【45】Razor Ridge's Conspiracy (Digging Potatoes)
We had thought of many ways to get in before we planned to dive into Razor Ridge, but we never thought it would be like this today - being escorted by the dwarves!
Brian Copperbeard sent six dwarven warriors to escort us all the way from Balmodan to Razor Ridge, which is in the southernmost hills of the Giant's Wilderness, and we stopped at the entrance to the hill because there was a row of spiked stake walls at the entrance to the hill that blocked access to the hills, and behind the stake walls there was a towering sentry with boar men guarding with bows and arrows.

"Heck, dwarves! What are you holding our people for!? Coax~" shouted the boar-man soldiers on the sentry.
"These few of them just broke into our giant excavation site without permission, and our Bronze Whisker Lord asked us to send them over, and then re-emphasize with your leader that no one should be close to the giant excavation site!" The dwarven warrior who escorted us back to us.
"Heck, what?! How could we boar people be so bored and run to see you dwarves digging something?!"
"If you don't believe it, ask them~"
"Heck, you guys! Did you really go to the giant's excavation site just now?!coax~"
The five of us nodded and replied helplessly: "We did pass just now, but we didn't see anything~"
"Heck, damn it! ~ You guys are a shame on us boar people! What tribe are you from!? The boar-man soldier on the sentry said angrily.
"We are the ...... of the Ribs"
"Coax, open the door! Let them in, and tell the Razor Swamp to pick them up! The boar-man soldier at the sentry shouted.
After a while, the gate of the level slowly opened, and six dwarven warriors escorted us in, and as soon as I passed the level, I found that Jon Stareye was true to what he had said before, the mountains on both sides of the mountain road behind the level were full of thorn vines, and these thorn vines were very thick, the stems and vines looked like two or three people could hug each other, and the thinnest part was as thick as a human waist.
"Oh my God, how do these thorn vines grow, how can they grow so thick~" Pastor Jin Ji on the side whispered, and the others were also surprised.
We walked along the hillside road, surrounded by these stout thorn vines, and after a while, on the top of the hill where the thorn vines were most densely grown, came a troop of boar men, led by a large boar man with a large body and three thick, and wearing red spiked armor.
When the boar man saw us, he cried out, "Coax, you rabbits! What to do in the dwarven territory! Coax! ”
We didn't know who this person was, so we all froze in place, while the boar man who led the way stepped forward to greet him: "General Ramtas~ These dwarven warriors said that you people from the ribbed tribe ran to peek at their excavation site, so they specially escorted them back. ”
The boarman, called Ramtas, turned to the dwarves and shouted, "Coax, ******! What's so great about your ruined excavation site, will you die if you look at it!? Coaxing"
When the six dwarven warriors heard him say this, they all blew their beards and glared angrily, and one of them, who looked like a chief, replied, "Ramtas! It was your people who broke our covenant in the first place! You're still so arrogant!? ”
"Coax, I'm justified, what's the matter? We're not interested in your excavation site at all, so hand over our people! Then go back to your broken castle~! Coax. ”
"Hmph, Ramtas, you have given us a memory! If the tribe comes to fight you in the future, we dwarves will never come to your aid! The dwarven chief shouted as he pointed at the boar general, Ramtas.
"Humph! Who is rare? Get out of here! ”
The six dwarven warriors pushed us to the ground and then turned around and walked away, cursing angrily as they went.
"Humph, huh! Do these self-righteous stinky dwarves think we boar people have no other allies? I'm sure you'll look good! Ramtath, the boar general, snorted as he looked at the backs of the dwarven warriors, and then he pointed at us and shouted, "Bring me these bunnies!" ”
With that, the five of us were picked up and escorted away by a group of boar soldiers, who carried us on, over a low hill and down the hill, until we came to a huge cave-like entrance entwined with thick thorny vines, which was the entrance to the Razor Swamp, the stronghold of the Boar Men's ribbed tribe.
