Chapter seven hundred and forty fifth plan
Money matters are easy to handle, but the problem is that Leo doesn't know why he came here.
Originally, according to St. Francis's description, after they entered the thick fog, even if they would see some hallucinations and encounter some strange things, there would never be such a thing as space travel. They should arrive at the town outside the Wizard Tower.
That's right, and that's where the power of the book "Yakami Sigh" is concentrated.
But the situation now is completely different. Whether it is the encounter in Lobe Town or the situation on the mountainside of Mount Lobe, it shows that with the changes in the world, the power of Night God Sigh on Mount Lobe has also changed, and
Did he come to Jivielle's world by chance or for another reason? How can he leave here and return to Velen's world? We need to slowly find answers to these questions.
At least now Leo feels that his coming to Jivielle's world is not necessarily an accident, because before he entered this world, when walking in that forest, he could feel some unusual movement in the tattoo on his back, and the nightmare
There seemed to be some fluctuations in his power. At that time, he just thought he sensed the power and resonance of the pages of Yagami Sighing, but now it seems that it may not be as simple as he thought.
Leo also told Sylvia about the current problem, but Sylvia was obviously more optimistic than him. He believed that if it was not a coincidence, then sooner or later they would be able to get clues, so they didn't need to pay too much attention to it.
Live life as it is.
Seeing that Sylvia seemed to regard this as a trip to a foreign country, Leo didn't know what to say and could only let it go.
Later, Sylvia asked Leo to teach her the Toussaint language. Apparently she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Leo talking to people but she couldn't understand a word.
Leo also agreed with this. Sylvia can master the language here, which saves him the energy to explain again. And after mastering the language, Sylvia may also be able to discover the details that he ignored.
In this way, the two people who were originally planning to set off the next day decided to postpone it for a few days so that Sylvia could become familiar with the language here. At the same time, they could also wait for a group of wandering knights passing by. This group of wandering knights has been specializing in the past two years.
Patrol the border in this area and be responsible for eliminating bandits and monsters here.
Sylvia is extremely talented in languages, and the language here has some similarities with French and English, so she quickly mastered some conversational expressions. In order to exercise her language skills, these two
Leo left all the external communication matters to her. Although there were a lot of jokes in the process, it was of great help to Sylvia's language learning.
At the same time, Leo also bought some books from the owner of the tavern and a merchant living in the town. Although Leo could speak a certain language from the old earth era, it was the product of instilling knowledge.
Very little is known about the characters of this language. It is only known that when the Federation language was created, this language was abandoned because it was not conducive to communication with alien civilizations.
Although it was difficult to read these words at first, Leo had rich experience in language learning and research and quickly found the pattern. After two days, he was able to recognize most of the words except for a few rare words.
Reading ordinary books is not a problem.
In the past two days, Leo and the others also learned a lot about this world from people in the town. They discovered that although this world has all kinds of extraordinary powers and weird creatures like the Velen world, these things are not
These are things that everyone knows. They are not hidden like the world of Velen and are completely inaccessible to ordinary people.
For example, there are several special non-human creatures in this world, such as dwarves, elves, tree spirits, etc. This world also has gods, and gods also have churches. There are also a large number of monsters in this world, such as ghosts, trolls, demons,
Cyclops, etc., and none of these monsters have hidden their whereabouts, and ordinary people also know that these monsters exist in this world.
There are also many people with extraordinary powers in this world, such as a type of powerful extraordinary beings called warlocks. Some of these warlocks will serve as powerful advisors to kings in the national courts of this world, and some will also work with Velen.
Like the wizards of the world, they hide themselves and concentrate on studying the secrets of power in this world.
It just so happens that there is such a sorceress in the court of the Principality of Toussaint. This sorceress's name is Fringilla Vigo. She is an extremely powerful illusion master. Her illusions are almost the same as real ones.
It can even produce real destructive power.
After getting this news, both Leo and Sylvia felt that they should meet this sorceress, because the final effect of this sorceress's illusion is somewhat similar to the effect of the illusion created by the pages of Night God's Sigh, although the two are not the same.
We may not necessarily be able to draw an equal sign, but we may be able to get some useful clues from this sorceress.
Another thing caught the attention of Leo and Sylvia. When they asked about the wandering knights, they learned that the wandering knights needed to make an oath before joining Toussaint. This oath involved a man named Knight.
The code of chivalry with the five virtues was created and taught to knights by the Fairy of the Lake.
After hearing this at that time, both Leo and Sylvia thought of the Lady of the Lake in the Velen world, because the two were so similar. The Lady of the Lake was also the guardian of the knights, and so was the Lady of the Lake.
The Lady of the Lake is the creator of the Law of Chivalry, and the Lady of the Lake created the Five Virtues of Chivalry. They both should be the same existence, so the Lady of the Lake is on their list of clues.
The top name.
On the third day that Leo and Sylvia temporarily stayed in the town, a group of knights in gorgeous armor came to the town. Behind this group of knights, followed a large group of entourage, including the knight's attendants and
There are also vassals who want to be protected by knights and do business in various parts of Toussaint, but more often than not they are ordinary people who need to go to other towns but are worried about encountering dangers on the way.
The Principality of Toussaint is a very peculiar country. Although this country has a large number of knights, it does not have a real military force. The security of the entire principality is handed over to a knighthood composed of several wandering knights.
They are not regular soldiers of the principality, they are just employees. The principality will pay a pretty good salary to hire these knights to patrol the borders and main trade routes, regularly eliminate bandits and monsters, and protect the normal passage of caravans and people in Toussaint.
The only quasi-armed army in the Principality of Toussaint is the Duke's Guard in the capital, Beauclair. However, this guard can only be regarded as the Duchess's private army and is not the army of the Principality.
