Gawain did not travel fast.
Although Rebecca seemed a little anxious along the way, Gawain still ordered the trip at his own pace. He let the team stop in every town he passed through, and after stopping, he arranged for the soldiers to disguise as travelers or mercenaries to mix in the crowd, to spread the news that "the founding Duke Gawain Cecil is resurrected" and "The Duke Gawain will arrive in Saint-Sunil soon", and he also bought local bards and rascals to spread similar content But a more bizarre version-the funding from Viscount Andrew was enough for him to accomplish these things.
Originally, Gawain was still worried that neither he nor Rebecca had any experience in dealing with similar ground snakes, and would encounter difficulties when doing these things, but he did not expect that the fellow Byron Knight showed extraordinary abilities. The strength of the middle-aged knight may not be high among his colleagues, but his ability to deal with those social idlers is impressive. Basically, after arriving in a city, it will not take long for him to interact with the "rats". Get on the line, and before the soldiers could spread the news, various rumors about the Southern Territory spread to the bottom of society...
Gawain thought of the origin of the Byron knight. According to Rebecca, Byron was not a serious, noble child, but was once a mercenary who went from north to south. He has only joined Cecil's territory after a certain incident. Now the experience of this former mercenary has not been abandoned.
And the other person who helped a lot did not Gawain. Amber was really a good hand when dealing with the rogues, and it should be said that she had high professionalism or a strong business level... A half-elf lady has a little money to buy those bastards, and after she comes back, she also has a lot of money...
Of course, this behavior was strongly condemned by Rebecca, who was well-taught and to maintain his tall image in front of future generations. Gawain had to press Amber's head to make her promise to pay back all the stolen money. She went back and returned and promised never to commit any more thefts in the future.
This made Amber extremely bothered as if the value of life had been denied-Gawain felt it was probably impossible for the elf to establish normal moral views.
Besides, stopping along the way is to let the rumors ferment. Another purpose Gawain is not so easy to say: he needs to understand the world better.
It's not because the memory in his mind is 700 years away from the current era, but because he is not a person in this world at all. After all, the images seen in the sky can only be used as maps, and the inherited memory lacks a sufficient sense of substitution and flexibility. Therefore, he tried to search the memory several times but did not understand the corresponding "keywords"and wasted effort. Then he realized it, so for currently Gawain, the most urgent thing is to understand the world better.
The process is fairly smooth.
He saw the poor and backward southern villages of the Anzu Kingdom, the bustling cities in the central part, the mountains and jungles, and the fortresses built by humans, and all of this is gradually becoming the same as those in his mind.
By judging some details, he confirmed that the "recent" top-down map in his mind should not be out of date for too long. It is probably a record left about ten years ago that was when he took the last look when hung in the sky.
For this slow-developed world, the map ten years ago is no problem at all for use.
As for leaving the southern border for so long, whether there will be any problems in Tanzanite Town, Gawain is not as worried as Rebecca. He believes in Hetty's ability and can basically be sure that Viscount Andrew will earnestly fulfill the content of the transaction. Not believing in the character of Mr. Viscount, but he believes interests can firmly bind the other party and the Cecil family together. Before leaving the Southern Territory, he arranged for Knight Philip to spread various gossips. Besides letting everyone know about the resurrection of Gawain Cecil, he arranged for the surviving Cecil citizens and keeping the citizens also left Viscount Andrew, who has no choice. He could only continue to raise the refugees until Gawain Cecil returned from the king's capital and everything settled down. Just one day.
Regardless of how long it took, the journey would have its end. Two months after leaving the southern region, the towering walls of Saint-Sunil finally appeared in front of Gawain and his party.
This is a city built on plain land, and its scale is far beyond those of the poor and backward southern cities. The white walls and neat bright blue roofs are the biggest features of this city, so it has the "Holy White" and the "Blue Crown" are two loud reputable names.
Since the founding king Charles, I led his people to reclaim fields on this plain 700 years ago, and build cities. The city has undergone countless expansions and renovations, and the most primitive earth-stone walls have long ceased to exist. Only a few monumental barriers were left in the old city of the city, while the newly built megalithic city wall was expanded ten times more than the original one. The stones used to build the city wall are all hard stones from the northern Panshiling and eastern regions., The bricks and stones are poured with molten copper and lead, and in such a thick and strong city wall, a crystal blessed by the earth element is cast every 100 meters to ensure that it will not crack and collapse-its luxurious degree, The ancestors who pioneered that year probably never dreamed of it.
