Legendary Hero

"Black Sea Cliff, Gaoshan Town. These two place names are really appropriate."

On a hillside with a wide view, Luo Lin looked at his territory from afar and couldn't help sighing.

Ahead is a high cliff facing the sea that is more than 50 kilometers long, with black dark rocks, howling sea wind, and turbulent waves. The air is full of a salty and salty smell, as if you can directly pinch salt grains from the air . The so-called Gaoshan Town was built on the sea cliff. The terrain was very high, but the houses were low and dilapidated.

As for the farmland... You can't see this thing at all in this entire area. It can be said that there is almost no grass growing on the ground. Luo Lin jumped off his horse, squeezed a handful of soil from the ground, crushed it, and tasted it with his tongue. A bitter taste.

The taste was bitter all the way to his heart, and he couldn't help but smile wryly: "Brine all over the ground...it's no wonder it grows grass."

The housekeeper, Kanado, had already been mentally prepared. Before he came, he made careful preparations and explained calmly: "Lord Rollin, this entire Black Sea Cliff cannot grow crops. The only source of income is the sea. Fishing. So almost the entire Alpine town is fishermen."

"Fisherman? It looks like I won't be able to get any taxes from my territory in the future. Look at those people, they look pale and emaciated. I guess the fish they usually catch are not enough for me to eat." Luo Lin sighed, turned and asked Kanado: "However, my territory has a radius of more than 50 kilometers. There should be a slightly richer place, right?"

"Instead, there is a piece of land that goes 20 kilometers deep into the land. There is a hill of wild bears. There is an oval basin with a diameter of about five kilometers in the hill. Because there are hills blocking it, there is basically no sea breeze in the basin, and the soil is still there. It is considered fertile, but the only problem is that the place is too small and the traffic is blocked, so no one has been developing and constructing it, so the basin is still occupied by forests." Canado said.

This news finally gave Luo Lin some hope. He didn't bother to go to this extremely poor and impoverished Gaoshan Town. He turned his horse's head and said to the people around him, "Then let's go to the basin to have a look."

The whole group had no objection, and no one wanted to blow the sea breeze on this depressing sea cliff, so they all followed behind Luo Lin.

Twenty kilometers is not too far, especially since there are almost no plants on the ground in this area, and there is no obstacle to walking, so after only two hours, everyone came to the so-called Wild Bear Hill.

The soil quality in this hill has changed, the vegetation on the ground has become more and more dense, the previous gray and dark color has been replaced by a piece of green, and everyone's mood has also become more comfortable.

"It looks good, but the mountain road is a bit steep." Luo Lin is basically satisfied, but the peaks in this hill are not low. , coupled with the woods and vegetation blocking the way, it is extremely difficult to travel all the way.

Helpless, Luo Lin could only order to get off his horse, pick up his sword, and together with the hired mercenaries, chop trees and mow grass at the front, and open the way for the mages, housekeepers and others with ordinary physiques behind.

"That's why I said that the traffic in the basin is blocked." Kanado said: "Few people are willing to come to this place, because there are terrible brown giant bears living in this mountain forest."

"Luo Lin, wait!" Dai Wei suddenly yelled to stop Luo Lin, who was at the forefront holding a sword and chopping thorns to open the way.

"What's up?"

"Look over there, there is a mountain road." Dai Wei shouted pointing to a direction ahead.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lin smiled slightly in his heart, and turned his head to look in the direction of Dai Wei's finger. Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous mountain road where the two peaks intersected and the mountain was gentle. More than one meter wide, the trees on both sides of the mountain road have been chopped down, and the weeds on the road have also been trampled down. It is obvious that people often walk around.

In fact, Luo Lin has long known the existence of this mountain road, and also knows the function of this mountain road. This is exactly what the destruction believers created, in order to connect a hidden altar in the mountain. Of course, the scale of this altar is not large. Big, with their current force is enough to deal with it.

