Hainf and Rollint were sitting on two separate beds, silently looking at each other.
This is a small wooden house, but it is still comfortable, the inside is clean and tidy, and it is covered with carpets. There are hanging paintings of woolen fabrics on the wall, depicting the abstract scenery in the Grajal Mountains. The workers planted lilies of the valley on the windowsill. These fine white flowers emerged from the windowsill and swayed slightly under the gentle breeze at night. NS.
These small flowers, which are hard to see in this season, are not surprising in the Black Forest. In the ring of trade winds, as long as the'long winter' in the forest has not arrived, you can see spring and summer all year round. All kinds of flowers.
Hainf stared out of the window, and a stream of light gathered in the darkness in the distance, as if a few stars were falling on the ground, giving a little warmth in the endless darkness—that was the light of the town. The locals call this emerging town'Sarnan', which means the gem of light, to describe its sight in the dark.
The town was prospered by mining, and people from all over the world came here, settled down, and formed the scale it is today. But now there are not only refugees, but also attracted gold prospectors and merchants. Spontaneous bazaars have appeared in densely populated settlements. Around Sarnan, dots of mine have appeared in the Black Forest. The village, maybe not ten years, here is another fir collar.
However, the restrainers here are still the druids in the Kalanga Mountains. The druids keep the fire, and at the same time restrain humans from developing the forest excessively.
"That guy... Where is the wizard going to take us?" After a while of silence, Rollint finally couldn't help asking: "We are aristocrats. Even if we have some offenses, there is no reason to restrict our freedom. Besides, what use are we to him? Does he want a ransom? It’s no problem, but a messenger must be sent."
Huinf turned his head and said, "You are the only prisoner, Rollint, I am not. I volunteered to be on the same road with the wizard, because it happened that I had to drop by to Tonigel."
"Don't you see it, Hainf, he is leading us in circles in the forest. I have spent a few weeks trekking in the Black Forest, but the journey from Malos to Fir Castle will not exceed three days at most. ."
Rollinte said irritably.
Hainf glanced at the young man jokingly. This guy has always been above the top, but he finally learned his lesson this time. He took out the drawing board and charcoal from his backpack and began to scribble on the beautiful night view of Sarnan. At the same time, he replied: "It depends on the adult's wishes. Besides, I don't think it is A waste of time, we rescued a beautiful lady, didn’t we—from your evil companions—we wouldn’t have taken this long if it weren’t for you.”
"Furthermore, Rollint, the person who is not sure about the situation now is probably you. You and my noble status are not worth mentioning in the eyes of that adult. I think you should be more careful. This time you stand on the opposite side of Her Royal Highness. I think that adult is very concerned about the affairs of the princess. He may be a leftover member of the Corcovado royal family."
"It's just nonsense." Rollint frowned.
"It's just a guess, but when Eru had such a powerful wizard, the Buga didn't seem to be worth mentioning in front of him. He clearly took care of the princess in his words. I think this is exactly what The reason why those gray wizards angered him."
"If there is such a powerful support behind the royal family, why don't they need the help of Lord Earl." Rollinte replied in a deep voice.
The charcoal in Hainf's hand stopped.
This is exactly what he worries about. His family is dependent on the rise of Eruin's royal power, but he himself is an admirer of the Lord Earl. Everyone has their own ambitions, and from their own standpoint, ha What Infu wants to see most is undoubtedly the combination of the two.
But if the royal family has the same strength as the Lord Earl, where will Eruin's future go
He silently sketched the image of the princess in his heart, but found that there is no fixed shape at all. Between reality and ideals, which direction would the daughter of Obergus VII choose
"This is a city built by Lord Earl," said Hainf. "He is the last knight who has opened up territory for Vaughan since he pioneered the era. But I have heard from the nobles in various regions about this matter. The discussion, all with the mentality of watching the show, as for Eruin’s lower class is indifferent to it, as if it has nothing to do with them. Few people can see the black forest to Tonygel's earth-shaking changes-this book The unnamed southern border is now one of the most prosperous commercial areas after Ampersel."
