Chapter 31: The Prosperous City of Fernando
"This dwarven master, you're alright!"
Hearing this sudden words, the dwarf, who had given up, slowly opened his eyes, the dazzling sunset made him unable to see the face of the person who came, he raised his hand to cover his forehead, and then he saw the face of the person clearly. Pen "Fun" A mercenary who looks relatively young in the pavilion www.biquge.info, with a majestic body of nearly two meters, some dark skin, resolute cheeks, a pair of bright blue eyes makes the person look extraordinarily energetic, straight and slender legs, and a well-proportioned body, indicating that he has strong lower limb strength, from the rock-like muscles on his outstretched arms, it is not difficult to see what amazing power it will exude once it erupts, his long hair is tied back with strips of cloth at will, and there are some beards on his chin that are disorderly, and it is not that this person is unkempt at a glance, is his kind of person who has no time to take care of himself after a long journey.
Just as the dwarf who collapsed to the ground was looking at the person carefully, Krazer was also looking at him, as he had just thought, this short man was indeed a dwarf, he had brownish-red hair like withered grass, messy like a bird's nest, about one meter four or five tall, and was wearing some extremely worn leather armor, his height alone was not enough to prove his identity as a dwarf, it was the beard on his chin that made Kreezer recognize his true identity, because only dwarves in all the races on the entire Montimos continent would carefully take care of their beards and ignore their other places。
"This dwarven master, you're not hurt, are you?"
Seeing that the latter was slow to react, Krazer couldn't help but ask again, he thought that the dwarf who was sitting on the ground had suffered some kind of leg injury, so he didn't get up for a long time.
"Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you, unknown barbarian mercenary!" After the other party asked three times in a row, the dwarf who fell to the ground also reacted at this time, this extremely impolite action, looking at Krazer's hand that had been raised in the air, he smiled embarrassedly, stretched out his hand, held Kreze's hand tightly, and stood up.
"Hehe, my name is Krezer, what should I call you?" Looking at the dwarf who seemed to be in shock, Krazer pushed the berserk demon bear that was still standing to the ground, stepped forward and pulled out his spear vigorously, and quickly moved the leaves on the ground to wipe off the yellow and white things on it, while asking tentatively, he knew that dwarves were generally the kind of strange personality that was difficult to get along with people.
"My name is Camosiddo!" looked at the person who was packing up the loot, and at this time the dwarf Camosiddo realized that the berserk demon bear was actually shot through the mouth by a spear about two meters long, and with a strong force, it directly penetrated the entire body and was directly nailed to the ground, which made him think that the man was a barbarian warrior known for his strong body. He looked at Kreeser as he carefully wiped his bloodstained spear and hesitated for a moment before asking. "Have you seen a group of people running past here?"
"Well, you said that the group of mercenaries! See, they were clustered around a well-dressed young man in the direction of Fernando City, it must be called Fernando City, right? After looking the dwarf Camosiddo up and down, Kraser tilted his head in the direction of the group of people fleeing. "Are you their companion?"
"Thanks, I've got to go after them, goodbye!" But the dwarf Carmosido didn't answer Krazier's question, and was about to get up and chase after the mercenaries.
"But. The wounds on your body are still bleeding, don't you take a break, tidy up the wounds? I have bandages and some potions to stop bleeding, although they are all homemade, but they are very effective. Krazer asked with a little hesitation, apparently this was another skill he had learned after living in the forest for so long, and now he could almost quickly distinguish which plants had medicinal effects, thus further ensuring his safety in the forest.
"It's okay, we dwarves are very strong, thank you for your concern. After hearing Kreze's words, the dwarf Camosiddo waved his hand indifferently to show that he was okay, and then he dragged his injured body, picked up the battle axe that had fallen on the ground and rushed in the direction where the group of mercenaries had disappeared, limping into the woods.
Kreeser looked at the lonely back of the dwarf Camosidó, and opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything. After watching the dwarf Carmosido disappear, Krazer skillfully divided the furious giant bear, cut off valuable fur, teeth, skulls, bear paws and other things into spatial rings, and quickly moved away from this place.
At this time, it was close to the sun going down, and the night was the time when some beasts came out to hunt, so Krazer only roughly cut off some meat, and a lot of it was left there, and the roar of wild beasts came not far away, and it was getting closer and closer, and the smell of blood in the forest meant food, and this was the most basic rule of survival in the forest. Listening to the whispers and wails of wild beasts fighting each other behind him, Krazer knew that apparently the remains of the furious bear had become the dinner of the night predators, but this time he did not move forward in the same way as he jumped forward with the branches, he took a step and walked nimbly through the woods, and at last he stood outside the great gates of the city of Fernando, as the pale young man spoke, before the sun went down.
At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, and Krazer looked at the huge city gate in front of him, and saw that it was already brightly lit but still full of traffic, and the noisy sound made him suddenly feel like a world away. For a moment he stood here, oblivious to the strange gazes cast by passing merchants and pedestrians.
