The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich Chapter 136: Return and meet
"Fresh vegetables and fruits are cheap."
"Hey, the one over there, the one that looks very strong, our engineering team is short of staff, and we have a good deal of food and treatment, so we can't come."
"Hey, freshly baked bread, buy one get one free. Which knight Brother, the knights are half price. Would you like one? Okay, two copper coins."
"Tam? Your family is back! Great, just come back, just come back! Don't plan to leave again this time?"
Walking in East Mist City, I saw the busy crowd, the flow of people coming and going from the convoy, and the construction sites under construction everywhere, the corner of my mouth could not help but smile from my heart.
Rome was not built in one day. Even if a large amount of capital is invested without return, the current urban reconstruction project is still on the cleanup of the old city. The supply of materials has only slightly improved the living standards of the people. The improvement of living standards is not great, but what makes me happy is the national mentality that already has gradually improved.
East Mist Communal Country traveled all the way north. After seeing all kinds of misery and misfortune, my mood became worse and worse.
After encountering misfortune, people always have a bitter look on their faces, and their eyes are more distressing and numb. I know that when a person has no expectations for the future, when he is convinced that the days will only increase. When it gets worse, no matter how strong the person is, the mental outlook will still get worse and worse, and even his own future will not be affected. Naturally, he will become more and more indifferent to others.
Why? Probably it is just a disaster-stricken country, and it will encounter a new catastrophe.
Lan country fell that year and they did not fall. For nearly a century after losing their homeland. They are not discrete. Two hundred years ago, East Mist was gradually eroded by the war of the neighbors. They still insisted. They lost their last mine to survive more than two decades ago. They were still struggling. One year ago, after the old emperor died in battle. They spared their lives to follow the fourteen-year-old Princess desperate charge and achieved a miraculous victory.
They are not the superman of steel Willpower, they are just mortals who care about their native land. Perhaps this deserted northern land is just a useless barren land in the eyes of outsiders, but for those who live here for generations, this piece The land is left with too much nostalgia and perseverance.
Foreigners can't understand the nostalgia of these northerners for their homeland. Maybe they are as strong as this northern glacier, just because root here, the stubborn souls of the northerners are expecting to stick to the homeland created by previous ancestors .
"As long as we are still hungry. But the flag has not fallen, we can grit our teeth and survive."
But not long ago. They finally couldn't stand it. In the year from the death of the old emperor to the return of Reyne with supplies, many people finally left helplessly.
I know that this doesn't blame them, nor do they break their vows.
Lan people are never afraid of sacrifice and war, they are only afraid of not seeing the future.
When the shadow of war fades, devastated farmland and villages become desperate, winter is approaching, and the wolves look around, but there is no winter rice in the family. When familiar neighbors starve to death or freeze to death on the streets Now, when the life-saving food for this winter has not yet landed, even those who are optimistic will consider their own future.
"It doesn't matter if I kill my life, but my child, he's not at all wrong."
No one can watch their children starve to death. The people of Lan who left ca n’t be blamed at all. Even if they know that they are going to leave, they will never be able to return, and most of them will die on a dangerous road. Still can only choose to leave in three steps.
What is crueler and ironic is the departure of these people. Instead, the scarce relief food has played a greater role. Last winter, it was the least dead in these years.
This cruel reality cannot blame anyone. If you are looking for a gangster, I am afraid it can only be the King of Mist room that does not have a good guardianship. If it is to be derived again, it may be added to the hidden danger that year. Of my generation.
So, even if already guessed that Auland was mostly bad intentions, the Reyne, the last descendant of Arashi, did not even hold the ceremony of ascending the throne, and still embarked on a journey. After all, doing nothing is tantamount to death. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can fight for it.
It should be said that there is no way to be invincible ... If I return to the surface again in the evening, I am afraid that already will not have East Mist Communal Country. If it is not for the aggressiveness of Auland Empire, it will not be possible to encounter Reyne.
At this time, many things have changed after the lively and noisy returning day festival the day before, at least, the original people's eyes are blank, and they have more expectations for a better future.
"Did you see? The old town already in the west of the city is converted into a barracks group, which is His Royal Highness Roland."
"I was the first one to arrive at the recruitment site, but it was a pity that I was a little bit less qualified.
"Blow it, who knows that although already began to recruit many legions and war groups, the threshold is actually very high. The first level is a physical fitness test. You can carry several sandbags, thin and monkey-like The first level has been brushed down, is it almost blowing? "
"I know so well, don't you also ..."
