There is a hint of sweetness in the late summer breeze, making people tipsy under the warm sun. August has passed and October is approaching.
The young man stretched out his hand to the blue sky, covering his field of vision with his five fingers, letting the soft sunlight flow from between his fingers. The light changed, which was particularly beautiful. Then he sighed and put down his hand, surrounded by the green Chablis.
The mountains are back in sight again - the air is dry and comfortable, and the weather is sunny enough to make people feel comfortable and happy.
It’s just that the deep green that has filled the mountains and fields since midsummer has faded away. The leaves of tree species such as ginkgo, metasequoia and sycamore have begun to take on a layer of light yellow, while the fragrant trees in the forest have turned light red, and the mottled colors are like oil paint flowing into the palette.
The same, blended together to produce a natural beauty that makes people's hearts beat.
He was sitting on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, staring at the gray-white cliff not far away that showed a conspicuous appearance in the sun - at the confluence of the river below the mountain, a patch of red roofs, which is the town of Chablis. Chablis
It was almost unknown in the game in the past. Brando only knew that it was located in the central region of Rendenel and was home to one of the few ethnic minorities in Eruin - the mountain people.
There is a dense forest in the north of the town. The ruins of the Silver Elf in the past are hidden under the canopy of layers of trees. It is called the Balogan-Saint Gerais ruins. It used to be an open temple for the Silver Elf, and the silver atrium was built on it.
In the middle of the dense forest, there are arcades of holy white, which fit the mysterious and majestic beauty of this racial philosophy.
However, as early as the Year of the Shadow Dragon, the elves left this area for unknown reasons, and the temple was abandoned. Now it should be inhabited by a group of lizard man bandits, if Brando remembers correctly.
In the past games, this area had no background. The reason why players went to the ruins of the Silver Elf Temple to fight was to rob the lizardman bandits of their wealth. Of course, the game designers gave them a more high-sounding reason, which was probably to eliminate harm for the people.
Category.
This makes Brando feel ridiculous. Players never need excuses, but game designers have to find ways to make their world self-consistent, so they have to find some reasons for these games "Locust" that seem as reasonable as possible.
Except for the plot party, this is a thankless task.
But now his thoughts have changed, and he finds that the backgrounds that he didn't understand before now seem to be foggy.
Brando has never been to Chablis before, because in the past games, there were no less than a hundred dungeons like Balogun-Saint Gerais Ruins in the Golan-Elsen area alone. Players
You don't have to go to other provinces to take risks when you are at a low level. The designer's thinking is also biased in this direction - only after reaching a high level, players begin to become more mobile among various regions and countries.
However, as a senior player, he has heard more or less rumors about these areas: for example, the ruins of the Balogan-Saint Gerais Temple in Chablis where lizard bandits are entrenched, or the densely populated institutions.
The weathered mausoleum of Levistan, filled with undead creatures, and the floating city of Karassel - players fight against mayflies.
Each one is an adventure story with wealth and treasures set against the light of swords.
When Brando was collecting this information, he probably didn't expect that one day he would have the opportunity to visit these places, but now he was standing on the hill looking at Chablis below - over the rooftops, there was smoke.
It was like sloping lines rising up, and then dissipating into the sky. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. Thank you for not having any intention of picking up a bargain at the beginning, otherwise I would have really lost my sight now.
He was thinking about the ruins of Balogun-Saint Gerais and the lizard bandits.
However, the Chablis area is really as beautiful as mentioned on the forum. It is so peaceful and peaceful that people want to stay here forever, just like a calm harbor.
Roman walked out of the forest behind with her beloved pony - she bought it from a merchant who sent Denel to Prague. She couldn't bear to ride it more. The business lady looked at Shabu curiously
The sharp mountains and rivers, the dark eyes flashed with a layer of excitement:
"Brando, is this here?" she asked.
"Ah," Brando responded and nodded: "This is Chablis. The name Chablis was left by the silver elves in the past, and it means 'sweet mountains'. It seems that we are lucky, Ma
Dara’s undead probably didn’t pass through here, and it’s still as peaceful as ever.”
However, he thought to himself that this was not surprising. Instar Dragon would definitely choose a relatively wealthy area when marching.
That Blackadder must have bypassed Braggs just to let Denel reap the benefits. Of course, he would not have entered the remote Summer Leaf Hills without any problems.
What's more, these are all 'stories' that have already happened in history, and Brando is confident.
"Are there any snacks in Chablis?" the business lady immediately asked again.
"You can try the mountain people's hot pot." Brando looked back at his beloved girl and smiled fondly: "But it seems that since you left Magitan, little Roman, you have become more and more...
I’m getting greedy, so be careful to gain weight.”
When Roman heard this, his little eyebrows immediately stood up, and he hurriedly defended: "I, I won't gain weight, I just eat a little bit." But this sounded more like self-comfort, she said
He quietly compared his waistline with his hands and frowned immediately.
