Chapter 276 Elanlia’s Escape Route

Johnny Freeman spread out the map of the Northern Continent in his hand.

After looking around, he carefully put a check mark on the tribe of Brocellus Huven, the second-class tower, and then marked the amount of salt sold with extreme caution.

Most of the things like spirits and moonlight velvet can only be enjoyed by nobles. The quantity sold is affected by the wealth of the tribe and the personal likes and dislikes of the prairie nobles, and cannot accurately measure the true situation of a certain prairie tribe.

But table salt is different.

Everyone needs to eat salt.

If you don't eat or eat less, you will feel dizzy, lose your appetite, and have muscle cramps.

so……

Based on the supply and demand relationship of salt, the quantity sold, the scope of the territory and the quality of pasture, the Antolians can estimate to a certain extent the number of people and the true strength of each tribe in the Kingdom of Walras.

Although he didn't know why the Marquis, who was far away on the southern border of the Kingdom of Andal, was so curious about the situation in the Kingdom of Walras.

But Johnny Freeman still faithfully fulfilled the requirements of the Marquis.

After marking the quantity, Johnny Freeman couldn't help but look at the map in his hand again.

The tribe ruled by Cyrus Huven was the second stop that the Antolian caravan arrived after entering the Kingdom of Walras.

But it's not the last stop.

According to Johnny Freeman's plan, they will make a large circle in the southwest of the Kingdom of Walras.

On the one hand, it is to sell all the goods in hand, and on the other hand, it can also take this opportunity to observe the real situation of the Walras Kingdom.

For example, now, Johnny Freeman feels that he has come to a conclusion that others may not have thought of, that is - the Kingdom of Walras is really big!

As the largest nomadic kingdom in the Northern Continent, the Kingdom of Walras occupies almost one-third of the entire Northern Continent.

It reaches the Endless Sea in the west and the Kingdom of Gerosnia in the east.

It reaches the Arctic Icefield in the north, and borders the Kingdom of Idrit, the Kingdom of Andal, the former Principality of Norton, and many eastern principalities in the south.

Its territory is so vast that, let alone the Northern Continent, even if the Southern Continent is added to it, its territorial area is still second to none.

For Johnny Freeman, who was in charge of this business trip, he could clearly realize this simply by looking at the distance between the two tribes without even looking at the map.

It can be said that it is most appropriate to describe the Kingdom of Walras with its vast land and sparse population.

However, sparseness is also relative.

after all……

Even if it has a large population, if it is placed in the vast territory of the Kingdom of Walras, it can also be summarized as vast land and sparsely populated areas.

"Take inventory of the goods and prepare to continue setting off. There is still a long way to go!"

Johnny Freeman sighed, exhaling a puff of white mist in the cold air.

He is not only here to sell things, but also to buy things.

After the goods are sold out, the Antolian caravan will also carry a lot of goods from the Kingdom of Walras when it returns.

For example, some cattle and sheep.

Make money when you go and spend money when you return.

after all……

The Jimena family is also a grassland person now!

The Natila Grassland in the Abandoned Land, in addition to having Wilson's bison's favorite food such as monkey tail, also has high-quality pasture.

This also gave the Antolian people the possibility to develop animal husbandry.

The only small drawback is that due to the pervasive black mist, there are no serious-looking creatures on the Tila Grassland, so they can only be imported from the Kingdom of Walras, which is time-consuming and laborious.

However, although it is quite troublesome to introduce it, it is very likely to get unexpected rewards.

You know, Johnny Freeman is not a pure businessman.

Indeed, most of the time, he considers himself a businessman.

But he also clearly remembered in his heart that he was once the waiter of Leon's father, the former Viscount of Antolia, Arthur Jimena.

So, hard work is hard work.

Seeing that Antoria, which was far away on the edge of the Kingdom of Andal, was increasingly showing an unprecedented vitality under the governance of the Marquis, Johnny Freeman felt happy in his heart.

