Dille Isolt adapts quickly to the team, and in fact, halflings are not much different from humans in terms of appearance and appearance, except for their thick body hair and shorter stature than humans.

Often mixed in human territory, halflings often claim to be human when facing various alien races, so as to gain more convenience in various social behaviors such as negotiation, trade, and negotiation.

Diller just clung to this, often using it as an excuse to ridicule the lizardman Stante, and then the two kept fighting all the way, often drawing knives and slashing each other. Seeing that they had a good relationship, Thor was relieved.

I feel that there is some shadow of Shoggers in Diller, the same likes to say strange things, the same cynicism, of course, there are definitely more differences. It's just that every time he mentions thieves, Thor habitually thinks of Shogues.

The rest of the journey didn't encounter any more twists and turns, but the closer you got to the edge of Thor's words, the more desolate it felt. This desolation does not refer to barren terrain such as deserts, but to the scarcity of human tracks.

Kennezer is the main town of the last territory the group came to, and the last human settlement to be marked on the map.

But according to the locals of Kenadze, further north is not for nothing.

In addition to the large woods, thorns, and wild grasses, it is said that there is also an orc camp to the northeast. Then there are backward human villages due north and northwest respectively, where life is poor and resources are scarce.

After dark, the four members of the team sat around the dining table and made the final preparations for the journey.

This preparation is mainly psychological, after all, all four people know very well where they are going next and what they are going to do. It's just that it still seems a bit hasty to plunge headlong into desolation, so the necessary psychological construction is still needed.

"Actually, my hometown is a small place in the south called Grey Curtain Town. It is located on the border of the southern continent, backward, barren, isolated, and hard, and it is almost the same as the place we are going now. With a smile of remembrance, Saul opened the conversation.

"So you're trying to say that you've walked around and actually returned to the beginning of Grey Veil?" Bez, smiling as she distributed food to the crowd, looked up at Thor, who didn't know much about Thor's past, and who rarely looked back.

"Yes, but no. Although my journey has been intermittent, looking back now, the route did cross the entire continent, from the southern frontier to the northern frontier, and the two frontiers do have a great sense of similarity. ”

"No, it's because, when you're young, when you see a mountain, you always want to go over the hill and look at it. Maybe when you get there exhausted, you will find that the scenery on the other side of the mountain is actually no different from this side. ”

"I had vaguely guessed the outcome before I set out on the journey, but the important thing about the whole thing was not what you found on the other side of the mountain, whether it was worth the time and life you had to expend, but the process I needed to climb. ”

"Only by experiencing and verifying it, maybe I can settle down and do something that I should have done. Saul's tone was a little embarrassed, and he summed up his long journey, which took three or four years.

"I think Saul said it very well, in fact, I feel this way, but I'm not good at expressing it. ”

"My hometown is supposed to be a place similar to yours, and if I want to take risks, I can do it right on my doorstep, but I've traveled across most of the Sarvinian continent to get here. ”

"But if you ask me what I'm looking for, I don't think I'm going to be specific. The lizardman Stant clasped his hands with a thoughtful look.

"You're a fart, greenskin, you're really bad at it. There's nothing to look back on in my past, it's not exciting, it's sad and trivial, that's all. If I want to say that I am interested now, it is later. Diller, the halfling, spread his hands, not forgetting to habitually taunt Stant.

"His future is my future. Beth smiled, shoved her little hand under the table into Thor's hand, and squeezed it tightly.

"Well, for the sake of the future. Everyone lifted the vat in front of them at the same time and slammed their glasses in the air.

"I may never have told you about the purpose of my territory, I came from the South, and the Dark Council of the South stretched out its hand too long, and I lost some important people. I once went to the main city of the South and made a big fuss, and my name is still on their wanted notice. ”

"The main reason for establishing a territory now is that when anyone dares to reach out in the future, I will not be so passive and unable to protect anything. Thor explained his purpose, and identified himself as he was wanted.

Staunt and Diller were stunned by the news, but they didn't seem too shocked, and they didn't pay any attention to the fact that Thor was being wanted in the South.

"Most human beings are despicable, and that's something I've learned from my travels. Stant said.

