"Shopkeeper, prepare some good ones, they must be the best, you know?"

Conversations like this can be heard in the tavern.

"Okay...... Uh, let me ask if there's any big guy coming. The tavern keeper glanced at the man who spoke.

It's a cold winter in the north, and everyone's face is either red or pale.

"Big fart, if you are told to prepare, go and prepare, don't talk so much nonsense. ”

The man shouted a few more words.

Outside the window was heavy snow.

The ice and snow on this step have not been cleaned for many years, and after a long time, it has become a part, and there are countless footprints on it, all of which are guests coming and going.

"I've heard that there were a lot of insect swarms outside the walls of the North some time ago. ”

"yes, then I don't know. ”

After quieting down, someone at the next table whispered.

"You went to the south to buy goods, and it didn't take long, but fortunately, the guards on the walls resisted desperately, and finally didn't let them cross the walls...... Strange to say, although there were many at first, then there became less, and I heard the carpenters who worked on the city walls say......"

"What did they say?"

A lot of people are listening with their ears pricked up.

The man leaned into his ear.

He said that the bugs looked more like they were running away, running like crazy, barely attacking the soldiers, so the Guards of the Walls could win with a small number of soldiers. ”

I see.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"So, recently, various taverns have asked them to prepare some food, which turned out to be to mourn the deceased. ”

In Castile, there is a custom of mourning, and on the seventh day after death, a feast is set up in the house, with good food and wine, because that day is said to be the last day of the deceased to have dinner with his relatives.

Some of the soldiers on the northern city wall have no home, even if many of them are thousands of miles away, and they have not had much contact for many years, and the camp here is their home and their relatives.

"Hey, they're all young people, it's a pity, it's a pity...... It's not a big shot, but it's a big shot. After taking a sip of warm wine, he spoke a little louder, and his face was still red, and it looked as if his eyes were also red.

The taverns in the north are very quiet, probably because of the weather, many people don't like to talk much, and if you don't drink, the whole tavern is almost quiet, if there are people.

"You see, you see...... How old are the people, and there are so many sentimentals, the two of us have been working outside since we were sensible, digging coal mines, working as fishermen, and walking through mountain goods, you say that there are a lot of people who come and go, and how many people can be retained in the end. ”

"Yes, yes, those who go can't stay, and those who live are still alive. Let's go out and say a few more thanks, not talk about these sad ...... Don't say, don't say. ”

A few more bowls of spirits, and the two laughed again.

Probably because of the infection of this atmosphere, Wang Chu listened to the sound of drinking in the tavern.

Syllable.

The wine glass on the table next to it slapped loudly.

"The owner had another drink. ”

"Okay!"

Wang Chu looked over, it was a girl, and she was alone, wearing a thick coat that was a little old, and the color was not very bright, but ordinary gray and black.

It feels like most people wear it like this.

The muscles on her arms are exposed between her manners, and there are thick calluses in her palms, and her figure can be regarded as a Peugeot girl.

"That girl is supposed to be someone in the army. Lias whispered.

"Why?" said Anwenna, sitting across from her.

Wang Chu has always refused to let her drink, so she has not dared to drink, in fact, except for the dwarf's fruit wine, most of the other wine does not taste very good, very light and the smell is very big, especially this kind of northern spirit, it smells like seasoning.

Wang Chu took a sip, much like monosodium glutamate soaked in water.

It's a strange smell, so don't drink it.

Lias doesn't like to drink either, but she warms up with a small drink.

"Only girls in the army do that. "Lias used to be the commander of the empire, and I've seen a lot of girls in the military department, so it's almost like the table next door.

It's been a few days since they came down from the Dwarven Mountains, and the next destination for the three of them is the Elven Forest.

Cam said that he was going to find someone, and Lias asked a few times, but said that it was a very important person, and looking at Anwenna's excitement, the two should know each other.

It's an elf.

Lias thought to herself, but didn't ask alone.

There are not many places to go now, and the Asta Empire will never go back after the dwarf mission, I didn't expect Archbishop Benedictas to be the Midnight Child, and it is estimated that bringing back this news will bring a lot of shock, and I don't know if Modra and Mar can handle it.

There are still many high-level figures in the capital of Astadi, and it should not be difficult to stabilize the situation, but those who had a relationship with Benedictas before are estimated to be completely eradicated, and the little prince was originally unaccustomed to this old guy who was in the way, but now a good opportunity has come.

After coming down from the Dwarven Mountains, Lias first found a place to write a letter to Hajar City, this time to Fiona, the priest of the Basilica of Light in Hajar City.

Wang Chu still remembers this person, a woman in her forties, who had a good relationship with Lias's family at the beginning.

She also heard a lot about Lias's father from her.

It seems that he is still single at such an age, and Wang Chu sometimes wonders if it was Lias's father's little lover back then.

"Aunt Fiona is very good to us sisters, this time the Benedictas incident is estimated to cause a shock to the entire cathedral, and many people are afraid that it will be affected, I want Aunt Fiona to go to our territory, what do you say, Cam?"

"You decide. Wang Chu didn't care much about these things, anyway, it was just a matter of one more person and one less person.

If Lias wants to keep the other party, let her go, if she is willing to leave Hajar City.

It's not just about Benedictas, it is estimated that the rumors about the sarcoma monster in the past few days, the appearance of the Dark Monarch, and so on will really shake the human countries.

It is better to be in the north, otherwise Wang Chu estimates that a large number of kings abroad or nobles will seek refuge in their territory, so they simply leave the affairs in the city to Lucia to take care of, and no matter how bad it is, there will be an emir.

Although there is no real beneficiary country in the dwarf mission, Wang Chu can be regarded as the biggest beneficiary, and the dwarf country has fulfilled part of its promise and sent a large amount of wealth to the Valla region under his name.

Some of them were not given because the dwarven kingdom had also suffered a lot of losses and needed money to make up for it.

Wang Chu also agreed, but won the promise of direct trade with the dwarven kingdom.

The dwarves had not been able to trade directly with countries outside of Castile, but this time not only by land, but also by sea.

Wang Chu can put aside the affairs of the territory for the time being, and the first task at the moment is to go to the Elven Forest to find Gu Liana.

The number of people in the tavern gradually increased.

There is no night.

Since about three or four days ago, there has been no night in this place, and it is daytime all day, and it is said that there will be such a period of polar day in the north.
