Seeing this, John has already understood that whether they are investigating the Van der Linde gang or entering the forest to track down clues and evidence, these gangsters from the east don't tell the truth. Everything is just an excuse to fool Rem Town and the three western states.
The federal government sent this team with only one purpose, and that was to find the so-called "dimensional passage" that Fandral mentioned just now.
Perhaps ordinary people in this era would not have any special reaction after hearing this phrase, but John, who was influenced by his previous life, games, and movies, immediately understood the value of the so-called plane channel.
If he guessed correctly, a passage that could connect to other worlds in other planes would be of great value to an existence like the federal government. If he didn't understand it, he would be a fool!
"What if the Hessenser family can control such a dimensional passage? Then it may be possible to obtain countless new resources. Not to mention gaining a dominant position in the Federation, it is not impossible to recreate a kingdom and become its own king."
After John came to this conclusion, the first thought in his mind was to inform his family, because only in this way could he obtain the greatest benefits. It would be impossible to open up a world's resources by himself alone.
It’s just that John discovered that except for himself and Mark, two outsiders who accidentally got involved, people from several other parties seemed to know the existence and specific value of the plane channel. The information asymmetry was more troublesome.
Intelligence is often one of the most important factors that affect the outcome of a war, and this is also the case now.
So John knew that he should find a way to obtain more accurate information. He glanced at the young man who looked like he was only in his early twenties and could transform into a wolf.
"Mr. Joe Van Der Lin? Are you from the Holy Empire?"
Faced with John's polite question, this seemingly upright young man answered without any doubt.
"Yes, my family's ancestral home is in Friesland."
That’s it!
John was secretly surprised, because the Friesland region is located in the northwest of the old land of the Kingdom of Emsdan. It is a piece of land in the north of the Holy Empire facing the North Sea. And part of the northwest part of the Kingdom of Emsdan belongs to West Friesland.
Although the language is different from that of Emsdan, they do belong to the same lowlanders among the Zemans in terms of ethnicity. Similarly, the Frisians live in the same swampy terrain as Emsdan.
"That's a coincidence. I am John Walker from the Heisenser family in Emmsten."
John performed a common aristocratic ceremony under the Holy Empire system.
The young man named Joe Vanderlin also hurriedly returned the aristocratic gift.
Then he said apologetically:
"Sorry, I've been away from my ancestral home for so long that I have forgotten the etiquette of being a noble!"
John shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. In this land of the White Eagle Federation that has lost its ancient etiquette, there are nouveau riche and barbarians everywhere. Only us nobles in trouble can use such etiquette."
This is when Joe Van Der Lin also remembered the origin of the Hessenser family, and couldn't help but said with some surprise:
"It turns out that Mr. Walker, you come from the great Lowland Crown family. I apologize for my rudeness again!"
Because the Emsdan area is lower than other areas of the Holy Empire and contains many swamps and lakes, it is also called a lowland area compared to the highlands to the east.
John said a little modestly: "I am just a retainer of the federal branch. The Delin family can be named Fan, so they should also be of noble origin. However, I never thought that the nobles of Friesland would be on the same level as Vanderlin on the federal wanted list.
Help make connections."
Joe Van Der Lin heard this and said helplessly:
"It's really shameful. It's not like those highland traitors in the northern part of the empire. Wolfsburg has annexed many territories in the northern part of the empire in recent years. Our Lord of the Delin family is also among them. He doesn't want to be loyal to the separatist of Wolfsburg, so in more than ten years,
We were expelled years ago and had to flee to the New Continent. Then the federal capitalists tried to buy the Delin family's heirlooms at a low price, but failed and slandered us as murderers, so things unfolded like this..."
Although Joe Vanderlin said it simply, John could hear a lot of bitterness and blood and tears in his words.
After traveling thousands of miles to the New Continent to seek life, he was reduced from a high-ranking noble to a wanted gangster. Obviously, this gap is not something ordinary people can bear.
The two federal agents over there watched the two lonely and decadent nobles reminiscing about their past glory from a distance, and couldn't help but feel disdain for them. However, due to the warning from the previous Fandral, they could only suppress their mocking words.
I couldn't help but feel very depressed.
Regarding the existence of Fandal, even senior senior agent Mike Coulson has not seen any record in the federal files. However, the director of their federal police department repeatedly warned or warned twice.
They are told not to get close to the main part of the Golden Leaf Forest during this mission. Obviously, this is a secret that is beyond the reach of their level, and it also means extreme danger.
Through this exchange, John and Joe have established the same camp, and have a general understanding of the so-called plane passage.
It is said that there is endless void outside the main world, and in the void there is a star realm of unknown size.
The starry sky that people look up to on the ground, apart from the Kingdom of God where the gods are in the starry sky, many of the stars are worlds of different dimensions, large and small.
This kind of world is called the astral plane.
Just like the starry sky in the past life, these planes will occasionally intersect with the main world like the movement of stars.
At that time, a plane passage will be randomly formed somewhere in the main world. In addition to being temporary, this kind of passage can also be fixed. As a living being in the main world, you can choose to enter the planet at this time.
In the realm plane.
At the same time, the creature will also be regarded as a tentacle or chess piece of the main world. All activities in the astral plane can more or less affect the fate of the astral plane, which will be brought back to the main world when the creature returns.
A certain degree of plane origin power, which is very helpful for promotion in the main world.
Therefore, every time the creatures of the main world enter the astral plane, they will be rewarded by the will of the main world, but this benefit is random and uncertain.
Then I saw Qiao continuing to say with a longing look on his face:
"According to the records of the clan, the first time the astral plane came to the world was in the dark Middle Ages. It was already more than a thousand years after the main world experienced the Twilight of the Gods and all mortals were hidden. However, because of the arrival of the astral plane, the main world has been shaken.
The laws of the world have changed, and the gods and ancient heroes have gradually revived in the world. Many of our ancestors have become strong men of their time, and can even compete with heroes and gods. This gave birth to the Renaissance movement and the religious revolution."
"About a hundred years ago, after the great King of Knights ascended to the starry sky, the gods reached a treaty with each other and stopped interfering in the material world. They communicated with the will of the main world and set the descent to the astral plane as a trial mission.
Completing the task of World Will Cloth in the astral plane will bring great benefits. Although not as great as those of the ancient predecessors, this kind of benefit can easily make an ordinary person become a mortal, making the mortal's strength even further.
.”
After listening to Qiao's words, John couldn't help but be shocked. This was the first time he learned about the secrets of this world. He didn't expect it to be so amazing.
What gods and ancient heroes are there? As soon as you hear them, you know that they are not at a high level that a pawn like him can access. For now, they can only be heard as legends.
Just when John was secretly surprised and was about to learn more about the mortal world from his new friend Joe, the mysterious figure Fandral who had been quietly closing his eyes and concentrating over there suddenly opened his eyes, looked to the northwest, and burst into laughter.
Breathtaking divine light.
"coming!"
As he spoke, he stood up and waved to John and Joe.
"Everyone, come with me."
When Qiao heard this, he became excited and looked up to the sky and let out a wolf howl. Then two wolf howls sounded in the distance in response.
