Chapter 38 The Nameless
In the 335th year of the Empire, the Kingdom of Katina annexed the Principality of Naitas, which took only five days. Queen Katia then asked to attend the holy ceremony of the Plano Empire to "discuss the prospects of friendship between the two countries."
Lord Shadow Dragon was rushing to the extreme north at this time. His purpose of this trip was to save Miss Yinmei who was trapped in the extreme north. However, according to time, it only took six days for Lord Shadow Dragon to arrive at the extreme north. However, according to information, Lord Shadow Dragon did not have any magic to move instantly. Maybe it was because Lord Shadow Dragon had an adventure. In short, he saved Miss Yinmei. If he arrived at the extreme north at the original time, Miss Yinmei might have been dead. Even such a miracle only made Lord Shadow Dragon arrive on the verge of Miss Yinmei’s death.
——"Song of Thorns and Troubled Times"
The Katina army, who came to receive them, brought a lot of food and thick cotton coats intimately. They were radiant, and the generals in the head looked very young, less than twenty years old, with short straw yellow hair and freckles on his face. He was still eating something, and said to Liva and the others in a slight manner: "You guys are frozen for so many days, right? Come and eat something hot!" The Katina army poured them with hot milk and patted them on the shoulders friendly, as close as brothers, and completely unlike their desperate battle with them on the snow-capped mountains for several days.
The young general introduced himself: "I am the Knight of Dean, General of Katina, you are the Knight of Liva? The three generals of Neitas are indeed well-known. I heard that General Prolo also became famous at a young age, but unfortunately he died of Atesta. Who is there?"
Liva looked sad: "Baron Oputuo was assassinated by parliamentary nobles in the early stages of the civil war." Dean looked at him in surprise: "Wow, what value does such a country have in protection?" "Is that our motherland?" Liva did not allow anyone to slander his motherland. Dean asked in confusion: "Did you establish this country to make you suffer?"
Liva was speechless. He wanted to say that Neitas was actually very good. In winter, there was a stove at the door of every household, with hot soup cooked on it, so that the cold passers-by could warm up the body. Neitas also had spring, and in spring, the fields were filled with blue flowers. They could not afford to raise livestock. The weather was too cold. The livestock with fat meat could not grow fat and could only eat grains. However, there were only a few places in Neitas suitable for planting, so they did not have extra grain to feed livestock, so they could only raise white cows in the snow mountain. In summer, the river water thawed and the fish swam back. Strong men would go fishing in the river. Women moved out large and heavy pottery tanks to prepare fish. This was another major source of meat besides white beef.
But he finally said nothing. Neitas was very good, but the nobles did not cherish these good people. Roglova was ambitious to make profits for the people. He wanted a war to lay the foundation of his already weak, but they lost. Then there was the civil war, the war between the people whose rights were taken back and the nobles. He wanted to be neutral, but he was a noble family and he suppressed his own people. He could not say how beautiful Neitas was.
A female general led her over. She was extremely similar to Dean, with the same straw yellow hair, the same freckles, and even the pointed chin. Liva guessed that they were Dean's sisters. She reported to Dean: "The statistics have been completed. We lost 2,374 soldiers, and another 3,143 were seriously injured. There were more minor injuries, but there were no serious injuries." Dean was silent for a moment and said: "They are heroes. Try to transport their bodies back to the country and we take them home. Those who are seriously injured will be treated as soon as possible. The minor injuries will be rested for a few days first. For the queen and for Katina." The woman nodded slightly, with a serious look on her face: "For the queen, for Katina."
Gano drifted on the Ino River, which was named after the Frost Snow Princess Enola. Legend has it that Princess Enola led the army of PLANO to conquer the East Asmod continent, but how to quickly dispatch more than 100,000 troops from the south to the north is another big problem. Princess Enola swung his sword to cut the earth. Since then, the only large river flowing north and south on the continent has appeared, so PLANO's army can quickly rush to various battlefields.
This is not nonsense, but it is also exaggerated. Not to mention whether Princess Enola really has the power to split the earth, but after cutting the earth, it is impossible to justify how the water flows out. Moreover, if the continent is directly cut off with one blow, then the deepest part is probably going to go directly to hell.
In fact, the southern end of Plano is the continuation of the Polocrila Mountains in Katina. There are several extremely high snow-capped mountains, and the blood on the snow-capped mountains melted at the bottom of the mountain to form a river. In ancient times, strong earthquakes broke out in Asmod continent, and several narrow and long cracks shook from south to north. For hundreds of years, each crack was like a narrow and extremely deep lake. Princess Enola ordered people to connect these several cracks and connect them to the Snow Water River, and then transported soil to fill the deep part of the cracks, which formed the current Ino River.
Ironically, Princess Enola's coup failed in the end and she fell into the river named after her.
Gano was lying on the boat, without a mask, looking at the night sky in late autumn. Plano's year is sixteen months, about thirty days a month, and four months a season. It is now the third month of autumn, and the holy ceremony is in the second month of winter. He can rush back, he is worried about Shia in his heart, but he believes that Shia can save her. Shia said she can do everything, so he believes Shia will be fine.
Now there is no time to worry about Shia. What he has to worry about is Inmei. Inmei doesn't know that Zhuoga and Sog have betrayed their alliance. She just suspects what the Red Witch is doing. She is alone, and the First Imperial Mage and the First Blade Knight of the Imperial Capital who intends to kill her are staying in the extreme north. Even if she is not killed by Moni, she may die at their hands.
When he was in the Black Stone jungle, he would also look at the sky. After a busy day, he would lie on the grass next to the mine, look at the night sky, and watch the three moons either round or curved.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" There was a shout from afar.
Gano responded, "Who is there?" He put his hand on the dagger while docking the boat on the shore.
