Nord Collar, Middenheim, the city of the White Wolf.

Located on a plateau to the north of the Empire, it is a massive city full of spiral stairs and minarets, built on high cliffs. Its four embankment bridges span towering cliffs and connect access to the empire's territory. It's winter, and snow covers most of the plateau, but there's no way to quench someone's burning spirit.

"This is another world! Another city in another world! It's amazing!

”

Looking at the city in front of her, Ann was about to jump up with excitement, in fact, when she was taken to the space station by Duanmu Huai, Her Royal Highness the princess had been in high spirits, excited like Alaska who was going to have fun in the snow. By the time they left the space station in a gunboat, entered the atmosphere, and made their way to the northern part of the empire, Her Royal Highness was so excited that she was almost unable to find the north. After all, it was the first time for her to experience how to travel through a planet, and even Ann was very excited to ask Duanmu Huai if their world was also a giant ball.

Well......... Although I'm sorry for Ann, the world of soul fragments is indeed flat at present, maybe enough soul fragments can be converted into planets after collecting in the later stage, but now......... It's really flat.

Of course, at the beginning, An also had an awkward quarrel with Duanmu Huai, because Gu Leiya couldn't come with her.

There is no way to do this, after all, Greya's human characteristics are too obvious, and it may be easy to say in other places, but in this world, if she comes, she will definitely be killed by witch hunters and the like as beastmen, not to mention the organizations and forces that believe in evil gods......... That's even more troublesome.

So in the end, Duanmu Huai decided to divide the army, and let Lorena take the two dragons, Gurea and Firin, to the Holy City, while he took Ann and Ogis to Middenheim.

Originally, Ann was still 10,000 reluctant to do this, but in the end, Gu Leiya persuaded her, saying that she would come back to share her travel experience, and Ann finally nodded and agreed.

Now looking at her happy appearance, the previous unhappiness has obviously flown to the clouds.

"Don't forget what I told you."

Duanmu Huai grabbed Ann's shoulder, then stared at her again and spoke.

"No magic, no meddling, not even good deeds, this world is far worse than you can imagine, compared to the filthy things here, Fafe is an angel. So, be careful, be cautious, you don't want Gurella to worry about you. ”

"Hmm......... I know. ”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, An also calmed her head, and on the way here, Duanmu Huai also gave her a science about the situation in this world and the situation of the mages in this world. also let An know that this world is not as peaceful and kind as the world he is in, originally to be honest, Duanmu Huai didn't plan to bring An, but ......... Who said that An's talent as a mage is too good, and Duanmu Huai really lacks the assistance of a mage?

That's why he's here with Ann and Ogis.

As for the remaining members of the war group, Fia was sent to see her home by Duanmu Huai because she was too unstable. And Meletti also returned to the Holy City with Lorena to report.

He was the only one who came here with Ann and Ogis.

This city of white wolves.

As the Empire's front line against Chaos, Middenheim is one of the few cities in the Empire dominated by the Church of Ulric. Yurick is the god of winter, war and the white wolf. Before the establishment of the Empire, it was once the most important god believed by mankind.

The followers of Ulric are brave and self-reliant, and look down on the Sigma believers who like to play tricks like a. To the Ulric, Sigmar followers are more of a weak and incompetent waste who likes to make excuses.

And Middenheim City also shows the wildness, bravery and perseverance of the Ulric believers. Just by walking into the city gate and looking at the stone building in front of you, which looks simple and full of perseverance, you can feel the bravery and spirit from the god of the white wolf.

Especially when compared to Aldolf, which is full of exquisite and luxurious buildings, the gap between the two is even greater. If Aldolf is a work of art that looks like it has been carved by a craftsman, then Middenheim is more like a masterpiece of nature. It doesn't need any decoration, it doesn't need any polishing, just being there is enough to show a wild sense of oppression.

Middenheim is tall, but Duanmu Huai's figure is even taller, he carries a war hammer, striding down the street, pedestrians on both sides are throwing him or surprised or surprised looks——— of course, no one who does not have long eyes come up to find death, after all, the set of power armor with hideous and terrifying shapes on Duanmu Huai's body, coupled with his strong figure, is already equivalent to the best representative of "danger level max".

If anyone dares to come up and look for trouble, it is either blind or mentally retarded.

Oaks and Ann were cloaked and followed behind Duanmu Huai, especially Ann, who was now looking curiously at the crowds and buildings around them with wide round eyes. Although Manalia seems to be a medieval magical country on the surface, it has basically entered the era of the magical industrial revolution. Therefore, looking at Middenheim feels like a person from the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century traveling back to the 14th century, full of curiosity and freshness.

"Mr. Knight, where are we going now?"

In the face of Ann's curious inquiry, Duanmu Huai gave an answer.

"First of all, as with the opening of all adventures, we're going to the tavern."

As Duanmu Huai said, most of the adventure legends start in a tavern.

Inside, dimly lit oil lamps, drunken guests waving bottles, and even the occasional drunken brawl in the corner. Scantily clad waitress held wine glasses aloft and surrounded the flattery of her guests, serving them glass after glass of inferior beer. The whole tavern was noisy and noisy, and with the help of this irritating noise, some people were also quietly passing on some conspiracies and tricks, and even some information.

"I don't know what you want, warrior."

The bartender standing behind the cabinet looked at Duanmu Huai in front of him, sighed silently, and put a glass of wine in front of him. He turned his head and looked away as much as he could, not looking at Duanmu Huai's face——— the dim candle flame could only reflect the lower half of Duanmu Huai's face, but this looked even more terrifying.

"Frankly, the timing of your arrival is not good, it's winter. The beastmen of the forest have returned to their filthy lairs, curled up like bears to rest. Perhaps, of course, they are brewing their next offensive? But not now, I have heard that the sheriff is swearing to try to put Midenheim in order and destroy the lowly kings once and for all, but I don't advise you to wade into these troubled waters, after all, it is very likely that he will fall somewhere in the unknown place at some point, and Middenheim will be here anyway. ”

"But there's always something to buy."

Duanmu Huai fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, which was as small as a toy in his hand, and sat beside him, staring at the conversation between him and the bartender like a curious child, as if he were entering the opening scene of an adventure, full of excitement and excitement.

"I am a warrior, and I desire blood, battle, and glory. We didn't just come here to enjoy the beauty of Middenheim, although it's a beautiful city. ”

"It's certainly a beautiful city."

No one doesn't like to hear praise from others about their hometown, and the bartender smiled and softened his face a lot.

"I can tell that you are a brave, tenacious, tough fighter. You can be a guest of honour for some people if you wish. Maybe when the cursed Chaos barbarians of the north attack, you'll be able to screw off their heads and smash them into meat sauce to declare your might. But it's a pity .........."

With that, the bartender spread his hands.

"I really don't have any special news."

"Okay, I got it."

Duanmu Huai nodded and didn't say anything, after all, this is not a game, and he doesn't expect to get the main quest as soon as he comes......... Well, that's what I said, but .........

"How about a conversation with me, if you can, this warrior?"

At this moment, suddenly a voice came from Duanmu Huai's side, and he turned his head to see a wandering adventurer with long hair and a long sword in his hand, smiling and looking at him.

"If you're hungry for battle and blood, then we might be able to work together."
