town, and I can show you the way."
Jordan guard? Angel thinks about it carefully, it seems that the son of the sheriff in town seems to be called Jordan. But before, as if studying abroad, Angel had never seen it before.
"I'm here to find Viscount Pat. He and I have been good friends for many years." Angel smiled: "This time I'm here to find him for something."
When Angel said the name of Viscount Pat, the eyes of the Jordan guard changed suddenly.
Angel noticed the change in his eyes, and suddenly became suspicious: "What's the matter? Isn't Viscount Pat here?"
The Jordanian guard swallowed his saliva, looked around, made sure that no one was paying attention to him, and said in a low voice, "If you want to find Viscount Pat, I advise you to go back."
"Why?" Angel's expression didn't change, but he felt uneasy in his heart: "Isn't Viscount Pat here not here?"
"I don't know, maybe it's there." Jordan guard looked hesitant.
"What happened?" Angel saw that the Jordan guard was unwilling to speak, and said, "If you don't want to say it, then take me to see George Knight. I came to Gru five years ago. Town, where Knight George received me."
Knight George is actually the sheriff of the town. If Angel's memory is correct, it is also Jordan's father.
As soon as he heard George's name, Jordan's expression really changed. He thought for a while, and he didn't know whether to say that the Viscount's mansion had closed, and simply said, "If that's the case, then I'll take you to find Knight George."
The Jordanian guard led the two towards the town, and along the way, someone took the initiative to greet Jordan. Many of them were familiar faces, and Angel had a feeling of reunion after a long absence, but when he thought of Jordan's hesitation towards Viscount Pat, Angel's emotional thoughts disappeared.
And until now, Angel didn't feel the strange atmosphere that he felt before, where did it come from. Is it really from Pat Manor
Thinking of this, Angel's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Little Jordan, you are not on duty, why are you running around. Also, who are these two?" When the door of a large log house was pushed open, a burly-looking middle-aged man came out.
"Dad, they are..." Before the Jordan guard could finish his words, the middle-aged man gave him a severe blow.
"I warned you, you have to call me the sheriff when you work!"
Jordan covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty."
The middle-aged man was George, and his eyes turned to Angel and Dulu, "Who are they?"
Jordan: "Mr. Sheriff, he is coming to Lord Viscount. He said that he is a friend of Lord Viscount. He also said that you received him five years ago. I can't make up my mind, so I came to you."
George's expression changed slightly, looking at Angel up and down. After a long while, he turned around and pulled out the long sword from Jordan's waist. The tip of the ice cold sword pointed at Angel: "You lie, I have never seen you. Say, who are you?! What are you doing here? "
Jordan was also stunned, why did he suddenly become tense.
Angel looked at George quietly, his eyes were a little dazed. After a while, he turned around slowly, closed the door with a creak.
When the door closed, Angel suddenly said softly:
"Uncle George, long time no see."
