After more than ten days of navigation, the ship went north, and the Lancang Canal entered the sea and went upstream.
The Lancang Canal was built 200 years ago, running through the Roland Empire from east to west.
Finally leaving the East China Sea and entering the inland, Chen Daolin's words began to get busy.
Everywhere the ship went, local officials came to receive it.
After all, there were two big people on this ship.
Whether it is Panin, the future star of the Garonin family, or Lucius, the son of the governor of the East China Sea, they can be regarded as the children of wealthy families.
Everywhere I went along the way, the officials warmly greeted and ushered in the send-off, but they accepted a lot of gifts.
Although Lucius has a mouth disease, he can still cope with these things on the scene.
However, that Panin, who lived in seclusion, was reluctant to leave the cabin, and even if the local officials sent someone to greet him, he was rewarded by the middle-aged man of the family beside him.
With these delays, the trip slows down.
Governor Fritz had been an official for many years, so he naturally had his own connections and fellow factions.
When Lucius was greeted by people along the way, they were also extremely polite to the young magician.
Especially when they learned that Chen Daolin was actually Lucius's magic teacher, these people's attitudes were different: in the empire, it was always a very face-saving thing to be able to recruit magicians.
And Lucius's respectful and polite attitude towards Chen Daolin also made people dare not slack off on Chen Daolin, a young man.
The section of the Lancang Canal was built by several generations of imperial emperors, and it was finally possible to create this east-west artery by opening up several inland rivers.
After sailing inland for more than a dozen days, the scenery on both sides of the river suddenly changed on this day, showing a vast plain area.
Standing on the boat and looking into the distance, you can see a piece of farmland in the distance, farm water, windmill waterwheel, river canal irrigation Chen Daolin and Hook stood on the deck looking at the scenery, and saw this vast and rich land from a distance, Chen Daolin suddenly saw that Hook around him had a different look, the man squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something, and in his eyes, there were vague tears.
Chen Daolin was curious: "What's wrong?"
Hook sighed softly, retracted his gaze from afar, and looked very solemn: "We have arrived at the Lorraine Plain. ” Looking at Chen Daolin's blank expression, Hook smiled lightly: "Well, the official statement should be the province of Kote." ” Chen Daolin heard something unusual about Hook's voice, so he asked, "Is there anything unusual about this place?"
Hook took a deep breath, his expression revealed a hint of reverence, and in a tone of remembrance, he whispered: "My lord, the river under our feet is the famous Emerald River of the Empire, also known as the Rollin River.
The plain you see now is the Emerald Plains, also known as the Lorraine Plains.
This place is the birthplace of the great and legendary martial arts family of the empire and the Rollin family. ” The Rollin family This name is unfamiliar to Chen Daolin.
"This Luolin family, is it very famous?"
Chen Daolin said with a smile.
"Of course," Hook nodded solemnly, "Probably more than three hundred years ago, the empire experienced a serious crisis, because of the invasion of the northwestern aliens and internal rebellion, the empire was once on the verge of collapse.
And it was during that period that God blessed me Roland, and a group of heroes and talents emerged, saving the empire.
And the most outstanding of them all was a general of the Rollin family This general Luo Lin, who fought in the south and the north, turned the tide, and finally made immortal military exploits and achieved the status of the martial arts nobles of the Luo Lin family.
The most commendable thing was in the latter part of the war, on the eve of one of the most important decisive battles.
His Majesty the Emperor at that time, in order to encourage General Rollin who was about to go to war, they rode their horses by the river, and the Emperor pointed to the land on the south bank of the river with his horsewhip and made an oath to General Rollin: If you can return victoriously in this battle, I will take this river as the boundary, and this plain south of the river will forever be given to you in the future of the Rollin family, and this plain will be changed to the name of your family to show the extraordinary and outstanding contribution of the Rollin family to the empire And later, that general Luo Lin really won a great victory, and he also became the marshal of the empire, a generation of famous generals and meritorious heroes Since then, the river has been renamed the Lorraine River, and this plain has been renamed the Lorraine Plain.
This land and this river have nurtured the Rollin family for three hundred years, and countless outstanding imperial talents and famous generals have emerged.
The glory of the Rollin family is always on the crown of the empire" Chen Daolin listened, and also nodded and sighed: "That's very powerful, this Luo Lin family, I don't know what is going on now."
"Now," Hook said this, smiling lightly, "My lord, it seems that you really want to study the general history of my Roland Empire, if this kind of common sense comes out of your mouth, I am afraid that others will make fun of it." ” "Hey, what else is special about this Rollin family?"
