Chapter 55: The City

The castle in the sun is pure white like a fairyland.

Centuries of darkness were pierced by the sunlight shining through the window, the everlasting candle was extinguished, and Brunhilde stood in the sunlight with a hand raised, as if to hold it in his hand.

"Really...... Glare. ”

The baron let out a long sigh.

"You're free. ”

A complicated smile appeared on Valkyrie's face, but she didn't say anything.

"We'll leave after lunch, do you want to go together?"

Arthur rushed into the hall through the side door, and then gave the Baron and Valkyrie a perfect smile.

"I want to drink beer. ”

"There was no beer in the cellar of the castle. ”

Four guests sat on either side of the long table, and the Valkyrie sat in the host's seat.

It was a hearty lunch, and everyone forgot about the long past and the distant future for a while, and focused on the food in front of them.

The Esyad people cook in a relatively monotonous way, but the castle owner's collection is extraordinary, and everyone feasts on it to their heart's content.

Then lunch was over.

"Let's go. ”

There were no people here who were used to taking a leisurely walk after dinner, so they set off directly.

Leaving the glorious main hall, out of the pure and beautiful castle, walking past the dead branches and leaves left by the withered bushes, standing on the boulder of the hillside, they looked back at the castle in the sun for the last time.

"Are you going to leave the castle to the baron?"

"Nope. ”

The Valkyrie raised her hand to the distant castle and used her finger to write a few runi words in the void.

"This is the territory of the Esyads, and if the Esyads are extinct, let it remain in the uninhabited wilderness. ”

A powerful magical power appeared out of thin air, and then in the eyes of several people, the castle disappeared out of thin air.

Brunhilde put down his hand and turned to face Magellan: "Now, tell me, where do you want to go?"

"Esyad's Divine Domain. ”

"It's a pity," the Valkyrie shook her head, "there are still no Heroic Spirits here that are strong enough to enter Valhalla, and I can't take you there directly. ”

"I know," Magellan said, taking the big book from his bosom, "so we walked." ”

Flipping through the book, Brünnhilde, a Valkyrie, could see the contents without an eye patch.

"We are now at Swan Castle, and from here we can return to the area where the Esyad people live, and according to the migration route recorded in the book, our next destination is to escape from the valley of snow and ice, what Schmidt calls the valley of the south wind. ”

"The problem is," Professor Granger already knows the Schmidt family's migration route, "we don't know where that southwind valley is. ”

"I know where it is. ”

Valkyrie had a look of remembrance on her face.

"That's where I need your help. ”

They climbed over the hills and returned to the city the next morning.

In Wolf Castle, the group got on the carriage to the north, and after a day of shaking, they came to a new foothold.

A real city.

Unlike the previous cities with castles as the core and markets sprawling haphazardly outside the city, this is a city that has experienced the baptism of essence and steam, the city sits on the riverside of the plain, and the houses of the residents are neatly arranged, with high chimneys rising from factories in the middle.

From here, the land of the Holy Loren Empire officially left the mountains, and the rivers flowed through a plain, and the vast fields were rich and fertile, which was the greatest reliance of the Holy Loren Empire against the king of the world.

"What is this?"

The baron and the Valkyrie had never seen such a city, and even in the wildest dreams, they did not think that people now live in such a place.

"The city, this should be the direct domain of the Archduke of Austria, he is one of the Electors, this city is one of the most beautiful cities in the Holy Loren Empire, we can stop here for a while. ”

Magellan has something to prepare, Professor Granger has several papers to send out in a hurry, and Arthur has done everything he planned to do, and he is here to find his next assignment.

The Baron and Valkyrie were temporarily idle, and in order to prevent Brünnhilde from having an accident in an unfamiliar place, Magellan asked the two to remember to act together when they went out.

The baron complained about this, and of course he would not see anything in the city, and the pastime that the knight arranged for himself was to find a large tavern, order the best beers, and drink them from morning till night. And if the Valkyrie is around, it would be too rude to do so.

Brunhilde was noncommittal, and in the end the baron reluctantly decided to give half of his time to the Valkyrie, and if she wanted to go out and see, he would follow.

And the Valkyrie walked out of the hotel where she had settled in the afternoon.

The Baron and Arthur followed.

"Where do you want to see, ma'am?"

Arthur's smile was as bright as ever, he wasn't familiar with the city, but the people on the streets gave him confidence.

"You can call me Brünnhilde," said the Valkyrie, dressed in an elegant, simple gown, which was already the least flashy of Brünnhilde's clothes, but still showy, "I'm just looking for something familiar." ”

"What is it?"

Arthur had a bad feeling that this was a city that had just been washed away by a wave, and that there were very few things from hundreds of years ago that remained, and that the Valkyrie would have to walk the streets for a whole day.

"Ah, here it is. ”

Brünnhilde stopped in front of a tavern.

Both Baron and Arthur laughed.

It's an outbuilding of the Explorers' Guild, where savvy operators serve drinks in the halls, while those who aren't interested in expeditions can head to the tavern next door for a drink.

The Valkyrie walked into the tavern and attracted several glances, which attracted anyone who saw her, after all, Brunhilde was both a Valkyrie and a noble lady.

Then she asked for "the strongest liquor in this tavern" at the counter.

The Baron and Arthur stopped the drunkard who wanted to come up, and watched helplessly as Brunhilde drank the liquor in a heroic gulp.

"One more drink. ”

Then everyone in the tavern watched in amazement as Valkyrie drank a dozen glasses of spirits in one go and remained non-functional, and finally threw down a few gold coins and left.

"Really...... Impressive. ”

During the Valkyrie's performance, the Baron couldn't resist asking for beer, but he didn't drink too much, for anyone who drank looked weak and shameful compared to Brünnhilde.

"What are those people doing there?"

As soon as she walked out of the tavern, the Valkyrie showed interest in something else, and that was the Explorers' Guild, and quite a few people were gathering in the hall.

"Take the task, complete the money and get it. ”
