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, ...
"that……"
"Prince Sean, your highness?"
Looking at the elder in front of him whom he hadn't seen for a long time... Ross Leonard, and a very young female apprentice following him, Sean also knew this person.
I remember her name was Lilith Bristol.
"Long time no see, Scholar Ross." Sean greeted him with a smile.
Ross...
This was a person he had met two or three years ago. At that time, he was suddenly awarded the title of earl, and jumped from a small country baron to an earl in charge of a local city. The sudden title was unexpected to Sean, and it also gave a powerful counterattack to the Earl of Koga City who wanted to attack him.
Ross.
This person was the one who was sent from the capital of the Basaran Empire along with Aslant to help him build a new city.
Of course, Ascalante came as a guard for his relatives. As for the old man in front of him, he was the scholar and recorder of the empire at that time, in simple terms, a historian. The establishment of a city required the compilation of archives in the country, so he came at that time.
Later, when Oro City was initially established, he gathered the students of that time to help him create the first, and so far the most decent, sand table and map.
That's right.
The person standing in front of Sean at this moment was the scholar from that time, and the girl next to him, Lilith Bristol, was originally a student in Oro City. Before graduation, because she was interested in archaeology, Sean specially invited her to his house to show her research results.
Those students...
They were originally intended to be trained as the city's reserve force, and I guess Luke is doing the same now.
"Long time no see, Lilith!"
"Your Highness." The little girl was very respectful.
A long time has passed, and Sean, who didn't often interact with the other person, can't remember the other person's habits at that time. He remembers that the other person didn't seem so humble.
"Sean, are they?"
At this moment, Frelia and Melsusa, who were standing next to Sean, did not understand the identities of the two people in front of them. Judging from the communication between the two sides, they seemed to be acquaintances.
"Do you know him?"
"You probably know this person, or at least have heard of him... Scholar Ross Leonard, the recorder of the Bashalan Empire's Library of Scholars."
After all, Frelia has lived in Bashalan for so many years. Even if she doesn't know this person, she should have heard of this organization.
"It's an honor for me to meet Her Majesty the Red Dragon Witch here again." Ross bowed respectfully in front of Frelia.
The library of polymaths.
She knew this place, but Frelia was not very clear about the people inside.
"Are you really the scholar of Bashalan?" he asked again curiously.
"Of course, I have recorded many things in the empire, and of course I have occasionally heard stories about Her Majesty the Witch, whether when I was studying in the capital or when I was working in the city of Saidya..." Only these recorders can accurately describe the other party's experiences.
For a moment, Sean thought these people were so scary!
Even Frelia's expression looked a little unhappy.
"Then...why are you here?"
"I came here because I'm going to study with my tutor." It was Lilith who spoke.
"you."
Sean looked at each other.
A long time ago, when he was still the earl of Oro City, he valued this little girl's research on history and the records of those mysterious events, so he wanted to use her. At that time, there was no such thing as a recorder in his city, and he was eager to know any news about the ancient gods, so he had high expectations for her future.
"Actually, I have followed Mentor Ross for these years. I want to learn and record the entire history from him, just as His Royal Highness the Prince said at the beginning." She looked at Sean.
Lilith was not a noble, let alone a wealthy family. At most, her family conditions were slightly better than those of an ordinary farmer.
For such people, the praise of a powerful person is enough to influence the direction of their growth...
"So you've decided to become an Erudite?"
"Um."
Looking at the little girl, he nodded heavily.
"Then how did you end up in the fleet at Dansu Port?"
"We heard that it was Jagun's army, so we thought of traveling together!" said Ross.
According to the current territory, Oro City and Dansu are already part of Jagun's land... Sean had unknowingly incorporated the two pieces of land into the country's territory!
And precisely because Oro City now belongs to Jagun, Lilith, who is wandering outside, can completely exchange the conditions of Oro City residents for the opportunity to get on the ship. After all, the navy will not say anything as long as the citizens are their own citizens for such a long distance from the north and south continents. What's more, polymath is also a recognized and prestigious profession.
"There's nothing wrong with what Lilith said, but Scholar Ross, you don't seem to be from our country," Sean asked.
"Well……"
The old scholar hesitated.
"I did hide this from others, but my mentor has been working in Oro City all these years and has hardly ever returned to the imperial capital of Bashalan," Lilith explained.
After Sean left, the entire Bashalan Empire actually encountered various livelihood problems due to the aftermath of the war, especially in some northernmost areas where the situation was very serious. People had no food and the overall security was poor, resulting in a large number of refugees moving south. However, the south could not support so many people because it consumed a lot of money and food in the war.
