what happened……
Ashley felt completely stunned.
Flame...high temperature...shouldn't they be afraid of it?
Why are you so happy to hear that I have fire?
What on earth are they thinking???
"Oh! Fellow countrymen!"
After celebrating happily, the giant bent down and spoke to Ashley very politely.
It's finally back to normal...
Ashley breathed a sigh of relief.
Their attitude has obviously improved a lot... Maybe they are scared now that they know I have the means to destroy them...
Yes, that's how it should be.
As for why they seemed so happy before, maybe it was because they misunderstood the definition of happiness?
"Can you please light us on fire?"
"Okay- wait, what did you say????"
The young knight widened her eyes and took a step back, wondering if she was dreaming.
what?
Ah? ? ?
What did it just say to me?
"We want fire!"
The giant nodded vigorously and emphasized it to her again.
"Because of us..."
"All the subjects of Babis-Brend have always abided by that agreement!"
"We need to let Amen-Haven know we are here, so we need to be able to pass the flame and emit light so that she can see us from outside the gray fog."
“But it’s so hard!”
"We have to... hide from those weird things... and try to keep this memory alive. This almost exhausts all our abilities. We really can't keep the flame alive."
"Although we tried to save ourselves by using ourselves as 'fuel', it lasted too long...the last spark of fire was extinguished."
"We were almost in despair! And now fate has sent you to us!"
"A fellow with fire!"
"A 'man' who brings fire!"
The giant said a lot of things in one breath... It was completely immersed in the passionate emotion and didn't notice the changing emotions on Ashley's face as it spoke.
"So can you help us?"
It looked at this tiny "person".
"We want liberation...we want redemption."
"Aimen-Haven promised us."
"Please help us."
"Compatriots?"
"Compatriots..."
Chapter 35: The Lost Dynasty: Babisbrund (Two in One)
"The Lost Dynasty, Babisbrund."
The low and melodious voice floated towards the lawn, and then was transmitted closely into the ears of the owner of the voice.
At the cemetery in Hitzfeld Manor, the two hostesses sat in the sun to rest. The tall one of them rested her head on the other's thigh, her eyes closed, enjoying listening to the other's recitation.
so comfy.
I can live like this for ten thousand years, forever and ever... As long as she is with me, I can hold on.
Yes, there will be no loneliness as long as she is there.
"Strange name..." Hitzfeld frowned slightly when he read this, because it sounded too much like a person's name. Could it be that the customs of the kingdoms in Ceres Continent are different from here? They all like to use the monarch's name to name the country?
"At least it's not difficult to pronounce, it feels okay." Xia Yibing commented with her eyes closed, "What about the rest? There must be a reason why they copied this part down."
This document was sent by Sind with great difficulty. The two used it as a medium to verify their ideas, but they did not read the contents carefully. After coming out of the flashback, they rested because they were exhausted. After resting, Hitzfeld said that it was not good to stay in the bedroom all the time, so the two asked Walnut to prepare food and drink and took them to the lawn to simulate a spring outing.
There is no such thing as a spring outing in Namibia, and this is what I heard from Hitzfeld.
"Don't be impatient, there are still a lot." Hitzfeld held the book in one hand and touched the woman's face with the other hand, gently pinching her nose.
"'Babis-Brund is both a dynasty and a monarch. He is the last king of the Eastern Kingdom of God. His ancestors once commanded a fleet to fight against the Serran people on the sea. If that man had not risen too quickly, Brund would have had the opportunity to become the ruler of the four seas.'"
"Which four seas are you talking about?" Xia Yibing opened her eyes.
"It should be... the area between Ikalolin and Ceres is one sea, and the North Pole and the South Pole are two seas. The rest is further east of Ceres and further west of Ikalolin. There should be another sea there."
Hitzfeld laughed halfway through his estimate. "It's possible that this is just a general statement. The numbers recorded in ancient documents cannot be taken seriously."
Seran is similar to her native language in some ways, and her native language also has this usage of "three-nine algebra", so she doesn't intend to spend too much time on such details.
"It would be great if Yusirian was here." Xia Yibing's nose was pinched, so she could only make a muffled and funny sound. "She knows the most about this kind of unofficial history. I don't understand why she doesn't want to stay and help."
"Is this hard to understand?" Hitzfeld said with a little more force, his tone becoming dry. "You haven't forgotten what she lost in the war, have you... huh?"
"Stop pinching me...I'm just complaining...it hurts!"
It actually doesn’t hurt at all.
Pursing his lips, Hitzfeld let go of her, held the book in both hands, and continued reading.
"'The people of Thres are brave and aggressive, but they value their promises the most. This trend has hindered the people of Thres from embracing real war. They are used to forming a square formation and charging head-on, going back and forth three times to decide the winner.'"
Then they really can't defeat the Seran people.
Hitzfeld thought.
According to other documents, the continent of Icarolin has been fought from ancient times to modern times. The war was only stopped after the appearance of the gray fog. The rest of the time was a process of war and integration, and the dog brains were beaten out.
What about the Thres people? Their war sounds too elegant. They just gather together to fight head-on, and sometimes they even have to "fight generals". Of course, they can't beat the cunning - oh, should I say resourceful - Thrans.
"Lack of competition." Xia Yibing commented, "It's not like there aren't similar examples in Icarolin, but that's probably because of the close blood relationship."
