...
It wasn't until the sky had completely darkened that Riber and his party arrived in Greenwater City.
Didn't it mean that the drive between the mansion and Greenwater City is only three hours?Why did it take almost three times as long?
It has to be mentioned that this journey is calculated according to the premise of a normal horse-drawn carriage.This does not include situations where donkeys or pegasus pull the cart.
The two Pegasus horses, Annie and Berta, sprained their legs for a while, got heatstroke for a while, and didn't know the reason for it. Anyway, they would feel dizzy just looking forward.
In short, Riber has seen it.
In this world, Tianma can actually be more troublesome than those people who are like hob meat.
However, although it took a lot of extra time on the road, Riber didn't feel bored.
Because, whenever the Pegasus horses rest, these members of the Scourge Church will carry out simple camping activities under the command of the black crow.
I don't know where they hunted some strange small animals, strange mushrooms and fruits.
But after grilling and cooking with simple kitchen utensils, the taste is still good.
It was also eating these rather wild foods that Riber slapped his forehead, remembering who the group of them had forgotten.
But because of his "amnesia", he hasn't seen the chef girl yet.Therefore, it is not easy to ask about the other party.
Fortunately, although the mansion was burnt down, the warehouse and everything are still there.
Therefore, relying on the food stored in those warehouses, it shouldn't be a big problem to support one person for half a year until the mansion is repaired, right?
Ah!
Certainly not a big problem.
Although Riber had only met the chef girl once, he believed in her!
...
Looking at Greenwater City, which is located in a low-lying position, Riber noticed that it was a brightly lit city.
The ubiquitous brightness seems to overwhelm the starlight in the sky, filled with the breath of civilization.
After getting acquainted with Sebastian, Riber learned that the kingdom they are in now is called Xinmei Kingdom.
The full name of the New Mei Kingdom is the Emerging Mei Brian Kingdom, but due to the strong opposition of the old nobles, the rulers of the New Mei Kingdom can only use the abbreviation, and this abbreviation has been widely recognized in the mainland.
Just hearing this passage, Riber felt extremely incredible.
Is this a different world?
Why are the so-called old nobles so arrogant?
Brahmins and Tianlong people are not going to let a country not even use its own full name, right?
After a careful understanding, Riber learned that there are quite complicated reasons for this.
The predecessor of the New Mei Kingdom was the Mei Brian Kingdom.
The kingdom has a long history, which is said to date back thousands of years.
However, in the long-term development, the Mebraen Kingdom has accumulated various disadvantages and problems.Among them, the most serious is probably the aristocratic territory.
Every nobleman has his own territory, and is self-sufficient in his own territory, and does not communicate with the outside world as if it is an independent and closed country.
After such aristocrats have accumulated for thousands of years, there are so many that they are too numerous to count.And the royal family is just a relatively big noble, so other nobles don't respect the royal family very much.
And as long as people have greed, not to mention that the so-called nobles have always been hereditary, and there is a high probability that they are dudes who don't know the sufferings of the world.
As a result, countless nobles, large and small, relied on their own territories, and then wanted to seize other people's territories.
In the end, it turned into a chaotic battle where human heads hit dog heads.
Because, they are all nobles under the name of Mebrian Kingdom, they are fighting each other.Therefore, May Blaine at that time was also regarded as a civil war.However, it is incredible that this civil war lasted for more than 200 years.It wasn't until about a hundred years ago that a ruthless man who was both the prime minister and the "Grand Duke" appeared, swept half of the nobles in the kingdom, and shocked half of them, and the war finally ended temporarily.
What the ruthless prime minister established was the emerging Mebrian Kingdom.
The Xinmei Kingdom is still a country with a kingdom system, but the king is not the ruthless prime minister.
The prime minister just regards the royal family as a mascot, and actually all the power is in the hands of the prime minister.
The long war is over, and new institutions are established.
The emerging Mebrian Kingdom should have been rejuvenated and thriving.
However, something unfortunate happened.
That is, not long after the Xinmei Kingdom was established, the prime minister who fought for more than 40 years before ending the war passed away.
Then, as the successor, the prime minister's eldest son... is actually a strange person who admires the old aristocracy and the old system.
As a result, most of the things that the prime minister had built up with great difficulty were gradually destroyed by his son over the past few decades.
For the prime minister, having such a son is not the most unfortunate thing.
What's more unfortunate is that his grandson admired the old aristocracy and the old system more than his son.Even, after marrying the princess of the royal family, she became a naturalized royal family, and even the power of the royal family began to be restored.
Then, it is now.
The grandson of the ruthless prime minister is still the prime minister of Xinmei Kingdom.
With his unremitting efforts, those old nobles have basically recovered their former power.
And, worse than ever.In the past, they would only lock themselves in their own territory, play their own games, and basically did not join forces with others.
But now, all those blocked "small countries" have been opened, and the old nobles who have been overthrown once after all have realized the truth that there is strength in numbers.
Therefore, under the pressure of the concerted efforts of the old nobles, the emerging May Brian Kingdom has even become the New May Kingdom,
...
After hearing the story about the Xinmei Kingdom, Riber was actually quite embarrassed.
He guessed that the descendants of the ruthless prime minister probably cremated him instead of the burial commonly used in this world.
Otherwise, in this world with fantasy elements, the old prime minister would have to jump out of the grave and beat his unworthy descendants to death.
