Black sails

Chapter 78 LXXVII. Real Men

Western part of the Principality of Bema.

Huge walled moat.

Here, there is a stunning scenery. It is not a natural mountain range, but a huge man-made wall from an ancient era that has been lost to history. There are extremely obvious traces of artificial construction.

Its origin cannot be traced and has become an unsolvable mystery.

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

It is the only passage blocking the steep mountain passes on both sides. If you want to get from the interior to the Principality of Bema, this is the only way. 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 has the lowest altitude. The place is also four to five kilometers away, and is inhabited by various dangerous monsters. It is completely a restricted area for humans.

This kind of danger also made the Principality of Bema its own country 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 he is, he still refuses decisively. Anyone who can do one plus one math problems can think clearly. If you give armor to others to wear, then you are not allowed to be hung up and beaten?

The emperor never expected that the thing he had supported would dare to betray the enemy. However, it was a terrifying military budget. As the status of the military and police officers in the empire increased, the military expenditures required also increased. It's getting more and more exaggerated. Even if he dominates this place, it will take many years of operation to make back the money. After weighing it, he will let him do whatever he wants for the time being.

After all, the coinage rights have been robbed, and you still have to pay taxes.

The huge wall is completely white, but after years of care by local people, the appearance 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 carved out of the giant wall, which could accommodate millions of people.

Scholars have inferred from its internal structure and the transverse rectangular skylight that it was once used as a military fortress.

Of course, the scholar was sprayed with blood.

What he said was complete nonsense.

Because the Principality of Bema is also stationing 100,000 troops here at this moment, ready to prepare.

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

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

The Principality of Pema can not only earn tariffs from land freight merchants from the giant wall, but also earn tariffs from sea freight merchants on the east coast. It is simply like Qin Shihuang and clones riding on a rocket, winning at both ends.

A city with giant walls.

In a tavern.

The decoration style here makes Ysnv feel like she has returned hundreds of years ago. The stone benches and stone tables, except for the chandeliers and fireplaces that have some contemporary aesthetics, focus on an original ecology.

The Ys daughter Jin Mi'er has never seen Zahak look so embarrassed.

I found him on the road from Linden City to Lavender Town. He had completely lost his strength, fell to the roadside, bleeding in a pool, and was seriously injured.

It took a doctor from the gendarmerie to provide first aid for a whole night, and then 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 a bandage, and a wound on his face had become a permanent mark, making his face suddenly become ferocious. stand up.

Zahak was drinking to drown his sorrows at this time.

Received a letter from the Military Police Guards Falcon.

Zahak no longer needs to return to the imperial capital. He has been demoted two levels in a row. Now he is Lieutenant Zahak. He will be assigned to a small border town to engage in paperwork for the recruitment of gendarmerie personnel.

This life is already wasted.

"Even the sword 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 skills 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 talented people in Aram. Everyone is climbing up. Once my position becomes vacant, someone will immediately take it. Unless we encounter a big defeat and are in urgent need of manpower, you and I will never stand up. , But that’s not easy. The Emperor rules the Western Continent and rarely loses a battle. 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.

"Determined not to do this."

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 back to the Imperial Capital. I want 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.

In this case, it would be no problem to use that disfigured face as a stepping stone to kill him and kill 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 was an engineering boy who was ignored in school, and he always ate at parties, so he had no chance of entering the bedroom with girls.

And now.

The luxurious bedroom is larger than my living room. The furniture is all made of high-grade wood. Both the decoration style and the soft furnishings are the combinations made by top designers who have revised the plans countless times.

Now he wants wind and rain.

But there is such a thing as human beings.

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

Now William has found the goddess he had in college through his own status, but unfortunately, even with his current power, he cannot force her, and neither can the warlock.

Sharon, who was extremely smart, chose the religious leader of the Western Continent 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 did not disdain the priest at all. Everything he did was just for the priest's entourage, 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. He was accompanied by two nuns, both wearing black clergy clothes and nun hats, which added a bit of forbidden desire, at least for William. Say so.

During William's conversation, his mind was entirely focused on Sharon. Her pair of blue eyes, short light blond hair, extremely pretty face, and proud figure were absolutely beautiful no matter where she was placed.

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

"Sharon, I..."

Before William could finish 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."