For example, some allied countries, a loose big country composed of more than a dozen small countries. Because it is loose, its power cannot be gathered to form an effective force to resist foreign enemies. But at the same time, it is stable. Compared with other geographies where so many countries coexist, at least they can form an alliance, and this is all because the ruling classes of these countries intermarry with each other.
Even if you are forced to attack each other, if you realize that the enemy on the battlefield may be one of your relatives, you generally will not kill him.
"Maybe that's why the name of their country is so long." Hitzfeld raised his eyebrows. "It actually uses 'God's Kingdom' to describe the Brund family... I don't understand. Do they also have gods?"
"show me!"
Xia Yibing reached up and forcibly snatched the parchment scroll from Hitzfeld's hands.
Hitzfeld pinched her cheeks in dissatisfaction and pulled and rubbed them, but he couldn't stop her from reading the following words in a distorted voice.
"'The Eastern Kingdom of God, Babis-Brund... They are located further east than Seran, which means they see the sun earlier than Seran...'"
"I am now certain that the original author of this passage is a Seres person." Xia Yibing said, "This is too shameless."
Who would whitewash an inflexible war as "moral"?
Do we have to rank the natural phenomenon of time cycles?
The known world is a sphere, so if we start counting from this morning, the sun in Icarolin will always rise earlier than in other places.
Can this also be ranked in order? This is simply sophistry... If it weren't for the people of Ceres, it would be impossible to record history in this way. The emphasis on exonerating oneself is too obvious. In Xia Yibing's opinion, such content is completely worthless.
"Give it to me!" Hitzfeld tried to snatch the parchment back. "It's for you! Give it to me!"
"Don't be impatient..." The people of Ceres lost the war with Serran. As a punishment, all sea routes were closed to them. They were not allowed to go out to sea or communicate with overseas. The ocean, which once symbolized freedom, trapped them in a cage. They kept begging and repenting, but they didn't move that cruel guy. For nearly half a century, the people of Ceres seemed to be forgotten by history. But it was also because of this that the most truth was preserved there..."
After quickly reading this paragraph in one breath, Xia Yibing turned over and deliberately pushed the girl over with her back, then pressed her upper body roughly on her lower abdomen, causing her to sprain her abdomen twice, which was very comfortable.
Are you treating me as a bed?
No matter how good-tempered Hitzfeld was, she would be unhappy if she was mocked like this. She had long discovered that Xia Yibing would use her personality to tease her in order to make her angry.
Because the other party thinks she is very cute when she is angry, and people can't help but want to provoke her.
Maybe I should be more angry... otherwise if I keep putting up with her she will only go further and further.
But how to give birth?
Lying on the prickly grass, feeling the slight itch on his back and the heavy pressure on his lower abdomen, Hitzfeld thought for a moment and decided to sit up and put the woman's head on his thighs as a pillow.
Xia Yibing was stunned. She raised her head and rolled her eyes, meeting the girl's gentle gaze.
"You are a person who never grows up... I really can't get angry with you..."
Reaching out to help the other person tidy up his hair, Hitzfeld smiled helplessly.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you when I say this. Ever since she... that happened, I've been thinking to treat every day I spend with everyone I know as if it were my last day."
“Because we are all different.”
"I can't treat you differently because of this."
"You still haven't come out of it." Xia Yibing sighed.
She knew that these should be Coldis and Laurel. The departure of those two people had a profound impact on the girl.
It is hard to say that this is "hurt" because the departure of both people brought some profound meaning. Hitzfeld has grown and matured further in this meaning, but she must be feeling bad.
Just like in the flashback before, Hitzfeld expressed his fear of "eternal life".
It is precisely because she always thinks of "treating every day as the last day" that this fear is so deep...
As for the difference in treatment, it is just one of the most basic virtues she has. She doesn't like double standards. She won't think it doesn't matter if I hurt or ignore her just because I have the same time as her. She won't think "because I have enough time to deal with the relationship, it doesn't matter how I ignore it."
So she also gave me this kind of "cherishing".
But I always think——
What a headache...
Xia Yibing suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
The people who are best at understanding people's hearts always get hurt the most. I am really stressed out by her behavior, and I have to be careful even when I bully her...
"I think it would be easier if someone could read it for me."
With her face flushed, Xia Yibing began her performance.
She handed the parchment back to the girl and said, "You should come. Your voice is more pleasant to hear."
The little emotional episode would have ended there, but Xia Yibing keenly noticed the slight curve in Hitzfeld's mouth after he took the paper roll.
Ok?
She was deliberately playing on my guilt—
The woman was furious after discovering the truth. She flipped over and threw the girl to the ground. She rode on her as she screamed, pinched the ticklish flesh around her waist with both hands and began to exert force.
Hitzfeld tried to resist at first, and even threw away the paper roll and tried to strangle her, but he was soon defeated in the confrontation. He folded his hands beside his head in a surrender posture, trembling and trying to hold back his laughter while begging for mercy.
"Okay... I'm just using my own method..."
"Stop pinching...it's too itchy...I can't stand it anymore..."
"Haha...I was wrong..."
“I won’t dare to do that next time… ah…!”
Xia Yibing didn't let go until she begged for mercy and admitted her mistake.
Looking down at the beautiful girl lying on the lawn with disheveled hair and panting, she suddenly felt that this experience was quite good.
and many more.
Thinking of another possibility, the heat in her heart instantly cooled down.
