The snow started to get heavier around 13:00, and in the total silence, the rustling sound of falling was particularly clear.
"I have to go to the southern fragrant forest!" Looking at the sky again, Neo rubbed his hands and said to Miriam and Diff with certainty.
Dave snorted and turned his head to ignore Neo. In fact, the anger in his heart had almost disappeared, but he was a little embarrassed to reconcile with Neo.
"What are you doing there?" Miriam asked with concern.
"I was discovered when I sneaked into the town and destroyed the Tomb of Wandering Souls. I ran into the Southern Fragrant Leaf Forest with more than 40 dark minions, exhausted them and killed them there. Now I'm going to dispose of the corpses to avoid being buried in the heavy snow.
Can't find them, they are proof of merit, no matter what we choose later, they will be useful."
"Bragging, are there more than 40 minions of darkness, are they all fools? They chased me until they were soft and weak, and then they were slaughtered by you one by one?" Difu curled his lips and said. According to Neo's consistent character and style, Difu actually believed in what Neo said.
I mean, I said that on purpose, just to make a conversation.
"I don't need to brag, but you have to think carefully about how to brag when you meet those powerful people. At least let them know that your lord has fought bravely and sacrificed his life, and his record is shining. There are corpses to prove it. In the battle of Nan Xiangye Forest, we used our weak
Sheng Qiang, all those he killed were the minions of darkness after taking the magic potion. This achievement cannot be erased."
When Neo said this, Diff naturally understood that this was Neo recording his achievements in his and his father's names. In this way, his father's death was even more heroic and dignified, and he also participated in the battle, and
Regardless of the performance, it can be regarded as fighting bravely. It can be said that this is a very important guarantee that Tures will not be confiscated or divided up.
There is a crime of breach of duty in defense of territory in the Fury Alliance code, but it also depends on the specific situation. The number of brave soldiers under a lord is restricted by the system. Everyone knows that there is not even a knight under his command. When the enemy is strong,
With no help, they fought hard and sacrificed heroically. At least more than 40 demonized minions of darkness were eliminated. If they were still deprived of their territory, then if similar things happened in the future, which lord could be expected to fight to the death?
"Thank you." Dave lowered his head in shame. He thought of his disdain for Neo's identity in the past, and thought of the scene where he reported Neo and Miriam's love to his father... Deep in his heart, he had to admit that
, in terms of moral character, Neo is better than him, a noble child who wants to be a real noble.
"Neo, thank you! The Mamores family owes you a lot." Miriam took Neo's hand and said affectionately. He was strong, handsome, intelligent, full of security, and a little bit wild. Miriam liked Neo at first.
Oh, mainly because Neo almost meets all the criteria for a good boy in a girl's mind. But after being in contact for a long time, these reasons gradually faded. Miriam discovered that what attracted her more was Neo's temperament and conduct.
Those shining points are like this time, at this moment, Miriam feels happy, such an outstanding boy is her lover
Squeezing Miriam's tender little hand, Neo smiled slightly: "Those minions of the devil owe too much, and they should make some compensation, even if their souls have gone to hell."
Before leaving, Neo looked at Dev again and said: "Hold your sword!"
Hold on to your sword. This is a common saying among soldiers. It means "be alert, be smart, cheer up, be confident, and don't be like a rookie."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my sister!" Difu's very manly assurance
Neo was with White Socks this time. Wargs were far better at running in the mountains and jungles than horses. Moreover, it was not difficult to walk along the secret path in the forest. It only took ten minutes to leave Beixiang.
Ye Lin
The fields are white, the sky and the earth are vast, the snow is falling quickly and slowly, and there is no wind, so you can't feel how cold it is. If it were in the past, such an occasion and weather would be like taking a walk or having a snowball fight.
It's quite suitable, but now I can't feel that comfortable. Neo doesn't worry about anything else. What he worries about is Miriam's body.
The last snow exhausted the heat in the soil. After this snow, even on the roads where cars and horses often travel, there will rarely be melting snow and slush. Instead, it will simply freeze and ice.
Stacks of snow, real cold weather
The severe cold has already announced its arrival in advance through this snow. For any life that is not fully prepared, this winter will be unbearable, sleeping in deserted mountain caves and trekking through the wind and snow. This is very difficult for a person with a weak constitution who has just lost his father and is suffering from the pain.
For many frightened girls, it will never be romance and sentiment.
"Spend more time to study the reverse use of 'Life Intake'. This should be helpful to Miriam." Neo thought silently, as if he could see Miriam laughing happily and running in the ice and snow.
"That is healthy, instead of being like now, where your hands and feet are constantly cold and you need to sit around the fireplace or fire to spend the winter..."