Razor Swamp is not a wetland swamp, there are no pools or silt, only dense thorn bushes, so I think the meaning of "swamp" should refer to the fact that these thorns everywhere have the meaning of people who can't extricate themselves.
We were brought into the entrance of the cave by the boar soldiers, and as soon as we entered, we found that there was a cave inside, this was not actually a cave in the true sense of the word, but more like a crater basin like a volcanic crater, but the top of this place was covered by a large thick and dense thorn vine, and it was difficult for light to penetrate, so it made people feel like they were in a cave.
This mountain basin is the base of the Ribthorn tribe, and it is full of wooden huts and tents of the boar people, all of whom are built on high ground, and some of which are built directly on the thick thorn vines, which is truly breathtaking.
"Aghem, is this the one you sent? At this time, Ramtas, the general of the boar people, said to a fat boar man in the base area, with gray sideburns and red leather pants.
The boar man named Aghem came and looked at us, and exclaimed, "Coax, ah, it's you!" I sent you out to hunt gazelles yesterday, why are you returning empty-handed now!? ”
The thief replied alertly, "Hey, Lord Aghem, we accidentally broke into the territory of the dwarves yesterday and were caught by them, so the prey was also seized by them. ”
"Heck, what??" The boar man named Aghem exclaimed.
"Heck, that's true, they were brought by those dwarves just now, hmph, those self-righteous dwarves! Coax. Ramtas replied.
"Heck, I'm so embarrassed! General Ramtas is tired of you! Leave them to me, and I'll take care of them. Aghem, the boar man, said.
So the boar-man general Ramtas handed us over to Aghem, who took us to a hut in the tribal camp, where he said to us: "Coax, although you have not brought back the gazelle because you have been captured by the dwarves, you still have to continue to collect food, after all, there are a lot of people in the tribe waiting to eat!" He took out a few short shovels and shovels from the hut, and then said to us, "These are shovels and shovels, take these tools and dig some blue-leaved potatoes in the cave at the bottom of the camp~ 100 for me by tonight." ”
……
"Blue leaf potato? What the hell, I don't even know what this thing looks like, how do you dig it? "The thieves and warriors complained that the five of us had now reached the bottom of the camp, where the soil was very soft and dark brown and looked very fertile.
A few of us used short shovels and shovels to look through the soil, and as long as there were leaves and stems on the surface of the soil, we would dig up, but after digging for a long time, we still didn't see any shadow of the potato.
"I haven't even dug up a single one yet, how can I give 100 to that boar man tonight?" Pastor Ginger mourned.
"Otherwise, let's stop digging and go and assassinate that Karga Rib Thorn, and then destroy their sentry and go back!" The Warlock suggested.
"We can't be in such a hurry, we still have to gather intelligence to determine who the boar people are allied with~ Besides, we don't know where that Karga Ribspur is." I said.
"Then let's go directly to someone and ask, won't we?" The warrior replied.
"When you asked, do you rush straight over? There are only five of us now, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of boar people living here, so even if we kill the leader, how can we retreat? ”
The "......" warrior was speechless,
"We'd better stay dormant for the time being, and it's best to act when the opportunity arises." I continued, when the pastor Ginger exclaimed, "Ah, I think I dug it!" Look, is this a blue-leaved potato? ”
In his hand he carried an oval-shaped root of a plant, and on top of it was a handful of blue stems and leaves.
"It's kind of like a sweet potato, I'll try it and see if it's okay." The warlock took the root from the priest's hand and broke a small piece into his mouth, "Hmm! It's so sweet! This is indeed a sweet potato! ”
We looked at his eyes shining, and also broke off a little bit from the blue-leaved potato and tasted it, sure enough, this blue-leaved potato has a crisp taste and sweet taste, much better than the ordinary sweet potato, "It's really delicious~", "There is such a good thing in the territory of the wild boar people~" Everyone was surprised.
"Huh?! Look, there's a lot of them in the caves over there! Then the priest shouted, and we looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, there was a blue potato leaf on the ground in a cave not far from us.