It seemed that even the cold wind blowing in the face was no longer so biting.

…

Although the winter in the Kingdom of Iderit is not as cold as that in the Kingdom of Walras, it is still close to freezing.

The golden fallen leaves in autumn have become brittle and shriveled. It seems that with the slightest touch, they will scatter into powder on the ground and scatter in the wind like dust.

There were almost no pedestrians on the roads outside the city.

But Elenria was still huddled in the bushes on one side of the road. After looking around for a long time, she suddenly rushed from the bushes full of thorns and spikes to the puddle on the roadside.

She gritted her teeth and pressed her hands into the cold puddles on the roadside.

Looking at the mud in the palm of my hand, I felt the biting coldness.

Ellanria was cruel and began to apply it back and forth on her face and head, re-applying it into a messy look on her long pale golden hair and delicate face.

And when she raised her head again, Elanlia's face was no different from that of a refugee.

"Be careful! There is a convoy coming from the east!"

The middle-aged man who was standing guard on the top of the tree suddenly let out a somewhat urgent cry.

Hearing this, Elenria couldn't help but tremble.

He quickly stood up and lay down behind the trees on the first floor of the road again.

Elanlea Grace.

This is the girl's real name.

But she never reveals her real name.

Because the surname Grace represents too many things in the Northern Continent.

Elanria was convinced.

If a noble heard the surname Grace, the first thing he would think of would not be himself, but the meaning behind the surname.

because……

This surname represents the bloodline of an ancient family and the former glory of a lost empire.

Holy Brun Empire.

A powerful empire that nearly controlled most of the northern continent more than a hundred years ago!

It is also the only human force in the history of the Northern Continent whose territory far exceeds the Kingdom of Walras and is named after the Empire.

From the Kingdom of Iderit to the Kingdom of Andal, from the Far North Icefield to the Eastern Kingdoms...

The name of the Gris family is known to everyone.

Because these lands, this vast territory, were once the territory of the Holy Brun Empire!

And as the Holy Brun Empire fell apart more than a hundred years ago, the bloodline of the Grace family had to die and escape.

After countless baptisms over the years and the scourge of wars, only the branch that lived in the Kingdom of Idrit managed to survive.

But even so, there is only Elanya left now.

In fact, the Kingdom of Idrit can be said to be the most friendly country to the blood of the Grace family.

When the Holy Brun Empire existed, the Grace family had a close relationship with the royal family of the Kingdom of Idrit, the Francis family.

Therefore, the turmoil that broke out when the Holy Brun Empire disintegrated and almost covered the entire northern continent did not actually have a strong impact on the Kingdom of Idrit.

It is precisely for this reason that Loris City, the capital of the Kingdom of Iderit, has almost completely retained the architectural style of the Holy Brun Empire. Nowadays, buildings can be found all over the Kingdom of Iderit, and most of them have more or less the same style. A little bit of the Holy Brun Empire.

but……

Friendly is friendly.

Although the descendants of the Grace family have received good treatment from the Idrit royal family, they cannot have substantial fiefdoms.

Whenever a bloodline of the Grace family is born, the Idrit royal family will give it an honorary title to express the Francis family's claim to the Kingdom of Idrit and to remind the bloodline of the Grace family - don't cause trouble. .

Therefore, Elanlia now actually holds the title of earl.

However……

She decided to leave anyway.

This is not because the Idrit royal family's attitude towards the Grace family's bloodline has changed, nor is it because she only holds an honorary title, or because she is obsessed with the restoration of the Holy Brun Empire.

This has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Iderit.

It's because the Kingdom of Idrit has begun to revolt again.

As we all know, although there are various factions and categories within the relics of the restoration of the country, some believe in harpies, and some gods talk about the coming of night, but that is only internal!

As for external affairs...

They have a common slogan - rebuild the Holy Brun Empire!

