The next morning, they finally arrived at Yamei Province.
Shannon was no longer on the ship.
At four o 'clock in the morning, Angor moved Shannon to Metalbreak Province, which was close to Yamei Province. Shannon was still feeling dizzy because she couldn't adapt to flying at high altitudes.
Considering her condition, Angor asked for directions to Yamei Province and dropped her off at Maynooth, the largest city in Metalbreak Province. After making sure that Shannon could still move, Angor took Gondola to Yamei Province.
As the sun slowly rose, Gondola flew to the sky above Waterford.
Waterford wasn't one of the largest cities in Yamei Province, but it was the closest city to Grue Town. In Angor's memory, Waterford used to be a huge city with no end in sight. However, after visiting all kinds of cities, he realized that Waterford was only a little bigger than Freighting Town.
The Land of Revelation's Freighting Town. Even from a distance, one could see its unique personality. It was full of literature and innovation. But Waterford … even Tulu couldn't help but feel that it was a little cold and old-fashioned. There were a few tall buildings in the city, but most of the buildings were made of black stones, which made the whole city look the same. The only thing worth mentioning about the city was that the buildings were arranged in a strict and orderly manner. But from another perspective, it was just too old-fashioned.
"Mister Padt, look over there," Tulu said as he pointed at a certain spot.
Angor had been observing the city since he was a child, so he already knew where Tulu was pointing.
It was the city gate of Waterford.
Outside the gate, a group of people in ragged clothes were waiting. When the morning sun reached the city gate, the city guards slowly opened it, and these people, who looked like refugees, rushed into Waterford.
"They're refugees?" Tulu asked curiously.
"Refugees from the war," Angor said. Following Heylan's victory, the refugees from Coastal Province began to flock to the nearby provinces. Yamei Province was the closest province to the frontline. It wasn't the first choice for refugees, but it still had the Morn Family's army stationed here.
Angor looked at the villages that were destroyed in Raven Province, and then at the group of emaciated refugees.
It was clear that this war had a huge impact on the Goldspink Empire.
Back when Tawny was still on Gondola, Tawny asked Tawny how Heylan managed to win, but Tawny didn't know the answer herself. Tawny was a guest at Sumer three months ago, and she didn't see any signs of Heylan winning. It seemed like the stalemate would last for a long time. But several days later, Shannon received news that several provinces along the coast had fallen, and Raven Province was taken as well.
"Speaking of the war between Goldspink and Heylan, I heard from Shannon that it's been a stalemate for seven to eight years. "Heylan's war," Tulu's's's, "Tulu said.
"It is. But let's not think about it for now. Let's go back to Grue Town first."
Angor's's's right, he's's's's.. . and Shannon, Shannon's and Shannon, and Shannon's's.'s's.
'''s........ '' '' ''s days days.
Soon, they saw Grue Town, which was located between the mountains and the grassland.
It had been years since Angor last saw the familiar town, and he should be happy to see it again. But before he could get close to Grue Town, he already had a bad feeling about it.
"Stop," Angor called out.
"What's wrong, Mister Padt?" Tulu asked with a puzzled look as Gondola hid behind the clouds.
"Something's not right here."
Tulu poked his head out of the window and looked at the small town that was dotted with green houses through the thin clouds.
He couldn't see the town clearly due to the distance. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with the town, except for its small size.
"I sensed something strange." Angor explained in a small voice, "That's right."
In his vision, the town was shrouded in a strange aura. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong at the moment.
Angor's expression turned grim. He was about to return home, only to find something wrong with the town. This was probably the last thing he wanted to see.
To be safe, he didn't fly the airship to the town directly. Instead, he ordered Tulu to land in the forest and slowly walked toward Grue Town.
The closer he got to the town, the more cautious he became. Tulu, on the other hand, didn't notice Angor's nervousness at all.
Half an hour later, they walked out of the forest under the bright sun.
Up ahead, they could vaguely see the outpost of Grue Town. As usual, it was guarded by the town's guards. But they were still too far away to see if there was anyone on the outpost.
