"Black Sea Cliffs, Alpine Town. These two names are really apt. ”

On a hillside with a wide view, Luo Lin looked at his territory from afar, and couldn't help but sigh.

Ahead is more than 50 kilometers long seaside cliffs, black dark rocks, whistling sea breezes, turbulent waves, the air is full of confusion with the smell of salty salt, as if you can pinch salt grains directly from the air. The so-called mountain town is built on the sea cliff, the terrain is very high, but the houses are low and dilapidated, one in the east and one in the west, and there is only one in the hundreds or even thousands of meters, sparsely and sparsely, and a depression.

As for farmland...... There was no such thing in the whole area, and there was almost no grass growing on the ground, so Rollin jumped off his horse, pinched a handful of dirt from the ground, crushed it, and tasted it with his tongue, and immediately felt a bitter taste.

The taste was bitter to his heart, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The salt brine all over the ground...... It's strange to be able to grow grass. ”

The butler Canado had already been mentally prepared, and before he came, he made some careful preparations and calmly explained: "Lord Rollin, this entire Black Sea cliff cannot be used to grow crops, and the only source of income is fishing in the sea. So almost the entire town of Takayama is a fisherman. ”

"Fisherman? It seems that my territory will not be able to get any taxes in the future, you look at those people, the face is yellow and thin, and the fish they usually catch is probably not enough to eat for themselves. Rollin sighed, turned around and asked Cannado: "But my territory finally has a radius of more than fifty kilometers, so there should be a slightly richer place, right?" ”

"But there was a piece of land, twenty kilometers down to a depth of six places, and there was a wild bear hill. There are oval basins in the hills with a diameter of about five kilometers. Because there are hills blocking it. Therefore, there is basically no sea breeze blowing in the basin. The soil is also quite fertile, the only problem is that the area is too small, and the traffic is blocked, and no one has been building it, so the basin is still occupied by woods. Canado said.

This news finally gave Luo Lin some hope, and he didn't bother to go to this barren and impoverished mountain town, so he directly turned his horse's head and said to the people around him: "Then let's go to the basin and have a look." ”

The group had no opinion. No one wanted to blow the sea breeze on this oppressive sea cliff, and they all followed behind Luo Lin.

Twenty kilometers is not a long way, especially since there are almost no plants on the ground in this area, and there is no obstacle to walking, so after only two hours, everyone came to the so-called Wild Bear Hill.

The soil in the hills has changed, the vegetation on the ground has become denser, and the previously gray color has been replaced by a patch of green, and the mood of the people has also been refreshed.

"It looks good, but the mountain road is a little steep." Rollin is basically satisfied. But the peaks in this hilly area are not low, and the elevation of each mountain is at least 500 meters above sea level. The mountain road between the peaks is inaccessible, and the woods and trees block the way, making it extremely difficult to walk all the way.

Helpless, Luo Lin could only order to dismount, pick up the sword, and work with the hired mercenaries to chop trees and mow grass at the front, opening the way for a few ordinary mages, housekeepers and others in the back.

"That's why I said there was a traffic jam in the basin." "Very few people want to come to this place, because there are terrible brown bears living in this forest. ”

"Rollin, wait!" Dai Wei suddenly shouted and stopped Luo Lin, who was holding a sword in front to cut through the thorns and open the way.

"What's the matter?"

"Look over there, there's a mountain road." Dai Wei pointed to a direction in front of her and shouted.

As soon as he heard this, Luo Lin smiled slightly in his heart, turned his head and looked in the direction of Dai Wei's finger, sure enough, in the staggered position of the two mountain peaks and the gentle mountain, there was a not very conspicuous mountain road, the road was only about one meter wide, the trees on both sides of the mountain road had been chopped, and the weeds on the road had been trampled flat, and it was obvious that people were often moving.

In fact, Luo Lin had long known about the existence of this mountain road, and also knew the function of this mountain road, which was exactly what the destroyers had done, in order to connect to a hidden altar in the mountain, of course, this altar was not large, and their current force was enough to deal with it.

