Chapter 199: Climbing the Mountain (Part II)

Bojie and I walked along the ridge at the edge of the flower field to the hut at the end.

There were people living in the hut, but not minotaurs, but rat men.

When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't a nezumi, but a much stronger rat bear.

The Urkan is a type of bear people, short in stature, much less powerful than the Bear Man, but much stronger than the Ratmen, they are not good at hunting and fighting, but they have a specialty, which is beekeeping.

They have heavy fur and are not afraid of any bee bites, so they can come and go around the hive with peace of mind.

Therefore, the Rats are also well-known beekeepers of the Orc race.

The beekeeper had already seen us coming, but he didn't come to say hello, and when we got closer, he squinted and asked, "Are you here to buy honey?" ”

"No," Bojie said, shaking his head, "we're just here to see the scenery." ”

"It turned out to be a nobleman in the city." Said the Ratbear Man.

"We're not ......," Bojie said.

"That's really strange," said the Rat-Bear, "isn't it true that the nobility also likes to see the scenery?" However, please feel free to see the scenery, as long as you don't trample on the flower fields......"

I looked around Woods and saw that there was one hive after another at the back of the house, but there were no bees in the hive.

"Where are the bees?" I asked.

"Ready for winter......," said the Urka, "it's cold, and they can't stay ......."

"Oh......" I nodded, and sat down on a wooden mound.

"Take the girls out to play?" The Urkan said, "It's good......"

I said, "It's rare to relax." ”

"You're not an official, are you? Or a businessman? The Ratbear asked again.

"Sort of, soldier......" I said, looking around curiously.

In the flower field, Atayal priest and Iru were still happily looking left and right, leaning over from time to time to smell the flowers, not like they should be at this age, but more like children of five or six years old......

Looking at the Urka, I realized that he was cutting something out of a piece of wood.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Wooden bowls...... "Rat-bears," said the Rat-Bear, "are they more convenient to use than pottery bowls, aren't they?" ”

I found out that this rat bear man is actually old.

"Are you the only one here, old man?" I asked.

"The children went into the city to deliver honey," said the urka, "and I am old and have bad legs, so I can only do some chores here......

"How old are you?" I couldn't help but think of my grandfather and asked.

"I'm thirty years old......," said the Urka.

"Poof! Hahahaha! Leo was suddenly overjoyed, "What an old man at the age of thirty!" It's so funny! ”

"Don't laugh," I said, "for the Rat-Bears, thirty years old is old, and they reach adulthood before they are ten. ”

"Ahh ”

"Rabbit people? About six or seven years old......" I thought about it and said, "Isn't it written in the book?" ”

"What do I care about?" Leo was confident, "I care about the overall situation, these trivial things, and they are not in my consideration, but you, remember better than me." ”

"These things are knowledge...... "I said.

"Hey!" Bojie also sat down and said, "Can you support your family by beekeeping and growing flowers alone?" ”

He seemed to be asking me, and he was asking about the Rats and Bears.

"It's not just beekeeping, some of the flowers can be sold to the nobleman's house, and some can be sold to the merchant who makes flower cakes," the Ratbear Man was talkative, and said everything, "Also, there are insects and mice in the flower field, which are also good meat, and my youngest son and grandson can also hunt, and often come back with squirrels and hares, and their lives are not bad......"

"I'll go, this little old man is also stuffy, right?" Leo said.

"Have your families lived here for generations?" I asked again.

"No, I came with my grandfather," the Ratbear Man was interested at this time, and put down the work in his hand, and said, "In the early years, our family was on the wolf clan's side, and the climate over there was not good, and the wolf clan bullied us little clans very much, my grandfather's father was beaten to death by a small wolf clan officer, so our family moved here twenty years ago, and you minotaurs are good, you don't bully us, and the taxes you collect are not high......

"Oh? What about taxes? Leo said curiously.

"Isn't it just the market in the city that collects taxes?" I'm also a little weird.

"Of course not!" "Those who are protected have to pay taxes, this is the rule, and it is also the reward that the army and the strong deserve to protect the weak." ”

"That's ......," I nodded.

"I've lived here for twenty years, and when I think about it, Thunder City was pretty much the same as it is now," said the Ratchon Man, "and I've lived a peaceful and stable life for twenty years." My life is much better than my parents and grandparents......"

The more the Ratbear Man talked, the more interested he became, and Bojie and I watched as Priest Atayal and Iru didn't mean to come out, so we accompanied him to have a wordless conversation - mainly because he talked a lot.

