Chapter 402 Triumph
"Don't get close to the Verezzo people. Something happened to Tilia."
"My guy in Milagliano sent me a message telling me that the city has been closed down."
"I passed through Tobaro City a month ago but failed to dock."
"Damn it! It's getting harder and harder to do business at sea. Everything has gone bad since the flood."
"At least the Sea Earl is no longer around." A suppressed voice made the chaotic streets suddenly quiet.
Rare fear fermented among the crowd, and no one would forget the undead that ruled the night at sea. At that time, few ships dared to continue sailing at night.
Lynch only had a brief understanding of it and no longer paid attention to it. The Tilia Peninsula was separated from the empire by gray mountains, and it was separated from the Oster Territory by several provinces.
His companions quickly packed their bags. There was only a bag of salted fish in the package and some clean tableware on the carriage.
A mage can solve many things, but of course, a smart mage will only cast spells when absolutely necessary.
Eugen wanted to show off his newly acquired knowledge, but before he could take action, the Archmage taught him something that every mage must know - magic will make the world worse.
Isil is devouring the mortal world all the time, this is inevitable.
After many efforts, the devouring speed was only suppressed to a slow level.
Casting spells will intensify this process.
Of course, every mage can safely assume that a drop of water will not affect the ocean.
Most wild wizards, dark wizards, vampires, chaos warlocks, and necromancers do this, and they don't have to care about what the world will become.
The carriages drove as usual in the central square, and drunken locals often had drunken fights. The square was a good place for them to have fights.
So when Lynch passed by, it was no surprise that he saw a few losers lying on the ground with bruises.
There are few vendors on the deserted streets, and only some locals are exchanging plant roots and nuts for meat with returning hunters.
Sailors looking for supplies would go straight to the two or three shops that were the busiest parts of the town.
Taverns, part-time hotels, sailing equipment shops, and seafood markets are all the prosperity of Sakkar Town.
The eerie Shadow Forest is at the end of the road, and the team became much quieter after leaving the city in the west.
Even if they have enough reasons to feel reassured, no one will really let down their guard against danger.
There were some stone monuments hidden in the vegetation on both sides of the road. They might be some kind of monuments. At another fork in the road, Lynch saw the largest monument he had seen since entering Osterland.
It depicts a long-haired strong man wielding a war hammer and fighting a giant dragon. If you guessed it correctly, this is the story that the locals like to talk about most, the story of Sigmar and the Dragon.
It is said that this place was visited by a dragon when the empire was first established. The nobles did not dare to face it, and the army was also afraid of dragon fire.
So Sigma came to Osterland alone. The then Duke of Osterland cooperated with Sigma and killed the evil dragon in an epic battle.
To commemorate this event, they erected stone monuments here. Lynch could tell that the establishment of these stone monuments could be traced back to six hundred years ago, which greatly reduced the authenticity of the local people's stories.
It can be seen that they have worked very hard to establish a identity for themselves, but unfortunately, they are still poor so far.
Some marks on the monument told Lynch that it had previously been decorated with ornate ornaments.
Maybe the locals took away the ornaments after trying to no avail, or maybe it was a good thing done by the beastmen. Anyway, now it is just a beautiful stone that is about to be eroded by the rain.
However, the locals do revere Sigmar more than Ulric, which is not a common thing in the northern part of the empire.
Outside of the mainstream faith here, "God of the Wilderness" Taal, Sigmar occupies the most faith.
This may be related to their history. The empire before Magnus was briefly divided into three parts, and the three emperors jointly ruled one side.
Perhaps that was not short-lived for humans. The darkness of the "Three Emperors Era" lasted for more than 800 years.
The beliefs of Tal, Sigmar, and Ulric are divided into three parties. The Oster Territory is the faction that supports the belief of Sigmar. Of course, the weak provinces will inevitably sway from side to side.
The boring journey continued until a group of knights with bloodstains on their armor and dents on their shields met them unexpectedly.
They were the Sons of Manavi, and they were supposed to be fighting on the front lines.
The meddling dwarf took the initiative to get into trouble:
"Hey! Guys, your swords are still covered in blood. Did you just come back from the battlefield?"
"The battle is over. His Majesty Magnus has beaten the orcs into the forest. The cowardly greenskins are unwilling to fight us. My leader thinks that we should not waste time with the greenskins in the forest, but Steele The leader, the Elector, doesn't think so. He is a stupid old bastard, so we left first." The leading knight commander shrugged.
"Cowardly greenskins? Are you fighting a group of goblins? Orcs will not avoid fighting, they will just rush into the trap stupidly." The dwarf became serious and asked hesitantly.
"No, I'm sure it was an orc. The greenskin who died under my sword was half a stature taller than you." The people of Osterland have always been famous for their irritability and stubbornness. Not surprisingly, Lynch waited for both of them. There is a smell of gunpowder, and no soldier likes to be questioned.
"Ha, the orcs I killed must be at least a head taller than you. Why do you have the nerve to use goblins as a record?" The dwarf gradually forgot his original intention. The good-hearted knights gave up the space, and the equally good-hearted Eugen also stopped. The carriage was fanning the flames like a boo.
"There must be a duel at this time to end your conflict so that you two can calm down and talk, if you can still talk by then."
The incident ended with Eugen receiving a moderate beating. With an outside finger pointing the finger, it was easy for people to learn to speak out in unison.
Maybe he has forgotten himself since he learned magic. Lynch believes that this small lesson is a good thing. At least it can let mankind know not to praise a certain period of glory all the time. There are still endless variables in the future, and there are many other things than him. Better people.
"Is that really an orc?" the dwarf asked disbelievingly.
"I'm sure it is, and don't want to repeat it."
"This is really strange. I still can't agree with your statement." Sorian muttered.
"Chasing fleeing greenskins in the forest is definitely not a smart move, and many of our good guys have died in the chase.
The stupid Elector still didn't know how to change his tactics. Of course, he didn't need to feel bad. After all, it wasn't his soldiers who died. "
The aggrieved knight commander soon became familiar with the dwarves, but he pitied the ancient holy priest who dedicated his life for this.