Of course, he wouldn't say it, just shouted, "Maybe the hunters stepped on it." Let's go, let's take the mountain road. ”

He walked first, and the rest followed.

With the ready-made mountain road, the walk is much smoother, all the way, about two hours of walking, Luo Lin suddenly felt empty in front of him, and his vision suddenly became extremely broad.

The terrain in front of you suddenly became very gentle, and a dense forest appeared, and the white mist in the woods was so thick that it was impossible to see the edge at a glance, and there was quite a bit of forest sea.

"It is said that the fog in this basin is poisonous, and the people of Takayama Town used to try to go into the mountains to hunt, but after returning from the basin, every hunter will start to get sick and be bedridden, and the good ones can withstand it, and the bad ones will die directly, so no one should have entered the mountains all these years...... Wait, but this mountain road?" As he spoke, Cannado was no longer right.

Looking at this mountain road, it is obvious that there are still people walking recently, which does not match the news he heard.

Dai Wei said: "The rumors are just rumors, maybe someone has found a way to detoxify, or this white mist is not poisonous at all, let's go in and find out." ”

Luo Lin naturally agreed with Dai Wei's statement, he knew that this fog was not poisonous at all, and every qiē was a ghost of the ruining miè sect.

However, it was not early today, and it was tomorrow to go to explore, so he instructed the mercenaries on the side: "Find a flat place, camp in place, and we will spend the night in this area tonight." ”

The mercenaries took money to do things, and many of them were members of the Sword and Rose regiments, and they knew Luo Lin, so they naturally had no opinions, and they began to get busy one by one.

Taking advantage of this time, the butler Canado came over and asked, "Lord Rollin, what are your plans for your territory?" ”

Cannado didn't pay attention to the anomaly, believing that it was because he had found out that the information was wrong.

Rollin thought for a moment and said, "If it is feasible, I want to exhibit in this basin." ”

"But this mountain ...... And this wood. ”

The basin is a good place with potential, but this mountain forest blocks the road. Even if I can show. The potential is also not great.

Rollin needed such a secret place. This way he can concentrate on his strength, and the basin is not as bad as the world thinks, he knows that there are some minerals hidden in it.

With a plan in mind, he smiled and asked, "Then you say, do I have any other choice?" ”

Cannado was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, this was already the only fertile place in the Black Sea Cliffs.

"Hey~" Cannado had to admit this fact, but that's it. I don't know when the 10,000 gold coins lent by Master Bernard will be repaid.

Luo Lin saw that he was already tired, thinking that he was tired from a day's travel, so he smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll figure it out." You're tired of the day today, so let's go and rest first. ”

Cannado retired, leaving Rollin and Davi behind.

"How's it going, are you there?" Rollin asked Dai Wei softly.

Dai Wei shook her head in confusion. She walked all the way, except that she felt that the place was extremely barren, and there was nothing unusual.

Rollin explained softly, "Cannado is a very serious person. The information he receives is highly accurate and error-free. The news he heard that the hunters would not enter the mountains was not necessarily correct, but it was definitely worth paying attention to. If you look at this mountain road again, it is obvious that it has been trampled for a long time, indicating that people have been entering the mountain all along, not the recent changes in the situation, so the situation is abnormal. ”

"Can't it be stepped on by a hunter?"

"Not a hunter. As far as I know, experienced hunters don't just take one mountain trail when they go into the mountains to hunt, they are good at finding animal paths, or they make their own animal paths and then set traps. So if we were hunters, we would have encountered other mountain trails along the way, but in the current situation, there is only one way. ”

Speaking of this, Dai Wei already understood a little, she frowned, pondered for a while, and showed sincere admiration on her face: "Luo Lin, you're right, this is indeed very strange. This mountain road is like someone specially opened it into the basin, but the problem is that we have also seen that this basin is deserted, what are they doing in the basin? ”

The tutor always praised Rollin's observation and reasoning skills, she was a little unconvinced before, but the longer she was in contact with Rollin, the more convinced she became, Rollin's brain is indeed very, very useful, and she can't be convinced.

