On November 5, 1456, the year of the starfall calendar, the footsteps of the winter season quietly arrived.

After leaving Perris Castle for more than a month, Modrian and his party crossed the wilderness plains and stepped into the northern part of the Stoke Kingdom.

Barrenness and desolation were Morrian's impressions of the northern part of the kingdom, as if they were in a cold and uninhabited region, and there were very few merchants and mercenaries on the road, most of them nervously watching the cavalry team galloping by.

The Great Patriotic War, which lasted for ten years, created countless heroes and nobles for the Stoke Kingdom, but also left too many scars on the huge body, especially in the northern part of the kingdom, which was the main battlefield at that time.

One of the remaining problems is the countless bandits, who are firmly nailed to this cold region like a stubborn disease, harassing and slaughtering people in the wilderness, making the northern part of the kingdom even more chaotic, and only towns with the kingdom's garrison will be much safer.

After more than a month of wandering, Modrian can be said to have experienced more than a dozen waves of robberies and sneak attacks, war horses, weapons, are the favorite of robbers and bandits, then, killing under greed is inevitable.

"Cooper, is there the city of Edalas ahead? It's really bustling! ”

The hurried cavalry came to the foot of the mountain, and the leader lifted his cloak covered with wind and sand, revealing a young face, short blonde hair facing the sun, and brown eyes with a weathered taste.

"Yes, Lord Modrian, this is Edalas, the golden crossroads of the kingdom!" Cooper, who was beside him, looked up on his horse and replied.

The city stands tall in the mountains, the cold weather makes the sides of the ridge icy and edgeless, and the nearly six-foot high walls just right to block the only road in the pass, crowded with people, dense caravans, and other ethnic faces appear from time to time.

As the most prosperous city in the north of the Stoke Kingdom, Edalas City is the most brilliant pearl of Silverpine Province.

At the same time, it is also the trading center of the northern part of the kingdom, and its excellent geographical location makes it connected in all directions, with the Gate of Sorrows to the north, the Empire of Eranfaro, the Kingdom of Besilik to the west, and the Grand Duchy of Tambefarsa to the east.

Countless merchants stay and leave here every day, as well as mercenaries from all over the world, who will bring rare items from different countries to the north of the kingdom, as well as new things happening in various parts of the continent.

Looking at the bustling and majestic city in front of him, Modri sighed with some relief, almost no less than the modern city of the earth in the previous life.

"And further north, the Gate of Sorrow, the kingdom's war bulwark?" Modrian continued to ask curiously, an unknown thought flashing through his brown pupils.

The door of sorrow.

At the mention of the name, Cooper remembered that once upon a time, on the other side of the Gate of Sorrow was one of the most powerful empires on the continent of Karadimos, the Elmfaro Empire.

The frosty road guarded by the Gate of Sorrow was the only road between the two countries, which led to the decade-long Great Patriotic War caused by the invasion of the Gate of Sorrow by the Elanfaro Empire.

"Yes, Lord Modrian, the Gate of Sorrows, the most powerful war bulwark in the kingdom, where Lord Viscount Brooke has performed great feats, and I have the privilege of being a part of it."

Cooper looked nostalgic, the bloody years were gone, but the memory was deeply engraved in the soul, recalled from time to time.

Listening to Cooper's words, he was awakened to the information about that period of time in the fragments of Modrian's memory, and his father, Viscount Brooke, was awarded the title of Viscount of the Kingdom for his exploits in the Ten Years of Patriotic War, and was a hero of the war at that time.

"Let's go into town, Edalas City is not far from the town of Irwindale, and it's our last stop to repair." Modrian said, pointing to the city in front of him.

The reason for choosing this place for renovation is very simple, compared to other surrounding cities, Edalas City is a city in the north of the kingdom that is less influenced by the Jeffrey family, and there are many forces here, especially near the Gate of Sorrow, so that the Jeffrey family does not dare to reach out to touch it in a big way.

Modrian and his party followed the crowd and entered the city safely, without any obstacles or episodes.

The veterans stationed at the city gate had already noticed the difference in this team from a distance, the silent and quiet atmosphere, the formation maintained while walking, this was a group of elite and terrible teams, and they were directly let into the city without checking the passage documents.

Maybe Modrian still doesn't know, in the senses of outsiders, walking in front and behind their team, they can feel inexplicable oppression, and there is a feeling that no one is allowed to enter, which is the temperament forged by killing.

......................

The winter sun was chilly, and it swept over every corner of the city of Edalas, perhaps as they were accustomed to it, and the pedestrians and travelers of the streets still enjoyed the city, and they embraced new things with great enthusiasm.

Walking through the clean streets and looking around at the scattered shops, Modrian was far more amazed at the extent of free trade in the city of Edalas than it seemed outside the city.

Especially now in the city, Modrian has seen many aliens passing by, they live in peace with humans, they share a common language, and their gentle smiles are full of strange faces.

Modrian silently looked at the lizardman standing next to the shop on the right side of the street, with green skin, tall and strong body, with sharp claws, it was the lizard standing still, he was scribbling something, as if he was buying something urgently needed.

Behind the lizardmen is the ugly gnolls, slaves or servants of the lizardmen, with a scimitar hidden under their thin stature, and their green eyes looking around.

This group of people is supposed to be merchants from the kingdom of Besilik, which belongs to the kingdom of lizardmen, located in the west of the kingdom of Stoke, near the Infinity Sea, and is a fairly powerful military kingdom, often harassing the cities in the western part of the kingdom.

Even Modrian, who had experienced the baptism of various Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the Creator in the face of other races that really existed.

Wandering through the hustle and bustle of the city of Edalas, Modrian's group finally stopped in front of a hotel.

Blue Strawberry Inn, a very plain name, but Modrian took a fancy to this place at first sight, with a simple house style, sometimes visible green vegetation, and a feeling of being in the forest.