"On the contrary, it is the merchants who are more sensitive to this. They have already started to penetrate the Black Forest with the steps of Lord Earl. However, including these people, most people think that Lord Earl has had good luck, but a After all, people’s good fortune is limited. Just like an investment, it may make money and may lose money. But if those people are here today, they may feel dumb at their thoughts."
He turned his head back: "Rolint, why do you think the nobles of Eruin today have such a big gap with the eyes of the Lord Earl?"
Rollint fell silent. He admired the Lord Earl because of his majestic martial arts military might, as well as his incomparable strength and legendary personal experience, all of which made the young people of this era excited. But more importantly, he is neither humble nor overbearing in front of the Cruz people, which fully fits the heroic image of this generation of Eruin young people.
But no one is perfect, and the same is true for heroes. The legendary rise of the Lord Earl stems from his good luck in the Black Forest. This is understandable, but there is a sense of mystery determined by fate. Perhaps it was Master Martha who sent this hero to Eruin to save this ancient fallen kingdom, a feeling dictated by fate, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the nobles.
But here today, he has subverted all his previous views. A local businessman personally calculated an account for them. That is Sarnan’s income within a quarter and the investment in maintaining Tinder. Those two are equally unimaginable. Astronomical numbers.
This is an unbelievable plan in the eyes of the nobles. In their opinion, the wealth that the Lord Earl had fortunately seized from the Black Forest, most of which were reinvested in the expenditure of maintaining the territory. This is simply a The most ridiculous arithmetic problem.
But in fact, Rollint saw the towns scattered in the Black Forest, taking root in this forest step by step. They are like giant trees sprouting from the sky, drawing nutrients from the land and feeding back. Land—and one day, this place will become Eluin’s inherent land.
The most elusive hope in the darkness since the pioneering era, but it is so real here.
At that moment, Rollint really felt a sense of mission that breathed a common future and destiny. It was a long-term vision that made the soul tremble. It would take decades or even hundreds of years, a generation, even The efforts of several generations to accomplish all this.
A long-term arrangement about the future of the kingdom, and even the future of civilization and order, is just a small step for Tonigel, but it seems to open the door to a wider world for people: the Eruin people are in a small space. The infighting in the land of the land, and even the entire contradictions of Warend, behind this door, seemed extremely ridiculous.
Rollint seemed to have met Hainf again: "Hainf, I didn't expect you guy to care about this too."
"It's not esoteric, it's just that some people close their ears and eyes and don't want to understand." Hainf replied while drawing a long ridge on paper with charcoal.
"Since you have seen all of this," Rowlint replied in a deep voice, "I believe you must also have the intention to change it, and this is exactly what we are doing. When the Lord Earl left, the princess did nothing. One is not eroding the most powerful force within the kingdom. If Tonigel collapses due to this, everything we see in this black forest will one day be in vain."
He paused: "If you are still thinking about what happened before, I can apologize to you, Hainf, I think we are like-minded, why don't you join the royal party with me?"
Hainf turned his head, looked at him jokingly, and said, "Do you really think that the royal party can change Eruin, Rollint? The royal party just wants to change Eruin back to the old Eruin. They indulged in the so-called ZTE period before the Frost Rebellion, the co-ruling of the royal family and the nobility, but in that so-called best era, how much has Eruin changed?"
"It hasn't changed," Khainf replied: "Because the nobles actually don't want to change in their hearts. What they want is to maintain the status quo. In that era, we had the sword sage Darus Yutulaman as outstanding. But in fact, the so-called ZTE only arises because of people, and it also fails because of people."
"Rolint, the same is true today. In the Eruin of a nobleman's division, Tonigel's miracle will really only be a flash in the pan. The lessons of Lord Tulaman and Lord Darus have been deliberately I ignored it."
"Absurd, nonsense." The young man frowned, but he was struggling very much in his heart. There seemed to be a voice in his mind telling him that what Hainf said was right, but everything he had been fascinated by his childhood, his class, his His family and origin made him also have a good impression of Eruin, who was divided by the nobleman.
"You know it in your heart, Rawlint, Lord Earl has left us the answer."
"...?"