Arriving at the Southern Fragrant Leaf Forest, the snow had almost buried the hard corpses. Fortunately, Neo was deeply impressed by the chase, and with his strength, it was not too difficult to handle the corpses.
The corpses of demon dogs and demonizers contained dark aura and poisonous substances. Even the carrion-eating beasts were too lazy to pay attention to them. Moreover, there was no need to worry about embalming at this time. Neo picked two natural ravines and moved the corpses to
Once he threw it inside, he wouldn't have to worry about being picked up by anyone except him once it was covered with snow.
This job took almost two hours. During this period, he did not use White Socks to help, but let it play. White Socks was a good partner and an excellent hunter. When Neo finished his work and rushed to the meeting point, he found White Socks.
Socks has already harvested a mountain antelope and two fat rabbits
As soon as the body of the mountain antelope was still warm to the touch, Neo stripped it on the spot and let out the blood.
"Would you like some fresh meat?" Neo asked.
"Ha! Ha!" White Socks exhaled. Seeing the meaning, he was quite interested in Neo's proposal.
Use a dagger to cut off a moderately thick piece of meat from the two hind legs and buttocks of the mountain antelope, apply a cold compress in the snow, and then throw it to the white socks. Neo also cut off a thin slice, applied a cold compress, and stuffed it into his mouth.
, tender and refreshing, with the freshness of ice and snow and the original meat flavor
This way of eating originated from the fish meat eaten by sea people. It was learned by Neo from a young gladiator from the edge of the ice ocean in the gladiator training ground when he was young.
White Socks obviously also likes this way of eating. A mountain antelope almost had its front and rear legs eaten by it.
After eating, resting, and simply tidying up, Neo headed to the Hidden Soldier Valley again with his white socks.
The main purpose of coming back this time is to clean up and prepare every shelter for reuse. This is a habit developed by my father's words and deeds. It is said that it originated from the nomadic people on the grassland.
While collecting the corpses, Neo did some looting and got a dozen dinars, more than a hundred dirhams and some Bahrainis. Together with the harvest in the town and his own savings, Neo got a lot of money.
In total, he has accumulated more than 60 gold coins, more than 100 silver coins and hundreds of copper coins. It is already a considerable income. If the craftsmanship is not considered, it is almost worth the price of a good suit of armor.
With the invention of the steam engine, it has become possible to press plate racks, and some steel mills have been able to roll out good quality steel and pull out something called 'steel wire', which is rolled into small rings when soft and hot.
The made chain mail garments are light and strong, comparable to the sophisticated chain mails of the past. Not only armor weapons, but also entire metal products have been greatly impacted. The workshop industry has gradually lost its former luster, but even so, armors and weapons are still
It is an expensive item and cannot be consumed by ordinary people.
Neo's possessions mainly consist of the armor and weapons, and the money in his hands. However, Neo never feels poor because he is skilled and skilled in craftsmanship. He firmly believes that this is the real wealth.
The wealth that will only accumulate more and more, and the other knowledge learned from books, are all precious wealth. Whenever he thinks about this, Neo will remember the kindness of the Mammeris family. If it were another owner,
, he may not have the opportunity to study. Even if he performs well and has won a lot of face for his family in private competitive gladiatorial events among nobles, he still does not think that this opportunity is what he deserves.
What we realize is that nothing in reality is as it should be, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many injustices, grievances, depression and failures.
"Have a grateful heart, the pure and beautiful soul will not be someone else's soul." This is what Neo's mother taught him. Every time he touches the pendant around his neck, every shining night, every time he transforms into a wolf
Whenever he is young, Neo will think of his mother. She is not a beautiful woman, but she has a heart as clean and translucent as moonlight and as gentle as water.
In addition to gold and silver, Neo also picked up most of the parts that were used to set up the trap. These are all iron materials and may be used in the future.
While cleaning up the smelting furnace, the mass of material refined from the Soul Tomb came into Neo's sight. It was hard to imagine that after cooling, this thing had a metal-like texture and weight, and was even heavier.
"The weight of the soul?" Neo didn't know why such a word popped up in his mind. He thought about it for a while, rekindled the fire, then brought back a few buckets of new snow from outside, and reheated the material for forging.
It didn't take a lot of effort, just made a flat-edged spear with a head and body integrated into it. This spear looks like a dagger without a spear with a gun shaft attached to the back. The blade spine is very thick, like a flat rhombus, so the blade to the surface is excessive.
It is natural and not obvious, and it can also have four blood grooves on both sides of the ridge without affecting the strength of the gun head.
What makes Neo most satisfied is the moderate toughness of the gun shaft made of this unidentified material. That feeling can only be found on white rhino wood (white wax rod), but white rhino wood does not have such weight, and this gun shaft
It's slightly astringent and always cool, and there's no need to wrap it with linen to prevent it from slipping with sweat. In addition, the dark gray color of the stone iron is very unobtrusive, which is also in line with Neo's wishes.