It is true that anyone who has lived in the mysterious and uninhabited forest of Mistrica Kereth for nearly two months will have this feeling, which is something he didn't dare to think about before, it seems that the old man Stiller is so right, if you don't go out and explore, you will never know how magical and vast the outside world is, and if you don't push yourself, you will never know how much energy will burst out of your little body. After he came back to his senses, he took a deep breath, the pungent smell of horse manure in the air made him feel very kind, straightened his clothes, put the more curious Tanatos on his shoulder, and slowly walked to join the flow of people into the city, walking towards the gate of Fernando, which was already not far away.
As the distance to the city gate closes, Kreezer realizes that the city in front of him, called Fernando, is an extremely large city, but judging by its thick gates, it is far larger than the nearest city of Galder. When Kratzer followed the crowd to the city gate, he couldn't help but look around at the tall and majestic city wall, which had been worn by hundreds of years of sword and axe.
Among them, the huge claw marks directly above the city gate are particularly eye-catching. Seeing these deep claw marks, Kraser remembered its owner, Paddington, the Earth War Bear, and even more remembered the old man Stiller who chose to stay behind in order to let him leave safely, and for a while he looked at the claw marks above the city gate, and it was not until the impatient urging of the people behind him that he relieved himself and walked into the famous city of Fernando with the flow of people.
As the crowd walked along the brightly lit streets, Fraser looked curiously at both sides of the street, admiring the city of Fernando at night and thinking of the city of Fernando in his mind. He remembers seeing a detailed account of the city in his mentor's yellowed history of the Opdos Empire.
It is recorded that the city of Fernando was an important military fortress city on the frontier of the Opdos Empire, an important gateway to resist foreign invasions, and it was also a city where the Optos Empire and the elves once wrestled, after hundreds of years of continuous expansion of the empire, Galder City replaced Fernando as the frontier town of the western frontier of the empire, but it did not decline, because it is one of the two largest cities from the elven forest Isenheim.
The city of Fernando was not called this name at first, its name comes from the general Clark Fernando who guarded here three hundred years ago in the Opdos Empire, for this brave general who dedicated his life to the empire, the Opdos Empire of course did not hesitate to reward, and in the later years of Clark Fernando, he granted the hereditary family honor and awarded the title of Grand Duke, and named the city that Clark Fernando guarded all his life after him.
Today, the city of Fernando is no longer a military city, but has gradually developed into a rich city of commercial hubs. It is no surprise that the second son of the fourth Grand Duke of the Fernando family, Fisher Fernando, is still in the position of Fernando, and under his careful rule, even the dwarven tribes living far north of it come to trade, so you have a chance to buy dwarven armor and elven swords in this city, so that the city is more prosperous and rich. Even after nightfall, the city is a city that never sleeps.
When night had fallen, in the middle of the city of Fernando stood a vast castle, in a room with a simple score.
"Father, Bastoy is still so nonsense, he is not young anymore, you don't care!" A blonde young man in his thirties, dressed in a neat military uniform, looked respectfully at the middle-aged man sitting on a sandalwood chair with a pattern depicted in gold powder, and his expression was majestic, and his words unconsciously had a hint of anger.
"What he has done has endangered the honor of the family, and even his unbearable reputation has spread to the imperial capital with the mercenaries in the past, and if your grandfather knows about it, it will be very bad for your reputation. Seeing that the latter did not speak, the blonde young man in a neat military uniform spoke again, and the anger in his words became stronger.
But the middle-aged man sitting in the chair just let out a helpless sigh, and then stopped moving.
"In that case, if you don't have any orders, then I'll go out first, Father!" The young man in a neat military uniform waited for a while, and when he saw the middle-aged man in the chair let out a sigh, he didn't react, then straightened up, bowed deeply to the middle-aged man, turned around, and walked towards the door.
"Kreuzer, no matter what he did wrong, you must always remember that he is your brother!" said the middle-aged man sitting in the chair with a slightly complicated expression as he looked at the young man's back, and after he finished saying this, he closed his eyes again, looking very tired.
The young man who was walking out of the room was stunned when he heard this, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, but then he quickly relaxed, but did not speak again but walked straight to the outside of the room, and after he walked out of the door, he looked back and closed the door respectfully, and left the courtyard where the room was located.
But before he could get out of the yard, when he was passing by the small garden, he happened to see a blond young man with disheveled clothes, a pale face and an extremely embarrassed expression, and almost the same appearance walking in.
"Are you messing around again? Bastoi!"
"Then you have gone to your father to complain again? My dear brother, you are still as annoying as ever, don't put on a good brotherly posture for me, do you want to put on your hypocritical expression in front of your father! Come on, now that your father is not here, you better save it!" Facing the young man in a neat military uniform, the disheveled young man looked extremely impatient, and he buttoned his ears with his little thumb disdainfully, and his eyelids drooped. "Do you have any other commands, my dear brother, if I don't, I'm going to rest, bye!"
After that, the disheveled young man walked straight inside without waiting for the neatly dressed young man to say anything, not caring at all about the latter's feelings, and when he passed by the courtyard where the middle-aged man's room was, he paused and glanced at the closed door in the courtyard, and then looked away from the courtyard with a complicated expression. In this way, the whole castle fell into peace, and it was not until a long time later that a sigh came from the room where the middle-aged man was, which contained endless sadness.
"Alas, Doriel, how nice it would be if you were still there, how much I miss you!"