On both sides of the Ino River are uninhabited grasslands and woods. Even at the ports in the Marquis of Geisen, goods are transported to the intersection of the Ino River and the Boyi River and transferred to the Boyi River.
With the amazing night vision of the Shadow Dragon, he vaguely saw a figure in the woods on the shore, rushing towards the river. After the man arrived at the shore, Gano saw his appearance clearly.
It was a young man in his twenties, carrying a big cloth bag, his clothes were covered with dust, his face was covered with mud, and he looked like he was dusty. Seeing Gano, he shouted, "Ah, I'm saved, I've been here for two days, and there's no one!" "This is a wilderness, and it's impossible for anyone to be there." Gano couldn't help but remind.
"Hey? Impossible? Didn't there be any towns before? Look, there are still signs on my map!" The young man pointed to the sheepskin map in his hand and said confidently.
Gano glanced at the map through the moonlight, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Uh... you are a map of the ancient Aipo Empire... These towns were burned out when the Aipo Empire was destroyed hundreds of years ago." However, the young man widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "What, the Aipo Empire was destroyed?"
"You... aren't from the Asmod continent?" Gano couldn't believe that the founding of the country has been more than 300 years ago. How could there be no concern about the world? I feel that the Aibo Empire is still there.
"I have traveled around the world. I don't know what country it was when I left." The young man looked distressed, "What should I do? I can't get lost in my hometown."
Gano said tentatively, "Or, I'll take you for a while. You go to the place you know." The young man was happy again: "Okay, little brother, you are such a good person."
Gano gave him a few slices of bread and bacon. The dry food prepared by Marquis Gaisen for him was very rich, including white bread, bacon, jam, candied fruits, candied fruits, and air-dried cooked beef.
While eating, the young man told him what he saw and heard: "Do you know? I went out to the ocean for several years, and then I found that there is more water than land in this world. There are other continents, and there are many countries in each continent. Some countries actually make a fuss about a gem, which is simply a mess. There is also that foreign continent, and there is more than one country in that continent. I was thrown out by one of the countries because my hair was not black! There is also another continent, which has a country on it. Before eating, I have to eat the chickens raised at home first. I can't understand it."
"Well, what are the other countries doing?" Gano had never seen the world outside the Asmod continent. He had never even been out of Plano, and he had never left the Black Stone Jungle before Sci took him to the beach.
"War, war is endless. For land, power, profit, and happiness, there are even people fighting for religious beliefs!" For the Asmods who were slaughtered by the gods, fighting for religion is incredible. They cannot even understand the emergence of religion. For them, the gods are dead and believe nothing is useless. It is better to find a way to solve it yourself.
"Asmod is also quite a lot of wars." Gano couldn't help but say that, like the first twenty years of the founding of the Aipo Empire, almost all the empires established by Pallano almost slaughtered all the talents in the occupied land.
The young man thought about it and agreed to his statement: "That's true. By the way, where are you going? There is nothing fun in the north, right?" The young man seemed to regard him as a person who was watching the scenery everywhere.
Gano said casually: "The Far North." He wanted to change his words after he finished speaking. However, the young man looked at him with shock: "Little brother, you are seeking death!" Gano wanted to slap himself, but he couldn't change his words. He had to give in and say, "I'll go to save people." "Run to the Far North to save people? You are treating yourself as a savior!" the young man teased.
"I didn't regard myself as a savior, but someone asked me to be a savior." Gano said helplessly.
The young man laughed out loud: "What kind of savior? Those heroes who hold the name of savior in mythology will save a country or save this continent at most. Look, for example, the ancient thorn disaster swallowed Asmod at most. Can the plants on land grow in the sea? The world is so big, how could such a big disaster sweep the world? Then there is such a person who is powerful enough to save the world!" "But for those who are saved, for the lives of that country or this continent, it is the savior, who saved their world."
The young man was silent for a moment and said, "That's right. In history, there was a man with the ability to save the world, but he had never encountered a disaster that matched his abilities. That man was Duke Anka. His power was enough to fight or save everything in this world, and then there was never a similar thing that allowed him to show his strength. Even the slaughter of the gods was not his real power."
His expression suddenly dimmed, and he whispered: "But there is also a man who, obviously without any power, inexplicably caused a disaster that really endangers the world. Of course, he became the savior, and the price was so terrible that he would rather destroy the world than pay these prices..." Gano was about to ask who he was, but the young man stretched his waist and said happily: "Forget it, we civilians don't need to think about these things, so we should go to bed."
He yawned and said good night, took out a blanket from his backpack, and went into the cabin to sleep.
Gano had a problem in his heart and was not convenient to disturb others, so he had to hold it in and continue lying on the deck to look at the night sky.
As he watched, he fell asleep.
The next day, Gano was awakened by the cold. He sneezes and woke up completely from his sleep. Gano muttered, "Why is it so cold all day..." Then he saw the scene in front of him and was stunned.
Wherever his eyes could see was a vast white area, and his boat was frozen alone on the ice.
Gano turned his head stiffly and saw a shadow of a mountain in the distance. He immediately guessed that it was the Dragon Bone Mountain mentioned by Sci.
He rushed into the cabin, and the young man had disappeared, leaving only a roll of parchment. He opened it, and the handwriting on it was scribbled with a passage: "Thank you for your hospitality. Considering that you arrived in the far north, the person you want to save has long died, I will give you a ride. I took some dry food as a reward." The signature was "The nameless sinner."
He had no time to check how much food the young man had taken away. He was trembling with cold at this moment. Gano couldn't help but curse, "Can you not add a blanket to me if you send me to the extreme north?" He was even more worried about another thing. On the way back, would he have to cross the Dragon Bone Mountain with a boat on his back?
