Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 223: Edge zone

Diller Aesop adapts quickly in the team. In fact, halflings are not much different from humans in terms of appearance and appearance, except for the characteristics of thick body hair and shorter stature than humans.

Often mixed in the human domain, halflings often consider themselves as human beings when facing various alien races, so that they can gain more convenience in various social behaviors such as negotiating trade or negotiating.

Diller just clung to this point, and often ridiculed Stant the Lizardman for this reason, and then the two constantly quarreled and slashed at each other. Seeing how good their friendship is, Saul feels relieved.

It feels like Diller has some shadows of Shuggs, who likes to say strange things and is the same as cynical, of course there are more differences. It's just that every time he mentions thieves, Thor always thinks of Shuggs habitually.

There were no more twists and turns on the next journey, but the closer to the border that Thor said, the more desolate it felt. This desolation does not refer to barren terrain such as deserts, but refers to the scarcity of people.

Kennardze was the main town of the last territory that everyone came to, and it was also the last marked human gathering place on the map.

However, according to locals in Kennardze, there is nothing left to travel north.

In addition to large tracts of woods, thorns and weeds, it is said that there is an orc camp in the northeast. Then there is a backward human village in the north and northwest, where life is difficult and resources are scarce.

After nightfall, the four members of the team sat around the dining table, making the final preparations for the journey.

This kind of preparation is mainly psychological. After all, the four of them are very clear about where to go and what to do next. It's just that it seems a bit sloppy to plunge into the desolation like this, so the necessary psychological construction is still needed.

"Actually, my hometown is a small place called Gray Screen Town in the south. It is located on the border of the southern mainland. It is backward, barren, blocked, and difficult to live. It is almost the place where we are going now." Sol said with a nostalgic smile. Kicked off the conversation.

"So you want to say, you walked around and actually returned to the starting point of Grayscreen Town?" Beth distributed food to everyone, and smiled and looked up at Sol. She didn’t know anything about Sol’s past. Many, Sol rarely looks back.

"It is, but it is not. Although my journey has been intermittent, but now looking back, the route did cross the entire continent, from the southern border to the northern border, and these two borders do have a great sense of similarity. ."

"It's not because it was like this when you were young. When you see a mountain, you always want to go over the top of the mountain and look at the other side of the mountain. Maybe when you reach there with exhaustion and exhaustion, you will find the scenery on the other side of the mountain. It’s actually no different from here."

"This result was actually vaguely guessed before I embarked on the journey, but the important point of the whole thing is not what you found on the other side of the mountain, whether it is worth your time and life, but I need this The process of crossing."

"Only by experiencing and verifying, maybe I can settle down and do something that I should have done." Sol's tone was a little sorrowful, and he made a summary of his long journey that took three or four years.

"I think Saul said it very well, but in fact I also have this insight, but I am not good at expressing it."

"My hometown should be a place similar to yours. To talk about adventures, I can actually complete this process at my doorstep, but I still traveled through most of the continent of Salvinia to come here."

"But if you want to ask me what I'm looking for, I feel a bit unspecific and can't explain it clearly." Lizardman Stanter held his hand with a thoughtful look on his face.

"You have a fart, Greenskin, to say that you are really terrible in this regard. There is nothing to look back on in my past. It is not exciting and exciting, and the sadness is more trivial, nothing more. To say that I am interested now, yes Later." The halfling Diller spread his hands, not forgetting his habitual mockery of Stanter.

"His future is my future." Beth smiled, put her little hand into Sol's hand under the table, and held it tightly.

"Okay, for the future." At the same time, everyone raised the jars in front of them and knocked down the cups in the air.

"I may never have told you about my purpose of establishing a territory. I came from the southern border, and the dark council in the southern border stretched out too long, causing me to lose some important people. I also ran to the southern main city to make a big fuss. It’s been a game, and my name is still on their wanted warrant."

"The main reason for establishing a territory now is that when anyone dares to reach out in the future, I will no longer be so passive and can't protect anything." Sol explained his purpose, and also pointed out his identity as wanted. .

Stanter and Diller were stunned by the new news, but they didn't seem too shocked. They didn't even care about Sol being wanted in the South.

"Most human beings are despicable, this is some insights from my travels." Stanter said.

"Well, I agree with Green Skin!" Diller spread his hand.

