Chapter 0005: The Demonic Beasts of Thorn Ridge

The geographical location of Flower Town, located in the northeast corner of Coral Island, is not small. But how big it is, Liszt is at a loss, as a remote town on Coral Island, it is simply divided into the northeast of Thorn Ridge, and the specific range is not marked at all.

In other words, as long as there is no collision with the township southwest of Thorn Ridge, Liszt can draw a line at will about how big the flower town is.

Even if Thorn Ridge were to be included, probably no one would be able to blame him - after all, the subordinate of Thorn Ridge was not divided on Coral Island.

After more than 20 years of reclamation by the Tulip family, less than two-thirds of the coral island has actually been developed into farmland and settled in the population.

The remaining third is a wild land.

Thorn Ridge is such a wild land, the lord's knights need to fight abroad, and these wild places need to be reclaimed by serfs and civilians.

Thorn Ridge is extremely barren and uneven, and the development value is not high.

Moreover, in the face of Warcraft, ordinary people are just a delicious food, and even Orion does not dare to test the depth of Warcraft easily. Of course, there are some adventurers who will still hunt and kill monsters, and every piece of flesh, every inch of fur and every piece of meat on their bodies can be exchanged for gold coins.

Liszt rode on a dragon horse and was full of enthusiasm for this inspection.

Horse racing is the natural instinct of every nobleman, and how big Flower Town is depends on where his horse's hooves can go. At this time, the horses' hooves were walking on the streets of the town, which were dirt roads, and there were livestock and human droppings everywhere - only the nobles would build toilets.

"Hygiene, changes have to be made. Liszt turned back and said to Marcus.

Marcus is undeniable, he is not a political officer and is not interested in any of this. He was on fire with the authority of the aristocracy, especially the serfs and commoners who lined the streets and saluted Liszt. These people, with their faces full of vegetables, have envy and fear of the nobility.

The body will tremble.

It was the serfs who knelt down, and the freedmen who bowed.

Serfs accounted for the vast majority, and they had already sold themselves to the nobility, which were Liszt's private property, and the weddings and funerals were all decided by Liszt. Even if Liszt wanted to exercise the right of the first night, these serfs had to obediently obey it, and wash their daughters and daughters-in-law and send them to the castle.

There were very few freemen, and most of them were craftsmen, such as hunters and tailors.

The town was small and dilapidated, with few inhabitants, and even though all the residents had come to the streets to salute, there was still not the slightest warmth.

Looking around, Liszt felt that there might be only a few hundred people in the town...... Not as many students as one school.

The low-slung mud and thatched houses stretch over a large stretch, and most of the area of the town is supported by these dilapidated houses, and there are not even two-story buildings, only three or two households.

This time, he really felt that the poverty of civilian life.

I was filled with emotion.

I am even more glad that I am a nobleman, and I can live in a castle and eat white bread made of fine wheat flour.

The dragon horse quickly carried Liszt and completed the town's only street that runs north and south, and with a slightly heavy heart, followed the safe route planned by Marcus in the direction of Thorn Ridge.

Riding all the way, around the outskirts of the town, are farmland fields, most of which Liszt can't name. These crops do not feel pleasant, they are all sick and crooked, and there are many weeds that grow with the crops, obviously without any scientific management.

In this era, there are certainly incredible creatures such as dragons and elves, and incredible divine powers such as fighting spirit and magic, but the development is relatively backward.

The industrial revolution is impossible, but the introduction of some scientific development methods is still very interesting.

Liszt is full of confidence in his own governance of the territory and the development of Flower Town.

......

After a short time, the town was far out of sight, leaving the flat land and entering a hilly area with sparse forests, which was already on the edge of Thorn Ridge.

"Lord Baron, demonic beasts often appear on the edge of Thorn Ridge, I hope you just follow me and don't rush in. Arriving here, Marcus began to lead the way, and explained to the four servant knights, "Protect the Baron, unless you become a corpse, you will never let the monster take a step forward, can you do it!"

"It can be done!" Karl and the others replied loudly.

They came from the commoners, where the commoners did not have to go to war, only the nobles and knights used war. But although the knights are civilians, they still need to go to the battlefield - as a logistics soldier, and if they are better treated, they have the responsibility to die for the nobles.

In order to avoid the beasts, a group of knights can only detour around the edge of Thorn Ridge.

The forest is quite lush, and you can occasionally see wild animals, such as rabbits and foxes, and the food on the edge of Thorn Ridge is not abundant, so it is rare to see wild animals.

"In spring, summer and autumn, the food in Thorn Ridge can meet the needs of Warcraft, so Flower Town doesn't often encounter Warcraft. But in winter, there are often hungry monsters that invade Flower Town, and every year a few unlucky people are treated as food for their stomachs by monsters. ”

No matter how bad Marcus is, he is still meticulous in his work, and the information on Thorn Ridge comes one by one.

"Warcraft, I don't know if I can meet one today. "Liszt has searched the memories of his predecessor and seen several kinds of magical beasts, compared to ordinary beasts, the biggest difference between magical beasts is that they have magical powers, and they can release some powerful magic.

The Tulip Fort also housed a small magical beast, the Fire Rabbit.

The fire rabbit that can release small fireballs is delicious and has bright fur, and the nobles like to eat the fire rabbit meat, and the noblewomen like the leather clothes made of the fire rabbit fur.

He had also seen the fur of a powerful beast, the Giant Bear, and one of the Earls' favorite chairs on Coral Island was covered with the fur of the Giant Bear, and the hideous bear head was completely tanned, exuding a terrifying and ferocious aura.

It is said that in order to hunt the giant brute bear, the Coral Island Knights killed eight Earth Knights.

Eight Earth Knights is enough to break the bones of the Knights, even if it is a territorial battle, it will not necessarily kill so many Earth Knights.

Not to mention, there were many more midshipmen killed.

Along the way, Liszt kept a record of the terrain of Thorn Ridge, including where it was suitable for fortifications, where it was suitable for water conservancy, where it was suitable for fortification, and where it was suitable for cultivating farmland. These are all obligations that a landed lord needs to fulfill.

"It's lunchtime, Oden, and it's here to prepare lunch. ”

"Yes, sir!" Auden Insole immediately dismounted, found a flat spot, laid out the carpet, and placed the dry food on top of it.

A simple lunch with bread, caviar, fruit salad and milk tea.

There is also goat jerky for Liszt.

Thinking it was just a simple lunch, Marcus's face changed suddenly after swallowing a piece of bread: "Lord Baron, there is a situation, it is the breath of a demonic beast!"
