On November 5, 1456, the winter season came quietly.
After leaving Peris castle for more than a month, modrian and his party crossed the wilderness plain and stepped into the north of stoke kingdom. During the wandering journey, they saw different exotic customs.
Barren and desolate is modrian's impression of the northern part of the kingdom. The party seemed to be in a cold area without smoke. There were very few merchants and mercenaries on the way. Most of them were nervously looking at the galloping cavalry.
The ten-year Patriotic War not only created countless heroes and nobles for stoke Kingdom, but also left too many scars on the huge body, especially in the north of the kingdom as the main battlefield at that time.
Countless bandits are one of the remaining problems. They are firmly nailed in this cold area like a stubborn disease, harassing and killing people in the wild, making the northern part of the Kingdom more chaotic. Only towns with Kingdom troops will be much safer.
After more than a month of wandering, modrian can be said to have experienced more than ten waves of robberies and sneak attacks. War horses and weapons are the favorite of robbers and bandits. Then, killing under greed is inevitable.
"Cooper, is the city of edalas ahead? It's really prosperous!"
A hurried cavalry team came to the foot of the mountain. The leader opened his cloak full of wind and sand, revealing a young face, short blond hair facing the sun, and there was a weather beaten taste in his brown eyes.
"Yes, Lord modrian, that's edalas, the golden crossroads of the kingdom!" Cooper answered, riding a war horse.
The towering city stands in the high mountains. The cold weather makes both sides of the mountain smooth and pristine, and the nearly six foot high wall just blocks the only road in the mountain pass, crowded people, dense caravans, and the appearance of other races from time to time.
As the most prosperous city in the north of stoke Kingdom, edalas city is the brightest pearl in Yinsong province.
At the same time, it is also the trade center in the north of the kingdom. Its excellent geographical location makes it connected in all directions. It is close to the gate of sorrow in the north, the eilanfaro empire in the west, the behlik kingdom in the West and the Grand Duchy of tambefasha in the East. It has the title of [golden crossroads].
There are countless businessmen staying and leaving here every day, as well as mercenaries from all over the world. They will bring rare items from different countries and new things from all over the mainland to the north of the kingdom.
Overlooking the prosperous and majestic city in front of him, modrian sighed in his heart, almost no less than the modern city of the earth in previous generations.
"Then going north is the gate of sorrow, the war barrier of the kingdom?" modrian continued curiously, with unknown thoughts flashing through his brown pupils.
The gate of sorrow.
Speaking of the name, Cooper remembered that the other side of the gate of sorrow was one of the most powerful empires in kaladimos, the elanfaro empire.
The frosty road guarded by the gate of sorrow was the only way for the two countries to pass through each other, which led to the ten-year patriotic war caused by the invasion of the gate of sorrow by the elanfaro empire. At that time, the kingdom of stoke was really in turmoil, and the country would be destroyed if you were not careful.
"Yes, Lord modrian, the gate of sorrow, the most powerful war barrier in the kingdom. Lord Brooke once made great achievements there, and I have the honor to participate in it."
Cooper's face shows his remembrance that the hot-blooded years have gone forever, but his memory is deeply engraved in his soul and recalled from time to time.
Listening to Cooper's words awakened the information about the passing years in modrian's memory fragments. His father, viscount Brooke, was granted the Viscount of the kingdom for his meritorious service under the neutrality of the ten-year Patriotic War. He was a hero in the war at that time.
"Come into the city, edalas is not far from the town of ewendell, and it is also the last stop for us to repair," modrian said, pointing to the city in front of us.
The reason for choosing this place for renovation is very simple. Compared with other surrounding cities, edalas is a city in the northern part of the kingdom that is less affected by the Jeffrey family. There are many forces around here, especially close to the gate of sorrow, which makes the Jeffrey family dare not touch it with great fanfare.
Modrian and his party followed the crowded crowd and entered the city safely. There was no obstruction or episode on the way.
The veterans stationed at the city gate have long found the difference of this team, the silent and quiet atmosphere and the formation maintained during walking. This is a group of elite and terrible teams. They directly let them into the city without checking the passage documents.
Maybe modrian doesn't know yet. In the senses of outsiders, walking in front of and behind their team, he can feel inexplicable depression. There is a feeling that strangers are not allowed to enter, which is the temperament forged by killing.
......................
The winter sunshine is a little cold, with a trace of ice cold scattered on every corner of edalas city. Perhaps they have long been used to it. Pedestrians and passengers on the street are still happy to visit the city one after another. They accept new things with great enthusiasm.
Walking on the clean and tidy streets and looking around at the scattered shops around, modrian was far more surprised at the degree of free trade in edalas than he looked outside the city.
Especially now in the city, modrian has seen many foreign races passing by. They live in peace with mankind, communicate a common language, and their gentle smiles are full of strange faces.
Modrian silently looked at the lizard man standing next to the shop on the right side of the street. He had green skin, tall and strong body, coupled with sharp claws and teeth. What came alive was that the lizard stood. He was writing something. It seemed that he was buying urgently needed goods.
Following the lizard man is the ugly jackal, a slave or domestic servant of the lizard man. A machete is hidden under his thin body, and his green eyes are looking around.
This group of people should be businessmen from the behlik Kingdom, which belongs to the lizard people. It is located in the west of stoke Kingdom and close to the infinite sea. It is a very powerful military Kingdom and often harasses the cities in the west of the kingdom.
Even modrian, who has experienced the baptism of various Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, can't help lamenting the greatness of the creator in the face of other races that really exist.
As they strolled through the bustling city of edalas, modrian and his party finally stopped in front of a hotel.
Blue strawberry hotel is a very plain name, but modrian took a fancy to it at first sight. It prefers a simple house style. Sometimes green vegetation can be seen, which gives people an atmosphere of being in the forest.
