Chapter 77: If Nothing Unexpected Happens
As the conflict between humans and dryads intensified, the dryads living in Brokilon Forest also became increasingly hostile towards humans.
If someone disappeared in that forest, there was no need for any investigation.
Dryad arrows were even more precise and sharper than those of elves.
Hearing the witcher's words of refusal, Triss didn't get angry.
She still smiled like a flower.
"Yes and no, witcher. You know quite a bit about Brokilon, but not enough."
"Of course, you can't be blamed for this. After all, you witchers first experienced a schism, and then suffered massacres. It's normal for the lineage to have gaps."
"To be precise, the area where the dryads mainly live is the southern forest, which is the area close to Cintra, Brugge, Sodden, and Verden."
"As for the northern forest, even the dryads don't easily set foot there."
"Don't look at me like that, young witcher. The history of this forest is very long, even longer than the birth of the true ancient races of this continent."
"You don't need to worry about the dryads. They won't be angry because you step on land that doesn't belong to them."
"What you really need to worry about is what I'm about to say next."
Triss picked up her wine glass, took another sip to moisten her throat, and then continued.
"We've just discussed that Brokilon is divided into the southern forest and the northern forest."
"The eastern side of the northern forest borders Temeria, the northern side borders the Kingdom of Cidaris, and the western side borders the Duchy of Bremervoord and the Kingdom of Kaerak."
"If Kaerak's merchant ships want to reach Temeria, they have to depart from their own ports, sail north along the coast, pass Bremervoord, and then sail east to reach Gors Velen, the capital of Temeria's Velen province."
"The journey is not only long and arduous, but also because Bremervoord is a vassal state of Cidaris, and Kaerak and Cidaris have always had some unpleasantness between them."
"Therefore, Cidaris has long prohibited Kaerak's merchant ships from docking at its own ports and those of its vassal states."
"As a result, the merchants of Kaerak have to prepare a large amount of supplies, thus being forced to reduce the goods they carry, leading to lower profits."
"So, some bolder merchants will take the risk and venture along the Adalatte River."
"This river originates in the northern forest of Brokilon, flows through the Adalatte River Valley along the borders of the Kingdom of Cidaris and the Kingdom of Kaerak, and finally merges into the ocean at Kaerak City, the capital of Kaerak."
"The merchants of Kaerak sail upstream, and after disembarking at the source of the Adalatte River, they only need about a few days to walk out of the forest and enter the Velen province."
(PS: The blue line is the fixed sea trade route for Kaerak merchants, and the green line is the shortcut that Kaerak merchants are trying to develop)
