Dawn of the Ash Tower

The distance between Zhuoliu Town and Valley City is not too far, and because Zhuoliu Town is on the only way to the south of the Earl of Saron, there is a road from the Valley City that was paved by the previous Earl Saron at a large price. The masonry road can be directly reached.Don't underestimate this brick road. In this era, the lords can also use it to prevent the people in the territory from starving to death. Most of the lords don't take the initiative to build their own territories. All valuables were looted into his own castle, and then the gate was locked tightly.In such an environment, one can imagine how valuable a road paved by the lord for the rapid passage of carriages and pedestrians can be.This passage named as the Dragon Throat Trail is also an important part of the supply line of the Valley City during the war, but more often, it shoulders 50.00% of the cargo flow in the Earl of Saron.

"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time. The Dragon Blood River is nothing more than that. If the Dragon's Back Mountain is really a dragon, it makes sense for this river to be called so because it originates from the Dragon's Back Mountain. But why is this river built later? All the roads must be named Dragon Throat Trail? How much did the person who named this road like dragons?" Riding on the road, Cheese asked, for the mage, if he doesn't study something for a while, he I just feel uncomfortable there.Moreover, perhaps it is a professional habit, Cheese always thinks that the names of things and their meanings should be related, and this kind of random naming behavior can only make other people feel troubled. In his opinion, place names should be easy to identify and understand. Memory, so instead of calling it Dragonmaw Trail, it might as well call it Saron Avenue, which is simple and clear.

In fact, the question the mage inadvertently asked is really an allusion from the North, but just like most of the allusions in the North, the two parties in this story are the Saron family who are the lords of the earldom and their imaginary enemies - the Frost Guards .And although both Elsa and Gloria know this story, as the two parties in the story, it is not easy for them to tell each other in front of each other, especially the stories they heard from their parents or other people. There is some kind of ridicule about the other party in the version.So after Cheese asked around and no one answered him, it was Leon, an outsider who was not from the northern border, who answered the mage's doubts.

"To put it simply, it's actually very simple. When the previous generation of Earl Saron built this road, he made a bold statement. He said that with this road, the valley city can be firmly gripped like a pincer. It lives at the throat of the Frost Guard. So I simply named this road the Dragon Throat Path." This short version has omitted all the parts that can be omitted. After all, Leon is not really good at reading the atmosphere, he All the small details that may cause controversy have been skipped, and the story that can be blazed in the bar all night has been transformed into two short sentences in the mouth of the knight leader.

But even so, the three people from Longji Mountain also expressed contempt for this story. They have always been disdainful of the southern nobles' excessive defense against the northerners.Of course Gloria is not unable to understand the thoughts of the proprietress and the others. In fact, the earl's daughter also felt that the hostility of the nobles in the northern border towards the Frost Guard was indeed a bit too much.But as an out-and-out southern nobleman, Gloria didn't dare to say anything, she was afraid that she would make the Frost Guards angry by saying the wrong thing.

But the mage didn't seem to notice the atmosphere in the team. Cheese thought for a while and continued to ask.

"Although I know that the transportation of houses for marching and fighting is very important, but this is only a transportation line, and it is still an open transportation line. If war really happens, Frost will never allow this road to pass freely. The previous Why is Earl Saron so confident?"

"Is this..." Well, the origin of this Dragon Throat Trail is just a chat after dinner for most people. Few people will delve into the true original appearance of this story like Cheese. In fact, even As a military personnel, Lyon's understanding of this road is probably of great strategic value.So the Knight Commander of the kingdom couldn't answer the mage's question.

But Gloria was different. The previous Earl Saron who built the Dragonmaw Path was her grandfather.As a military aristocrat, the family tradition of the Saron family is still very strict. In order to guard against threats from the Northlanders, each Earl of Saron must undergo strict military training. Served in other armies of the kingdom.In short, this kind of family tradition keeps the family relationship of the Saron family from being as chaotic as other nobles. At least there will be no bloody plots like an illegitimate child today and a new wife tomorrow.Thanks to this, the relationship between Gloria and her grandfather is also very good. As the youngest and only female heir of this generation of earls, Gloria has been loved by the previous earl of Saron since she was a child.Because of this, the old gentleman often told Gloria some stories he had experienced or heard when he was a child, so she could answer cheese's questions.

"I remember my grandfather once mentioned this to me. He said about it, and he said... that's right! My grandfather said that this road was blessed when it was built, so as long as the valley city is still there Under the protection of the Saron family, this road will never be destroyed!"

"How can there be a road that will not be destroyed? It's just a story to coax children." "Monkey" whispered from the side.Others, including the knights of the kingdom, actually thought the same thing about what Gloria said. No matter how you look at it, this is a story made up by the old man when coaxing his granddaughter, and it has no credibility.

"Blessing? No wonder..." But Cheese in the crowd didn't think so.The reason why the mage brought the topic to the name of this road was naturally his intention. Now that Gloria mentioned that this road had been blessed, this vaguely confirmed one of his conjectures.

"By the way, Leon, you mentioned that there are so many refugees fleeing to Zhuoliu Town that you have to plan a piece of land outside the town to resettle them, right?" Cheese asked suddenly.

The blood lion was a little puzzled when he heard this, after all, these were indeed what he mentioned to the mage before.

"Yes, those refugees have obvious black spots on their bodies, and they are accompanied by symptoms of fever and convulsions. I think some of them must have turned into ratmen, so that the pharmacists can draw those ridiculous conclusions Now judging from the killing order, these refugees are probably in danger..." The topic mentioned the killing order again, and Leon's tone dropped involuntarily.Thinking that those who massacred those poor refugees might be members of the Knights of the Kingdom who stayed behind, the Knight Commander felt uncomfortable.

"That makes sense!" Who would have thought that cheese would say excitedly after hearing what Leon said.This caused the people around to be a little stunned for a while.

"What makes sense?" Elsa asked.

The mage obviously figured out something, his eyes glowed with excitement, and he explained at a very fast speed.

"Actually, when Leon told me about the situation in Zhuoliu Town, I felt something was wrong. They took in too many refugees. You know, the outbreak of the Ratman Plague is extremely deadly. When the disease occurs, I believe that most of the infected people are not capable of walking to the border by themselves, not to mention judging from the situation along the road, the earliest appearance of the original rat people may be earlier than the arrival of those refugees. In the case of rat people raging It is impossible for these refugees infected with the virus to reach Zhuoliu Town so smoothly. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Now everyone's attention was attracted by the mage. Indeed, it is true that the number of refugees received by Zhuoliu Town is indeed too much.At that time, Leon didn't know the horror of the plague, and just speculated it as an ordinary fatal infectious disease, but now it seems that the wishful thinking at that time may not be tenable.

"Unless this road really has some kind of power that can protect the people on it." The mage continued.

"It's impossible! How can a road protect pedestrians... You mean, that so-called blessing?"

Cheese nodded. He recalled that Heather told him about the reception of refugees in the western border. There were only a few out of ten. The female knight leader once used such words to describe the number of refugees who fled to the western border.Compared with the number of refugees fleeing to the southern border, even if there is a difference in the route, the difference is indeed very large in terms of the number of refugees.

"Anyway, I think we'll know the answer soon." The mage said, tightening the rein and getting off his horse. He wanted to study the mystery of this Dragon's Throat path carefully.Because this is most likely an opportunity to help him find a cure for humans infected by the plague.
