The Nord Kingdom is only warm for three months in a year. At other times, it always seems to be covered by wind, snow and cold. The winter here is so cold that The divine ability of the morning light brings the morning light here, but it cannot bring warmth. The believers of the agricultural Goddess always try their best to plant hardy crops such as wheat, barley, rape, etc. on those fertile but cold all year round. The country’s agriculture barely supplies the country’s food rations.

At night, the very quiet of Ulan Town, located in the north of Nordland, is another year of winter. As always, big snowflakes float up in the sky and fall on the roofs of homes, even on the roads. There is a thick layer of snow, the air in the town is quiet and silent, the chimneys of houses emit thick black smoke, the stars in the sky bring faint stars to the ground, but the heavy snow bury everything.

In this season, the sun goes down very early. After dark, it’s safer to return to town sooner, and it’s more dangerous to return to town slowly. What’s in the wild after sunset There are both robbers, wild beasts, the northern Barbarian Race that comes to looting from time to time, and even terrifying green skins or undead. The residents of the small town basically don’t choose to go out at this time, only the door of the house. And a warm fireplace can give them a sense of security.

A world wrapped in silver and white, except for the patrol guards who occasionally pass by, the town is dark, like a dead city, the winter wind continuously whistled past, snowflakes are floating in the sky, in this In the coldest season of the year, the residents of the small town can only hide in their homes, hoping to wait for the beginning of spring as soon as possible.

A black leather boot stepped on the steps of the city gate and made a creaking sound. A man wearing a black leather jacket appeared. He was wearing a leather triangle. The hat has a very low brim, and there is a lot of snow on the hat. This man is tall and mighty. He carries a one-handed long sword engraved with golden and silver patterns on his back. He also carries a handful. Golden Warhammer, the length of the Warhammer hammer handle is very long, as long as half a person, the bottom of the hammer handle is a spiral spike, shining with cold light.

This man has a handsome face and always smiles. He looks like a priest, but judging by the fluff around his mouth, this man will not be more than twenty-five years old, and from his chain armor In his blood and fierce eyes, he knew that this person was definitely not a priest.

The man observed from side to side, there was no one on the road, and there were no traces of footprints on the snow on the mud road. He sighed slightly and saw a sentinel standing guard at the city gate, so he walked forward. , Asked in a casually tone: "Excuse me, in the past few days, have you seen a man who wears a round hat, a cloak, outdated trousers and black leather boots, looks pale?"

The guard didn't want to answer. The man gently brushed away the cloak on his chest, and a silver white wolf head badge appeared in front of the guard.

"Sorry! It's impolite! Lord Knight!" The guard saw this badge, subconsciously stood up and moved towards the man and saluted: "Three days ago, such a man did come here! He claimed to be Mr. Bout and a friend of Sir Lord, so we let him in. He left yesterday morning and moved towards Southwest!"

"Mr. Bout? Hehe, let him I think about it, the situation must be like this three days ago. A strange traveler rode into the town on a horse..." Who knows that the man sneered. He stretched out his hand in the guard's somewhat disturbed eyes: "So our loyal guards Asked before, but the traveler took out a few Silver Coins and gave them to our loyal guards, expressing that they didn’t mean to show their identity. The loyal guards felt the traveler’s sincerity, no, it was from'Bout' Mr.'s sincerity, then let him into the city, right?"

In the freezing weather, cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead, and the sweat quickly froze. He whispered. "Knight, Lord Knight, please forgive me, please forgive us for being obsessed, I must have been possessed by Evil God at that time! I am willing to turn over the money to you, please forgive us for our sins!"

The man seemed to be very dissatisfied, snorted, after exhaling a white mist from his mouth, the man waved his hand: "Forget it, let me go into the city!"

"Yes, yes Thank you very much!" The guard, such as the amnesty, quickly opened the city gate. The wooden city gate slowly opened in the rotation of the simple wooden mechanism bearing. The man led the horse into the town, leaving the guard with lingering fears. .

This fashion is six o’clock in the evening. It was supposed to be when people in the town were doing activities, but Nord’s climate is like this. The sun has already set as early as three o’clock, so he can only be alone in the street. Walking, thinking about what happened along the way.

"Soldiers’ military salary can guarantee food and clothing, but it cannot guarantee a surplus life. In the face of some dispensables and does not violate the military order, it is understandable to accept bribes, Mr. Belt Sure enough, he has been a Demon Hunter for many years. He clearly understood his human nature and trifling a few Silver Coins, which made him avoid a lot of trouble along the way, but it made it difficult for me to do it." The man lifts the head and looks at the sky. The bright moon whispered: "Going to Southwest, Mr. Belt is planning to go to the port?"