"Well, I agree with the Greenskins!" said Diller, spreading his hands.

"Actually, after meeting the two of you, I suddenly had some new ideas about territory building. Perhaps, we can build a free city where all aliens can live in peace? I mean territory-based and gradually develop in the direction of towns. ”

Thor said something suddenly, but it wasn't on a whim.

Mainly, Stint and Diller are aliens in the current team, and dragging them to build a territory feels like helping humanity. Even if the territory is built in the future, they may not have any sense of belonging.

This is not the situation that Saul wants, and Saul wants them to participate from the bottom of their hearts and do it with the intention of building their homeland.

Another reason is that Thor can foresee that the biggest difficulty in the future territory may still have to return to the population, and whether to absorb foreign races will be a problem that will be faced after all.

Branding itself as a 'Free City' can also add some attraction to your new territory.

Although there is a free alliance in the North, the so-called 'freedom' is only for the human race. Moreover, looking at the north and south of the entire continent, the acceptance of foreign races has always been very limited.

"This ...... It shouldn't be easy. Staunt and Diller were a little shocked by Saul's idea, but in the end they only sighed, who knows what will happen in the future?

"It's not easy, but let's work hard in this direction from now on. Thor didn't brag about anything, but just set a shallow tone, giving everyone a vague direction in the future.

Taking the initiative to pick up the vat, Thor touched it with the others.

"And which village are we going to next?" Beth took a slight sip and put down the vat.

The map is of little use at the moment, after all, everyone is almost at the border, and according to the news, there will be a small village in the north and northeast at the end, and Beth asks where Thor wants to choose as a foothold for the team.

"First go to the 'tide' village in the northeast, about seven days away, and then turn to the 'gray stump' village in the north, which is about another four days' journey, and then you may have to work hard for a while. ”

"Anyway, let's go through both places first, see the local living standards and the surrounding products, etc., and find out if there are any specific threats in the surrounding area, but that's after we decide where to stay, what do you think?" Thor asked his friends at the table.

Everyone nodded, hard work or anything, this little distance is not worth mentioning.

And now that I'm here, no one has much experience in the construction of territories, so since Thor has a clear direction, so be it.

After having a clear direction, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to get some sleep.

The next day, the four of them set out from Kenaldze and headed straight for Tidal Village, which seemed to be closer to the endless sea outside the continent, judging by the name of the village.

In fact, the two villages of Tidal Village and Ash Stump are supposed to be seaside villages, but it is said that there is an extension of an unnamed mountain range between the ash stump and the endless sea, and Thor prefers to settle on the ash stump.

Because of the proximity to the mountains, there will be a chance to find ore veins, and the advantage of mining stone is not to run, and the construction speed can be increased. The only benefit on the Tidal Village side may be the acquisition of fishing and hunting, provided that there are no dangerous enemies in the sea.

The group walked briskly, and finally arrived at Tidal Village after about six and a half days.

Similar to Saul's imagination, this small village is not much different from the original Grey Curtain Town, backward and closed.

There are two guards at the entrance of the village, one of the first order and one of the ordinary people, who seem to have a certain amount of defensive strength. And judging from the ruddy faces and slightly muscular bodies of the two male guards, there should not be too much shortage of food in the village.

The four of Thor behaved very kindly and entered the village as traveling adventurers, and as for the integration of the territory, it will be a matter for the future to fight or annex it.

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

The whole village is very small, with more than 20 households, and the population is less than 100.

The main means of obtaining food are wheat farming, hunting, fishing and hunting. However, as Thor predicted, fishing and hunting were the most helpless of all, because the sea was not calm.

In addition to the uneven coastal area, there are occasionally some wandering beasts to attack and disturb, which is not a big problem.

The village did not have any specialties in the strict sense of the word, and only after a certain amount of furs and folk handicrafts had accumulated in the village would the village send caravans to the territory of Kenadze to trade.

As for the interior of the small village, there are also bazaars, but the scale is pitiful, and it is more like the exchange of materials for its own people inside.

There is almost no currency in circulation throughout the bazaar, and the way of trading is still stuck in the ancient barter.