Gawain stood under Sunil's city wall, looking up at the stone bricks shining in the sun, and found that there was no impression in his mind.
This city is no longer the same place as the small city in Gawain, Cecil's memory.
With legal documents and a reliable aristocratic identity certificate, Gawain and his party did not encounter any setbacks when they entered the city.
His Majesty King Francis II, who ruled the entire Kingdom of Anzu, was waiting for these visitors from the south in his palace, the Silver Fort, especially waiting for a special guest from seven hundred years ago.
In fact, he had been waiting for many, many days, and he was even waiting until a nervous breakdown.
The old ancestors can toss, this king said that he will not take you to play like that-the secret reports from all over the south and the intelligence of every town along the route from south to north have rarely stopped, official intelligence from leaders at all levels And the gossip collected from the folks can pile up to a height of over one meter on the desk. There are at least over one hundred versions of the content—not including the dialect version. Regardless of which version, the central content is talking about the old ancestor who suddenly uncovered the coffin and led his descendants straight to the royal capital, but only this news was delivered day by day. The old ancestor himself...
Why don't you come quickly!?
The initial plan made after receiving a secret letter from Viscount Andrew has long since been abandoned, and the coping methods discussed with trusted advisors have also failed one by one during the old ancestor's travels and swaggering through the city. Now Gawain The return of pioneer is already well known, of course, considering the efficiency of information dissemination in this era, it is an exaggeration to say that everyone knows everything, but at least the business travelers and little nobles who can inquire about the news knows about this.
Suddenly, what Francis II can do becomes very limited.
Sitting in the Silver Fort, he should meet the returning legendary grand prince in an upright manner, openly talk with him, and then sent away the living ancestor in an open manner.
At the very least, we must be right in every link that will be paid attention to.
However, Gawain didn't plan to free the King so soon or that his goal in the first half has been achieved. Now he wants to test the attitude of the king and the attitudes of those around the king a little, so he didn't act in a low-key manner, the convoy went directly to the Silver Fort, but not long after entering the Fort, he ordered all the soldiers to take out the flags that had been prepared in the carriage.
On the banner are the emblems of the Cecil family, and the sword and shield emblems of the Anzu royal family. The two emblems are juxtaposed together, which were restored by Gawain based on his memory. The flag was used by the Grand Duke when he was still alive.
Even if there are only twelve big soldiers, they must act as the guard of honor.
The Cecil family is indeed declined, but even if it is declined to this point, the family that used to open up territory with the ancestors and build up the land with the military still keeps the last point of pride. It defends the people and the land on the battlefield. Rebecca, who is only seventeen years old and can only use fireball, can be said to be the weakest generation of Cecil lord in history. Martial arts are not good at all, and her mind may be caught by the door, but She can lead the last few family soldiers to guard the castle and let the last civilians break out, relying on the pride that has been passed down to this day.
Therefore, Cecil's family has the poorest and weakest fief in the South, but it still cultivates the best fighters in the South.
Even a dozen of these fighters have died so far.
The soldiers raised the flags, lined up in two rows on horses, and looked at the emblems flying on the flag. They seemed to be infected, too. Their heads were raised high. Behind them, Rebecca and Gawain had also got off the car, rode on the horse, and moved forward with the soldiers.
Byron was at the forefront. This mercenary-born and half-ordained knight tried his best to act himself with a decent posture like a nobleman, so as not to humiliate the face of the family he was loyal to, but Gawain drove the horse to his side and told him in a low voice: "Relax-put aside those manners and rules. When we walked here back then, some people even carried wood axes on their backs."
At the end of the line, in the carriage that should have been used by Gawain and Rebecca, there now Miss Rogue and the dozing little maid Betty resting.
"Aristocrats are really a sick creature, isn't it?" Amber looked at the outside of the car, then poked Betty's arm."If you have a car, go out and ride a horse. There is a nut in your head."
Betty moved little by little, looking as if she was nodding, but suddenly a small snot bubble appeared.
Amber blinked and looked at Betty and suddenly noticed the pan that the other party was holding. She suddenly felt mischievous. She used her excellent skills as a thief and quietly approached the pan...
Betty suddenly lifted the Pan and held it in her arms, stared at Amber with a look of astonishment: "No! Master said, this is mine!"
Amber:"...?"
