Shaman from Afar

The whistling wind swept through the endless mountains, holding up the eagle with its wings spread, flying from west to east under the endless dome with the cold wind at the end of the winter, from the most northwestern foggy court in the Sakran Empire, to the most Byrne in the South.

It flew through the ancient wooded forest that gradually recovered its vitality; it traversed Lotel after several years of rest and recuperation, and gradually recovered its vitality; it passed the reflection of the earth and allowed the caravan to lead the caravan to Ebden. The leader raised his eyes subconsciously, looking at the Jewel River passing by Qianfan.

Under the sun, with the reopening of the Jewel River route and the commercial road from the south, busy trade, noble flowers and wine, and a lot of urban reconstruction work, the former bleak Queen of the City once again shines.

The dilapidated ruins left by the battle of the maelstrom no longer exist, replaced by a brand new imperial capital; almost all the old imperial nobles of the old empire were destroyed when the maelstrom came down, and the new nobles who appeared with the rise of His Majesty Brandon became The new owner at the top of the pyramid.

Wizards, priests, knights, clerks, nobles, businessmen ... The rising nobles brought a whole new vitality to the empire, full of enthusiasm for His Majesty Brandon's "development plan", one after another, full of materials, scholars, The expeditions of warriors and merchants set off towards the Arctic Ice Sheet, the Centaur Margobi and even the Old Azores Kingdom.

Especially the old Azores Kingdom ... After the first fleet returned four years ago and announced the establishment of the first colony, rich resources, fertile land and various surprises, this land across the sea attracted In the eyes of all people in the empire, it has become a country full of treasures that everyone yearns for.

The giant dragon hovering in the sky dome, the Holy Cross Cathedral shining with golden light, made the eagle soaring in the wind have to choose to avoid it; bypassing the imperial capital, flying to the fertile and rich East Sacran.

As the cold wind receded, the sweaty East Sakran in the field did not look up at the sky; soldiers of the Icefield Pioneer Army looked forward to the shadow flying over their heads under the fortress of the Boundary Mountain, and advanced northward in the sound of the officer's order .

The big green sea of ​​Poi, which is swept by the wind, and the Poima backers who drove the horses and cattle and sheep, are bargaining with the livestock traders who came to Byrne; in the jungle of the Elmans in the mountains, hiding in the trees The hunted Ellerman shot the arrow that hit the male deer as the eagle shadow passed.

When the roaring wind became warm and pleasant, the air smelled of wine and flowers, and the joy of banquet and music echoed under the sky ... Even the eagle soaring in the sky knew that it had arrived at its destination.

Byrne, the home of knights and wine under the rule of Turin.

It has been ten years since the elven invasion and the glory in the battle of elves, which has fallen in the past ten years, has rebuilt her glory in ten years.

A large number of brave and warrior knight lords withered on the battlefield, which weakened the strength of the Principality of Byrne, but also greatly reduced the obstacles of the restraining forces; the Bayerns who were closely united around the Turin family, in Charlotte Turin Under the leadership of the United States launched a vigorous reform movement.

Internally, Charlotte completed a pile of mess left by Loren-the wide and vertical road, closely connecting the 13 tribes of Byrne; the Jodh Chamber of Commerce, which controls the treasury of the Principality, let all the trading activities allowed by the Duke be in Bai Unblocked within the borders of En.

Following the Sakran military system, gradually abolishing the inconvenient law of recruitment in the past and forming a standing knightly army directly under the Principality of Byrne; Weber, who was originally exiled by the Holy Cross Church and the emperor capital, also reached a settlement with the Sky Dome and formed a half An independent Bayern church that belongs only to the Bayern people.

The increase in wealth, lifestyle changes, and sacrifices during the war of elves have caused the wizards to rise in the status of Bayern; the original sphere of influence was limited to the wizarding guild of the Principality of Bayern and began to cooperate with the wizard tower to establish branches in the empire. Support the wizard apprentices who have completed their studies to find a suitable job in the local area.

Externally, Charlotte maintains the relationship with the Sky Dome and all parties through trade means-Poi's livestock trade, dwarf's ore trade, Arles' leather and food trade ... The huge demand makes Bain their most Important buyers, even for the sake of vitality, must maintain a good relationship with Byrne.