Of course he wouldn't say it, but just shouted: "Maybe it was stepped on by the hunters. Let's go, let's go on the mountain road."

He walked over first, and the others followed.

With the ready-made mountain road, walking became much smoother. After walking for more than two hours, Luo Lin suddenly felt that his eyes were empty, and his vision suddenly became extremely broad.

The terrain in front suddenly became very flat, and a dense forest appeared. The white mist was lingering in the forest, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance. It had a taste of forest sea.

"It is said that the fog in this basin is poisonous. People in Gaoshan Town once tried to go into the mountains to hunt, but after returning from the basin, every hunter would start to get sick and be bedridden. If they are in good health, they can get over it, and if they are not, they will directly Dead, so no one should have entered the mountain these years... Wait, but this mountain road?" While talking, Kanado realized something was wrong.

Looking at the mountain road, it was obvious that someone had passed by recently, which didn't match the information he had heard.

Dai Wei said: "The rumors are just rumors. Maybe someone has found a way to cure the poison, or maybe the white mist is not poisonous at all. Let's go in and find out."

Luo Lin naturally agreed with Dai Wei's statement. He knew that the fog was not poisonous at all, and everything was caused by the Destruction Sect.

But it's not early today, and it's tomorrow to go to visit. He told the mercenaries beside him: "Find a flat place and camp in place. Let's spend the night here tonight."

The mercenaries used money to do things, and many of them were members of the Sword and Rose regiment, who knew Luo Lin, so they naturally had no objections, and started to get busy one by one.

Taking advantage of this time, the butler Kanado came over and asked, "Lord Rollin, what are your plans for your territory?"

Kanado didn't pay much attention to the anomaly he discovered before, he believed Dai Wei's statement, and thought it was because the information he inquired about was wrong.

Luo Lin thought for a while, and said, "If possible, I would like to develop in this basin."

"But this mountain...and this forest."

The basin is a good place with potential for development, but this mountain forest blocks the road, even if it can be developed, the potential is not great.

Luo Lin just needed such a secret place, so that he could concentrate on developing his strength, and this basin was not as bad as the world imagined. He knew that there were still some minerals hidden in it.

With a plan in mind, he smiled and asked back: "Then tell me, do I have any other choices?"

Kanado was startled when he heard the words, and then shook his head. This is already the only fertile place on the Black Sea Cliff.

"Hey~" Kanado had to admit this fact, but in this way, the 10,000 gold coins lent by Master Bernard don't know when he will be able to return it.

Seeing that he looked tired, Luo Lin thought he was tired from traveling all day, so he smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will find a way. You have been tired all day, go and rest first."

Kanado resigned, leaving Luo Lin and Dai Wei behind.

"How is it? Did you find out?" Luo Lin asked Dai Wei softly.

Dai Wei shook her head in confusion. She walked all the way, except that she felt that the place was extremely barren, and found nothing unusual.

Luo Lin explained softly: "Canado is a very serious person. The information he obtained is very accurate and rarely makes mistakes. The news he heard that hunters will not go into the mountains may not be correct, but it is definitely worth paying attention to. You Looking at this mountain road again, it is obvious that it has been trampled on for a long time, which means that people have been entering the mountain all the time, rather than entering the mountain because of the recent changes in the situation, so the situation is abnormal."

"Can't it be stepped on by a hunter?"

"It's not a hunter. As far as I know, experienced hunters go hunting in the mountains, they don't just take one mountain path, they are good at finding animal paths, or make animal paths by themselves, and then set traps. So if they are hunters, we will always There should be other mountain paths on the road, but in the current situation, there is only one road."

Speaking of this, Dai Wei has already understood a little bit. She frowned and pondered for a while, showing sincere admiration on her face: "Luo Lin, you are right, this is really weird. This mountain road is like Someone specially drove it to enter the basin, but the problem is that we have also seen that this basin is deserted, so why are they entering the basin?"

