The little girl looked at Gao Wen in a daze, and asked curiously, "Do you know my name?"

Gawain smiled and gently stroked the little girl's hair: "You seem to know me too."

"You are Gao Wen, the great hero from a long time ago!" the little girl said happily, but her voice was hoarse, very different from the crisp and sweet voice in the dream world, "Dad told me about you before. The story... the maids are saying, you've come to the castle..."

The little girl was talking, but her breath was a little bit out of tune, so she stopped and started to gasp. She seemed to be so excited that she forgot her physical condition. Gawain hurriedly said, "Speak slowly, don't worry, I'm in a hurry. to stay here for a while."

"My God..." Amber's voice came from behind Gawain at this time. The half-elf had an unbearable expression on his face, and his tone was full of astonishment, "How could she be like this..."

The maid standing behind the chair bowed her head, looking terrified in front of Lady Ropeney: "I'm sorry, mistress, but Miss Patty..."

"I know," the Countess looked at her daughter, but her tone was full of helplessness, "bring the lady back to the room to rest."

Patty immediately tried to raise her head: "But Mom, I want to..."

"Be obedient, go back to the room to rest." Countess Ropeni emphasized again, and then glanced at Gawain hesitantly. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Gawain took the initiative to approach the little girl and said, "Listen to your mother, go back first. Rest, I'll see you."

"You must come!" Patty blinked her big eyes and looked at Gawain, she didn't know that this was the "Uncle Selcy" she had seen many times in the mind network, and she was just responding to a story from the story. The "protagonist" who came out from here is full of interest.

Facing the little girl's expectations, Gawain just smiled and nodded.

The maid left with Patty, using the specially made chair that looked like some kind of rudimentary wheelchair, Gawain watched their figures disappear into the deep corridor of the castle, and then turned to look at Countess Ropeney : "How did she become like this?"

The Countess obviously didn't want to bring up this topic, and her answer was vague: "When she was young, she suffered a fire."

"Fire?" Gawain shook his head, "Is it the accident that happened to Viscount Roman Grant..."

Romain Glenn is the husband of Ropeney Glenn,

The previous lord of the Viscounty Glenn, the young nobleman who was described by nobles and bards as "crazy, arrogant, and cursed".

Luo Penny's expression was obviously a little stiff, and her eyes followed with a hint of indifference and alienation. She turned to the door of the banquet hall and took a breath: "Lord Duke, we shouldn't make the guests wait too long."

"A dance party can last until dawn, and during the time when the host leaves the venue, a butler will take care of everything," Gawain said indifferently behind Luo Penny, "We may be able to talk about the Land Act and the Free Civil Law."

Luo Peini stopped and turned her head to stare at Gawain's eyes.

Gawain said lightly: "Let the people inside wait. Their time is not precious."

"I am not interested in the topics you bring up," said the Countess. "Those are the products of failure and error."

Gao Wen looked at the other party with a half-smile but not a smile: "Aren't you curious why your husband failed back then?"

Luo Penny was silent for a moment, then waved to the housekeeper who had just come outside the hall to observe the situation, and only looked at Gawain after ordering some things: "We can go to the study on the second floor. But I still want to emphasize the things I want to talk about with you. I'm no longer interested."

Gawain and Amber followed behind the Countess, and soon came to the study on the second floor of the castle. In this study, Gawain once again saw the portrait of Viscount Romain Glenn, the smiling young man in the frame. Sitting in the room, it seems that he is still working in this study.

But what makes Gawain more embarrassing is that there is another painting hanging opposite the portrait of Viscount Romain Grant. It is him... standing on a high hill with the sword of the pioneer and the shield of the guardian. Yu Xuan looked forward with awe, which was the most widely circulated image of Gawain Cecil.

Amber immediately poked Gawain's waist behind him: "Hey, look, you are hanging on the wall!"

Gawain quietly avoided Amber's fingers, and said awkwardly, "I thought everyone had taken my portrait off the wall after I got up..."

"My husband regards you as an idol," Countess Ropeni said lightly, "after he left, this study has always maintained its original furnishings."

Gao Wen nodded silently, walked to the desk, and tapped on the table lightly: "Did he write the free civil law here back then?"

"As I said, it was the product of failure and mistakes, and the facts later proved everything," Ropeney said indifferently, "So that's what you really came here for? Not to meet new neighbors, nor to meet new neighbors. Not to talk about business, but to discuss the mistakes my husband made during his lifetime?"

"No, the original purpose of my coming here was really just to visit, and after learning something about Viscount Romain Grande, I also became interested in his life, but I don't think it can be done with a simple Two wrong words to sum up everything about him."

Gawain said leisurely, the deeds of Viscount Romain Glenn, which had been investigated by Amber in his mind, were slowly pieced together in his mind. After erasing those parts that were deliberately distorted and misinterpreted by the ignorant world, The image of a reform pioneer gradually emerged in his mind.

