NFBE Chapter 905: The Great Flame of Early Winter
Chapter 905: The Great Flame of Early Winter
More than a month has passed.
Lyon has traveled across half of the Holy Empire.
The Holy Empire is simply too large, and with the arrival of winter, the entire country is gradually entering a cooling-off period.
Many people have already started preparing for winter.
Although Da Yan has already opened a large number of factories in the Holy Empire.
But the population of the Holy Empire is as high as hundreds of millions.
There are simply not so many jobs in the factory, so many people are engaged in jobs that support the factory.
For example, many people rely on shipping to support their families.
It was winter, and the canal was frozen.
These people have no choice but to return to their hometowns.
Spend the long winter in your own home.
But many people cannot sit idle. After returning to their hometowns, they begin to find ways to make a living.
But most of their means of livelihood are hunting in the forest.
Doing so might catch some prey, but it would only be a drop in the bucket.
Some smart people choose to dry and smoke the prey to make bacon for long-term preservation to use during this cold winter.
But prey is not available every day, and some people return empty-handed every day.
This evening.
In a remote small village.
A group of women are eagerly waiting.
Because their men were coming back from the mountains.
As the sky gets darker, the sun is about to set in the distance.
A group of men were walking back slowly with prey in their hands.
When they saw the group of men, the women who had been waiting for a long time cheered instantly.
Because they finally waited for their husbands to come back.
But today an unusual person came to the village.
An ordinary-looking man came to the village with five beautiful women and two little girls who looked like porcelain dolls.
After explaining the situation to the village chief, he kept the group without hesitation.
These women carefully discovered that there were suddenly many strangers around the village.
However, these strangers had no intention of entering the village. Instead, they wandered around the village.
Some women were very keen to notice that these strangers seemed to intentionally keep a distance from the village, but there was more protection in their eyes.
Because most of their alert directions are towards the periphery.
Almost never entered the village.
What exactly are this man and those women like?
Because these women discovered that today alone, different men in black appeared outside the village.
The women ordered some, and there were seven or eight batches in total.
These are all agents of the Intelligence Bureau, and their mission is to protect Leon.
The women greeted the returning men.
Took their prey from them.
But some women were slightly stunned when they saw the men returning empty-handed.
But after a brief moment of daze, the women quickly smiled again.
What if she didn't catch any prey? As long as her husband came back alive and unharmed, that would be the best gift.
The village chief's home.
Leon was sitting by the campfire with a copy of the Continental Chronicle.
The ancestors of the village chief were considered local gentry, and their family had four or five houses passed down.
One of them is specially used for heating in winter.
The village chief did not dare to neglect them. After learning of Lyon's identity, he hurriedly invited Lyon and his party into the room to warm themselves by the fire and served them delicious food and drinks.
They even brought a lot of snacks for the New Year.
The Holy Empire also has the custom of celebrating the New Year, but this New Year did not exist since ancient times.
But it was passed down by Kuneberg.
This story begins when Kuneberg besieged the Elf Empire.
Once Kuneberg led the army of the Holy Empire to sweep across the continent.
I am fighting almost all year round.
There is war everywhere on the continent.
It was winter when Kuneberg led the Holy Empire Army to attack the capital of the Elf Empire.
The two sides fought a desperate battle outside the capital of the Elf Empire.
After more than half a month of war, both the elves and humans suffered heavy casualties.
And the cold began to consume everything.
But the elves were already at the end of their strength, but they still defended the capital of the Elf Empire.
As if defending the last dignity of their elves.
Kuneberg was moved, but at the same time he also remembered the killings he had committed in the battles over the years.
So Kueneberg decided to make that day Armistice Day.
No matter who it is, war will not be allowed on Armistice Day.
Soon, Armistice Day spread to various countries.
But in the Holy Empire it has evolved into a traditional festival.
Because almost all the people of the Holy Empire at that time participated in that huge war of unification.
Almost every family has someone who has served in the army, and most people have experienced relatives dying in war.
That's why they hate war.
They hate war and regard Armistice Day as extremely important.
On that day they will choose to show their happiest scene.
No matter who you are, you must be happy on that day.
This traditional festival has been preserved.
In fact, Lyon also wanted to celebrate this festival before, but what a coincidence.
The first New Year coincided with the Winter of Divine Punishment, and the second New Year coincided with the Battle of Kursk.
What happened before Leon came to the Territory of Sin?
Leon, a child who no one cares about, can only support each other with his mother Irina and eat a reunion dinner with only the two of them...
So Leon longs for the lives of these ordinary people.
Yunli and Moqi, two little foodies, were eating the snacks sent by the village chief like crazy.
Although the village chief's daughter-in-law was a little reluctant, she still chose to give the two children their New Year's goods.
Because these two kids are so cute...
The daughter-in-law wanted a child of her own, but she and her husband had only been married for less than a year.
Naturally, Leon also noticed the embarrassment of this family.
So he gave part of the money to the village chief.
Used to compensate the village family.
Currently, only the village chief knows Leon's identity.
Lyon walked around the village all day and witnessed the efforts these ordinary people made to survive the winter.
The village chief's son rushed back excitedly.
He was holding two rabbits he had just shot today.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a room full of people.
What's happening here?
The village chief's son was dumbfounded.
Leon held the book and smiled at the village chief's son.
The village chief's son looked at Leon and the five beauties around him, couldn't help swallowing, and then looked at his father.
These people are...
The village chief did not help his son solve his problem.
Because knowing too much is not a good thing.
If their identities were really known, the village chief's son would most likely be involved.
The village chief's son didn't care about all this. He rushed to his wife and hugged her.
"Wife, do you know? I shot three rabbits today, and I gave one rabbit to another person who was traveling with me because he returned empty-handed, and his wife caught a cold. How can she recover without eating some meat..."
The man lowered his head as he spoke, because he also knew that life at home was not easy.
"It's okay, we're all from the same village, let's help if we can!"
The woman cleared the fallen snow off her man's head.
Leon quietly watched this peaceful and harmonious scene from the side.
(Good night(T^T))
