Chapter 73: The Imperial Capital, Edelmarion (1)
Once we passed through the northern mountain range, a peaceful journey ensued.
There were no monster attacks, nor was this region infested with bandits.
No matter how decayed the empire might be, it wasn’t rotten enough to neglect the security of the capital’s surroundings.
By some stroke of luck, we encountered rangers at the mountain’s base.
Though they gave us the kind of look reserved for lunatics when they realized we had crossed the mountains during this season, it was a fair reaction. There was no counterargument to their perfectly reasonable disbelief.
The rangers, who were monitoring the mountains to ensure no monsters emerged, provided their escort thanks to the authority of Dersian and Baron Esquente.
One of them, perhaps out of concern, shared some advice about the area.
“It’s better to take a detour around the mountains during this season. I can see you’re skilled, but the northern mountains are unpredictable right now.”
