Chapter 1016 Alstar
Although he was curious about what happened in Baron Shu Huaze's mansion last night, Ryan did not ask about the privacy of others in person... After that, he would find an opportunity to learn the truth from other channels.
Entering the Baron's Mansion and giving simple greetings and farewells to the Baron Shu Huaze and his wife, the group boarded the Odin one after another.
"Qiya, it's time to come back, we're going to take off."
"Okay~Pegas, turn!"
“其 ~”
With the loud hissing from the Arcus earpiece, a snow-white stream of light stopped in front of Ryan in just over a dozen seconds.
Ryan looked at Qiya who had just jumped off the tall horse's back and Yartina who was floating down by lightsaber, and shook her head helplessly.
Since Pegas was getting along with the two little girls, Qiya and Yartina have become more and more bold.
Relying on Pegas's super high speed, she and Black Rabbit often squeeze out time by chance, allowing Pegas, who is fast-moving, to take them around.
The little unicorn has lived in the relatively closed forest of Shighn since childhood. It is very curious about everything outside. It usually agrees with the requests of two pure girls and often takes the time to sneak out with them.
He reached out to help Pegas combed his mane, and as the little unicorn was pleasing with his big head in his arms, Ryan smiled and patted his head with his other hand.
"Get in, we're going to set off."
“Yes~”
"Woo!"
It was only 11 a.m. when I left Yumier. Since it was still early, Ryan specifically asked the crew if there was a place they wanted to go.
"Yeah~"
Estil hesitated for a while when he heard this, and finally gave an answer.
"Or what if we're going to have a meal at Alsta at noon? I'm a little worried about whether the appearance of the Fantasy Mobile Fortress has had an impact on the residents of the town."
Alsta was the place where Olibat was born, and until his mother was assassinated by a hunter from a small nobleman, Olibat and Mura, who was the escort, lived in this quiet and peaceful border town.
Alsta and Aragon Mining Towns are the two most remote towns in the northwest of the empire. There are no villages and towns north to the Northampulia border, and to the west to the Zhulai Special Economic Zone.
Among them, Alsta is very close to the Osgilias Basin, and it only takes a few minutes to walk out of the village to reach the basin.
“Arsta?”
Ryan nodded thinking and said, "Okay, I have heard of the name of this border town from various channels many times, but I have never been able to visit it. This time I happened to visit Olibart's former residence."
"About this." Joshua said regretfully, "a few years ago, the former residence of Langheim was struck by a sudden lightning, and it was soon burned to a white land. Now there is only one monument there still remains."
"Thunder?"
Ryan touched his chin and frowned and pondered, "Can lightning hit the house so easily? There should be lightning rods in the town, right?"
"Yes."
Estil scratched his head in confusion. "The roof of Langheim's former residence was equipped with a lightning rod, but for some reason, the violent lightning destroyed the entire uninhabited house."
"The villagers all regarded this as an unknown sign. Since then, the village chief often said nervously that something might happen to His Highness."
"Um……"
Ryan nodded and probably made an inference in his mind, "Is it the one Ishumelga again?"
Of course, it is impossible for remote towns like Alsta to have an airport, so Ryan simply asked Captain Hans to dock the Odin in the center of the Osgilias Basin to the north of the town.
Perhaps because the fantasy mobile fortress was unblocked and teleported away, the gloomy spiritual power that had originally enveloped the basin completely disappeared. At least Ryan and Emma could no longer feel any strangeness from the basin.
"Mrs. Mata had brought people here for a careful survey before. The final conclusion was that the Osgilias Basin lost all specificity, and even the spiritual vein nodes that originally had were twisted to other places."
Ryan agreed and said, "Indeed, you can see it by just a vision."
"In the past, a large number of black spiritual grasses bloomed near the small lake in the middle of the basin, but now they are all gone without a trace."
As recorded in the external scriptures of the Seven Stars Church, where high-dimensional plants such as the Grass of Spiritual Wisdom grow in large quantities will only be a certain spiritual vein node.
From the retreat of the Grass of Spiritual Wisdom, we can see that the Osgilias Basin now no longer has the same spiritual concentration as before. Under the strange background of dusk, this situation is undoubtedly a good thing for the residents of surrounding villages and towns.
Walking into Alsta, the peaceful atmosphere in the town immediately infected everyone present.
The quaint stone and wooden houses add a lot of historical atmosphere to the town. The sheep raised by the townsmen leisurely wander around the town with their short legs.
Under the noon sunlight, the cute sheep were looking for shade to enjoy the shade of the tree. The naughty children sat under the tree and leaned against the sheep and chatted and laughed.
The sheep with half-closed eyes did not show resistance to the children's behavior, and still lay leisurely under the tree to rest.
"What a nice town."
Emma was a little moved by the scene of humans and animals living in harmony in front of her. "The outside world's disturbances seemed to have not disturbed this place at all."
"Haha~ That's about it."
Estil explained with a smile, "After all, Alsta is a remote town on the northern border. When Northampulia was still an autonomous prefecture, some hunters would occasionally enter the country. Now..."
Ryan smiled and agreed, "Yes, since Northampulia was merged and the empire's territory expanded further north, hunters rarely came here because of border conflicts. I have read this from the advisory group's report."
Miltie walked in front with Shuna with her hands behind her back, feeling the slow pace of life in the town curiously, and casually put forward her own opinions.
"This is one of the few benefits of merging Northampulia. It is a great achievement for the Ramal State managers to make the residents feel peaceful."
Although Northampulia has a very vast territory, one-third of the size of an empire, the large area of territory close to the North Sea has been salted, and the living space available to the people is actually not much larger than Liber.
Moreover, the port towns facing the North Sea were completely salted, and the impact brought about by this made Northampulia, which was originally very wealthy due to sea transportation, suddenly became poor.
Although the people overthrew the Grand Duke who escaped first in the Salt Pile incident, allowing the Grand Duchy of Northampulia to enter the era of autonomous prefectures, the poverty here has not been substantially changed.
The prime minister's choice to enter Northampulia to annex the autonomous prefecture caused fierce opposition at home and abroad.
Such a poor autonomous prefecture will definitely be a hot potato after annexation.
Not to mention how much Mira and how long it takes to build Northampulia, the strong condemnation of the international community alone is enough to make any rational politician give up this stupid idea unless...the person who made the decision made other attempts.
