Master of Thermodynamics

Even Renault did not expect that after forcing Igos to be loyal, he actually received an unexpected effect.

The guy Igos seems to have accepted his situation quickly. Instead of having much resistance, he behaved more cooperatively than before. He even took the initiative to find Renault to share what he had learned about the "North-South dispute", and Some related speculations are explained in detail.

It can also be seen from this point that although the aliens are a little bit of a turtle, there are not many pure fools in their hearts.

As far as Igos is concerned, since he has been on the thief ship, why not cooperate a little?

The more he can show his value, the more attention he can get from Renault. Correspondingly, the more secure his safety is, the better he will be treated when he arrives in the Tide Islands in the future.

Conversely, if you don’t cooperate everywhere, what benefits can this kind of brain-disabled behavior get apart from being unhappy?

"Lord Lord, you don’t know. In the past hundreds of years, almost all the trade routes between the Thousand Lake Kingdom and the Mushan Kingdom, the Bailing Kingdom, and the Fox Kingdom have been monopolized by the northern nobles, and the southern nobles have been used by them. The means were squeezed out, and the North and South had accumulated huge contradictions..."

"...The South had to vigorously develop trade with the Xinghai Continent, but maritime trade is quite dangerous. Even in the non-storm season, there is a kind of'Thunderprint Unicorn Shark' on the route from the Thousand Lake Kingdom to the Xinghai Continent. Large sea monsters frequent the thunderstroke unicorn sharks, and the thunderstroke unicorn sharks are extremely aggressive. Even a large sailing ship of the thousand-ton level is in danger of sinking after encountering the thunderstroke unicorn shark..."

"...The merchants in the south don't know how much they have paid, how many sailing ships and sailors they have lost. Only then did they find a way to deal with thunderstroke unicorn sharks and finally cleared the channel. Since then, maritime shipping has flourished... …"

"...However, with the rise of the Black Orcs, in just over two decades, the great human kingdoms in the northern part of the mainland have all fallen, which also means that the northern business roads are completely cut off, and the northern nobles have to find a new way out. At that time, many northern aristocrats targeted the Xinghai Continent, trying to compete for the southern aristocrats’ trade share..."

"...So the contradiction between the north and the south has also become more and more fierce. The earth-abiding laws advocated by the South are actually a counterattack launched by the southern aristocracy under unbearable circumstances..."

Regarding the background introduction of the North-South dispute, Iggos told a long time, and also told Renault a long, long story.

Obviously, the core contradiction of the North-South dispute is trade routes. In the final analysis, it is profit, because trade routes represent Kinnar.

In the Kingdom of the Thousand Lakes, the kingdom that attaches the most importance to commerce, the nobles of the north and south have fought openly and secretly for the golden Jinnar for hundreds of years, and both sides have suffered huge sacrifices.

There are cunning calculations, the tragic fighting in the shadows, the loyalty and betrayal, and the more courageous and fearless conquering. To a certain extent, this is definitely an epic and magnificent historical picture.

Renault sighed long, and asked in a deep voice:

"So, what happened to us was actually because of observing the local laws, the northern aristocracy's revenge against the southern aristocracy?"

After understanding the background, Renault already knew that the Yankee Awakener's words "want to kill millions of civilians on the northern border" obviously meant abiding by the local laws.

Although these remarks are a bit shameless, because this is not "putting the common people to death" at all, but "putting the nobles to death", those lofty gentlemen, have they ever cared about the life and death of the ass?

Knowing this, the truth is ready to come out.

The fight that took place not long ago was definitely the Yankee's cruel revenge against the Southerner. The "Earl of Nordrad" mentioned by the Awakener must have a deep connection with the law of observance of the soil, otherwise the Yankee would not take it. Ruthless.

Igos's answer confirmed Renault's guess.

"My lord, according to rumors, the proponent of the'Law of Observance of the Land' was the Earl of Nordrad in the south of the kingdom. This Earl had an extremely close relationship with the leader of the aristocracy in the south, Duke Mindik. With this proposal, the Duke united a large number of southern aristocrats in an attempt to vigorously promote this decree in the Senate..."

Renault nodded when he heard this, which made sense.

No wonder the Yankees planned this attack. Count Nordrard proposed such a vicious plan. Of course, the northern nobles would regard it as a thorn in their eyes. They can't help but hurry up. Once the count's men set foot on the northern lands, they are doomed. There will be many dangers.

He asked another question that had been in his mind for a long time:

"Igos, do you think the Lord Duke of Castro, the Thunder Eagle, might be involved in this attack?"

