"Well, to be honest, I don't know what's going on." Da Vinci spread his hands. "Perhaps our definition of 'Heroic Spirit' doesn't align with that of this Lostbelt."

"What is the definition of a Heroic Spirit?" Nezha tilted his head, looking confused.

"Can't you explain it more simply and clearly?" Goldruff was even more anxious. He couldn't understand anything at all."

"It's hard to explain the current situation. After all, we're still lacking a lot of information," Holmes said calmly. "Everyone, take a rest. I'll ask the villagers for information tomorrow."

"The next day."

After washing up, Ritsuka got out of the car, looked at the rising sun, and took a deep breath. "I haven't experienced such fresh air in a long time."

"Yeah, how should I put it? It feels like I haven't taken such a deep, peaceful breath like this in ages." Mashu, who got off the car after me, also sighed.

"For them, such ordinary and peaceful days are a true luxury."

"Huh?" Mashu suddenly looked up at the sky in surprise: "Senior, what is that? In the sky..."

"Ritsuka also followed Mashu's gaze and saw clearly."

"Right in the sky, there's a faint object... like a belt encircling the entire planet."

"A...something I don't know what it is." Ritsuka frowned. "I didn't find it at night, but this is obviously not normal."

"Yes." Mashu looked at the villagers who had already started to move around in the village. "Is this a normal phenomenon here? No one seems surprised."

"Then, Da Vinci and Holmes got out of the car, and the attention of many villagers was immediately drawn to them."

Da Vinci also put on a bright smile and walked over to inquire about the information: "Excuse me, what is the current era name?"

"But the farmers were confused: 'Reign name? What's that?'"

"Da Vinci was stunned for a moment. She remembered that in ancient China, emperors would issue reign titles, right?"

“So, what year is this?”

"Hmm..." Farmer A scratched his head. "All I know is that I'm 22 years old. According to regulations, I should have started working at the age of five, and I've already sown seeds in the fields 17 times. Is my calculation correct?"

“No, what about… the calendar?” Leonardo da Vinci was even more confused.

"The times for planting and harvesting are fixed. You can tell by looking at the moon. Is that what you mean by the calendar?" a peasant woman said.

"What kind of dynasty is this! It doesn't even have a calendar?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

Back then, before he ascended the throne, his sister told him that he had to create a calendar first to let the people know that he had them in his heart, and then they would support him wholeheartedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed it decisively. He believed everything his sister said!

Therefore, before the coronation ceremony could even be held, a calendar had already been invented.

But this country in the sky...

"These people are extremely ignorant. They don't know the calendar or the year number. Even beggars wouldn't be so ignorant! Right, sister?"

"Indeed." Queen Ma nodded, but a hint of confusion still lingered on her face. "It's just that I can't understand why these people are so ignorant, yet their faces are filled with smiles."

No matter which dynasty, common people lived a miserable life.

Don't look at the modern Han fans, Tang fans, Song fans, Ming fans, and even Qing fans...

But if they were to travel back to those times and become commoners, they would only feel deep despair.

To smile so sincerely, like the people in the sky... it was like a myth! It was unbelievable!

"That's true." Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips. "Although the people's ignorance makes me look down on that emperor, to be able to make the people smile like that... he's truly far superior to me."

Family members know their own business, and he knows that he is not a good person.

His son Zhu Yu was named King Yi, and under his rule, Luoyang, the ancient capital, became a hell on earth.

Once, a young mother was burned alive by Zhu Xi's order because her crying child disturbed Zhu Xi's nap.

Zhu Yuanzhang's other son, Zhu Gui, even regarded torturing the people as a kind of pleasure.

There are also Zhu Chong, Zhu Tan... each of them is extremely brutal.

But were they punished?

Except for Zhu Tan who caused such a big incident that he was demoted to a commoner by Zhu Yuanzhang, the other sons did not receive any punishment at all!

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear that it was impossible for the people living under the rule of his Ming Dynasty to show such an innocent smile.

Holmes thought for a moment and then changed the question: "Who is the greatest man in the world right now?"

"Of course, Your Majesty!" a farmer said matter-of-factly, and the others nodded.

"What is the name of this 'Majesty'?" Holmes continued.

"But the villagers soon became puzzled: 'Name? Your Majesty is Your Majesty, can you even name the sun and the moon?'"

"In their eyes, Your Majesty is like the sun and the moon, unattainable, noble, and eternal."

"Then where is His Majesty?" Leonardo asked again.

"Of course, Your Majesty is in the capital," a farmer said, pointing in a certain direction. "I heard we just need to keep going in that direction."

"Have you ever been there?" Leonardo asked curiously.

“Huh? How could I have been there? What would I be doing there?” The farmer scratched his head.

Another farmer smiled and said, "We can only worship with gratitude. After all, without the Emperor's grace, we wouldn't exist."

"At this moment, Mashu gradually frowned. She seemed to smell a scent...almost like that of a beast."

"Before she could make out anything, several brutal-looking monsters jumped out of the wheat field."

“Eh! What…what is this?”

“Wow! What a scary thing! Run away!”

"The farmers fled in panic, and some even went to report to the guards."

"This..." Da Vinci looked at the monsters in shock. "Aren't these the same monsters that appeared in Russia? How did they appear here?"

"We'll research this later, Da Vinci. Lead the villagers to safety first! Ritsuka, Mashu, Nezha, join me in destroying these monsters!" Holmes ordered.

"Several people drew their weapons, while Ritsuka found a safe place and provided magic power to them."
