Chapter 166: The World a Demon Lord Only Knows (3)
* * *
Our group traveled on the Empire Road. The stone roads that were built throughout the continent thousands of years ago when an ancient empire had control of over half the continent were still being used to this day. Thanks to this, we were able to move at a stable pace while pulling a carriage.
I was surprised by the scenery that greeted us. The Frankia Empire was no different from France in my original world. When I thought of France, I would often think of wide and peaceful fields. However, what I saw after crossing the border was completely different.
Forest. Forest after endless forest―.
Thin and dry winter trees surrounded us on all four sides. It felt like tens of thousands of snakes had frozen in place. Open fields where trees had been chopped were a very rare sight. Once we got to the top of a hill, I could see that the forest stretched out all the way to the horizon.
I have never felt anything in particular while looking at natural landscapes; however, I was overwhelmed this time. I learned that if you leave nature alone, then it would propagate to a creepy degree.
I stared in astonishment at the sight.
“The scenery is quite different compared to Habsburg.”
“It shows the strength of the lords in the area.”
