Looking at the magnificent city wall, Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and raised his palm to block the blazing sun above his head.

The city wall was made up of huge boulders. The city gate was five meters wide and eight meters tall. There was a towering arrow tower on each side of the city gate. It was like a guard guarding both sides of the city gate. Patrolling warriors could be seen everywhere on the high wall.

In front of the city gate, there was a stone arch bridge. The arch bridge crossed the Treasure Sword Sea and flowed through this inland moat. It was built far away in the port area of the city. At the very front was a huge lighthouse built on black rocks and facing the sea.

The castle gate in front of Qin Lun was the most famous gate in the Ferren Continent, Bird’s Gate. After leaving the Tower of Durrag, their misfortune seemed to have finally come to an end. Although there were still some low-grade undead along the way, they did not encounter any danger that they could no longer resist. They smoothly arrived at Bird’s Gate four days ago.

The Gate of Bode is named after the legendary navigator and pirate, Bodean. He often ventured across the sea of swords and built high towers in his own name to guide ships home.

Thanks to the presence of pirates such as Bodean, this Treasure Sword Sea port, which is itself a small fishing village, has gradually flourished and attracted many merchants and inland farmers to settle down.

Later, merchants and a coast guard consisting of farmers built walls to protect their goods from outside dangers. However, they deliberately excluded the active port areas of the pirates from the walls and imposed entry fees on the pirates and merchant seafarers.

The captains were enraged by their selfishness and refused to pay the entrance fee. When the city wall was being built, Bo De’an happened to go out to sea and did not know about it. When he returned and found that the pirates were locked away outside the city walls, unable to withstand the attacks of the orcs and barbarians, Bodan was furious.

In rage, Bodean led the captains to kill all the selfish and arrogant merchants and peasant captains, and to dissolve the council made up of these prosperous peasants. At that time, only four members of Parliament were lucky enough to survive because they did not support the Parliament’s decision.

After the incident, Bodean paid and ordered the construction of the outer wall to build a new bridge gate in the port area. This was the origin of the Bodean Gate. The orcs were finally defeated by a combination of powerful force and strong defense. Bodean appointed the four dukes to stay at Bodean’s Gate.

After all this was over, Bo De’an went out to the sea to search for the legendary Angele Island and never came back.

Today, this seaport city, which was founded by pirates and survived the chaotic era, has become a free country. Humans, elves, dwarves, barbarians, nobles, farmers, merchants, adventurers, all sorts of people could be found here.

Together with Deepwater City in the north, the port of Karin in the south, and Ascatra, the capital of Amur in the south of the Gate of Bod, it formed the commercial chain along the entire coast of the Treasure Sword Sea.

Each of the four Sword Bay ports had its own characteristics, and the deepwater city in the north was the most capable of accommodating all kinds of continental civilizations. In that city, it was said that even the public enemies of the continent, Zhuo Er, and the orcs, could make public appearances, and no one would specifically target them.

The capital city of Am, Ascatra, has the densest commercial atmosphere. Because of its geographical location in the center of the entire Sword Bay trade circle, it has gathered all the people who worship gold coins. Of course, this kind of atmosphere also caused the undercurrents in this city to surge. There was never a lack of conspiracies and betrayal.

As for the Gate of Bode, which was between Ascatra and Deepwater City, it was a combination of the advantages of the two cities. It has a policy of racial inclusion in Deepwater City, but also gives preferential treatment to businessmen traveling north and south, and seldom levies heavy taxes.

For historical reasons, the city is the most tolerant port for pirates off the coast of Sword Bay. Because of this, the Border Gate’s fleet was very effective. Not to mention Deepwater City and An Mu, even the maritime fleet of the continental power of Karinshan would find it difficult to defeat them.

“Let’s go, let’s go back to the Birunda Pavilion!” Qin Lun pulled his hood to cover the sharp ears of the Moon Fairy and instructed Emily and Lorraine behind him.

The two of them quietly passed through the city gates and headed towards the noble district of the inner city. The lower part of the Border Gate Port District was very different from the upper part of the city where the merchants and nobles lived.

Most of the harbor area was built by Bogart, and its style was wild and unrestrained, which was very eye-catching. On the other hand, the upper districts occupied by the nobles and merchants of the council had more Victorian-style buildings. They had dignified and elegant appearances and were filled with noble auras.

The inhabitants of the port area were mostly civilians, as well as merchant ships, sailors and pirates. Upper City was originally a stronghold for merchants and nobles of the Council. Although hundreds of years ago, Bodean had to a large extent shattered the gap between the two major urban areas, today, the division of the two classes has once again become the main theme.

