Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 9 9.A Piao

The Bitter Winter swaggered to a halt at the mouth of the Grismery River at the junction of Bordero and Mousilon.

At the mouth of the sea, there are cliffs on the Bordeaux side, while the Mousilon side is a low-lying swamp. The height difference between the two sides forms a tall and winding cliff.

Tullis Watch Lighthouse stands on the headland on this side of Bordero. As a lighthouse, it has a reputation as one of the most reliable lighthouses in the old world, although no ships now sail here. In fact, it was the temple of Verena, the goddess of wisdom, and its main purpose was to spy on Musilon. It is said that the priests of the temple can use the powerful magic given by the goddess of wisdom to spy on the entire cursed principality of Mousilon. They refused to say what they were looking for or what they would do if they found it. At the same time, the priests insisted that they could not enter Musilon themselves.

It is known that the prophetesses of the Lake God, and even the Lake Fairy, have visited the Tulis Warning Lighthouse, but the purpose of the visit remains a mystery. The priests here will give advice to those who come to ask for help, and it is good advice. The temple sells many books, and anyone who buys any book here will automatically get a hearing. Priests also sometimes offer unsolicited advice, especially advice to adventurers venturing into Mousilon. To sum it up in two words: landmark.

The people in the Lighthouse Temple must have seen the Bitter Winter, but they could only look at it with big eyes. Darkos didn't believe that there would be prophetesses or lake fairies visiting at this moment, and then a comet Casadora hit the ship. How could there be so many coincidences? Besides, when the comet hit, there were also magical Where's the mast?

Since Duke Leonis, who had long been at odds with Musilon, killed Duke Merovingian in 1814 of the Imperial Calendar, most of the territory in the north of Musilon was annexed by Leonis. Since then, only a piece of land has been left in Musilon. The place.

You can still vaguely see figures of neither people nor ghosts in the swamp. They should be hard-working swampmen, professional snail catchers and frog hunters. Their work is tedious and time-consuming. All creatures in the swamp are legally owned by the lord. To become a swampman requires the acquiescence of the local nobles. Some nobles require a long apprenticeship and an oath. Only when they call themselves swampmen are they allowed to hunt in the lord's swamp. , otherwise the end will be extremely miserable, and will be treated as the crime of stealing the lord's finances.

This group of swampmen must always pay attention to what's going on around them when working. It is said that there is a huge worm in the swamp that can suffocate people. From time to time there were dead floating objects floating in the river, not to mention bandits and beastmen.

The captured prey is then cleaned by the Frogwife, who is not only an expert cleaner of frogs and snails, but is also an important part of the social fabric of Bretonnian villages.

On the deck, the three brothers Darkos, Takaia, and Dastan Lengyan, five Drukki nobles, were basking in the sun and drinking afternoon wine. Franais can already walk on the ground normally, but he can't train normally yet. It has to be said that the elf's physique is really strong.

Darkus wanted to eat trout from the Grismeri River, so the trainers took the dark pegasus out and went to the swamp to ask for some snails from his fellow villagers.

Edmund and the first mate were fishing with some crew members and soldiers, and some soldiers were on guard. Just now, a crew member was so lucky that he caught an Ah Piao. The Ah Piao wanted to climb on the boat to visit, but was stopped by the fearful spearman. He was stabbed mercilessly by the Sky Piercer.

Fortunately, Nat Pagle didn't possess him and fished up the specialty dragon leech in the Grismery River. It was a snake-like undead creature eight meters long and one meter wide. Its skin was soft, slippery, and already rotten. , there are no bones in the body. A mouthpart full of teeth, extremely disgusting.

These five Druchi nobles were chatting about the customs and customs of Bretonnia, from the noble knights to the truffle dogs, and to the tomb of Duke Merovingian.

Darkus sat slumped on the chair, eyes half-closed, legs crossed, leaning on his chin with his left hand, and spinning the flintlock pistol with his right hand, which was extremely comfortable. He told a few Bator jokes casually, which made the four nobles laugh. They didn't know whether it was really funny or not.

Ren revealed his idea of ​​​​exploring, but was ruthlessly rejected by Darkus. Who knows where the mausoleum raised by the knights is, and Merovingian was lying in it waiting to see the light of day again. The armor and black I'm not interested in the Lily Rune Sword Darkos either. A side plot? It doesn't exist. After completing the KPI, he just wants to pass the garbage time. Besides, we can't stay here for too long, and the Bretonnian navy is not just for a living.

Sailing is boring, especially the kind of staring, and the kind of not working is even more boring. In addition to Alyssa, who can also use the crystal ball to chat remotely with the sisters, Darkus, in addition to practicing combat skills every day, is archery. He decided to add three skills to himself, namely cooking, painting and musical instruments. Originally there were four and one Go player, but the Druchi society was really not suitable for this kind of thing. There were no chess friends, and they were too close to each other, and they were trying to cheat in every possible way.

The ship's kitchen is very advanced. The entire cabin is made of Haig Grave's black marble, with an open fire and a bread oven. The fish was killed by the crew, and Darkus, who was powerless, really didn't have the courage to kill a living life.

Darkus used the only ingredients to make a dish of Bato-style baked snails and pan-fried trout, and after finishing it, he sent some to Edmund and the first mate. The four nobles applauded after eating, but Darkos felt that it was just ordinary. It was just cooking. Everyone just had fun eating.

After eating, Darkus exercised on the deck for a while and then went back to sleep.

Now the ship is in urgent need of fresh water. There is not much fresh water left, and it has been left for too long, and green hair has grown on it. Now Darkus drinks wine when he is thirsty. Druchi's body does not need oranges, and there is no such fruit in the plantation of Krakalond.

However, Darkus does not want to land in the exiled land of Mousilon. Who dares to drink the water here? Besides, the knights here all have some weird things, such as bat wolves, blood knights, black knights and strigers. It's a thankless task to catch a bunch of zombies and go back? There are no bicycles for them to pedal in Nagaros, and they don’t need to generate electricity.

The old farmers of Bator, led by Lord Manta Wolf, bravely resisted the Druzi pirates. Darkus didn't dare to think about such a difficult thing.

The ship continued to sail north. After Lyonis annexed Mousilon, it became the duchy with the longest coastline. The coast within the territory is rugged and has many small islands. Offshore currents are tricky for outsiders but easily predictable by locals, and the islands have better harbors than the mainland coast. Most of Lyonnese's coastal villages are actually located offshore, scattered across the islands. Even old farmers in some villages would lure ships to the rocks and then plunder the shipwrecks.

Further north, the Duchy of Le Angoulan has a short coastline and rugged terrain. In most coastal areas, towering cliffs plunge directly into the seabed, and reefs stand out in the water. The currents on the shore are also extremely dangerous, and even with skilled pilots, the boat often overturns.

Dastan Lengyan told Dacus that this place is almost industrialized, and some Druchi captains have even become strategic partners with local knight masters.

The Druchi captains specially brought people to their partners, so that those black blades or unpopular heirs could die gloriously, and the knight master would gain fame. In addition, the knight master will regularly send unlucky people to Nagaroth in the form of goods to experience the local customs and hospitality.

The Black Blade is the illegitimate son of Druchi society, such as Valahar of Hagrid Grave, and Malus Black Blade, the sixth son of Lehan Fallen Blade.

Snakes have snake ways, rats have rat ways. Upon hearing this, Darkus was dumbfounded and his outlook was shattered.

It's really outrageous. Growing up, it's a big departure.