Resources, wealth, and military "little deterrence" allowed Charlotte to establish a very strong "Southern Alliance", giving Baine practical control over the southern empire up to the dwarf city-state.

The short-lived glory once created by the Black Duke once became solid in the hands of Charlotte Turin.

In the sky dome, the parliament that urgently needs to rebuild the imperial capital does not want to provoke this powerful southern principality too much. The colonial development of the former Azores kingdom to the west of the misty sea has given the sky dome a new source of wealth; this is in Brandon The route established under His Majesty's guidance also to a certain extent held back the majority of the Empire's attention.

Under some unspoken tacit agreement, Baine, who had nothing to do with this kind of thing, also mobilized a huge amount of material and financial resources to support the colonial and route development of the old Azores kingdom by the Sky Dome, which will come from the imperial capital The sight is minimized.

But such "obstructive eye method" is destined to be temporary; Brandon in the Sky Dome and Charlotte of the Red Blood Castle are well aware that the rise of the Turin family is inevitable, and De Salion also cannot tolerate the rise of the strong principality; A two-footed duel will come sooner or later, this is not the will of the two of them can be reversed.

All that can be done is to restore the vitality of the empire to the fullest extent, to open up more land, accumulate more wealth, and let more people fill up the land in sight, before the inevitable day comes. And the "new world" outside the sea, which may be able to avoid war.

"This is a summary of this quarter's financial report, Earl." The still thin principal financial director of the Principality, Little Yoder, is more and more like his father and has no interest in anything other than the ledger:

"Support for the opening of a new colony in the Royal Palace of the Heavenly Dome ... er, how to say ... Although it has driven the business of medicine and leather products in the territory, and allowed two thousand prisoners in prison to complete reemployment, but ... the expenditure is huge, The principality is already heavily in debt. "

"Then a new tax will be levied to fill the shortfall. As far as I know, Boye has made a lot of money in the livestock trade and appropriately raised taxes." Charlotte threw aside the parchment full of bills a little anxiously: Your Excellency, I should not remind you again, how important is the development of the new colony for the relationship between the Sky Dome and the Red Blood Fort? "

"This is nature, and only then can the rare peace be maintained now." Little Yoder nodded in response to the matter: "In addition ... my father, Old Yode, has passed away, and now you just call me Yode."

"No problem, little Yode." The proud Countess of the Red Blood Castle, the corners of her mouth curled up elegantly: "Is there anything else?"

"The Wizarding Guild, Lord Isaac Grantham."

Little Yoder rolled his eyes helplessly: "Recently, he has made new discoveries in his research, and he needs an expense to prepare research equipment."

Charlotte nodded: "So ..."

"We have owed a lot of money, Count, you can't owe it anymore." Little Yode said blankly.

Lightly forehead, Charlotte sighed tiredly, quite helpless.

"You don't need to ask about this, I will be directly responsible-if Isaac is in trouble, let him come directly to me."

"Observe, Earl."

The expressionless little Yodd was skillfully packing up the ledgers on the table: "Please allow me to retreat first."

The light footsteps faded away gradually, and the round table hall became silent again.

Glenwell, the Principality of the Principality who did not say a word from beginning to end, silently placed a slab with a nine-pointed star in front of Charlotte.

"this is……"

"Yesterday evening, several wizard apprentices found in the Rock Castle were found in the ruins of the old castle, and they were sent to the Red Blood Castle overnight." Glenwell calmly said:

"They claimed that there was absolutely no such thing before, and the wizarding firm would estimate that it appeared at least hundreds of years ago based on the residue of the void reaction on the slate, and the most likely thing is ..."

"At the beginning of the birth of the Bain, the era when the Bain rebelled against the dwarf rule!" Charlotte blurted out.

Glenwell gave a slight pause and took two steps backward without a sound.

"This ..." Gazing at the old slate on the table, Charlotte muttered to himself:

"It was only found last night, that is to say, Loren and Ain now ... are assisting the ancestors of Turin and Byrne against the attacks from dwarves in the rock fortress hundreds of years ago?

"If that's the case ..." Glenwell bowed his head slightly: "Duke Loren ... maybe too late to return as scheduled to accompany you through this summer."

Charlotte leaned weakly on the back of the chair, and his crystal eyes lost their charm.

But this silence lasted only a moment, and soon recovered the sober Charlotte's gaze and swept behind him: "Where is Roland?"

