Chapter 8 Seeing the Sun Again

Although he only spent less than a day with this nominal great-great-great-great-granddaughter, Gawain still had a very deep impression on Rebecca, and more than once wondered if the child's head was damaged when he was a child. something caught...

It stands to reason that even if the elite education that noble children must receive is not mentioned, her identity as a spellcaster can almost prove her IQ. After all, it is not something that ordinary people can master... …

On the other hand, other people are not in the mood to pursue the problem of Rebecca's inability to speak, and even Heidi, who has always been strict with Rebecca, has only deep worries at this moment: "You mean ... appearing in Sisi Are you leading those monsters from 700 years ago?"

Gawain sighed: "Looking at how unfamiliar you are with those monsters, I think you haven't seen them for hundreds of years."

"The years of war with monsters after the end of the pioneering period are already history," Hetty shook his head gently, "Although there are records in the history books, the most recent records are at least 600 years ago... According to what I have learned, The monsters roaming from the wasteland of the ancient empire did harass Anzu for a long time, but since the elves helped humans build those sentry towers, those monsters have become a legend..."

Gawain frowned slightly: "The tower of the sentinel... The things built by the elves won't go wrong so easily."

"This matter must be told to His Majesty the King," Rebecca suddenly clenched her fists and said with a serious face, "Monsters that disappeared hundreds of years ago suddenly reappeared in the empire, someone must hurry up and send the information back. .And Cecil suffered heavy losses from this unwarranted disaster, we...we must turn to the royal family for help..."

Gawain thought about his great achievements in those years, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, with the Cecil family's status in Ansu and the influence I left behind, I think Saint Sunil City must be I will spare no effort to help you rebuild your territory."

But he didn't expect that as soon as he said these words, Heidi and Rebecca's faces not only did not show reassurance, but their expressions became very strange.

Gawain was at a loss: "Uh... what's going on?"

Could it be that after 700 years, the name of the legendary founding archduke Gawain Cecil is no longer recognized in this country?

"Ancestor..." Heidi's face looked extremely ugly. She bit her lip several times before she seemed to finally make up her mind, "Actually, I wanted to tell you something when I was in the tomb, but... I really can't say it."

Gao Wen had vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he still nodded: "Go ahead, I'm listening."

"The glory of the Cecil family is gone. Although you are still considered by the kingdom to be the legendary founding grand duke, but..." Hetty gave Rebecca a somewhat embarrassed look, "but now Rebecca, who inherits the family title Ka, it's just a viscount, this Cecil territory... is also the last territory of the family."

Gawain was stunned: "...Huh?! How can I remember that I was already a duke when I 'died', and it was hereditary? The territory extends from Cecil Land all the way to the Holy Spirit Plain... ...What on earth did the descendants of Cecil do? Assassinate the king to kill the car or raise an army to rebel?"

Heidi bowed his head in shame: "...A lot of things can happen in seven hundred years, so does the family, and so does this country. Today's Ansu is no longer the first dynasty, but the second dynasty, and the Cecil family is no longer the same. It is a vassal official who supports the royal family, but a person who is stigmatized and exiled by the royal family."

Rebecca next to him took Hetty's words: "One hundred years ago, the last king of Ansu's first dynasty, Dalyan III, died of a sudden illness without leaving any heirs. Even the succession of Darien III itself is controversial, and after the death of the king, the queen and the regents failed to control the situation in time,

As a result, the 'Mistorium Unrest'.

"The members of the royal family with collateral succession fought for the throne in the foggy moon of Ansu 635. In the third week of the end of the foggy moon, the palace struggle intensified into a civil war. The members of the royal family and the great nobles standing behind them began to directly fight. The armed confrontation - the Cecil family is also involved in it...

"The culprit was the Marquis of Grumman. At that time, Archduke Cecil was old, but still very healthy, and his relationship with his eldest son, Grumman Cecil, was very tense. Marquis Grumman probably felt the crisis. ... then secretly planned and participated in the civil war that year. Because he had not yet inherited the power of the family and did not have enough appeal, Marquis Grumman hit his idea on the legendary ancestor..."

Gawain covered his forehead: "I remember, my shield was for him to take away, right?"

Heidi nodded and continued speaking for Rebecca: "Marquis Grumman first placed the then Grand Duke Cecil under house arrest, and then took your sacred relic, the Ansu Kingdom Guardian Shield, from the ancestral tomb, Then, in the name of the heir to the Cecil family, he announced his support for Prince Tosh. In March of the same year, Prince Tosh was assassinated to death, and then the Marquis of Grumman quickly announced his support for Prince Fidic. In April of the same year, Prince Fidic committed suicide... "

Gao Wen: "..."