"Anyway, let's stay at this time. The night in the wild is too dangerous." The man slightly After thinking about it, I decided to stay overnight.

Stay for a day or two, and then go to meet the woman from the Garland Council.

The Nord Kingdom is a desolate and remote place, but even a small town, as long as there are human settlements, there will be an inn. The man quickly found the inn, a two-story building From the outside, it should look like a dozen rooms.

Along the snowy mud road, the hotel in the town is still open to all the residents of the town as before.

Passing through the solid wooden doors of the hotel, the interior of the hotel looks like a party scene, with wooden tables and chairs arranged chaotically, people in the hotel communicate, drink barley wine, hotel Boss and Lady Boss continuously A variety of food and ale were brought out from the bar, the fire in the fireplace was burning, and the thick broth was simmering in the oven, and the heat of the broth wafted continuously in the interior of the hotel.

The cold weather outside and the hot indoors formed a sharp contrast. The windows of the hotel were also covered with thick mist. The inside and outside of the house were like two worlds. There was also a bonfire in the center of the venue. There were two drunk guys hugging each other and dancing the folk dance of the Nord with the cheerful singing of the bard, and a businessman from the empire was dancing lamely by a robust man, his weird The action made the people present laughed heartily.

"Ms. Freya! Another glass of barley!" A big man with two beards moved towards Lady Boss loudly said, he fiercely placed the wooden wine glass on the bar, the wine glass The inside was clean and there was nothing left but a little foam.

"Beautiful! Must bring beautiful when I call my name! Also need ale? Check out first, you have already drunk four glasses of ale, and pay me 20 Copper Coins in total!" Lady Boss was aggressively akimbo and hit the big man on the head with a spoon. The big man quickly touched his pocket and took out thirty Copper Coins in one breath: "All these are for you, beautiful Ms. Freya, hurry up Bring the wine!"

"Okay!" With a wave of Lady Boss' big fat hand, a large amount of Copper Coin disappeared into her pocket instantly. After receiving the money, Lady Boss opened her eyes and gave instructions quickly. Moving out more wine barrels, the hotel boss put a plate of roast lamb in front of the soldiers sitting on the bar: "Sir! Your barbecue, please use it slowly!"

"Okay Yes." The soldier took the barbecue and asked for another glass of wine. He seemed to be old, with a lot of wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and he was immersed in the delicious barbecue.

On the other side of the venue, dressed up, dressed in purple, wearing a red cap, and a bard with a lyre on his shoulders, he is tuning the strings of his lyre, Ready to start your own performance.

"Mr. Bard! What story do you plan to bring to us today?" a drinker said loudly.

"Yeah, we won't pay if it's not exciting!" Everyone roared.

In the hotel "roar roar ~", everyone was booing, the bard reluctantly straightened his clothes, and slowly began to play his lyre: "Then, I will bring it today. Let me give you an ancient story, a magnificent epic one hundred and fifty years ago!"

"More than a thousand years ago, the land was still peaceful, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The North Barbarian Race and Although there are occasional firefights on the mainland, trade and peace are still the main themes. The southern country was once the largest and best seaport and free trading city. The dwarves living in the mountain range on the eastern roof of the world used their sophisticated equipment and crafts to make peace. The human empire trades, and the southern wasteland stands up with dwarven forts, witnessing the prime time of the dwarves... At that time, the forest was not dangerous now, at that time..."

"But about the time ago Thousands of years ago, everything has changed."

"The world has been changed."

The hotel gradually became quiet, only the charcoal in the fireplace was crackling prosperously. The sound, the drinkers are sitting there, and the bard should keep quiet when performing. This is common sense on the mainland, but the businessman from the empire doesn't care very much, but he listens quietly.

The bard began to slowly play a melodious music, the tune is sad, but full of hope: "

Just a thousand years ago

In the north of the empire, darkness descends

Evil God is fierce, chaos rampant, as straight as purgatory in the world

The god of Totem has fallen, the god of wild beast is annihilated

The enemy is barbaric, wisdom avoids fierce barbarians

Peace goes away, swordsmen rages

South of the empire, green skin rises

The head of Gnuxu turns into Uza Grid’s ornaments

The dwarf’s thousand-year-old fortress cannot stop the spread of the plague

The statue of the first king was overthrown, and the collection of the ancient tomb became a surprise for the invaders

