"It's not a witch (!
After staying in the Nedshire for a period of time, the Lagertis caravan set
off again. They will turn from the Nedshire to the Northern County Province of
Crancia.
After nearly a week's journey, the convoy gradually drove out of Need County,
where there are many hills and forests, to the slightly open Cold Rock County.
The sky was gray, and there was a cool drizzle in the field of vision. The
raindrops dotted the verdant world like threads.
There are patches of grass on the ground, but these grasses are not connected
together, but separated by high and low broken rocks. If you ride a horse
along a straight line on this piece of land, you will jump up or down a'step'
every some distance. These steps are the faults protruding from the rock on
the ground, forming patches of varying heights on the ground.' cliff'.
The deep blue rock feels cold to the touch and is very hard. Such a
distinctive landform also gives this place its name as "Cold Rock County".
Thanks to the special terrain of this place, it is easy to set up defense
lines and checkpoints to resist the impact of the cavalry on the grassland. A
long time ago, the kingdom of mankind used this as a border, isolating the
ancientfia steppe from the north.
Subsequent human kingdoms also successively inherited this idea, with little
change, until the later West Wind and Crancia.
Lorrain Hill was sitting in the carriage with a brown shawl outside the light
red dress to withstand the cold weather. She opened the curtains and looked at
the grass with varying heights in the distance.
"Are those rock-built ruins used to be beacon towers?"
A maid in a black and white uniform replied in the carriage: "Yes, Miss, those
are the watchtowers and beacon towers built or repaired by Xifeng in the early
years."
"My family's ancestors used to fight with the King of the West Wind. Due to
the vast grasslands and lack of water, the King of the West Wind planned to
build fortresses and guard points here and use this as a stronghold to move
north."
"Not only that, but some military lords have been named here to increase the
resistance and prepare for future conquests."
"Unfortunately, the King of the West Wind gradually became in poor health.
Coupled with the issue of heirs, the Northern Expedition was put on hold until
later, when the throne was changed, the power changed, and the country
stabilized again, it was decades later."
"At this time, the monarch is no longer interested in the Northern Expedition,
because the high-level nobles already know that there is not much wealth on
the grasslands, and it will consume a lot of manpower and resources to rule,
and it will be thankless."
"Instead of this, a large number of border commerce has risen, and the lord
who once enshrined the border has also risen. Our family is one of them."
"A large number of sentry towers and beacon towers have been left unused or
abandoned. Now hundreds of years have passed, and most of them have become
weedy ruins."
"Didn't the orc tribes go south to invade?" Lorrain Hill lowered the curtains
and looked at the maid in the car.
"Perhaps there was, but as far as I can remember, and from what I have heard
from my elders, there has been no large-scale orc invasion."
"Why is this?" the girl asked curiously.
"Miss, the orcs are not like we have a unified country, and their various
tribes have a lot of estrangement and struggle with each other."
"The tribes close to the south have made a lot of money by relying on trade
routes and have rich food. Naturally, they have no intention of breaking the
relationship."
"It is the tribes in the north who are really hungry and militant, but they
are not a short distance from the ones in the south. Coupled with the
territorial concept of the southern tribes, this serves as a buffer, and our
borders rarely invade."
"So for so many years, have there been no capable people on the grasslands to
unify the tribes and establish a kingdom of orcs?" Lorrain Hill recalled the
history of the earth.
The Central Plains court often drew in and divided to maintain the dispersion
of the grassland and avoid going south, but even so, there were times when it
missed and overturned several times later.
Although the west wind is strong, not every generation is at its peak and
strength. There are also times of weakness and civil strife.
"This... I'm sorry, Miss, I don't know the reason." The maid lowered her head
apologetically. Although she came from a nobleman and had a certain degree of
knowledge, she knew the history of her family and kingdom, but she was
concerned about the history behind it. The reason is not so deep.
"It doesn't matter, we will see if we go there."
Lorrain Hill comforted the maid and turned his gaze out of the window again.
In one corner of the field of vision, colorful figures and tents began to
appear. At this time, the rain stopped, the sky slowly cleared, and a few rays
of sunlight passed through the clouds. The crevices of the sun shine in the
verdant world after the rain.
As the convoy approached along the road, the noise of loud shouts,
conversations, and livestock chirping gradually became clearer.
Lorrain Hill and Niya once went to the Gufia Grassland, but that time they
went directly to the tribes in the north. He didn't know much about the
southern border, and it seemed to be another scene here.
Compared with the huge Gufia grassland, there are not many tribes close to the
west wind border, but they are also exceptionally moist. In this wild market,
you can see many alien races with animal ears.
They wore leather jackets with colorful decorations on their bodies, and the
ears and horns on their heads were of different shapes. Compared to humans,
they are much stronger and stronger, and they tend to be a bit taller.
However, in the bazaar, people often nod and bow at people. It is these strong
orcs who are cautious.
"Excuse me, what do you think of this, this batch of goods is carefully
selected and cleaned by us, and there is no peculiar smell, please see what it
is." An orc with leopard ears sold to a human businessman.
"Don't go, we can still make it cheaper." The businessman shook his head and
walked away casually.
"Excuse me, how do you sell these herbs, we can exchange them for fur..."
Lorrain Hill stepped out of the carriage, wearing a sun hat with flowers on
her head and a layer of fine veil on her face, and walked into this open-air
bazaar, accompanied by several riders.
With her strength, she naturally does not need human protection, but in order
to avoid unnecessary trouble and harassment, Mira still let several riders
follow.
These riders wear cloaks and armors, which are not easy to provoke at first
glance, and they can indeed serve as a deterrent.
Compared with the orcs on the grassland, the Rabbit Ears are much happier now,
and they look at the strange ‘comrades’ around them with a hint of curiosity.
There are humans and orcs in the stalls and merchants in the market, but the
things sold by humans are different ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the things sold by
orcs are similar.
An uncle with horns was yelling, telling how good his fur is. There are
several thick layers of fur stacked around him. These furs are ** with rope
and placed on a simple wooden shelf, like each color. Gorgeous squares.
Lorrain Hill walked over and looked at the furs nearby. Most of them were cow
and sheep leather, but there were also furs from foxes, wolves, deer and other
animals.
"Can I touch it?" The girl's ethereal and clear voice came from under the
veil.
"Yes, please take a look at this eldest lady." The uncle with horns saw
Lorrain Hill and his entourage, and knew that the origin was not simple. On
the table, choose for the girl.