"Actually, after meeting the two of you, I suddenly had some new ideas about territorial construction. Perhaps, we can build a free city where all foreign races can live in peace? I mean based on territories, gradually moving towards towns. Direction development."

It wasn't a whim that Saul said that suddenly.

Mainly now, Stanter and Diller are both foreign races in the team, dragging them to build a territory, it feels like helping humans. Even if the territory is built in the future, they may not have any sense of belonging.

This is not the situation that Sol wants. Sol hopes that they can participate from the bottom of their hearts and do it with the spirit of building a home.

Another reason is that Sol can foresee the biggest difficulty of the territory in the future, and may still have to return to the population. Whether to absorb alien races is a problem that will eventually be faced in the future.

Playing the banner of the "Free City" can also add some appeal to the new territory.

Although there is already a free alliance in the north, the so-called ‘freedom’ is only aimed at the human race. And across the entire continent's north and south, the acceptance of foreign races has always been very limited.

"This...it should not be easy." Stant and Diller were a little shocked at Sol's idea, but in the end they just sighed, who knows what will happen in the future?

"It's really not easy. Anyway, let's work hard in this direction in the future." Sol didn't brag about anything blindly, but set a shallow tone so that everyone would have a vague direction in the future.

Taking the initiative to lift the jar, Saul touched everyone.

"Then which village are we going to next?" Beth took a sip and put down the jar.

The map is not very useful right now. After all, everyone is about to reach the border. According to the news, there will be a small village in the north and northeast. Beth asked where Sol would like to choose as the team's foothold.

"First, go to the'Tide' village in the northeast to take a look. It's about seven days' journey, and then turn to the'Gray Stump' village in the north. It's another four days' journey. You may have to work hard next."

"In short, first go to both places, take a look at the local living standards and surrounding properties, etc., and also find out if there are any specific threats in the surrounding area, but that's a matter of waiting for us to decide where to stay, you guys What do you think?" Sol asked his friends at the table.

Everyone nodded one after another, and couldn't talk about hard work, and this distance was not worth mentioning.

And now that he has come here, no one has any experience in territorial construction. Since Thor has a clear direction, so be it.

With a clear direction, everyone dispersed and went back to the room to supplement sleep.

On the second day, the four set out from Kenadze and headed straight for the tide village. Judging from the name of the village, it seemed to be a village closer to the endless waters outside the mainland.

In fact, the two villages of Tidal Village and Ash Tree Stump should belong to Linhai Villages, but it is said that there is an extension of an unknown mountain that blocks the Ash Tree Stump and the endless sea, and Sol is more inclined to set his foothold in Ash. tree stump.

Because it is close to the mountains, there will be a chance to find mineral veins, and the advantage of mining stone will not be able to run away, and it can increase the construction speed. And the only advantage over the Tidal Village may be the acquisition of fishing and hunting, provided that there are no dangerous enemies in the sea.

Everyone walked briskly, and finally reached the tide village after almost six and a half days.

Similar to what Sol had imagined, this small village was not much different from the original Gray Screen Town, and it was backward and closed.

There are two guards guarding the entrance of the village, one at the first rank and one ordinary person, who seems to have a certain degree of defensive power. Moreover, judging from the ruddy complexion and slightly sturdy figure of the two male guards, the village should not be too short of food.

The four of Sol behaved very friendly and entered the village as travel adventurers. As for the integration of the territory, it will be a matter of the future if it is going to be annexed.

I found a farmer in the village, and everyone was inquiring about the news while eating. Instead of running around blindly with a few of them, it was undoubtedly faster to ask the locals directly for the news.

The entire village is small in size, with more than 20 households and a population of less than 100.

The main way to obtain food is wheat farming, hunting, fishing and hunting. However, as Sol predicted, fishing and hunting is one of the most helpless methods, because the sea is not calm.

Except for the seaside area surrounding the area is not very flat, there are occasional wandering beasts coming to harass, which is not a big problem.

The entire village does not have any special products in the strict sense. When the furs and some folk handicrafts in the village accumulate to a certain amount, the village will send a caravan to Kennerzawa Territory for trade.

As for the inside of the small village, there are also bazaars, but the scale is pitifully small, and it is more like an internal replacement of materials by one's own people.

There is almost no currency circulation in the whole bazaar, and the trading method still stays at the ancient bartering.
