It is the most beautiful season for the grassland. Looking down from the sky, the vast grassland is like a blue blanket made by the most exquisite craftsmen. Strong winds blow by, and the grass bows its head and wrinkles appear in waves.
, like ocean waves, revealing the livestock herds scattered among them, like gems of various colors dotted on the blanket.
On this endless grassland, a carriage was advancing slowly like an ant.
Geer was sitting in the carriage, with flowers and plants collected casually along the way in front of him. He took them one by one, took a bite, chewed a few times, and a bitter grass juice with the scent of green grass overflowed.
of the mouth.
"Among the analyzed ingredients...the analysis is complete, the name is unknown, it is classified as a weed, and can be eaten as food. Side effects: It will cause mild diarrhea, please name the host."
"Named Weed No. 57."
"The naming is complete, Weed No. 57 has been recorded."
After finishing recording, Geer stuck his head out of the window and spit out the residue in his mouth. Then he took out a purple-red flower in front of him, observed it for a while, tore off a petal, and carefully put it into his mouth.
Start chewing.
It was sour and tasted okay, but soon a numbness filled my mouth.
"Among the analyzed ingredients...the analysis has been completed. The name is unknown. It is classified as flowers. It has the effect of paralyzing nerves. Side effects: It will cause slight damage to conductive nerves. Long-term use will cause muscle spasms. Please name the host."
"Named Anesthesia Flower No. 3."
"Name completed."
After spitting out the residue, Geer picked up the water bag and rinsed his mouth before continuing his previous actions.
It didn't come to an end until the wooden table in front of me was completely empty.
After obtaining the data storage module, Geer began this kind of environmental recording work. This was an instinct born from long-term training in his previous life. A general-purpose infantryman like him often not only needs to participate in battles, but also records various rapidly changing situations.
Feeding environmental biological data back to the base for analysis is also one of his basic tasks.
Now, apart from traveling and practicing swordsmanship, there were no other major things to do, so Geer started this work instinctively.
Regarding Geer's behavior, Lucaline and Iona across from him regarded it as his special hobby and didn't pay much attention to it. Besides, they also got some benefits. Now they like to eat the bluebird fruit that Geer named
This was how Geer discovered the wild fruit. In the past, only birds and beasts would eat this kind of unattractive wild fruit.
For Geer, this kind of habitual work can also play a role in enriching the database, which will be convenient for querying and calling when needed in the future.
Just now, he has discovered several plants of good value. When he returns to San Rotalo, he can try to plant them. It may also be a good source of wealth.
"Sir, these were collected this morning." A package of things was handed in through the car window. It was Clemmy. After recovering from his injury, he is now responsible for forward security work, and by the way, he helped Geer collect some plants that can be seen everywhere.
.
After all, this is not a peaceful place. Small groups of horse thieves are a specialty of the grassland. They come and go like the wind at extremely fast speeds. If no one is there to investigate, they might not realize they are being attacked until the enemy rushes in front of them.
.
In the past few days after entering the grassland, Geer and his party have been attacked by small groups of bandits three times, but were repelled by Geer and the others. The horse Clemmy is riding now is the trophy obtained after such battles.
However, these bandits were extremely alert. Once they saw that they could not be defeated, they would immediately turn around and run away. They would disappear into the meadow at half a person's height and lose sight of anyone. It was not easy to annihilate them.
What makes Geer even more troublesome is that as they go deeper into the grasslands, horse archers begin to appear among the less popular specialties in the grasslands. In this case, the danger begins to increase sharply, although it is still there for the time being.
No one was injured, but the few arrows hanging on the carriage were not just decorations, they were constantly reminded of the dangers of the grassland.
Along the way, the carriage also passed several wrecks of convoys full of corpses, all of which had obviously gone through fierce battles, which made the group's nerves a little tense.
However, the investigative capabilities of both Geer and the Bryan brothers are trustworthy, so large groups of robbers can be avoided in advance along the way, and small groups of robbers are not a threat to the group, so the safety is still very high.
"Thank you, thank you." Geer took the cloth bag handed over by Clemmy, and when he looked outside, he could only see his back that had moved away.
The rolling sound of carriage wheels continued to enter the carriage, and the carriage shook rhythmically with the sound.
Although the sun cannot shine directly into the carriage, the temperature in the afternoon is still a bit high, and the carriage seems a bit stuffy. Except for Geer who continues to complete his work professionally, Lucaline and Iona are both a little dizzy. Sitting down
Going outside the car to get some air would be a good option, but it was not something they considered.
Beautiful women are a very attractive resource on the grassland. Except for a small group of bandits who happen to run into a broken carriage that doesn't seem to have any oil, no one will come looking for trouble. But once two beauties are added to it,
It's not the same thing, it's enough to attract many "flies" to come one after another.
Gudu!
The wheels passed over a larger stone and made a sound. At the same time, the car body shook quite a bit, causing the three people in the car to bounce up to the rhythm.
Geer still held the plant steadily with his hand and brought it to his mouth without being affected in any way. Iona, who was dozing on her side on the carriage, looked around with some sleepy eyes, changed her position and continued to doze. And Lucaline
Not as calm as the previous two, he raised his head and rubbed his temples, took out a water bag and poured some water on a dry towel, and wiped the sweat from his face with the towel, making his whole body feel a little refreshed.
Smelling the faint stinky smell on her body, Lucaline frowned and began to complain: "It almost stinks. I just washed myself in the creek three days ago. If this continues, everyone will stink."
Smoked.”
"Be patient, this is the route with the shortest distance between water sources. Just hold on for a few more days and cross the grassland." Geer spit out the residue in his mouth and said with a smile.
"Hey, now that we are so close, it smells like sweat." Lucaline rubbed her eyebrows with a look of helplessness. As a pampered young lady, she finally had a deep understanding of the inconvenience of traveling.
Understand, this is not something that can be learned from books. After more than ten years of living habits, the current situation really gives her a headache.
"Ida, how long will it take to get to the next water source?" Geer knocked on the front window of the carriage and said loudly to Ida outside.
"We can reach it in two days. It's a small stream." Ida's voice was carried into the carriage along with a strong wind.
After getting the answer, Geer shrugged at Lucalin and was helpless.
"It would be nice if it rains." Lucaline tilted her head out of the car window and looked towards the sky, hoping to find clouds that would bring showers. Unfortunately, the sky was clear, like a room that had been visited by a creditor.
, the sun is the only master left.
Amidst Lucalin's lament, the carriage drove for more than an hour.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew against the carriage and rushed into the carriage through the front window, bringing a rare coolness to the carriage.
But with this gust of wind, Geer's expression suddenly changed, his nose trembled slightly, trying to distinguish the smell inside.
After a while, he shouted to Ida who was driving: "Stop the car, there is a smell of blood, there is a fight ahead."
"Is he a horse thief?" Lucalin looked at Geer.
Iona also woke up immediately.
"Probably, the smell of blood is very new, but it still depends on Clemmy's investigation results." Geer nodded,
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard, followed by Clemmy's shout.
"Quick, prepare to fight, the horse thieves are rushing towards us!"
