The Hillsbrad Hills are located to the south of the Alterac Mountains, northwest of the Arathi Highlands, and to the south by the sea.

Thanks to the presence of the Alterac Mountains, Hillsbrad is protected from direct cold air from the Northern Rift, making it not too cold even in winter.

In fact, this is also the favorite winter escape place of the nobles of the surrounding countries!

Obviously located in the northern part of the continent, when it snows everywhere else, the hills only fall lightly in the north near the mountains and in the west near the silver pine forests.

Hillsbrad is a land full of green hills and fertile pastures and farms.

Abundant precipitation has created a lot of land suitable for farming, and the generosity of nature has allowed Hillsbrad to be self-sufficient.

The hilly south coast is windy, which allows ships to enter and exit the docks of Nanhai Town smoothly.

Beach-popping smelters, mountain lions, moss-eating spiders and grizzly bears are also part of Hillsbrad's idyllic landscape.

Orondo sat in a simple carriage, and read a book from Dalaran in a slightly shaky setting as the carriage gurgled along.

The book is called Rune for Dummies: Arcane Chapter, and it comes from Dalaran and sells for 15 new Lordaeron coins, or 21 gold coins of the Kingdom of Alterac, or 18 gold coins of Fort Rapids.

An ordinary Hillsbrad Hill farmer, a family of 4 plows the land and cultivates the land, and the annual income is about 15~20 Lordaeron New Gold Coins.

In other words, just buying this textbook for the introduction to arcane runes would cost a farmer's family all the income of a year.

And this is just one of the most basic textbooks for one of the many schools of magic.

Magic is not something that everyone can learn. Wizards, not everyone can be a wizard.

In the carriage carriage, Orondo looked intently at the latest textbook.

But actually......

【Data storage......

【Data integration ......】

With the help of the Eye of Truth, it would take the most gifted magic apprentice three days to read and five or six days to complete the rune introductory textbook.

He finished reading it in less than five minutes.

After another 10 seconds, he had basically grasped the contents of the book.

Closing the magic tome he had just bought, Orondo stretched out his slender white fingers, the tips of which glowed with a faint blue light, and made a few quick gestures in the air.

A simple small rune emerges in the air, exuding a mysterious power that makes ordinary people in awe - the Talal Rune.

This is a common rune used to strengthen arcane rituals, and is said to have been created by a High Elf named Talral, the simplest and most basic rune in the rune school.

This versatile rune can be used in most spells, but the Void and Corrosive Magic will render it ineffective.

"Hoo ......"

With a flick of his fingertips, Orondo let the runes disperse and put away Rune for Dummies: Arcane Chapter.

He didn't need it anymore, because the knowledge it was written on it was already firmly in his mind.

You can sell it second-hand, and it cost you 15 new gold coins of Lordaeron when you bought it. When sold second-hand, such a new second-hand magic book should also be able to sell for 12 gold coins, right?

Or when it's brand new, it's okay to sell it.

Rubbing his neck, Orondo got out of the carriage and came out of the carriage.

As far as the eye can see, there is a long line of caravans, horses and merchants.

"Sir."

"Sir!"

The two humans who were in charge of driving the carriage outside the carriage immediately whispered respectfully.

Orondo nodded at them.

Two humans, one young and one a little old.

The young human is called Jobby, the son of Dobby, the butler. The older ones were the coachmen of the Severosa family, who were responsible for driving the carriages for the Lord.

Owned by the Sephorosa family, the carriage was a spacious long-distance carriage with four wheels that required two horses to pull it.

The carriage was now in a caravan procession, walking the road opened by humans in Hillsbrad, heading south.

The human kingdom has indeed been peaceful for thousands of years, and the alien races around it are either allies or driven away. However, the kingdom is not free of danger.

Within the realm of the human kingdom, robbers, various beasts, elementals, spirits, and even some alien races will still appear from time to time.

It is relatively safe in the vicinity of human cities, but there are many corners and places in the vast territory that are still not peaceful.

The wilderness is full of dangers!

In this case, if a human wants to travel to another city or even another country, he will have to venture into the wilderness.

How can he be safe?

Except for the immigrants and military marches organized by the human kingdom, most ordinary human beings often use only one normal way to travel from one city to another city and region belonging to humans - follow the steps of the merchants, pay a little toll, and obtain the protection of the group.

Merchant is a form of trade between the northern human nations, and there are two main modes:

One is that many small merchants from the human kingdom unite and gather into large groups of people at an agreed time to go to various countries to run businesses and sell goods.

The other is a powerful big merchant, a big caravan, who organizes a large number of merchants and trades between the countries of mankind by himself.

The merchant group in which Orondo now lives is the former, a small regional merchant group of small merchants from the middle and northeast of the Hillsbrad Hills, who have come together to make their way to the town of Southsea.

These merchants procured large quantities of furs, herbs, grain, and more from the central and northern hills, and would travel all the way south to the most important trading port in the hills, Nanhai Town, where they would sell to merchants from Kurtilas or other countries for a profit.

Some brave merchants will even simply hop on the fleet of Kultiras and travel to other kingdoms further away to sell for more lucrative profits.

At the same time, merchants would also go to other countries in Southsea Town to buy the output of other places, and then ship it back to the Hillsbrad Hills from Southsea Town or other countries.

There are profits in both trips, but it is a little harder and a little more dangerous.

But what's the point of taking a little risk for the sake of cute little money?

It is different from those businessmen who stay in the city and stay in the countryside to open a shop. This kind of merchant who travels from country to country, making greater profits and more dangers, is called a merchant.

The merchants themselves often had a certain amount of force, and they could carry knives to cut monsters, and they could also shoot bows and arrows. Sometimes, traveling to dangerous areas requires hiring adventurers or guards.

Powerful caravans, such as those of the great nobles, simply use the guards of the kingdom's army.

Orondo, who went to the town of Nanhai, caught such a caravan caravan. It was formed by a dozen Hillsbrad Hill merchants, with a total of more than 20 carriages and dozens of horses, and a total of almost more than 200 people.

There are not many dangers from nature and the supernatural in the hills, and the elements and those dangerous spirits have long been caught and killed by Dalaran, and they have basically been wiped out.

Only some wild animals in the mountains and forests are in danger.

Just because there aren't many supernatural dangers doesn't mean there aren't others. As the junction of all countries, there is such a emperor as Dalaran traversing it. In fact, the Hillsbrad Hills are actually a careless area!

Where the nations don't want to manage, or can't control.

So the most dangerous thing here is actually all kinds of bandits, there are human and some alien races, and there are even bandit groups united by humans and aliens!

Without such a convoy, Orondo would have to walk alone on the roads of Hillsbrad with his own carriage and two men.

In this case, there is a high probability that you will be targeted by bandits! It wasn't as safe as it is now.
