"Island?"

On the deck, the sharp-eyed children saw the island of Aton in the distance.

If they were just ordinary islands, they would have encountered a lot along the way, but the island of Aton is much bigger than it was when freshwater was supplied.

"quack, quack."

Countless white seagull-like seabirds hovered over the heads of the people, and Anderson brought the tree elves to them: "ahead is the place where you will live in the future, the Duchy of Aton!"

'The Duchy?'

These children do not know what the Duchy means, nor do they know miracles that only the Lord of miracles can become princes.

But smarter people, such as Ilona and Helbo, realized the meaning of the word for the first time.

"all line up, stand still!"

After several days of training, Anderson has taught them the most basic military posture and formation.

Andrew trained these children as sailors and sailors.

"start counting!"

As soon as the order was given, everyone, including the girls trained by maids, immediately began to count.

On the sea, the three ships were neck and neck, and on the deck of each ship stood 40 children.

They lined up neatly, either looking forward to or looking anxiously at the distant island of Aton.

There is the land where they will live in the future.

They will know the fate of the future soon.

"here."

"this is Arden?"

Looking at the port town bathed in the sun, with the slow berthing of ships, the children were attracted by the dreamy scenery in front of them.

The wooden Viking-style two-story house built along the coast is located in a Danish-style pastoral cottage in meadows and gardens.

In the middle of these huts and houses, in the square with fountains, a magnificent Gothic building, like a church, stands in the middle of the city.

"what is this place?"

Standing on the deck, Ilona leaned against the railing and looked out over the distant port town, a place he had never seen before.

More beautiful and peaceful than the Mountain Kingdom, at least than his hometown, that poor and backward village.

"this town."

Helbo muttered to himself in surprise, "it's so beautiful."

Helbo has been to some small towns, but the atmosphere there is far from comparable to that of the Aton seaport.

Standing in this kind, he only feels peace of mind, even some warmth, which is from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't ever call your master again," Elsa came out of the captain's room and went down the stairs. "you shall call that one your Majesty, and this is not the Duchy of Aton, but the Duchy of Aton!"

The Duchy of Arden?

Your Majesty?

Here, this is a country!

Even if they did get the news from Anderson, the young girls still dared not imagine that they had not been bought by aristocrats and landlords, but had become the property of a duke.

'that 's great!'

Helbo has no fear, only excitement and expectation.

It is much better to be a servant of a duke than to be a serf of an ordinary landlord for a lifetime.

Helbo is eager to fight. He wants to be a soldier, not a farmer or fisherman.

From a very young age, Helbo's mother instilled in him the principle of equivalence.

You fight and fight for others so that you can get what you want, and if the other person gives you a reward, you have to make an achievement that deserves it.

Those who do not work, do not eat!

To be a man, loyalty comes first, and never be ungrateful.

"report!"

When Elsa heard a question, Elsa looked back and found that it was Haxar.

"say it."

Elsa doesn't like this person, but if there's something wrong with her, she can't just ignore it.

"what do you want us to do?"

Haxa plucked up the courage to ask Elsa, "if it is a country, there should be no shortage of people like us, right?"

But the truth is, Arden really needs them.

But in that case, Elsa must not be able to say it, and she continued to remain aloof: "your role will be known later."

"report!"

This time, it's Helbo.

"what's your problem?"

Helbo brushed a lot of the favor of the Arden.

If this is a game world, the Atonians as npc, hidden tasks should be properly prepared for him.

"if you work hard, can you have enough to eat?"

Faced with the very practical question of Helbo, Elsa thought she could answer: "of course!"

"then I have no problem."

Those who do not work must not eat. Since the archduke gives them a mouthful of food, they will work for him. Isn't it only natural and natural?

"there is something to eat."

"that's great."

"the king here must be a good man."

"We will work hard, and we will certainly do a good job."

Sure enough, the teenage girls are very grateful for Helbo's question, which is the most practical.

What kind of safety, what bullshit freedom, can be compared with adequate food and clothing?

In a world where starvation is commonplace, what is more important than food and clothing?

Along the way, the children fell in love with Arden's food.

Although the food is relatively simple, it is really delicious.

Noodles, steamed buns, rice, meat, and fish.

Gonia did not come up with all of Arden's food, but even a little bit in 1/10000 was enough to make these children who had never seen the world linger.

The status of slaves doomed the height of their lives.

So they do not expect to live in such a beautiful house, as long as there is a shelter from the wind, they will be satisfied.

"everyone, disembark in an orderly manner, and then come with me to the square in the middle of the port."

Gonia took the lead to get off the boat, and after a few words with Elsa and Fiola, she went to set up by herself, leaving the tree elves to stand around the children and maintain order.

"A lot of flowers."

"and butterflies and bees, and lots of birds."

The children got off the boat and finally set foot on the land of Arden.

They have an unparalleled yearning for the city.

If the Mountain Kingdom is a black-and-white photo, then Aton Island is a color television, and the whole world seems to be shrouded in an invisible and dreamy force.

'it doesn't look like an illusion.'

There is indeed an incredible power.'

Helbo and Ilona took a rare look at each other, and the two teenagers read the shock in each other's hearts from each other's eyes.

It's not easy here, it's too peaceful!

"report!"

The crowd looked around, only to find that the house was uninhabited and all the houses were empty.

"excuse me, why is there no one here?"

Faced with their questions, Gonia, Elsa, Fiola, and Anderson and other tree elves did not answer.
