Before the End of Chapter 463
“Year 2322, fifth day of the summer month.
After a terrifying experience, my companions and I successfully checked into the inn, the Bretonnia inn.
If you are an Imperial, you know how bad Bretonnia is, their inns are full of monsters! Vampires and wights are waiting for every human who falls into their trap.
Luckily, my companion is also a monster.
According to the restraint relationship of the food chain, they became the pads that Lynch used to sharpen his claws. " . "On the seventh day of the summer month, I hate rainy days, but this rain allowed me to see another side of Bretonnia.
Without being modest, I can say that I have seen more than one Knight of the Holy Grail. The Duke of Montfort is the third living saint I have met.
The most respectable imperial nobles were no more than this. Can you imagine that a duke actually cared about his people?
We encountered a greenskin attack, or more precisely, the village we passed by was attacked.
The Bretonnian knights arrived when the smoke of the war rose. Even the legions of the imperial provinces might not be able to be mobilized so quickly.
Before we had time to meddle in other people's business, the Duke of Montfort temporarily set up a court after wiping out the greenskins. He listened carefully to the villagers' demands and punished the perpetrators, regardless of their status.
In my experience of the old world, he was the first human ruler to do so.
Bretonnia is a terrible place, but a few precious souls still shine.
I forgive this land for its offense to me." . "On the fifteenth day of the summer month, it was sunny. Thank the gods for letting me see the forest of the Duke of Paraon. I swear, I will never set foot in this forest again! Thanks to Linqi, I was not fed to the living tree!
What a bummer! This is the worst night of my life!"
The oracle gritted his teeth, broke off the branch with force, and threw it into the fire.
Half of Paraon's territory is covered by mountains, and the other half is covered by forests.
The famous Ardennes Forest in Bretonnia is safer than here. The threat of beastmen is secondary. The greater crisis comes from the "immortal people" and "living trees".
The Bretonnians refer to the Immortals as Wood Elves.
"Although Parraon is nominally Bretonnian land, I think the wood elves regard the human land as their own home! The gods can bear witness, I just want to light a fire!
Although the elves of Ulthuan are annoying, they will not directly endanger my life unless I meet extreme members of the elves.
The wood elves are as civilized as their clothes, and they greet me with arrows!
To me, Dark Elves are pretty much the same as Wood Elves!"
"I'm beginning to doubt whether it's a good idea for Lin Qi to take me to the Athel Loren Forest."
If Eugen hadn't set the branches on fire in front of the Elf Ranger, perhaps Lynch wouldn't have had to get into any trouble at all.
This is just like cursing the dwarfs' ancestors in front of their ancestral graves. " On the sixteenth day of the summer month, we found an empty village. Lin Qi said that all the residents here were taken away by the forest. I think this is a credible judgment because the living trees are being planted back into the soil by him."
"Perhaps the residents here have offended the trouble-making forest spirits. I began to sympathize with the wood elves. They are like slaves of the trees, driven by the trees to "protect the forest." " . "On the eighteenth day of the summer month, a Paraon knight drove away a "fairy" who was looking for a human baby under my watch.
I foresee what they are trying to do by seeking out human infants, and believe me, you don't want to know.
Do not trust the elves, and do not trust the trees, for they will not trust you either. ” . “On the twentieth day of the summer month, there was a war.
Duke Paraon and his vassals passed by Linqi and me, and Linqi said that the knights of the kingdom who returned from the expedition had taken back their land. "
“There are rumors that the Parravons and the Wood Elves have renewed their peace, but this peace will never last.
I think they are planning to get some money from the border of the Empire to support their long-term tug-of-war with Athel Loren. I hope this idea will not come true. "
“The good news is that we are beginning to see Bretonnian villages more frequently and are able to experience the simple local customs firsthand.
The most backward village in the empire is no more than this. If you want to experience the pastoral life, the wealthier Bretonnia is a good place for you.
The connected fields, the sheep driven by the shepherds, the oxen working in the fields, and the villagers using various tricks to hide their harvests and reduce taxes.
They rarely even have gravel roads.
You won't find shrines to Ulric or Sigmar in Bretonnia; instead, you'll find temples to the Lady of the Lake and churches of mercy in Sharya.
From what I have observed, the latter are more popular among the common people, and some even believe that the Lady of the Lake is the maid of the Goddess Shaurya, because the Holy Grail Knights, who are most favored by the Lady of the Lake, treat them more gently.
I can guess that they dare not tell the nobles face to face, because the Supreme God in the hearts of the knights is the Lady of the Lake, and even the Holy Grail Knights will not tolerate such heresy. " . "On the twenty-fifth day of the summer month, after passing the tower of the last Palaon Castle, we are about to reach the border of Athel Loren.
To be honest, I'm already hesitant. Athel Loren will never welcome humans, not even Lynch.
According to legend, there are two demigods living in Athel Loren. They are heroes in elven mythology and the continuation of the elven gods on earth.
To the forest, we are all upright invaders, no different from beastmen, even if we are not aggressive.
I don't know if it's the Wild Hunt Season now, and I can't go against Lynch's wishes. I don't think Athel Loren can go against a persistent lizard man either.
That would be a disaster." . "On the last day of the summer month, Lynch heard the sound of the Grismeri River flowing. I certainly don't have such a good sense, but I foresaw it." Eugen shamelessly polished his image, but Lynch, who knew his records, believed that these diaries would most likely be labeled heresy by the Empire.
Since Eugen is not a Sigmar, his efforts are in vain.
The border between the human and elf kingdoms is an intricate network of forests that even the most ignorant person can see is not naturally formed.
Eslay hopes that the Bretonnians will stop the Chaos Warriors further north, the Beastmen within Bretonnia, and not go a step further.
Frequent frictions caused the elves' rules to become loose, and sooner or later the conflict would completely intensify, because the wood elves were not completely the masters of the forest. . "On the first day of the Pre-Secret Moon, we passed by a forest pool, and several Bretonnian women were taking a rest by the pool.
No offense, but sleeping here unprotected is not a smart move.”
