The little girl looked at Gao Wen a little blankly and asked curiously: "Do you know my name?"

Gao Wen smiled and gently touched the little girl's hair: "You seem to know me too."

"You are Gao Wen, a great hero a long time ago!" the little girl said happily, but there was a hint of hoarseness in her voice, which was very different from the crisp and pleasant voice in the dream world. "Dad has told me your story before... The maids are all saying, "You are in the castle..."

As the little girl talked, her breath couldn't keep up, so she stopped and started to breathe. She seemed too excited to forget her physical condition. Seeing this, Gao Wen quickly said, "Speak slowly, don't worry, I'm going to stay here for a while."

"My God..." Amber's voice came from behind Gao Wen at this time. The half-elf had a feeling of unbearableness on her face and her tone was full of astonishment, "How could she do this..."

The maid standing behind the chair lowered her head and looked very frightened in front of Viscount Roppennie: "I'm sorry, hostess, but Miss Patty..."

"I know," the viscount's wife looked at her daughter, but her tone was full of helplessness, "Take the lady back to her room to rest."

Patty immediately tried to raise her head: "But mom, I want to..."

"As you please go back to your room to rest." Viscount Penny Ronaldo emphasized again, and then looked at Gao Wen with a little hesitation. Gao Wen took the initiative to go forward and said to the little girl, "Listen to your mother, go back and rest first, I will go see you."

"We must come!" Patty blinked her bright big eyes and looked at Gao Wen. She had no idea that this was the "Uncle Selsi" she had seen many times in the spiritual network, but she was just interested in a "protagonist" who came out of the story.

Faced with the little girl's expectations, Gao Wen just smiled and nodded.

The maid took Patty away, using the chair that looked particularly made, like some kind of a simple wheelchair. Gao Wen watched their figures disappear into the deep corridor of the castle, and then turned to look at Viscount Roppennie: "How did she become like this?"

The Viscountess obviously did not want to mention this topic, and the answer was very vague: "When she was young, she encountered a fire."

"Fire?" Gao Wen shook his head, "It was the accident that Viscount Glen encountered by Roman?..."

Roman Glen was the husband of Ropeni Glen, the previous lord of Viscount Glen, the young nobleman who was "crazy, arrogant, and cursed" in the mouths of the nobles and bards.

Penny Rod's expression was obviously slightly stiff, and her eyes also had a hint of indifference and alienation. She turned to the door of the banquet hall and took a breath: "Sir Duke, we shouldn't let the guests wait too long."

"A dance can last until dawn, and the host will leave the venue and will have a housekeeper to handle everything," Gao Wen said lightly behind Penny Rowe, "We may be able to talk about the 'Land Act' and 'Free Civil Law'."

Penny Rodriguez stopped and turned his head to stare into Gao Wen's eyes.

Gao Wen said lightly: "Let the people inside wait-their time is not precious."

“I’m not interested in the topics you raise,” said the Viscountess, “those are the products of failure and error.”

Gao Wen looked at the other party with a smile: "Aren't you curious about why your husband failed back then?"

Penny Ronaldinho was silent for a moment, waved his hand to the housekeeper who had just come out of the hall to observe the situation, and then looked at Gao Wen after giving some instructions: "We can go to the study on the second floor. But I still want to emphasize that I have no interest in the things you are going to talk about."

Gao Wen and Amber followed the viscount's wife, and soon arrived at the study room on the second floor of the castle. In this study, Gao Wen saw the portrait of Viscount Roman Glen again - the smiling young man sitting in the picture frame, as if he was still working in the study room.

But what embarrassingly made Gao Wen was that there was another painting hanging opposite the portrait of Viscount Roman Glen, which was him... He stood on the high hill with the sword of the Blazer and the shield of the Guardian, looking majestic in front of him. It was the most widely circulated image of Gao Wen Cecil.

Amber immediately poked Gao Wen in the waist: "Hey, look, you're hanging on the wall!"

Gao Wen kept dodging Amber's fingers and spoke awkwardly: "I thought after I 'get up', everyone had already taken my portrait off the wall..."

"My husband regards you as an idol," said Viscount Penny Rowe indifferently, "after he left, the study room always maintained its original furnishings."

Gao Wen nodded silently, walked to the desk, and gently tapped the table: "Did he write down the civil law here back then?"

"I said that it was a product of failure and mistakes - later facts proved everything," said Roppeni coldly, "so is this your real purpose here? It is not to meet new neighbors, nor to discuss business, but to discuss the mistakes my husband made during his lifetime?"

"No, the original purpose of my visit was really just to visit. After learning about Viscount Romain Glen, I also became interested in his life, but I don't think I could summarize everything about him in the simple word "wrong".