The instructor always praised Luo Lin's observation and reasoning ability. She was still a little dissatisfied before, but the longer she got in touch with Luo Lin, the more convinced she was.

"This is exactly the problem." Luo Lin smiled slightly: "Humans are humane, beasts have animal ways, and ghosts also have ghost ways. These people are acting so secretly, and they must be doing things that cannot be seen. It seems that we need to be more vigilant. gone."

Thinking of this, he waved to a silent dwarf in a cloak in the team: "Saledo, come here."

Saledo also followed him. In order to conceal his identity, he kept a low profile all the way and never spoke. Now when he heard Luo Lin's call, he trotted over in a hurry and said flatteringly in a low voice, "Master, what are your orders. "

"Didn't you say you were summoning the Lion's Mane War Demon a few days ago? How's the progress?"

"I've already got in touch with a war demon from the lower plane, but the rewards I can promise are too few. He doesn't like to talk to me, but he just refuses to sign a contract with me." Saledo looked bitter.

"What reward do you want?" Rollin asked.

"The best reward is of course the human soul... Uh er, mage Dai Wei, I have already turned from darkness to light, of course I won't do that, don't worry. The next thing is all kinds of magic power. The devils in the lower planes are all They like to devour magic power, which is almost their universal talent."

Saledo looked at Dai Wei humbly. Although his magic power was stronger than this little girl, he couldn't afford to offend Luo Lin. The relationship between the two was so close. If he provoked Dai Wei, Luo Lin would definitely punish him , So in his heart, Dai Wei is now the third person who cannot be messed with, the first is the archmage Vianna, and the second is Luo Lin.

"Magic power?" Luo Lin took out the small package Vianna gave him, dug into it, took out a fist-sized emerald green crystal and threw it over: "Life crystal, is one enough?"

This crystal was used by Vianna to save Luo Lin's life. It was only three pieces, which were very precious, but the powerful force of the Lion's Mane War Demon was worth his consumption of one piece.

Saledo's eyes suddenly brightened, he jumped up, caught it with both hands, and then looked upside down in front of his eyes, and praised in his mouth: "So pure, so rich... Enough, absolutely enough. No, I have to give up the previous one. That war demon, this crystal is enough for me to sign a contract with a higher level demon."

Luo Lin frowned slightly and asked, "How long will it take?"

"Soon, very soon, there are many powerful alien creatures who are willing to obtain the life crystal, don't worry, if you are lucky, it will only take an hour!" Saledo held the life crystal tightly in both hands, as if he had obtained a peerless treasure .

"That's good, go get busy, don't let me down!"

"Of course, of course." Saledo walked away dancing with the crystal in his hands, looking very excited.

Looking at his back, Dai Wei still didn't understand Luo Lin's actions: "I don't think you should trust him so much, Luo Lin, this guy's power is very evil."

Luo Lin smiled. This is a gap in ideas. Words alone cannot tell right from wrong. Only time will prove everything. Luo Lin just smiled slightly: "Beautiful Ms. Mage, relax your mind, you'll be fine."

Dai Wei spread her hands: "Well, I hope he won't disappoint."

The mercenaries quickly set up their tents and began to prepare the dinner. Soon, the aroma of the food wafted out. What they were eating now was not the marching rations, but the dried meat that Luo Lin personally purchased in Vendome. Stuff, the taste is very good.

The group of people had been walking for a day, and they were all tired, and it was getting late. After they ate food around the campfire, they went back to their tents to rest.

The forest was quiet, and occasionally a beast roared, but they all appeared far away from the camp and there was no threat.

It looked like it was going to be a peaceful night.

At least in the first half of the night, it was like this, but in the second half of the night, at two o'clock in the morning, Luo Lin was suddenly awakened by the warning message from his brain.

"There are people approaching on the mountain road. The number is six. According to the analysis of the footsteps, the strength of the two is too strong, one is extremely agile, the two are no different from ordinary people, and the other is a giant beast."