Think about it, the reason why the Principality of Toussaint has such a weird military system must be related to its suzerain country, the Nilfgaard Empire.
Leo read some things about the Nilfgaard Empire in a book he bought. He knew that this empire was extremely powerful and was very similar to the French Empire that unified Velen in the early days. What the Principality of Toussaint did was
It was similar to the Hanossa Alliance in Velen Continent. Facing the powerful French Empire, they took the initiative to disarm their own armed forces and lowered their heads.
The treatment received after bowing was very similar. The Principality of Toussaint also received considerable autonomy. The Nilfgaard Empire did not send troops and officials to stay as it did with other vassal states. The Hannossa Alliance received
The treatment is similar. This may be a common way for weak countries to deal with powerful countries.
Among these knights, a gorgeous knight wearing golden armor with a red feather on his helmet walked into the tavern. While taking off his helmet, revealing a face that was about to enter old age, he looked at the tavern owner with a very natural look.
He said hello, then picked up a glass of wine that the tavern owner had prepared a long time ago and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped the wine stains on his mouth and said: "Old Babu, hurry up and fill up the food and water. Let's
It’s time to leave for the next town.”
"Sir Capello, don't you want to rest here for the night?" the tavern owner asked.
The old knight said seriously: "No! The Knights Conference is about to start. I have to rush back as soon as possible to prepare for the conference. I can't delay on the road."
"Do you want to attend the knights' meeting again?" the tavern owner asked.
"What? Can't I participate? Or do you think I'm too old to participate in the knights' convention?" When the old knight heard the tavern owner's question, he immediately widened his eyes and shouted: "Don't say I'm not old enough yet.
Even if I am too old to lift a sword, I can still ride a horse and leave those little guys far behind in the horse riding competition."
Knowing that he had said something wrong, the hotel owner quickly apologized and loudly ordered to prepare what the old knight asked for.
"Would you like to come forward and say hello now?" Leo asked Sylvia when he saw the old knight sitting alone in the tavern.
"No need." Sylvia shook her head and said: "We don't need to take the initiative to contact these wandering knights now, and contacting them rashly will only make people suspicious. We can follow the team on the road and find opportunities to meet them again on the road.
Build a relationship."
Leo agreed with Sylvia's proposal, and then the two of them prepared some dry food and other items that they would need on the road. Originally, Sylvia wanted to buy two local knight swords for easy disguise, but the town where they were located
Although there is a blacksmith, he can only make some farm tools. Blacksmiths who can make knight's swords can only be found in larger towns and Beauclair.
Soon this team of four knights, six attendants and a dozen vassal knights had replenished their supplies. Without saying hello to the caravans and ordinary people who followed them, they directly mounted their horses and continued.
Hit the road.
Seeing that the knight had already set off, the caravans and ordinary people also hurriedly packed their luggage and followed.
Compared with the team that entered the town, the team that left became much larger. In addition to some local farmers who were going to big towns to purchase things, the caravan also purchased some brewed wine from the small town, so that
Two more carriages were added to carry wine barrels.
Leo and Sylvia originally wanted to buy two horses, but there were no spare horses for sale in the town, so they had no choice but to discuss with the caravan leader and get on the caravan's carriage to transport wine.
The whole team was not walking very fast, and the road was smooth. After walking through a trail built by the vineyard owner, it was the main road of the principality. Because this main road is connected with the vineyards in various parts of the principality, wine is transported back and forth here.
There are also many horse-drawn carriages. The principality has specially repaired this road so that the horse-drawn carriages can pass more smoothly. People walking on this road feel more like they are on an outing.
"France? Is there such a country?" The coachman who was driving on the road saw that Leo and Sylvia's clothes were different from any other clothes he had seen, and he curiously asked about their origins like ordinary people.
Leo told the story he had discussed with Sylvia, saying that they were knights from France and had heard about the reputation of the Toussaint Knights Tournament, so they traveled thousands of miles to come here to participate in the Knights Tournament.
"Yes, in the east, across the Falui Mountains, and further east." Leo said an address that could not be verified.
Although this address could not be verified, the coachman chose to believe it, because the clothes of Leo and Sylvia were really very different from those of Toussaint, and also very different from those of the northern countries. In addition to using clothes from distant countries,
I can't find any other suitable explanation other than the visitor's explanation.
Afterwards, the coachman asked a few more questions about the country of France, and Leo answered naturally. Then he stopped asking any more questions and found an excuse to go to the front and switch to a carriage driver.
Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and exchanged their opinions. There is no doubt that this coachman must have an official background, but they don't know if it is Toussaint official or other official. Otherwise, it is impossible for a curious coachman to ask those questions.
Yes, the two of them had expected this and were not too surprised. The only thing that surprised them was that they encountered it so early.
However, if you think about it carefully, it must be a coincidence. The government represented by this coachman was probably just monitoring these wandering knights. When they saw these two foreigners in strange clothes, they just made a routine inquiry.
"Maybe we can get a certificate of knighthood." Leo said to Sylvia in French.
Sylvia shook her head and said: "It shouldn't be possible. Judging from various signs, knighthood is considered a noble here. Even for a wandering knight, this special identity certificate cannot be easily promulgated by any country.
To a stranger. If you want to obtain knighthood, you can only achieve it through meritorious service."
Leo asked: "You asked me to inquire about the bandit forces in Toussaint, do you want to use them as a springboard?"
"They are just one of them. Just suppressing bandits is not enough, otherwise these wandering knights would have become Toussaint's official knights long ago." Sylvia shook her head, then fell silent for a moment, and asked: "You
