"Is there any record about the stars returning to their positions?" Sean asked.
"I'm not very clear about this matter. I haven't seen the so-called Necronomicon myself, but I've heard about it through various oral traditions... Actually, it's quite boring. When I was an apprentice, I always loved studying the achievements of the forbidden system, alchemy, the Gate of Truth, and so on. These stories also came from those copied or passed down books." At this point, the alchemist, who had been silent until then, also showed an awkward feeling.
Who hasn't had a bit of a middle school age?
"Many things are achieved through finding a breakthrough in interests. If I didn't have a hobby like yours, I'm afraid you wouldn't be telling me about this today."
"Indeed..."
"Actually, when I heard about the incident in Tacoma, I didn't think much of it at first. I was just curious and wanted to come over to take a look... But yesterday..."
What happened yesterday was enough to overturn the impressions of many people. Not only Alphonse, but even Sean himself probably needed to seriously understand this world again.
Long ago, I was just an ordinary lord in a small town. Although my way of arriving was rather unusual, at least in my mind, my impression of the world was quite normal. It was nothing more than a different civilization, and a little more magic. But it wasn't until the incident in Koga City that my worldview changed...
But it wasn't until he saw everything yesterday that Sean realized the world might be more complex than he'd imagined. Demons, orcs. They'd all appeared, and he wondered if there were other unknown forms of life out there.
The imperial barrier, which was thought to be unbreakable, had two similar incidents in such a short period of time, and the entire country was unable to make much of a response.
So there was a moment, even if it was just a fleeting thought.
Sean felt that this country would likely be dragged down by this inexplicable attack in the short term... Although the two incidents occurred in remote areas of the empire, if the same Eye of Chaos and the same demonic goatmen appeared in the royal capital, he wondered if the "King's Guards" would be able to protect this country.
In fact, deep down, Sean doesn't want this country to fall, although in many time-travel novels he has read, the protagonists are mostly able to intimidate others, either by going to war or becoming independent.
Anyway, it's about being alone, free from all constraints, and surrounded by a harem. Of course, everyone wants this kind of life... but who can truly achieve it?
I remember that the Grand Duke and Ash had mentioned the rebels before, and they even seemed to be saying, overtly or covertly, that the Immortals were made up of the rebels that the Empire had failed to completely wipe out. The thing that this world lacks the least is jealous and hateful people. They might start complaining if things don't go their way, and gradually it becomes an obsession that they can't let go of.
So it doesn’t matter what position you hold, there will always be people who oppose you!
Even if there were no rebels, there would be hostility...
So if Sean had to choose, he would hope that this country would continue to exist, and then he would just be an idle aristocrat.
Of course, it would be better if it were a little bigger. After all, a noble that is too small cannot display its abilities in many areas.
Alphonse, who had been walking beside Sean, saw that Sean didn't respond, so he sometimes deliberately asked him more about the goat man, but the result was always the same.
have no idea.
How did they appear, how did they get here, and where did the original residents of the Tacoma area go?
No one present could really answer.
We can only keep moving forward, heading deeper into Tacoma City...
The fog had mostly dissipated by this time and was no longer as thick, but there was still some misty feeling, like that of a winter morning.
But in the end, the place I saw was farther away...
Sean has been paying attention to the time. Only half of the daylight is left, and he is getting anxious.
I don’t know what to do if those guys show up again at night?
beat……
I guess one or two would be fine, but if the biggest one follows, Sean doesn’t know if he can defeat it with his current fighting power.
According to common sense, they could have chased us yesterday, but the goat men seemed to have stopped taking any action after killing a group of mercenaries. They were like door gods, only responsible for the entrance to the Tacoma area, preventing people from coming in and then not chasing us.
It seems they want to lure people here...
It was very planned, as if someone was secretly plotting it behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Sean suddenly seemed to remember something, but at this moment a scream came from behind him.
"Ouch!"
"What?"
Everyone hurriedly turned around. After being shocked by what happened last night, almost everyone was in a state of tension.
"Here... help me..."
The sound came from behind a haystack on an abandoned farm somewhere.
At this moment, everyone was gradually approaching the small town near Tacoma City. Just like the city of Koga, there would be many small villages near the big city, including many small towns and perhaps residential areas on the road.
The farmer is one of them. The roads are lined with unripe wheat, some of which were soaked in water during the heavy rain and probably died.
The sound came from behind the haystack, probably from a mercenary who went to relieve himself.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Hurry, come and help me."
He ran out, dragging one leg and hopping, without even putting on his pants, and kept muttering.
"Damn it, who would set a trap in a place like this... Holy crap~ This is fucking deadly!"
Seeing one of his legs being bitten by the iron clamp, bleeding, he was still cursing...
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was just an ordinary trap.
"Who told you to go to someone else's house to find a place? Farmers will trap their men around to prevent thieves and livestock attacks. Aren't you asking for trouble by going in like this?" Someone in the team said unhappily.
At the same time, the prompt [Someone is approaching...] appeared in Sean's sight.
“Someone!”
The weapon turned in the direction indicated.
“Who is it?!”
"Who are you...put down your weapons."
There was a sound of weapons being turned.
"If you're smart, you'd better not move. We're all here. You..."
Several long-range soldiers armed with bows and arrows suddenly jumped out from the wheat field on the farm, and then stopped at this time.
"A mercenary?"
"You are... the Black Feather Knights?!"
This kind of equipment is very distinctive. It is covered with black metal armor, and the feather crown here is black, which is different from the one in Koga City. However, people who often live in Lietis can recognize it at a glance, and the other party can also recognize the people here at first glance.
