Although he only with this nominal Great Great Great Great... great-granddaughter for less than a day, Gawain still has a deep impression on Rebecca, and more than once doubted whether the child's head was affected when she was a child.
It is reasonable to say that the elite education of noble children received is not to be mentioned. Her own identity as a spell caster can almost prove her IQ. After all, it is not something ordinary people can grasp... …
Other people do not want to pursue Rebecca's silliness and who has brain problems. Even Heidi, who has always been very strict with Rebecca, has only deep worries at this moment: "You mean... monsters appeared in Cecil are monsters from seven hundred years ago?"
Gao Wen sighed: "Looking at how strange you are about those monsters, I think you haven't seen them for hundreds of years."
"The war with monsters after the end of the pioneering period is already history," Heidi shook her head slightly. "Although there are records in history books, the most recent records are at least six hundred years ago... According to what I have learned, The monsters that wandered out of the wasteland of the ancient empire harassed Anzu for a long time, but since the elves helped humans build the sentry towers, those monsters have completely become a legend..."
Gao Wen frowned slightly: "Sentinel Tower... things built by elves won't be so easy to go wrong."
"This matter must be told to Your Majesty the King," Rebecca suddenly squeezed her fist and said with a serious face. "The monster that disappeared hundreds of years ago suddenly reappeared in the empire. Someone must quickly send the information back. . And Cecil has suffered heavy losses from this unwarranted disaster. We...we must ask the royal family for help..."
Gawain thought about the great achievements of "his," back then, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, with the status of the Cecil family in Anzu and the influence I left behind, They will spare no effort to help you rebuild your territory."
But he didn't expect that Heidi and Rebecca didn't show a reassuring look on their faces when he said these words, but their expressions became strange.
Gao Wen was confused: "Um... what's the matter?"
Is it possible that after 700 years have passed, the legendary founding Grand Duke Gawain Cecil's name is no longer recognized?
"Ancestor..." Heidi looked very ugly. She bit her lip several times before she seemed to have finally made up her mind. "Actually, I wanted to tell you something when I was in the tomb, but... I can't say it."
Gawain had vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he nodded: "Say it, I'm listening."
"The glory of the Cecil family is gone. Although you are still considered the legendary founding prince of the kingdom, but..." Heidi glanced at Rebecca with some embarrassment. "But now Rebecca, who inherits the family title just Viscount, this piece of Cecil's territory... is also the last piece of the family's land."
Gawain was stunned: "... Huh?! How do I remember I was already a duke when I died, and I was hereditary? The territory stretched from Cecil to the Holy Spirit Plain...… What the hell did the descendants of Cecil do? Did the Assassin killed the heirs or there is a conspiracy?"
Heidi lowered her head in shame: "... A lot can happen in 700 years, so in the family, Today, Anzu is no longer the first dynasty, and the Cecil family is no longer the important ministers who supported the royal family, but the people who were stigmatized and banished by the royal family."
Rebecca next to her continues Heidi's words: "A hundred years ago, Dalyan III, the last king of Anzu's first dynasty, died of a serious illness. He did not leave any children before his death. The royal family was already full of contradictions. Even Dalyan III's inheritance was also controversial, and after the death of the king, the queen and the ministers failed to control the situation in time, which led to the "Misty Moon Turmoil"."
"The royal family members with collateral inheritance rights fought for the throne in Wuyue in Anzu 635. In the third week of the end of Wuyue, the court struggle intensified into a civil war. The members of the royal family and the great nobles standing behind them fought directly with the military. In the confrontation, Cecil's family has also been involved..."
"The Breaking point is the Marquis of Grumman. Grand Duke Cecil was old, but still very healthy, and the relationship with his eldest son, Grumman Cecil, was very tense. The Marquis of Grumman probably felt a crisis. ... he secretly planned and took part in the civil war that year. Because he had not inherited the power of the family and did not have enough appeal, Marquis Grumman hit his idea on the legendary ancestor..."
Gawain held his forehead: "I remember, he took my shield, right?"
Heidi nodded and continued to speak for Rebecca: "The Marquis of Grumman first put the Grand Duke Cecil under house arrest, and then took your sacred object, the Anzu Kingdom Guardian Shield from the ancestral tomb. Then, in the heir's name of the Cecil family, he announced his support for Prince Tosh. In March of the same year, Prince Tosh was assassinated. Then the Marquis of Grumman quickly announced his support for Prince Fidik. In April of the same year, Prince Fidik was defeated and killed himself... "
Gao Wen: "..."