Fortunately

The alliance was re-established on the occasion of total destruction

The Long Beard Guards, the Lions Knight, go hand in hand

However, this victory is not worthwhile Celebrate

The empire has lost their emperor

brother wall, falling into endless disputes

In the dark corner, the undead climbed up from the grave

The evil wild beasts are corrupting all parts of the mainland

The world is sinking and everything is in danger

One hundred and fifty years ago, a two-tailed comet crossed the sky. The hero has finally arrived

That is Ludwig the savior

The devil prince gave the head, the evil shaman died

No matter how powerful the son of Chaos, he will be in front of him. It’s just a puddle of flesh

In the Plain of Fasha, the righteous formed an invincible coalition

The roar of the ancient giant dragon

Angels soar in the sky

The roar of the ancient giant dragon

p>

The elf’s staff and longbow are shiny

The dwarves form the strongest Copper Wall Iron Bastion

There are even demons from the Molten Underground

p>

Under the influence of the savior, fighting for justice and enemy of chaos

Everything belongs to Ludwig

Dozens of purified evil Demon King sons The heads of the gods and gods hung on the city wall of the empire

showing his Supreme glory and great achievements

The cry of victory moved through Heaven and Earth

Everyone elected him as the new imperial emperor

Everything belongs to Ludwig

Chaos returns to his hometown

Peace is coming back to this land

People live and work in peace and contentment

The hymn of the gods resounds again

Everything belongs to Ludwig"

The bard sang the moving epic impassionedly, no People noticed that outside the door of the hotel A new guest has arrived.

Until a gust of wind rang and attracted the attention of everyone in the hotel, the man stood at the door and listened to the magnificent epic before he opened the door, the story of Ludwig the savior It is a familiar story to everyone on the entire continent. This great original country nobleman, and later the new emperor relied on his powerful strength and domineering skills, and his outstanding political wisdom to condense the destroyed old empire again, finally Frustrated the chaos army, the new empire was re-established in the ruins of the old empire, and Ludwig was the founding emperor of the new empire.

"Is there a room, please?" In everyone's eyes, the man spoke, and as many people expected, his voice appeared very young.

"Is it a foreigner?"

"There is no room for a foreigner, our place will be closed immediately, please come back."

"Closed It's closed!"

The drinkers yelled half-cracking a joke half-seriously. The town doesn't welcome outsiders so much. The person in front of you is not a familiar face, and the drinkers are a little xenophobic.

"You guys... shut up your mother! Is it easy to get a visitor in this kind of weather? You goddamn idiots always keep me from doing business!" Lady Boss' angry roar interrupted In response to the behavior of the drinkers, a smile appeared on her round face immediately: "Yes, we have many empty rooms here, are you alone?"

"Yes, just I’m alone, so let’s help me prepare dinner by the way!" The youngster went up to put something up, and then sat down on the bar. He ordered rye bread, boiled broad beans, barley wine, and a large piece of grilled lamb chops, all of the same value. Twenty Copper Coins.

"Mr. Bard, tell us a new story."

"Then what kind of story do you want to hear?" The bard also said with a smile: "How about I tell you a story about the King of Knight, the founding nation of Bretania?"

"We have all heard of that too!" The drinkers said that they have also heard of this. Up.

"Tell a story about the war between Greenskin and the dwarves?"

"This is boring!"

The drinkers and the bard began to discuss loudly, there is Some want to hear the epic of war, some want to hear the love story, and some even want to hear the story of the gods. There are various requirements, and the bard is also a little embarrassed.

"In this way, we let Mr. Bard tell us a new story, the young hero of our Nord Kingdom, the legendary story of Ryan'Sledgehammer', how about it!"

"Good, good! This is good!"

"Just listen to this!"

The man just bowed his head to eat, and by the way, he spent a little money to get Lady Boss to get a piece of butter After eating the bread, he said goodbye and returned to his guest room after dinner.

He ordered the best room in this hotel. Of course, the worst accommodation in the hotel is the large room, which is lined with simple linen and thatch beds. The slightly better single room is It is a double or single person, and also only has a simple bed and a bucket of water at the corner. A bucket of water is not used for drinking, but is used when it is convenient.

The room he lives in has a soft bed, a table, a chair, and even a special compartment for washing. There is a small window in the room, and the return to house is only behind the room. , Ryan lightly opened the window and looked at the heavy snow outside: "I don’t know when this heavy snow will fall..."

At this moment, the bracelet on the man’s wrist suddenly flashed soft white He didn't have the slightest accident. He pressed the gem on the bracelet with his hand, and a voice full of majesty came from it.

"Ryan, did you find Belt?"
