Those who escaped from Cecil's disaster were lucky, but unfortunately, The burning houses, the corrupted earth by elemental forces, the horrible giants striding out of the fog of chaos, and those relatives and friends who died tragically under all this, everything is like torture entangled every escaped a man of heaven, even if they had fled to the safe town of Tanzanite, even with protecting knights and soldiers, the fear never faded from the hearts of the survivors even for a moment.
Because even those soldiers wearing armors can't sleep peacefully these days.
Many people have to use alcohol to numb themselves. Those poor people who can't even buy alcohol can only suffer from psychological torture. In addition, it is impossible to have a good life as a refugee on the territory of other lords in this era. The living environment has worsened them.
Not to mention maintaining the order of the refugees. Knight Philip now feels a little powerless to maintain the soldiers and make them report the situation regularly every day.
Fortunately, the lord returned safely, and he also brought an unexpectedly powerful pillar.
Outside Tanzanite Town, Rebecca looked at the heads gathered in front of her. These people were ragged and described as haggard. Although Viscount Andrew achieved basic accommodation and food distribution, the nobles of this era treated civilians. The welfare offered is extremely limited. It is already a manifestation of Mr. Viscount's extraordinarily benevolent and far superior mind than his peers to allow these people not to die to freeze and starvation. Rebecca can't ask anything again.
For those who escaped from Cecil, the appearance of the lord is a powerful enough stimulant.
The common people of this age do not have too acute awareness and psychological quality, and there is not much loyalty to the lord. Although Rebecca can be regarded as a benevolent and friendly lord, she has only been in office for less than a year after all. The information transmission is not smooth. In fact, many people don't even know what their lord looks like.
However, the appearance of the lord is still an encouragement. For these poor people who have been worried for many days, it is enough for someone to stand up and announce that they will continue to protect them. They don't care who their master is, or what they look like. The centuries-old feudal system has made civilians lose a lot of independent thinking ability, but it has also made them very obedient. In Gawain's view, this is a kind of cohesion based on ignorance, it is indeed effective.
The people who came to see off were only a small group. More people stayed in Tanzanite Town, looking after property or working for food for everyone. Rebecca looked at these people and wanted to say a few words, but she didn't know. What to say, she looked at Knight Philip: "These people still have to be taken care of by you Knight. Before we come back, make sure that there are not any less of them."
"Ensure you with my oath!" Philip straightened his chest. "I will protect every citizen and every property of Cecil's family for you!"
"Don't forget about what to do," Gawain said. "Viscount Andrew will provide the help. You only need to send out those who have good legs and good brains and don't save money. Things are more precious than money."
"Yes!" the young knight replied loudly, but he still couldn't hide his confusion. As a person who lived in the age of isolation and specialized in martial arts, it was difficult for him to keep up with Gawain's thoughts. "But those things, is it really that important?"
"Of course it's important," Gawain laughed. "It's rumored when it's smaller, and it's the influence of public opinion when they get bigger. Don't underestimate these invisible forces. Once everyone talks about the same thing, even the king will be Fidgeting."
After planning, Gawain and Rebecca rode in a carriage provided by Viscount Andrew. They were accompanied by Betty the maid, the loyal Knight Byron, the super thief Amber, and twelve family soldiers — -These soldiers are not carefully selected, because there are only a dozen soldiers who broke out with Knight Philip. Besides the two who ran out with Gawain, there were only 20 soldiers. Here, twelve fully equipped soldiers can be said to be the only remaining face of the Cecil family.
The mature and stable Heidi stays to maintain the situation, but the "aunt Heidi," was obviously worried about her niece's upcoming trip to the royal capital. She stood beside the carriage, clutching Rebecca's hand urged: "You must remember your identity, don't shame the face of Cecil's family, but don't conflict with the nobles in the royal capital; you must be respectful when you see the king, and you must not break the rules.; Don't hit people with a big fireball; when you encounter something you don't understand, don't answer in a hurry, talk to our ancestors or the Byron Knight, because every word you say will be picked many times; the most important thing is to listen to your ancestors, especially when dealing with nobles. You are not good at this, but the ancestor is a grand duke, he understands..."
Gawain listened to Heidi's explanation, and his heart became heavier because he really didn't understand...
