Chapter 585 City of Midhillsburg
Signed in 1765, Delarion is still with the card Senric goes to all-out war. This tower is probably the outpost of the Kingdom Army back then, but with the advance of the front line and the establishment of a new border line, it will be abandoned here.

The traces of ignition that Shade saw in the tower should have been left by hunters who passed by here a long time ago.

"This is really Midhill Castle!"

This is what excites Shade the most.

In addition to August Priest, Shade's friend Captain Ladds is also serving on the Windward Path, and the younger sister Black, who he is looking for, Miss White's "missing", is also at Fort Midhill. City vacation.

"I don't know if I have a chance to meet someone I know."

Without leaving immediately, Shade walked around the tower again and found that the lighthouse was actually near the mountainside of Mount Sikar. . Behind the tower is a cliff face that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and standing here, across the lush forests and trees and the towering rocks, you can actually see the huge steam city that stretches to the north from the bottom of the mountain.

The city under the mountain is divided into small squares by the streets. Under the sun, the city built on the foot of the mountain extends to the distant plain. The chimneys spewed black mist toward the sky, and it was only by squinting that one could barely see the tiny black dots moving around the city.

The railway runs west of the city, connecting the northern plains of the kingdom with the entrance to the Rommel Mountains. This is the most important railway line in the Delarion southeast part area. Through this railway, the trade goods and travelers of Delarion and Kasenrick do not have to circumnavigate the huge mountain range that spans the east-central part of the old continent, nor do they have to cross. mountain peak. It can be said that in the peaceful years of 1853, both Delarion and Carsonrick valued the city very much.

Compared to sticking out his head under the sea at Lengshuigang, it was the first time to see the Lengshuigang wharf. At this time, he saw the giant city lying under the mountain from the mountain forest, which gave Shade more shocks:
"It seems that Midhill Castle is no smaller than Tobesque at all."

Because of the distance, it was difficult for Shade to make out the buildings in the city. The only thing you can see clearly is the huge cathedral outside the city center square. He knew that it was the natural church of [God of Nature and Evil Thought]. He had inquired about the history of Midhill Fort and knew that the first person to establish belief in this city was the god of nature among the five gods, the god of all things. host】.

"I can walk around here when the priest is rescued."

Following the instructions on the old tower, Shade made his way through the forest where there was no road at all. . Moving in this primitive forest was more difficult than he thought, but fortunately, he didn't go in the wrong direction. After about twenty minutes, he finally saw a clear path in the forest.

Although the sign of the abandoned tower called this road a "small road" in 1765, it should actually be the main road when entering the mountain from the city. Weeds and trees have been cleared, and the road should be smooth enough for a carriage to travel with ease.

Although there are no street signs, Shade at least knows to go down the terrain. During this period, he did not meet anyone on the road, and after about twenty minutes, he saw the house and the smoke from the kitchen in the distance. After another ten minutes, he finally came down the mountain and entered the southeast area of Fort Midhill.

Midhill Fort is built on a mountain, and it is a city at the foot of the important mountain range Xikar Mountain in the Rommel Mountains in the central and eastern part of the old continent. Originally, it was a castle built to defend against the attack of the Carsenricks. However, with the changes in the relationship between the two countries and the southward advance of the border several times, Midhill Castle eventually evolved into a large city in the southeast part of the kingdom, and became an important transit point for entering and leaving the two kingdoms from the east of the old continent.

Unlike Tobesque and Coldwater Harbor, the terrain of Fort Midhill, the "city of mountains", is generally uneven, because it is located in the Northwest direction of the Western Carr Mountain, so the entire city The south-east direction is high, the Northwest direction is low, and then it extends toward the plain.

At the foot of the mountain is not the countryside, but the suburb of the city built on the mountain. And because of the trade needs of passing through the West Carr Mountain Pass, the infrastructure of the old town at the foot of the mountain is quite well maintained, and there are many official city hall agencies, and even the Midhill Fort Railway Station is at the foot of the mountain, which is not seen at all. Out here is the original urban area of Midhill Castle.

The urban style of this mountain-facing inland city is also completely different from the coastal port and the capital of the kingdom. Although the city can still be seen everywhere smoking chimneys, at least the greening here is comparable. The two cities Shade has been in are far better.

Although the sky is still foggy from the steam industry, there are street trees on almost every street where two carriages can drive side by side.

It's a pity that Shade wasn't in the mood to experience the cityscape of Mountain City this time, and he was still thinking about Augustus priest.

Because I had never been to Midhill Castle before, Shade took a carriage ride into the city on the outskirts of the city and first inquired about the location of the post office with passers-by before buying local tours at the post office. map.

The special border location makes this city a lot of foreigners. When buying the map, the uniformed staff of the Midhill Fort Post Office thought that Shade was also on vacation from the southern capital. to introduce him to the local landscape.

But it wasn't until Shade, in his standard Tobesque accent, started asking about the location of the Church of Dawn, that it was someone from the big capital city.

Although outsiders never think that living in the capital is more noble than other places, in fact, cities such as Midhill Fort and Coldwater Harbor are indeed "country places" compared to Tobesque. .

Auguss priest once said that after the old priests and priests who were called by the Church of the Five Gods arrived at Midhill Castle, they would temporarily live in the local church, and then they would make further arrangements. Although they were called in name for "meeting and group study", no matter how you look at it, you can see that this is not right.

Shade believes that the Church has discovered Augustus Priest's disappearance, and since the Church has failed to save Priest, it means the matter is far more troublesome than he imagined.

"What happened in Coldwater Harbor was a tsunami that drowned the city, and in Tobeysk it was a godsend. I don't know what will happen to Midhill Fort. It can't be more than Tobeysk. Is it too much?"

He hurriedly flipped through the map and moved towards the local Dawn Church two blocks away, while the voice in his heart whispered:
[There should be nothing wrong , is it more dangerous than facing Evil God directly? ]

Shade continued to walk while looking at the map, until the trading company on the corner of the block with a metal sign to buy lumber turned to the residential block with three-story apartments towering on the other side, and then answered:

"Yes, I can even participate in the Evil God's reception, so what is there to be afraid of? So, what happened to Augustus Priest will definitely be resolved smoothly. When the Priest is rescued, I will let him escape. He took me around the city, didn't the priest say before he left that he had been to Midhill Castle when he was young?"

Walking down the misty streets, listening to various People with different accents and languages walk by. Shade looked down at the map, and didn't understand why when the big city player ended, he couldn't rest for a whole night, so he threw himself into the adventure again:

"Rescue the priest, must let him in The best restaurant in town treats me to dinner."
