The warm and soft sun shines on the Haider Plain in the early morning, especially during the traffic period in spring and summer. The official roads are lined with endless fields and blooming flowers dot the green space.
However, on the seemingly fertile land, the growth rate of any crop here is surprisingly slow. Especially in the southwestern part of the Haider Plain, which was once considered a sacred land, but now it seems to be abandoned by God.
Tianyi City is located in the south-central part of the Haider Plain. Starting from Leixingbao, walk along the Northeast Official Road to the end. Carriage takes two days.
Although Baron Jock, the little lord of Lei Xingbao, did not have enough money, this time he ordered two carriages. He and Bill are sitting in the same car. The other was the jockey and Jack, plus two carriage husbands, and a group of six went to Tianyi, the capital of the Heidel Dominion.
Along the way, Cheng Xian has been observing the scenery outside the car window. He doesn’t know much about this new world. Even the original “he” has only been to Tianyi City a few times, and even went to other places in the vast Haider Plain.
However, combining memories and rumors of people’s communication, plus a day’s drive, Xin confirmed a fact.
The closer you are to the north, the more pedestrians and vehicles there will be on official roads, and there are even some street vendors who set up stalls on the grass beside the road.
-There is a feeling of entering the city from the country.
After passing a small town along the way, Jack told him that it was Araqi town.
As the name implies, it is a poor small town, but in fact, it is very close to Tianyi City and has a population of nearly 10,000.
Although he only passed the town entrance of Araqi Town, Ye Han could see that the prosperity of this town was unmatched by Xing Lei Castle. The great person of Araki Town was carved and painted on the huge distance sign at the entrance of the town, showing their style, while Xing Lei Castle seemed to have nothing. Only after entering the town, there will be a “Xing Lei Tavern”, proving that this place is already Xing Lei Castle.
“Uncle Jack, why does Xing Leibao seem a bit desolate? Even if the natural resources of minerals are drastically reduced, the people who led the country in the past glorious period should stay there.”
Unlike Leixingbao and Araki Town, Ye Han asked Jack beside him suspiciously. According to his father, when Neumann clan was prosperous, there were close to 100,000 people nearby. Even if it drops again, the contrast is still a bit too big.
“Hey…”
Jack sighed when he heard Ye Han’s question. Few younger generations now know the story of Newman Clan, because even Jack’s age people only know this story.
Jack was about to speak and suddenly asked: “Didn’t Baron Lord tell the young master?”
Father simply talked about the glory of the family, but why he didn’t mention decline. Ye Han replied.
Jack’s right hand is supporting his chin slightly. After all, as the old man matures, he soon knows why the Baron Lord did not give specific instructions to Xiu, and Xiu did not get the title of inheritance, so clan internal Some of the things should not be explained to Xiu Yan.
However, for some things that outsiders like you can know, Lord Baron did not explain too much to Master Shura, because, according to Jack’s understanding of Shura, that is Shura did not want to inherit the title Child is burdened too much.
After all, history is heavy, especially when compared with the rich yesterday and the poor today, the reality is so cruel.
Therefore, Ye Han as a minor should not be too constrained by past history. Jack looked at the young master who has grown rapidly recently and slowly said, “Young master Ye Han, as long as you know, the former Newman clans are also one of the “golden clans”. Remember this.”
“Un.” Ye Han simply replied without speaking any more.
Xio is no stranger to “Golden Family” because he touched his bright red hair. Earl Fairfax, now the highest ruler in the Haider Autonomous Region, is also one of the “golden clans”.
Ye Han found that his historical knowledge was extremely lacking. Except for some biographies about the mage recorded in the book, it is difficult to find more historical legends about the glorious kingdom in the memory. Therefore, specific information about the “golden clan” is unknown.
The only information he can understand is that the current “golden clans” are descendants of several outstanding lieutenants, who were awarded by the king after the establishment of the Xinghai Kingdom.
There are five “golden families”. Except for one of them, which is already related to the royal family, the remaining four clans correspond to the four main territories of Xinghai Kingdom. “Golden clan” has extremely high rights in their respective territories. Except for donating a certain amount of Ryo and food to the king every year, everything in the domain is controlled by the lord of the domain.
“According to Uncle Jack, there should be six “golden families”…” Ye Han said musingly. The environment in which he grew up includes all the things he can see about golden families, even The common language spoken by people is the term “five families”.
Because he thought of this, he did not continue thinking. He knew that things must be complicated here. Otherwise, his father would never mention it.
At first, Xio planned to stop talking about the family and ask people outside the family about the situation of the family. After all, this is inappropriate. But he suddenly remembered that when he was attacked by a magic wolf at a sharp turn that night, when Captain Kassel came to greet Jack, he shouted, “Veterans of Laixing…”
Leixingbao, with a population of 1,000, is nothing like a town. At that time, Captain Cassel’s expression was not that kind of teasing, so a bold idea entered Ye Han’s mind.
Now he wanted to confirm his guess, so he asked the next Jack the last question, “Uncle Jack, did Clan Newman ever own a very big city?”
” Eh?”
Jack showed a surprised expression at first, but soon his face turned into a smile, “Hey, who did you listen to? If there really is a big city , Then it won’t be called Leixingbao!”
Jack has a reluctant smile on his face. He knew it was just speculation. Even if he knew something, he couldn’t tell Ye Han now. At least he respected the choice of Baron Shock.
However, Ye Han got a satisfactory answer. Jack’s extremely unnatural expression confirmed Ye Han’s guess. For Ye Han, with a certain degree of actor accomplishment, there are still some ways to observe the expressions of others and guess their psychological activities.
Ye Han also thinks that his father did not tell him these things, maybe because it is not the time yet, maybe when he gets a complete answer, the condition is the title heir.
Throwing aside these thoughts about family affairs, the carriage arrived in Tianyi, the capital of the Haider Autonomous Region, shortly before sunset in Araqi Town. ..