There was no one around, but it looked like it had been cultivated before. There were no weeds, and new plants were growing in the fields.
Angor assumed that someone was taking care of the fields.
Five minutes later, he saw a fully armored guard standing on the sentry post, and he felt a little relieved.
The fact that there were still guards meant that Grue Town was still in order.
Angor was worried that something bad might happen to the town, just like the destroyed villages in Raven Province. Judging from the current situation, it seemed to be okay.
But he couldn't let his guard down yet. He was still worried about his brother's safety.
When they arrived, the guards on the sentry post fixed their gazes on them.
Most of the guard's attention was on Tulu, who was wearing a hood that covered most of his face.
"Who are you? What business do you have in Grue Town? " Before entering the town, the guard immediately asked. However, his attitude was still quite amiable. The two people in front of him were dressed normally. At the very least, he could tell from the cloth that they were wearing that they weren't refugees.
Tulu's accent was too strong, so Angor didn't let him talk. "I'm from Konya, and I'm here to see an old friend."
Konya was the largest city in Yamei Province.
Angor purposely showed his strong aristocratic accent, and as expected, the guard's expression softened.
He didn't even pay much attention to Angor's crumpled clothes. He assumed that Angor was just a poor noble.
"Who's your old friend, mister? I'm Jordan, the guard of Grue Town. I can show you the way. "
Jordan's guard? Angor thought for a moment and remembered that the son of the town's sheriff was called Jordan. But Angor never saw him before because he was studying in another city.
"I'm here to see Viscount Padt. We've been friends for many years." Angor smiled. "I'm here to talk to him about something."
When Angor mentioned Viscount Padt's name, the guard's expression changed.
"What's wrong?" Angor noticed the change in the man's eyes. "What's wrong? Is Viscount Padt not here? "
The guard gulped and looked around to make sure no one was looking. "If you're looking for Viscount Padt, I suggest you go back."
"Why?" Angor didn't show any change in his expression, but he was already worried. "Viscount Padt isn't here?"
"I don't know. Maybe." The guard looked hesitant.
"What the hell happened?" Angor saw that the guard didn't want to talk. "If you don't want to talk, take me to Knight George. He was the one who welcomed me when I came to Grue Town five years ago."
Knight George was the town's sheriff. If Angor remembered correctly, Knight George was Jordan's father.
Jordan's expression changed again when he heard Angor's name. He thought for a moment. He did not know if he should tell them that the Viscount's mansion was closed, so he simply said, "If that's the case, I'll take you to Knight George."
Jordan led the two of them into the town. Along the way, people took the initiative to greet Jordan. Angor felt a sense of relief when he saw many familiar faces. But when he thought about Jordan's hesitation toward Viscount Padt, he quickly forgot about it.
Besides, he still couldn't sense where the strange atmosphere came from. Did they really come from Padt Manor?
Angor's eyes dimmed a little.
"Little Jordan, why aren't you on duty? Why are you running around? And who are these two? " When the door of a large wooden house was pushed open, a burly middle-aged man walked out.
"Dad, they're —" Before the guard could finish, the middle-aged man smacked him hard on the head.
"I warned you. Call me Mister Sheriff when you're working!"
"Mister Sheriff!" Jordan put a hand on his head.
The middle-aged man was George. He looked at Angor and Tulu. "Who are they?"
"Mister Sheriff, he's here to see Viscount Padt. He said he's a friend of Viscount Padt, and that you met him five years ago. I can't make up my mind, so I came to see you. "
George looked at Angor from head to toe with a grim expression. A moment later, he drew Jordan's sword and pointed it at Angor. "You're lying. I've never seen you before. Who are you?! What are you doing here? "
Jordan was also stunned. Why were they suddenly at daggers drawn?
Angor stared at George quietly. A moment later, he slowly turned around and closed the door behind him.
When the door was closed, Angor suddenly spoke in a soft voice.
"Mister George, long time no see."
