"If hanging those ignorant people can correct all mistakes, then the world is too kind," Gawain couldn't help shaking his head with a smile when he heard Luo Penny's words, "They are just being encouraged, or Just an accomplice who took advantage."

"But they're more hateful than the principals," Ropeney Glenn said coldly. "My husband fought traditions and rules for them, and made a decent life for those who would have spent their entire lives rolling in the mud. but they were deceived by a little lie, or bought by a little money, and turned into a mob, to rob the property in the castle and attack their lord!"

Amber heard the present, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, she stared at Gawain and Luo Penny in a stunned voice: "Wait a minute, what you mean is that most of the mob who attacked the castle at the beginning were actually attacked by Viscount Roman. Helper?!"

"Of course, this is my inference based on your investigation results," Gawain nodded, "and it's similar to what I expected at first. After knowing the specific actions of the Viscount Roman and the subsequent incident of the mob attacking the castle After that, I knew it was going to develop like that.”

Luo Peini looked at Gawain in disbelief. At this time, she had calmed down a little from the excitement of her old injury, and she couldn't help but wonder what Gawain's real purpose was today: "Why do you say that?"

Gawain did not directly answer Countess Lopeney's question, but threw a new question: "Want to know why your husband failed?"

Luo Peini was stunned and took a deep breath. She wanted to regain control of the topic: "Why should I discuss these past events with you?"

"If you can understand the laws that Cecil is currently implementing, you probably won't have this problem," Amber next to him said, "Cecil's territory... is currently gradually liberating serfs and slaves, and the land Allocations are also in sync..."

"My husband has already failed at this once, and I didn't expect anyone else to do the same thing," Ropeney Grant stared at Gawain, "Now you know what happened here a few years ago, so the most important thing is Well, let's stop in time, this kind of deviant move..."

"This kind of deviant action is not wrong in itself. Your husband's failure is that he did three other things wrong," Gawain shook his head and directly interrupted Luo Peini's words, "First, he is too fast, second, he The fist is not hard, and thirdly, he keeps the people ignorant."

As he spoke, he turned to the wall behind the desk, and looked at Viscount Roman Grant smiling faintly in the painting on the wall.

"He was a pioneer,

A pioneer of reform, but like many pioneers, he made serious mistakes. He tried to correct the mistakes in the current Ansu system and unleash the power of the people, but he did not make a reasonable plan. He directly put all the reforms together and did not think about the mutual influence and impact of these decrees. interaction, did not think of the gradual nature of social transformation, so his reforms would make a mess of the order - if I am not mistaken, the serfs and slaves who were suddenly freed caused chaos at the initial stage because they had neither land And no property, so your husband had to implement the land distribution without being prepared, which led to even more chaos.

"Secondly, he did not have enough strength to resist those rebounding forces. He did not first ensure an armed force of his own, and did not carefully consider how much resistance the traditional nobles who were influenced by him would make after their interests were damaged. .

"Finally, and most deadly - he didn't tell those who were given freedom and land, the 'why' it was all about."

Gawain stopped here and turned his head to Ropeney Glenn: "The arrogance of the nobles still bound his eyes, so he didn't take a close look at the civilians at the bottom, and didn't understand their thoughts, insights, logic, but take it for granted that those people will understand this great cause as well as himself. His original intention of handing over the land and many rights to the people is to let the people live a good life, but in the eyes of the people at the bottom, this is just It is another 'almsgiving' performed by the nobles in the upper class - the lord can give alms, others can also give alms, the lord's benefits can be taken, and the benefits of others can still be taken."

Luo Peini muttered to herself: "...how could they think like this..."

"Why can't they think like this? Didn't they come here like this for the past few hundred years? Thunder and rain are the gifts of the nobles. The pariahs don't need to think about it, they just need to bear it silently. For hundreds of years, this society ruled by the nobles is He taught them that," Gawain snorted softly, "so I'm sure that when they were bewitched and stormed the castle, they would not have the slightest sense of guilt - but after the reckoning, you put them When they are sent to the gallows, they will not feel that they have been wronged in the slightest!"

