The Rise Of Rim
Chapter 17 - The nobleman roden

"Are you from the first wave?"

A man suddenly called out to them from behind.

The shocked Louis and Edgurt immediately turned their bodies around.

"Yes, we're from the first wave" Louis said.

"I'm grateful that you survived, your strength will be much needed" the man said.

When Louis looked at the man, he was an old man with white hair, a wrinkled face and lethargic eyes.

Don't look at his face, his body was covered in luxurious armor, so he must be a noble.

"I'm Ertul mores from Roden" said the man.

So he's a roden town noble? It looks foreign.

"I'm edgurt burnley from pompey,"

"Louis of oirat,"

"ah! You burnley nobleman? You must be the son of the brute, seeing you as big as this makes me think of the past," said Eertul.

"You know my father?" Ask Edgurt.

"Of course, he's my best friend, we were partners in the war against Noryn's invasion,"

"I was so happy to meet my father's best friend, it made me more confident on this expedition,"

"Haha, oh yeah, by the way, I remember you had a little brother, where is he?"

Edgurt was speechless to hear that, he wanted to tell the truth, but was reluctant for a moment.

"My sister... He disappeared in this forest as we were chased by wolves" said edgurt sadly.

"What?! She disappeared?"

"That's right,"

"Then we should go look for him!" Shouted ertul.

"We've traveled all over the forest, but found nothing,"

"It's hard enough to say he's not dead, we better pray to the god Hector for your brother's safety" Eertul said.

"I do it every hour" replied Edgurt.

"Just calm down, after we start the second wave, we'll go to the wolf king's lair, I heard there are a lot of rim prisoners, may your sister also be included,"

"I hope so,"

Hoping to be one of the rim's powers, Edgurt desperately wants to save his sister, a strong trust begins to appear in his heart to follow this expedition.

If the rim had won, would the wolves have been slaughtered? Louis thought about what depric said back then.

But rim can also experience defeat, alpha wolves are already difficult to face, what about the wolf king?

However it was in his view, so far, he had never seen rim warriors fight with their auras, so he could not decide to what extent the rim would go.

"You must be tired after a long expedition, come with me, there's plenty of food here" Eertul said.

Immediately, Eertul walked forward, followed by edgurt and Louis behind him.

As they walked further, Louis saw the whole assembly, he could not say it was a tent, nor could he say it was a simple fortress.

There were no tents to warm themselves, to sleep, they built moats around trees to protect themselves from snowstorms at night.

Secondly, this was not a simple fortress, when a king started an expedition, they would build the fort as a gathering point for his entire army.

Usually the gathering point is equipped with wooden walls cut down from the surrounding trees, although small and short, then build a moat around the wall for external defense.

Why didn't they build it? Although it was not a wooden wall, a barbed fence might be enough, were they too lazy to build it? Or not thought of.

Louis thought that even before the rim attacked, he was worried about the defenses around this three-coalition society.

A watchman? A stakeout? Not even enough, wolves are able to mobilize troops faster, let alone they have alpha who can rule and think.

"Alright, we've arrived, let's sit down," said Eertul.

He let us sit under a tree, there was a bonfire and stones around it for a replacement seat.

Edgurt and Louis sat on a rock and warmed themselves in front of the bonfire, they stretched out their hands and did so for a long time waiting for them to pick up food.

Ertul gave them a freshly cooked meat, Louis did not know what it was, the texture looked like beef, but he did not know the taste.

Seeing the edgurt beside him devouring the meat, Louis also had no choice but to do so.

He devoured the meat, Louis felt a strange taste in his mouth, of course it was meat, but it did not taste like beef, lamb or chicken.

This meat was softer and felt stronger in his mouth.

"It's blue venison,"

"Blue deer? I hear it's expensive" said Edgurt.

"Hm... Is that expensive for you?" Ask ertul.

Edgurt immediately smiled in embarrassment, for nobles like himself, eating expensive meat was his daily life.

Unlike the common folk, they only ate demon beef whose texture was not soft.

"By the way, Mr. Louis, your name doesn't sound like an oirat, are you from the outside?"

'Again about my name I'm sick of it!' thought Louis.

"Yes, I'm not from the oirat,"

"You must be a mercenary, seeing you become a mercenary at such a young age is a rare thing, I'm sure you're very strong,"

"Hahaha, I'm not that strong, Mr. Eretul," said Louis with a faint smile.

"Louis is a powerful mercenary, recently he slaughtered the wolf horde alone,"

"What! Really true?" Ask ertul.

Slaughtering wolves alone may be very hard to believe, let alone the young age of Louis making it even more difficult.

"I'm just lucky to be able to do it,"

"You are a great talent, I expect you on this expedition, please cooperate with Lord Louis" he said.

Louis did not expect the Eretul to be so polite even to ordinary people, was not the noble notoriously cruel and cold?

"I will do my best" Louis said.

Perhaps, not all nobles were arrogant, some of them had a sense of empathy and humanity.

"By the way, I have to go to attend the meeting, you can wait here," said Eertul.

Edgurt and Louis nodded. After which, Eertul left the two of them, passing through the many rims that roamed along the way.

Now there was only Edgurt and Louis left, sitting around the campfire with meat in their hands.

"Master is very good, isn't he?" Edgurt started the topic.

"Of course, he's different from other nobles, you're edgurt, too,"

"The nobles are reams, but because their class is higher, they often assume that they are better than ordinary people, even to the point of bragging, but I'm sure not all nobles are like that" said Edgurt.

"I've never met such a proud noble as you say, even you and Eertul were the first nobles I saw,"

"Then your view of nobility can be better than most rims,"

A look at the nobility? On earth, there were also people who were born as the children of rich people whose nature might be like that of a noble in this world.

"By the way, when was the last time you noticed that you forgot your memory?" Ask Edgurt.

"It's in the southern woods,"

"What?! The forest is famous for its monsters and terrible rocks, have you ever been there?" Surprised edgurt.

"I was lying down and I didn't know anything, as I walked, the city of Oirat was the first city I visited,"

"Thank God that it's an oirat city, they're a city that has a good attitude towards foreigners, like dhoren,"

"Yes, they're friendly to strangers, isn't another city like that?"

"No, the cities that can accept foreigners are very few, but our pompey can also accept foreigners, but not as well as the oirat,"

Oirat is a friendly city, Louis is grateful that it is his first city, what if it is another city?

Let alone empathy, with a body without clothes at that time, they would think of Louis as a slave.
