Chapter 632 Boreas’ Life (3)

With an understanding expression Lyra nodded her head knowing well the tyranny that Tralenstein had perpetrated for centuries until the recent civil war completely uprooted the previously established status quo.

Now nobles could not treat commoner like they were their property, and they had to properly manage their territory in order to keep their status and wealth.

Of course, this had no negative impact on Lyra as her family had already been the closest to doing what Borealia’s new grasp on Tralenstein was enforcing on their politics.

“Now obviously I have quite bit to tell before we get to the actual rebellion and subsequent spitting from Tralenstein.” Boreas said going back to where he had been at before.

“Tralenstein had only been trying to expand its northern borders into the wild area above it for around twelve years and I was requested by an associate of mine to lead a group of people up to the frontier as trailblazers.”

Of course, Boreas agreed to this as was pretty obvious since it was where he eventually founded Borealia, and along with that a number of the people he led on this mission ended up as his long-time party members.

Hearing this Marcus remembered something and took the blaze glove out of his item box before handing it over to Boreas..

“I forgot that I still had this in my possession. Even after the battle there was much for all of us to do so I imagine that a magic tool even as great as this was forgotten for a time.” Marcus said.

Seeing the blaze glove Boreas’ eyes welled up with nostalgia as it was once an item that belonged to a friend of his who was long dead now.

“I see so you were using Hagan’s old, treasured magic glove.” Boreas said as he took it and held it in his hands while he looked down at it for a few moments.

Though even though he was overwhelmed with emotions for a little bit, he quickly recomposed himself and put the blaze glove away into his own item box.

“Thank you for returning this to me Marcus. I will make sure it gets back t its proper location at a later time.” Boreas said before continuing the tale of his life.

He went on to talk about all of the little adventurers he had with his group as they cleared out groups of monster and beasts, and allowed for other people to come in and develop settlements in the ever-expanding territory that would one day become Borealia

“Ah then around two years into our expedition we were heading back towards the largest town in the area and found it being attacked by a group of monsters called Xorn which are especially reviling.”

Boreas then described them and even just hearing their appearance from him was enough to unsettle everyone here who had never encountered this type of monster before.

“It really sounds like quite the abomination I must say. I mean they have three eyes and arms surround a huge mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and they walk on three legs as well. Talk about unnatural.” Jaela said, quite appalled to hear about this monster.

Both Marcus and lyra agreed with her and nodded their heads. The images that their minds had made up for them were not appealing in the least.

In fact, other than the eldritch horrors Marcus had seen that Teivel summoned, he could not think of anything else he had seen in this world that was more disturbing than these creatures sounded.

“Yeah, it was certainly the dangerous situations since the town pretty much had no magical defenses and some of the Xorn were even around level forty, so they easily pushed into the town proper and began killing people.”

He went onto describe the terrible state the town was in and how the guards and really anyone who could fight had banded together to try and repulse the monsters.

Still, they were outmatched and were barely holding on with the help of a nature magic specialist.

‘Ah I thought this sounded familiar.’ Marcus said as a memory from around a year and a half ago popped up.

He had already read about this from a different point of view in the diary he found in the kingdom’s archive, so he sat back and listened to how the turn of events differed based on perspective.

“Naturally I could not just let this town go down, since it was the largest settlement for dozens of miles and the place where my group and I were using as a base at the time. So, we went to work and quickly exterminated the Xorn.” Boreas said.

Though the way he went through how the battle went was different than what Marcus had read in Juniper’s diary, which definitely had been written through rose tinted glasses.

“After we defeated the threat the mayor of the town invited us to his estate and put us up and thanked us profusely with a feast. Though his daughter was certainly a bit annoying and pushy at the time.” Boreas said with as a soft smile appeared on his face.

Marcus picked up on this and was probably the only one who understood that even though Boreas had just said his former party member was annoying, he was looking back on their first meeting fondly.

“I see so this is when Juniper joined you.” Marcus said with a wry smile.

Boreas for his part looked stunned to hear this and was unable to hide how surprised he was that Marcus knew this.

“Did Gwyn tell you all of this already?” Boreas said with a cocked eyebrow.

“No, Juniper’s diary is in the archive, and when I was looking through it for certain information with Mrazivý we came across Juniper’s diary and read it. Therefore, I at least know some of what happens from this point on from Juniper’s perspective.” Marcus said with a smirk.

Boreas for his part seemed baffled. He had not known that his old party member’s diary had ended up in the castle’s archive.

“I see, did Gwyn put it there? … No, it was probably more likely done by Alexandra.” Boreas began mumbling to himself as he thought about who of his old part members might have put the diary there.

Eventually after this revelation he came back to himself since everyone’s eyes were still on him, and he coughed loudly, before saying, “Yes where was I. Ah that is right, as Marcus so kindly pointed out this is where Juniper joined us, or should I say forced her way onto the team.”

Apparently while Juniper thought she had been allowed to join right from the start, Boreas and the others wanted nothing to do with her. Still, she just kept running after them and they could not seem to get rid of her as she was just high enough level to keep up with them and could track them with her nature magic.

“Though once we settled on letting her in, she proved useful once we got her leveled up. Her nature magic was definitely impressive and having her out in the middle of the wilds was immensely helpful.”
