Chapter 288: The Farm and the Horse Bandits (1)
Ferren was not a peaceful place, a hundred times more dangerous than the European Middle Ages. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is definitely not a good place for ordinary people like the original world of Zhou Dong's hometown, otherwise there is someone who can match him with a plug-in outside the rules.
To describe how dangerous and harsh the living environment of ordinary humans in the Faren Continent is, it only takes a few words to outline it clearly.
On the road only a day's journey from the big city, even a small caravan could not escape the poisonous hands of robbers without an obviously strong escort.
It's not safe in a big city, and if an adventurer provokes a dragon or a powerhouse of similar rank, and then chases them all the way to the city, killing the reptiles in their eyes and destroying a city by the way, it is not a big deal in the eyes of these powerful beings.
A legendary spell that can destroy a city with a single blow, a dragon that burns down several streets with a single dragon fire, and a ruthless ruler who sets heavy taxes...... It's very hard for the people at the bottom to just live forever.
When Zhou Dong leaves the hunter's hut on the edge of the sea cliff and embarks on an adventure, danger and opportunity will always follow him.
Tesser, one of the largest countries in Faerun, is home to vast plains and forests that are home to non-human creatures.
The wilderness and wasteland are filled with wandering bandits, evil humanoids, magical beasts, and many other troubles that should not be underestimated, and adventurers must be on high alert as they travel through or stay in these areas.
As for the route of the trip, Zhou Dong planned to follow the trade road that had made Moss Stone famous and built on the edge of the town.
It could be said that the route was along the coastline of the West Coast, all the way to the north, and then the next section of the road was the Bay Shore Highway, but Zhou Dong planned to spend some time in Amm on the way.
His final destination is to climb over the Spine of the World to Icewind Dale to collect some interesting beasts, creatures, ores, herbs, and other things that will definitely be used for some experiments.
If he can, Zhou Dong also hopes to get a residency to become a general metallurgist to provide a foundation for the establishment of a laboratory, and it is also best to gather some talents with scientific thinking potential.
As the embodiment of AO, Haas has inquired about Zhou Dong's real plans in the past ten years, but he can't get the answers he wants.
This is because Zhou Dong only has a purpose and does not have a detailed plan.
To put it bluntly, he intends to use all the elements he encounters on the journey to guide them to the ultimate goal and serve them.
Since leaving the hunter's hut in the morning, Zhou Dong first went to the birthplace of his avatar, where the hunter family lived.
However, Zhou Dong walked on the field, looked up and squinted at the sun overhead, the light fell on his body warmly, and the wind in the surrounding field also embraced him, there was no industrial pollution here, which was somewhat one of the advantages.
Similarly, although this world is very unfriendly to civilians and low-level people compared to the original world, that unfriendliness is only based on people who are favored by the goddess of doom and who are willing to be mediocre.
In this world, there are mages who can live for thousands of years, there are undead lichs, there are powerful dragons, and there are gods in the high, all of which are not found in the relatively peaceful other world.
Again, there are some decisive, fundamentally different.
Zhou Dong's ears heard some strange movements in distant destinations, and he immediately drew the short bow behind his back and mounted an arrow.
The body of the short bow is made with rich bow making knowledge from another world, and this weapon is much better than the ordinary hunter wooden bow in this world in terms of range, stability, durability and other performance.
In order to take a shortcut, Zhou Dong drilled into a forest from the field, and then at the edge of the forest, leaning against a big tree to observe the farm a hundred meters away.
The granaries and main house of the farm were already on fire, and a group of lightly armoured and horse-mounted bandits were fleeing south with their plunder.
Zhou Dong frowned, put away the short bow, pulled out the double knives from his waist with his backhand, and then approached that side with one positive and one backward.
There were more than a dozen corpses piled up in the clearing, many of them he remembered, relatives and friends who had tried to beat him up for the idea of his incarnate parents' inheritance.
Although because of the health of this incarnation's body, Zhou Dong can feel complete human feelings in him, but due to the influence of the main body, he does not have much emotional fluctuations, only about 30% of the emotional value of ordinary people.
There were also some faint screams in the burning house, as if they had been locked up in the house by the horse bandits, and they were afraid that they had been burned alive.
And survivors, right?
Zhou Dong radiated his spiritual energy and felt the fluctuations in the consciousness of other intelligent beings.
If according to the rules of this world, Zhou Dong should be a dual class, a dual cultivation ranger and a psychic warlock.
In the world of Torreel, that is, on this planet, and even on the continent of Faeron, which is specially centered, psychic abilities are very rare, and most people don't know anything about it.
It's not uncommon, though, but psychic abilities are usually only found in a very small number of special monster races, such as snake people, gray dwarves, and spiritsuckers, the latter of which are even more powerful.
Similarly, in the big countries of Waterdeep, Am, and Kalinsan, there will be one or two relatively strong and famous psychic manlocks.
Typically, Psychic Warlocks and Psychic Samurai are treated in the same way as Mystic Spellcasters, at least in those regions and groups that welcome or accept mages.
And in areas where mages are afraid, such as Am, they have to be cautious and pay attention to their words and actions.
Since psychic energy or psychic energy is seen as one in this world, psychic casters often see it as a rare but formidable competitor, and it is best to hide their talents when encountering mages or priests who are prone to suspicion and suspicion.
Because of this, Zhou Dong's avatar generally doesn't use psychic abilities casually, unless it is necessary to do so now.
Now, he couldn't sense anyone other than himself in the farm, but he sensed two anxious mental fluctuations rushing towards him.
"No!"
Two screams sounded after him, and Zhou Dong turned to look at a man and a woman who came along the road to the east of Moss Stone City.
The young man was thin but agile, and when he saw this, he saw Zhou Dong holding a pair of scimitars, and immediately rushed towards him with red eyes.
In comparison, Zhou Dong's incarnate body is one meter nine tall, and his naturally well-proportioned and large skeleton coupled with the toned body that has been trained in the wilderness, seaside, and mountains all year round makes him look more like a warrior than a ranger.
