Chapter 68: Fishing in Troubled Waters I.

Autumn in the Northland comes very early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In fact, judging from the world map, Nogo is not at the extreme north of the continent, starting from Nogo facing the cold air, riding a horse day and night, about half a month, you can reach the kingdom's redemption and exile land Flying Eagle Castle, and then, if you can endure the really penetrating cold, you can also enter the territory of the savage savages and snow beastmen, the Far North Wasteland.

In the bleak autumn mood, the mountains of Nogo are still mostly green. The pine needles became darker, and the birch, maple, and sycamores began to grow haggard, and the green leaves turned yellow, fell off, and drifted with the wind, finally blending into the soft surface of the mud, turning into a layer of black humus.

This season is a relatively comfortable and busy season. The farmer toiled from the field all day, washed the mud from his hands and feet in the ditch at the edge of the field, and looked at the scene of the heavy and crooked plant stems, and his heart was full of joy of harvest. This is not only happening in the vicinity of towns and villages, but also in the Nogo mountains, where "bandits" are infested.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Because of a good leader, the "Wolves" did not plough at all this year—in the spring, the bandit leader said that the Ampton Mine was surrounded by sandy and saline soils that were unsuitable for farming, except for the stones that were everywhere in the erections. If you do it reluctantly, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be difficult to guarantee the harvest.

In this regard, John Sr. once questioned, "Glo, if we don't farm, then what will we do with our food?" ”

Raiding and hunting are not things that have a steady income. When we first arrived at the Ampton Mine, we lived without a meal, with sour wild fruits, rough wild vegetables, and sporadic bean soup with oil stars, which made people's eyes turn green until Old John took the lead in clearing a little of the wasteland and planting some buckwheat and kale. John Sr. disagrees with Glo's decision to persuade everyone to stop farming.

"Food problems? Hey hey - don't worry too much anyway! ”

The bandit leader patted his chest and said with confidence. At this time, he already had a ranger class level of LV8, and he was almost invincible in the mountains of Nogo.

The reason why Glo swore by him was not for no reason - in his previous life, otaku lived in an era when he didn't worry about eating and drinking, and the lack of food was unimaginable. With the stuff in his head, he had several ways to solve the problem of food sources for the bandits.

For example, trade through looted goods. After the bandit leader took the position, the income of the entire team was significantly higher;

Another example is to make some ordinary weapons and equipment by hunting wild beasts or using local materials to make some ordinary weapons and equipment, and then sell them;

The bandit leader even thought of developing the Ampton Mine into a tourist resort, and in his opinion, this place is a natural place of relaxation with its shady trees, strange rocks and strange scenery, right? There were also climbing, wild hunting, and a day trip to the mines, which made the otaku laugh in his dreams - but when he woke up, he quickly stopped laughing at the thought of his notoriety, the current state of the Northland, and the nominal ownership of the mine.

After some consideration, the bandit leader concluded that staying here for a long time was not the way out.

Autumn is getting cooler, and the temperature in the Nogo mountains is even lower. Glo sat in the spacious hall, beside him, Miss Mage by the side like a docile kitten. The place was originally a mine, but after the bandits' careful remodeling, it was completely unrecognizable, cozy and warm, with orange bonfires crackling in the fireplace and firewood being cleverly designed to be expelled from the chimney.

"1,839 raels, that's all we have cash at the moment. There are also 46 furs, 33 great swords, 16 war spears, 21 long knives, 9 short bows, ......"

Oliver held a note in his hand and read so. The members of the bandit group gathered in the hall, including the children, Little Funy, Little John, Little Andy, ......, and the group sat quietly in their chairs or cross-legged on the woollen carpet, occasionally talking in low voices, but there was no laughing or talking.

"Good. Rael is well stocked, and the equipment is not used as a supplement for the time being. ”

After the leader of the bandits made his assessment, he hooked his chin with his thumb and looked up at Old John.

"The bacon is filling the kitchen, and there's a lot of flour. I don't think it would be a problem for everyone to eat for a few months. However, in terms of vegetables, since we gave up farming......"

Old John is still haunted by the original arrangement of the bandit leader.

"We can buy some potatoes and cabbage from the farmers, which are easy to store."

The bandit leader did not pay attention to the faint complaint in Old John's words, he clapped his hands, got up from his chair, and looked at everyone: "I plan to go to Afron these days. ”

"But, sir, didn't we just go last time?"

Levine asked, somewhat puzzled, referring to the trip from more than a month ago.

"This time it's because of something else."

"Do we need to prepare for the launch?"

Scott asked.

"No, no. This time I'm going to go alone. ”

The bandit leader vaguely remembers the background introduction in the game, and this time he went to Afron, he tried to find some opportunities - the bandit industry is by no means worth sticking to, and as the leader of the team, he feels that it is necessary to find a good future and a way out for himself and everyone. The confrontation between the forces of the Escud family and the kingdom's navy is a very good opportunity right now.

If possible, Glo plans to fish in troubled waters - since returning from the last raid on the fat merchant, Glo has stayed in the Ampton mines and has not gone out, occasionally exchanging experiences with Miss Radia on alchemy and equipment enchantment. Most of the time, except for daily exercise, he stayed in his house, facing a thick stack of manuscript paper, recalling some events in the game, writing them down on paper, and then after repeated and reasonable logical deduction, he strung together one event after another and put together a complete thread.

Yesterday, he probably had a clear idea of what was going to happen in Afron - it happened that today was the monthly meeting of the bandits, so the bandit leader decided to go to Afron alone after confirming that everything was safe. The reason why you act alone is to reduce the goal, to make it easier to act, and to avoid the attention of some people.

Glo remembered the trouble he had caused in Afron last time.