"Count, you ..."

"I am talking about the heir to the direct blood of the Turin family, the Lord of the 13 Lords of Byrne, the son of Loren Turin, my son ... Roland Turin." As the voice became heavier, Charlotte ’s His eyes became colder:

"Where is he now?"

Glenwell's dazzling eyes immediately had a black hair and black eyes in his mind, but the smart and clever like to add trouble to the little figure.

Of course, "adding trouble" is a very polite statement. It should be said that the little master has evolved into a major scourge of the Red Blood Castle in the past year.

Glenwell understood the idea of ​​the countess to train her children to be qualified rulers, but Roland did not think so-at least compared to official documents, government affairs and etiquette, he was more passionate about mantras, hunting and chaos.

Facing the faceless countess, Grenville, who had headaches, could only tell the truth:

"Master Roland, he is in ... Broken Sword Hall."

Charlotte's expression changed slightly.

……………………

Red Blood Palace, Broken Sword Hall.

Gently opened the door, and Charlotte, who was in a complicated mood, stepped into this big and small hall.

There is nothing special in the room itself, the simple decoration is dwarfed by the other rooms in the palace; the only special thing is that it is placed in the deepest part of the room, directly under the wall of the door, and the handle is broken into two pieces of mysterious silver. sword.

Dawn.

Looked at the broken sword, Charlotte's eyes were a little confused.

She still remembers that when Loren came back and gave Broken Sword to herself, she had done the wrong thing, regretted and afraid of being angry and angry, her hands were behind her back, and the cold sweat wet her collar.

He didn't know that he could see him coming back alive, and he was so excited that he was standing there like a puppet clay sculpture, and let him perform with regret and self-blame.

So when he proposed to restore the sword, Charlotte refused.

Although it is said that this symbolizes a glory, let the world especially the descendants of the Turin family remember, the Turin family of the Red Blood Castle, the Duke of Byrne once saved the world;

But Charlotte knew very well that what she wanted was for Loren to remember this forever-even if it was not for Bain, the Turin family and even themselves, even if it was just for this little self-blame, guilt, to come back .

"If you can come back ..."

Looking at the broken sword, Charlotte muttered to himself: "You big liar, full of lies, always like the wicked wicked ... if you can really know how much pressure I bear ..."

"I know."

The light and fluttering discourse sounded like a hallucination, but the countess shuddered.

That's ... that voice ... from behind ...

"Impossible." With wide-eyed eyes, Charlotte desperately suppressed his impulse to look back: "You ... Lorren ... you are, you should still be ..."

"Shanyanbao." The voice laughed:

"Yes, I saw the first Turin, or the father of the future cavalier king; there was a little surprise ... I thought he was quite a decisive guy. I never thought he was a very gentle man. "

"That's nature ... The ancestor of the Turin family is definitely ten thousand times stronger than someone who always makes people worry!"

Charlotte, who gritted his teeth, pressed his hands in front of him, his shoulders trembling slightly:

"What about Ain?"

"With Roland, they are very compatible, or Ain and anyone can get together, uh ... I am different."

"You still know!"

"Of course I know that Roland is a very smart kid."

"He is a bastard!"

"How can I say that? He is just too young, and every child must have a carefree time."

"Don't take your shamelessness and downline to measure the future Duke of Byrne and Knight King!"

"So I said, Charlotte, you are too restrained, don't put too much burden on yourself."

"Isn't it because some **** is irresponsible ?!"

"Then you think this irresponsible **** ~ www.readwn.com ~ Forgot to promise to come back to see you?"

"What can't you **** do?"

Clenched his hands, Charlotte, with his teeth clenched, looked at the ground.

The quiet hall can even hear her heartbeat.

"Why not turn around?" The voice asked with a smile.

"I……"

"Are you worried that I will disappear, all this is just your own illusion?"

"How is it possible?" Charlotte denied.

"why?"

"Because ... because ..." Charlotte blushed and stomped in self-abuse: "Okay, you won! You're right, I'm just worried that all this is just an illusion, worrying that you are just ..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

The flustered Charlotte felt the temperature coming from behind his neck, his trembling hands held tightly.

The dark-haired wizard standing behind her, with a smile in the corner of her eyes:

"Is it an illusion, you can confirm it by yourself?"