But this is not over yet. Heidi has still something to say: "After that, the Marquis of Grumman found the uncle of Dalyan III. He used his outstanding eloquence to ally with him, but, the second of May, the Northern Territory Duke Len Wilde, who had not intervened in the civil war, suddenly pushed a young man onto the stage and announced that the young man was the illegitimate son of the previous king. Then the Northern Prince used this as a bargaining chip to take part in the civil war. The end of the eyed ended the fog of that civil war. On the eve of the end of the civil war, Marquis Grumman wanted to repeat his tricks to declare allegiance to the new king, but before he had time to make a statement, he was attacked on the battlefield by enemies and died."
"After that, Anzu became the second dynasty. Of course the term 'second dynasty'... is still a relatively sensitive topic."
At this time, Amber, who had been listening to the side without speaking, suddenly said: "The whole farce only lasted for a year, but it has shuffled the order of the entire kingdom... Who does not know this History in the entire continent?"
"Because the last king ascended to the throne was an illegitimate child, there is war in private and it is also called the illegitimate child war," Heidi said. "There are many great nobles involved in the civil war, so many families have been implicated. But this is still part of the rules of the nobility. Besides the extreme chaos in the country at the beginning of the second dynasty, the new king urgently needs to clean up the order, and this requires the cleaning of the old nobles, so most of the families struggled but not been driven to extinction, except ..."
"Except for those who jumped the hardest, right?" Gawain couldn't help but twitched his mouth. This entire history made him, an elder who had been in the sky for hundreds of thousands of years, feel great discomfort, and he could only sigh. Sure enough, life is more exaggerated than the novel. The novel also talks about basic logic. How can the Marquis of Grumman be so talented, "I guess there is no more tossing than Grumman Cecil, right?"
"After that, the Cecil family fell into decay," Heidi lowered his head. "The fate of the family would have been worse, but your reputation and the efforts of the old man finally saved the family's blood at the last point. Basically, since then, the name Cecil can no longer become the center of the kingdom, as you can see..."
Gawain followed Heidi's gaze and looked at Miss Rebecca Cecil, whose mind was not right.
Rebecca noticed Gawain's gaze and turned her head: "My ancestor?"
"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate..." Gawain covered his forehead. Although he was not the true ancestor of the Cecil family, the glorious record and bizarre deeds of Marquis Grumman had reached the point of the bizarreness of those who heard it To the point of tears, even if he listened to it, he was deeply stunned, "the prodigal son lost my shield..."
Heidi & Rebecca: "..."
The old ancestor scolded Grandpa again.
Fortunately, Gawain was not the actual person involved in the incident. He quickly adjusted his mentality-which in Heidi's eyes he became broad-minded. he then shook his head slightly: "Forget it, investigating these past events not conducive to the current situation. In any case, the monsters that reappear are an enormous threat to the human world. The king of Saint-Sunil can ignore the decline of the Cecil family, but he can't ignore those Monsters, so he must also pay attention to us who escaped from this disaster."
Heidi nodded vigorously: "What you said is quite true."
After that, Gao Wen lost his interest in speaking, and the dimly cramped underground passage made everyone desire to not talk. All that was left was to speed up and continue on the way.
Fortunately, the underground passage can traverse the entire Cecil collar at the fastest speed, and the nearest exit is not too far from the castle. After rushing for a while, Gawain judged they had arrived at the right place.
Under the effect of the blessing of the earth element, the ancient tunnel stairs did not collapse slightest, and luckily, the vicinity of the exit was not buried by earth and rock. After clearing some roots, vines, and remaining soil that blocked the exit, the fresh air was finally blowing on everyone's face.
Seeing the sun again, everyone was excited.
Knight Byron led the soldiers to jump out of the cave first, and after they sent a safety signal, the others followed out. Rebecca took a deep breath immediately after climbing on the ground, and then happily whispered: "Everyone come out!"
Gao Wen followed Rebecca to the ground. His excitement was no less than that of the other, and he was even more excited.
A vast world.
His first reaction was to raise his head and look at the sky.
Unfortunately, the world outside at this moment is night.
But I should also be grateful for this night, which allowed him to see this alien starry sky for the first time.
A little white light appeared on the horizon, and the approaching dawn made the stars in the sky appear light and dim. The sparse stars seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, hazy and alienated.
The stars are completely disappearing.
The white light on the horizon is getting brighter, the night is passing, and the dawn is coming. Everyone who escaped from the underground tunnel is immersed in joy, and Gao Wen is even more joyful. With excitement, he stared at the rising sun. He opened his hands as if to embrace the sun of this new world.
Then he saw an unprecedentedly huge luminous arc, sprayed with faint mist, gradually rising on the horizon, and spreading the brilliance to the world.
That is not the sun.
