Wilhelm, the World Island, the Land of Origin...... The continent of Allen has various names for the center of this continent.

But don't be deceived by its name "island", it's actually a continent surrounded by the Obiris Strait. It's smaller than the Allen Continent, but not much smaller......

It took fifteen days for merchant ships to cross half of the Obiris Strait to dock temporarily at Maple Island, the outermost part of Wilhelm. The captain respectfully came to the first class cabin and informed Annan that the merchant ship would anchor at Maple Leaf Island for three hours.

Annan planned to go to the island to have a look.

He and Klein and Lemon came to the deck, and the first thing they saw was the city in the sky. The distant floating city seen in Liberty City is like a hot air balloon at this moment, looming dreamily in the sky.

A white waterfall cascades from the mountains of the Floating City, turning into a silver ribbon that dances into a brilliant rainbow.

That's why the locals call it Rainbow City.

Annan will not be jealous. A warrior will be jealous of a powerful mage, but a mage will only look forward to a powerful mage.

"Liberty City will be more beautiful in the future." Annan said softly.

Klein was silent, better than a bubbling lemon.

Stepping into the port, Annan found a dwarf guide. Klein said he was still a thief, after all, one job could not support himself.

"Maple Island is a place with simple people." The dwarf said.

Then a local resident grabbed the sailor's collar and spat: "This is Wilhelm, the center of the world, don't bring those country ills here!" ”

"Uh...... They are both inferior and arrogant - the locals consider themselves Wilhelm people, but they can't hold their heads up in front of real Wilhelm people.

The complaint in his tone made Annan guess that he had been arrested by the Maple Island guards.

"Where's the maple leaf?"

Wilhelm is evergreen, but all Annan sees are oak trees and some dwarf trees endemic to the south.

"That was a long time ago, and now there is a maple heart in the heart of the island."

"The Heart of Maple Leaves?"

"It's the ancestor of all maple leaves. This is Wilhelm, where everything began, and where the maple leaf originated. As a result, the elf guide brought local pride with him.

Annan thinks he's bragging, but plans to see for himself.

The first rule of the thief's manual is not that everything can be stolen, but that you should not mess with people you can't afford to mess with.

With an eternal element, following an elite heavily armored knight, Annan, who looks like an elf, is clearly among them. So the thieves had clean hands and feet and came to the center of Maple Leaf Island.

The huge maple tree stood on the black earth, its height to be looked up, its leaves bright like fire, dancing beautifully with the breeze.

Annan suddenly quietly took out the leaves of the World Tree, which was emitting a hazy halo.

At least the Heart of the Maple Tree does have something to do with the World Tree. As he thought so, a leaf fell, landing right on Annan's outstretched palm.

Is this a gift?

Annan thought of it, and put it with the leaves of the World Tree.

The elf guide also withdrew his gaze. "Is there any other place to visit Maple Island?" Annan asked him.

"Uh...... In the tavern, you should try the maple syrup, a specialty here! ”

On the way back, they meet elves, and it seems that they also go to see the heart of the maple leaf.

Annan was surprised, but the dwarf guide was taken aback. He saw with his own eyes that the elf took the initiative to signal to Annan...... These arrogant guys are not so polite to the owner!

"Do you know about magical images?"

The elf guide came back from shock: "What is that?" ”

"Nothing."

It seems that the magical image has not yet crossed the strait, and even Wilhelm is a pure land.

The target of Annan's trip was the south. Wilhelm ...... Let's save it until the future when you form an alliance with the Elven Court.

When you come to the tavern on the edge of the harbor, there is a lot of hustle and bustle.

Annan's arrival made the tavern quiet for a moment, and countless eyes looked at Annan's face, and only moved away after seeing Klein and Lemon next to him.

There are no succubi, and the girl looks just plain beautiful, far worse than Liberty City's.

Annan motioned to Klein, and when she refused, she asked for a glass of maple syrup.

The only waitress came over shyly, and Annan thanked him and ran back with a blushing face.

Maple syrup is supposed to be fermented with maple syrup, which is more like honey than wine...... But it was too sweet, so Annan poured lemons.

The darker maple wine surged back and forth in the lemon's chest, and it seemed that it liked it.

Annan then focused on the conversations of the other guests—which is the pleasure of the tavern—Annan's experience.

"I, Wilhelm, you damned hillbilly, orc slave, vampire pig, how dare you pepper my steak! Not even the uncivilized Tatun Empire would do that! ”

The guest on the left was roaring, and Annan thought it was at least a no-cast three-ring taunt.

"We fucking got off the rotten ship, waded through the fucking swamp, and found fucking treasure chests in fucking caves! There's only a fucking parchment roll in there!! ”

"That's the new treasure?"

"That's a fucking saying, saying that having a fucking treasure chest doesn't mean having a treasure!"

The guest on the right is also roaring.

At this time, someone finally had the courage to find trouble with Annan.

It was a sturdy female warrior with exposed abdominal muscles, and she stared at Annan with fiery eyes undisguised: "Do you have a wife?" ”

"Nope."

"Now you have."

As she spoke, she grabbed Annan, but Klein easily blocked her and drove her out of the tavern.

Klein's back is reassuring.

The reason why Editilia and their reassurance about Annan's long trip is very simple: on the surface, there are three elites, but in fact, Annan also has the entire Liberty City, two epics, and a legend on top of a legend.

"Let's go back."

Annan said, as if the ship was about to sail.

Coming out of the noisy tavern, the merchant ships in the harbor just sounded the cries before departure. There was a raccoon lying on the barrel at the entrance of the tavern, and Annan touched it as he passed by.

As a result, the raccoon suddenly screamed, jumped to the ground and fled into the distance: "Help! Help me! Someone insulted me!! ”

The short guide in front turned around and suddenly changed color: "Let's go!" It's going to call the guards! ”

Annan and the others ran to the port for some unknown reason. Not long after, a group of guards appeared outside the tavern.

Running back to the port, Annan jumped on the merchant ship that was ready to depart. In the distance, the raccoon and the guards were approaching with a noise, and the raccoon was screaming, "That guy touched my ass several times!" ”

Klein told the captain to hurry to sail, and Annan took a coin from the magic ring and threw it to the dwarf guide beside the boat.

The thief who caught the coin nimbly hid in a dark corner, examining what he had found - the ordinary copper coin made the smile disappear from his face.

"Damn misers, curse you to be captured by vampires as blood slaves!"

The scolding could not be reached by the merchant ships that were gradually moving away from the chaos.

It seems that this place is not very welcoming to them, and hopefully the south will be better than Wilhelm......
