Chapter 8: The Outskirts of Sword Castle

"Urs, we're back to the surface."

With the bright light re-illuminating the young man's vision after a few months, Thea, Bellelis and Dorothy immediately followed out of the entrance of the tunnel, and then the silver-haired and wolf-eared priest girl responded with a complicated touch in her heart, whispered this emotional word and walked slowly to the former's side.

Her experiences with the young man overlapped from the beginning of the escape from the snowfields of the Northland, and the two of them faced and endured many of the same things together, so Urs could be said to have mixed feelings when he saw the light in the tunnel, and the girl's heart was actually very touched...... At least it looks a lot more touching than Bellinglis.

The optimism and liveliness of the little girl continued from the underground tunnel to the surface at this moment, and her light little feet stepped on the grass in the sun in small leather boots the size of a dwarf and couldn't wait to dance and cheer: "Yes, Sister Thea, Brother Urs, and Sister Dorothy!" We're back to the surface again, we're back to the surface again! Ha ha! ”

Like a happy bird, she ran forward with open arms and a few steps, and came to a red maple tree outside the cave entrance and spun her head in the sky, and within a few seconds she accidentally hooked her left foot to her right foot, and then fell down with a silly laugh on her face.

Urs stood at the entrance of the cave with a giant sword, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth quickly couldn't help but laugh at her, and then turned his gaze to look at her very gently, and to be honest, he really couldn't imagine that the future Miss Archmage would be such an innocent and innocent dwarf little girl, if it weren't for the sage of the Gray Court, Yu Stina, who had made such a prophecy to everyone as a prophet.

He originally imagined what would be the effect of the little girl's magic guide research if it could be completed before the outbreak of the Northland War, but after thinking about it, this kind of innovative cross-era invention is definitely not a great cause that can be done overnight, so it is better to simply take her and himself back to the surface first, maybe what new inspiration can burst out in addition to opening her eyes?

After all, he remembered that Bellinglith had revealed to everyone that she had grown up in Casey Harbor, and that her life had been confined to the vicinity of Harbor before she met the Thorn Squad, and that she had never been to the Golden Oriole Empire.

Bellenis's joy is like Thea's kindness, and it unconsciously infects her companions.

Dorothy slowly walked out of the shadows of the cave with her cane in hand, her long fiery red hair was dyed with a few golden spots like a maple leaf in mid-autumn by the greetings and touches from the sun, her sea-blue eyes blinked in a daze under the red hair dotted with golden radiance, and then her lips below pursed as if she hesitated or hesitated, and then asked softly with a slightly shy breath: "But where is this?" ”

Miss Warlock's voice wasn't loud at all, and although she sounded more confident than she had when she had left Twilight with the others, she still had a certain inferiority complex on the whole.

This deep inferiority complex undoubtedly stems from her father's abandonment of her, Dambert Kirchas, the cunning and evil red-haired man, the former leader and betrayer of the Red Scorpion Adventures, who disappeared with the two apostles of Doom named Sana and Entropy after a fierce battle that night a few months ago.

Dorothy didn't know what her future goals were, but she felt that traveling with the Thorns Squad might be the only option before she could find the answer, and if she still had any special expectations for the future, that expectation might be to meet her father who had betrayed and abandoned her again, and find an opportunity to ask him why he did it in the first place.

What was the terrible reason for him to betray everyone in the party without mercy?

Does he really not love himself at all? Or did you just grow up as a tool from the beginning?

Why...... When did my father become like that, and I didn't even notice it......

Hearing Dorothy's inquiry, Urs turned his head and turned his gaze away from Bellinglis's face to her, his brown eyes casually seemed to be able to read the confusion that the red-haired lady had almost written on her face with a pen, and then sighed heartily for what had happened to her, and then raised his arm and pointed to the distant horizon of the hillock—

And said, "Look over there." ”

He stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and the direction of the fingertip was facing the arc of a mountain range in the distance.

The three ladies in the procession gathered together, and their eyes followed the direction of his finger to the other side of the sky and the mountain, and he could see that in the distance in that direction there were indeed several raised peaks connected in a line like the battlements of the city wall.

"That's the Ancarho Mountains, a famous cross mountain in the middle of Serón." Urs put his hand down, turned back to the three ladies beside him, and extended his thumb and index finger to gesticulate, "When it is only so big in this direction in our eyes, it almost proves that our position here is probably on the outskirts of the southern border area of Sword Castle. ”

"Thuron...... Sword Castle? The little girl tilted her head curiously.

