Seluvinia had investigated her own life experience. Her biological parents seemed to be the descendants of a declining noble. Due to her illness, they eventually took her to a church that specialized in adopting orphans, and they stayed with her until her death.
beside her.
After that, Selvinia was adopted by the servants of the Cheryl family...
The Cheryl family's training of beautiful concubines for the emperor of the Esilans Empire was actually a 'project'. It was a large-scale project approved by the emperor of the Esilans Empire and spent a lot of money to build it.
The Cheryl family was the first to propose, and then received the high recognition, appreciation, and permission of the Emperor of Aisilance, and granted the Cheryl family rights and funds, allowing them to spread their influence everywhere.
At that time, the Cheryl family adopted countless little girls from all over the world. They all gathered in the 'Secret Garden' of the Principality of Cheryl to receive systematic, thorough and detailed training and education. They were the most beautiful, the best, and had the best grades.
The most perfect person will become the adopted daughter of the Cheryl family.
Others are used as 'gifts' to please the powerful, or to enjoy for oneself...
Because of this, when Seluvinia learned that a neighboring country had invaded her territory and her adoptive father and mother had been killed, instead of feeling too much sadness, she felt as if a burden had been lifted, as if she had been relieved.
"Were they all killed in their own territory?" After Zhou Xingyun heard Seluvinia's words, he immediately concluded that the Cheryl family was not a good thing.
Although they were kind to Seluvinia, from their mercenary behavior, it can be concluded that these guys are really not good people.
Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but feel confused, how could such a group of nobles who were not from the East and West be killed in their own territory?
In other words, when the nobles stationed in the border territories discovered that soldiers from neighboring countries were coming, how could they stay in their territories?
Under normal circumstances, if a man who is greedy for life or afraid of death, when he learns that the enemy soldiers are invading, shouldn't he flee immediately?
"Because the secret garden where the Cheryl family cultivates concubines for the emperor is located in the border territory of the Cheryl Principality. Back then, I was just their pre-selected and tentative adopted daughter. If my appearance changes with age, I will not meet the requirements.
Their definition of beauty is flawed, or a girl better than me is born in the secret garden, and they can replace me at any time."
Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart as he listened to Seluvinia's statement, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
In other words, after Zhou Xingyun heard about the bad things done by the Cheryl family, he couldn't help but think of Han Qiumiao.
In order to choose a concubine for Han Feng, Xiao Qiuqiu seemed to have done such a shameless thing, letting Yushu Zifang's animals go around to spread the beauties in the world, and created a Chuxiu Palace of a first-class academy.
Do all the imperial families like to play this trick?
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. It is natural for the emperor to have a draft. If Zhou Xingyun wants to be the emperor, he would like to have a draft every day and live a life of dreams and dreams from then on.
But coming back to it, it seems that Xiao Qiuqiu also did the bad things that Cheryl's family did...
Okay. Zhou Xingyun takes back his statement that the Cheryl family is not a good thing, otherwise it would not be good to insinuate Xiao Qiuqiu.
After all, regardless of the Cheryl family or Xiao Qiuqiu, all they do is make wedding dresses for others.
The soft-spoken and weak-handed people, Zhou Xingyun told the truth with his conscience, whether it is a maid from a first-class academy or a perfect little Saisai, it is really great!
The border territories of the Principality of Cheryl were invaded, and everyone was so anxious that they were blowing their beards and staring. It turned out that they were worried that the beauties cultivated by the Cheryl family would fall into the hands of thieves.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the little Saisai was very strong and could stabilize the situation on its own and resist the invasion of neighboring countries.
Unfortunately, little Saisai had already sworn loyalty to him. Although the beauty that the old emperor had been obsessed with had not fallen into the hands of the thieves, she had disappeared and became the woman of his Zhou family.
Zhou Xingyun nodded vigorously. Although he was not interested in what the Cheryl family did, the final result was good, at least for him...
After nightfall, Kane and others returned to Tata Village in a state of despair and confusion.
Just as Zhou Xingyun guessed, the situation of the other border villages in the Principality of Cheryl is the same as that of Tata Village.
Wherever the Alat band of thieves went, there was no vegetation, and they left no one alive. The residents of the border villages of the Principality of Cheryl were all massacred, and all their belongings were looted.
Kane, Andy and other survivors were all deeply affected by the sudden disaster, which changed their humanity and their view of the world.
No one thought that the small town where everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment would be so fragile that it would disappear in half a day.
Not only the villages and towns disappeared, but also their parents and relatives.
Tonight was both a sleepless night and a silent night. Edward asked everyone to rest in the orchard of Tata Village.
