Chapter 446 It feels like a lifetime ago
The first thing Connor thought of was that Augustine did not cancel the engagement, but then he heard the news from Issa that Capet and Anjou had been destroyed.
This made Connor even more stunned.
The shock of hearing this news shocked Connor even more than looking directly at the white light of destruction.
"You mean, in the outside world..."
"There's war in the North."
"The Capetian coup."
"My son-in-law took control of Cape with my daughter?"
"That white light was also caused by my son-in-law?"
"In the end, my son-in-law went straight from being the Governor of the North to unifying the two kingdoms and became the Emperor of the Empire, and Reina is the only Queen?"
Isa nodded while looking at Connor who looked incredulous.
Connor's mouth opened wider and wider, and his originally melancholy face now looked a little abstract because of his dislocated jaw. This was even wilder than the wildest rumors Connor had ever heard, especially when he heard the rumors about Rena's extraordinary talent.
Not only Connor, but everyone else in Hidden Mountain Territory was becoming more and more shocked as they listened. If Connor's mouth was almost dislocated, then Rubin and Theodore's mouths were about to fall to the ground.
"Saint, are you sure that the queen is Reina, not Ruby?"
Isa frowned and said seriously: "According to the imperial law, it is illegal to marry a girl of Ruby's age!"
"But Reina, are you sure?"
Obviously, even Connor couldn't believe it, not to mention that Reina was famous for her "wisdom".
Connor wanted to say something more, but then he thought that maybe time really could change a person, so he didn't say anything else. Maybe Lena has really grown up?
Isa obviously didn't know how to explain it, so she said, "I will send someone to take you to the capital of the empire. You will know when you arrive there."
Then Isa looked at Theodore again: "From the Randolph family, right?"
Theodore, who was still in shock just now, heard the name of his family. He immediately came to Isa eagerly and said humbly, "Yes, yes, Saint Lady."
But before he could finish his words, someone restrained Theodore.
"The Randolph family is currently under investigation. You can go along and see if you can provide some clues."
Upon hearing this, Theodore trembled all over and was then dragged out.
Rubin took a lot of effort to press his dislocated jaw back. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out. He could only stare at Connor in a daze. Prima beside Connor shrank back in inferiority. Everything that happened today was too magical, so that no one present was mentally prepared.
Looking at the people present, Rubin knew that in the next few years, there would be no shortage of topics to talk about in Hidden Mountain Territory.
......
When Connor arrived at the nearest train station, he was still dizzy. He had only been missing for six or seven years, but it seemed like he had been missing for six or seven hundred years. The outside world had reached a point where Connor could not understand it at all.
However, although he was dizzy, his mind was still clear, and Connor also explained to Isa how he disappeared.
"The situation was very complicated at the time. I thought since I couldn't escape, I might as well take a gamble. I threw away everything that could prove my identity, leaving only a piece of clothing, and then used magic items that could change my appearance and suppress magic to try to escape."
The plan went smoothly. With the technology at the time, after changing one's appearance and suppressing magic power, there was almost no way to find Connor directly. In addition, the things Connor threw out successfully attracted the attention of the secret guards at the time, allowing Connor to leave among the adventurers.
But perhaps because he pretended too well, and his magic power was suppressed, Connor, who was alone and looked very weak, became the target of groups of "adventurers" at the time. He was knocked unconscious and sold to human traffickers in the South. His amnesia was just a coincidence.
Precisely because the funds were transferred through the secret channels of the so-called "adventurers", it was impossible for the capital to detect it. Although some of the traffickers disguised as adventurers were funded by nobles behind the scenes, the sale of an unknown adventurer would not be reported. Even if it was reported, this adventurer did not seem to have anything to do with the missing "Connor Lars".
What's more, the relationship between the nobles and the human traffickers was simply one of interest, not a relationship of superiors and subordinates. In the past, it was very, very difficult to find a person with amnesia and changed appearance in the vast sea of people, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Finally, after wandering all the way, Connor was picked up by Prima and lived a stable life.
Although the effectiveness of the magic props had gradually disappeared during the wandering journey, Connor had completely turned into Larsen at that time until he recovered his memory recently.
Prima originally lost her confidence instantly after learning Connor's identity, but fortunately Connor is now confident enough to take Prima out of the Hidden Mountain Territory.
It was not until she heard Connor's story that Prima realized the identity of the person she had picked up.
I can only say that everything is arranged by fate.
Before leaving, the good old man Rubin gave his daughter many instructions, telling her to watch more and do less, try not to talk, follow Larson closely, and listen to Larson in everything. If they were really married, she must not pay any attention if someone tried to get close to her, even if it was Rubin himself.
Prima also kept all of this in mind and followed Larson...Connor closely.
Because Isa had to go to the former capital of Anjou, she left after sending someone to accompany her.
On the speeding train, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, Connor felt that he was not ready yet. After all, reality was more magical than Connor had imagined, especially when he saw the obelisks rising from the ground.
The closer he got to the original capital, the more Connor felt like he had come to another world, especially when he saw the giant dragons that occasionally flew across the sky. It really made Connor wonder if the speed of time in Hidden Mountain Territory was different from that in the outside world.
However, along the way, Connor also saw a lot of hanged corpses, especially in Anjou, and judging from their clothing, it seemed that each of them was of high status.
This made Connor a little nervous.
The imperial city did not hold any special welcome ceremony for the father-in-law, nor did it even release any news, but Connor thought it was fine this way. He had been away for too long, and this was a good opportunity for him to see what the outside world was like.
The streets are clean and tidy, without any pungent smell. The whole imperial city is bustling with people and the streets are full of hawking sounds. Look at the lighted slogans that are lit during the day, and the busy merchants coming and going.
Compared to Prima who was looking around curiously, Connor seemed calmer, but the shock Connor received at this moment was no less than Prima's. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar King's Avenue, Connor finally understood what it meant to be in another world.
