I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 42 I am their director

Green Water City is not far from Winterhold. With a good carriage and a light load, it can reach the destination in two days.

Before leaving, the Lord of Green Water City prepared a very sophisticated carriage for Wyatt and others in order to make amends. In addition, he planned to prepare all kinds of supplies and money. However, due to time constraints, his preparations did not have the desired effect.

All in all, the Lord of Green Water City was still in a state of anxiety until Wyatt left.

It is unknown what he will do after this, whether to treat Henry and others favorably or to punish the guards involved, in short, it has nothing to do with Wyatt.

The journey over the past two days was very boring, but fortunately it ended quickly, and Wyatt and others arrived at Winterhold safely.

The fortress of Winterhold is built on a high mountain, or rather, it was once a high mountain.

About two hundred years ago, when Winterhold Fortress had not yet been built, the entire Wasteland Territory was in extreme chaos. Due to the erosion of the Dragonbone Mountains, the number of polluted organisms here was several times that of other areas.

Even occasionally, evil creatures will be bred.

The current location of Winterhold Fortress is one of the few small mountain ranges in the Wasteland Territory. Later, due to the invasion of evil creatures, the upper half of one of the hills was cut off.

The military at that time was not as strong as it is now, and it paid a huge price to wipe out this evil creature. It is for this reason that the kingdom attaches great importance to the construction of the Wasteland Territory.

Thus the fortress of Winterhold was born.

The part cut off by the evil creature created a pass between the mountains. If the polluted creatures in the Dragon Bone Mountains want to invade southward, they must pass through this natural barrier. It would be easier to deal with it if they choose to cross the mountains.

As for the evil creatures, the role of Winterhold will be different depending on the degree of danger.

In short, Winterhold is the core of the entire Northern Wilderness and the outpost of the Kingdom of Mayos to resist the pollution of the Dragonbone Mountains.

Wyatt rode a carriage to the top of Winterhold halfway up the mountain. This fully armed fortress was surrounded by thick and tall black stone walls, and its entirety could only be seen from the air.

At the beginning of winter, the cold wind on the mountainside was as sharp as a knife, and frost formed on the walls of Winterburg. The rough stone walls now had the texture of silk armor.

Wyatt shifted his gaze from the city wall and found that the gate of Winterhold was wide open, with a group of fully armed men waiting for him below.

The man standing in the front was wearing armor of a completely different style from the others, with more refined workmanship. His bright red cloak was out of tune with the cold-toned Winterhold, which made him stand out from the crowd.

The breastplate was in the shape of an angry lion. Wyatt recognized this man; he was also very famous in the military.

The Conrad family, the lion of the North, and Raymond Conrad, the most valiant and capable commander in the military.

In terms of seniority, the other party is still one's senior.

Wyatt wrapped his coat tightly, got off the carriage, and led Dorothy and Adela towards Duke Raymond's welcoming team.

"Hello, Duke Raymond." Wyatt extended his hand in a friendly gesture. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a long time, Director Wyatt." Raymond shook Wyatt's hand, but his subordinates took action at this moment and surrounded the three of them. "You suddenly changed your route to Green Water City, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Can you give an explanation?"

"You know, the purpose of my trip is to investigate the traces of the remnants of the Society of the Born in the Wasteland Territory. Naturally, I have to visit as many places as possible. Is there any problem with turning back to Green Water City?"

"Of course, no problem. After all, cooperating with you is the order I received. However, you triggered the evil alarm during your stay in Green Water City. I will investigate this thoroughly."

Duke Raymond's eyes shifted away from Wyatt and began to look at Dorothy and Adela.

Raymond received rigorous military training since he was a child, which included not only knight training, but also courses such as reconnaissance and tactics. He also already had the skills of observing and acquiring information.

The short man immediately took steps shoulder-width apart after sensing danger, and was very alert to his surroundings. He had some qualities, but was inexperienced and his motives were too obvious, which was not good for the current situation. The other person—or should I say, a vampire—did not react much. If he was not experienced, then he was too inexperienced. But he was a vampire after all, so he needed to be especially careful.

As for the gentleman-looking director in front of him, he looked relaxed and unguarded. If he didn't know that he had worked in the military, he might have really thought that he was just a civilian.

Wyatt gradually stopped smiling, and his crescent-shaped eyes opened at this moment. He looked at Raymond's weather-beaten eyes. Wyatt's neither humble nor arrogant aura even gave off a feeling of suppressing Raymond.

"Lord Raymond, do you suspect me, or do you suspect my followers?"

"Please understand, Commander Wyatt, Winterhold Fortress is an important military town in the kingdom. As the Duke of the Wasteland, I must always ensure its safety and not allow anything related to evil to invade."

“So what’s your solution?”

"The Fallen are not allowed into the city."

In an unquestionable tone, Winterhold Fortress rejects everything related to evil. This is the message that Duke Raymond conveyed to Wyatt.

Wyatt looked back at Dorothy and Adela. Their expressions were not very good at the moment. After all, no one would be in a good mood if they couldn't have a warm room to rest after a long journey.

Wyatt turned his head again and met Raymond's gaze.

"no problem."

"Director Wyatt, you have been tried by the Inquisition some time ago. We believe in your nature. Your room is ready. Welcome to Winterhold."

Raymond turned sideways and opened the door of Winterhold to Wyatt.

Separated by a wall, there is a biting cold wind outside and a warm house inside.

Soft bread and warming wine, crackling fire and dry and warm blankets are the things that everyone who is about to experience the cold winter fantasizes about.

Dorothy was experienced, and she, too, had spent winters fantasizing about these things.

She never thought that there would be a day when she would fantasize about these things.

She looked at Wyatt's back. The gate of Winterhold was open to him. He had the opportunity to enter, but she didn't.

After all, they are people from different worlds.

"Have you made a mistake, Duke Raymond?"

"Does Director Wyatt have any other requests?"

"Indeed, I need you to build a wooden house outside the city that can be used for the winter. It must be able to hold a fire, have enough firewood, warm blankets, and enough food for three people to survive the winter."

"May I understand that you refuse to enter the city?"

"That's what I meant."

"why."

"Why? That's an interesting question, Duke Raymond." Wyatt looked around and almost sized up all of Duke Raymond's subordinates. His gaze was chilling. "They are the fallen people I took in. I am their director and I have the obligation to supervise them. Would you abandon your subordinates and enjoy yourself alone, Duke Raymond?"