"That's exactly the problem." Luo Lin smiled slightly: "People are humane, beasts have beasts, ghosts have ghosts, these people are so secretive, they must be doing things that can't see the light, it seems that we have to be more vigilant." ”

Thinking of this, he beckoned to a cloaked and silent dwarf in the team: "Saledo, come here." ”

Saledo also followed him, in order to hide his identity, he was very low-key all the way, never spoke, and now when he heard Luo Lin's call, he hurriedly trotted over, lowered his voice and said flatteringly: "Master, what do you command." ”

"Didn't you say the other day that you were summoning a lion's mane battle demon? How's it going? ”

"I've already made contact with a war demon in the lower planes, but the rewards I can promise are too small, and he doesn't like to deal with me very much, and he just won't sign a contract with me." Saledo had a bitter look on his face.

"What reward?" Rollin asked.

"The best reward is, of course, the human soul...... Uh-uh, Master Dai Wei, I've given up the darkness and turned to the light, of course I won't do that, don't worry. The next thing is all kinds of magic, and the devils in the lower planes like to devour magic, which is almost their universal talent. ”

Saledo looked at Dai Wei with a humble face, although his magic is stronger than this little girl, but he can't mess with Rollin, these two have such a close relationship, he provokes Dalvy, Rollin will definitely punish him, so in his heart, Dai Wei is now the third person who can't be messed with, the first is Vianna Division, and the second is Rollin.

"Magic?" Rollin took out the small package that Vianna gave him, dug it in, and took out a fist-sized emerald green crystal and threw it over: "Life crystal, is one piece enough?" ”

This crystal was used by Vianna to save Rollin's life, and it was only three pieces, which were very precious, but the powerful force of the Lionmane War Demon was worth his consumption.

Saledo's eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped up, took it with both hands, and then put it in front of his eyes and looked upside down, and exclaimed: "So pure, so rich...... Enough, definitely enough. No, I'll have to give up the demon from before, this crystal is enough for me to make a pact with a higher demon. ”

Luo Lin frowned slightly and asked, "How much time does it take?" ”

"Soon, very fast, there are many powerful otherworldly creatures who are willing to get life crystals, don't worry, if you're lucky, it will only take an hour!" Saledo clutched the Life Crystal in both hands, as if he had received a peerless treasure.

"That's good, go get busy, don't let me down!"

"Of course, of course." Saledo walked away with the crystal in hand, looking excited.

Looking at his distant back, Dai Wei still didn't understand Luo Lin's approach: "I don't think you should trust him so much, Luo Lin, this guy's power is very evil." ”

Luo Lin smiled, this is the gap in ideas, you can't tell right from wrong just by words, you can only let time prove it, Luo Lin just smiled slightly: "Beautiful Miss Mage, open your mind, it's okay." ”

Dai Wei spread her hands: "Okay, I hope he won't disappoint." ”

The mercenaries quickly set up their tents, and dinner was prepared, and soon the aroma of the food wafted out, and now it was not the marching rations that were eating, but the jerky that Rollin had personally purchased in Vendôme, and it tasted very good.

After a day of walking, they were all tired, and it was not early, so after eating food around the campfire, they went back to their tents to rest.

The mountains and forests were silent, and occasionally a beast roar sounded, but it all appeared far away from the camp, and there was no threat.

It looks like it's going to be a calm night.

At least in the first half of the night, it was like this, but in the second half of the night, at two o'clock in the morning, Luo Lin was suddenly awakened by the warning news from the Zhi Brain.

"There are people approaching the mountain road, the number of six According to the analysis of footsteps, two people are strong, one is extremely agile, two people are no different from ordinary people, and the other is a giant beast." (To be continued......)
