Warhammer Seal

Chapter 141 Looking at the Gray Mountains from afar
Palaion, the easternmost principality of Bretonnia, is close to the Gray Mountains, and the Empire looks at it from a distance.

Thanks to their friendly relationship with the Wood Elves of Athel Loren, Palaion's serfs are only hunted by the Wood Elves during the Wild Hunt.

The locals are very reluctant to carry out large-scale logging in the northern part of the Athel Loren forest, and even the forest beyond the wood elf boundary stone will not be felled.

Many villages are built around trees rather than cut down, as most trees have platforms in their branches that serve as shelters from greenskin infestation.

In Wende's view, this is not because of any belief, but because the entire southern part of the Principality of Palaon is not suitable for human survival and has great environmental defects.

The south of Palavon is full of valleys. The castles of the knights are generally built in the valleys. The towering towers stand in the valleys. As the sun rises, the snow-white marble shines with holy and soft light.

Wende pointed to Palaion City not far ahead, and there were some flying horses flying freely in the sky.

"Ruixi, we have arrived at Palaion City."

No matter how unpalatable the food in these small hotels was, it was much better for Wende than being in the wild.

The two who are enjoying the food have already started to think about where to book a room tonight, and then hehehe until the dawn of the sixth day.

Fish and dragons were mixed in the tavern. Besides tourists, there were also woodcutters, mercenaries, and even chivalrous knights looking for work.

This place is naturally a place for information exchange, whether Wende wants to listen or not, he will involuntarily collect a lot of information.

So-and-so's man has an illegitimate child, and so-and-so has a strange habit of sniffing his fingers after picking his armpits.

Although listening to these gossips is a bit off-putting, it is also a pretty good rest from the journey.

Until Wende heard a group of people gathered together, terrified and terrified about a big event.

All of them were serfs from the villages in the Palawon mountain area. Logically speaking, they should all be bound to the land and not go out casually.

As for the reason why they left the village, they were talking about it at this time.

"It's true! A huge dragon attacked our village. It burned down the whole house in one mouthful of flames. We are homeless."

Wende skillfully took out a shiny silver coin and threw it towards the table where the serfs were sitting.

"Tell me about the appearance of that giant dragon."

"Thank you, good sir."

The serfs immediately smiled. With this money, they can build their own houses on the outskirts of Palaion City, and maybe they can settle down here.

"The giant dragon has fiery red skin, and when it opens its mouth, it becomes a huge fireball. It is as big as the entire tavern. Master, are you going to slay the dragon?"

Wende shook his head with a smile. It seems that these serfs are not lying. There are indeed giant dragons in the Gray Mountains. Apart from Pegasus and green skins, other creatures must also be careful.

It seems that the plan to go directly over the Gray Mountains and return to Maijia Village cannot be implemented.

In order to save travel time, the time to spend tenderly with Rui Xi changed from the planned six days to only three days.

After drinking and eating, the two of them didn't have the intention to start working immediately. They finally arrived at a human town, but they could walk around to digest food.

There seems to be some kind of meeting being held in the square with the slate floor in Palaion City, and all the townspeople are present.

If it is in his own world, Wende has no interest in watching the excitement.

However, in this era when productivity was similar to that of the end of the Middle Ages, Wende still felt the need to watch the excitement.

In such an era, information is very lagging, and it is easy to take advantage of the information gap to earn a lot of benefits.

Therefore, walking around the streets and finding out about the family's family background is very good for taking risks.

Whether people were watching the duchess scolding the street, or watching the firearms from the empire, it could broaden Wende's horizons.

It's just that the crowd is really dense, and relying on the knight badge hanging on his chest, he can at least scare away some ignorant serfs and farts.

But there was already a sea of ​​people inside, and Wende could only push forward while struggling.

"Give it up, let it go."

In the center of the square, 29 warriors have gathered. They will represent Palaion City to participate in the 140th Gray Mountain Pegasus Catching Competition. Now there is only one volunteer left.

All the people present were just looking at the excitement, no one wanted to go to the Gray Mountains to die, except for them. . .

Wende squeezed in from the crowd, and stood in the middle of the square without paying attention.

This made the host very happy. After waiting for a long time, the last volunteer finally appeared. He looked like a knight, and the knight would not regret it.

In this way, Wende and Ruixi became the representative team of Palaion City in a daze, and went to the Gray Mountains to catch Pegasus.

The audience in the audience has all started booing, of course not being proud of the city.

Gambling is one of the most exciting things for human beings, and everyone is betting.

Some people bet on the number of people who returned, some people bet on the number of missing people, and some people bet on who was the first to come back in despair.

It's just that no one is betting on who can successfully come back with the Pegasus cub.

The other volunteers on the stage also looked indifferent. The key reason for them to participate in this competition was for the bounty of dozens of copper coins.

He only needs to stay in the Gray Mountains for ten days and half a month, and then he can return to Palaion City and lie that he has never seen Pegasus.

In this way, it seems that the mountainous area in this area has been trampled by the Palavons, and perhaps it is not as dangerous as Wende imagined.

Then it is completely possible to jump over directly, instead of foolishly going around Hemgart.

"Host, when are we leaving?"

"Ha, this foreigner who seems to be full of courage, let me repeat the rules to you now. It's time to start early the next morning."

Wende also understood, nodded, and then patted Ruixi, it seems that the two of them will not be able to spend the night well tonight.

But it doesn't matter to Ruixi, in the wild, every grass is fine.

Wende was more concerned about the props and equipment for climbing the mountain, and strived to return to his fief Maijia Village as quickly as possible.

Then he took out his own money from Maijia Village to further arm himself, and then immediately joined Karl Franz's army going north, and returned immediately after observing Kislev's defense situation.

Assisting the Emperor in winning the battle at Black Fire Pass, so that he can pick up the legendary weapon named Gal Malaz and prepare to resist the invasion of Chaos in one year and eight months.

This seemed too far away, and Wende withdrew his thoughts at once.

Perhaps you should buy a larger iron pot and sleeping bag, after all, crossing the gray mountains is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Eating barbecue every day and spinning for two in the grass is not good for your health.

"Yes, Boss, here are two more sets of dwarf climbing equipment, the size of which is human."

　Pegasus looks like a winged horse, but in fact their intelligence and ability far exceed that of ordinary mounts.

　　They usually live social lives in large flocks, mainly in the Gray Mountains.The breeding ability of Pegasus is excellent, and they are found almost all over the world, nesting in their favorite alpine cliffs.

　　Most Pegasus knights come from the border city of Palaion. Their mounts are noble and elegant, and they usually live on the slopes of the Gray Mountains.

　　They are specially trained for the knights of the kingdom, and only the rich and the rich dare to boast of owning a battle-trained Pegasus, because the creature is very difficult to catch and even harder to tame.Therefore, owning this animal has become a symbol of wealth and success.

　　For a knight, it is extremely lucky to have a Pegasus.Pegasus is stronger and faster than other warhorses. It can crush the heads of enemies with ease and can fly quickly.

　　In battle, Pegasus's ability to not get bogged down in swamps is a nice advantage, since Bretonnia has so many backwoods.On the battlefield, small groups of Pegasus riders often join forces to defeat the enemy in glorious combat.

　　Thanks to [War Economist] and [Ao Tuman] for the rewards, and thanks to [Good Fat Brother Obu] and [Book Friends 20190616005810279] and [Book Friends 20191201094311702] and [Asad Fei Shifan] for the monthly tickets.
