Chapter 100: Bern 2
On the fourth day after the departure from the city of Hiawatha, the place where the convoy passed was no longer pure plains, and as far as the eye could see, there were rolling hills, on both sides of gray and bare rocky mountains, and the vegetation seemed very sparse, as precious as the hairs on the bald head.
The wind in the valley became stronger, and with a strong whistling sound, it crashed head-on into the convoy, bringing with it a large amount of gravel, which hit the car with a continuous sound.
The cavalrymen were on either side of the convoy, all dressed in gray cloaks, hunched over their horses, the hem of their cloaks rattled by the strong winds.
The horsemen who drove also put on their cloaks and veils to keep out the pervasive wind and sand.
However, it is worth admiring that in this environment, the road traveled by the convoy was surprisingly good, the stone road that was large enough for four large carriages to run in parallel was in very good condition, and every section of the road you could see a group of small stone houses standing on the side of the road, which could not only provide rest and food, but also carry out certain carriage repair services, of course, all of which required a certain amount of money, but for the caravan it was worth it, far better than the previous road barriers and forced fees.
Date pulled open the baffle of the front window of the carriage and shouted a few times into the carriage, but it was completely muffled by the whining of the wind, and he simply made a gesture to Gehr, motioning for Gehr to point forward and upward.
Gehr stuck his head in front of the front window of the carriage and looked in the direction of his finger. In front of the mountain road, there is a gray-white stone road sloping towards the mountain, like a gray snake with no head in sight, lying quietly on the surface of the mountain, winding and twisting, until it extends to the depths of the mountains.
The wind blew so hard that Geer had to squint slightly, and looked left and right, and on both sides were mountains with no tops in sight, and bare gray-brown rocks everywhere.
In the direction Ida was pointing, Gehr saw a section of the building peeking out of the fog behind the mountain, because of the distance, the building in the field of vision was extraordinarily small, with a black-pointed dome, and the dense fire on the building could be faintly seen, like the legendary sword of Morphoros that pierced the sky.
"It was the Kefilo Palace in Bern, the highest place in Bern and the residence of the royal family. Lucarine leaned into Gehr's ear and cried out loudly.
Gehr nodded in understanding.
If Bern is the heart of the Principality of Hysting, then the Caveol Palace is the soul of the Principality of Heat, as the predecessor of the entire Bern City, the significance of the Caveol Palace to the Ansling family is self-evident.
There are many legends about this palace, but few people are able to actually get a glimpse of it, everything is hidden in layers of fog.
After looking at it for a while, soon because of the change in angle caused by the convoy moving forward, the well-known palace was once again hidden in the sea of mountains and clouds.
Pulling up the front window shutter, Gell sat back in his seat and looked at Lucarin. "What advice do you have for what's next? Do you want to go with the people of Ingrid Church? ”
"Well, I think it's better to separate. Lucarin thought about it for a moment and said calmly: "Obviously, now the Ingrid Church has something to do with the Nine Princes of the Duchy, and now the situation in the entire Duchy is not clear, if we continue to follow the people of the Church, we will be put into the camp of the Nine Princes and be involved in this whirlpool, which is not good for us." ”
"I think so too, so let's say goodbye to Carmelita when we get to Bern, and see if we can find a safe route back to San Rotarlo. Gell nodded in agreement.
Now Gehr and Lucarin are the brains of this five-person team, Gehr is in charge of the general direction, Lukarin is in charge of the details, as for the other three responsible for contributing, as long as the two of them have finished discussing, this matter will be settled.
"Aren't you sorry?" Lucarin's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at Gehr, and said with a hint of teasing.
"What a pity?"
"Say goodbye to such a beautiful woman. Lucarine stared at Gehr's face covertly, still smiling in her words.
"Where do you think of it? Gehr laughed. "You're no worse than Carmelita. ”
"Hehe, where, where, this is really not as good as her. Modest words were spoken, but Lucarin's eyes were narrowed.
"Hey, there's a third person here, pay attention. Iona, who was sitting across from her, protested weakly.
"I've heard before that the best way for an organization to run a base in a neighboring country is the Bern base, and even the Anslin family can have a certain relationship, we can go there to ask for some help, and we should have a good harvest......," Lucarin didn't hear Iona's protest, and directly began to discuss the matter after arriving in Bern.
"Well, can you think about this, do you need me to intervene?" Gell couldn't say anything, so he could only smile at Iona and start a discussion with Lucarin.
"Your goal is too big, I'll do it first......" After thinking for a while, Luca Lin chose a more cautious plan.
Seeing that she was being treated like a stranger, Iona sighed and buried her head on the small table, choosing not to see it.
The convoy continued to move forward, closing the distance between it and Bern little by little.
......
Two days later, in the evening, Gehr's convoy finally arrived at the city of Bern, the heart of the Principality of Haysting.
When I entered the surrounding area of Bern City a day ago, the barren mountain scene that had been unchanged suddenly changed dramatically.
Towering, snow-capped peaks surround the most fertile valley of the Principality of Haysting, and the glaciers melted from the snow flow into the valley from all directions, forming rivers that nourish the land of the valley, and the eyes are full of life green.
Moving forward in this pleasant environment, the convoy couldn't help but brisk a little brisk, and soon arrived at the location of Bern.
Faced with the terrifying city walls that were more than 20 meters high, the towers that protruded from the walls every few tens of meters, the dense shooting holes on the endless ramparts, and the black fortresses entrenched on both sides of the city gates, they witnessed with their own eyes the meaning of being known as a city that was almost impossible to conquer.
At the city gates, Gell and Lucarin find Carmerita and say goodbye to her.
Camerita understood the choice of Gehr and his party, and the two sides left each other's addresses in the hope of meeting again in the future.
After saying goodbye, the two sides entered Bern in two separate ways.
The first impression you get when you enter Bern is one of bustle, bustle and order, not like the noisy city of Hiawatha full of enthusiasm or passion, showing another kind of orderly prosperity.
The order in the city is well maintained by the guards everywhere, there is no phenomenon of rushing, the shops on the same street are the same store model, people buy and sell in an orderly manner, talk politely, there is no brawl or abuse, everywhere shows a kind of luxury, there is indeed a royal demeanor.
"My lord, I say hello, if you want to stay overnight, it is better to go to the rue Ambonin, which is the center of the inns. Clemi came back with good news.
"Well, let's go there. ”
