Chapter 478 Western Fantasy
This revenge against Harvey Land was as simple and quick as Adrian had expected.
It took less than three days for the soldiers to advance at full speed from Lord Severn's City to Lord Harvey's City.On the third day of departure, Faith sent a message to Adrian and told him: "The matter is settled."
The two people talked, not using ordinary scrolls that can only communicate the situation through writing.Their respective phantoms appeared beside each other, and Adrian could even see Hunter kneeling beside Feit with a pale face.
He catches up with the scene where Hunter's soul is taken by the Goddess of Fairness's artifact.The man was still begging Faith for mercy one second, and stopped talking the next second.His mouth still remained open, but he could no longer make any movement.
Faith gave a soft "huh".He looked at Hunter for a moment, then turned around, facing the phantom of the lord beside him.
Although scrolls are convenient, they also have limitations.At least at the moment, he can no longer see the real Adrian as before.What appeared in front of Feit was the middle-aged image that Adrian had used for a long time.
Even though it has been a long time, Feit is still not used to seeing it in his eyes.
This is in the eyes of others, his expression and tone are flawless.
The knight saluted his lord, clasped his right hand in front of his left chest as he did thousands of times in the past, and said, "My lord, the task has been successfully completed."
Adrian smiled, stretched out his hand, and asked Faith to kiss the shadow on the back of his hand.
As early as the moment his figure appeared, the soldiers who came with Feit fell silent, respectfully kneeled on one knee, and saluted with Mr. Knight Commander.
Although no one spoke, at that moment, everyone had the same surging emotion in their hearts—from today onwards, what they were standing under was also the territory of Viscount Severn!
The blood starts to boil, they need to celebrate the victory now!
Feith is well aware of this.When he straightened up and was about to explain the situation to Adrian, he heard Adrian softly "Hey".
Feit raised his eyebrows and followed Adrian's gaze.
He saw a child dressed in aristocratic clothes, but his face was full of blank fear.
A sigh-like voice came from Adrian, and said, "Is it 'Baron Harvey'?"
Faith blinked and said, "I think so."
……
……
On that day, the news of the Baron's death spread from the castle, quickly spread throughout the main city, and then continued to spread outward.
The people in Harvey's territory were panic-stricken, for fear that the moment they opened their eyes tomorrow, some Selvin warriors would break in and declare that all the residents of the defeated territories would become captives and slaves like they did at the end of every war in the past. .
In such panic, some people seized the time, packed their bags, and prepared to go to relatives living in other territories.There are also people who are full of hesitation and discuss with their family members: "Maybe the situation is not so bad..."
"I heard from my cousin who lives in the Severn Territory that the lord is very generous and gentle to them."
"Yes! I also have family members living in Savien. They are all trying to persuade me, hoping that I will move there too."
"You only need to pay 20% tax every year, and even the girls can work in the textile factory! Tailor apprentices are almost lined up from the village to the village, and even then there is no shortage of business. Everyone has enough to eat and wear. Nuan, my cousin's eldest son is already [-] years old, and he was awakened under the guidance of the warriors sent by the lord! ——Yes, if there are really warriors coming to our village, then I think this must be the happiest time in the past two years. Good news."
Amidst all the discussions, there was one family that remained silent.
This family is located in a village very close to the main city.Everyone knows that one of the village women lost her son two years ago.After that, the village woman went crazy.
She wandered outside the main city every day, no matter what she did not believe that her son was dead, but firmly told everyone she met: "My Xiyou is still alive! He is still alive!"
It's just that whenever other people asked her where her child was, the village woman would show a painful expression and would not answer other people's questions.
Over time, people gradually "understood" that the village woman was not unaware that her child was dead.But whether it was being snatched away by wild wolves, or a naughty child fell into the river while playing outside, it was too sad and unacceptable for her.
She is unwilling to face the facts, preferring to construct a fantasy for herself that the child is still alive.
In this regard, people sympathize with, but also tired of.
They took her experience as a topic when they had nothing to do, and protested after the topic went on for too long: "It's just a crazy woman, why do you need to keep talking about her?"