Hook's expression was dazed, and he said slowly: "My lord's great tulip family is from Rollin." tulip Once anything involves tulips, Chen Daolin will pay special attention.
"The first Duke of Tulip, Lord Du Wei, was a member of the Rollin family before he made his career.
He was the eldest son of the patriarch of the Rollin family at the time.
In the past, the patriarch of the Rollin family, Count Raymond, was also a famous general of the imperial generation, once the leading general of the imperial navy, and later served as the deputy minister of the emperor.
And Du Wei is the eldest son of Count Raymond.
Unfortunately, the Rollin family was later involved in a tragic coup d'état in the empire at that time, and a serious military coup broke out in order to seize the throne.
The Rollin family, on the other hand, was unfortunately on the wrong side.
At that time, the crown prince died in a failed coup, and the Rollin family was implicated, once deprived of titles and even fiefs, and the century-old wealthy family was almost uprooted.
At that time, Du Wei was an odd number, this Du Wei broke with his father in the coup d'état, openly broke away from the family, and stood on the other side, and later the coup ended, but Du Wei benefited from the coup d'état, because the coup d'état strongly supported the regent Chen Prince, who later succeeded in ascending the throne, and was named the Grand Duke of Tulip.
Therefore, although the Rollin family was defeated, Du Wei became the duke of the empire.
Later, Duke Tulip repeatedly performed miracles, pacified the warlords in the northwest, and swept away the steppe aliens through Kilimano Mountain, and finally obtained the amnesty of the imperial family, pardoned the coup d'état of the Rollin family, and the fief of the Rollin family, as well as the title were restored.
Later, Duke Tulip became the undisputed first wealthy family of the empire.
Among the Rollin family, the one who inherited the title and fief of the Rollin family was Du Wei's younger brother.

Do you think that with a brother like Duke Tulip, the new patriarch of the Rollin family, will he still worry about the future?
Later, in our war with the orcs, the Rollin family closely followed the Tulip family and made meritorious contributions in the battle.
Later, after Du Wei married the imperial empress and became the prince of the protectorate, he ruled for decades, and the Rollin family has always stood firmly by the side of the tulip family.
Therefore, the Rollin family and the tulip family are essentially from the same vein.
The Tulip family is fundamentally derived from the Rollin family by blood And now, although a hundred years have passed since Du Wei's legendary era, the Tulip family is still the pillar of the empire, and the Rollin family, both in blood and relationship, is close to the Tulip family.
They were originally brothers.
And now, because Miss Messiah's father, that is, the previous generation of Duke Tulip, lived in seclusion, before Miss Messiah was a minor, many of the affairs of the Tulip family were actually managed by the contemporary Earl of the Rollin family, and Miss Messiah also called Count Rollin her uncle, and the two sides were very close.
Although the previous Duke of Tulip is not in the court, and Miss Messiah has not held any public office because of her youth, the patriarch of the Rollin family is the current Imperial Minister and the Imperial Naval Minister Until Miss Messiah came of age and fulfilled her duties as dukes, the Rollin family had always been the most trustworthy support for her. ” Speaking of this, Hook said in a low voice: "You know Du Wei's full name, his full name is: Du Wei Rollin Rudolph In the earliest days, his name was Duver Rollin.
It was only later after he founded the Tulip family that he changed his name to give himself the surname Rudolph, but in order to commemorate his birth in the Rollin family, he also put the surname Rollin in the middle of his name to show that he had never forgotten his roots. ” Hearing these words, Chen Daolin couldn't help but sigh.
This Rollin family is really remarkable.
It turned out that the Tulip family was originally from the Rollin family, no wonder Hook was so reverent when he mentioned them.
At the moment, there are not many boats coming and going on the wide river.
Even if there is an occasional boat, when they see this big boat coming from a distance and see the flag clearly, they will immediately pull over and get out of the middle of the river.
In the afternoon, the boat anchored at a riverside town dock along the way.
There were several groups of guards on the pier to greet them, and many nobles in gorgeous clothes were gathered during the process.
"It's someone from the Rollin family here."
On the boat, Hook took one look and immediately recognized it.
"Luo Lin's family" Chen Daolin said with a smile: "We're going to live on the shore tonight, it seems that it's another entertainment." ” "More than one night, I'm afraid."
Hook smiled: "My lord, looking at the driving, he should be going to take us to the castle of the Rollin family."
However, this is not surprising, as Young Master Lucius, since he is passing by the fiefdom of the Rollin family, why is he going to visit the elders in the old mansion castle of the Rollin family, this etiquette is indispensable, especially " "Especially what," Chen Daolin said with a smile.