"This is really an unexpected gain!" After dancing back and forth a few times outdoors, Neo couldn't put it down after looking at the gun.
"Man, I can pretend to be a cavalryman in the future!" Neo said to White Socks with a smile.
White Socks glanced at Neo, which seemed to mean: Smelly! You can become a cavalryman with a spear?
It was almost 17:00 when we left Zangbing Valley. The snow had stopped, but the dark clouds had not dispersed. The sky was hazy and dark. It would be completely dark in half an hour at most.
Neo was not in a hurry to go back to the Beilin Cave. He had another purpose this time, which was to go to Kroop. Kroop was in the southeast of Tulip Town. Tulip Town was surrounded by wheat fields, and Kroop was the place where grapes were grown.
On the surface of the park, Tulip Tulip is brewed in Tulip Town, but Neo learned from Miriam that the top-quality Black Iron Tulip is brewed in Kropp, because the winemaker is also a grape grower.
Planting grapes and making wine are the person’s hobby and career
"Stubbornness born of love!" When thinking of these words, the skinny face of the stubborn old man Grapes clearly appeared in his mind. Neo and Grapes met through a misunderstanding, and their relationship was not bad.
When Ao sneaked into the Tulip Town excavation site, he didn't see anyone from Cropp's side. This made him realize that maybe this place had not been harmed by the minions of darkness. If so, he hoped to replenish and repair it here. In addition,
The people here should have a greater sense of presence towards the lord and win over people's hearts. This will be very helpful for Dev to inherit his father's business.
Kropp is a small village with only about 30 households. It is surrounded by woods to the east and a river to the west. To the north is a large vineyard area. The entrance is to the south with low stone walls. As soon as you enter the village, you first see gravel on the west side of the road.
Behind the fence is the cemetery and the adjacent chapel with white walls, white tiles and white roof. Behind the east fence is a small slope. Neo remembers that every summer, this slope is full of wild flowers of all colors.
, and you can often see three or five sheep wandering around. Now all these are buried under the white snow. There is no smoke, no human traces, and no livestock footprints. It is as if the entire small village has fallen into a deep sleep.
Got it
After getting off his mount, Neo patted the neck of White Socks, held a gun in one hand, and walked ahead.
Crunch…
Use the tip of a spear to open the door of the chapel. What you see is several rows of wooden chairs arranged on the left and right. A walkway leads directly to a low podium at the end. Behind it is a stone platform and a life-size statue of the god. Lord Brennes has a lifelike face and a statue of the god.
The surrounding holy light is faint, but these two points mean that it is orthodox and sacred.
He stepped forward, made a fist with his right hand, and pointed the palm of his fist toward the heart on his left chest. Neo saluted the warrior salute to the statue with a solemn expression, then took a step forward, stretched out his finger and wiped it on the podium. There was no trace of dirt.
Neo sniffed, turned around and left the church. He was sure that there was no one in the back room of the church.
Going north along the road, there are sparse houses on both sides, stone-based wooden houses, and two-story spires. Most of the houses in the southern plains of Erdrit Territory have this kind of structure. From the outside, they look rough, like logs.
It's set up, but it's actually not difficult to live inside.
If no one were there, he could hear and smell them even through the door.
The wooden bridge with a grass roof about fifteen meters long made a creaking sound when stepping on the bridge. Neo walked to a place two meters away from the road, stopped, squatted down slowly, and then
He raised his head and looked up at a wooden building more than 20 meters away in front of him. The attic skylight and the window there were open. Although it was dark and he could not see clearly what was inside the window, Neo was sure that there was someone inside.
laugh!
Amidst the sound of breaking wind, a bit of cold light flew out from the darkness behind the window and headed straight towards Neo
He turned sideways and grabbed it, bang! Neo had the arrow firmly in his hand.
He took two steps back. At this position, the ceiling of the wooden bridge had blocked the opponent's sight and the arrow's trajectory.
"Shark-tooth carved feather arrow, military use." Neo recognized at a glance that this arrow was not the kind often used by villagers. It was just carved feather. Shark teeth were the shape of the front end of the arrow cluster. They were made of steel. This pair of ordinary hunters
It is relatively luxurious and usually appears in the military.
Neo didn't know what happened to Cropp, but he was sure that the people who sent out sentries and shot arrows were not the villagers here. Whether it was Tulip Town or Cropp, the population was only that small, and the mobility was very low. They should be acquaintances.
His, and in his impression, Cropp did not shoot arrows so well. He was deeply impressed by the strength of the arrow when he caught the arrow just now. If it were him before his strength was improved, even if this arrow could
Catching it is definitely not as easy as it is now. The opponent has the strength of a level 3 archer.
