I came to the lobby and looked around, and finally saw the bookcase that the landlady mentioned, placed together with the wine cabinet. You really wouldn’t have noticed it if you weren’t paying attention.
The bookcase is not big, but it is filled with books. After opening his analytical eyes and observing for a moment, Lin Zheng reached out and took out a book from the cabinet, "The Collapse of the Empire". I wonder if there is anything he wants to know in it.
After telling Xun to be on guard, Lin Zheng opened the book.
Opening the book, the opening chapter was about the war with the Jumang tribe. When he saw this, Lin Zheng felt certain that he had found the right one. He opened the page and looked down. According to the description on the tree, this war
Although it was very fierce, it did not have much impact on the huge empire. Charlemagne's empire was too huge. The entire world was Charlemagne's land, and the war between the empire and the Jumang tribe was at that time.
Man only mobilized the top experts in the empire to participate, so although the battle was tragic, it did not have much impact on the overall environment of the empire.
The war is described like a myth, but from the perspective of the people on both sides of the war, to ordinary people, it is indeed a myth. After turning over the myth-like war, we finally see the situation after the war.
.The great holy emperor Charlemagne was seriously injured in the war and died not long after returning to France!
After Charlemagne's death, the ownership of his heir became the most important issue in this huge empire! Charlemagne was an emperor who struggled endlessly. He spent his whole life fighting and training until he unified the entire world.
, and then he began to marry wives and have concubines. However, not long after Charlemagne got married, the two worlds collided. In the end, he died young before leaving any heirs, and this became the source of turmoil in the empire!
Although Charlemagne had no heirs, he had many tribesmen. After Charlemagne's death, these tribesmen argued endlessly over who was the legal heir. The dispute gradually turned into a battle to control this huge empire.
The empire is too tempting. In front of the throne, family ties have no binding effect at all!
In less than a hundred days, royal relatives with huge competitiveness from all sides started a life-and-death struggle in the city of France. In order to achieve the final victory, all parties resorted to all possible means, including magic that could move mountains and seas.
The world-destroying combat skills just blossomed in the city of France. The once prosperous and wealthy imperial capital was completely destroyed in the war!
Seeing this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but frown. He was not surprised by the robbery of the throne. After all, Charlemagne's position was too tempting for most people. As long as there was a chance, who would
They all want to fight for it. But the process of this fight is a little too hasty and impatient?! In less than a hundred days, they are fighting for life and death in the imperial capital. Are these guys crazy? Where is the imperial capital?
Can that be used as a battlefield?! No matter who becomes the emperor in the end, the imperial capital will become one of the emperor's most precious assets. In other words, for those who compete for it, the imperial capital is theirs, and they can take their most precious wealth.
It's such a waste, what else could it be if it wasn't a brain attack?!
Unknowingly, Zoma's name emerged in Lin Zheng's mind. This impulsive decision was almost the same as the battle between Charlemagne and Ursa! Those who participated in the fight for the throne must be following Charlemagne.
Those people who fought in Mannan's Northern War, those who could bring down the whole world, would they not have such brains? In addition to being interfered by Zoma's witchcraft, Lin Zheng really couldn't think of the second possibility! That guy
, he really carried out his evil deeds to the end!
After sighing softly, Lin Zheng continued to turn the pages of the book. There was no real winner in the Battle of Frank City. Although there were some royal families who were lucky enough to survive, they had lost the essence in their hands! After the war, various places
The great lords issued messages one after another, accusing the royal family of atrocities! Then they all supported their own troops, and the huge empire that had been unified for a short time finally collapsed!
Fortunately, on the verge of complete destruction of the empire, the paladins who had followed Charlemagne stood up. A group of paladins led by Roland supported the last royal family and preserved the homeland of Charlemagne's empire, which was Lin.
Zheng had seen on the teleportation list before that there were twelve large cities including Roland City. Since Fran City had been completely destroyed, after the war, the capital had been moved to Roland City...
Closing the book, Lin Zheng subconsciously rubbed his temples, feeling that his brain hurt so much! I really couldn't figure out what the purpose of Zoma and Charlemagne's concubine was! What a powerful empire.
, forcing them to fall apart, what good will this do to them?! Okay! Putting aside such subjective issues, the biggest problem before Lin Zheng now is, those two who are making trouble
Guys, where did they hide?! Lin Zheng didn't think they would die in the war!
"Yiping! That guy Merck is here!"
Hearing Xun's voice, Lin Zheng came back to his senses. After calmly putting the book back on the bookcase, he took down another "Far Eastern Style" book, closed his analytical eyes and read it seriously.
stand up.
Soon, Merck's footsteps came behind Lin Zheng, and then he smiled in a familiar tone: "Master Siegfried is really studious!"
Lin Zheng looked frightened, turned around and said angrily: "Can't your footsteps be louder? Don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"
"Sorry! I'm sorry, Master!" Merck said with an apologetic smile. When Lin Zheng's expression softened, he continued: "Master! I have something to discuss with you about going to the Valley of Darkness tomorrow.
of."
