Warhammer Seal

Chapter 174 Journey to Eschen City

Of course, there is no rush to go to the city of the dwarves. It is now the coldest December of the year, and the snow is falling heavily outside.

Wende is a human being, and he only prefers the two climates of plains and deserts.

Ruixi is a dark elf who only prefers forests and icy wastelands.

The only one who prefers the mountainous climate is the young dragon Burning Feather. She is still very young and does not have the ability to travel with Wende and Ruixi.

Moreover, the mountain is blocked by heavy snow. For those who have no experience in mountaineering, there is no difference in committing suicide when going up the mountain at this time.

At the same time, there was nothing else to do in the castle except shame. Man baldly emptied the dark library in Dunkenhof Castle, and there was no book to read.

Uncle Censer's Gun Workshop doesn't need any help either.

In addition, neither Ruixi nor Burning Feather resisted the icy weather, leaving the castle in a carriage and going to various places to inspect was also in line with Wende's expected plan.

People at the top never know what it's like at the bottom.

Because every time the elector goes out in a high-profile way, he will definitely notify his subordinate nobles a few days in advance, let them repair the roads, take care of the poor, and at the same time show the best side of their fiefdom.

There is no difference in this kind of tacit game in every world, so Wende didn't announce anything to go out immediately, but directly got into the carriage that Vlad gave him.

After 500 years, the interior decoration of this carriage is still as gorgeous as before, but most of the external wood has decayed, just like the carriage of a nouveau riche businessman, without any artistic cultivation, directly separated from the status of nobility.

The horse that pulls the cart is a vampire horse designed by Vlad himself. Vampires can infect not only humans, but also other species, including horses.

Apart from the difference in the color of the eyes from ordinary horses, there is no way to see much change from the appearance alone.

However, after the horse became a vampire, its stamina and psychological immunity would increase to a great extent, and it was not even afraid of Burning Feather's mighty dragon at all.

"Private visits in micro-services? The Witch King also often conducts such activities, secretly observing those nobles who are dissatisfied with him, and then directly get rid of them."

Rui Xi's words just revealed Wen De's purpose. He had exactly this plan, and at the same time secretly observed whether the vampire had any signs of betraying him.

The first stop is the city of Eschen, which is ruled by a female vampire and four human nobles, and is famous for its high-quality wine.

It was reported that the four human viscounts had an affair with the female vampire. Fortunately, the vampire could not get pregnant. The local human nobles were all controlled by the female vampire's pillow wind.

The purpose of Wende's trip is to check whether Eschen City is still under his control, which is the most critical source of resources.

The iron gate of the city was slowly opened, and two human guards immediately ran out of the icy duty room, raised their weapons and stopped Wende's carriage.

"You need to pay taxes to enter the city, and check the carriage at the same time!"

After Man's bald head retreated, the city's defense forces changed from undead creatures standing guard at the beginning to human work.

Wende cooperated, got out of the carriage, and honestly paid the taxes.

The two guards looked at the carriage up and down. Except for a woman and a strange pet, there was nothing wrong with it, but the decoration inside was too outdated.

"No problem, you can enter."

After watching the carriage enter the city, the two guards also immediately turned into the slightly warmer duty room and continued their task of guarding the door.

However, the situation in the city is quite different from what the six vampire maids reported. The two of them parked the carriage and began to observe on foot.

On every street, there are one or two homeless men huddled in the corner, trying to bring warmth by shaking their bodies. Less than ten meters away from them, there are even wild dogs staring at them, waiting to come up as soon as they die Have a good meal.

This scene was in stark contrast to the excitement in the nearby tavern. There was a strong flame burning in the fireplace of the tavern, making the space as warm as spring, and even wearing only a short sleeve would not feel cold. The table was full of An assortment of food and wine.

"The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the road is frozen to death. I always thought this was just a simple poem, and I saw it with my own eyes today."

On the side of the road, several wild dogs were tearing at the body of a little girl. It seemed that she had just died, and the bitten body was still steaming.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, and Wende walked by directly. Perhaps a decree to remove wild dogs should be issued in the future to prevent these guys from digging up corpses and bones everywhere.

At this moment, the window on the second floor of the nearby tavern was smashed by a wine bottle. Rui Xi intercepted the wine bottle with a swift kick, allowing Wende to pick it up from the ground and observe it carefully.

"Bretonian wine, produced in 2500, this is not a wine for the poor."

Looking up at the window on the second floor of the tavern, could it be that there was a dispute between the nobles above?
Casually throwing the wine bottle in their hands at the wild dogs biting the corpses, Wende and Ruixi immediately pushed open the door of the tavern.

The tavern waiter immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, but after seeing Wende and Ruixi's shabby and unfashionable clothes, the smile disappeared from his face as quickly as possible, but the standard waiter Etiquette is not forgotten.

"Welcome, what would you like to have?"

Wen De directly threw a silver coin, and the waiter immediately caught it quickly.

"Who is in the room on the second floor next to the street?"

"Hey, who else could it be? Only the eldest son of the Fosse family among the four nobles would like to reserve that seat, so that he can drink while observing whether his annoying father is looking for him."

"Then did you hear the sound of the window breaking in that room just now?"

"Someone must have hurt his thing again. It's normal. By the way, do you want something?"

"Two cups of mulled milk."

Mulled milk takes the longest to prepare among all the drinks, just enough for Wende to act for a while.

Although it is the entertainment time for Mr. Fuss, Wende also wants to meet with the local nobles to find out if there is anything happening in Eschen City.

He went upstairs quickly, without disturbing any of the guests in the lobby on the first floor, and walked directly to the room next to the road, and Mr. Foss inside didn't seem to care whether his voice was restrained.

"Impossible! According to rumors, the legendary ring that can bring people back to life is in the city of Eschen! It must be found for me!"

It seemed that Mr. Foss was swearing, and just as he finished speaking, there was the sound of a wine bottle being smashed from inside.

This is probably not a good time for Wende to show up, and, the legendary ring he mentioned, isn't it?

　1: In Wessenland, it is a serious crime to name a pig "Magnus".

　　2: Those who obstruct the emperor's ships on the Riker River will be flogged for public display.

　　3: There are too many enemies inside and outside the empire, so for the empire, it is difficult to see a huge prison system. The judicial system of the empire rarely sentences people to "permanent imprisonment". Hard labor to survive, severe torture, or outright death.

　　4: In the empire, every village had a gallows for public executions. (Before the old blood stains on it can be wiped off, there will be new blood stains.)
　　5: The "Knights" of the empire have a high degree of autonomy.The nobles of the empire often "donate" to the knights in exchange for their help when they are in trouble.But the Knights aren't mercenaries, and don't expect them to help you if you're a villain. (unless you give too much)
　　6: Even on the battlefield, the knights will only accept the command of the commander when they "voluntarily". If they think your command is very stupid, they will go home directly or fight according to their own ideas.Most of the time, they are wise to do so.

　　7: The knight order has five levels in accordance with the rules: Grand Master - Instructor - Core Knight - Knight - Attendant.

　　8: In addition, the Knights are not always dispatched for something.Most of the members of the Knights who are active outside are small teams led by an instructor.

　　10: The main function of the wizard's wand is to store the wind of magic and magic, and to guide the wind of magic.

　　11: Not enough words
