It took Chris, who traveled day and night, eight days to reach the other end of the Dwarf Kingdom.

He paid thirty silver coins and asked the owner of a tavern to swear by faith that he would take good care of his horse within a month. He bought a small bag of salt, a large wine bag filled with rye, and then walked out of the dwarf kingdom.

Yes, he plans to come back in a month.

The place close to the dwarf kingdom has been stepped on by many adventurers, and there will be no rare beasts waiting for him to hunt.

If he wants to earn enough gold coins as soon as possible, he can only find valuable prey if he goes far and is not far enough to reach the edge of the terrifying zodiac.

It takes seven days or more, and there is no people along the way.

But Chris, walking alone in the open mountains, felt that everything was very friendly.

Looking around, the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the mountains are better when clouds come, and the mountains are like picturesque when clouds go; the towering trees enter the sky and the clouds are lush and green grass is like green under the trees. The mountain road winds away from the feet, and the grass, wild flowers, stones and trees on both sides of the path are staggered in a staggered manner. The insects that cannot be named in the grass are chirping, and the summer cicadas hiding on which tree are not willing to be lonely, and use loud sounds to awaken the prosperity of the midsummer season.

The mountains are quiet

Occasionally, the breeze blows away the faint heat and makes the longing in my heart ripples.

I have been away from the north for nearly half a year, and I don’t know what’s going on at home now?

Sion should have returned to Eaton territory at this time, right?

I just don’t know if my grandfather and father will confirm my choice after seeing my letter?

............

Unconsciously, Chris fell into thought.

"Cry~~~"

Suddenly, a loud eagle cried across the sky.

Chris, who was awakened, ran to the bottom of the big tree in three steps, looked up through the branches and looked at the mottled sky, and saw a giant eagle soaring in the sky, and his two giant claws were still holding a long thing, and his head and tail were already hanging, and it should be a snake.

Rocky Giant Eagle, the uncrowned king of the Rocky Darran Mountains.

They stand at the top of the entire mountain food chain. Every adult Rocky giant eagle is powerful, and each grazing a territory of thousands of miles. All the flesh and blood in the mountains are their prey, except for the dog-headed man and dwarf. The former's flesh is too smelly to sniff, while the latter's short body makes the giant eagle disdain to hunt.

"Cry~~~"

The eagle cry that resounded through the heaven and earth came again, accompanied by it's figure that escaped into thick clouds.

Chris was shocked and envious. Compared with these Rocky giant eagles, he seemed insignificant and had a long way to go.

Fortunately, he is still very young.

"Bah! Damn long-haired bird, I'm scared to death!"

A very abrupt curse sounded.

Chris pulled out his knife and turned around to look at a large rock beside him. The sound came from behind the rock.

A figure emerged at the right time, and the brown shoulder-length hair was not tied up. It seemed that it had not been washed for a while, strands stuck together and hung on his face. This was a man who was about forty years old. He had traces of time on his face. He was not very strong. He also held the half-chewed rye bread in his hand. A very common long sword straddled around his waist, and his clothes were dirty, full of mud and other dirt.

His first reaction when he saw Chris was to throw away the bread and reach out to draw his sword. His movements were not very straightforward.

The clumsy movements made Chris feel much more at ease in an instant.

"Who are you?"

The two people spoke in unison.

The older one was the one who had been lifted out of his guard first, and he hung his sword first.

"Ri'an, beautiful young man."

He raised his hand to greet him, showing a kind smile, "I am Kurt, an adventurer who comes here to find beasts to exchange for ale."

"Ri'an, Kurt. I'm Chris, a traveler who comes to find some excitement."

Chris also slightly flattened his sword to show that he was not hostile.

Both sides greeted each other very politely, which relieved each other's vigilance.

Kurt directly inserted his sword into the scabbard, picked up the black bread two steps forward, blew the dust and gravel on it, and leaned against the rock and slowly gnawed.

This action also allowed Chris to see several small rodent prey under his feet.

He also understood that Kurt was silently declaring that he had occupied the area in advance and expressed his unwillingness to cooperate with others to hunt - either Chris left voluntarily now, or he used his long sword to drive Chris away.

This is also the tacit understanding of people who come here to avoid conflicts.

Because there are too many things to stab the knife in the back, adventurers are used to solving the dangers in advance.

Seeing this, Chris, who had no intention of hunting here, put away his long sword and strode deeper into the mountains.

"May God of Light protect you, young man!"

When he walked a little further, a blessing came from behind him.

He didn't look back, but just raised his hand and shook it to thank him.

So he didn't see it. Kurt's eyes kept chasing his back, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that was about to bloom without letting go.