"What's going on?" Lin Zheng closed the book and looked at Merck, "You're not ready to go, are you?"
"No, no, no!" Merck shook his head quickly, "Of course I will follow you!"
"What's that?" Lin Zheng was a little impatient, "Quickly tell me, I still want to read a book!"
"That's right, young master!" Merck said with a smile, "I heard from old hunters that black-faced apes hate a local thing called cat poop coffee, so I think we need to buy some.
in case for need!"
"Cat poop coffee?!" Lin Zheng stared at him for a moment. He didn't expect that there was even such a thing here?!
"Yes, cat poop coffee!" Merck said with a smile, "It's normal for the young master to be surprised. It was the same when I first heard about this thing! But this kind of coffee, don't listen to the unpleasant name, the taste is amazing
It’s very good, more and more people like it now, and the price is not cheap!”
Hearing this, Lin Zheng said with a look of disgust: "How could anyone like to eat this kind of thing?! Isn't this thing really fished out of cat poop?"
"It's indeed from cat poop!"
After hearing this, Lin Zheng immediately made a vomiting gesture, and then waved his hand to Merck, "Since you think this thing is useful, then go ahead and buy it! Just ask me to reimburse you for the money!"
"Master Haole! I'm going out right now, so I won't disturb you while you're reading!"
Watching Merck leave, Lin Zheng's eyes were full of suspicion. What on earth is this guy doing? Buying coffee? I've never heard of monkeys being allergic to coffee!
"Little... leader!"
Hearing Yang Qi's voice, Lin Zheng looked at her angrily, "Who is the little group leader?! If you dare to yell at me again, I won't pay you!"
Yang Qi looked around and made sure there were no outsiders, then she ran towards Lin Zheng with a smile, "If you don't send it, you won't send it! I'll go home and get it myself!" Lin Zheng couldn't laugh or cry for a while. This dead girl
! He raised his hand and flicked her forehead!
Yang Qi rubbed his forehead and took a breath, then said: "Everyone asked me to come over and ask you, what the hell are you doing? What's the point of taking a good rest? Although the hot springs are very good."
"Don't I want to reward you?" Lin Zheng said with a smile on his face.
"Get out!" Yang Qi rolled his eyes at Lin Zheng, "Say it quickly!"
After listening, Lin Zheng put away the smile on his face and sighed helplessly: "We are in big trouble! Charlemagne's empire has been divided, and the city of France, as the imperial capital, was established more than a hundred years ago.
It was reduced to rubble!"
"Ah——?!!" Yang Qi exclaimed, are you kidding?! Isn't this too much fun?! "Xiao Linzi! You are not talking nonsense, are you? This kind of thing is not a big deal.
It’s not even funny!”
"Does my expression look like I'm joking?!" Lin Zheng said angrily, "I just talked to the boss lady specifically to ask if there was any place where I could see history books."
"Then what?"
"Then it's what I just said!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Qi snatched the book from his hand. When he opened the book and looked at it, he suddenly stared at him and couldn't understand!
"Go—!" Lin Zheng snatched the book back in a funny manner, "Stop reading! It's so troublesome! Besides, this isn't that book!"
"Then what should we do now?!" Yang Qi asked with a headache, "How big is the world, where can we find that guy Zoma?!"
"It's definitely not possible to rely on our words alone!" Lin Zheng put the book back on the bookcase and said, "Someone needs help for this kind of thing."
"Who to look for?" Yang Qi looked distressed. They were outsiders here. Once their identities were exposed, they might even be hunted down at any time. Who could they turn to for help?!
"There is good news for now!" Turning to look at Yang Qi, whose eyes lit up, Lin Zheng continued: "Although Charlemagne's empire was split, the paladins who followed him were still there, and they supported Charlemagne.
The tribesmen became the new emperor. Although they were unable to save the entire empire in the end, they also retained a lot of territory. Judging from their behavior, they were still very loyal to Charlemagne. Therefore, if you find them and obtain
If they trust us, then we can borrow their power to help investigate the traces of Zoma and the concubine!"
Hearing what Lin Zheng said, Yang Qi finally felt relieved, but immediately became worried, "But where can we find those paladins?"
"I don't know! But I think it's very likely that those Paladins are living in seclusion in the cities named after them! If that's the case, we've really made a big circle!"
Seeing Lin Zheng sighing, Yang Qi couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Roland City is now the new imperial capital of the empire, and Paladin Roland is the head of all the Paladins!" Lin Zheng was stunned as he said that, "Yes! Hunter Guild?" When approaching the Hunter Guild, it was
Several powerful auras woke up Lin Zheng. Although the opponent was well hidden, Lin Zheng was much stronger than others in terms of sensing because he practiced Qinglian Taoism. At that time, he didn't care much. After all, he could fight against the Jumang tribe.
There are a few strong men of rank nine in this world, so it’s really not that rare! But looking back now, it’s rare! So rare! You must know that Charlemagne’s empire has been divided, so naturally the strong men who were once under Charlemagne’s command are
They were also scattered all over the place. If Charlemagne's Empire still had a large number of nine-level warriors, then Paladin Roland and the others would have launched a crusade against those who supported their own troops!
"Qiqi!" Lin Zheng laughed heartily, "I think I probably know where Roland is!"
After a night's rest, everyone on the second day was finally energetic and ready to take action! Lin Zheng and Yang Qi had clearly explained the current situation of Charlemagne's empire to everyone, and also explained their future action plans to everyone.
All in all, what they have to do now is to complete the task at hand. Before meeting Roland, they must not let him preconceptions that they are a disaster! It is not a good idea to directly sneak into the guild to find Roland. It has been wiped out.
It is against common sense that a person can appear again. In all the worlds, only the most precious treasure of the Hall of Heroes can break this common sense. But not everyone knows about the Hall of Valor! Once a strong man like Roland is born first
Doubtful, it will be troublesome to gain his trust again! Therefore, before they show their cards to Roland, they must find Charlemagne's relics and let Charlemagne come to this land again!
Merck is indeed very dedicated. When Lin Zheng and the others walked out of the hotel door, he had already prepared carriages for everyone. On one of the carriages, there were sacks. Judging from the smell, those must be Merck
The cat poop coffee I bought was really not cheap. When this guy asked Lin Zheng for reimbursement yesterday, he asked for a French coin. I don’t know if he got any kickback!
Seeing Lin Zheng going out, Merk greeted him with a smile on his face, "Master Siegfried, I have prepared all the things needed to go to the Valley of Darkness and can set off at any time!"
After Lin Zheng pretended to check the carriage, he nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted: "Okay, members! Take the time to get on the carriage, let's set off now!" After that, he looked towards Merck, "
Do you know the way to the Valley of Darkness?"
"We know! We know! I have the mission log left by the old hunter!"
"Okay! I'll leave it to you to lead the way. Get in the car!"
"Okay, Master Siegfried!" After saying that, Merk quickly sat on the leader's carriage, grabbed the reins in an elegant manner, and waited for Lin Zheng and the others to get on the carriage and set off.
There were three carriages in total. Except for the leading carriage, the other two were followed by carriage drivers. When they heard that Lin Zheng and the others were going to the Valley of Darkness, the carriage drivers immediately changed their expressions and shook their heads in rejection. To ordinary people, that place was...
It's too dangerous! Looking at the coachman who kept shaking his head, Lin Zheng couldn't help but curse in his heart. Merck, the bastard, said that he was very experienced, but he didn't even consider the coachman's problem! Wait, this guy didn't
Could it be intentional?! After all, the only thing that can make people overcome fear is enough benefits, and I happen to be the one who takes advantage of that person who is stupid and rich!
Ma Dan! The more I think about it, the more likely it is, that bastard! I still can’t settle the score with him, but I hate Lin Zheng so much! I have no choice but to make a promise to the coachman, so there is no need to follow them into the darkness.
Valley, just take them outside the Valley of Darkness! As for wages, just two French coins per person! After all, the risk is indeed not small, these two coachmen are just ordinary people with a little stronger strength.
The temptation of two French coins was huge. The coachmen gritted their teeth and accepted the job. When everyone got on the carriage, Merck flicked the reins in his hand and said, "Drive——!"
With a shout, the carriage drove slowly towards the gate of Liming Town.
Arriving outside Liming Town, the carriage gradually picked up speed. After a whole morning of galloping, at noon, Lin Zheng and the others could finally see the rolling mountains in the distance. When they arrived here, the carriage drivers became nervous.
The desolate wild environment is a paradise for hunters to hunt, but for ordinary people with insufficient abilities, this kind of place is simply a nightmare. They don't know when a monster or even a group of monsters will come out. With their weak bodies, as long as they can
When encountering monsters, there is basically only one way to die!
Looking at the shivering driver, Lin Zheng suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
When the carriage stopped, Lin Zheng turned over and jumped out of the carriage, and then said to the coachmen: "Unload the things on the carriage, and then you can leave!"
Hearing this, the two coachmen were suddenly pleasantly surprised. After thanking each other, they hurriedly began to unload the things from the car. Merck walked forward and frowned: "Master! We are still some distance from the entrance of the Valley of Darkness.
What about the distance! What should we do when we go back?"
Have you considered letting us go back?! After glancing at Merck, Lin Zheng said: "We can just go here. The rest of the way is just walking. It's not very far. Besides, it's already noon, so hurry up."
After a long journey, everyone is also hungry. It happens to be safer here, so we should rest and eat something first. Only when we are full can we have the strength to cope with possible situations that may happen later!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xilu raised her hands excitedly and shouted: "I'm hungry, I want to eat!"
Hearing everyone's response, Merck had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Young Master is right, that's okay! Let's take a break and have a meal now! But Master, as for the carriage, you can at least let them keep an extra one!"
"Stay and you drive? I can't! What about you?"
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads in cooperation, but Merck choked, and in the end could only watch the coachmen driving the two carriages away quickly.
