Penny, who was holding the music box, turned her head this way as if sensing something, and then showed a bright smile to everyone.
"Okay... I trust the captain's judgment." The man glanced at Penny and said nothing more.
"...Can I ask? Who is your captain?" After hearing what the other party just said, Plisson asked with a little doubt.
The man didn't respond, but unconsciously turned his head in Penny's direction. Miller met Pleasant's doubtful gaze and pointed at Penny beside him.
"...As you can see, she is the captain of this ship and the general of our remaining soldiers." Miller responded.
captain? General? These two words were swirling in Pleasant's mind, but he could not reconcile them with the mute man in front of him, who had the mind of a child.
"Since she is your captain and general, why do you lock her here? Could it be that you have rebelled?" Pleasant expressed his doubts.
"We locked the captain here for a reason." The man looked at the broken chains and shackles on Penny's body and sighed helplessly.
"...Have you ever heard of the crazy Jolsa wandering in Gull Gap?" Miller took up the man's words and asked Pleasant.
"Of course I have heard of it. This is the reason why Seagull Gap is a restricted area." Miller smiled bitterly, and then said: "The rumored crazy Jolsa... is standing in front of you now." Stand in front of me?
Pleasant looked around in astonishment, and his eyes finally fell on Penny, who had the same blue pupils as him. If Pleasant, a Yolsa hybrid, was excluded, she was the only Yolsa person present. .
"Penny's sanity is extremely unstable. Most of the time, her mind is only equivalent to that of a 3-year-old child. Once she is stimulated, there is a chance that she will enter a state of madness and show her full strength to wreak havoc. "
"Now is the Frost Moon. At this time of year, Penny will recall some things in the past in her sleep. That is Penny's pain point, and it is also the pain point for all of us. In order to prevent the stimulated Penny from falling into madness and wreaking havoc, We can only make this decision." Miller patted the old-fashioned Canglan military uniform he was wearing with a complicated expression.
"Things from the past..." Plisson looked at Miller and the old-fashioned Canglan military uniforms worn by the man, thoughtfully.
"...Are you from the Canglan military?"
"It used to be." Miller's face was pale, as if he had aged several years.
"But now Canglan... doesn't need us anymore." He sighed deeply, then stood up and walked to Penny's side.
"Do you know her?" Miller repeated the similar question. Pleasant shook his head.
"She is very famous in Canglan." Miller touched Penny's shackled left hand with a bit of tenderness and respect in his eyes.
"Penny Merovingian Jorsa, the only daughter of Prince Jorsa, one of the three princes of Canglan, a general of the military, known as the Valkyrie of Canglan, 15 years ago she was all Pride in the eyes of Canglan people."
"...Merovingian Jolsa." Plisson muttered silently in his heart. When Miller read Penny's full name, Pleasant realized how distinguished she was.
The ancient Canglan Empire in the past was almost destroyed in the third cataclysm. The current Canglan Empire was rebuilt on the Hokuriku by the illegitimate son of the last emperor Gad II led by Chairman Merlin of the Canglan Congress. .
One of the main forces supporting the reconstruction of the Canglan Empire was the Kingdom of Jorsa, which was once a vassal of the ancient Canglan Empire and had preserved some of its power during the catastrophe.
After the rebuilt Canglan Empire became the overlord of the Northern Continent, the Kingdom of Jorsa gradually became part of the Canglan Empire. The king of the Kingdom of Jorsa had outstanding achievements and was named a prince with a different surname by Emperor Canglan, and was related to the emperor's relatives. In the same row, his status in Canglan is extremely high.
However, 25 years ago, Prince Isas, who was also one of the three princes of Canglan, rebelled and killed the then Prince Isas at the ceremony.
Prince Isaac led the counties in the northern part of Canglan to become independent. At the same time, he united with the Principality of Sasmere on the coast of the North Sea to form the current United Kingdom of Bei Canglan and Sasmere, commonly known as
"Bei Canglan".
"How could Canglan's Sapphire Princess...have fallen into this state?" Plissen looked at Penny and felt a wave of excitement in his heart.
He remembered that Prince Jolsa's only daughter was later adopted as an adopted daughter by Emperor Canglan Edward III, and was named Princess Sapphire, the same as Edward III's biological daughter.
This Princess Sapphire can be said to be a genius. She was promoted to a saint at a young age, and later served as Canglan's general. She can be said to be the favored one of heaven.
However, about 15 years ago, Canglan fought against Tianying. After Canglan suffered another defeat, no news related to the Sapphire Princess came out.
Pleasant thought that Princess Sapphire was injured in the war, so she took a back seat. Now it seems that there may be another hidden reason.
"...Prince Thorens." Miller muttered, the flames of hatred burning in his eyes.
Pleasant heard a familiar name on Miller's lips. Prince Saurons, the second most powerful figure in the Canglan Empire, is the last of the three Canglan princes. He is the younger brother of Edward IV, the previous emperor of Canglan, and the uncle of Lucifer I, the current queen of Canglan. .
Except for the Great Chancellor Merlin who assisted the previous emperors of Canglan, Prince Saurons can be said to be the most powerful person in Canglan.
Especially in the past five years, Chancellor Merlin went to the Far North Abyss five years ago and has not returned yet. The Queen was still young, and Solons held the power as the emperor's uncle. Even the Imperial Council sometimes had to avoid his influence.
