Chapter 0003: Lord
Another golden marker appears on the map, which is a "! ”。
"Jane, how long have you been around the area, have you ever been there?"
The girl, who was already on the verge of falling asleep, raised her head and looked in the direction of Adam's finger.
"Two or three days, it's the biggest building here, but it's ......."
She pursed her lips, a look of fear on her face.
"What's there?"
Adam was handsome, his shirt torn, his bare muscles showed the man's reliability, and the small and intricate scars told the story of his extraordinary Kundia experience.
It seemed that it was Adam's deep, powerful voice that gave Jane some security, and she continued with a bleak face.
"There's a strong smell there, and there may be ghouls hiding inside. And...... And I peeked out of the window, there were monsters, with open mouths, and there was blood on the ground. ”
"Let's go, I'll take a look, and if I'm lucky, I'll get dinner."
Adam got up as he spoke, the wound that was beginning to heal could not prevent him from moving freely, and Jane, a homeless girl, staggered to follow, and the dust on her body did not have the strength to pat it more.
Adam was bathed in the warm sunlight and spread his arms outstretched, as if he could absorb enough strength.
The high ground connected one of the branches of the avenue, the main stone building had collapsed, and several other places were littered with stones, and rotting mossy wood protruded from the gap.
They were now in the middle of the highlands, and there were farmhouses and other houses on the flatter below, a small number, all abandoned, and very few shabby shelters that barely sheltered them from the wind and rain.
【Tavern (damaged, repairable)】
【Blacksmith Shop (to be rebuilt)】
【Folk House (Abandoned)】
【Residential (damaged, repairable)】
……
The map in his mind changed as Adam moved, but the range was fixed, and when he made eye contact, the information also emerged, and it was fixed in the correct place on the map.
From time to time, Adam asks Jane about what she recalls, and then she will say something in general, most often with an ending such as "no food", "little wood", "can catch rain", etc.
"I heard the sound of horses' hooves and thought it was a caravan or a bounty hunter. I want to see if the stranger can give me some food, or if I'm kind enough to take me and find a bigger town.
It turns out that you're thrown down here and crawl over there. ”
As far as Adam could see, the ramp was covered with gravel, the dirt road stretched out onto the avenue outside the forest, and not far away there was a small wooden bridge, and below it was the rushing river.
On the way, he picked up a pottery shard in a slightly dry crevice, carved with a Grande-style pattern.
[(Clue) Old Prayer Clay Pottery]
[When the people in the base were still full of food, everyone still followed the traditions of their ancestors. 】
"Just, right there!"
Jane pointed to the most complete main building, and the black hole room really floated out of the terrible smell of corpses, on the map, there was nothing but gold! There are no red dots.
Adam ignored Jane's obstruction, held the curly-bladed dagger from earlier, and walked in alertly, and sure enough, he saw the terrifying monster in the girl's mouth.
"It's dead."
In addition to blood all over the floor, there were several corpses and a large griffon's head lying on the side of the dark room.
The eagle's beak was wider than Adam's muscular calves, shiny and dark, its eyes were white and about to fall off, and judging by its dark brown feathers, it was not young.
The man who hunted it and cut off its head was right next to it.
After observation, as well as the growth of maggots, this tragedy happened half a month ago.
The mercenary who took over the hunt was resting here with the booty and scars, and was robbed by the bandits who followed, and two unskilled fellows slept with him.
The sword and armor were taken away by the survivors, but there were no experienced leaders in this group of bandits, so they forgot to check the most critical places.
Adam crouched down next to the griffon's head, tugging at the rotting edges.
"Close your eyes."
Jane leaned against the door frame and looked in, and before she could hear what Adam was saying, she saw him plunge into the huge wound, making a disgusting clicking sound like a swamp into the mire.
[The brave man who hunts the griffin likes to hide his belongings in the spoils of war, and your experience and decisiveness bring you ten silver pythons and forty bronze wolves]
Adam's blood-stained hand grasped the bag made of animal skin, his fingers twisting, and the coins inside rattled.
"Why does that exclamation point still exist? Is there something else in this prompt? ”
He looked around, and there was not a single log left but dust and crumbling stones, and at last Adam walked to the large window, which was exposed to the wind and sun, and raised his foot to step on the platform, and stuck his head out.
Below is a dark woods of sharp trees, wolves, and ghouls.
[There is more than one rester here, someone has left a legacy on the side of the main building. 】
Thinking of the pottery shards he picked up on the road, Adam's bloodied and pale face smiled.
"Oh, it turned out to be a legacy."
"Mr. Adam, be careful."
"Jane,"
Adam tossed the stinking bag of coins over.
"You know, the Grandians put their most valuable things on a high place, preferably overhead?"
With that, he jumped out of the window, and at the girl's screams, he grabbed the raised rocks on the edge of the wall in great danger, turned over and began to climb outside the main building.
The Grande people like to build windows with backlight, so Adam struggled in the shadows for a long time, and when he climbed to the platform on the roof, his wounds were torn, and the health bar he recovered after waking up fell back down.
Adam clapped his hands, the sun warmed, and the handsome young man walked to the central bulge, flew a kick, and a reflective ring popped out of the scattered stones.
【Lord's Ring】
"It's actually this thing!"
Rao is Adam's predecessor who has walked the Kundia continent for many years, but he was still shocked and speechless by the hidden "legacy", until he climbed down the ten-meter-high main building again, and still couldn't believe what he was holding.
Throughout the history of the continent, the dwarves have forged a number of rings, which were given by the elves to the outstanding humans to prove their identity and establish their kingdoms.
But the era of the rise of mankind has been buried in history, and the dozens of human kingdoms sung by troubadours are now only a few chicks with a history of no more than 100 years.
Wars on the continent are rife with monsters and ghosts, and there are countless warlords with some means, and there is no one to oppose the larger self-appointed lords.
He raised the [Lord Ring] of the Kundia Continent, which symbolized his orthodox identity, and the secret technique that lingered on it did not repulse, confirming his speculation.
"Its predecessor has died unexpectedly, and there is no heir to establish an inheritance."
The note changed in an instant, and Adam officially became [Identity: Lord of the Poor Sour], and with it, more information was opened.
Including [wood], [stone], [steel], [cloth], [food], [money (unit: copper wolf)] six items.
Except for the bronze wolf and silver python that I just touched, all other items are displayed as "0". And the growth block also shows "0/day".
[Only by restoring and constructing "folk houses" can we obtain these basic materials in a lasting and stable manner.] 】
"It seems that as a lord, I need to find the first people."