After Qin Lun and his party arrived at Bird’s Gate, Milleras immediately paid a visit to one of the current leaders of the council, Duke Birunda. Birunda’s title of Duke was not a title in the popular sense, but a permanent post in the Border Gate Council. It had been personally established by Border Ann after the disturbances and has been in use ever since.

Duke Brenda had always had good relations with the elves. Of course, he did not distinguish between the moon elves and the sun elves. In fact, the difference between the Moon Fairy and the Sun Fairy was the leadership within the clan. Their attitudes towards humans and other races were not too different.

Upon learning of Milleras’ arrival, the Duke immediately arranged a residence for them in the noble district and informed the council of the visit of the elven envoy to the Gate of Bird.

In this way, even if the Santalin Society spies learned about them, they probably wouldn’t be able to move before everyone left Bird’s Gate. This was also Milleras’ goal. As for what would happen after that, Milleras didn’t think too much about it, and Qin Lun didn’t intend to ask anymore. In any case, he had already decided to leave Toril World at Bird’s Gate and return to the Shattered Star System.

The reason why he and Rice were still here was because they were waiting for the remaining members of the Lost and Fortress. Although they couldn’t contact any of them because of the distance, Qin Lun and Rice still had a list of surviving members in their Apostle Soul Seals.

Of course, the list of members had shrunk a lot. Lose included Rice, there were still four names that lit up. The remaining three were Kelly, Robin, and Thief Perth.

The losses of the fortress guild were also incomparably huge. Apart from Nicole the Divine Artist and Longer the Thief, the names of the others had actually disappeared, which surprised Qin Lun. Regardless of whether it was Philip or Stark, the youth felt that they had a chance to survive.

Although the members of the fortress team weren’t as powerful as the Lost Team in terms of high-tier props, Nicole, whose abilities had increased to a high-tier state, along with Second Grade veteran MT Stark and Second Grade mage Philip, could still carve out a path of bloodshed among the undead who had lost their unified command in this world.

Although Milleras thought that Kelly and the others would not survive, the shrewd Prince of the Sun Elves did not question their decision to stay. This wasn’t just about Qin Lun. Lorraine and Emily also had companions and teachers who had fallen into the Undead Valley. They also wanted to know about Mage Angelo and Dwarf Elder Loyle.

After arriving at Bird’s Gate, Elistine could only stay in bed for a few days. The backlash in her mental world had weakened a lot. However, because she was chanting elven songs in the Undead Valley and forcefully using a high-grade magic, the Pale Forest, the sequelae were beginning to break out. Right now, everyone was eating, drinking, and eating in their own room. They usually slept after eating, and then ate after sleeping. They looked sick.

Milleras also didn’t go out for activities. He didn’t hesitate to agree to stay at the Bird Gate and temporarily abandon the path of the Ancient Era. Of course, he had his own intentions.

Milleras’ room was specially arranged in a hall. In the middle of the hall was the Uviron obelisk that Qin Lun had uprooted. The Sun Fairy Prince wished he could split it into two. After Duke Birunda provided him with a batch of magic crystals, he began copying the inheritance books of the Uviron Fairy around the obelisk day and night.

Qin Lun agreed to give him a copy of the rubbing book. If he were to copy one less ancient book during the few days he was waiting for, Milleras would not forgive him. Sometimes, too strong a sense of responsibility is not a good thing.

Apart from Qin Lun, no one else dared to enter Milleras’ room. Not to mention the Sun Elf Prince’s increasingly irritable temper due to his lack of rest, even the smell of sour sweat that filled the room was truly unbearable.

“Milleras, stop copying. You should go out for a walk. The Gate of Bode is a good city!” Qin Lun pushed open the door of Milleras’ room, waved his nose and looked at the Prince of the Sun Fairy with a frown.

However, he was stunned for a moment. The obelisk in the hall was still emitting a blurry light. On its base, a magic array was formed from magic crystals. The magic power was continuously supplied to the obelisk, allowing it to continuously display the runes inside.

Milleras, who was supposed to be at the desk behind the obelisk, had disappeared. He could only see piles of neatly piled parchment. This was the book that the Prince of the Sun Elves had copied.

Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders and looked around the obelisk with interest. He was not interested in the elven heritage, he just casually looked around.

This item was useless to the apostles. Even the magic books inside required a lot of time to learn. How could the apostles have such time? As long as the Laws allowed it, they could instantly grasp a spell. In the later stages, they only needed to practice using it.

“You’re blocking my view!” A tired voice suddenly came from behind the pile of books.

“Huala!” The parchment piled on the desk fell to the ground, and Milleras’ messy head poked out from behind the desk like a chicken nest.