Igos thought for a while and said:

"I think Lord Thunder Eagle probably knows it. At the level of the entire kingdom, the northern aristocracy occupies a dominant position in the army, and the southern aristocracy's advantage is in the ocean."

"Most of the tens of thousands of private soldiers of the nobles in Leiyun Fortress are from the north. If your Excellency Thunder Eagle wants to integrate them, you must first win the support of most of the northern nobles."

"I feel that it is not accidental that these private soldiers of the Count Nordrad appeared here. The planners behind this attack should be not only a few northern nobles, but a large number of nobles..."

Renault was silent for a while, and said a news that shocked Igos.

"I met a very powerful fire supernatural being on the hill side. In order to prevent the information from leaking, I also killed him easily..."

At this time, he was surprised. He wondered which nobleman had such a great face, that even the veterans of the extraordinary could be moved, and it was such a "small thing" that did not require the extraordinary, if it was a large group of nobles. Get up, there is indeed this power.

After hesitating, Renault added:

"By the way, that guy will use the'flaming spear', which is quite powerful..."

Eagleston was shocked and asked:

"Lord Lord, does that extraordinary person look almost 50 years old, with a small scar on his right face?"

Renault recalled for a moment, nodding affirmatively.

Iggos' eyes suddenly showed deep awe, and he bowed his head respectfully, and sighed:

"Lord Lord, the extraordinary person killed by you should be Lord Eoria, known as the Spear of the Vulcan. He has a very big reputation throughout the Thousand Lakes Kingdom. I did not expect that he would die in You have..."

He started again shamelessly and frantically:

"Your power is strong enough to dim the glory of Ya'an, and your prestige will surely resound through the human world..."

Renault just curled his lips, and his ears automatically filtered Igos's flattery.

What kind of **** "Vulcan's Spear", the nickname is awesome, and even the master's blow can't stop it, and he was directly bombed into scum.

Pooh, I'm so proud of the "Vulcan" banner. I think the little matches are pretty much the same...

Forget it, looking at the face of the big gift package that the partner gave, I don’t bother to slander him...

Hey, take the manpower short...

At noon the next day, Renault and his party finally arrived in Torres City.

Due to the imminent invasion of the Black Orcs, this small town, which is only 200 kilometers away from the northern border, looks a lot depressed. Pedestrians walking on the street are sparse. Renault also noticed many shops on both sides of the road. Closed tightly.

Obviously, most of the merchants who run the shop have moved away.

Looking at this posture, people with a little ability may choose to leave Torres City in order to avoid the coming war.

As time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer people in the city, and only the poor and poor have nowhere to go and can only stay here and die.

Judging from this trend, it is estimated that before the black **** hit Torres City, this small town will become half-empty, and the local business environment will also be on the verge of collapse.

Renault did not intend to stay too much in Torres City. At his order, Igos hired a half-year-old child for a few copper nars and asked the child to lead them to the pier in the west of the city.

The raindrops fell into a mud pit where muddy mud water was gathered. There were ripples and a lot of water splashes. A black leather boot suddenly stepped into the mud pit with a "pouch" sound, and the mud mixed with rainwater splashed around. Shoot.

After the leather boots were lifted, a deep footprint was left in place, as well as a mud pit that was completely trampled down. The nearby rainwater quickly flowed over, filling the footprints and forming a new water pool.

"Have you found Eoria's whereabouts?" The owner of the footprints, a middle-aged strong man nearly 2 meters tall, asked coldly.

He has high brows and a pretty handsome face. The only flaw is that a hooked nose makes his temperament look a little shameful.

An entourage who followed the brawny man stepped forward and nodded and said:

"Your Excellency Arafat, we followed the traces of the'flame step' all the way to the past. At a position 5 kilometers ahead, the traces completely disappeared. Only some suspected human tissues were found. There were a lot of things on the ground and in the grass. Blood stains."

"In addition, there is a large burnt mark on the ground, which seems to have burned violently..."

Arafat interrupted his entourage directly:

"Burning? Is it a trace of extraordinary fire?"

The entourage shook his head:

"It should not be an extraordinary fire, but judging from the traces left on the scene, its temperature is not lower than that of an extraordinary fire. Snowd has checked it with special means and can confirm that there is a wave of magic energy remaining in it..."

There was a trace of confusion in Arafat's eyes, and he murmured to himself:

"Magic energy fluctuations? Is it some kind of strange thing? Eoria, this **** fellow, are you really dead or faked death..."