The sound of children crying could be heard from time to time, which highlighted the silence of the night and was even a bit eerie.
Kane, Hisoka, Andy and other relatively sensible young guys sat somewhere without saying a word.
They didn't make any noise, just sitting there quietly.
However, they looked calm on the surface, sitting hugging each other's knees, but they kept clenching their fists and gritting their teeth. Their eyes were filled with red threads, and they were filled with anger and hatred.
The tragic experience has distorted their humanity. The young men who were still sunny this morning seem to have died. Now they will transform into ghosts and give the Arat bandits the most violent revenge.
The occasional cries of children in the night became the only remaining sanity and conscience for Andy and others.
If it weren't for protecting the children in the villages and towns, Kane, Andy and others would have been furious and chasing the Arat bandits.
Even if they know they will die, they will still look for the enemy who killed their father and mother. Even if they cannot die together with the enemy, they will still want to eat a piece of the enemy's flesh.
At this time, they all followed Edward's command and sat quietly aside, just to protect the surviving children.
As an outsider, Zhou Xingyun couldn't bear to help Andy and others.
There is an old saying in the Eastern Continent that a gentleman is never too late to take revenge. I hope Andy and others will not act recklessly and end up in vain.
If you want to seek revenge from the Alat Bandits, you must first make yourself stronger. Only by making yourself stronger can you give your enemies the cruelest punishment.
When will retribution happen? This nonsense does not apply to beasts that have lost their humanity.
A silent night passed, and early the next morning, Edward convened everyone to discuss the next course of action. Edward clearly told Andy and others that although he knew that everyone was in a very low mood, their situation was not optimistic, and he hoped that everyone could
Keep your spirits up to get through the hard times.
Edward wanted to convene everyone to talk last night, but unfortunately Kane and others came back late, and the sad atmosphere at that time was indeed not suitable for discussing business matters. Therefore, Edward could only wait until this morning, when everyone woke up and their emotions stabilized a little.
Expand the topic again.
Currently they face three problems, one is food, the other is enemies, and the third is shelter.
Edward was certain that the information about their group had been passed on to the Alat Bandits.
Yesterday, the bandit leader led more than 50 bandits to the arena to look for them. In the end, more than 30 people escaped.
The thieves will definitely inform the top brass of the Alat Bandit Group about the news here, and the other party will most likely send people to hunt them down and surround them.
Therefore, Edward felt that they could not stay here and must find a relatively safe place to hide.
To be honest, although Edward did not know exactly how many people there were in the Alat Bandit, according to the fact that they were divided into multiple groups and invaded several border villages in one go, it can be seen that the scale of the Alat Bandit was very large.
There are more than 200 people in their group. If they run into the troops of the Alat Bandit again, they will definitely die.
Furthermore, the food, clothing, housing and transportation for more than 200 people is also a big problem.
Yesterday, everyone was in a sad atmosphere, so they had no appetite, and they didn't feel hungry all day long.
However, people are as good as rice. Boys and girls who have not eaten all the time will always feel hungry.
Thanks to the foresight of Zhou Xingyun and others, they went out hunting yesterday afternoon and brought back some game. Everyone has meat to eat this morning, so they can eat half full for the time being...
But what should we do in the future?
Also, the village where everyone lives has been destroyed. Where will they stay in the future? Or, they must find a safe place to stay. Otherwise, once they are caught by the Alat Bandits, they will only die.
To sum up, Edward had to summon Andy and others to discuss the policy. Although they were still young and inexperienced guys, in the current crisis-ridden situation, Edward could only let them carry the weight.
"We can only seek refuge from the lord." Kane said very frustrated. He thought about it all night last night, what he could do to avenge his parents and kill all the evildoers of the Alat Bandit.
After thinking and thinking and worrying all night, he came to the conclusion that he did not have the strength to take revenge.
Now, the only way for their group to survive is to go to the lord's castle and seek asylum from the border lord.
Fortunately, the lord's castle is nearby. As long as they don't encounter any bandits on the way, they can reach it in half a day's walk.
Therefore, when Kane heard Edward talk about food and shelter, he felt disapproving in his heart, thinking that as long as he asked the lord for help, the lord would definitely make arrangements for them.
After all, they are all residents of the border village and the subjects of the lord.
"Fort Mayba has fallen." Edward said very worriedly: "The current situation in the Principality of Cheryl may be on the verge of national destruction."
Edward's heart was very heavy. When everyone was resting last night, he entrusted Zhou Xingyun and his party to keep watch for him while he rode the horses captured from the bandits and rushed to the lord's castle.
