Chapter 10 Mine Theft

The caravan will arrive at Windy City tomorrow afternoon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Camping in the wilderness at night, and approaching a ravine near evening, Eden told the others to find a place to rest, and then called a highlander and ordered: "There are bandits in this vicinity, take two men to scout, watch out for the enemy." ”

The men of the caravan set up a campfire, the others arranged the goods in a rudimentary formation, and the merchants who followed the caravan hurriedly stopped to tend to the animals, which were basically the first to eat before they began to eat. Eden's daughter took a black thick-skinned notebook and went around calculating the supply of goods, telling the other men how much water, how much food, how much salt to replenish when they arrived at Windy City, which goods to be delivered first tomorrow, and which goods to be sent later. Basically, no matter how big or small, it can be seen that she is the core of this caravan, and Eden herself is just a powerful thug.

A shrill whistle came from the woods to the north.

Eden, who was taking care of the camel beast, suddenly changed his face and said loudly, "Dixon come with me!" Fra, Nordek, Mark, Vincent...... You stay and take care of the others......"

The Argonian, who had been lazily wiping the hilt of his sword, suddenly stood up, and his figure rushed into the woods with Eden like a cheetah, and the other caravan guards also dispersed vigilantly, allowing the others to gather behind the cart, Eden's daughter looked a little worried, but quickly ordered the others to hide behind the wagon.

About ten minutes later, Eden and the others appeared.

One of the first people who went out to investigate was wounded, and the wurmite was covered in blood, but it was all someone else's, and he threw a corpse on the ground like a toy with one hand in his hand.

A Northerner, a Argonian.

The Argonian named Dixon threw the corpse on the ground and spat at the corpse of the Argonian bandit on the ground: "Phew!

His expression was disdainful, and he didn't seem to have any affection for the bandits, even if they were of the same race.

The two men went over to help bandage the wounds, and Eden's daughter went up to ask a few words with a reassuring expression, but the other caravan guards were much more alert, and basically kept their knives on their bodies.

"Rest for the night ahead. Eden wiped the blood from his body and said, "Leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Stephen Zhou sat behind the camel beast and observed all this, he needed to know more about the aborigines of this world, and even imitate them to a certain extent, so that he could interact with other aborigines. Soon, Stephen Chow will begin to prepare to restore some of his strength, and this process will require the use of jewelry, gold, diamonds, and other materials, and he will definitely need to deal with merchants in the future. Following the caravan was that he didn't know where Windwind City was, and on the other hand, he was also collecting more information, and he would hoard wealth in the hands of the natives in the future, and then exchange the wealth for more rare materials.

No real wizards have been encountered yet.

Stephen Zhou preliminarily judged that this world was a low-demon civilization, and most of the intelligent races relied on talent, bloodline, and physical strength to fight, which may have something to do with the fact that this world had not erupted on a large scale [Elemental Tide]. By far the most dangerous targets of the encounters have been the shamanic voodoo priests of the Giant Clan. In terms of physical fitness, the aborigines of this world completely crush the other worlds that Stephen Zhou has been to, and Eden's strength is still unclear, but that Argonian is at least a warrior with a professional level of 12 or above, and it is already a small boss in other indigenous civilizations.

Contact Ms. Bichi, who I met at the beginning, there should be a lot of legendary professionals on the warrior side of this world.

A quiet night.

The caravan departed early the next day, arriving at Windwind City around three o'clock in the afternoon.

A short day or more of contact wasn't enough for Stephen Chow to make much of a friendship with the caravan, and he just greeted Eden's daughter before leaving. When the others arrived at the place, they went their separate ways, the traveling merchants who ran the single gang were busy getting rid of the goods, and Eden was also in a hurry to visit the people of the transaction, and basically everyone was very busy.

Windwind City is a large city with a population of nearly 100,000 people, and there are hundreds of towns and villages nearby.

Basically, if the indigenous civilization did not have the transportation and sea transportation, it would be difficult for the indigenous civilization to have a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions. The nobles here are all local tyrants, because the city is rich in mineral resources, and the minerals here belong to the noble class. The Normans were very fond of slaves, and the mines of Windy were home to thousands of slave prisoners of war.

The city was built over 300 years with a fifteen-meter-high wall, and was ruled by the Earl of Keaton, a typical Norman aristocrat who was old-fashioned, mean, conservative, and heavily discriminatory against other races.

The architectural style of the city is inclined to the Romanesque, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity, the road is a smooth bluestone road, planted with flowers and trees on both sides, there is a fountain in the central square, more than ten meters high marble sculptures are erected on both sides, and the inner city is surrounded by beautiful domed houses, which look like small villas, distributed with private gardens, where only Norman nobles are allowed to live, separated from the outer city by a low wall and the inner city river. The city's guards were almost all fully armoured, tall and silver-white knights, and the Normans possessed profound metallurgical skills, and the pride and pride inherent in their treatment of other races could be seen.

After having traveled so many places, Stephen Chow had to admit that the Normans did have the pride in the indigenous civilization.

Their cities were clean and tidy, with complete sewers and elevated aqueducts, and the Normans were very fond of marble architecture, and many of the majestic buildings were built entirely of marble.

The city has the heritage of ancient civilization, majestic and magnificent, representing the wisdom of the Normans.

However, like all ancient civilizations, the outside of the city was almost a mess, with dirty and messy dirt roads, haphazard slums, and thriving trade that made the outer city full of caravans, all kinds of mules, horses, camels, beasts, and livestock, and the smell of animal feces almost everywhere, and the smell of filthy and filthy gutters was simply immortal. The Normans were able to maintain the cleanliness of the city by restricting the entry of their livestock, and at the same time built a wall outside the slums to maintain the dignity of the city out of sight, and almost all the Norman nobles did not go near the confines of the slums.

The city severely discriminates against races other than humans, and basically Argonians, half-elves, and half-bloods who want to enter the city will be strictly censored.

But if you look like a Norman, then the guards who enter the city don't even ask.

Although it was only a brief contact, Stephen Zhou could feel that the Normans had a sense of pride and cohesion far beyond that of other races, and if history was to build an empire on this land, then there was no doubt that this empire would be built by the Normans.

They have conquered Dragon City, Northwind County, and Arantir, and while discriminating against other races, they have embraced xenologically intelligent beings.

..................

Just by what he saw on this journey, Stephen Zhou already felt that the rise of the Normans in the North was unstoppable!

But none of this has much to do with him, what he has to do now is to dig the corners of the Normans, the city of Windwind has very rich mineral resources, the difficulty of mining is much lower than that of other places, and the rich ore reserves are high. There are more than a dozen ore veins, large and small, rich in iron, copper and silver, which were firmly controlled by the Norman aristocracy to finance their growth.

What Stephen Chow has to do is go steal mines.

It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, the resources required for alchemy are very huge, and the accumulation of raw funds must be through some unconventional means.

The first step he had to do was to survey the veins.

The Normans heavily guarded the silver mines, which were also home to gold, and the Earl of Keaton valued this vein. Other than that, the other veins are much looser, all of which extend from the main vein, and this land is extremely rich in minerals.

Stephen Chow is now going to build an underground security base.

He would then dig a tunnel to the silver mines, where he was lacking gold at the moment, and he had to carefully mine it secretly under the noses of the Normans.
