ps: He's gone......

A few days later, on the western border of Cormier, the Storm Horn Mountains.

Located to the west of Cormier, the Stormhorn Mountains are generally considered to be the border of Cormier, with steep and massive peaks separating Cormier from its western border, and the majestic peaks of the moat have helped the kingdom resist almost all possible invasions from the west, as well as the direction of the kingdom's expansion in the west.

"Some people think that if it weren't for the Stormhorn Mountains, Cormier might have conquered Sword Bay, but some people think that if it weren't for the Stormhorn Mountains, Cormier might have been gone."

———— opinion expressed by the Cormier scholars

There are only two places in the mountain range that are relatively easy to navigate, the High Horn Pass and the Gnoll Pass, and the Purple Dragon Kingdom has established garrison castles at each pass to protect caravans, collect taxes, and guard against possible invasions by outside powers.

There are a large number of orc tribes in the Stormhorn Mountains that are at war with Cormier, and there are also some more primitive human tribes that are friends and foes with Cormier, many of whom trade ores, hides, and meat for spirits, grain, and gold, but they also often attack passing caravans.

Dressed in a brown cloak, Aaron walks through the desolate mountain trails, leading his traveling horse "Pearl" through the foothills of the Stormhorn Mountains, where in late autumn the forests are dyed and the leaves are flying into the air, and the villages on the flat ground are surrounded by freshly harvested farmland, where the farmers enjoy the joy of the harvest and begin to dry their hides and slaughter their livestock in preparation for the winter.

It must be said that although the regent was dictatorial and autocratic, which caused displeasure among the nobles and townspeople, she was very good to the peasants, and this year could at least have a good year, due to the large number of nobles who died in the goblin wars, many commoners were able to resume their status as yeoman farmers and farm their own land.

Aaron could clearly see his destination, the Cape Storm Mountains, which were still far away from him, and from the foot of the mountains, it looked like red clouds in white hats.

After becoming a knight of the Inner Court, Aaron's negotiations with Fujar yielded even better results - the Dwarven Artisan was forced to change his mind considering Aaron's promising future, the sudden explosion of power in his hands, and the "persuasion" mixed with threats.

The snake man's snake skin and snake scales are divided into three or seven accounts, and the commission of the dragon's skin armor is refunded in full.

And it is divided into not dwarf seven Aaron three, but dwarf Sansan lun seven.

Fujar only set a "death number", that is, Aaron could not give him less than three snake-haters and snake scales, and Aaron agreed to this request, and the two parties signed a contract in front of the idol of the dwarven god-king Moradin.

He decided to come to the snake ruins anyway.

After these months of activity, Aaron is now extremely sure that taking risks is the best way to increase his strength, and taking risks is also the easiest way to obtain wealth and adventure, and if he is in Susar every day, his strength will increase very slowly.

Of course, the snake man ruins are very, very dangerous, and no one knows if there will be a witch of the Saruk witch inside, but the dwarven craftsman has sworn that Aaron can barely trust him once, and according to the dwarves, although this information is currently known only to the dwarves, but it will not be their exclusive for so long, if Aaron does not go, maybe other adventure teams will soon find out.

….

Moreover, Aaron also thought about one thing - last time he troubled Slaanesh once, is this time going to offer a little sacrifice to his good brother?

It's a pity that the courage to face the old ruler last time failed to unlock the power of fear and abuse.

Aaron's conjecture is this: Fear and sadism never ask where the blood comes from, but only if it is Aaron's own hand, and the confrontation against the old ruler is the incarnation of Slaanesh, and it is not Aaron's business.

Moreover, the more you get close to Saanesh, the easier it is to please the disgust of Sashak, and the more difficult it will be to unlock the power of Salasin.

"Hey, Lord Salian?"

A playful voice reminded him that behind the knight of the Inner Court and Viscount Sarian was an amber boy in an overcoat and high boots

Ren and the woman with long blood-red hair, she walked at the foot of the mountain very easily: "If you want me to say, you are quite famous! Yes? Goblin Slayer?"

The tall female wanderer is called Eleunora, and is introduced as a companion by harpist Samir Morningstar.

Aaron didn't call Eleanor on this trip, as it would be a very dangerous adventure, and he needed not a turret or a strong melee fighter, but a wanderer who could provide covert scouting.

He approached Samir Morningstar to introduce him to a powerful wanderer, who Samir introduced to Elunora, who according to him, was a follower of the fallen goddess of phantoms, Laira, who was forced to join the Harperists' League after Lara was killed by Ciric.

