Chapter 634: Dwarven Kingdom
That's the Wall of the North?
Wang Chu and Lias both took a second look, but they could only see a little bit of it from a long distance, and it turned out that the buildings that grew like ice towers were the defense towers on the city wall.
How high is that to be seen from so far away.
After entering the city, you can't see it, probably because the terrain is relatively low.
There would not be many people in a place where it snowed all year round, and there was no place to stay after so many adventurers and imperial troops came at once. Fortunately, the army had the help of the city wall guards, and it was said that if you didn't rush to the dwarven kingdom, you could rest in the barracks.
As for the adventurers.
If you don't have a place to live, you can solve it yourself.
After separating from the circus procession, Lias took Anwenna to several places in a row, and they were all full.
There were so many people that even the owner of the tavern had never seen so many people.
"I've been in business in this city for half my life, and I've never seen so many people...... You must know that most of the people in the north are the families of local soldiers, because they are guarded on the city wall all the year round, so they slowly settle their homes here, and then there are merchants who come and go to do business, and a small number of local aborigines. ”
It's getting late, and if you can't find a place to live, you can't live outside.
"And there are no other taverns around here?"
"Or you can look for a local residential house, it's a chance to make money, and if you're willing to pay a little more, they'll let you live in it, limited in condition, but at least it's warm." The tavern owner said.
Going out, Lias asked Awenna and Wang Chu what they thought.
Now, even if you go to a resident's house, it is estimated that the owner will tell us as well, and of course he will tell others.
"So what do we do?"
Wang Chu thought for a moment.
Originally, it was my plan to take my time, hoping that the army or other adventurers would open the way first, but I thought of it, but I actually missed the life, and there were more people than I imagined.
"Let's go straight to the dwarven kingdom and walk a little longer while it's still dark. Wang Chu said.
Lias and Anwenna agreed.
The city in the north has almost no city defense, which surprised Wang Chu, all the troops and concentration in the north are placed outside the city walls, and there are not many people in the city in the first place, but their lives are very free.
Business here is so much worse than anywhere else, and there are hardly any people at night.
Frost and snow occasionally appear in the corners on both sides of the road, and there is only the laughter of drinking and chatting in the tavern, and people love to drink in cold places, because it can maintain the temperature, but also because of frequent drinking, life here is either awake or drunk, very monotonous, and the pace of life is very slow.
After asking the locals for directions, Lias left the city with the two of them without much stop.
It's not too late.
Next up the hill is the road...... In fact, after entering the northern border, Wang Chu also obviously felt that the terrain here was much higher than the south, and before he knew it, he could no longer see the wilderness, and the mountain peaks were getting higher and higher, and there was a feeling that it was like the territory of Hajar City.
Along the way, there is no frost and snow, and you can see traces of snow covering the top of the highest peaks.
I don't think I can go far tonight.
As the sky gets darker, the trail becomes more and more difficult to walk......
"Shhhhhh She also couldn't wear the hood she had been hiding all the time.
"Yes?"
Lias paused to listen carefully.
"Yes, listen to it again. ”
Wang Chu also looked around, everything was calm.
But one thing is different, and this feeling has only come in recent months...... The wind, the power of the elements can actually be felt by themselves, especially their active emotions, the wind is in a hurry, which means that someone is indeed coming.
"There are really people, and a lot of people. ”
Anwenna repeated her words.
Lias looked behind her, but she didn't see ......
"Either we should go somewhere, go up, it's better than stay here and wait for them to appear, I don't know who is coming. ”
The three of them walked on the road on the mountain at this time, which was considered a national highway, much wider than the ordinary mountain road, like a road surface that had been directly blasted with gunpowder, and there were mountains and rocks on both sides.
Lias, on the other hand, pointed to the slightly denser woods on the side.
It's getting darker now, and no one will find out if you hide in those places.
Avenna is an elf, as long as it is not on the sea or in the sky, any object that can be touched with her hands and feet, she can jump up two or three times, as for Wang Chu, it is simpler, the raven flies up and then turns into a werewolf to grab Avenna's arm.
"You go down a little bit, grab Lias, and I'll pull you up. ”
Anwenna nodded, pulling Rias up as she had said.
It was getting dark, and the distant voices were starting to get closer.
"Don't make a sound, it seems to be a team. ”
The pace is chaotic.
Since the arrival of the dwarven kingdom, horses have not been used, so Wang Chu and the others have also changed to walking.
Gradually walked in, and sure enough, it was a unit.
"What kind of clothes are they wearing, I've never seen troops like this. "Lias has been the commander of the empire and knows a little about the armies of various countries, but the team in front of her really can't see it.
Most of them were gray-black thick clothes, some with hats, others without them, led by two middle-aged men with a girl in the middle.
There were about a few thousand people along the way, at least more than a thousand, Wang Chu thought.
"They don't look like human armies at all. Even Anwenna could see the sloppiness of the people below, and even though the marching pace of the army was different, the formation was very uniform, which was also a sign of discipline.
"I see, they're mercenaries. ”
"Mercena?" asked Avenna, looking at Lias.
"Well, mercenaries are usually solicited from outside sources only when there is a shortage of temporary conveners......"
Wang Chu's gaze always stayed on the three people led by him.
Understaffed?
But it may also be that mercenaries are needed when cannon fodder is needed, Wang Chu found that the three of them were surrounded by strong elemental power, and it was rare to see that the elements had such a strong affinity, which was completely different from magicians, even when they met the great speller, they had never seen such a scene.
But these people are too young.
Is it a higher rank than the Grand Speller?
Wang Chu immediately denied this idea, and at the same time, the three of them were still so young, what kind of lineup was that.
Hiss~ However, in addition to the Great Speller, he has also encountered a profession with a strong elemental affinity before.
Shaman.
Are there shamans among humans?
"We can't go now, it's getting late today, let's find a place to rest, it's easy to be spotted if you keep up. Wang Chu said to the two.
"Then let's go over there, I saw a brown bear passing by just now, it must be its burrow, let's go talk to it!" said Anwenna, pointing to the woods in the other direction.
Ahh
