Lord of Riding and Slashing

　　 Amon Mountains

　　 "Master Nord, the Amon Mountain Range is in front of you, and the territory granted to you by Grand Duke Bethe is approaching." A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper said to the teenager next to him.

　　 "Yuanbaili in your territory is all mountainous areas, and there is only a village with less than a hundred people in front."

　　 A teenager called Nord, with black hair and black eyes, wearing high-quality leather armor, wrapped in a black cloak made of cotton, with a one-handed knight sword around his waist, looking calmly at the distant village.

　　 "How many people are there in the mountains?"

"The Amon Mountains are located in the north of the Northren continent. The mountains are endless. It is said that there are uncivilized savages in the deepest part. Moreover, the people of the Amon Mountains are sturdy and live by hunting. The villages on the mountains are far away and no one cares. The number of mountain people."

　　Nord heard the butler smiled, turned on his horse, and said: "Why no one cares, let's go to the village." After speaking, he hurried to the distant village.

Tammy Village is a small village on the outskirts of the Amon Mountains. It is located in the buffer zone only seen in the two mountains. A small amount of flat land can be used for planting crops. In addition, you can go into the mountains to hunt. hard.

　　 Marco is a hunter in Tammy Village. Whenever the village’s harvest is not picking up, he will go hunting with his father in the mountains and honed his skills since childhood. On this day, Marco with a few partners planned to go into the mountain to get some game, and found that two people came from afar on horseback at the entrance of the village.

The two riders galloped from a distance. Seeing that the people on horsebacks are dressed up. They are more gorgeous than the tax collectors who come to the village to collect taxes. I think they must be some big people, so I feel like letting my friends stay on both sides of the road and wait for them. arrival.

The sound of horseshoes approached, and Marco and his friends bowed their heads. It is not the time to collect taxes. I don’t know why these two big men came. Usually these noble masters stay in the manor to enjoy, but they don’t come to this remote place. suffer.

"What's your name?"

　　 "Are you asking me? Master, my name is Marco." Marco raised his head and met Nord's calm gaze.

　　 The corner of Nord's mouth slightly raised, and he looked at the sturdy Marco, and went straight to the village without dismounting.

　　 "Yes, it's you, Marco, take me to find your village chief."

　　 "Okay, sir, you come with me."

　　 After speaking Marco, he greeted the friends and ran in the direction of the village chief.

　　 "Marko, are you planning to go hunting in the mountains?"

　　 "Yes, sir, the harvest today is not good, so I can only go into the mountains and hunt for prey to fill my stomach."

　　 "Don't call me master, I'm Nord Isaac, you can call me Nord. Do you go hunting in the mountains when you are not farming?"

　　 Marco's eyes dimmed when he heard this, as if he was thinking of something sad.

　　 "Master Nord, there is very little land in our village. I don't want to be hungry and can only go to the mountains to fight for my life."

　　 "How dangerous is the mountain? Are hunting casualties?"

　　 "Yes, Lord Nord, my father encountered the giant Amon bear when he went hunting in the mountains a few years ago. Only one of the five companions fled back, and the others died in the hands of the giant bear."

Nord didn’t ask too much when he heard it. He turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment. The Amon Mountains are located in the north. Although the huge mountains block the cold wind of the Arctic Icefield, the northerly wind that blows from time to time still makes the climate here. Become fickle. The roads in the village are a bit muddy, as if it had just rained not long ago, and the wooden houses in the village were also dilapidated. The outside of the houses were covered with animal fur, and there was a stench in the air.

　　 "Master Nord, Grandpa Colin's house is in front of you." Marco pointed to the small courtyard ahead and said to Nord. "I'll call him."

　　 Nord turned over and got off his horse. The village chief’s small courtyard was in the middle of the village. There was a large open space around it. It seemed that it was a place where villagers gathered to discuss matters.

Just as Nord was looking around, Marco led an old man in his 50s and walked over. The old man was wearing a linen robe, washed a bit, but there was no patch, gray hair and face. His wrinkles show that the old man is no longer young, and his calm eyes reveal a trace of vicissitudes.

　　 "Grandpa Colin, this is Lord Nord."

　　 "Master Nord, I don't know why you came to our small mountain village. Is there anything I can do for you?"

　　 Colin looked at Nord up and down, thinking that these two people should be aristocrats. I don't know why they came here and whether they would bring disaster to the village. When I thought about it, Colin's attitude became more respectful.

　　 "No need to be polite, Mayor Colin, I am Noord Isaac. Grand Duke Bethe has entrusted Tammy Village to me. Starting today, Tammy Village will be under the jurisdiction of Isaac."

　　 It was said that Nord took over the fiefdom decree issued by the Noble House from the steward, and showed it to Colin and others after opening it.

　　 "Ah! Lord Lord, Kelin, the mayor of Tammy Village, pays tribute to you. The village tax will be handed over to you after the fall."

　　 After confirming the authenticity of the decree, Colin hurriedly saluted Nord and thought of this year’s harvest. I am afraid that after paying taxes, the village of UU. If you don't pay, the village will inevitably be ruined with the aristocratic temperament, and a trace of sadness flashes in Colin's eyes when he thinks of this.

　　 "It's okay. You take me around the village first. I may stay in Tammy Village in the future. Tell me about the surrounding situation."

　　 "Lord Lord, you can live in my house first, little Marco, you go and clean up the room upstairs, don't delay the Lord's rest."

　　 "Master, you go around first, I will prepare a room for you."

　　 After hearing Colin's words, the butler Abel took the initiative to prepare the room.

　　 "My lord, come here."

　　 Marco led Abel's butler to clean up the room. Nord looked at Abel's butler following Marko, turned his head and said to Colin:

　　 "Mr. Colin, take me around."

　　 "Come with me. The east side of the village is a flat land with about 200 mu of land. This year's harvest..."

　　Nord followed Colin to the farmland, and saw a few elderly farmers in the farmland. The crops in the field were sparse, and some were even withered.

　　Nord sighed in his heart and smiled at the head of the village Colin.

　　 "There is a reason why you brought me here first!"

　　 "Let you see, Lord Lord, after paying taxes in spring, there is no more grain in the village. Now the harvest in the fields is not good. I am afraid that the tax in autumn is..."

"Don't worry, I didn't come here for the tax in the village. There is not much grain in the village. I will work out a solution with everyone. I will not let my leaders go hungry. You don't have to call My sir, you can call me Nord."

　　 "Thank you Lord Nord, you are really a benevolent lord, and may the great Amon God bless you!"