Not only did he not understand, but the genuine Gawain Cecil actually did not understand. When the founding hero died, Anzu was still in leadership with a bunch of mud legs. The court rules at the time basically revolved around fighting wine and living in court. Confronting the king against the rule, I think that 700 years later should differ from the past...
But in order not to let the already nervous great-granddaughter completely frantic, he still pressed Heidi's shoulder and gave the other party a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I understand."
So during Heidi's smile, the carriage drove Rebecca, who didn't understand anything, and Gawain, who seemed to understand everything, onto the road to the royal capital.
Philip Knight also dispatched personnel according to Gawain's arrangement before leaving.
Those are the clever people found by the people, and the flexible legs and tongues hired locally in Tanzanite Town. Among them, there are even gangsters and rascals who can get a few copper plates. Dealing with these people makes the young knights awkward outside, and the things that these people make the knights feel inexplicable—the only thing they have to do is to spread in all directions, go to every place where people gather, get into bars, get into the black market, get into In the stinky shack of the slum, then brag with the locals.
It's best to find passing bards to brag.
So in the next time, this kind of scene frequently appeared in the southern region: the strangers in the dust and the strange accents appeared in various crowded places, and they said that the content was almost the same with a mysterious but serious expression:
"Hey, did you hear that? An accident happened to the Cecil family to the south! The territory was destroyed by monsters and dragons! It is said that the underground souls were also disturbed. The legendary ancestor of Cecil's family uncovered the coffin... You heard that right. It is the legendary Gawain Cecil who has awakened from his long sleep! He must have been awakened to destroy those monsters..."
"Hey! What did I lie to you for! People in the south are spreading this. You can go to Tanzanite Town or Linmu Town to find out. And do you see my clothes? I just fled from the far south. Come out, let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes when the ancestors of the Cecil family were resurrected!"
Almost everyone said the same thing, and in the end, they would vow to ensure that these bizarre things were what they saw with their own eyes-even if it wasn't the people who were originally sent by Knight Philip, the guys who spread the rumors afterward are also invariably Will say the same thing.
If one person could gather all the rumors in one place, he would be surprised to find that when the ancestors of Cecil's family were resurrected, at least a thousand people stood in the tomb to pay attention-and outside the grave. There must be 10,000 onlookers...
However, in this era, those who can guess ignore these rumors between the mud legs in the streets and alleys, and the people who listen to and spread the news... they don't think too much at all.
While on the carriage heading towards the city of Saint-Sunil, Gao Wen was bored looking at the scenery outside the car, while thinking about how to face the King sitting high in the Silver Fort of Saint-Sunil.
He didn't know how effective what he asked Philip Knight to do—in fact; he didn't even have 30% confidence in it. This is a contradictory and ignorant world. The existence of magic makes many things seem extraordinarily convenient, even beyond the times, but magic and other supernatural powers are only in the hands of a few people, people in this world have not yet—or Said that they think it is unnecessary to transform magic into a more comprehensive productive force, so in that low-level society that lacks power, everything is beyond incredible.
Communication depends on a roaring, traveling depends on walking, rumors can spread quickly in a town, because tavern gossip can be said to be the only entertainment for the common people after work, but it is difficult for news to spread from one city to another because the barren wilderness hinders most of the circulation, and there are also nobles in various regions to control the circulation of people in their own territories-without the permission of the lord, the civilians have to go from one village to other where they live to the lord's next door. Buying a chicken in the other's village even spreads the risk of being hanged!
The pass jointly signed by the Cecil family and Leslie family can solve the problem of personnel passage power, but it cannot solve other difficulties.
But some work is better than nothing.
Gawain's purpose is simple. It is to spread the "Resurrection of Cecil Ancestor" as much as possible and spread it as widely as possible. It should not only be a secret known in the noble circle, but should become a commoner or even a poor talk. If possible, it should even spread into a strange story, spread into a terrifying story-in fact, those rumors are indeed developing in this direction.
This news will be processed again and again in the process of dissemination. Those superstitious and obscure medieval people will add a lot of details to it according to their own understanding. Gawain doesn't care about the specific content of these details at all-he only needs the news to keep fermenting.
Then everyone will know that the ancestors of the Cecil family have been resurrected and that the legendary founding prince awakened when the monsters attacked the kingdom...