However, different from Riber's emotion, when Sebas told these stories, especially when the old aristocrats regained their power, he spoke with a very proud tone.
Obviously, it wasn't that the old aristocrats were so powerful, but that the other party's Majesty himself rebelled.
But after thinking about it carefully, Riber understood where Sebastian's pride came from.
because...
The Campret family, that is, himself, are the old nobles walking sideways in the Xinmei Kingdom!
He didn't really have amnesia, so he still knew his full name.
Riber May Brian Lu Shane y la Camprete.
In his name, there is actually the word May Brian!
He was all the old aristocracy of the old aristocracy.
It is said that the reason why the head of the Campret family is only the earl is because when the ancestors of the Campret family were enshrined, the greatest title was the earl.
Now he knows his name and its full meaning.
Riber is naturally the name.
Mebrian, because his ancestors made great contributions when the Mebrian Kingdom was established nearly a thousand years ago.
Lou is actually a word for the surnames of other nobles.
The source is that Riber's ancestors once married another equally prosperous noble family.
Therefore, the word Lu represented that there was another extremely precious bloodline in his bloodline.
Shane's words were part of his mother's name.
Although Riber had never met his mother, he didn't know who she was.But since he can leave a part of his name, his bloodline is probably quite pure.
Yi's words mean "eternal" in the ancient Mebrian language.Appearing in the name means that his title can always be hereditary.
La's words are a kind of respectful title, which does not mean "sacred", and is a word bestowed by the gods of the Church of All Things.It means that the title of the Campret family is not only recognized by the Kingdom, but also recognized by the Church of All Things.
Therefore, when the people of the Church of All Things call Riber, they should call him Count "La Camprete".
As for the last Caprete, there is no need to explain anything.
Great Camprete!
so...
So, what else can Riber slander?
He can only thank the old prime minister.
Because those heirs of the old prime minister are really outstanding.
...
...
Under the reluctant dragging of Annie and Berta, the carriage had already approached the majestic east gate of Greenwater City.
The city is a concept that only appeared in Xinmei Kingdom in the past 100 years.
The biggest significance of the establishment of the Xinmei Kingdom is that the people of the kingdom will no longer be bound by the aristocratic territory, and will only be born, aged, sick and died in the same area for the rest of their lives.
And when the civilians began to circulate, due to the rejection of some noble territories, they could only choose to enter the large fortress that was put on hold after the war.
Slowly, places like cities appeared in these fortresses and in the former aristocratic territories that were vacated during the civil war, even the ancestral graves were dug up.
The old nobles generally disdain to live in the city.
Therefore, there are more people called "new nobles" in the city.However, even though they have the titles bestowed by the New Plum Kingdom, they have no territory, let alone a family crest.
Around the east gate of Greenwater, Riber saw some people in blue and gray uniforms, who looked like guards.He is maintaining the records of the city gate, and then checking the crowds who want to enter the city.
According to Sebastian's introduction, these guards were established in the past few decades, members of the Royal Knights.
As the name suggests, members of the Knights Order have knighthoods.
But unfortunately, they are the new nobles.Therefore, they cannot be like the knights of the old aristocrats, who own a manor that can open several golf courses, and be self-sufficient in it as the emperor of the land.
Listening to Sebastian's various introductions, Riber was still a little worried.
After all, if he, an old aristocrat, ran into a city where the new aristocrats and commoners gathered in such a high-profile way, wouldn't he be targeted and embarrassing everywhere?
But he soon realized that he was wrong and underestimated the meaning of the old nobles in the Xinmei Kingdom.
I saw that several members of the Wang Li Knights near the city gate saw the carriage pulled by two heavenly horses from a distance.Then the tiger's body shook immediately, and after arguing with each other, a lucky member of the regiment approached the carriage with a red face.
And when he saw the earl's family crest on the carriage, Riber felt that he might faint from excitement.
As a result, there was no such thing as blocking censorship or suppression.The regiment member took the initiative to roar, and drove away the crowd queuing around the city gate to enter the city.
Facing the line of people blocking the road, the regiment members punched and kicked, and kept waving the spears they held in their hands.
And no one stopped the other members at all, as if all this was as it should be.
When Riber's carriage drove past the city gate and passed in front of them.Across the windows, Riber could feel their enthusiasm for the earl and the old nobles.
...
Perhaps, this is the first time since Riber II that he has received such preferential treatment.
But it may be because he has always been the group of people who were driven away by the Knights.
Therefore, he didn't feel the "coolness" brought by his distinguished status at all, he just felt...
Very uncomfortable.
Volume II: Chapter 41, The Horsewoman
After entering Greenwater City, the carriage turned left and right to a remote area in the city.
Through the window, looking at the gloomy second-floor mansion covered with moss, Ribel thought this was their new landing place.Unexpectedly, in fact, this is the temporary stronghold of members of the Church of Scourge.
A group of members of the Church of Scourge stepped off the carriage one after another, and the black crow also sent parting words.
"During the temporary suspension period, we will always be here waiting for new instructions from the organization. And you who are waiting to be observed are not suitable to be in the stronghold with us."
The black crow landed on a tall raven-faced man, speaking in an undeniably old voice,
"I believe that even if you have changed a little, you can still pass the church's review. However, I also want to warn you, don't have thoughts that are harmful to the organization or even want to leave. I don't want to judge the traitor first. to judge you."
