Chapter 117: The Fog City
At about 10:20 a.m., the train arrived in Balyahat. Heliga and the others quickly crossed the platform and went straight to another train that departed at 10:35 to Regram, according to the arrangement at Tolista Station, if you accidentally missed this car, then the next train will not be sent out until about 12 o'clock, and it will be a bit troublesome to waste this time, not to mention that Jusis has been worried that if he stays too long, he will be easily discovered.
Fortunately, the process of replacing it is thrilling. After getting on the train to Regram, everyone had lunch for a while, and after a short break, they played cards for a few hours, and finally when they heard the train announcer's prompt, "There are still 1500 cels from Regram", they all let out a long exclamation, especially for Jusis and Gaius, this trip is almost the distance from Tolista to the Nolde Plateau.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Laura also briefly introduced to everyone that her hometown of Regram is located on the shores of Lake Elbair in the southeast of the empire, and nominally belongs to the Duke of Elbaria, the ruler of the state of Kruchen, but in fact, because Viscount Yarsside himself is the head of Alsside Stream, his status is extraordinary, and he is very casual about the orders of Duke Elbare that he thinks he does not need to obey. And because of this, even if he secretly excluded and sanctioned, the Duke himself could not deal with Viscount Yarsside like other nobles, which made Regram a little unusual in the current local nobility's sphere of influence. Due to the special culture of the local culture and the influence of gun *****, everyone in Regram is martial, especially women with strong martial arts will get a lot of special favor here, while men must have a lot of strength beyond the ordinary level of martial arts, in order to be able to get a different look at the women here.
As for the peculiarities of Regram, for example, in Cruchen, where the tax increase order was issued early, only Regram still maintains the ultra-low tax rate of many years ago, and only listens to the Duke's urgings and orders. In addition, after the attack on the Guerrilla Association in the Imperial Capital two years ago, the Imperial Government issued a total expulsion order for the Guerrilla Association to be under the jurisdiction of the Empire, but the Guerrilla Association branch was still preserved in the context of a high emperor like Regram and the lord himself was a very personal figure. Coupled with the local martial folk customs, and the fact that there are dozens or even hundreds of Yarsid-ryu cultivators living in the town all year round, the security situation in the area around Regram is unusually good. In addition, because it is located in the hinterland of the lake, the local climate is also mainly humid, and it is often foggy in summer and autumn, and it is a bit hot and humid in summer, so many people choose to swim in the lake, not only to exercise but also to escape the heat.
"So, it's possible that the swordsmith of light isn't in town?" Heliga pursed his lips, he knew that Victor Yarsside was often asked to serve as a martial arts instructor for the regular army of the Empire, and this time it seemed unfortunate that it had been many years since Heliga had last seen the swordsmith of light. Unlike the sword immortals who travel all over the world and basically ignore all their former apprentices, the swordsmith of light can still see it if he wants to. Although the swordsmanship and magic he used had nothing to do with the inheritance of the Semlia Continent, it could not be denied that these people had played a decisive role in his determination and belief, for which he had always wanted to thank him personally, and it was inevitable that he would be a little disappointed to learn that this was still the case. Fortunately, Butler Klaus is still in good health, which makes Heliga a little happier.
As we talked, the train began to slow down slowly.
When the students in Group A left the station, they immediately felt what kind of state Laura had called "fogging" after leaving the train station in the center of the town, and the whole town was shrouded in a white fog, with a visibility of less than fifty centimeters. Fortunately, Laura herself was familiar with the road, and quickly led everyone to the door of the martial arts training ground of the Yarsside school, and they planned to say hello first, and then go to the Viscount's Mansion.
"It's Miss Laura!" Undoubtedly, as the biological daughter of the head of the sect and the most prominent of the latest generation of disciples of the Yarsid school, Laura possessed quite an astonishing popularity, and attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared in the dojo. Seeing Laura's great popularity among the protégés, several other people couldn't help but smile Sure enough, it is worthy of Laura, this unique charm is really innate.
"Miss, welcome back." The sudden appearance of a voice made everyone can't help but turn around suddenly, it turned out to be an old man with a bit of fairy wind bones, looking at everyone with a smile.
"When's ......" Jusis creeps.
"I didn't feel any breath...... Gaius, who was protected by the Wind Elves, didn't notice.
“…… Wow, that's scary. Miriam patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"Huh...... I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. Laura turned around and said with some surprise, she has always known the strength of her housekeeper, not to mention anything else, just during the time when Fei was there, she and Fei teamed up to challenge Klaus Butler several times, and the winning rate of herself and Fei was less than 20% in the case of point to point, "The stealth skill is still a treasure knife." ”
"It's really invincible to the invasion of time." The old housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, but it could be seen that he was praised by the juniors like his granddaughter, and his mood was actually quite good, "Only the growth of the eldest lady is the only thing that is gratifying to him." And over here...... Young Master Hailiga, hehe, I haven't seen you for six or seven years. ”
"yes...... I've been back to my hometown a few times before, but I'm ashamed that I haven't been able to find time to visit you and Uncle Victor each time. Heliga bowed deeply: "I'm relieved to see that you're still in good health." ”
"Haha, a good man should go south and north, and point to the end of the world, so he doesn't have to worry about me, a bad old man." Butler Klaus smiled even more comfortably, "But...... Looks like you're completely different from before. The previous little problems seem to be ......."
"Hmm...... It's also a blessing to you, as well as the help of other friends during the trip. Those problems are no longer problems. Heiliga laughed, "However, since you are here, it means that Uncle Victor ......."
