Therefore, he really didn’t lack boundary iron.
No one knew what to say.
They all had blank expressions.
The things that they had treated as treasures were nothing special to Night. In fact, they weren’t even as important as a few books.
They were shocked, but they could understand.
After all, Night had come from the heavenly battlefield.
Furthermore, his temperament and talents were obviously not that of an ordinary person. Since that was the case, how could he lack the boundary iron that could be used to make weapons?
To him, everything in the nine nations was new.
What he needed was the things outside the heavenly battlefield, not the things that they thought were precious.
In different environments, in different positions, the things they valued were different.
Understanding Lugh’s needs would make things much easier.
“Books.”
“I have a lot.”
“I brought some too.”
Hearing that Lugh wanted to read, all of them quickly ordered their servants to bring the books in their carriages over. They piled them in front of Lugh like a small hill.
Lugh smiled and said, “Haha, that’s right. These books are much better than those metal lumps.”
These were the things he really needed. He urgently needed to understand more information about the rune world.
The runes in this world had developed for thousands of years. There must be something unique about them. Although he had the help of the system, the convenience of using runes really required him to constantly study and ponder, therefore, these books that recorded the information about runes were much more important to him than some treasures.
After robbing three vaults, he did not lack treasures and cultivation resources.
“Clare. Come with me and move these books into the carriage.”
Clare nodded, carrying a few books as she walked towards the carriage. Vivienne said to her servants, “What are you guys looking at? Quickly come over and help.”
The others also instructed their servants. In a short while, the books were all moved into the carriage.
Fortunately, the carriage was big enough.
It was five to six square meters, and the books didn’t take up much space.
After eating noodles and giving books, they became much closer to each other. When they were traveling at night, they didn’t get into the carriage. Instead, they walked at the back and chatted as they walked. Even Vivienne, who used to be very quiet, became more talkative.
She knew that Lugh liked to listen to things about the nine nations so she specifically talked about these things.
She spoke with assurance. “Legend has it that before the establishment of the nine empires, at the place where the Spatial Rift was born, foreign creatures invaded the rune world and wreaked havoc everywhere. It was also at this time that twelve purple crystals appeared. These twelve purple crystals all had extraordinary abilities. At that time, twelve humans obtained the crystals. It was they who used the abilities given by the purple crystals to rebuild the human civilization.
“The twelve purple crystals were later known as civilization crystals. The twelve humans who owned civilization crystals were the twelve ancient sages.
“The twelve sages established twelve large tribes to resist the invasion of the alien creatures. However, after the death of the twelve sages, these tribes were too scattered. Each tribe had a different philosophy. When the humans and the alien creatures stopped fighting, they began to have conflicts and started a war to take each other’s land. This eventually formed the pattern of the nine empires.
“However, the war was so intense that it lasted for more than a hundred years.
“Every tribal leader who later took control of the crystal civilization wanted their tribe to become the most powerful tribe in the runic world, so they started a war in an attempt to conquer other tribes. However, the strength of each tribe was almost the same, which led to the war lasting for more than a hundred years.
“Finally, thousands of years ago, the embryonic form of the nine great empires was formed. Therefore, although the nine great empires seemed peaceful, in fact, there was a kind of estrangement. This was the contradiction left behind by history. This contradiction made some of the nine empires stronger, while the weaker ones became weaker.
“Among the nine great empires, the Simon Empire was the weakest.”
“Young Master Night, can you imagine the number of talents in the Simon Empire was not even as many as in the Xi Zhao Empire. For three consecutive years, not a single person in the Simon Empire was able to pass the runic academy’s assessment. The policies of each country were different, and their development was different. This caused the human race to fall into an extremely awkward situation.
“Even in the heavenly battlefield, although each country jointly withstood the dangers from outer space, they still acted independently and guarded different regions.”
She sighed softly at the end of her sentence, her voice was a little sorrowful. “Young Master Night, when you arrive at the Xi Zhao Empire, you will realize that the Simon Empire and the Xi Zhao Empire are like barbaric countries. The Simon Empire is still adhering to the city-state system, and the nobles are incomparably arrogant. They do not treat the commoners as humans at all, and the commoners live in misery and suffering.
“As for the Simon Empire, there is no hope left.
“Who can save the Simon Empire?”
Her words directly pointed out the problems of the Simon Empire and left them in front of everyone. Regardless of whether it was Lorca or Rexton, at this moment, there was only silence. They did not know what to say, nor did they know what to do.
“I’ve already decided.”
Vivienne said softly, “This time, after going to the Illumination Empire, I won’t go back. Even if I have to be an ordinary person there, I don’t want to be a noble in the Simon Empire. I don’t see any hope for that country anymore.”