"Hey, you don't even know about this," Hook said curiously, "It's true, you've been immersed in magic research all day long, and no one has told you when you're in the Governor's Mansion in Hillock City." ” He looked at the welcoming procession standing on the dock on the shore, and said with a low smile: "My lord, have you forgotten that one of the important things that Young Master Lucius went to this time was to fulfill a marriage contract, and the person who made the marriage contract with the Governor of Fritz is the current patriarch of the Rollin family, Lord Count Berrion Rollin."
According to the agreement, the fiancée that Young Master Lucius will marry this time is the granddaughter of Lord Count Berrion of the Rollin family. ” There is such a thing Chen Daolin's eyes widened.
"Right now, Lord Count Berrion is sitting in the military department, so naturally he is not in the plain of the old mansion in the fiefdom, but I heard that the countess is recuperating in his hometown, so since Young Master Lucius has come to the door of the house, it is naturally impossible not to worship, and it is natural to go to the door to meet the grandmother of his future wife.
As for you, I don't think you'll have to go through this experience.
And I heard that the young lady of the Luo Lin family is also in the old mansion.
Maybe we'll pick up that young lady on the way this time and go to the wedding with the boat. ” Sure enough, before Hook could finish speaking, Chen Daolin saw Lucius, who was dressed in new clothes, and had already walked out of the cabin.
The son of the governor was dressed in a splendid new dress, his hair was meticulously combed, and his leather boots were shiny, and he looked very new.
He was followed by the captain of the Fritz family's guard and the housekeeper.
He came over and smiled shyly at Chen Daolin, and saluted, Chen Daolin knew that he was inconvenient to speak, so he took the initiative to say: "Okay, go see your future wife, don't waste time with me, cheer up and hurry up." ” Seeing that Lucius took people off the boat to greet and entertain with the people sent by the Rollin family, on this occasion, Chen Daolin didn't want to go over to join in the fun, so he rested on the boat for a while.
A moment later, someone from the Rollin family boarded a ship to meet Chen Daolin and invited the magician to the Rollin family's ancestral home.
To Chen Daolin's surprise, the invitation sent by the visitor actually included that Paning.
However, Chen Daolin was relieved when he thought about it later: Panin's Garonin family was in charge of the Imperial Guard.
And the patriarch of the Rollin family is the Imperial Minister.
It is also common etiquette for people to invite Paning to their home.
With Paning going, to be honest, Chen Daolin didn't want to go.
Even if he went, it was just to attend a banquet, eat and drink and other things, Chen Daolin preferred to stay on the boat, free, and if he was really bored, he could take Barossa to the shore to hang out in the town, but he was about to make up a reason to refuse, and before he could say it, his face showed a little bit, the steward sent by the Luo Lin family was a man who was old in the city government, and when he saw Chen Daolin's face was different, he immediately took the initiative to add: "Your Excellency this mage, our lady heard that you are the magic teacher of Young Master Lucius, I have great respect for you, and I must invite you to be a guest, and tell me not to neglect you, if you don't go, I'm afraid I'll be able to do it."
Chen Daolin looked at the graying hair in front of him, and he really couldn't bear to embarrass this old man, and sighed: "Okay, I can't go, I won't share a car with that Paning." ” The old steward smiled slightly: "You can rest assured, my Rollin family will not be missing the frame." ” Chen Daolin smiled lightly, and called out Barossa and Xia Xia, as well as the werewolf Chuck with him.
Only Hook, but for some reason, refused to go to Rollin's castle together.
Chen Daolin had no choice but to go with him.
However, that Dalglish took the initiative to come over and took the initiative to ask Ying to be Chen Daolin's attendant.
For this guy, he has always been by his side anyway, and Chen Daolin has nothing to do, so he let him follow.
This guy is a scholar, and if he wants to come to the entertainment between these nobles and wealthy families, he should be more familiar with it, and it can be regarded as useful to take it with him.
After getting into the carriage, Dalglish took the initiative to whisper to Chen Daolin: "My lord, haven't you noticed that Mr.
Hook's expression is a little strange. ” "Oh" Chen Daolin's heart moved, remembering that Hook refused to go with him no matter what, and couldn't help but glance at Dalglish: "What do you know?"
"This," Dalglish chuckled, "I don't know anything, but I accidentally saw Mr.

Hook standing in the bow of the boat last night, looking in the direction of the Rollin Plains, pouring himself a drink alone, and seemingly shedding a few tears." ” There is such a thing Chen Daolin suddenly remembered what Hook himself said, he left the Tulip family for a personal reason that he refused to say, did he have something to do with the Luo Lin family?
