Early the next morning, they finally arrived in Yamei Province.
By this time, Shannon was no longer on the ship.
At four o'clock in the morning, Angel relocated Shannon to the Duanjin Province, which is adjacent to Yamei Province. The main reason was that Shannon seemed not used to high-altitude navigation and had been dizzy.
Considering her physical condition, Angel asked about the route to the Yamei Province, and dropped her in Maynooth, the largest city in the Duanjin Province. After confirming that she was still able to move, he drove Gondo
He flew to the province of Yamei.
As the morning sun rose leisurely, the gondola flew over Waterford.
Waterford is not actually ranked among the cities in the province of Jamey, but it is the closest city to the town of Gru. In Angel's memory when he was a child, Waterford was a city that seemed to never be able to explore the edges.
A huge city. But after experiencing various giant cities, Angel found that Waterford was only a little bigger than Bolai Town.
The town of Bo Lai, which inspired the mainland, has a unique personality that can be seen even before you get close to it. It is full of literature, art and innovation. But Waterford, even to Duru, feels a bit cold and old. Even though there are several
There are high-rise buildings, but almost all other houses are made of black stones. The whole city has almost the same color. The only thing worth mentioning is that the city construction is very standardized and the houses are arranged neatly and neatly. But from another angle, this is too
Stick to the rules.
"Mr. Pat, look over there." Dulu suddenly pointed to a place and said to Angel.
Angel had been observing this city in his childhood memories, so he actually discovered the place that Dulu was pointing to early on.
That's Watford's city gate.
Outside the city gate, a group of ragged people were waiting here. When the morning sun shone on the city gate, the gate was slowly opened by the guards, and this group of people who looked like refugees poured into Waterford.
"They seem to be refugees?" Drew asked curiously.
"They are refugees caused by the war." Angel sensed the conversation of the guards. With the victory of Hailan, the refugees fleeing from the coastal provinces poured into nearby provinces. Yamei Province is the closest to the front line.
Although the provinces are not the first choice for refugees, after all, the Meng family has troops stationed here, so many refugees still come here.
He looked at the villages that had been massacred in Heiwu Province before, and then looked at this group of refugees with sallow faces and skinny muscles.
It can be seen that this war had a great impact on the Golden Bird Empire.
When Shannon was still on the gondola, Angel once asked her the reason for Hailan's victory. Shannon herself couldn't tell the reason. She was a guest in the Sumei territory three months ago, and she couldn't see Hailan at all at that time.
Lan showed signs of victory. It looked like the stalemate would last for a long time, but within a few days, news came that several coastal provinces had fallen. Before she could leave, Heiwu Province was also captured.
"Speaking of the war between Hailan and Jinque, from Shannon's tone before, it seems that the stalemate lasted for seven or eight years. But it seems a bit strange that the battles in several provinces were ended so quickly in a short period of time." Du Lu
road.
"It's indeed a bit strange." Angel said, "But let's not think about it for now. Let's go back to Gru Town first."
Seeing so many refugees, Angel felt like returning to the town of Gru. Although the refugees were pitiful, sometimes they were also a disaster, especially for the town of Gru with simple folk customs.
"I hope the situation in Gru Town will be better." Angel whispered to himself.
Soon, they saw the town of Gru, which was located between the mountains and adjacent to the grassland.
After many years of separation, Angel should have been happy and excited when he saw the familiar town. But before he got close to Gru Town, Angel felt something bad in his heart.
"Stop." Angel suddenly shouted.
At this time, there was still some distance from Gru Town. The gondola was hidden in the clouds and mist. Drew looked at Angel in confusion: "Master Pat, what's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the atmosphere in Gru Town."
Drew stretched out his head and looked through the thin clouds and mist at the small town where houses were dotted among the greenery.
Because of the distance, he couldn't see very clearly. But he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the town, except that it was a bit small.
Facing Dulu's doubts, Angel said softly: "I feel a strange aura."
In Angel's vision, the town was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. However, if he was asked to tell him what was wrong, he could not explain it for the moment.
Angel's expression slowly calmed down. When he was about to return home, he discovered that there was a problem in the town. This was probably the last thing he wanted to see.
For the sake of caution, Angel did not directly drive the flying boat over. Instead, he ordered Dulu to descend into the forest and slowly walk towards the direction of Gru Town.
The closer he got to Gru Town, the more cautious Angel's movements became. On the contrary, Dulu could not see Angel's nervousness and looked at the nearby scenery curiously.
After walking for half an hour, they came out of the forest when the sun was shining.
