Black sail

Chapter 78 LXXVII. The Real Man

West of the Principality of Berma.

Huge walled moat.

Here, there is a superb view, not a natural mountain range, but an ancient era lost in history, a huge wall built by man, with extremely obvious traces of artificial construction.

Its origin has no trace and has become an unsolved mystery.

The huge wall spreads for dozens of miles horizontally, hundreds of feet high and hundreds of meters wide.

Blocking the only passage through the steep mountain passes on both sides, this is the only way to get from the inland to the Principality of Bema, otherwise you have to climb over the snow-capped mountains with an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. Among these mountains, it is extremely cold and the lowest one The place is also 5000 to [-] meters long, and is inhabited by all kinds of dangerous monsters. It is completely off-limits to humans.

This kind of fortress also made the Principality of Bema a country of its own, and was not divided into provinces by the emperor.

Although the emperor once asked Bema's brain-dead puppet king to cede the giant wall to Aram.

But no matter how stupid the brain is, he still refuses decisively, as long as anyone who can do one plus one math problems can figure it out clearly, if you give the armor to others, then you won't be hanged and beaten?
The emperor did all his calculations and never thought that the things he supported would dare to turn against the water, but it would be a terrifying military budget. It's getting more and more exaggerated. Even if he dominates this place, it will take many years of operation to pay back. After weighing it, he will do it for the time being.

After all, the minting rights have been plundered, and they still have to pay taxes for themselves.

The huge wall is white all over, but after years of care by the locals, the exterior has become green and covered with many deciduous vines, which is quite spectacular.

The most amazing thing is that as early as the ancient era, countless passages, stairs, and stone chambers were dug inside the giant wall, which can accommodate millions of people to live in it.

Scholars speculate from its internal structure and the rectangular skylight across it that it was once used as a military fortress.

Of course, this scholar was sprayed with blood.

What he said was complete nonsense.

Because the Principality of Beima is also stationed here at this moment with [-] troops, ready to fight.

Due to the close trade between the east coast and the Far East Islands, this city of giant walls has also become full of vitality and has become a resting place for merchants.

There are many taverns opened near the pass, and the competition is extremely fierce.

The Principality of Bema can earn both the tariffs of land freight merchants from the giant wall, and the tariffs of sea freight merchants on the east coast.

A city with giant walls.

Inside a pub.

The decoration style here makes Yisu women feel as if they have returned to hundreds of years ago. Stone benches and stone tables, except for the chandelier and fireplace with a bit of contemporary aesthetics, focus on an original ecology.

Ysu's daughter, Jin Mier, has never seen Zahak in such a mess.

I found him on the road from Linden City to Lavender Town. He had completely lost his strength and fell to the side of the road, bleeding profusely, in a state of serious injury.

It took a doctor from the gendarmerie to give first aid all night before he was saved from death.

His whole body was covered with open flesh, knife wounds, and crossbow wounds. It was hard to imagine what kind of enemy he had encountered. He was still wearing bandages, and a wound on his face became a permanent mark, making his face suddenly fierce. stand up.

Zahak was drinking to drown his sorrows at this time.

Received a letter from the gendarmerie falcon.

Zahak doesn't need to go back to the imperial capital anymore, he has been downgraded by two major ranks in a row. He is now Lieutenant Zahak, who will be dispatched to a small border town to do clerical work for the recruitment of gendarmerie personnel.

This life is wasted.

"Even the saber was taken away."

Zahak laughed loudly and drank heavily. It was a gift from his teacher to teach him. How could he have the face to face the Sword King of Alan?How dare you say that you are that adult’s student?

Jin Mier didn't care. Although she was demoted to the lowest level of military police, she was sent along with Zahak. Zahak always had the ability and could make a comeback.

"Don't think like that. This is only temporary. When the number of people on the peak is insufficient, we will be transferred back."

Jin Mier comforted.

"There are so many capable people in Alan, and everyone is climbing up. Once my position is vacant, someone will immediately fill it. Unless there is a big defeat and a shortage of manpower, you and I will never recover. , but that is easier said than done, the emperor came to the Western Continent, rarely lost, it's over... everything is over."

Zahak smiled bitterly and asked the waiter for another round of wine.

"In that case, we can only live an ordinary life. Piapan is also dead, so the two of us can live together."

Jin Mier blushed a little, lifted a strand of hair and put it behind her ear.

It seems that he has bottomed out and his fighting spirit has been aroused.

"It must not be so."

Zahak will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. No matter how shameless he is, he can only ask his teacher. Even if he stays with his teacher as a follower, it is better than working as a clerk for several years.

"Let's go, let's go back to the imperial capital, I'm going to find the teacher."

Zahak made up his mind. He already had a goal. If he wanted to kill the Black Sword Mingyan of the Royal Guards, his current ability alone was not enough.

That being the case, it would be no problem to use that disfigured face as a stepping stone to kill him and his father-killing enemy.

At this moment.

in Aram.

William is now a court sorcerer and train operator, with an unparalleled reputation.

in those days.

He is an engineering guy who no one cares about in school, and he is also an honest eater at parties, and he has no chance to enter the bedroom with girls at all.

And now.

The luxurious bedroom is even bigger than my own living room. The furniture is all high-grade wood. Both the decoration style and the soft furnishing are the collocations made by top designers who have changed their plans many times.

Now he wants the wind to win the wind, and the rain to win the rain.

But humans are such things.

I have always been troubled by the things I couldn't get when I was young.

The goddess in his college days, now William has found it through his own status, but unfortunately, even with his current power, he can't force it, and neither can the warlock.

Sharon, extremely smart, chose the first brother of the Western Continent religion to protect herself.

She had joined the Order of Eternity as a nun many years ago.

In the Western Continent, no one dares to touch anyone from the Eternal Sect, even a nun.

But today, William got an opportunity to communicate with the priest of the Eternal Sect. Of course, he didn't care about this priest at all. All he did was for the entourage of this priest, Sharon.

He looked at himself in the full-length mirror, looking graceful and luxurious, wondering if this outfit was to Sharon's liking.

noon.

The priest arrived as promised and chose to meet at the most upscale restaurant in the city. There were also two nuns accompanying him, both of whom were wearing black clergyman's clothing and a nun's cap, which added a bit of forbidden desire, at least to William. Say so.

During William's conversation, all his thoughts were on Sharon. These blue eyes, short pale golden hair, incomparably pretty face, and proud figure were all beautiful no matter where they were placed.

Soon there was an opportunity. The priest had to go to the bathroom.

"Sharon, I..."

Before William finished speaking.

Sharon once found a reward notice during a church visit to the Principality of Bema, and she recognized who it was.

In fact, she always knew where Li Site was and what he had done, and she was paying close attention silently.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in traitors and cowards, I only like real men."
