The autumn day of the year DCCXXX (730) was the most praiseworthy event of the late years of the LXVII (67) Emperor, Friedrich Bayer. The Saints appeared in the palace to celebrate the prosperity of the Qijun Kingdom. Such prosperity would continue for a long time to come.
This event was verified by the sects that the Saints belonged to. The Gods they believed in did come to the Jun Kingdom's palace on the same day and left their blessings.
The main hall that was originally used for meetings had a few skylights opened to symbolize the bestowment of light. The original door was also widened by the Guardian God himself to symbolize a broad future and a smooth path. Under the advice of many theocrats, this palace preserved the traces left behind by the Saints to the greatest extent, and became a sacred hall in the imperial palace.
There was even a Saint who personally defeated a demon that coveted the Jun Kingdom's nobles, with the evil remains as proof. This meant that the Jun Kingdom was not only blessed by the Gods, but also protected by the Gods. For this, the capital of the Kingdom of Vida held a celebration for seven days and seven nights to celebrate this day that was enough to leave a record in history. There were also celebrations of varying lengths in various parts of the Jun Kingdom.
Of course, the nobles and royal guards who were present at the time all kept their mouths shut about the truth.
The reason why the various sects recognized it was because the priests of the sects were indeed in the palace and felt the breath of their Heavenly Masters, as well as the generous donations from the Jun Kingdom. After all, they were all in the camp of the Good Gods. As long as they did not go against the taboos of their own leaders, the representatives of the mortal world still had a lot of autonomy.
For the nobles, regardless of their political stance, the Gods coming to bless the Jun Kingdom and the Gods turning into Saints to cause trouble in the palace made everyone tremble in fear. Which of these two statements was easier for the nobles to accept?
In order to maintain the rule of the Jun Kingdom, they could not show any signs of weakness. This was the consensus of all the nobles. If the Jun Kingdom showed any weakness and attracted the surrounding jackals and wolves to attack, the common interests of the nobles would still be damaged.
And these losses were much greater than using this incident to attack their political opponents. So as long as their IQ was above that of a normal person, it was not hard to understand why they would make such a choice.
The way the Bachmann Family incident ended among the higher-ups of the Jun Kingdom was also quite unexpected.
Conclusion: The Bachmann family is still alive. In a certain monastery, he found the eldest daughter of the former Viscount Bachman, who was also the one who had the right of inheritance. As for the reason why that person was in such a place, it was because she missed her late father and was overly grieved, so she lived in a monastery, hoping to adjust her emotions in such a simple place.
Perhaps if he had asked this question half a year ago, the reason he would have received would have been that the pain of losing her son caused the Countess to lose her mind due to the miscarriage. Therefore, they had to enter the monastery and receive special care to prevent the viscountess from escaping and harming themselves.
No one cared about the truth. In any case, the Bachmann family continued to exist and was not completely wiped out. This matter had an excuse to end. Everyone's focus shifted to the revival of the Bachmann family by the new Duke Becker, and no longer discussed anything else. By the way, because Duke Beckel was slightly ill, he gave the title to his eldest son, who had been waiting to inherit it for a long time, and went to recuperate.
All of this, for someone traveling, was just a joke on the journey. He didn't realize that this matter had anything to do with him. Every day, he just sat on a self-made beach chair on a riverboat and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the river.
Before he transmigrated, as a Neanderthal who traveled between two points and one line every day, he naturally had nothing to do with things like river cruises. At most, he had seen river cruises on TV. He had thought that it was enough for a scholar to know about the world without going out, but seeing these beautiful scenery with his own eyes, it was indeed different.
In particular, sailing on the river was different from sailing on the sea. On the sea, there were only waves and waves, and it took a bit of luck to see other boats. And on the river, because of the limited space in the river and the busy Golden Waterway, boats came and went frequently. It also allowed a certain someone to see many boat types that had never been seen on Earth.
For example, the hull was shaped like a carp, without sails, and with water beasts at the bottom of the river pulling it. From time to time, it could dive into the water and be called a maze submarine. Encountering such a boat for the first time really gave a certain someone a fright. Of course, the submarine and the like were secondary. The magic technology for the boat to use the maze was still quite immature. There was still a lot of room for improvement in the time it took to dive into the water, the depth, and the airtightness of the hull.
What caught a certain someone's attention was actually the water beast that was pulling the boat in the water. In the maze where there were no motors or engines, boats on the water could be driven by animals, which was a more efficient and stable option, in addition to wind and manpower. It was like a carriage on land, which was something that couldn't be done on Earth.
Using whales or sea monsters to pull a ship was something that could only be heard from drunken sailors in taverns during the Age of Great Voyages, when sailing ships were the main source of power. Even now, it could only be seen in movies, novels, and various other entertainment works. Now, it was happening right before his eyes.
After asking the owner of the boat he was on, he learned that the boat pulled by the water beast or sea monster actually came from the Fishermen's Kingdom.
Homo sapiens on land had to rely on Mages or Druids to communicate with underwater beasts, but it was only communication, and the other party might not necessarily listen to orders. Fishermen, on the other hand, were different. Taming these giant beasts in the water was their specialty.
Secondly, unlike horses that could only walk on land, it was very difficult to keep the giant beasts in the water at a fixed depth. Even some sea beasts that claimed to be well-trained would dive deeper into the water from time to time, and then drag down the boats that were tied to them … Therefore, this type of boat more or less had the function of diving, and was not a boat that could be used on the surface.
Lastly, these big guys that were strong enough to pull the boat had bad tempers. Just like on land, there were only a few types of domesticated animals that were suitable for pulling carriages. No one would deliberately look for large beasts to pull carriages. As for winning by numbers, that was a joke. Not every animal could be trained to be like a sled dog, where more than ten animals could work together at once.
Therefore, the cost of such a boat had to be considered in all aspects, including the cost of the boat itself, the cost of rearing the beasts, and the salary of the people who specialized in taking care of the beasts. Although the total cost was less than the price of a three-story magic tower, it wasn't that far off.
Apart from that, there was also the airship that could be used in both water and air, which attracted a certain someone's attention. The most peculiar thing about this type of dual-purpose airship was that even in the sky, it would use sails to achieve greater speed. Normally, as long as conditions permitted, it would walk on water, using this method to reduce the consumption of magic stones and power. It was the most common airship for civilian use.
As for the scenery along the shore, there was no need to mention it. After years of traveling in carriages and drifting around, a certain someone's butt had already gotten used to it. Being able to sit on a different vehicle and see a different scenery was the most beautiful thing.
Especially when a certain someone saw something fascinating on the shore, he didn't even need the boatman to stop the boat. He could just use a Blink spell to go on shore and travel. When he was satisfied with the view and had his fun, he could Blink back to the boat. The boat couldn't go very far.
This kind of freedom made everyone envious, except for the Lich who could also use Blink.
As for the two girls who loved to cry and follow, they didn't have any extra energy to spend on this kind of fun. Because they had been in danger many times, not to mention their teacher who had gone crazy a while ago, even their elder sister couldn't stand it anymore, so she personally trained them.
In the words of the former Demon King: If you don't have half of my strength, don't even think about living a good life.
Then the two girls lived an abyss of suffering.
Of course, limited by the environment — it was impossible to do anything too destructive on the boat, unless they planned to swim together — and the type of training, Hallumi and Kaya wouldn't be trained like warriors and break their arms and legs.
They were magic apprentices, so what they should do was to integrate their knowledge system and apply it in battle. They should also expand the scope of their knowledge and enrich their fighting skills. In short, everything was based on fighting, and the ultimate goal was to protect their lives.
This was something that Lin Xiang had always wanted to instill in the two girls and urge them to do their best. The difference was that the opponents that a certain someone had chosen in the past were uncivilized goblins, lone wolves that had left their pack, and groups of kobolds that were either beggars or bandits.
With the independent learning and training that the two girls had along the way, it was more than enough to deal with opponents of this level. Moreover, they were able to perform well when they were still young. Because of this, their teacher was able to rest assured and let the two girls develop freely.
After all, children with independent personalities and self-awareness were much easier to take care of. He didn't have to keep an eye on them all the time. This was the ideal situation for a certain man who couldn't even be bothered to take care of dogs and kittens before or after his transmigration. Not to mention, in the eyes of others, it was hard to say who was taking care of who.
However, it was clear that the two girls weren't enough to deal with the enemies that a certain someone would encounter in the near future.
In the end, the improvement of the two girls wasn't like their teacher, which was an explosive growth.
Although the core of a certain someone's battle strategy still revolved around the word "wretched". However, the completion of the Blink spell made him more daring. He now had the confidence to take risks that he wouldn't have tried in the past. In addition, there was an expert beside him who was so strong that he couldn't even see the taillights of a car. Therefore, it was easy for a certain someone to overlook the two girls who weren't improving at the same speed.
At first, this wasn't a problem for the resurrected Lich, because she didn't realize the meaning behind it at all. However, when the girls were in danger a few times, she also felt worried. Fen felt that she couldn't let them go on like this. Before the girls had enough strength to protect themselves, she decided to strictly supervise the two wild girls and make them calm down.
As for what level they had to reach to be considered as having the strength to protect themselves? This was just like the request of a certain Lich, to reach half of her strength …
And a certain someone used the Blink spell to go to the shore to enjoy the scenery.
