Chapter 642: Mountain People

The City of Scholars, located in the northeast of the City of Freedom, tends to be hinterland on the territory of the entire Snow Wolf Country, and further north is the vast grassland, and the south is a large area of mountains and forests, and the town of Bairui is hidden in the mountains and forests, as a small town like the gateway of the City of Scholars.

This location is still easier to walk from the royal city on the east side of the ground, because the terrain is relatively flat and the population is dense, but if you go from the free city to the past, it will be a little troublesome, not to mention the high mountains and dense forests on the way, and bandits are rampant.

Luna's trip only left Free City and traveled northeast for half a month, and she encountered three waves of robberies in the mountains and forests.

This is the result of Barry and Chester, with their years of experience abroad, carefully studying the map and picking a relatively small path to follow.

Kicking away the last of the robbers who had pounced on her, apparently malnourished, Luna raised her hand and rubbed the tiny beads of sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and walked over, ripping the robber's shirt from the top of the robber who had fallen to the ground and wailing on her stomach, tying the man's hands behind her.

When the bundle was over, Luna went to see the others, and seeing that she didn't need her help, she sat down on the back of the robber, gasping for breath.

In fact, these people said that they were robbers, which is not accurate, more precisely, these are just nearby mountain people.

Because the winter is coming to an end, the stock of food is getting smaller, so he ran out to rob, and the force value is compared to the professional robbers that Luna has seen in the past, that is a scum, but also because of the overfamiliarity with the terrain, it is difficult to entangle, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and it is nothing more than that.

"Guarding such a large area of mountains and forests, why do you want to run out and rob them?!" Tracy snorted angrily after finishing the man in his hand, and followed Luna's example, and put a living person under his ass to rest.

Only her weight, which was seriously overweight, sat on the thin and withered robber, and the robber's face turned blue almost immediately, and it was obvious that he was about to lose his breath.

The corners of Luna's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't care? Just quietly looking at the forest in the distance in a daze? Wait for a few males in Barry and gather the captured people into a pile.

The wave of robbers they encountered this time was a litter of rats and orcs? Absolutely impressive amounts? But there are only a few who can catch it, and most of them are realizing the moment they hit the hard stubble? Drill into the woods, and disappear in the blink of an eye.

This is also the place? Another reason for the perennial banditry.

"This winter? There's nothing to do, these guys can add three cubs to their family, and if they don't rob, what will they do to make a living? In less than two years? The turf can be gnawed bald by them. ”

Chester took one hand at hand, and threw these two not too young rat orcs into the captive pile, which was to help Tracy, a little female who had just come out to break out, to supplement his common sense.

"Don't you care about the surrounding towns?"

Tracy looked at the men and frowned.

Although her life has not been easy since the loss of her father? But in her inherent impression, the soldiers in armor are still very powerful? Although it is also fierce to ordinary people, in her hometown? If there is a bandit, there will be soldiers to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible.

Chester actually wanted to say something when he heard this? Those soldiers are in charge of P? Eat and drink them first? None of them are really reliable, but because of Luna's relationship, he swallowed it back.

Luna smiled and glanced at Chester before speaking:

"These are considered extrajudicial people, not registered. Although there are people who pay it every once in a while, they live in the mountains, and they can't pay it cleanly. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these people were raised locally to accumulate military merits. ”

Most of these mountain people are some rat tribes with overly strong reproductive ability, which can be regarded as a historical legacy and a kind of survival of the fittest by natural selection.

The rat orcs can't be said not to be diligent, on the contrary, they are actually very industrious, but they are not only industrious in work, but also in reproduction, if they are not allowed to give birth uninterruptedly in a year, twelve months, more than twelve cubs can be added.

And because of the limitations of the rat orcs' own physique, they can't do the work that requires too much physical strength.

Slowly, not to mention that the various estates do not accept such tenants who eat more than they produce, even the nobles who buy waiters will not choose rat orcs, even if they buy them, they will buy the kind that have been castrated.

In this way, day after day and year after year, the rat orcs who had nowhere to live gradually migrated into the ownerless mountains to provide for themselves, but when the resources in the mountains could not fill their rapidly increasing number, they began to go down the mountain to rob.

Tracy's mouth was slightly open for these things he had never heard of, obviously still digesting.

Barry looked at the sky and frowned after counting the number of rat orcs caught this time, there were only seven of them, and there were more than twenty rat orcs caught.

Pressed to the town, although a rat orc mountain man can exchange for a bounty ranging from five to ten copper coins, these people are not worth two silver coins in total, which is not enough for them to delay the time and the cost of staying in the hotel.

According to their past habits, this kind of person is not caught, and they can be killed directly, and they can be exchanged for money if they cut off their ears, but Luna didn't seem to want to kill these people, and as soon as she rushed up, she told them not to kill, although Barriba didn't know why, but she didn't think much about it.

Seeing Barry's face look embarrassed as he looked at the rat orcs, Luna got up and went over, lowered Barry's ears and muttered.

She didn't kill these mountain people, not that she was soft-handed, but not long after entering this vast mountain forest, Alpha, whose job is mining, was extremely excited.

Along the way, there is a constant noise in Luna's mind, counting how many good things Luna misses.

Although there are some strange mineral deposits that Alpha has exploded, Luna has never heard of it, let alone knows what it can do, but I have to say that with getting along with Luna, Alpha, an intelligent system, can be regarded as a thorough analysis of the owner.

In order to bring into play the mining attributes that come with its own program, it directly threw two baits, one is deformed steel, and the other is gold ore.

Morphed steel, in the true sense, is not a single mineral, but a composite of several minerals contained in the soil through the root system of vines, and if there is technology for deep processing, it is far more valuable than the morphed steel itself, but this does not mean much to Luna.

According to Alpha, if the vines are planted here, the annual output of deformed steel collected can be calculated in tons, which is enough for her to be tempted.
