Midsummer in the northern wilderness is not much cooler than in the south.
The clouds above the head are extremely thin, let alone rain, and it is difficult to even block the sun. There are not many plants around, and the scorching sun shines mercilessly on the dry and cracked earth, taking away the remaining traces of the soil.
A little moisture.
Jill was walking in this barren land. The scorching sun was shining directly on her head, and the temperature under her feet was enough to bake eggs, but she was still relaxed and at ease, as if she could not feel the burning heat around her at all.
But with her excellent eyesight, which can clearly see things thousands of meters away, she can't find any moving figures. In order to avoid the fate of being dried in the sun, most animals in the wilderness have developed the ability to stay in bed during the day and emerge at night.
Of course, the same goes for humans.
When she crossed the Sea of Storms and set foot on the continent called Aiur in 'the old days', the first place she visited was the country located in the wilderness of the North. However, the environment in the wasteland in front of her was worse than she remembered.
It's dangerous, and not to mention any country, there are not even a few tribes.
"That's right, it's nearly two hundred years too early." The black-haired woman shrugged and said to herself, "The establishment of the Violet Empire and the destruction of the Fritz people's kingdom will be the outcome of the next "war"
One of them."
A seemingly small tribe appeared at the end of her sight. In Jill's memory, that place should be Hammer City, one of the main industrial cities in the Violet Empire. Under the seemingly barren land, there are actually rich hidden things.
Iron ore and coal mines. It was precisely by exporting these high-quality ores that the original empire was able to have good relations with the Theocracy of Saint Leon. It relied on the other party's financial and human assistance to lay a foundation in the dangerous wasteland.
Of course, there is nothing there now.
The Sachi people, who are used to hunting for a living, never thought of what kind of wealth lay beneath their feet. If it weren't for the group of "pioneers" who left their hometown and fled to the North, perhaps this wilderness would still remain the same.
rather than the prosperous scene she had seen.
But it is conceivable how many difficulties and challenges the Oron Empire refugees will have to go through after their arduous journey to get here. Lack of water and food, conflicts with the local Sachi people, and inability to adapt to the environment.
It was enough to easily take the lives of children, the elderly, or the physically weak. According to the history she had read, by the time the Violet Empire was established, less than one-fifth of the original pioneers remained.
"Well, this is a rare opportunity. Besides investigating Bayard's mission, it would be nice to help them a little bit." Gil chuckled.
She is not a kind person with compassion. As a half-demon, Jill has understood since she was a child that only strength can determine her future. However, she does have a unique affection for the people she first met here.
"Now is not the time." The black-haired woman gently snapped her fingers, "Now that you are here, let's ask those Northland barbarians if they have heard of that guy Fimmel. By the way, there are also Lily's group.
News from people.”
…
"Miss An, the meal is ready."
The girl at the desk raised her head from several thick books, raised her hand to the young knight standing at the door, and motioned for him to wait a moment.
"I understand, then I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Please come down as soon as possible."
The girl sat upright and looked out the window at the slowly swaying treetops and the spots of light falling on the ground through the gaps in the leaves. This place is on the south side of the continent, but the coolness spreading from the northern forest and the cool breeze from the sea
The humid air makes the environment here quite comfortable - except for a little more rain.
She stood up and opened the window, letting the fresh air fill the room. At the same time, she mentally sorted out the news that the two of them had collected nearby during this period of time.
Although it sounds unbelievable, all the clues the two of them found point to the fact that this is the El continent in the 247th year of the Saint Leon calendar, or in other words, a full 210 years ago. "
"Mirror Realm" not only allowed everyone to leave that demiplane, but also took them across time.
Regarding this fact, unlike Elio who was panicking at the time, she was actually a little happy. Being able to personally return to a changing point in history and witness everything that was true of this era, even if she was unable to change anything, was an extremely precious experience.
In addition, the girl also felt a little guilty - she was not sure whether the two people's arrival in this era was related to her 'little thoughts' at the time; nor was she sure whether other people except her and Elio had the same feeling.
been affected.
Of course, if she knew what 'others', such as Jill and Ariel, thought, she probably wouldn't worry about this.
While worrying about these, Ann did not stop what she should do - record the history, environment and culture she saw before her, plus her own feelings. That was during this period of time, she kept writing
The contents in the notebook that I carry with me.
"We have arrived in the southeast of the Aiur continent, only a dozen kilometers away from the sea. Based on the surrounding environment, it is estimated that this should be the location of the Kingdom of Hulun.
At present, it is just a small town, inhabited by the Kamal people who left the Oron Empire a long time ago and went south to fish for a living. Sometimes they also use the corals and pearls they collected to interact with the Elna people in the northern forest.
, or merchants who came here from the Theocracy to exchange various daily necessities.
According to historical records, the Kingdom of Hulun was established in the 272nd year of the Saint Leon Calendar, which is still more than 20 years ago when I arrived. Regarding the founder of the Kingdom, some historians believe that the Kingdom was
Another part of the forces that broke away believed that they were a group of priests and bachelors who were disappointed with the Theocracy. At that time, the "Gray War" had just ended, and both the empire and the Theocracy were busy recuperating, giving the Kingdom of Hulun space for independence and development.
What I am curious about is whether these simple and hard-working fishermen can adapt to the changes in the next few decades, and how will they integrate into the new kingdom?
If I stay here all the time, I can witness and record all of this... But I think that is not realistic. If I came here because of my expectations, when my wish comes true, maybe I will wake up from the dream.
However, even if I can't go back to the original time, I can still continue my original dream. Travel across this continent, the wide ocean, and the more distant other side, and record everything I see. As for Andre...
Whether the name Saint Violet can survive and how members of the Violet family appeared two hundred years ago are left to the historians of later generations to have a headache."
In the quiet and warm afternoon, the girl looked at the handwriting she had written quietly, with a happy smile on her face, wondering what kind of good thing she had thought of.
"Ann - hurry up, if you don't come, the food will be cold!" Elio's angry voice came from downstairs, startling her slightly.
Well, in addition to her dream, Elio's ideal must also be fulfilled - Speaking of which, what is the young knight's ideal? Let's ask about it when we have time, the girl thought.
She quickly closed the book, placed it next to the pile of classics, and walked quickly downstairs.
