The people in the room fell silent after passing the letter around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A few seabirds chirped and flew over the cliff corner, resting on the eaves, breaking the silence in the house, Morey slowly spoke, looked at Thor and asked seriously:

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already made your decision—Lord Nome?"

The rest of the group held their breath and turned their gaze to Thor, who was sitting in the center of the room, waiting for his answer.

"Why not, old man?" Thor nodded, looking at Morey with the same seriousness, and said to him calmly:

"This is a great opportunity to solve the current food crisis for us, and you said that Worms is the largest commercial city in all of Wotan, and you can buy anything you need there, didn't you?"

Morey did not squeak, his brow furrowed, and his figure shrouded in the dark shadow in the corner of the room, making him look a little melancholy instead of the peaceful old man he used to be.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Black Tooth stepped onto the platform outside the house, and slowly walked into the house barefoot.

"The man is gone, Noam. Thor nodded at him to say yes, and Blacktooth quietly sat down cross-legged beside Ingvar and looked up at Thor knowing that Nome had something to say.

"We have the treasure of five hundred golden roses from the cave, which can be used to buy food for the tribe. ”

Thor was a little excited, the tribe needed not only food, but also tools, materials and even many utensils, and the dwarves alone could not meet people's needs by refining them day and night.

In Worms, these can be bought with money, and of course these are based on the fact that he has enough money.

"We've made a lot of soaps and it's just in time for the first sale. Thor looked at the people sitting below with great interest, and happily explained:

"There is no better place to be the first market than Worms, where commerce is bustling, trade is frequent, and people love new things, especially such fresh and practical things, which the wealthy people of the city will definitely be happy to buy. ”

After that, he touched the pennant on his lap again, and muttered, "Besides, with the invitation of the young lady of the Conrad family, I think it will save you a lot of trouble at sea." ”

The air in the room was still silent, Morey frowned, as if thinking about something, Diana was thoughtful and silent, Kratos remained as silent as ever, now less and less involved in topics such as policy decisions and so on, and instead focused on combat and training, while Ingvar and Blacktooth clearly sensed that Morey might have something to say, so they wisely chose not to interject first.

Then there was silence in the room again.

"Is the old man worried about the situation at Worms?" After a pause, Thor sighed, tilted his head and gently looked at Morey, who was sitting beside him, and asked sincerely.

Morey also sighed sadly, and looked up at Thor, his voice unusually low, and he said to Thor, "Lord Nome, you know that Bertha and I lived in Worms for a while before being sold as nameless to the Cerverlos. ”

Thor nodded to acknowledge, and that the two of them had been trafficked to the Badlands by the pirates of Worms.

Morey's gaze deepened, as if caught in a memory, and he rested one hand on his crossed knee and two fingers to support his temples, recounting his past experience in a slightly vicissitudes of life.

"We had just escaped from Fran's palace with the help of someone who had a heart, hehe, Rosendaal—" Morey sighed with a wry smile

"I took Bertha all the way south along the Green River, and when I was about to approach the royal fiefdom of Dubertin, I turned ......east," Morey narrowed, as if remembering the road he had traveled

"Cross the Glorious River, follow the Silver Creek all the way to the Worms Plain, and go southeast until you reach Worms. ”

The people in the room listened quietly, and everyone could feel that it must have been a long escape.

"I had planned to hide in Worms for a while, and then find a way to escape by boat to Armenes. ”

Morey said and looked at Thor and said calmly, "But Worms is too messy, more chaotic than I imagined. ”

"Bertha and I live in the sewers of the city, hehe, what's there there?" said Morey, counting his fingers.

"Thieves, robbers, these are all too common, litters of kobolds entrenched in each other, and the filthiest of *** they are for the homeless homeless who need only a little food - oh yes, these homeless people need to be careful the most, because they will sneak up on people who are unfamiliar with the rules of the sewers at any time and eat up their flesh. ”

The room remained silent, and everyone listened to Morey with serious expressions, and everyone here understood what the old man was trying to say: under the glamorous aura, Worms was no more gentle than this remote and primitive desert island—on the contrary, it was even more cruel there.

"I had to make Bertha look dusty, and the only skill she learned during that time was to steal and use a dagger—"

Morey said with a wry smile and said to Saul, "I really didn't expect that after all this, Bertha would be able to regain her long-lost smile here, thank you very much, Lord Nome, for all this I can't repay." ”

Thor stretched out his hand to stop Morey from standing up to express his gratitude, but the old man pushed Thor away strongly, and after giving him a deep salute, he said:

"So I'm not trying to stop you from going to Worms, but I'm just trying to tell you that Worms is a very complex environment, with pirates, gangsters, guards, and mercenaries intertwined...... I've even seen Illuminati clad in holy clothes colluding with a gang of thieves. ”

Morey shook his head and sighed repeatedly: "Even the doctrine of the God of Light is degraded there......"

Thor stood up, patted Morey on the shoulder comfortingly, motioned for him to sit down, looked around the crowd again, and said in a deep voice:

"I know Old Man Morey is right, Worms is not simple, and even more dangerous than the cliff corner-"

People nodded, Morey needless to say, Diana and Blacktooth looked serious, and Ingvar's cheeks had begun to turn a little white, but fortunately there was a beard to block it, so that people could not see it.

Only Kratos was expressionless, and apart from the sadness and anger on his face when he heard about Bertha's life in the sewers, which was captured by Thor, he remained unmoved.

"But no matter how dangerous it is, sooner or later we have to go, and I think it's better to go early than late. Saul continued:

"After all, the Desert Corner is just an island, and there won't be much land for us to reclaim here, you all understand, right?"

There was silence in the room, and Thor did get to the point, as the tribe expanded, more and more fields were cultivated, but the whole South Island was only that big, and now the tribe didn't feel the pressure of the land when there were 2,000 people, but what if it was 20,000 people? 200,000?

"If we occupy the South Island and continue to expand northward, clearing fields and harvesting wood, I believe that sooner or later we will meet the Severos who occupy the northern tip again," he said. ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, except for Ingvar, who didn't know why, everyone else took a deep breath, and even Kratos narrowed his eyes and concentrated.

The Serveros were the ones who forced the tribe to migrate in the storm to the cliff corner.

Thor raised his right hand to his chest and waved it lightly, "The old man also said that the Cerveros have the support of Worms, they trade slaves with pirates, get iron tools and food from Worms, and even the Conrad family secretly supports them. ”

At this point, he finally asked, "If we just stay on this cliff and finally meet the Sevelos, what can we rely on to fight them and the vast network of forces behind them?"