With this person's temperament, it is completely normal to exclude dissidents.
"Is it because of Prince Saurons that you ended up here?" Plisson asked.
"It's because of him, but not entirely because of him. Too many misfortunes and malice converged at the same time and fell on the same person at the same time." Miller lowered his eyebrows and said slowly.
"Penny's fiancé, the former Marshal Yuri of Canglan, disappeared on the frontline battlefield with a large number of troops 15 years ago. Canglan was defeated and retreated to the Hokuriku. Many interests on the north coast and Linhai were given to To the proud Canglan people, this is nothing short of a humiliating defeat."
"There are rumors that Marshal Yuri rebelled against the country and led a large number of troops to defect to Sky Eagle. This rumor was popular among the people and even became the mainstream theory for a time."
"Marshal Yuri is a disciple of Chancellor Merlin. He is brave and good at fighting. He has always had a tough attitude when facing Sky Eagle. It is absolutely impossible for him to commit treason."
"The reason why those unfounded rumors arose must have been fueled by Prince Sorens. The marshal and he, as the leader of the conservative party, have always had different political views. He will not miss such an opportunity to smear the marshal."
"If Chancellor Merlin hadn't been in seclusion due to injury, Saurons' treacherous plot would not have succeeded." Miller's fists were clenched tightly, and the fire of hatred was reflected in his eyes.
"Has General Penny been implicated for this matter?" Miller nodded.
"Because of this matter, Penny, who has the closest relationship with the marshal, and her knights were transferred away from the front line. Under Solons' secret operation, we were transferred to Keron near the far north. It was a bitter cold. In this land, even the sea surface is covered with ice, and once we get here, we basically say goodbye to Canglan’s center of power.”
"At that time, Penny no longer posed any threat to Solons, but Solons still didn't want to let Penny go."
"The four counties in the southeast of Canglan were once the land of the Kingdom of Joersa, and are now the largest gathering place of Joersa people in Canglan. He planned a rebellion of Joersa people there and brought the matter to a climax. Over there in Parliament.”
"Penny has the blood of the Jolsa royal family and is also a representative of the Jolsa people. Prince Soros united all forces and forced Penny to go to Ludankam alone to plead guilty."
"Penny never came back. She was placed under house arrest in Ludankamu by Sorens, and the knights under her were also split up and incorporated into other troops. We are the only ones left. Stay in Keron, waiting for Penny to come back." Miller turned his head and glanced at Penny sitting on the ground, then carefully looked back.
"It wasn't until half a year later that we learned that Penny was under house arrest in Ludankamu by Prince Sorrens."
"And when we rescued Penny, she...had become what she is now."
"We hate, hate that Prince Saurons can cover the sky with one hand, hate that his vicious strategy does not use the enemy's body, but turns into a sharp knife to pierce the loyal and brave men of our own country."
"We want to redress our grievances, but we have nowhere to go. The Parliament and Saurons are colluding to deceive the superiors and subordinates. The Queen is high in the palace, and our roars cannot reach her ears."
"Reverse? It can't be done. Under the siege and interception of Saurons, there are only a dozen people left in the elite force of nearly a hundred people, and I am the only one with legendary combat power. The only way to have some impact is to entangle The forces of the Yolsa people in the territory have stirred up turmoil in the rear of Canglan, but this will undoubtedly add salt to the wounds of the people of Canglan who have suffered from war. It will not hurt the foundation of Saurons, but will make it worse. Canglan is in turmoil, which goes against the education and ideas we and other soldiers have received since childhood."
"Surrendering to the enemy? Wouldn't that be true to the lie concocted by Saurons? It will only bring shame to Marshal Yuri and Penny. Moreover, whether it is Tianying or Beicanglan, we all have hatred of the country and the family, and it is impossible to practice this Lift.”
"Forget all this? How is this possible? Penny loves soldiers as much as her own. She takes the lead in every battle. She has saved our lives more than once on the battlefield. She is our general. She has suffered persecution and misfortune. It should never be forgotten like this.”
"But what can we do? We are unable to fight against Prince Saurons. Under the pursuit of the other party's men, we can only run away from Canglan and leave Saurons' sphere of influence."
"So we came here, the place blessed by His Majesty Fengjun. Only here, Penny's madness will not attack easily. We settled here, and it has been more than ten years in a flash." Sen silently listened to the story told by the other party, the story that happened in the most powerful country in the Hokuriku. Since Prince Isaac betrayed Canglan 25 years ago, this powerful empire in the past has been declining, and it is getting worse every year.
The reason why Canglan still has its current status is that, in addition to the family fortune left over from the ancient Canglan Empire, it is supported by Chancellor Merlin, one of the most powerful people in the world.
"Captain Miller, do you know what caused General Penny's muteness and madness?"
"Penny was poisoned and mute. Someone didn't want her to make a sound. As for the madness... I don't know what it is, but it probably has something to do with Solons." Miller said bitterly. The ground shook his head.
Pleasant touched the eyepatch on his right eye, and his eyes fell on Penny. With the blessing of the root purpose, Pleasant saw something special.
Divine particles.
"Is General Penny a favored one? Has she ever accommodated the divinity of the old gods?"
"Penny is not a favored one by God, and she has never tolerated the divinity of the old gods. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"...I may know the cause of General Penny's madness."