"I have at least reached the third round! I do n’t intend to give up, as long as there are legions, try again. It ’s not possible. It ’s okay to be a soldier in the city defense! Yes, there are Church of Law, they also recruit people. It is said that they will also teach combat skills. "
It was clearly brushed down, but the strong man Aiken was proudly showing off, and the crowd around him also exclaimed, as if he saw something amazing.
The country is weak and the people are dangerous. The people in the weak country are low and no one knows this truth better than the tortured Lan people. Even after establishing the God of Law Church as the state religion, in a sense, East Mist has become a permanent neutral country, but Everyone can understand the harsh reality. The Beastfolk in the north may go south at any time. The neighbors around you are eager to move. If you do n’t hit others, others will come to hit you.
In a world dominated by weak meat and strong food, if you want to achieve true neutrality, you must have a powerful force to maintain independence and neutrality in chaos.
Every army formation now will be a reason for all people to rejoice, after all. This shows that the soldiers protecting themselves are more powerful. This country is also becoming stronger. At the same time, these new corps can also give young people sufficient development opportunities.
Avalanche defenders, long wind knights, legendary names and professions have jumped out of history. Those heroic deeds of Legend are attracting every young man. They also look forward to making history with their own hands.
Although it was very active in the past, it can only be said to be a stutter, but now it is under the premise of protecting the home and protecting the country. Looking for a future, the enthusiasm of the two cannot be compared at all.
When the people take pride in joining the army, it is enough to prove their confidence in this country. Of course, this is the confidence in me, the legendary Holy Knight prince Roland.
This is not the most pleasant and most impressive. I am afraid that the people who left Lan originally started to return to their home countries.
And when the news of the Legend Prince Roland returning with his legion spread, when his homeland regained its vitality, even the situation was still unclear. Lan Zhimin still chooses to return. Every day, teams and individuals return to their homes.
The already outside the city gate is packed with various carriages and travelers waiting to enter the city. The streets were full of hard-working but happy returnees, "Are you all okay, I'm finally back." "Returned? Just come back, just come back." The response sounded one after another, the return journey. Those who are full of curiosity about every change, pointing to the flag of the Legion are not a few, and it is not uncommon to catch acquaintances and ask them in the end.
This is just the beginning. It ’s just time to return to immigrants from neighboring countries who have n’t traveled far away. As the news spreads, I am afraid that the people of Lan who have left this country for the past 20 to 30 years will consider whether to return and follow The banner of the battle of Lan was raised again, and the people of already who were separated and far away would be reunited again.
And not far from me, a group of travelers who have just returned. Some people wear thick cotton hats, and some people wear lightweight feather hats. From their completely different clothes, apparently they have returned from different countries. .
At first, it was probably just the people who just came home to talk about their feelings in a foreign land. In the end, it became a complaint meeting.
"... Even if you have n’t encountered any beasts and robbers, and have completed long-distance migration, you are not forced to leave your hometown. You live a completely unaccustomed life in a strange language in a different place. How do you feel? The kind of local people always stare at you with the eyes of thieves and savages. Is that how you feel? It ’s the kind of isolation that opens your eyes and looks at all the foreigners and foreign languages. , Sometimes it's really daunting and makes people feel like trying to commit suicide. "
That's a young man, but the black eyes and frustrated face, the already's calloused hands and rough skin look, but it looks like an old man in forty or fifty. He had a sense of oldness that was clearly beyond his age.
"When foreign accents are being discriminated against or bullied, they dare not even argue based on reason. Who can realize the kind of extreme annoyance. In the heavy life, spend the lonely night of the homeland festival alone, I miss my hometown and my family and friends, and I ca n’t sleep at night. The kind of feeling of being torn apart in the ups and downs can be felt by anyone. As long as you show it, it is more obvious.
The middle-aged man who is the most powerful and should be able to fight is the same. He said, thinking of those past events, he snapped the wooden table with a wine glass.
"I finally made new friends, and said a word" East Mist "when I was chatting? Oh, I know, that is the barbarian tribe that is about to destroy the country. Are you the legendary savage Princess? ', The people next to each other laughed, and in order not to be isolated, they had to fight desperately with each other, but they only tried to make fun of them, pretending not to care. Too embarrassed, too uncomfortable! "
The girl who said so was indignant said the same thing. From the look of anger, she seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances.
After complaining, everyone suffered a lot of inexplicable silence, but after looking for silence, I don't know who took the lead in raising the glass and facing the west, where the direction of the military camp was.