"As far as I can tell, Valcy did the right thing to leave that mad woman! How well he is now, married again."
"Uh, haven't you heard? Before he went hunting, he was bitten by a mountain wolf and injured his leg. He is still lying on the bed and cannot move!"
"..." This is new news.People were distracted and some discussions started.The original focus of the topic disappeared from their mouths, and it was not brought up again until the baron died and they had a new lord.
It's just that the discussion of the new lord is obviously more, and the voice is louder.As for the "crazy woman" in the village, people just said: "It's so strange, it turns out that Xiyou really didn't die."
"In that case, where did he go two days ago?"
"It seems to be taken away by the elves and lived in the forest for so long."
"Shh, the news I heard is that he was sold by Valsi to a noble couple with no children! It's just that the couple was 'that' by the new lord's warriors," making a gesture of wiping his neck with the side of his palm, " Only now can Xiyou come back!"
"Oh, poor child, lost the life of rich clothes and fine food."
The commentator's tone was full of sympathy, but just looking at his expression, he seemed gloating.
How can an ordinary child who lives in the same village as his own family lead a better life casually?Well now, everything is back to square one.Still, it's more comforting.
No matter what others say, everything in the village woman's house is warm and comfortable.
She sat at the table and kept looking at the boy on the other side of the table who was holding a wooden bowl and gulping wild vegetable soup.When the soup in the bowl was finished, the boy looked up, and the village woman's expression changed from joy to panic in an instant.
She carefully looked at her, who had been away for many years, grew taller and fairer, really looked like the child of a young master in a noble family, and felt joyful and strange in her heart.
When the group of soldiers sent the child back, of course they were more happy.But when the joy was over, all kinds of worries surfaced again.
At this moment, in the eyes of the child, the village woman's worries can hardly be hidden.
She hurriedly stood up, intending to take the wooden bowl to wash.During the movement, he stretched out his red, swollen, chapped, and chilblained hands in front of the child.
Then be held by the child.
The village woman was shocked when she saw the child raised her head and called herself: "Mom."
The village woman's eye circles turned red immediately, and her eyes were water-colored.
The little baron, that is, Xiyou called out again: "Mom..."
The village woman burst into tears: "My child."
Xiyou: "Mr. Fez said that when the lord's people come here and build a textile factory here, mother can go to work in the factory. He also said that in a few years, I can go too."
The village woman let out a "hey" in a daze.
Xiyou said, "Mom, I see you often in the castle."
When looking out of the window, you can always see the shadow of the village woman.On the street, outside the garden.She steadfastly searched for her child, and finally waited until the day when the child came home...
Mother and son embrace each other.Although separated for two years, their hearts are still close to each other.
And this family is just the epitome of hundreds of families who decided not to leave, but to stay in the territory and wait for the viscount's arrangement.
The soldiers who followed Feit stayed in the city for half a month.At the beginning of this half month, I waited for the decree from the viscount and dozens of fully equipped soldiers.
In the following time, under the introduction of the consul who succeeded Hunter, the soldiers chose the village where they would go next, and prepared to start their own work.
In the coldest time of winter, Feit returned to the Severn Territory.
When he stepped into the castle, it happened to be snowing outside.
The Viscount did not come out to meet him.Feit was slightly disappointed, but more distressed.In his mind, Adrian must be busy with government affairs.
His partner already had too many things to deal with, not to mention there was an extra piece of land waiting for him to manage.This is just the beginning. One day in the future, Adrian will have to face more people and more land.
These thoughts continued all the way, until Feit opened the door, felt the heat wave blowing on his face, and saw the scene in it at the same time.
The room was warm, and there was clearly not much firewood in the fireplace, but the flames were burning extremely hot.
Next to the fireplace is a rocking chair with a soft blanket.Next to the rocking chair, a thick and gorgeous skirt hangs down.
Feit's eyes changed instantly.He strode forward and pulled up the figure sitting on the rocking chair.Amidst the other party's laughter, he clasped the young man's waist and kissed him deeply.
The author has something to say:
I'm coming……!
ps. Five days from tomorrow, that is, 4.30~5.4 will be updated from time to time.