The Antolians' defenses on the south bank of the Meyerson River greatly disrupted the overall plan of the Revived Relics and reduced the activity space of the Revived Relics believers.

so……

In order to make up for their losses in the area south of the Meyerson River, the remnant believers of the Restoration had to expand the scope of their activities in the Kingdom of Iderit.

And if it expands like this, it will also cause trouble.

Whether it is the Francis family, the rulers of the Idar Kingdom, or the nobles who know Elenria's real surname, they have always kept silent about the surname Grace.

But……

Just like Leon has never had the slightest expectation for the "strict" sense of confidentiality of the nobles of this era.

It is already a miracle that Elanlia's true surname can be hidden among the nobles for hundreds of years.

And now...

I don’t know how the remnant believers of the Restoration of the Kingdom learned of the existence of Elanlia.

The blood of the Grace family!

And it’s still alive!

Although rebuilding the Holy Brun Empire is just a slogan, if they can really capture a living bloodline of the Grace family to support themselves, then the legitimacy of their preaching can be said to have achieved a huge leap!

That's right!

Those cultists with completely abnormal brain circuits even think they have legitimacy!

It is precisely because of the above that the Kingdom of Idrit, which had just ended the war in the Principality of Norton, had not even had time to digest the land it had previously divided up the Principality of Norton, and revolts broke out in the coastal areas.

And the target is directly at Ellanria!

This made her feel threatened and a little embarrassed.

Because the Grace family of today is no longer the Grace family of the past.

She was the only one left, and all those loyal knights had long since aged or died.

So much so that when the Kingdom of Iderit was revolted, there was only one guard knight left by her side.

The Kingdom of Idrit definitely can’t stay any longer.

As the remnants of the restoration of the country become more and more troublesome, there is no guarantee that the nobles of the Kingdom of Idrit will not hand themselves over in exchange for a semblance of peace.

She has always seen the friendship between nobles very clearly.

But……

If she can't stay in the Idrit Kingdom, where should she go?

This is a very important issue, not only related to Elenria herself, but also related to the continuation of the Grace family.

so……

After having a particularly serious discussion with the only knight squire left beside him - Lehman Alhold.

Ellanria finally made a decision!

She heard...

In the southeast of the Kingdom of Iderit, a new and powerful noble territory emerged.

Not only did he drive away the remnant believers of the Restoration who had once been entrenched on the south bank of the Meyerson River, he even achieved key feats in the war in the Principality of Norton.

She wanted to go to Antolia.

Because the fierce battle that took place on the south bank of the Meyerson River at least showed that the Marquis of Antolia and the remnants of the restoration of the country could not be dealt with!

so……

Elanlia regards Antolia as her first destination.

After passing through Antolia and entering the inland area, the number of survivors of the restoration of the country will suddenly decrease, and your life safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

It was with this idea in mind that Elanria walked all the way to the south bank of the Meyerson River.

She dared not take the main road.

Because the remaining believers of the restoration of the country are looking for her.

She also did not dare to seek asylum from the nobles.

Because she didn't know whether the nobles she was looking for had been infiltrated by the survivors of the restoration of the country.

If no nobleman leaked the secret, how could his true surname be exposed? !

therefore……

Even from the day when the war in the Principality of Norton subsided, Elanria walked all the way to the southeast, but until now, she could only see the vast Meyerson River...

no way.

While relying entirely on foot, Elanria also had to avoid possible threats at all times and avoid the eyes of remnants of the restoration of the country who might be lurking in the dark.

You know, when she first set out, Rehman Alhold was not the only knight by her side.

And now...

But only Lehman Alhold was left.

The difficulties and dangers along this journey can be imagined.

Fortunately, the Meyerson River is already in sight.

As long as she crossed the Meyerson River, she would have entered the territory of the Kingdom of Andal and arrived at the territory of the Marquis of Antolia!

As long as she crosses the river, she will be safe!

She turned back and looked at the Kingdom of Idrit behind her, looking at the land where she had lived since she was born.

Ellanria thought so.

No more today.