But this is not the end, Hetty has something to say: "After that, Marquis Grumman found another uncle of Dalyan III, he used his excellent eloquence to facilitate the alliance, but after that the second In March, the Grand Duke of the North, who had never been involved in the civil war, announced that Ren Wilder suddenly pushed a boy onto the stage and announced that the boy was the illegitimate son of the previous king. Then the Grand Duke of the North took this as a bargaining chip to participate in the civil war, and at Ansu 636 The foggy moon of 2019 ended the civil war. On the eve of the end of the civil war, Marquis Grumman tried to repeat his old tricks and declared his allegiance to the new king, but before he could make a statement, he was attacked by both the enemy and our party on the battlefield at the same time, and he died. under the knife.

"After that, it's the Ansu Second Dynasty. Of course, the term 'Second Dynasty'... is still a sensitive topic."

At this time, Amber, who had been listening to the silent speech, suddenly said: "The whole farce only lasted for a year, but the order of the entire kingdom has been reshuffled... Who doesn't know this part of the whole continent? history?"

"Because the last one who ascended the throne was an illegitimate child, this war was also called the illegitimate child war in private," Hetty said. "The number of great nobles involved in the civil war was large, so a considerable number of families were implicated. But this is still a part of the nobility rules. In addition, the country was extremely chaotic at the beginning of the Second Dynasty. The new king urgently needed to clean up the order, and this required the strength of the old nobility. Therefore, most of the families were not killed, except …”

"Except for those who jumped the hardest, right?" The corner of Gawain's mouth twitched uncontrollably. This whole history made him, an elder who had been looking down on the world for hundreds of thousands of years, felt great discomfort and could only sigh. Sure enough, life is more exaggerated than novels - novels also talk about basic logic, why is the Marquis of Grumman so talented, "I guess there is no more tossing than Grumman Cecil?"

"After that, the Cecil family was in a state of decline," Hetty lowered her head, "the fate of the original family may have been worse, but your fame and the efforts of the old man of the year have finally saved the family's bloodline and last point. Root, it's just that the name 'Cecil' has never been the center of the kingdom since then, as you can see..."

Gawain followed Hetty's line of sight and looked at Miss Rebecca Cecil whose brain was caught.

Rebecca noticed Gawain's gaze and turned her head: "Master Ancestor?"

"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate..." Gawain covered his forehead. Although he was not the true ancestor of the Cecil family, the marquis of Grumman's brilliant record and bizarre deeds have reached the level of shocking people who heard it. Even if he listened to the audience, he was moved to the point of tears, "Also, that prodigal lost my shield..."

Heidi & Rebecca: "..."

The old ancestor scolded the great grandfather again, and it is better not to speak when a junior.

Fortunately, Gawain was not the real party involved in the incident, so he quickly adjusted his mentality - which in Hetty's opinion became an astonishing broad-mindedness - and then shook his head slightly: "Forget it, pursue these past events. It is not beneficial to the current situation. In any case, those monsters that reappear are a huge threat to the human world. The king of San Sunil City can ignore the declining Cecil family, but he has to pay attention to those monsters, so he must pay attention to us who survived this disaster."

Heidi nodded vigorously: "What you said is very true."

After that, Gawain lost his interest in speaking. The dark and cramped underground passage was killing everyone's desire to talk. All that was left was to speed up and continue on the road.

Fortunately, the straight underground passage can cross the entire Cecil Territory at the fastest speed. The nearest exit is not too far from the castle. After rushing for a while, Gawain judged from memory that they had arrived at a place. suitable outlet.

Under the blessing of the earth element, the ancient tunnel stairs did not collapse at all, and it was even more fortunate that the exit near the exit was not completely buried by earth and stone. After removing some tree roots, vines and floating soil that blocked the exit, the fresh air finally disappeared for a long time. blowing on everyone's face.

See you again.

Knight Byron led the soldiers to jump out of the hole first, and after they sent a safety signal, the others rushed out. After Rebecca climbed to the ground, she took a deep breath and whispered happily, "Let's come out!"

Gawain followed Rebecca to the ground, his excitement was no less than the latter, or even more.

A vast world.

His first reaction was to raise his head and look at the sky.

Unfortunately, the world outside at the moment is night.

But he should also be grateful for this night, allowing him to see this otherworldly starry sky for the first time.

There was a little white light on the horizon, and the approaching dawn made the stars in the sky appear thin and dim.

Complete strangers.

The white light on the horizon is getting brighter and brighter, the night has passed, and the dawn is coming. Everyone who escaped from the underground tunnel is now immersed in the joy of the rest of their lives, and Gawain is even more joyful. Facing the direction of the rising sun with excitement, he opened his hands as if to embrace the sun of this new world.

Then he saw an unprecedentedly huge luminous arc sprayed with a faint mist of light gradually rising to the horizon, filling the world with light.

That's not the sun.