The study was quiet, and for a long time, Luo Penny, Gawain, and Amber did not speak.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the Countess broke the silence: "So, you came here to talk to me about this? To let me understand how a disaster that broke out a few years ago happened?"

Gao Wen smiled lightly and shook his head slightly: "I just came to see a friend I've never met before."

He was referring to Patty, but Ropeney Grant would obviously understand Viscount Romain, but that didn't matter.

Gawain turned around again and seriously looked at the smiling Viscount Roman Grant in the portrait.

As he thought before, the world doesn't revolve around him as a traveler.

There will always be people who wake up, and there will always be people who do something deviant, just like the wild mages who studied the essence of magic decades ago, and Viscount Roman Grant who started the reform ten years ago.

That revolution failed. Due to lack of experience, limited vision, and ideological constraints, Roman Grant's implementation of the New Deal failed in just a few years. A typical curse, if it weren't for the aristocratic system to maintain its own face, Viscount Roman's fate would have been even worse - and his short-lived change has become a solo of a romantic utopian reformer, no one can Understand, no one even wants to record.

But pioneers do exist after all, and before Gawain lifted the coffin, there really was such a pioneer.

That's why Gawain came here and talked so much to Ropeney Glenn.

His original purpose was just to confirm the existence of Patty Grant and whether the land was also polluted by the Eternal Sleepers, but after Amber investigated the events that happened in Grantland many years ago, he temporarily changed A little planning.

He looked back and nodded slightly to Countess Ropeney: "Ma'am, if you really want to hang the murderers who killed your husband, then you should put away the noose and put it on the neck of the right person at the right time. superior."

Countess Lopeney looked into Gawain's eyes quietly: "But I'm afraid I don't have such a noose."

Gawain and her looked at each other for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "That's right, I have it."

Then he didn't wait for Ropeney's answer, but continued: "Can I go see Patty?"

"Of course," Ropeney Grant nodded, "she has always admired you."

"Then I can't keep my little admirer waiting too long," Gawain laughed, "Take me there."

Guided by the Countess, Gawain and Amber came to the door of the little girl Patty's room.

"She wasn't in good spirits a few days ago, but she has suddenly improved a little in the past few days," Luo Penny said as she stepped forward to open the door, "I probably heard the news that you are coming, so I'm very happy... My husband is still While alive, he used to tell Patty stories about you."

The wooden door decorated with yellow and white tassels was pushed open, and Gawain entered the room. He saw Patty's chair in the center of the room, and the little girl was staring out the window - through a very wide From the crystal window, she looked at the starry sky outside the castle.

This house has a lot of very wide windows, and the castle wall has obviously undergone a drastic transformation in this part - near the roof, Gawain even saw a skylight rarely seen in traditional castles, that one Skylights allow midday sun to flood the interior with ease.

"The doctor said she needs more sun exposure - the magic in the sun can soothe the itchiness of her skin," Ropeney said softly.

Gawain remembered what Patty had told himself in the city of dreams: She needed to enter the dream world to sleep well because her body was itchy and sore.

There is no sun at night.

At this time, Patty finally heard the movement at the door. The little girl's head shook, she turned to the direction of the door, and then a bright smile appeared on her face: "Uncle Gao Wen!"

Ropeney stepped forward quickly, turned Patty's chair around, and corrected: "It's Duke Gawain."

"It's the same as calling my uncle, so I feel like I'm more than seven hundred years younger all of a sudden," Gawain waved his hand with a smile, indicating that he didn't care, and then he came to Patty, "Look, it's like dating All right, I'm coming to see you."

The little girl blinked happily: "Yeah!"

Then she asked curiously: "Uncle, are you really resurrected? I heard from the maid that the great hero who founded the country was resurrected from the grave..."

Gawain turned his head, glanced at Amber with a half-smile, and then nodded to Patty: "Of course."

"It's really possible to be resurrected!" Patty looked surprised. "So can Dad? Dad likes to tell your stories! He must also want to see you..."

At the edge of Gawain's line of sight, Ropeney Grant's fingers gripping the back of the chair suddenly turned white with force.

"I don't know if your father can come back like me, but we'll all meet somewhere one day," Gawain stroked Patty's hair, "if he knew about you so early If you meet me, he will definitely envy you."