"Prohibit all slave trade, liberate all serfs and slaves on the territory into free people; re-measure the land, seize all unlawful, unjust, unregistered land and distribute it to the new free people; allow anyone to do business, work, Hunting, reclamation, and the abolition of the untouchable restriction law in the territory, allowing freed slaves to learn craftsmanship and become craftsmen; abolish the privilege of the children of nobles to become knights, so that commoners and children of nobles can accept the selection of knight apprentices..."

Gawain said one by one, watching Ropeney Glen's expression become gloomy a little bit, and finally he shook his head: "It's all great ideas."

That's right, this is the information about Viscount Romain Glenn that Gawain had after the investigation and sorting of the MIB.

A pioneer who stood up before he opened the coffin and tried to change this era.

Ten years ago, a young southern nobleman woke up. He saw the darkness and filth hidden under the prosperity with a different eye from ordinary people, realized the backwardness of the current system in Ansu, and realized the influence of the aristocratic system on this society. Restrictions, aware of the unprovoked oppression of the commoners by various traditional laws, and the wasted productivity in the process of oppression, he may even have realized the power of the people or at least the "value" of the people.

Then he launched reforms, and carried out reforms with the spirit of young people.

In the initial stage, the strong authority of the lord and the slowness and clumsiness of the old aristocratic system allowed his reformation to start smoothly, and he implemented new decrees in some territories, and reaped some results...

But this initial phase was unusually short.

The force of the rebound is extremely fierce, and almost no one understands what this young nobleman has done. He has been dubbed "insanity", "deviant", and "bewitched by the devil". Almost in the blink of an eye, young The promising viscount became the evil spokesperson who destroyed the order of the kingdom and corrupted the nobility, and almost half of the southern border was criticizing him.

The records after that became vague and cluttered, and there was no reliable word or unreliable bard to describe what happened after that, and Amber only found the last of Viscount Romain Grain from a book of poems scattered among the people. End:

"On that stormy night, the Viscount crawled into his proving ground. He wanted to continue to seek forbidden knowledge to fill his ever-thirsty stomach, but fortunately the gods stopped it in time and sent a holy messenger to end it. The madness of the Viscount, a fire fell from the sky, and the purified flames were brilliant!"

The book of poems is probably the work of some daring bard, and such a daring bard... I am afraid that he has already been hanged in some square, and it is impossible to find its source.

But Ropeney Grant still remembers what happened then:

"The mob rushed into the castle. They were dressed in mercenary and civilian clothes, mixed with knights and mages with extraordinary abilities. They rushed up the mountain, broke the gate, and rushed into the inner hall. The knights and mages who were supposed to guard the castle were at the key. The moment is gone, my husband can only face the thugs alone...until the magic center of the castle explodes," Luo Peini said with a cold face, "then, the thugs suddenly stopped, and reinforcements from the surrounding lords rushed in in time. Arrived, ping ping ping ping pong scuffles, the thugs retreated, my husband died, and my daughter was dying..."

Gawain looked into Luo Peini's eyes: "Because it is necessary to maintain the dignity of the nobles, the mob can storm the castle and kill the nobles, but they must never capture the castle, and they cannot destroy a surname, so the people behind the scenes must jump out at a critical moment. After the mob has finished the attack, they will appear as the messengers of justice and clear all disgraceful evidence."

"You really have bright eyes," Luo Peini sneered, "then do you know what happened after that?"

"In a settlement and transaction, you expressed your will to return to the right path, and the nobles announced that the Viscount Romain Grande was only cursed by the devil, so his temperament changed greatly. The mob who stormed the castle was found guilty, and hundreds of people were hanged in On the walls of Glen Castle, the bodies were dried and thrown off the cliffs justice was done and order was back on track, at least that's what people thought."

Countess Ropeni suddenly gritted her teeth, and the muscles on her cheeks trembled uncontrollably: "Do you know who those who attacked the castle and were hanged were?"

Gao Wen was expressionless: "The only people who can be caught and convicted are ordinary people without extraordinary power, those knights and mages mixed in the crowd, those who really made great efforts, ran away as early as the beginning, so Those who were hanged were the serfs who had acquired the land, the commoners who were allowed to do business, and the hunters and craftsmen who had become rich after the implementation of the new law. On the gates of the castle, there were not only the marks of swords and slashes, but also pitchforks. And the dent from the hoe, that's solid evidence."

"Those people are guilty!" Ropeni Glen gritted her teeth, the indifference she had been trying to maintain until now was finally broken, after learning that Gawain had investigated everything and was the one who knew the truth, she finally stopped hiding anything, "Those who Those who benefited, those who were freed, they were the mob! They should be hanged, if not death, only once, I even wish they were resurrected and hanged by me again!"
