Unknown Knight

Soon, news spread that Aix had woken up after being in a coma for seven days, and it was said that the lord had recovered well.

Not only that, Aix, served by several of Gand's wives, appeared from afar in the sight of other people in Kudan City.

The servants and cooks also reported that the lord was in good spirits and had summoned the main nobles of the territory to a meeting to discuss important matters of the territory. After the meeting, he signed several documents with his signature and seal, which were posted on the bulletin board outside the administrative hall.

Once this series of news and operations were spread, the number of inexplicable people that had suddenly increased in the territory recently suddenly decreased a lot, and the bigwigs from all sides who were ready to make moves also calmed down, especially King Yarogerk, who was knocked down from his peak at the foot of Kudan City not long ago. This prince almost sent out several signed orders in his hand.

A month later, an elite force of 300 men set out from Kudan City and escorted Aix and his party back to Tangquan Fortress.

Aix, who had just recovered, could not ride a horse, so he was arranged to ride in a carriage specially made by the Technical Research Institute. The outer shell of this carriage was covered with iron and was extremely sturdy. Once the door was closed from the inside, it could not be opened from the outside with any weapons of that era.

There are also thirty armored infantry guards carrying oars and shields on the periphery. This watertight defense will be useless against any assassin. The carriage of the emperor of the empire in the past was no more than this.

It took the group two days to reach Tangquan Fortress. Once they arrived at the fortress, Aix moved into the inner castle and never came out again.

From then on, it was difficult for outsiders to enter the inner fort. The Technical Research Institute and the Military Research Institute were also moved out of the inner fort and moved to the outer fort. An outer city was built in the area from the outer fort to the dock, and all the people who moved out of the outer fort were relocated here.

There are two hundred garrisons in the entire inner castle, including one hundred and fifty Han guards led by Liu Tang and fifty shield maidens led by Nia.

The remaining dozens of maids, cooks, and servants were relatives of the elders of the territory such as Atiman and old John, or members of the caravan who had followed Aix since the Suno period.

These people were all carefully selected and deeply connected with the interests of the territory. Their families started out as honorary subjects of twenty households. Their reliability was beyond doubt. Bandak and Cress also trained them on confidentiality and asked each of them to sign a strict confidentiality oath.

All these operations were done for one purpose, which was to protect the secrets about Aix, because the almost deified Aix was now like a child. To be precise, his head injury made his intelligence only equivalent to that of a five-year-old child. He was stupid!

At first, James and others still hoped that he could recover, but as time went by, more than a month passed, and Axe's intelligence remained at the level of a five-year-old, which was very stable.

Not only that, James also discovered that Axe suffered from severe amnesia. Except for retaining his native language ability, he almost forgot all the people and things he came into contact with, including several ladies he loved deeply.

Fortunately, the intelligence of a five-year-old is not completely stupid, and he listens to Tanda. Under the guidance of the three ladies, James and others, he has gradually been able to take care of himself through learning.

Moreover, he occasionally asked some novel and inexplicable questions, which made James feel that Axe's brain was trying to break through the blockage and there was still hope for recovery.

However, his current level of intelligence does not allow him to do anything else. All day long he either stays around Madam Gangde or is played with by the two half-grown children, Aisu and Ran Ying. Fortunately, the vacated space in the inner castle is large enough, so the baby lord will not get bored of playing for a while.

As for the territorial affairs, the previous systems have been basically sound, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. In addition, the newly promoted knights and lords are also dedicated to their work, and everyone is responsible for their own tasks, so everything in the territory is running smoothly.

If there is a problem that is difficult to solve, Lady Tsuna will come forward and call all the nobles to discuss and work out a solution. This good tradition of holding meetings for consultations shows its advantages at this time, and many difficult problems are successfully solved through meetings.

One day at the end of June, Atiman found his old rival Sir James. The two discussed for a long time behind closed doors and finally had a fierce quarrel.

It turned out that as the territory got back on track, the leaders were not as busy as before, and the research institute no longer had Aix's frequent creative ideas and proposed various novel research projects.

Atiman finally found time to study the books he had found in the cave. These books left by the Dark God Pope Prius were all-encompassing, containing all aspects of knowledge, which really opened Atiman's eyes.

Not long ago, when he was studying a book called "The Dark Artifact", he discovered that it recorded an artifact of the Dark God Cult. It is said that placing this artifact on a specific altar can cure all diseases.

Atiman thought he had found a way to cure Aix's disease, so he took the book and went to see his old rival, Sir James, the first doctor in the territory. But what Atiman didn't expect was that James also knew about this artifact.

James, who was good at studying and researching, visited famous doctors and scholars everywhere when he was young. During one of his trips to Aaron, he saw the artifact in the picture at the place of an old scholar. However, when James heard the old scholar talk about the magical power of this artifact, he sneered, thinking that it was just a religious instrument that was deified by people, and he did not take it seriously.

However, the book that Atiman brought now not only contains a detailed introduction to the various components of the artifact, but also the corresponding usage steps and the location of the altar.

This kind of mutually corroborating situation was most likely to touch academicians like Atiman and James. After some research and discussion, James immediately proposed to take Aix to find the artifact and then go to the altar to cure his disease.

However, Atiman, who has become a senior politician, firmly disagrees. For a big man like Aix who has enemies everywhere, if something happens to him, who can afford the risk?

But James also had his own reasons for insisting. He had seen a record of Axel's condition in a medical book. If his brain injury was treated properly within half a year, it would still be possible to recover. If he missed this period of treatment, he would be left with permanent trauma that even a god would find difficult to heal.

Three months have passed at this time, which means they have less than three months at most. If they send someone to do it, it is not certain whether they can get the artifact. Even if they do, they have to take it to the altar before they can use it.

Time is very tight for this trip. If we follow Atiman's plan and send people to find the artifact, then bring the artifact to the territory, and then send soldiers to escort Aix to the altar, the round trip time will definitely not be enough.

Moreover, in more than two months, the territory will enter winter at any time. Even if he gets the artifact, if he is blocked in the territory by ice and snow, he will have to stay there for a whole winter, and then Aix will have no chance of recovery.