The high post on the outpost of Gru Town can be faintly seen ahead. According to past practice, there are guards from the town guarding there. However, it is still a bit far away now, and it is not clear whether there is anyone on the post.
There is farmland nearby, and no one is seen, but the farmland has been cultivated. There are no weeds, and you can see fresh green growing in the fields.
Judging from this, at least someone in the town is taking care of the fields.
Five minutes later, when Angel saw a guard in soft armor standing on the sentry post, he finally felt relieved a little.
The guards in the town are still there, which means that Gru Town still maintains a basic order.
He was afraid that something unexpected would happen, like the massacred villages he saw in Heiwu Province before. Judging from the current situation, it seemed to be okay.
However, he couldn't completely rest assured. Before he saw his brother, his heart was still in doubt.
As they arrived, the guards at the sentry locked their eyes tightly.
Most of the guards' eyes were fixed on Dulu. The turban that covered most of his face attracted special attention.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Gru Town?" the guard asked immediately before entering the town, but his attitude was quite friendly. The two people in front of him were dressed normally. At least from the cloth on their bodies, it could be seen that they were not refugees.
Duru's foreign accent was too strong, so Angel didn't let him speak. Instead, he took the initiative and said, "I'm from Cornea, and I came here to meet my old friends."
——Konia is the largest city in the province of Yame.
Angel deliberately showed a strong aristocratic accent, and sure enough, the guard's expression softened even more when he heard such an authentic accent.
Even Angel's wrinkled clothes didn't pay much attention to him, he just thought he was a down-and-out nobleman.
"Who is sir's old friend? I am Jordan, the guard of Gru Town. I can point you in the direction."
Guard Jordan? Angel thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the son of the town’s sheriff was named Jordan. However, Angel had never seen him before, as he seemed to be studying abroad.
"I'm here to see Viscount Pat. He and I have been good friends for many years." Angel smiled and said, "I came here this time to see him for something."
When Angel said the name of Viscount Pat, the Jordanian guard's eyes suddenly changed.
Angel noticed the change in his eyes and suddenly became confused: "What's wrong? Isn't Viscount Pat here?"
The Jordanian guard swallowed, looked around, made sure no one was paying attention to him, and whispered: "If you want to find Viscount Pat, I advise you to go back."
"Why?" Angel's expression did not change, but he felt uneasy in his heart: "Isn't Viscount Pat here?"
"I don't know, maybe there." The Jordanian guard looked hesitant.
"What happened?" Seeing that the Jordanian guard was unwilling to speak, Angel added: "If you don't want to say anything, then take me to see Knight George. I came to Gru five years ago.
This is the town where Chevalier George received me."
George Knight is actually the town's sheriff. If Angel's memory is correct, he is also Jordan's father.
As soon as he heard George's name, Jordan's expression changed. He thought for a while, and he didn't know whether he should tell the Viscount's residence that it was closed, so he simply said: "In that case, I will take you there.
Find George Knight."
The Jordanian guard led the two of them toward the town. Along the way, people took the initiative to say hello to Jordan. Many of them were familiar faces. Angel felt a sense of reunion after a long absence, but when he thought of Jordan's previous treatment of Viscount Pat,
After hesitating, Angel's emotion disappeared.
And until now, Angel has not sensed where the strange atmosphere that made him feel before came from. Could it be that it really came from Pat Manor?
Thinking of this, Angel's eyes darkened slightly.
"Little Jordan, if you don't keep a good watch, why are you running around? And who are these two people?" When the door of a rolling wooden house was pushed open, a burly-looking middle-aged man walked out.
"Dad, they are..." Before the Jordanian guard could finish his words, he was hit hard by the middle-aged man.
"I warned you, you have to call me Sheriff when you're working!"
Jordan covered his head and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty the Sheriff."
The middle-aged man was George. Then he turned his eyes to Angel and Duru and asked, "Who are they?"
Jordan: "Your Majesty the Sheriff, he is coming to see the Viscount. He says he is a friend of the Viscount. He also said you had received him five years ago. I couldn't make up my mind, so I came to see you."
George's expression changed slightly, and he looked Angel up and down. After a while, he turned around and pulled out the long sword from Jordan's waist. The cold tip of the sword pointed at Angel: "You lie, I have never seen him before."
Say, who are you?! What are you doing here?"
Jordan was also stunned, why was he suddenly so tense?
Angel looked at George quietly, his eyes a little dazed. After a while, he slowly turned around, closed the door with a click.
When the door was closed, Angel suddenly whispered:
