Saving the three from danger, Alan then instructed two of his subordinate soldiers to pack up the wolf's meat, while he himself walked up to the three hunters alone and asked, "Where are you from?"
In fact, it was not only the three rescued hunters who were suspicious, but Alan was also on guard against them. After all, the Kingdom of Xinghua had just been rebuilt, and as the captain of the Kingdom Guard, Eren had to be wary of any outsiders. Naturally, Alan had to discern their identities and circumstances.
"We are the hunters of the barren mountain village in the east of the country. One of the hunters replied quickly.
Alan pondered for a moment. The land of Dongli mentioned by the hunters is located east of the Valley of Oblivion, and is a village with a similar environment to the Xinghua Kingdom. Alan often hunts in and around the Forgotten Valley, and has naturally encountered hunters from Barren Ridge Village. In order to verify the truth of the hunter's words, Alan decided to test it.
"Do you know that Blackskin, he's a great swordsman!" Alan asked deliberately.
"Uncle Blackskin, of course we know! However, he was only a great hunter, not a swordsman. The hunter replied comfortably, correcting the error of Allen's view.
This point, Alan silently agreed in his heart, but his face was still silent, and he asked the three hunters carefully about the characteristics of the black skin, and it was not until they were completely matched that they were sure that the three hunters would not be some enemy spies.
After a while, the two subordinates had finished cleaning up the wolf meat, and Alan had brought all three hunters into Xinghua City. Along the way, Allen also sent two soldiers to escort the three hunters into the city all the way, nominally for protection, but in fact for surveillance.
The subjects of Xinghua are all remnants of the old country, and who knows that they were former enemies, and they still remember them. Maybe one day, if the enemy country thinks that they are a threat and sends troops over, the newly rebuilt Xinghua Kingdom will not be in danger.
Therefore, according to Sheehan and Allen, when dealing with outsiders, you must always be cautious. Moreover, the entire population can no longer refer to the name of the old country. Therefore, at this time, Allen will have this arrangement.
Not only that, for the sake of safety, Alan decided that for the three hunters, at most, they could only be allowed to stay under the castle tower in the city, rest for a while, and then give them some herbs to heal their injuries, and let them leave, and never let them enter the city.
However, Sheehan, who rushed to get the news, did not agree with Allen's treatment. Sheehan, on the contrary, thought that it would be better to let three hunters from outside enter the city and let them visit Xinghua City.
The reason why Sheehan made such a decision was because he took into account the development difficulties that Xinghua Kingdom was currently facing.
The Valley of the Forgotten has always been a place where personal relics are rare, and the establishment of the country in the Valley of the Forgotten is a helpless move, because there is a lack of land for cultivation and food self-sufficiency, which has severely limited the population development of the country.
And Sheehan thought very clearly, if you want Xinghua to rise rapidly, you can't rely on the support of the king forever, if you can establish an independent trade channel at the same time, it will be very helpful for Xinghua to develop its economy and reduce the burden on the king.
Sheehan was infinitely loyal to the king and admired him. It can be said that without the king, there would be no Xinghua Kingdom, and there would be no future for their remnants. Now that the king has provided them with life, they should be enterprising and not rely on the king for everything. Therefore, Sheehan very much wants to establish a channel of communication between Xinghua and the outside world of the Forgotten Valley, so that the citizens of Xinghua can become self-reliant as soon as possible.
Therefore, the unexpected arrival of these three hunters is a rare opportunity. It is better to cooperate with these hunters who have saved their lives than to go out and find other outsiders outside of the Forgotten Valley in the future, at least, the latter is always easier to talk about the grace of salvation.
When he heard that these three hunters were from the east and left the country, Sheehan wanted to develop these three hunters into the peripheral business representatives of Xinghua and promote Xinghua's foreign trade.
Judging from the current geographical situation of Xinghua, there is the Roman Empire to the west of Xinghua, and since Xinghua is the great enemy of the former country, it is naturally impossible to seek cooperation and development;
Sheehan's idea was that it would be a good outcome if the three hunters could take the goods of Xinghua Kingdom outside the Forgotten Valley and trade with other countries, and even if they could not become the commercial representatives of Xinghua Kingdom, they could also serve as guides to lead the caravans formed by Xinghua Kingdom to the East to do business and open up markets.
Anyway, as long as the road is opened, things will be easy to do.
Next, Sheen patiently asked the names of the three hunters, their specific identities, and what happened to them.
These three hunters from Dongli Country, their names are Zhao Hu, Zhao Shi, and Zhao Jin, and they are all excellent hunters in Huangling Village, Dongli Country. This time they went hunting in the wild because they wanted to hunt the precious beasts, obtain their complete furs, and earn a considerable income, and use the money to marry their daughters-in-law.
In order to complete the major event of continuing the rest of the Zhao family in Huangling Village, these three people even risked their lives and ventured deep into the primeval jungle together. As experienced hunters, they certainly understand the truth that 'if you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get a tiger', and the more dangerous the deeper the forest, the more likely they are to encounter rare beasts that are not usually seen.
Unexpectedly, the three of them were really unlucky, they had just passed through the dark forest, and before they could find their prey, they first encountered the wolves. Originally, if they encountered a beast with a single shadow, they could still deal with it with the strength of the three of them, but when it came to a large number of wild wolves, they could not do anything.
The wolves took the three of them as prey, and they couldn't fight the wolves, so they could only keep running for their lives, fleeing into the Valley of Oblivion in a panic. Before they saw the walls of Xinghua Kingdom, they were almost desperate, but thanks to the help of Allen, they survived.
Zhao Hu, Zhao Shi and Zhao Jin believed that Allen was their life-saving benefactor, and they were all grateful to Allen and even Xinghuaguo, who opened the door of life for them.
It's just that after entering the gate of Xinghua Kingdom, they were indescribably surprised.
Since ancient times, there have been various legends about the Valley of Oblivion, most of which describe it as a paradise for beasts and a hell for humans. As long as you accidentally enter, I am afraid that it is not easy to get out. But there has never been a rumor that there is any city in the Valley of Oblivion, let alone a country that has become an institution.
Therefore, Zhao Hu and the three of them all believed that the people who could build a city in the Valley of Oblivion should not be simple characters.
