What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with 'Little Spot'?"

Toomi leaned closer. It was a brown desert horse with only a little white spot between the eyebrows. It was Grove's mount.

Speaking of it, Grove himself didn't intend to name it, and the name Xiaodian was called by Toya.

"It's nothing." Grove frowned, but his expression obviously didn't mean that.

Tomiya shrugged.Since he didn't cooperate anymore, he didn't have much to say, at least this time Grove answered.

Back at the caravan station, Dongya saw some new faces.Abel was also a little surprised to see Toya come back so early, "Tuoya? Why did you come back so early?"

"Hey, I'll be back after watching it, are they...?"

"They... are our compatriots."

It turned out that the ruins of this ancient country were not as uninhabited as he thought. Some Ishwar people who could not survive in Amistoris left the country and settled here. Every time a caravan passed by here, In order to bring them some living supplies.

It's just that unlike other Ishwar people in the caravan, the Ishwar people who settled here were very nervous when they saw Dongmi and Diarmuid, two non-black skins.

Although Toya likes to play pranks, he also treats people according to occasions. Seeing that people are so nervous, he can only scratch his cheeks, and return to the empty room for rest with Diarmuid.

The empty house has long been covered with yellow sand and dust. Anyway, the caravan did not plan to live here for a long time. After sweeping away the fly ash, they used the usual mats to spread on the ground.

Dongya and Diarmuid went out to visit the ruins as soon as they arrived here, so this is entirely Grove's shop - two people.

Fuyumi didn't intend to be polite to him, and lay down directly on it, "I can rest for a while before departure, go to sleep, Diarmuid."

Diarmuid nodded when he heard the words, and still found a corner to sit down and close his eyes to rest.

The black-skinned brother who came in from behind frowned, said nothing, and began to pack his luggage.

Grove finished tidying up his things, looked at the pair of master and servant who seemed to have fallen asleep, and didn't know whether he was asking or talking to himself: "...how much do you know about Ishwar..."

"Well, I only know that the Ishwar civil war happened a few years ago," said Toya, who was lying on the mat, opened his eyes, "Can you tell me about it?"

"You didn't fall asleep!?" Grove frightened, and glanced at Diarmuid who was motionless.

Fuyuya, who got up from the mat, shrugged, not saying that Diarmuid was probably awake, but he didn't open his eyes.

Now that the conversation has started, Grove also lowered his voice to narrate: "Forget it... As you can see, we are a race with brown skin and red eyes. We have our own traditions, culture and beliefs, and we also have our own words. Now most of the clansmen only use the mainland lingua franca.”

"Our race originally had no name, but because it has been living in the Ishwar region since ancient times—that is, the area near Ayerugo in the southeast of Amistoris today, it is called the Ishwar people. About 50 years Before, Amistoris annexed the Ishwar region and promoted a common language in the region, but still opened up a certain degree of autonomy to us."

This point can be understood by Fuyuya. Compared with the military country of Armis Doris, the economy of the Ishwar region cannot be said to be developed, but even if it suffers a defeat, the region with its own culture and traditions is not so easy to conquer. Suppression is the first step, and unifying the language is only the second step. The tradition of this race must be eroded and eliminated step by step before it can be said to be a real conquest.

Of course, on the other hand, the Ishwar people will not sit still.

This is a tug of war between the two cultures.

During this period, among the Ishwar people, there are reformers who realize their backwardness, learn from more advanced civilizations, and absorb nutrients in order to strengthen themselves, and there are also conservatives who think that this kind of learning will cause their own traditions to be lost, and resist with all their strength. group.

On the Amistoris military side, there are also moderates who hope for a smooth transition, and radicals who plan to conquer the Ishwar region by force and power.

If there is no accident, whether it is moderate or radical, after a few years, it will probably be Armestorius who annexed Ishwar smoothly in the end. There is no other reason, just because——Ishvar is too poor.

However, an accident happened.

A military officer of the moderate Armistorian faction shot and killed an Ishwar child.

Although the moderate officer who shot the gun was immediately sent back to the country for a military trial and was shot immediately, the civil war in Ishwar, which lasted for seven years, started like this.

Compared with Armes Doris, which is well-equipped and founded with an army, Ishwar's military strength is naturally at a disadvantage. It can last for so long. Ayerugo, who wanted to cause trouble for neighboring countries, secretly funded Ishwar.

However, when the military began to face up to the long-delayed battle in Ishwar, and discovered Ayerugo's small moves, they immediately dispatched a long-prepared killer.

"National alchemists—those guys are so strong that they are not human! After they joined the battle, the situation immediately became one-sided! 'Ishwar Civil War', this is the official written statement, whether it is the civilians or the eastern military Among them, the part after the national alchemist joined the battle is called the "Ishwar Annihilation Battle"! Because even if the Ishwar people in the theater surrendered later, the military did not stop the killing, but started the massacre!"

"At that time, the cowardly Ayerugo people betrayed us! Blocked the border! As a result, a large number of compatriots were left in that dead place, and less than one out of ten survived..."

Speaking of this, the emotional Grove was a little hoarse, and after calming down for a while, he continued: "...those compatriots living here are a small number of people who escaped from the war zone. They escaped the massacre by the military. And hid in the desert, so it would be scary to see you."

The Ishwar people are widely distributed in the east, and not all the Ishwar people stayed in the war zone back then—those who survived and are distributed in the slums in the east, including people like Abel and Grove, basically lived away from people outside the war zone.

As for the Ishwar people in the war zone, after experiencing the massacre, the remaining people fled into the desert, but in the vast sand sea, there are really too few lucky ones who can escape here.

Fuyuya walked over, approached Grove who was a little silent after the narration, and patted him on the shoulder.