"It's the respective territories of Fromael Ducatlet, Duke of Thurron, and Ron van Francico, Earl of Sword Keep." The young man patiently explained, but he forgot a few small details, one is that he can deduce the current location of his group when he can see the Ancarho Mountains, mainly because he has been to this suburban hill in the south of the Sword Castle in his previous life.

Second, it was no problem for Thea to hear the names of Duke Thuron and Earl of Sword Castle, but in the ears of Bellingis and Dorothy, they were not impressed at all, after all, the little dwarf girl and Miss Warlock were not from the empire in the first place, and they did not grow up in the empire since they were children, so they naturally did not know much about the political landscape in the empire.

Bellinglisy heard it a little foggy, but even if the little girl didn't know any Duke Thuron and Count of Sword Castle, she still thought about finding a little difference from the names of the two lords, so she immediately asked: "Then, Brother Urs, this Duke of Thuron Frommael Ducalet, and that Count of Sword Castle Ron Van Francico, why are the names of the two not pronounced the same?" ”

"Pronunciation?" Urs raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm...... To be precise, it should be segmented. The little girl thought about it, and immediately corrected the slip of the tongue just now, "I don't believe you, Fromair Ducalet, the first and last names are two paragraphs, and Ron Van Franceco, plus the middle name, is divided into three paragraphs. ”

"Oh, that's what you say." The young man understood, raised his hand and tapped his head and smiled, "That's right, Bellis - the surnames of human nobles are sometimes named after place names, and the middle name you mentioned is actually part of the surname, meaning 'from'. ”

"From?" The little dwarf girl's head jumped.

"Yes, like Ron Van Francico, whose name means 'Ron from Francico.'" Urs nodded, snapped his fingers, and gave a few more examples, "And Wilcens-von Hearn, Earl of Silver Shield, which means 'Wilcens from Hearn', Josman di Alsto, Mayor of Fettil, 'Yosman from Alstowe', and Urs de Shaun, 'Urs of Shaun'...... Wait a minute. ”

"Oh, I see." The future Grand Magister lady suddenly realized, her small mouth opened into an oval circle and nodded her head, and then her eyes were stunned, "Eh, Brother Urs!" You-"

"The slave knight, nominally a lord, but has neither a servant nor a manor—did I forget to tell you this?" Urs smiled casually, looked sideways at Thea, and found that his eyes and the girl's eyes were suddenly a little more or less helpless, and even Dorothy on the side immediately heard a faint distress from it.

As for Sean Village, it was the ruins of a village in the eastern mountains of the Northland Earldom, where the young man had made a monster extermination the night before he was made a slave knight by the Northland Earl, so he was promoted to knight as a low-born slave without a surname, and received the noble surname "De Sean", which was at least superficially decent.

Urs twisted his neck to end his small talk with Bellingis, and then began to remember if there was any town or village in the vicinity of the remote hill that would make it convenient for his group, and that it would be better to have a carriage or other means of transportation to carry them on their journey.

He vividly remembered that Byron Tass had waged war in his previous world on the thirty-first day of the Silent Month, the last and coldest day of the entire Year of the Candle. If nothing else, it's likely that the zombie king Erdon will attack the Northlands at the same time as in history, after all, the cold winter is in a sense an ally of the undead.

The Harvest Moon is the ninth month of the year, followed by the Falling Leaves Moon of the 10th month, the Frosty Moon of the 11th month, and finally the Silent Moon of the last month of the year.

The young man roughly estimated the travel time of the group, thinking that as long as his group did not encounter any unexpected events that had been delayed for too long on the way, the date of arrival in the Northland would probably be the middle or end of the month of the fallen leaves, and the latest would be the beginning of the frosty month.

Thea stood beside him and waited, the wolf ears in her silver hair suddenly trembling slightly, as if she had noticed something, and her amber eyes quickly stared at the bad scene below the hillock under the guidance of a very high perception.

"Look there——! Urs" She lifted her left arm and fingers, and hurriedly shouted a loud reminder for the young man to look there.

Urs's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to reality by Thea, and suddenly he immediately followed the girl's reminder to look in that direction, and found that at this moment, there seemed to be a human girl dressed as a village girl in another field of wild grass that was a little lower from his feet, and he was chasing after him with a humanoid monster with three human bodies and canine heads, and it looked like a gnoll when he looked closely......