The melting snow water from the Rocky Darran Mountains flows into a large lake here, and winds out along the valley and pours into the terrifying siege of snake people living in. Land lizards and alligators live in the large lakes and rivers, treating all the wild beasts coming to drink as prey, the difference is that one is in the water and the other is on land.

The common point between the two is that their leather can be sold at a good price.

The leather of the alligator is hard and light in weight. After tanning, it can resist the piercing of crossbows. It is the most popular leather armor in human countries such as light cavalry, archers and crossbowmen. The leather of the land lizard is very soft and elastic, and has a comfortable ventilation after tanning. It is the favorite chain armor village of the knight - the land lizard leather village of the leather can greatly buffer the attack strength when the knight is hit, and it can protect the knight's internal organs from shock.

They are also prey for Chris' trip.

First of all, each of their leather is worth more than ten gold coins.

If the quality is intact, you can have a few more gold coins, which is very tempting for Chris who is in urgent need of raising money.

Moreover, this is also the last prey he is confident of hunting.

Another reason is that no one disturbs you.

The lake is already very close to the terrifying siege, and occasionally snake people appear here. Few people come here at the risk of being chased by snake people.

Moreover, land lizards and alligators are not so easy to hunt.

These big guys, who are generally over five meters long, have infinite strength and are cruel in nature, often treat adventurers as prey.

However, for Chris, who started hunting alone in the Alps at the age of fifteen, killing these guys who are not considered ferocious beasts is not a difficult task.

It took him only four days to lure two land lizards into a trap with the corpse of a rock sheep.

One big and one small, the price should be about twenty gold coins.

If every time goes so smoothly, I should be able to catch up with the next time the dwarf prospects, right?

Chris, who was walking on the way home with leather on his back, thought so in his heart.

At the same time, he was also regretful that without his partner's help, he could only carry back the leather of two land lizards at a time, so that time would be wasted on the road.

Surprisingly, he met Kurt again in the shop where he entered the Dwarf Kingdom to acquire fur.

The older adventurer, who sold a lot of rodents, received only one gold coin and thirty silver coins.

The intersection of the two officially began at this moment: when the shop owner was picky about the leather pattern of the landing lizard not being beautiful enough and was only willing to pay eighteen gold coins, Kurt, who was about to leave, turned around and cursed, "Crazy dwarf, your integrity is not as good as a dog-headed man! These two landing lizard leathers are worth thirty gold coins in any shop!"

As soon as these words were said, Chris immediately knew that he was too young and made others feel that he was bullied.

After taking thirty gold coins from the reluctant shop dwarf, he sincerely thanked Kurt.

"Young man, your thanks are insincere."

Kurt smiled brightly and pointed to the tavern not far away, "Don't you think it would be better to express your gratitude if you spend a few silver coins to treat me to a few glasses of rye?"

Of course Chris would not refuse his request.

After this little episode, in the next month, the two of them would greet each other warmly every time they met, and their unfamiliar friendship gradually became familiar with each other while drinking with each other.

Finally, once Chris was about to go to the Great Lakes, he met him waiting along the way.

"Dear Chris, your character allows me to expose my back, and your strength gives us the opportunity to earn more gold."

He said so, and invited Chris to cooperate in hunting blue-tailed weasels.

Blue-tailed weasels live in the mountains and forests by the lake. The fur, minions, etc. are not valuable, but they can sell fifty gold coins with their male reproductive organs! Because after being refined into potions, older nobles or rich people in the human kingdom can pay hundreds of gold coins to regain their strength.

Kurt is very good at trapping blue-tailed weasels, but he does not have the ability to protect himself on the lake.

So he needs the long knife in Chris's hand to ensure safety and the profits are distributed equally by two people.

Chris went happily.

Because he had figured out Kurt's details.

Through the words of the tavern owner and other adventurers, he learned that Kurt was the escort of a lord in the Middle Earth Plain before. Later, he had no choice but to escape because of a drunken man. He had worked as a mercenary and caravan guard, and was a down-and-out adventurer who had a home and could not return.

His strength is very average and he may never be the peak of a warrior in his life.

So it is difficult to live a prosperous life with the sword in his hand. Neither the mercenary group nor the caravan will give him a generous salary. Instead, he cuts wood and camps to clean up horse manure and other work that farmers and slaves can do.

Since I am destined to live in a lowly way, I will just drink and get drunk today.

That's what he thought and did.

He knew that the Rocky Daran Mountains was an unmanned land, with many wild animals, and they all came here to stalk for some small prey to fill their belly rye bread and ale mixed with water.