"Thank Your Highness Princess who has held up this banner for so many years ... at least, we are back, there is a place for us to come back under that banner. So please be happy, for the sake of our future Life, toast. "
Even though the burden of life already crushed his waist, the young man's heart has not died, and he still looks forward to a better tomorrow.
"Thank Your Highness Roland for returning. We have given us a reason to return. No matter what happens, at least I can die in the ancestral land. Probably. We just need a reason to return home."
Middle-aged people are more realistic. But the kind of consciousness that can be sacrificed. It makes people feel extra heavy and sad.
"Thanks ... '
The words of gratitude are clearly spoken, but the toast is more and more sad, so some people can't stand it anymore.
"Hey, do n’t say it ’s like going to the execution ground right away. You did n’t see the return day ceremony. The High Legion of Roland is very powerful. Those undead knights are all elite soldiers for more than 300 years. The Heroic Spirit of our country of Arashi! Building a new army with them as the core will be invincible. Our country will only become stronger and stronger, and our lives will only get better and better. "
The Aiken who suddenly intervened, not just Correct, was still bragging about how he passed, but was unfortunately unsuccessful. At this time, he came forward.
"You guys, think too much. Oh, you don't know, how powerful our new guardian is. Then the Bone Dragon of the Dragon Knight is so huge, bigger than the city wall. Do you know who it is? He But the last Dragon Knight in our country and the subordinate knights of His Highness Roland are so powerful, he himself ... "
Aiken is proud of the celebration and appearance of the return day. He is more proud than his own glory. Various rumors are mixed with real information. Various Legend stories are crowned and worn. It won't be long before I turn into them. A demigod monster with a nine-foot waist and nine-headed wings that can spit fire.
The returning travellers are already curious about what happened these days, and even if Aiken's words have obvious offensive bragging and nonsense, they still listen more and more vigorously.
With the continuous questioning of the audience, Aiken said more and more vigorously. When he said too much, someone else intervened to correct it. You say, I say, the atmosphere in the tavern is getting hotter.
"You guys said! How difficult is this opportunity, so many ace knights set up their own legions, which are all taught by hand. You do n’t know when the test, the noble masters of the country came, but the same Was brushed down. I Aiken, in fact, every time it is a little worse, maybe as long as you pass this level, you can also become a knight under Roland. That will not only be my personal glory, but also my Eddie The glory of several generations of Sri Lanka, if I can hear the news, I am afraid the dead dad will be happy to get up! "
"Go, I've lost so many times, and I still have a face. I don't think you can count on that. Go to the city defense army and be a big soldier."
"Hum, wait and see, I will not end without a knight! When I finish this cup, I will try it in the newly formed Silver Cross, do you dare to follow me?"
"What dare not! Go together!"
Okay, these guys are talking with red ears and red ears. They are getting more and more excited, dancing and dancing, they just rushed out on the spot to sign up for the test.
"... Silver Cross needs to learn to use elemental power. This is less than Intelligence, it is absolutely impossible to pass."
The Silver Cross, which is the Magic Sword and the Magic Gun Regiment that Fendak and Lannie are preparing to build. After my Silver Sword Regiment was dismissed ruthlessly by everyone, the long sword and staff cross representing the magic martial arts The cross emblem became the origin of the name of the war group.
I already knew the selection criteria of the war group. Looking at the strong man Aiken who was still bragging about the crowd, he shook his head. While not optimistic about his ability to be selected, he smiled and stayed on the table. Put three copper coins, ready to check out and leave.
"Aiken? Let's write it down, at least it's very neat, but you can ask Kelly for the lack of publicity talent."
At this time, I swam freely without worrying about being recognized.
"Uncle, there are only two copper coins in a glass of fruit wine."
"Tip your tip, I'm happy today."
Yes, the teenage brother actually called me Brother, but it's because of my appearance at the moment that he really looks like a middle-aged uncle.
The time-distorting ring that changes appearance and age is the best camouflage, just change the age, put on a wig and a fake beard, I do n’t believe anyone will associate a middle-aged knight with a beard scum and the Roland Prince .
Of course I'm happy. How can the lovely Lan people in front of me make people unhappy?
Walking in the street, although it is not my Quest to observe the people's feelings, but the prosperous and positive spirit of the people in front of me makes me feel more confident.
Even if the standard of living is still hard, even if the future is likely to face war, as long as the people believe that the future is good. This country will get better. Well. No matter how hard life can be, I can face it with a smile. As long as they trust me, I can take them out of the quagmire with confidence.