Gao Wen said slowly, and the deeds of Viscount Roman Glen in his mind, which were investigated by Amber, were slowly pieced together in his mind. After erasing the parts that were deliberately distorted and misinterpreted by the ignorant world, the image of a pioneer of reform gradually emerged in his mind.

"All slave trade is forbidden, all serfs and slaves in the territory are liberated into free people; remeasure the land, confiscate all over the order, unjust, unregistered land and distribute it to the new free people; allow anyone to do business, work, hunt, and cultivate, and cancel the "untouchable restriction law" in the territory, allowing free slaves to learn craftsmanship and become craftsmen; cancel the privilege of children of nobles becoming knights, so that civilians, like children of nobles, can accept the selection of knight apprentices..."

Gao Wen said one by one, watching Roppenni Glen's expression become gloomy little by little, and finally he shook his head: "It's all great ideas."

That's right, this is what Gao Wen has learned about Viscount Roman Glen after investigation and sorting through the Military Intelligence Bureau.

A pioneer who stood up before he lifted the coffin and tried to change this era.

Ten years ago, a young southern aristocrat woke up. He saw the darkness and filth hidden under prosperity with a different perspective than ordinary people, realized the backwardness of Ansu's current system, realized the restrictions of the aristocratic system on this society, realized the unwarranted oppression of various traditional laws on the common people, and the productivity wasted in this oppression process. He may even have realized the power of the people - or at least the "value" of the people.

Then he launched reforms, and carried out reforms with the spirit of young people.

In the initial stage, the lord's strong authority and the slow and clumsy system of the old aristocratic system allowed his reform to start smoothly. He implemented new laws in some territories and gained some results...

But this initial stage is extremely short.

The rebound power was extremely fierce, and almost no one understood what the young noble did. He was named "nervous", "rebellious", and "bewitched by the devil's mind". Almost in the blink of an eye, the young and promising viscount became the spokesperson for the crime of destroying the kingdom order and corruption of the nobles' traditions. Almost half of the southern border criticized him.

After that the records became blurred and messy, and there was no reliable text or unreliable bard who could describe what happened after that, Amber only found the final outcome of Roman Glen from a certain scattered folk book:

"On that stormy night, Viscount entered his test site. He wanted to continue to seek forbidden knowledge to fill his eternal hungry stomach sac-but fortunately stopped the gods in time and sent a holy messenger to end the Viscount's madness. A fire fell from the sky, and the purified flames shone brightly!"

The book of poems is mostly from some bold bard, and the courageous bard... I'm afraid it has been hanged in a square, so it is impossible to find its source.

But Penny Ronaldinho still remembers what happened at that time:

"The thugs rushed into the castle. They were dressed in mercenaries and civilians, mixed with knights and mages with extraordinary abilities. They rushed up the mountain, broke the gate, and rushed into the inner hall. The knights and mages who were supposed to guard the castle disappeared at the critical moment. My husband could only face the thugs alone... until the magic center of the castle exploded," Roppenni said with a cold face, "Then the thugs suddenly stopped, and the 'reinforcements' from several lords around arrived in time. After a scramble, the thugs retreated, my husband died, and my daughter was dying..."

Gao Wen looked at Ropene in the eyes: "Because the nobles must be maintained, the 'mob' can attack the castle and kill the nobles, but the castle must not be captured and a surname must not be destroyed - so the person behind the scenes must jump out at a critical moment, and after the mobs complete the impact, they will appear as the messenger of justice to clear away all disgraceful evidence."

"You really have a look of a torch," Roppeni sneered, "So do you know what happened later?"

"In a liquidation and transaction, you expressed your willingness to return to the right path, and the nobles declared that Viscount Glen was cursed by the devil, so his temperament changed drastically. The mob that hit the castle was found guilty, hundreds of people were hanged on the walls of Glen Castle, and the bodies were dried up and thrown off the cliff - justice was advanced and order was returned to the right track, at least that's what people thought."

Viscount Roppeni suddenly gritted her teeth, and the muscles on her cheeks trembled uncontrollably: "Do you know who are the people who hit the castle and then hanged?"

Gao Wen had a expressionless expression: "The only people who could be caught and convicted were ordinary people without extraordinary power, the knights and mages who were mixed in the crowd, those who really "exerted great power", ran away from the beginning, so the serfs who obtained the land, the civilians who were allowed to do business, and the hunters and craftsmen who became rich after the implementation of the new bill - on the gates of the castle, there were not only traces of swords, but also dents knocked out by pitchforks and hoes, which were conclusive evidence."