"We may not have the luck, boy." The female wanderer Elunora seemed to be always in high spirits, and she easily made out the footprints on the road: "Hmm~ There are quite a few people who walk this path."

"A group of merchants, thirty or fifty men, using wagons and pack horses, and some armed guards."

"A group of guards, less than twenty men, riding on military horses and heavily armed."

"There is also a group of adventurers, about a dozen people, not good at stubble, some wearing heavy armor."

"A lone druyin, oh, we'd better stay away from him."

Aaron was reluctant at first when Samir introduced the female wanderer to help, Elunora was a female wanderer from a chaotic neutral camp who had always been willing to do what he wanted, but now Aaron was happy to accept it.

This tall female half-elf has a wealth of tracking knowledge and the sharpest senses Aaron has ever seen. Considering the tasks assigned to him, the knights of the inner court were indeed in great need of such help.

"Why War Horse?" Aaron also stopped, checking the trail on the road.

"The war horse walks fast, the pack horse walks slowly, the war horse walks messily, the pack horse walks neatly, the war horse walks at a big pace, and the pack horse walks at a small pace." The female wanderer flaunts her scouting skills, "Do you want to learn, Goblin Slayer?"

"I see." Aaron nodded.

He envied the detective abilities of the female loiter, just as the female loiterer envied his fame.

Susar's rookie now has a new nickname called "Goblin Slayer", a nickname mainly from his last feat of killing the goblin Adan Hammer in three people, and after two months, Aaron's name began to spread around Cormier, earning him the nickname "Goblin Slayer" as the protagonist of the story in the official narrative.

….

Goblins are goblins, the former being transliteration, and the latter being paraphrasing.

Obviously, news in the realm is not spreading as fast as Aaron's previous life, and now the realm and even most of Cormier have not heard of him summoning the incarnation of the gods to repel the incarnation of the old ruler, and now his name has just spread along with the destruction of the goblin camp.

Even so, Aaron is quite famous in Cormier, and it can be seen that the female wanderer is very envious of his fame, and at the same time envies his deterrent.

These border areas are often patrolled by Cormier troops, and if they see any strangers, they are treated as "Santarin spies", often with endless trouble.

However, in the face of Aaron Salion, who is a knight of the Inner Court, and the royal coat of arms of Obeszir on his chest, all the patrolling troops can only obediently dismount and salute.

The Wandererwoman Elunora was also very interested in this system of dignity and inferiority.

Yes, she is not envious, nor is she jealous or eager to replace it, she is simply interested, as if she has seen something new that she has been looking forward to for a long time, and finally has the opportunity to contact it, and she must experience it for herself.

"Lonely Druyin?" Aaron frowned.

Historically, a solitary druyin has been the source of a series of troubles, because when a druyin decides to go alone, then he often has some major mission to complete.

For Drein, the big mission is often to represent "mortal nature", the so-called "wrath of nature".

Aaron has always believed in the saying that "people can never understand each other", so even though the lone Druyin and he are in the same neutral and good camp, the probability of conflict between the two sides is still very high.

He's here to take risks, not to fight!

"Speed up."

"Okay~"

"Oiling the soles of the feet", "Striding and running", "Featherfall"

Since he planned to speed up, Aaron no longer saved his mana, he raised his hand and cast a few small spells on himself and Elunor, respectively, and quickly disappeared into the mountains with the figure of the female wanderer.

…………

At the same time, not far from where Aaron and the others had disappeared, a Druyin, who was as strong as a giant bear, was divining by burning the internal organs of animals.

The weather was getting colder, but the Druyin was still half naked, his sharp black eyes reflected the information brought by the divination of animal viscera, and his height of more than two meters made him look like an iron tower, his body was full of strong muscles, a long necklace hung with many miscellaneous items, and a long staff made of oak wood was inlaid with a skull.

Breathing deeply into the air of the flames, Druyin felt the will of the Father of the Oak Tree.

Yes, that's right, in the depths of the Cape Storm Mountains, there are hidden relics of the Serpent Empire, which is about to see the light of day.

Sorry, Father of the Great Oak, your faithful servant, Rhodok the Earthwalker, had to make such a decision.

Cormier's humanity is just too arrogant!

Look at them, what have they been doing in this sacred forest for hundreds of years?!

