Hainfu and Rollint sat on two separate beds, looking at each other in silence.
This is a small wooden house, but it is comfortable, clean and tidy inside, and carpeted. There are woolen textile paintings on the wall, depicting abstract scenes of the Grahar Mountains, and workers are planting crops on the windowsill.
The lily of the valley, these fine white flowers popped out from the window sill, swaying slightly in the night breeze.
These little flowers that are difficult 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 them all year round at the turn of spring and summer.
All kinds of flowers.
Hainf stared out the window. There was a stream of light gathering in the darkness in the distance, like stars falling on the ground, giving people a little warmth in the endless darkness. They were the lights of the town. The locals called this
The emerging town is called 'Sarnan', which means gem of light, to describe its scene in the dark night.
The town prospered because of mining. People from all over the world came here and settled down, forming the current scale. But now there are not only refugees here, but also attracted gold prospectors and businessmen, making it a densely populated settlement.
A spontaneously formed market appeared inside, surrounding Sarnan, and dots of my villages appeared in the black forest. Maybe in less than ten years, this will be another fir collar.
However, the restrainers here are still the druids in the Kalanga Mountains. The druids keep the fire and restrain humans from overexploiting the forest.
"That guy...where does that wizard plan to take us?" After a period of silence, Rollint finally couldn't help but ask: "We are nobles, even if there is some offense, there is no reason to restrict our freedom in this way.
, besides, what use are we to him? Does he want a ransom? That’s no problem, but a messenger must be sent.”
Hainf turned back: "Only you are a prisoner, Luo Linte, and I am not. I voluntarily went with the wizard, because I happened to be going to Tonigel along the way."
"Can't you see, Hainf? He's taking us in circles in the forest. I've spent weeks trekking in the Black Forest, but the trip from Marloth to Firsburg wouldn't have taken more than three days at most.
.”
Rollint said angrily.
Hainf gave the boy a joking look. This guy had always had his eyes set above his head, and he finally learned a lesson this time. He took out a drawing board and charcoal from his backpack and started scribbling on the beautiful night view of Sarnan.
Write, and at the same time replied: "It depends on the wishes of that adult. Besides, I don't think it is a waste of time. We rescued a beautiful lady from your evil companions, if it hadn't been for you."
, it won’t take us that long.”
"And Luo Linte, I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't understand the situation now. Your and my noble status are not worth mentioning in the eyes of that adult. I think you should be more careful. This time you are standing on the opposite side of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
I see that that gentleman is very concerned about the affairs of Her Royal Highness, and he may be a missing member of the Corcova royal family."
"This is simply nonsense." Luo Linte frowned.
"It's just a guess, but when did Eruin have such a powerful wizard? The Buga people seemed to be not worth mentioning in front of him. He clearly cared about the princess in his words. I think this is
The reason why those gray mages pissed him off."
"If the royal family has such a powerful support behind them, then why do they need the help of the earl?" Luo Linte replied in a deep voice.
The charcoal pencil in Hainf's hand stopped.
This is exactly what he is worried about. His family is attached to the rise of Eruin's royal power, but he himself is an admirer of the earl. Everyone has his own ambitions, and for his own position, ha
What Infu most hopes to see is undoubtedly the two becoming one.
But if the royal family and the earl have the same strength, where will Eruin's future go?
He silently sketched the image of Her Royal Highness the Princess in his mind, but found that there was no fixed shape at all. Between reality and ideals, which direction would the daughter of Obergu VII choose?
"This is a city founded by the Earl," Hainf said: "He is the last knight to open up territory for Warnd since the pioneering era. But I heard nobles in various regions express their opinions on this matter.
The discussions were all carried out with the mentality of watching a good show. As for Eruin's lower levels, they were indifferent to it, as if it had nothing to do with them. Few people could see the earth-shaking changes that the Black Forest had made to Tony Geer.
The nameless southern border is now one of the most commercially prosperous areas after Ampelsel."
"The ones with a more sensitive sense of smell are the businessmen. They have already followed the Earl's pace and started to go deep into the Black Forest. However, including these people, most people think that the Earl is lucky, but one
After all, people's luck is limited. Just like an investment, you may make money or lose money. But if those people were here today, they might be speechless about their own thoughts."
He turned back: "Rolint, why do you think there is such a big gap between the visions of the nobles in Eruin and the earl today?"
Luo Linte fell silent. He admired the Earl because of his illustrious martial arts prowess, as well as his incomparable strength and legendary personal experience, which all made the young people of this era excited. But more importantly
The important thing is that he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of the Cruz people, which fully fits the image of a hero in the minds of this generation of young people in Eruin.
But no one is perfect, and the same is true for heroes. The legendary rise of the earl is due to his good luck in the black forest. This is understandable, but there is a sense of mystery determined by destiny. Perhaps it was Lord Martha who brought this
The hero was sent to Eruin to save this ancient and sunken kingdom. It was a feeling of destiny, which was more in line with the aesthetics of the nobles.
But here today, it overturned all his previous views. A local businessman personally calculated an account for them. It was Sarnan's income within a quarter and the investment in maintaining the fire. They were two equally unimaginable sums.
astronomical figures.
This is an incredible plan in the eyes of the nobles. In their view, the vast majority of the wealth that the earl managed to grab from the Black Forest has been reinvested in the maintenance of the territory. This is simply a plan.
Ridiculous arithmetic problems.
But in fact, Luo Linte saw that the towns scattered in the black forest were taking root in the forest step by step. They were like sprouting towering trees, absorbing nutrients from the land and feeding them back.
land, and one day, this place will become Eruin’s own land.
The slimmest hope in the darkness since the pioneering era, but it is so real here.
At that moment, Luo Linte truly felt a huge sense of mission that breathed a common future and destiny. It was a long-term vision that made the soul tremble. It would last decades, even hundreds of years, a generation, or even
It took generations of hard work to accomplish all this.
A long-term arrangement for the future of the kingdom, and even the future of the world of civilization and order. It is only a small step for Tony Geer, but it seems to have opened a door to a vast world for people: the Eruin people are in a small world.
The internal strife in the land, and even the various conflicts in Warnd, all look extremely ridiculous behind this door.
Luolint seemed to have gotten to know Hainfu again: "Hainfu, I didn't expect that you actually care about this."
"It's not profound, it's just that some people block their ears and close their eyes and don't want to understand." Hainf replied while drawing a stretching ridge on the paper with charcoal.
"Since you have seen all this," Luo Linte replied solemnly: "I believe you must also have the intention to change it, and this is exactly what we are doing. After the Earl left, the various actions of Her Royal Highness the Princess have nothing to do with it.
One is not eroding the most powerful force within this kingdom. If Tonigel collapses because of this, everything we see in this black forest will one day come to nothing."
He paused: "If you are still worried about what happened before, I can apologize to you for this, Hainfu, I think we have the same goals, why don't you join the Royal Party with me?"
Hainfu turned around, looked at him jokingly, and said: "Do you really think that the Royal Party can change Eruin, Rollint? The Royal Party just hopes to change Eruin back to the Eruin he was in the past.
, they indulged in the so-called ZTE period before the Frost Rebellion era, the co-governance of the royal family and the nobles, but how much did Eruin change in that so-called best era?"
"There has been no change," Hainf 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 such outstanding swordsmen as Darus and Tulaman.
characters, but in fact, the so-called ZTE only rises and falls because of people."
"Rolint, the same is true today. In an Eruin divided by nobles, Tony Geer's miracle will really only be a flash in the pan. The lessons of Lord Tullaman and Lord Darus have been deliberately manipulated by some people.
ignored."
"Absurd, nonsense." The young man frowned, but struggled in his heart. There seemed to be a voice in his mind telling him that Hainf's words were right, but everything he had heard and heard since he was a child, his class, his
His family and background made him also have a good impression of the aristocratic Eruin.
"You know very well, Luo Linte, that the earl has already given us the answer."
