Chapter 348: Aviheim Has Three Treasures
To the east of "Iveheim", there is a dangerous area with complex terrain, including ancient forests that cover the sky, endless loess sand dunes, and even a large silt swamp that exudes a terrifying atmosphere.
Since Sigma established the empire, this land has been belonging to the northern "Steele Domain" until the imperial calendar 1010, when the emperor "Fat" Ludwig tasted the cooking skills of the halfling elders, all the palace cooks were replaced with halflings, and then in order to thank them for their outstanding contributions, Ludwig divided the land where they had lived for generations from the "Steele Territory" and became an independent "Mutt Dominion", which was handed over to the halflings to rule by themselves, which is also outside the ten major provinces in the empire. The only Dominion.
"I see, Miss Brienne, I didn't expect you, from the Far North, to know more about the Empire than I do."
Under the night sky where the moon and the stars shine, in the dense woods, two figures are struggling to move forward one after the other, and the mercenary who walked behind said to her tall companion in front of her.
In the moonlight, Brienne's short blonde hair, which was walking in front, was dyed with a layer of shimmering silver, which contrasted sharply with the black leather armor on her body, which was very conspicuous.
When she was bored on the road, she roughly told Fitandila about the history of the halflings and the "Mutt Dominion", these things were all learned in the game before, for these background knowledge, she has a far more than usual interest in learning, if she had this momentum in reading, I am afraid that she would have reached the peak of her life long ago.
I didn't expect that it was just a small hobby to kill time, but after crossing over, it gradually showed its effect.
"So we're going to halfling's territory now?"
Since the death of her adoptive father, Fitandila has been under heavy pressure, saying that it is not painful is all pretending, and now she does not have to worry about the livelihood of thousands of people, she finally shows her due innocence and liveliness, in front of her equally excellent peer "Princess Brienne", she completely let go of her defense, and temporarily left behind all the weight that should not belong to her age.
"No, we're going to the border between Iveling and Muth, the heart of this forest."
Brienne replied without looking back, and the Norscan woman's tone was not only full of impatience, but also mixed with a hint of helplessness.
Along the way, she answered the questions of the female knight, who was like a curious baby, full of interest in everything.
In "Heideck", he and the mercenary group acted separately, this was a plan that Shi had long made, and only he, Rep and the old bones knew about it, but now there was one more.
After the separation, Rep continued north with a large force of the "Forgiveness Mercenary Regiment" to "Aviheim", repairing and replenishing supplies, and preparing to go to the ship of "Aldolph".
All the way west along the Ivey River, is the former capital of the empire, one of the four major cities of the "White Tower City" Nune, this military town is located at the confluence of the Ivey River and the Rick River, from here to the recourse, along the Rick River, you can directly reach the current political and economic center of the empire, "Aldolph".
Although there are countless ships of all sizes coming and going on this waterway every day, there are still a few people who can accommodate so many mercenary groups, and most of them only go to "Nunn", and they have to re-contact new ships when they get there, so the best way is to spend more time in "Aviheim" and find a big boat to charter down, so that it is convenient and comfortable, as for the cost, Rep has money anyway.
In fact, when he left for "Fetenburg", Rep had already written to the intelligence officers stationed in "Aviheim", asking them to pay attention to finding suitable ships, which might have been found, and they could set off with a little preparation.
As for the free time in between, Stone didn't intend to waste it, and that's why he suddenly parted ways.
It's just that this was supposed to be a secret solo operation, but when he went out in the middle of the night, he happened to be bumped into by Fitandila, who didn't even say anything, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he followed, and waited until dawn to find that there was a small tail behind him, and it was too late to say anything else, so he could only take her with him.
And where are they going.........
"The heart of this forest? It can't be a beastman again, right? Or the Greenskin Tribe? Why, you Lordaeron still have a relationship here? ”
To be associated with the forest, Fitandila can only think of two annoying races.
"Don't underestimate these forests, two-thirds of the empire is forested, and there are more species living in the forests than you might think, such as a race known as the Green Chaos......"
The stone looked up through the gaps between the branches and relied on the stars to discern the direction, and at the same time used his long sword to pluck away the weeds in front of him, and struggled forward.
The "Iron-Blooded Sword" was still behind her, and the other "Brave Thorn" had been forced back by Rep to death, so she had to find a casual ordinary standard longsword to use first.
"Green Chaos? Be...... Followers of the Chaos Gods? ”
Fitandila followed closely behind her, and although she had been walking for a day and a night, her face did not show any tired look, but her eyes flashed with curiosity.
"No, they are...... I'll tell you later, we're here. ”
Brienne stopped abruptly and pointed to the edge of the woods ahead.
Fitandila looked up and saw that the dense forest had fallen behind her, and there seemed to be some buildings in front of her.
The two quickened their pace out of the woods, and before them appeared a large clearing that should not exist, the kind where no grass grows, and if you looked down from the sky, you would find that they were now in the middle of a sea of trees, which seemed to have been struck by a great hammer, and became a flat land.
As the moonlight shone brightly, Fitandila finally saw the buildings in the clearing.
It is the remains of a complex of buildings, with three towering minarets at its core, surrounded only by broken walls and ruins, which have been eroded by time, but still show that it was once a thriving city.
Led by Brienne, the two walked through the ruins to the front of the three minarets, these buildings are obviously different from humans or dwarves, the surface of the towers is beautifully carved and delicately carved and patterned, although it is dilapidated, but it is difficult to hide the superb skill, this style is only one in the entire Warhammer world, and that is the elves!
It was once a city of elves!