Cormier was once known as the Kingdom of the Forest! The forests here are dense and thriving, and the shade is everywhere, exuding life!

….

However, after obtaining this treasure land, humanity committed the worst crime against the forest!

Today, Komir's forests are only one-third of what they were when they were founded, and the green land has been swallowed up by the yellow wilderness, and a large amount of fragile farmland has replaced the positive cycle of forests.

What a stupid and short-sighted human being, it's time for you to see the wrath of nature again!

Druyin thought hatefully.

In recent years, there have been more and more frequent conflicts between extremists and mortal realms in the Druyin Church, for example, in Cormier, due to the gradual deforestation of the entire territory, the Great Forest that once covered the entire territory is now only two forest areas, the King's Forest and the Hurek Forest, and humans have also built roads and outposts to cut the original forest into one piece after another.

The clash of civilizations and nature is an eternal theme in the kingdom.

But Rhodok the Earthwalker couldn't take it anymore and decided to give the Cormis a little color to show them the cost of offending the forest.

Unfortunately, most of the Druyin in the Sivanus Church in Morningstar disagree with him.

He is not good at confronting Cormier directly, and the frequent conflicts between the Church of Nature and the mortal realm have caused many people to disagree.

Then wake up the snake people!

Snake people know how to protect nature better than you humans!

Raising his staff, Druyin's tower-like figure rose from the wilderness, and he suddenly roared, startling a large number of birds around him, turning into a giant bear with a body length of more than 3 meters, galloping towards the Cape Storm Mountains.

…………

On the west side of the Cape of Storm Mountains, a group of orcs is also coming.

The leader was dressed in half-body armor, with a two-handed knife behind his back, and his black hair was tied into a pigtail, his slightly green skin was covered with scars, and the two sharp fangs in his mouth were exposed.

Clearly, he was a half-orc.

He was joined by orcs and goblins, and of course the most orcs, a group of about a dozen people, carrying bags.

"Doherty." An orc called out the name of the leading orc, "Are you sure we can find something to extend the life of Chief Haug?"

"I'm not sure." The strong orc said sullenly.

There was a flurry of voices in the ranks

Grumbling.

"But if we don't come, there's absolutely no chance."

The whining in the ranks immediately subsided.

"It's a last resort." The orcs looked at the mountains of Storm Point in the distance, "Even if we don't find anything in the end, we can pay our last respects to Chief Haug with a battle, a fight, and a great sacrifice!"

The ranks became agitated.

Scarring, being strong, fighting, winning.

Geush looked at us.

For blood and glory!

In this way, three groups of people, in three directions, at the same time headed towards the ruins of the Snake Man Empire.

However, Aaron, who had mastered the exact location, was far faster than Druyin and the orcs, who were still groping in the mountains.

Following the marks made by the dwarven craftsmen, he found a serpentine mark on the rock wall, took out a stone that Fogjar had given him and pasted it on the rock wall, and the solid stone immediately turned into mud with the light.

….

An unfathomable cavern is exposed to Aaron and the female wanderer.

"Lady Elu." Aaron nodded calmly, and he immediately unleashed a detection magic around him, and after making sure there were no enemies, he turned his gaze to the female wanderer: "Please."

Dark Vision! Aaron also cast a spell on himself with "Dark Vision".

"Got it." The female wanderer expertly drew two daggers from her thighs and stepped into the darkness.

The cave was pitch black, and as the two men entered the cave one after the other, the passage behind them also closed.

After groping their way forward in the dark, about a hundred meters away, a pyramid of the Snake Man Empire carved with a boulder appeared in front of the two of them.

Two dwarven corpses appeared at the gate of the pyramid.

"These two corpses are still fresh!" The female wanderer licked her lips and said with some interest, "Wait, Lord Salian, didn't you say this is your exclusive message?"

"Yes, because as long as a person dies, the news is naturally the exclusive news." Aaron's icy gaze shifted to the female wanderer.

In an instant, the female wanderer felt that there was a huge strange bird behind Aaron, and it was spreading its wings to look at her with a suspicious female deceitful gaze, her whole body was cold, and her originally very confident smile turned into an embarrassed smile: "Say, that's right."

Companions in the chaotic neutral camp are very unreliable and must be beaten at all times.

"Listen to me, or we'll all die inside." Aaron's eyes narrowed, and his emotionless heart turned ninety-nine plans in an instant.

Let the plan begin.

Praise be to the Holy Maiden Gucci!

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty
