People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 267 Mordheim Night

"Further on, we'll reach Mordheim."

Felix kept gesturing with the simple map and it took him a lot of effort to identify everyone's current location.

"Mordheim has been in ruins for centuries. There are not only outlaws there, but also ghosts and the undead," Elspeth recounted his observations. "Although Emperor Magnus led his army to destroy the ruins two hundred years ago... that was two hundred years ago after all."

"It's getting late, we have to find a place to rest." Felix frowned.

They set out from Nuln, crossed Stirland, and planned to turn north after reaching Ostermark, and take a ship to Kislev at Shell Harbor.

Although Mordheim is a must-go.

But they clearly underestimated how difficult the road to empire would be.

For example, there are ridiculous things like Beastmen constantly spawning in the forests of Stirling.

"Let's set up camp outside and no one should enter the ruins." Liu Li thought for a moment and gave his suggestion.

"As long as I can get some sleep." Gotrek didn't have any other requirements.

"I smell a strong smell of death," Elspeth said seriously. "We'd better keep the fires lit all night to prevent any strange creatures from approaching."

"I hope the zombies won't be too noisy." Felix shook his head painfully.

Since they couldn't escape, the four of them had no choice but to move towards Modheim.

Before night falls.

A dilapidated and silent ruin appeared before everyone.

At first glance, all you see are broken walls and growing unknown weeds.

Fortunately, one can occasionally hear the sounds of birds or other creatures, making Modheim no longer look like a huge tomb.

Such an environment is perfect for criminals or vagrants to hide.

Or perhaps, something even more evil and terrifying.

"I'll go pick up some sticks."

They chose a small slope with a good view, and Felix volunteered to collect firewood.

Gotrek stayed behind to light the fire.

Making a fire is not an easy task for a dwarf.

He rubbed the rune axe with a piece of iron, and sparks fell into the pile of wood.

"It's just a trifle." Gotrek laughed, then found a larger tree stump and lay down on it comfortably.

Liu Li took out tents and sleeping bags from the carriage and built a simple shelter for the three of them.

As the only woman, Elspeth would spend the night in the carriage, and everyone said they could understand.

"Lord Elspeth, where is your scarlet dragon?"

After finishing the work, everyone started chatting while waiting for Liu Li to make the broth.

"It's nearby, only appearing when I need it," Elspeth explained to the group. "Usually, it forages for food in the wild, so its whereabouts are uncertain."

The team heading to Kislev was actually four people and one dragon.

The Scarlet Dragon only appears in their sight occasionally, and is mysterious the rest of the time.

"Let's talk while we eat."

Liu Li handed Espes a bowl of thick broth with a fork and spoon.

The fork was convenient for Elspeth to eat meat, and the spoon was used for soup.

As for the others, there are only spoons in the bowls because they usually just grab the food and eat it.

"I'm starving." Felix and Gotrek couldn't wait any longer.

They took a sip of the broth, then grabbed the hot pieces of meat and put them into their mouths.

"It's so delicious!" Felix exclaimed.

"Nothing beats a bowl of hot soup after a long day!" Gotrek said. "Except, of course, hot soup with a bottle of good wine!"

"Enjoy it." Elspeth took out a bottle of red wine from the carriage.

"Thank you so much, ma'am."

Gotrek quickly caught it, filled with joy.

Liu Li picked up the last bowl of broth, chose a good spot by the fire, and drank it mouthful by mouthful with a spoon.

"Your status shouldn't allow you to cook for yourself, right?"

Elspeth drank the broth very ladylikely, chewing the salty and fresh pieces of meat slowly.

The movements are pleasing to the eye and extremely graceful.

After eating simple food with everyone along the way, Elspeth's mentality has changed from initial suspicion to current acceptance.

She turned her gaze to Liu Li.

Felix and Gotrek are both very simple people.

Only Liu Li was shrouded in mist.

After hearing what Espeth said, the other two looked at Liu Li curiously.

"Don't be so stereotypical." Liu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Although I am the descendant of the Dragon Son, it doesn't mean that I am one of those second-generation rich people who live a life of luxury and debauchery."

"During the time when I was forced to go to school, I had simple meals, and only occasionally could I have a feast like you imagine."

"I've only had a few high-end meals, so it's really not as good as some home-cooked fish and meat."

"As for cooking... I can only say that you haven't tasted real Aurora cuisine yet."

Liu Li learned a few tricks from Zu Ju, and often went to the Shadow Crow Guard's teahouse to eat and drink for free.

It’s not the level of a royal chef, but he can still serve four dishes and a soup in a decent manner.

"I've been eating Aurora cuisine for a while, and their approach to food preparation is indeed different from that of the Empire."

Felix recalled the time he spent with Sun Feng's caravan, which opened up a new world of gourmet food for him.

"It's hard to disagree with that," Gotrek agreed with Felix.

When he saw that the ogre was willing to wait for the Chinese to prepare the meal before eating.

He already understood that the dishes cooked by the Aurora people were unique.

"I'll make it for you myself when I have time. It's very simple."

Seeing the curious look in Elspeth's eyes, Liu Li smiled and made a promise.

"It's rare that Liu Li asks us to eat, so we want to eat too." Felix said with a smile.

"no problem."

After eating and drinking, the night gradually deepened.

Everyone was a little tired from chatting, so they returned to their seats and planned to have a good rest.

"I'll keep watch for half the night."

Felix yawned and observed the movements around him according to the planned plan.

Mordheim was shrouded in darkness and eerily silent.

"No one should come to the wilderness." Felix added firewood while reminiscing about the past.

In the flickering firelight, he saw Eureka's beautiful face.

Then the scene suddenly changed and turned into the ugly face of the Strigoi vampire.

Felix cursed inwardly.

He knew that these were all illusions he saw when he was anxious, but he couldn't help but imagine the worst outcome.

"My Eureka, my beloved..."

"I really want to reach you as soon as possible, tell you about my inner struggle, and prove my love to you once again..."

"If you still want, please forgive me..."

Felix let out a long sigh, which echoed far away in the silent night.

The fire was still blazing, but Felix could no longer see Eureka's face.

A crow sat in a tree next to the camp.

He tilted his head and began to look at the group of people.