It seemed that the contradiction between good food and gaining weight made her so distressed that she couldn't make a choice.
"Lord Knight, is there the 'Sage's Slate' you mentioned?" Antitina in the back is riding a black horse with shiny, satin-like fur; the girl's face has gradually become rosy these days.
, no longer as sickly pale as when she first met Brando - although the journey was tiring, at least she didn't have to worry about the next meal every day.
There is a long scroll box tied to her horse, which contains not only the crystallization of her wisdom and the most precious wealth, but also the priceless treasure that Brando values most. At first, he insisted on taking Antitina with him.
, just because these parchments are covered with various lines.
The girl coughed twice, raised her head, looked at the clear sky, and murmured: "It's almost October."
"Don't worry, no one will get there first this time." Brando knew what the girl was asking.
It had been more than a month since they left Braggs, and the news of the truce between Eruin and Madara had reached every local noble house in the south at the end of August. At that time, they had just arrived in the territory of Gendenel.
Settled in Magitan, the capital of the earldom, the Forest City.
Brando placed his hope on the Sage's Slate in the Mist Forest to the west of Magitan, but as expected, the Sage's Slate has been obtained by the local North Wind Church as in past games. Brando and Jeandenel
The Earl's North Wind Knight did not have much friendship. After staying there for a while, he had to leave.
However, when he was in Magitan, he introduced Roman to the most famous local snack, a honey dessert. As a result, the business lady is now full of interest in snacks everywhere.
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but smile, but he suddenly realized the December coup: there were still two months. He thought that he would definitely be unable to make it in time, but he could only rest assured and leave it to the future regent.
Princess, and the girl from Butch Country—
Freya.
Presumably Freya has arrived at the Royal Knights Academy in the princess's private territory at this time, but she doesn't know how tense the situation outside is now. But manpower will always be poor, and he does not have the capital to participate in the feud between the princes.
The game. Brando's biggest task at the moment is to continuously strengthen himself, and when it comes to strengthening himself, he can't help but think that Leto and his party should have entered the Anlek Province at this time.
"We are looking for that stone slab here?" Antitina asked.
"Well, there is a Silver Elf ruins to the north of here, and it is said that the stone slab is in the ruins." Brando replied. What he was thinking about was to find a guide. He knew the background of this area well.
, but because he has never been to Chablis, he does not know where the Balogan-Saint-Gerlais ruins are.
It's just that there is a group of lizard bandits entrenched in the ruins, so this matter will not be as easy as he imagined. In the past games, the Balogan-Saint Gerais ruins were a level 23 dungeon, although it was far lower than the Golden Demon.
The forbidden orchard of trees, but there are no shortcuts here.
He thought for a while and decided to go to the town first.
…
The three of them walked down the gentle hillside and entered Chablis in less than half an hour.
In fact, the town of Chablis is very different from most towns in the south of Erouin. The mountain people built this town in the mountains - this is not a simple thing. They followed the wisdom of their ancestors and filled it with stones.
The hillside is sloping, so new parts of the town are always stacked on top of the old ones. Over time, the entire town rises layer by layer along the river at the foot of the mountain, more like a stone fortress.
If we want to use one impression to describe this town, it would be stairs, a large number of staggered stairs. Buildings are lined up in rows on upward platforms, and narrow and slender stairs connect these spatially staggered platforms.
.
This place still maintains the original style of the mountains in the south of Eruin. The mountain people rarely use the power of magic. They build stone-carved lamp posts on both sides of the stone steps, and put a brazier in the hollow space inside, which can also replace oil lamps or lamps.
The function of magic street lamp.
Brando remembered that there was only one bar in Chablis, a hotel called 'Chaplis Lantern'. The forum for Chablis players was called this name. It was for this reason that he remembered this legendary hotel.
Colorful hotel.
It is said to be full of legend because this is the only hotel that is home to almost all foreign adventurers, mercenaries and players in Chablis. Its appearance is like a spacious hall, with the guest rooms below the hall. Normally, it is like a spacious hall.
Travelers gathered in the hall above to exchange news with each other. There was only one such hotel in the entire southern territory of Eruin.
However, as they walked into this small town, Antitina and Roman hadn't noticed anything yet, but Brando immediately noticed an unusual aura.
He looked around carefully on his horse. People who were wearing very different traditional clothes from the surrounding mountain people were passing by on the street in twos and threes. Most of them were young and powerful. Some of these people even cast suspicious glances at the three of them.
.And Brando recognized these people almost immediately - they were travelers, adventurers, mercenaries and monster hunters.
These people would have appeared anywhere in Warnd, but...
For a small place like Chablis, it seems a bit too much.
This is not the Chablis that gathered a large number of players in the past games.