After a long time, Priest Atayal and Iru came out unsatisfied.

"It's been a long time since I've been so happy!" Iru said excitedly.

"Seeing such a large field of flowers, my mood has changed inexplicably!" Atayal Priest said with a smile.

"Ah, are the two young ladies having fun?" The Ratbear Man is more enthusiastic than me and Bojie, "Very few people have come to the flower field lately, and after a while, the flowers will wither... You guys couldn't have come at the right time! ”

"Yes, yes!" "A few more days, there will be no flowers to see!" ”

"Old man, I'm really sorry I didn't say hello to you beforehand......" Atayal priest said a little apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, the two guys told me, you guys are here to see the scenery and relax, just have fun!" The Ratbear Man said happily.

"You're so kind, old man." Atayal priest said.

"Well, don't say that," said the Ratbear, "if you don't come, I'll be alone with me...... Oh yes, aren't you going to climb the mountain? Go ahead, or you won't have enough time! Those noble ladies and ladies have to go up early, and this road is no better than the big road in the city......"

The rat bears became more and more enthusiastic, but they did not give up, but persuaded us to go on the road earlier.

We left the Flower Field Cottage and continued up the path.

Although it is a small road, there are also canals, and some difficult places are paved with a stone or two, which is actually not rough for us.

Soon we were at the top of the mountain.

Because we took the path on the side of the mountain, when we reached the top, we couldn't actually see anything.

After a detour, we came to the front, that is, the main road facing the east of the city.

At the top of the hill is a flat meadow, some of the weeds are starting to turn yellow, but overall, it is still green.

A little further down the main road, it is said that it is the spring, but we are not in a hurry to go down.

After all, I'm here to climb the mountain to see the scenery, and it's too boring to go down before I see enough.

Besides, it's rare to have such a good opportunity to be with Atayal Priest, and of course it will be a little longer......

However, standing on the top of the hill overlooking Thunder City is really much more spectacular than being on the ground.

Standing on the flat ground and looking at Thunder City, all you can see is the endless houses, and it feels like the entire grassland has been cut off.

Standing at the top of the mountain, Thunder City is actually much smaller, and you can see its edge, and you can also see that the originally tall and majestic buildings have become low and low. The whole city has shrunk a lot more than imagined, whether it is the high banner of the temple, the high wall of the city lord's mansion, the fence tower of the military camp and the stone wall of the large gladiatorial arena, they have all become low and narrow, and even the Thunder Lake in the east of the city has become a small puddle the size of a palm......

Despite this, I can't help but be amazed in my heart, I can't tell if it's excitement or excitement, or something else, in short, I just feel that Thunder City is particularly majestic, and my heart inexplicably swells up with heroism, after all, I am also one of them now, defending the peace here......

"Wow!" Bojie took a deep breath and said, "It's, it's spectacular!" ”

Iru clasped her hands together and shouted up and down, "Ahhh

I didn't expect this little girl to make such a loud shout, and I was taken aback.

"Look at what, look!" Seeing that I was looking at her, Yilu gave me a blank look, "Shout out, and the mood will be much better!" As she spoke, she turned to Atayal Priest and said, "Sister Atayal, you can try it too, it's very interesting!" ”

"No, don't you......" Atayal Priest squirmed a little, "yelling, it's not good ......"

"What are you afraid of," Iruman didn't care, "and now there's no one else on the mountain!" ”

As she spoke, she glared at me, then at Bojie, and said, "They won't say anything!" ”

"Is it......" Atayal priest was still a little embarrassed.

"I don't say it!" Bojie hurriedly said.

"Hurry up!" Leo urged me, "Stupid! ”

"I'm not going to say it!" I paused and hurriedly said.

"Not this!" Leo said, "Shout too!" ”

"Oh!" I hurriedly agreed, and then quickly followed Iru's example, put my hands to my mouth, and shouted, "Ahhh

My voice was much louder than Iro's, and all three of them were startled.

"What! Scared the hell out of the chicks! Leo complained to me again.

"It's not you ......," I said curiously.

"Ahh

Priest Ataya looked at us in amazement.

"Encourage her!" Leo said.

"Come," I said quickly, "Atayal Priest ......"

Priest Atayal looked embarrassed, but finally nodded.

Then, too, she folded her hands and shouted at the bottom of the mountain, "Ahhh
