Chapter 315 - Trail of the Elders
Will was surprised.
After being destroyed by a giant bear, Birch Harbor was built into its current shape in a short period of time.
Ever since the outside of the boulders of Birch Harbor had come in, Wiel had noticed that the rudimentary defensive offensive seemed to have been rebuilt by Fate's strict orders.
The original barren and primitive stone span was turned into a plank road connecting the two mountains, and a one-man high battlement was built on it, which was proposed by Weier.
The path up and down was widened, and even on the mountain wall opposite the harbor, the gap that had been shattered by the giant bear was built into a staircase that could be used for emergency walking.
On either side of the hill, two low buildings were built that were supposed to store ammunition.
"I wonder how Fateh will react when he sees Tag's letter......" Will shook his head, and the ship slowly arrived in the harbor.
There were a lot of soldiers on it, but there were more ships in the harbor.
The flag fluttering on the ship's mast is clearly famous, and this is the ship on which the knights of the Northern Church traveled.
Ships were moored here, and in front of the harbor, there were many knights and patrols helping the craftsmen of the harbor to build and carry something, and a magnificent, well-organized harbor that should have looked very spectacular in Weir was slowly being built with the efforts of everyone.
Jumping off the boat, he pulled the somewhat frightened Andergeist to the shore as well.
The stone bricks under the feet cover the original messy stones, and the smooth stone slabs bring a comfortable touch, and of course, the more orderly order also makes for more tax revenue and fewer 'rats'.
Of course, for some, this is not a good thing.
But for most people, it's a happy thing.
No sooner had taken two steps forward than a patrol-like soldier stepped forward.
"Hello sir, please register your ship and cooperate with us to record the ......"
Will nodded, and just as he wanted to cooperate with the soldier in front of him to complete the task that should be followed, a voice interrupted.
"Hey! Brat! You're going to see it! The man in front of you is no ordinary person. Open your eyes and take a good look behind you, and look at the statue standing in the middle of the square! A craftsman walked up from the side and spoke loudly to the soldier.
Both the soldier and Wiel were stunned, and then their eyes couldn't help but look to the center of the harbor square.
It was only in an instant that Veil's cold sweat flowed.
The soldier rubbed his eyes when he saw the statue in the square, looked back at Wille in disbelief, and then looked adoringly.
"You must be Mr. Weir! β¦β¦ Thank you for saving Birch Harbor! All your expenses in Birch Harbor will be borne by Birch Town, and we wish you a great time here. The soldier bowed deeply to Weir, and did not pay attention to the unkind words of the craftsman beside him, but thanked the craftsman for the reminder.
Then he left the place under the watchful eye of the petrified Vere.
"He could see that it was me...... Should I stop talking? Such thoughts became more and more difficult to control in Weier's mind, and the little old man next to him looked at Weir with very complicated eyes, not because of the statue in front of him, but because he suddenly felt that Weier's body also seemed to have a demonic temperament.
The craftsman stepped forward to speak to Veel.
"Wait...... Now you don't have to say anything...... Tell me first, whose work is this statue? Then he muttered softly, "This person has discovered me too...... Do you want to kill people? β
"Mr. Wiel, allow me to introduce myself a little, I am the person in charge of this birch port project, my name is Fandy, and I am also a sculptor."
"So, you mean, this statue is your work?"
"Yes, Mr. Will, my adoration of you is like a splash in the endless sea, and it will never cease...... Oh, it's not just me, anyone who saw your heroic figure that day will never forget you. The craftsman continued, not noticing that Will's face was already pitch black, "I was troubled by the fact that the image of you who had defeated the demon that day had no way of disappearing in my mind, so I carved it out and prepared it to be a sign of this new port, and all who came to the harbor would know that it was you, Mr. Will, who helped us deal with the demon's attack." β
Will had a gloomy face, as if he had taken out something very dangerous in his hand. "Okay...... It's good if you admit it...... Then it's time for you to be haunted...... I'm going to kill you, and then I'm going to ...... Hmmm......"
Andergast hurriedly covered Weir's mouth and dragged the struggling Weir out of here.
He said to the craftsman, "I...... I am Wille...... Lord's ...... Uh-huh, butler, that, he ...... Excited...... Glad...... This one...... Walked away...... Let's go, let's go......"
"I'm going to kill my mouth! β¦β¦ Not...... Let me go! β¦β¦ You let go of me! "Wiel struggled and was taken away by Andergest.
The craftsman scratched his head, and in any case, as the writer who carved this statue, was ...... by the subject of the sculpture himself The housekeeper said, that is, he said that he felt very happy to see his statue, and it was a great honor.
"Mr. Wille...... What a heroic and kind man. β
As far as the craftsman could see, there was a statue standing in the center of the square, where all corners of the square could be seen.
A spear slathered with gold lacquer was the color of the morning light, symbolizing hope.
A long ribbon, representing honor, is also engraved with the exploits of Will, softly surrounding Will's body, like wings flying into the sky.
The spear is held in the right hand and the left hand is flattened, representing a combination of mercy and force.
Standing with both feet uplifted and one leg slightly bent, it represents sharpness and charge, symbolizing the indomitable momentum and the future of the port.
The 'naked' body at the end, with its plump muscles, represents the heroism and beauty of Wille himself.
"Perfect ......" craftsman Fandi couldn't help but revel in his work, and then looked respectfully in the direction where Wille had left.
β¦β¦
"Why are you pulling me away...... Well, you're right...... "Ver really couldn't understand the beauty and, above all, the statue of David that looked like his own head...... As soon as Wiel thought of this, he felt the urge to destroy the statue. "Sure enough...... I still want to silence it. β
"What bothers you so much, my friend?"
"Fate?" Vere turned to look at the comer, it was Fate, who was standing in front of him in clean clothes, not the clothes of the patrol. "Why aren't you wearing that uniform?"
"I won't wear it anymore...... I'm retired. "The people asked me to be the deputy mayor, and I agreed, because I had something to promise you...... Well, this place hasn't been repaired yet, and the materials needed for the dock haven't arrived yet, but the entire harbor has expanded a lot because of the monster's destruction. β
Fatet looked at Andergeist, who was standing beside Weel, "By the way, have you seen that statue in the square?" It was carved for you by the master carver of Birch Harbor. β
Vere held out a hand, "Don't mention that...... Don't mention it...... I'm afraid I can't help it. β
A strange smile appeared on Fate's face, and Ver felt like he wanted to draw his knife again. "Wouldn't you like to introduce me?"
"His name is Andergest, and that's the clue I found."
"He looks familiar."
"Well, he was Wolf's wizard before......" said Will, and Fate frowned, "but he's a good man, more like a hard labor in captivity." β
"Well, since that's what you think you are......" Fateh looked at the little old man Andergeist with a scrutinizing eye, and then turned his gaze to Will.
"So, do you already have a goal?" Fateh asked.
"Nope." Wille stretched out his hands and said to Fate, "I just found some evidence of the person I wanted to find...... Of course, I also met someone I wanted to find...... But ......" Werr told Fater about EllΓΆ.
"So there's such a thing...... Mourn......ing, Will, people cannot be resurrected," said Fate, "but I really didn't expect that the violent fluctuation of magic would be like this. β
"So, I really have a clue for you, although there are quite a few people coming these days, but there is no ship you mentioned."
"What clues?"
"In order to follow the mage's leads, I found a hermit organization deep in the mountains...... "Fat," said Fate, "and an elder willing to help us. Maybe he'll be able to get some information about the information you want. β
Weir nodded, "Okay, where should I go up there to find him?" β