"Well, by the way, a private visit by Weifu, definitely not to escape the endless paperwork, administrative work, **** it, legion logistics, farming next year let me see, intend to exhaust me?"
Calculate time. Now the palace should find me sloppy, remembering that Kelly, which often gives people surprises, is probably mostly doing endless business for me.
Considering that Kelly is full of resentment and buried in a sea of bitterness, most of them will take the initiative to find some fun. I am considering the possibility of not returning tonight.
“Well, I ’m not a shopkeeper, but I trust the subordinates to take the initiative to delegate power. Just go back and say that ........ for safety, let ’s bring some dessert to coax, I remember there ’s a home nearby Good cake shop. "
Considering that Kelly's lifeless nature, I think it's better to buy her a little. According to past records, she should like to eat sweets.
But then. When I was looking for a cake shop, I saw one first. Of course, the mood was not bad, and of course there was no such thing. Looking at the sign in front of me, I didn't know what to say.
[The absolute Gentleman Alliance mercenary regiment under Roland is recruiting. Do you want to serve Roland? Want to be a priority candidate for the Royal Knights? Welcome to Gentleman Alliance! We are the subordinates of His Highness's most trusted subordinates, and we can talk directly with His Highness! 】
Okay, the mercenary regiment that was established at the time was not well managed by Difende, and once I quit management, it naturally took over as the deputy regiment's Beifeng. Look at the three floors. The situation of the mercenary headquarters and people coming and going, obviously this inexplicable organization already has been strengthened!
As for recruiting people under my banner, I don't have any opinion. After all, after all, this mercenary group is still in my hands, but I'm not assured, but still ...
[As long as you can prove that you are also the absolute Gentleman who understands true love, you can also become one of us without going through the investigation. 】
These notices make people wonder how to spit it out. Do they still think that there are not too many freaks and Gentleman? When I walked in indignantly, I heard even more silent crying.
"Why, why did you refuse me to join? I'm a real giant. Breast control !!! I'm not tolerated by the world."
"Hum, superficial, just love because of a feature? Isn't it just as long as it matches the feature? Do you think the real Gentleman is such a superficial thing? Your understanding of true love is too superficial!"
Momo's anger scolded back and forth in the corridor, but I urged to turn my head and start.
"If I smell: all the phases are false. If you see the different phases, you will see them. Young man, you are in magic, you are in phase, the real Gentleman, what you love is in the false shell. The beauty of the world, we abandoned the virtual image to reach the real. But you lost your heart for that characteristic, and you are inferior.
Listening to the monk ’s words, I was immediately confused, and it took me a while to sort out, but the Casio commentary came to already.
"Brother means that you are just a fake Gentleman who is paranoid about a certain feature. The real Gentleman loves something just because you love it from the bottom of your heart, not just for a temporary feature. True love comes from Inward, not outward. "
Don't talk about the audience in the room, I said it all in one go.
"In love, people are alone, lonely and alone, bitter and happy, there is no generation. Go, my way is different!"
"Brother means that we live in this world, but our hearts are lonely, and we long for too special, because often our minds, it is difficult to have an acquaintance to let us talk, but you are not our fellow , So please go. "
Finally, I can't bear it, is this and that? Is this almost becoming the Gentleman philosophy? Should we continue to worship the Beifeng cult in this way?
"Talk to me!"
But just screaming and rushing in, I immediately regretted it. As soon as the door opened, the long-awaited Momo hugged me.
"Drink and drink, little Rolo, I know you're outside the door! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
While resisting the Dark Elf Cavalier who was entangled, I heard that there was still a hot commentary there.
"Everything that works is like a fantasy bubble. If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed like that! Good, I am not alone!"
"Brother means, which Momo you look at, she doesn't need the naked eye at all, just by looking at all the virtual images by intuition, you know that the middle-aged man's appearance is her favorite shota! This is the Gentleman in progress. Wait ..... Momo's favorite shota, that's not ... Roland! "
"Wind tight bullshit call!"
"Brother means, run away!"
Okay, looking at the guilty Gentlemans who do birds and beasts, I haven't tried to kill them. Except that already entangles my female Elf like an octopus, it is the familiar figure.
"Roland !!! See you for a long time!"
"Aemila!"
"The dharma is born by fate, the dharma is destroyed by fate. His Highness Roland, this **** has been with the fate for a long time, and you are attracted by its fate. Greatness!"
"Brother, you're in trouble ..."
This time, the commentary for Casio was finally interrupted.
"Shut up!" "Shut up!", (to be continued ...)
