On November 5, 1456, the winter season quietly arrived.

After more than a month after leaving Perris Castle, Modrian and his party crossed the wilderness plains and stepped into the north of the Stoke Kingdom. During their wandering journey, they saw different styles in different worlds.

Barrenness and desolation are Modrian's impression of the northern part of the kingdom. The group seemed to be in a cold and deserted area. There were very few merchants and mercenaries visible on the road, and most of them were nervously looking at the cavalry team running by.

The Patriotic War that lasted for ten years created countless heroes and nobles for the Stoke Kingdom, and also left too many scars on its huge body, especially in the north of the kingdom, which was the main battlefield at that time.

Countless bandits are one of the remaining problems. They are nailed firmly in this cold area like stubborn diseases, harassing and slaughtering people in the wild, making the northern part of the kingdom even more chaotic. Only towns with kingdom troops will be much safer.

After more than a month of wandering, Modrian can be said to have experienced dozens of waves of robbers and sneak attacks, war horses and weapons, which are all the favorites of robbers and bandits. Then, killing under greed is inevitable.

"Cooper, is Edalas City ahead? It's really prosperous!"

A line of cavalry teams came to the foot of the mountain. The leader lifted up the cloak covered with wind and sand, revealing a young face, with short and broken blonde hair facing the sun, and the brown eyes had a weather-beaten smell.

"Yes, Lord Modrian, there is Edalas, the golden intersection of the kingdom!" Cooper, who was beside him, raised his head and replied on his horse.

The towering city stands among the high mountains. The cold weather makes the sides of the mountain ridge slippery and ridgeless. The nearly six-meter-high city wall just blocks the only road at the pass. The crowded stream of people, dense caravans, and other races appear from time to time.

As the most prosperous city in the north of the Stoke Kingdom, Edalas City is the most dazzling pearl in Silversong Province.

It is also the trading center in the north of the kingdom. Its outstanding geographical location makes it connect all directions, with the Gate of Sadness in the north, the Ailanfalu Empire, the Beshilik Kingdom in the west, and the Grand Duchy of Tampafasa in the east, and the title of [Golden Crossroads].

There are countless merchants staying and leaving every day, and there are also mercenaries from all over the world who will bring rare items from different countries to the north of the kingdom and new things happening across the mainland.

Looking at the prosperous and majestic city in front of me, Modrien sighed in his heart, almost no less than the modern city of the earth in his previous life.

"Then further north, is the gate of sadness, the barrier of war in the kingdom?" Modrian continued to ask curiously, unknown thoughts flashing in his brown pupils.

The door of sorrow.

Speaking of this name, Cooper remembered that once, the other side of the Gate of Sadness was one of the most powerful empires on the continent of Kaladimos, the Ailanfaluo Empire.

The frost road guarded by the Gate of Sadness was the only road that was connected to each other between the two countries, which also triggered the decade-long Patriotic War caused by the invasion of the Gate of Sadness by the Ailanfalu Empire. At that time, the Kingdom of Stoke was really in a storm, and if you were not careful, your country would be destroyed and your family would be destroyed.

"Yes, Lord Modrian, the Gate of Sorrow, the most powerful barrier to war in the Kingdom, where Lord Brook made great contributions, and I am also honored to participate."

Cooper showed nostalgia on his face. The passionate years of the past have passed forever, but the memories are deeply engraved in the soul and are recalled from time to time.

Listening to Cooper's words, he awakened the information about the passing years in Modrian's memory. His father, Viscount Brooke, was awarded the title of Viscount of the Kingdom for his merits made in the Ten Years of Patriotic War, and was a hero in the war at that time.

"Go into the city. Edalas City is not far from Irvingdale Town, and it is also our last stop for repair." Modrian said, pointing to the city in front of him.

The reason for choosing here for renovation is very simple. Compared with other surrounding cities, Edalas City is considered a city in the north of the Kingdom with less influence from the Jeffrey family. There are many forces here, especially close to the Gate of Sadness, which makes the Jeffrey family dare not reach out to touch with each other.

Modrian and his group followed the crowded crowd and entered the city safely. There was no obstacle on the way, and no episodes happened.

The veterans stationed at the city gate had already discovered the difference between this team from afar. The silent and quiet atmosphere and the formation maintained while walking. This was an elite and terrifying team. Without checking the documents, they were directly sent into the city.

Perhaps Modrian was not clear yet. In the senses of outsiders, walking in front of their team, he could feel inexplicable depression, and he felt that he should not enter the stranger. It was a temperament created by killing.

................

The cold winter sun is a little chilling, and it is spreading to every corner of Edalas City with a hint of coldness. Perhaps it has long been used to this. The pedestrians and tourists on the streets are still happy to visit the city, and they accept novel things with great enthusiasm.

Walking on the clean and tidy streets and looking at the surrounding shops, Modrian was far more surprised at the level of free trade in the city of Edalas than what he looked outside the city.

Especially when he is in the city at this moment, Modrian has seen many alien races passing by. They live in peace with humans, exchange common language, and their gentle smiles are covered with strange faces.

Modrian silently looked at the lizard man standing next to the shop on the right side of the street. His green skin, tall and strong body, and his sharp minions, was standing up from the lizard. He was typing something, as if he was buying urgently needed items.

Following behind the Lizardman are ugly zombies, slaves or servants of the Lizardman. Under their thin figure, there is a scimitar hidden, and their green eyes are looking around.

This group of people should be merchants from the Kingdom of Beshilik, which belongs to the Lizardmen. It is located to the west of the Kingdom of Stoke, close to the Sea of ​​Infinity. It is a very powerful military kingdom and often harasses the cities in the western part of the Kingdom.

Even Modrian, who had experienced various Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, could not help but sigh at the greatness of the Creator when facing other races that really existed.

Modrian and his group finally stayed in front of a hotel, as if they were browsing the prosperity of Edalas.

Blue Strawberry Hotel is a very plain name, but Modrian took it at first sight, preferring a simple house style, and sometimes green vegetation can be seen, giving people the atmosphere of being in the forest.
