Chapter 309 - 309: Beyond The Mist

"Why are we heading back to the Branch?"

"Because our territory is currently there It's been stagnant there before I was even born"

"What?"

The land area of the Branch was colossal-- alated and put up in a line He had not yet explored its entirety, but he explored enough to know that there wasn't any single area there that ned by one single race

Also, there was the fact that the race of the forest giants was also the iants that have dined in Charlotte's Tavern since Van took care of it could be counted in two hands

Ironically, the ether was when hefor the Branch But the King did mention that they were a nomadic race, so it so in the Branch, where they could visit the other realms as much as possible

But still, Van could not help but wonder where exactly they were staying there

He and Queen Nori were currently on their way to the Branch, walking casually along with so there But unlike the others that were either riding on a giant mount or in a colossal cart, the one that was in the royal fa her oo feet

Van had already asked queen Nori why they were just walking instead of using one of the es that the castle had, but the queen only shrugged her shoulders, saying that it would be faster if they just walked-- that was obviously a lie as another carriage passed by them

"We live beyond the Mist," Queen Nori then followed, "The border between Midgard and the Branch"

"The Mist?" Van had been there before; it was even the first thing he explored as he got to Charlotte's Tavern, as it was only a thousand kiloh the Mist, it felt like he was being encased inside a dense wall the farther he traveled in But if it was beyond the Mist…

"You live in Midgard?"

"No," Nori quickly shook her head, "I already said we live between it and the Branch But yes, in Midgard's perspective, our territory would be beyond the highestas it is attached to the Branch"

"I've been told the huard-- what happens when they try to pass this… mountain?"

"They die"

"How?"

"They… just die," Nori shrugged her shoulders, "What do you think the mountain is made of?"

"Earth?"

"It's made by all the bodies of humans that tried to leave their Realard's universal graveyard; they bury and leave their dead there if they could, in hopes that maybe in death, they will be able to leave their Realm"

"I… see"

Van wished to be surprised, but it would seem that no matter what country, world, or universe, people would alhat they could not have The only difference was that this was on a bigger scale

"Are you sure there's no need to cover yourself?"

As soon as they got near the Branch, Van i further in However, once again, Nori only shrugged her shoulders

"Do you really think anyone would recognizeher clothes and gesturing to herself Unlike the fully e back in the castle, her clothes noere just like any of the other giants that passed by the around her waist, co her look like an adventurer instead of sodom Van could only stare at Nori as she continued to spin in place;more like…

"You really do resemble Artemis, Queen Nori"

"That…"

Nori stopped showcasing her clothes as she quickly straightened her walk She still did not believe that Van could be the father of the first forest giants How could he? He was too sh she had always been told by her elders that she held the same face as Artemis, she had never actually seen her once personally But there were legends and rust giants

For her, it was impossible that Van and she could have children

She needed to know the story behind Van and to finally prove to herself that he was indeed lying Yes, this was the only reason why she ca It wasn't because there was this sudden urgency within her, urging her to help Van in this senseless adventure

"You know, if you tell the Elders the saer I also do not believe you, I a to be civil about it-- but the Elders? They will see this as a h Hu!?"
