Chapter 633: The Wall of the Northern Realm
It was a really cold day, and it felt like winter again.
But hasn't the mainland just reached summer, and it is estimated that the direction of the imperial capital is still in the season of heavy rain.
Lias put on a dress and wore a thick coat over it...... As for Anvena, even elves don't like the snow season.
The only thing that made a good impression on her was when she went back to Sifigus's house in Hajar City in the winter.
Emile and she got along very well, and both of them had a good time that winter.
Wang Chu had asked her how she had snowed when she was in the forest.
However, the other party said that there had been no snow in the south for many years, and the last time it snowed was eighty or ninety years ago.
That's long enough time for the seasons to change in a region.
"Usually when it snows, we hide under the trees, as if most of the animals in the forest don't go out, waiting for the winter to pass. ”
The snowy weather is only more than a month at most, and it is almost not time in the elves, it is just a blink of an eye, and it will pass in a while.
After entering the northern border, there were fewer accompanying troops.
Probably because the time of day to go out is different, after all, it is too difficult to get up early when it is cold.
If it's only a few minutes late, the people who came all the way at that time might have been left behind.
Anyway, Wang Chu felt that there were a lot fewer people accompanying him after arriving in the north......
Mina still likes to come over occasionally to chat with Lias and Wang Chu, and after thinking about it for a few days, she finally realized that what Lias said was not her previous position, probably referring to that she was no longer an imperial general.
It is true that I have not seen the iconic sword of the Imperial General in the past few days, and Mina has seen many Imperial generals before, although her status is not as high as that of Lias, but she also knows a lot about the Imperial General.
Why resign from such a high position.
How many people can't think of it...... Mina, who is an ordinary pauper, never understands.
At this time, he came over with two bowls of root soup.
"Here, General Lias, drink a little, it will be more comfortable. He handed it to Lias and Anwenna.
"Made our circus cook, there are a lot of ...... I'll get you another bowl when I'm done. ”
"Thank you!" Lias took it unceremoniously.
This kind of grass root tastes very similar to ginger soup, and then put some sugar cubes in it and boil it until it is sticky, and it tastes similar to ginger soup back then.
"Would you like to have some, Cam. Lias lowered the bowl slightly and brought it under the squirrel's head on her chest.
I took two sips, and it didn't taste very good.
There is a choking nose with an aftertaste, but it warms up, and it feels as if there is a stream of air spreading in the body, and the whole person is more energetic.
"What this stuff tastes so weird. ”
"A warming soup, if you don't like it, don't drink it. Lias said to Anwenna behind her.
I looked at the soup in my bowl, and it was quite warm.
Wanting to pour it out but reluctant to give up that sweet taste, after hesitating for a moment, Anwenna still decided to pinch her nose and drink it in one gulp.
The snowflakes are fine.
There is not much snow around the road, only a few small snowflakes in a few places, which have already frozen, so the horses walk very slowly.
Mina ran over at this time, her face flushed, probably because she had just drunk the soup.
"One more time, General Lias. ”
"No thanks...... And you don't need to call me a general in the future, I'm no longer the commander of the Asta Empire. Lias saw that the other party had always called herself like this, and it was good that others didn't hear it, and if they did, people who didn't know themselves would inevitably get into trouble.
"Oh, I see, but why? You're still so young and an Imperial General, maybe you can be even better in the future!" Mina couldn't tell the rank of general, but in her opinion, Lias was already one of the best in the local imperial capital, at least in the hearts of the people.
"Because I decided to go to the Valla region, which will henceforth be my territory and Cam's. ”
Lias didn't hide it, and the news would come slowly anyway.
The kings of the various nations have returned, both for the land allotment and for the benefits.
As the pattern slowly changes, the whole diplomacy will find a change, and when the time comes, the lord of the Valla region, Rias, or the lord of the forest, Valla, and so on. It will spread to the whole continent.
"The lord of a region!"
I think back to what the other party said in those days, as well as the speculation in the circus.
It is said that the major empires have divided the Aturan Empire, and it seems that this time the king of the forest has also received a part of the territory.
The king of a region is more meaningful than being a general of a country, the general is only honor, and the lord of the region is the heirloom, which Mina still knows clearly.
"Oh, yes. I've also heard the news that a large number of troops have gathered in the north, and they will go to the Dwarven Plateau here, and the road to the Dwarven Plateau will go northeast in the next city, where it will go around the walls. The circus won't go over there, so ...... We're going to part in the next city. Mina put away the bowl in their hands and waved to Lias as a goodbye.
"Well, I'd love to see you next time!" Lias nodded.
Until now, she didn't remember who the other party was, probably it was really a passerby who knew her in the imperial capital.
Wang Chu looked at the other party's beckoning a little less.
That's looking at yourself.
Then he turned around and left.
This girl is not bad-hearted, from the last time she helped the team to cook a fire, it can be seen that she may have scheming but no ambition, just a person who lives simply to survive.
Even the poorest of the poor, they still want to live the life they want, perhaps lowly or humble.
I don't want to let down this life easily.
The team walked for another day and saw the buildings, like a city built in the snow.
The entire walls of the Mage Tower are covered with a layer of ice.
Behind them, all the peaks are snowy and there are many tall arrow towers, for from a distance they look like small buildings, but they can be seen clearly.
As for further afield...... Wang Chu found that many adventurer teams coming from afar would consciously look in the direction there.
I can't see it clearly, it's too far away.
You can only vaguely see some snow-capped mountains.
"Do you see that over there, on the other side of the mountain, that is where the northern wall, the highest wall of mankind, is located, the northern army of Castile has been independent of the state for thousands of years, just to protect that wall, it is a long stretch from west to east, almost connected to the plateau of the dwarven kingdom. Said a team of adventurers behind him.
