The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Remember [ ] in one second, no pop-up windows, fast updates, and free reading!
Thelemian's affairs were many, but also very few...
Most of the time, it involves mediating neighborhood relations and some quarreling issues.
Even though the townspeople usually looked humble and spoke kindly when they saw him, if there was a quarrel between the neighbors, it would lead to a fight between the two families. Sean had been a baron in the town for so long and had seen such things happen more than once.
So even if I leave, I still have to leave someone to take charge of it, and then supervise the townspeople to continue to take care of the orchard.
The first batch of fruits will take at least two to three years to mature... Previously, Sean asked Igonia to try to use magic to make the saplings grow, but the growth spell seemed to make it difficult for the saplings to grow fully. Either the branches grew big but the leaves were small, or the branches and leaves were lush but no fruits were produced. It seemed that if the basic principles of normal growth were violated, things would become deformed.
Even magic cannot break the laws of the universe's growth...
In the carriage, Sean forgot to glance at the Cain slate in his hand. He had no idea what the words engraved on this unknown material said! He studied it for a long time but didn't find anything. It was just a small piece of stone with tiny words on it. If it weren't for this convenient expert, it would be completely incomprehensible.
Sean had thought before that if he had the chance, he could try to carve these words in the city, or perhaps partially carve them, and then find some recorders or experts in the city to take a look. As long as they didn't connect the dots, the other party shouldn't be able to see anything wrong.
"What are you doing, Sean?"
Igonia poked her head out of the carriage behind her.
He quickly put away the slate in his hand... Sean hadn't figured out how to tell the other party about this.
The little girl came out and sat next to Sean...
"What are you thinking about?!"
"A lot."
"Are you worried about Luke and the others?" Curious eyes moved slightly from the front to the front, just to see Sean's expression at the moment.
The two of them were riding in a large cargo carriage. Such carriages are usually quite long, with the driver at the front of the three horses, and then the cargo box at the back. Of course, with a little modification, it can also accommodate people.
The coachmen would take two people with them to earn some extra money...
"A little bit, but with Esmeralda and Dante here, it should be no problem to let them manage the town."
"But then again, it hasn't been easy for Sister Esmeralda either... She's been in love with Luke for so long and hasn't married yet. She's been living her own life and even taking on the family business. Now that she finally gets to meet Luke, she definitely doesn't want to leave." The little girl's head was filled with the emotions of "Dream!" and "Envy!"
Igunya is still young, and according to Sean's estimation, she is only about sixteen or seventeen years old.
This age is still a very imaginative age... easily moved and easily infected.
I wonder if there are any princess-knight novels in this world, but I guess there are some similar ones. Sometimes I see little girls looking at Luke and Esmeralda with eyes of envy...
"Yes, it's not easy to persevere. The most tiring thing in the world is time... But if you can persevere, there will definitely be good results." Sean said with a smile.
Suddenly, Igunya felt her arm being pulled, and she buried her face in her arm.
"how?"
"The sun is a bit strong..."
I watched as the expression "Joy!" appeared above the little girl's head again.
I didn't ask in detail.
That's about it.
Sean could see that the little girl had feelings for him, but he just didn't want to get too involved with her.
Probably because he still feels that the other person is a little younger, or maybe he has other things on his mind, but he still keeps her hanging... Maybe this is what a scumbag is.
But in fact, Sean felt that he was not the kind of heartless and ungrateful person. It was really not suitable to discuss these things in the current environment, or it felt too early before his ambitions were realized. Otherwise, it should not be difficult to take the girl to Lietis to ask her mentor Ash for marriage, and then the two of them would return to the town to marry and have children, and raise the next generation to continue living the same life.
This is not what Sean wants...
From the moment he stepped outside, Sean hoped things would change.
But I am a little confused about how to change it.
This is probably what people often say, the more you think, the less you know what to do...
Sometimes it’s better to keep it simple!
But there is one thing Sean really wants to understand right now, and that is the real reason why the previous generation of Baron Viger, his "father", died, and what does Adak's Sun Crown organization have to do with his "mother".
………………
After arriving in Koga City, Igonia needs to go to Elinta first, mainly to see if the mentor has returned, and the news sent by Lietis, etc.
As a local wizard organization in Koga City related to the country, Alinta was one of the first to receive news from the north... No one knew what the situation in the north was like after the incident in the Tacoma area.
Of course, another purpose is to collect information about the Sub-Sun Crown...
"Then I'll go first and come back to see you later."
"Well, it's okay. Come find me at Scovey's Store when the time comes." After arriving in Koga City, Sean usually stayed at Claude's place. After such a long period of preparation, Scovey's Store had actually become a base for communication between the town and Koga City.
Any news from the carriages coming from the town would be directly passed to Scovey's gun shop...
After parting with Igonia, Sean did not go to Scovi's store immediately, but instead thought about going to the manor of Alia Hamilton, where he had delivered the letter for help.
After she lost the fight for the succession, she was driven out of the Earl's Mansion. The new Earl of Hamilton gave her a manor and some money. This former sister lived out her retirement in the northern suburbs outside the city, which was actually no different from being driven away directly.
The roads in the northern part of the city are not as prosperous as those in the east. Most of them are old houses and civilian areas. No wonder Alia couldn't stand it and finally asked for help from me. This direction is probably the poorest place in Koga City.
Pedestrians were hurrying along, and it was broad daylight, but there were few people on the dirty streets.
In the alley, several people looked towards him stealthily...
Sean subconsciously reached into his belt and fumbled for his musket. He didn't want the Eye of Ghroth to appear unless it was absolutely necessary. It was better to do it himself if he could decide something by himself. After all, it was a power that he could not understand.
However, the people in the alley just kept looking back at him without reacting at all...
Instead, some [communication!], [whispering!], and even [praying!] states will appear above their heads.
It feels more like a gathering of believers than robbers!
