Chapter 347 Orwell's Love
"Old friend, long time no see."

"I haven't written to you for many years, I hope you still remember me."

"Yes, like all the letters I have sent you before, I have another sad news for you."

"[Professor] - I hope you still remember this name. Yes, he is here again... Just like five years ago, he began to study his 'resurrection potion' again. And this time, this madman set his sights on Divinity."

"As far as I know, he should start from Richero this time, then go all the way north, and circle Caral counterclockwise around the border of Fararo. Because Caral has no priests, he probably won't delay you It’s been too long. Remember, you must exercise restraint, and don’t have any conflicts with him—conflicts of any kind. I hope you still remember how warm the City of Fortune was at the end.”

"Absolutely don't take in any priests, absolutely don't take in any priests - let them appear near Richero. The professor is different from those alchemists, he will never keep his hands in battle... Of course, if you happen to be there If you imprison a priest, you may be able to reach some deals with the professor."

"I wish you peace, my friend. I will get to you as soon as possible, and you must wait for me."

"—Your dear, Farina."

Wearing a monocle, a neatly dressed and clean middle-aged man sat in the study room, gently rubbing the letter paper that seemed to have a bit of fragrance.

"Falina..."

He murmured, and the fingers of his right hand brushed the letter paper very gently, as if stroking a lover's cheek.

Not bad actually.

If it weren't for chance, Falina Luteng would have become his wife long ago.It was just because his father couldn't stand Farina's dirty background and her identity as a female druid.

Although the status of Druid would add dignity to a man, it would alienate people if placed on a woman.

In the patriarchal Karal, only female members of the druid order have the right to actively participate in wars, the right to become a lord, and the right to divorce their husbands.Although marrying a female druid means decades of good weather for the territory, and the child will inevitably become a druid, there are still a large number of Karal nobles who cannot accept the existence of female druids.

In addition to Druids, more than 200% of the Karal people were Bantha people [-] years ago.The traditions of the Bantha naturally influenced them as well.

In Bantha, women cannot become priests of Tyre.This means that women are inherently much less accessible than men on the bantha path to priesthood.As a nun, if you don't become a saint, you will be the abbot at the highest level in your life.

Sivir will accept some sacrificial dancing girls.But what they do is nothing more than singing war songs or seeing off soldiers with sword dances—and in other cases, they are just a group of noble concubines.

Probably because the founding of Karal was too short, many Karal people still remember their own history.They have never forgotten that they are the Principality that became independent from Bansa, and their ancestors were Bansa people.

From the perspective of civilization inheritance, this may be a good thing.But this also means that many Caral people will subconsciously forget the Druid law when they encounter disputes, and use the customary law of the Bantha people instead.This form is very common in the folk.

It is clear that Druids advocate equality between men and women, it is clear that Druids advocate recycling, and it is clear that Druids encourage the creation of poetry, but the Karal people still subconsciously regard women as accessories of men, and like to talk about meaningless ostentation. At the same time, poetry is regarded as a moaning without any use.

But they don't like to read the history of the mainland and study the history of various countries like the Bansa people.If it is said that the Caral people will do academic research that only they can do, then it is probably the biography of legendary figures.

This kind of biography, which is no different from knight novels in a sense, is not a very reliable biography, but it is the usual pastime of the Karal people.As for how unreliable it is, one only needs to take a look at "Dwarf King" Rolnis.

And Earl Orwell's family is a real old family.

Before their family became Earls of Caral, they had been a Viscount of Bansa.Because of some sponsorship given to Lord White Wolf at the beginning, after Lord White Wolf conquered the land of Karal, their family received an invitation from the first Grand Duke of Karal.

A title of earl, an earldom - although it is not a wise move to abandon the viscounty that the family has run for several generations, Orwell's grandfather is also a decisive person who has seized the opportunity of development knowingly.

Therefore, Earl Orwell's grandfather chose to leave from Bansa without hesitation, and led his subjects to trek across mountains and rivers to this piece of land independent from Bansa. The viscount became the earl.And his people also shared a lot of pressure on the newly independent Karal.

However, the Orwell family never forgot that the blood of the noble Bansa nobles flowed through their bodies.

That was Bansa—a country as old as Elcate.If you go back more than 1000 years, half of Su Ze and Titan are the duchies split from the current Bansa.

At that time, the southern countries had not been crushed and devoured by the "abyss of the sea level", and the current position of Titan can be regarded as the north.

But thousands of years ago, when the saint had just left, the demons invaded from the south.

At that time, the gods had not yet been born, and almost no one could resist these demons. They raged in the southern countries without any resistance.

The southern countries can only choose to transport a few inheritances to Titan, and then directly destroy the large-scale Lu Chen and demon army.And these lines of inheritance are the first generation of Titans.Except for these very few silver species, most of their nationals are Bantha.

It can be said that Titan can also be regarded as a part of Bansa.

Now that Elcate has become a country of ruins, the Bantha generally believe that they have the most noble blood in the world.This arrogance convinced them of the correctness of their civilization's traditions.

Orwell's father could not tolerate his child marrying a former nightingale and female druid anyway.He was the one who told the professor about Farina's existence and drove her around.

Although his father died suddenly inexplicably, Farina still could not return to Richero until he forced Orwell, who was only 17 years old at the time, to marry.Later, after Farina learned that Orwell was married and had children, she never wrote to him again.

And now... this is the first letter in five years.

"Falina..."

Just thinking about it makes me so happy.

He whispered, feeling the scorching fire of love running across his back, like scorching fingers gently scratching the skin, a current crackled along the spine, making Orwell tremble with excitement.

Yes... as long as he has this thing, Farina will never leave him.

Orwell reached into his inner pocket with trembling hands, felt the small bottle that the venerable old scholar handed him, and smiled unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

A dim yellow light flashed in his eyes.
