Reborn as the Lord of Another World

Chapter 40

The firewood pile burned fiercely, but Goron Wimbledon didn't feel much heat.

Although this is a large tent made of cowhide stitched together, and the bottom circle is also tightly pressed with soil, there should be no leaks, but he still feels cold all over, especially his toes, which are almost numb.

"This place can freeze even with a pee," he spat, stood up, grabbed both sides of the table with both hands, and lifted it with force. The veins on the back of his hand suddenly bulged, and a six-foot-square solid wood table suddenly left the ground.

After placing the table next to the fire pit, Goron felt much more comfortable. He took off his shoes, put the soles of his feet on the fire to bake, spread out a paper roll in his hand, and continued writing the unfinished letter.

"To my dear Livya."

"I've been in Hermes for over a month now. Of course, the Church guys prefer to call this place the New Holy City. If it weren't for the Evil Moon Convention, I wouldn't want to stay here for a moment. I just want to go back to your cabin and share a warm bed with you."

Thanks to the covenant, the army that monitors the church's every move has become their ally. This is really ironic, isn't it? Speaking of the church, I have to admit that everything they have done is truly amazing. I remember when I first came here twenty years ago, Hermes had nothing but mountains and stones. The towns established by the church are all at the foot of the mountain. But now, they have not only opened up roads for carriages to go up the mountain, but also established a large-scale fortress city on the mountaintop.

If it's summer, you should come with me to see. The new holy city they talk about is even more magnificent than Graycastle. Do you remember the theater in the King's City of Graycastle? You and I went there to watch The Prince's Revenge. You marveled at how clever the theater's design was and how spacious the interior could be.

But if you see the martial arts arena in the new holy city, you will find that the Graycastle Theater is nothing. If you call it a building, I think it is more like an exquisite work of art. The space is as big as five theaters, but there is no stone pillar to support it. Eight things like giant beast bones protrude from the outer wall, and many branches and hemp ropes are connected between the curved beast bones, hanging the entire roof in the air like a boom. How did they come up with it?

And those bones, if peeled off from the demonic beast, I bet that guy must be over a hundred feet tall. It's probably only possible to encounter such a monster in Hermes. But dear, don't worry, even if the demonic beast is huge, it's just the claws of the hell devil. In front of the God's Punishment Stone, any evil cannot escape the sanction of the gods. Whether it's the demonic beast, the witch, or the devil itself, their fate will only be ashes.

At this point, Goron Wimbledon put down his pen and shook his slightly sore hand. Strangely enough, holding a fifteen-pound two-handed sword can last a whole day, but holding the pen and only writing a few words makes him tired. He laughed at himself and said, I am indeed more suitable for doing rough work.

Speaking of demonic beasts, I suddenly remembered that my fourth younger brother was assigned to a poor place like Border Town. I'm afraid he has already fled to Longsong Fortress with his tail between his legs - even though the demonic beasts there cannot compare with those in the Hermes defense line. This cannot be blamed on him. Even if I go to that kind of place, I can only take refuge. From this, we can see how unfair my father is. Just because my second brother has been exceptionally smart since childhood, he decided to let him inherit the throne? Father has forgotten that he did not win the throne of Graycastle by being smart. Since my mother passed away, it has become increasingly difficult for me to understand his thoughts.

The following content made Goron hesitate. He didn't know whether he should tell Livia his true plan or not. After a pause, he decided to continue writing. If the plan goes smoothly, he should have arrived at the palace of Graycastle when this letter arrives.

Dear, Master Ang is right. If I do nothing, the throne will definitely not belong to me in the end. He has observed this from the stars. "The Apocalypse Star is moving away from the Blazing Sun, and it will completely leave its orbit in at most four months." Master Ang told me so. Obviously, there is not much time left, and I cannot wait like this anymore.

After today's battle, I will quietly return to the capital with my loyal soldiers. The richness of Hanfeng Ridge is far inferior to that of Jinsui City, but there is no shortage of brave warriors here. As long as I throw some coins and promises, they will pounce on my target like hungry wolves. Of course, I don't want to do that. I just want to ask my father personally why he issued such a childish order to fight for the throne, and what made him forget that I am the one with the first inheritance right.

Master Ang has arranged everything for me. Livya, my love, wait a little longer. When I become king, it will be the time to marry you as queen. If I unfortunately fail... you don't have to return to the capital and live well in Cold Wind Ridge.

Love you, Goron.

He carefully folded the letter and put it in an envelope, then sealed it with wax oil. After checking it several times, he knocked on the table and a soldier quickly walked in outside the tent.

Deliver this letter to the rose in Cold Wind Ridge. You don't have to travel day and night, nor ride a horse. Dress up as an ordinary traveler and take the business caravan that travels between the two places. Just remember one thing, this letter must be delivered by hand.

"Yes, His Highness the Prince!"

"Very well, you can go." After Ge Long waved away the guards, he simply sat down at the table, with both feet hanging together on the fire pit.

In this way, there is no turning back.

He closed his eyes and recalled the scenes of his childhood. At that time, he played hide-and-seek with his younger brother and sister in the palace garden. When his sister fell down, the two of them insisted on accompanying her to fall once before giving up. Since when did the three of them gradually become as strangers as they are now?

Goron shook his head and put aside his confused thoughts. Being sentimental was not suitable for him. He thought that these confusions would eventually have an answer - after he sat on the throne.

Just then, a dull horn sound came from outside the tent.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo ———————」

He's here! He jumped off the table and put on his shoes. As he walked out of the tent, the entire camp was already in motion. Running soldiers and flags merged into rapids, gathering towards the predetermined battlefield. A murky echo came from the distant mountains, stretching endlessly.

The horn sounded and evil beasts attacked.

"Follow me!" He rode the war horse brought by his guards and ran towards the top of the city wall.

Only by standing on the city wall of the Holy City can one feel its grandeur - it is like an insurmountable barrier, standing at the break of the desperate mountain range. The top is flat and wide, allowing dozens of people to pass side by side. In front of it is a cliff composed of glaciers, and behind it is a flat plateau terrain.

This is why the church is desperately trying to build the new holy city on the mountaintop.

Taking advantage of this terrain difference, they built a defense line that was almost impossible to break through.

However, Goron Wimbledon had a longer-term vision. Being able to transport so much stone and wood from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain and build a city on Hermes in just twenty years, the strength shown by the church was already astonishing.

However, no matter how much he hated these charlatans, Goron had to admit that if he did not support them in defending Hermes, all countries on the continent would face a catastrophe. This was also the basis for the signing of the Evil Moon Convention.

When the Month of Demons descends, the four kingdoms bordering Hermes must send troops to support the church and fight together with the church's judgment army.

The four flags on the city wall stand in the wind, with the "dawn" of the snake scepter, the "wolf heart" of the crossed sword and shield, and the "eternal winter" of the iceberg rose.

And the "Graycastle" of the tower spear.

Looking at the black dots appearing in the distant sky, Goron Wimbledon clenched his great sword.
