Chapter 14: I Do

The deeper you go, the fewer traces of the town's activities. Most people www.biquge.info don't go deep into these places to collect unless they spend the night here. Otherwise, they will choose to return from here and return to the town before dark.

Along the way, Riley harvested a lot, in addition to fresh mushrooms, he also picked a few delicious wild vegetables, which were almost too much to fit in the small basket. However, Leon and others were not so lucky, and so far they had not seen a single prey.

"Your Royal Highness, shall we continue to move on, if we go further inside, we will not be able to return to the town until it gets dark. "The Knights of York have gone out hunting with hunters before, so they have a general idea of what is going on here.

"Look any further, and if there is still no prey, go back. Leon didn't want to go home empty-handed, but he didn't want to sleep in the wilderness either, after all, the sleeping mats and others were not brought out, not to mention that Riley was with them.

"Riley, don't the townsfolk go further afield to gather?" Leon remembered something that might be implemented here.

"Yes, it's generally enough to pick up on the periphery. Most of these people are women and children, they don't like to spend the night in the wild, and there are too many other things that are inconvenient to carry. Riley nodded, as long as he was careful, it wouldn't be too much of a problem to walk around outside and fill the basket for most of the time.

"What about herbs, can you find enough on the periphery?" was Leon's concern.

"Very little, most of the herbs are gathered by hunters. ”

Knowing the situation, Leon decided to implement the idea: "York, didn't you say that there are no professional hunters in the town, and now there is. ”

Riley is excellent at treatment, whether it is a knife wound, a smash or a scald, but there is nothing he can do in the face of headaches and brain fever.

Now there are fewer hunters, and the output of herbs and furs is almost non-existent, which is not good for the development of the town. Leon decided to build a village in the mountains, with someone in charge of gathering and hunting, but don't underestimate the output here, there are special people who operate in a specific area every day, and they can provide the town with a lot of products every day.

The lumberyard is only half a day away, and the collected supplies can be transported to the town via the docks. This would free most of the people from the town-woods, and the saved labor could be sent to the vegetable base.

"It takes a lot of people to build a village. York unceremoniously poured cold water on it, and now the town's male labor force was largely distributed in the mines, wastelands, and barracks, where there were still people to build the village, and in addition, excellent hunters were called up to be archers.

"Of course I know, so this is the initial plan, and the specifics will have to be considered. Find a way to solve it in a month at the latest. "At the current pace, the people who reclaimed the wasteland will continue the task of the vegetable base after completing their work, and these people will be free in about a month.

"Your castle should be repaired more than a village. York didn't think it was a big deal to delay the construction of the village, and the townspeople didn't depend on the produce to make a living. But the prince's castle is different, it is a very old castle, there are cracks in several places, although the problem is not big, but the prince is now in a big development, the castle is a symbol of his status, even if it is not rebuilt, it must be repaired.

"I think the castle is very good. "If Leon had pursued the opulent man, he would have abandoned the town for other places. Or tear it down and rebuild it in the first place, why wait until now.

"Miss Riley, do you think the current castle matches the status of the prince?" York saw Riley on the side, trying to pull her into his camp.

"This ......" Riley looked at the two of them, feeling a little confused. She didn't know what the prince's castle should be, but the one in the town was really not good, and it was about the same level as the town's houses, but it was a little larger and the house was two stories high.

Riley was a little distressed, as if anything he said would upset the other person.

"The room I stayed in was pretty good. Riley thought about it, but still had to side with the prince, it was obvious that the consequences would be worse if the prince was angry. In order not to upset the knight of York too much, she chose to be more tactful, and her room was good, which meant that the castle was also good.

"Miss Riley......" York was about to tell her the truth, the prince would not be angry, but Leon was plotting.

"There is prey. Leon smelled his prey and quickly motioned for York to calm down.

The three of them listened quietly, and there was a sound of "zi, zi, zi" in the forest, and there was a prey walking on the fallen leaves.

Leon crouched down and slowly moved in the direction from which the sound came, while the bow he was carrying was already in his hand, and the white feather arrow in the quiver was also on the string.

Bypassing the rocks in front of him, Leon saw a short-tailed deer, which was small, only about half the size of an ordinary deer, but extremely fast, and it was not easy for a veteran who had been wandering the mountains and forests all year round to shoot an arrow.

"York, let's do it together. "Leon himself is not sure of the certainty, the two of them at least have one more probability. If they hit, it would be a bumper harvest today, and they could turn around and go back to the town.

The two of them concentrated and aimed the arrow at the bobtail deer grazing with their heads down.

"Ready, put. As the sound fell, two arrows shot out like white light.

The bobtail deer is alert by nature, and the sound of the bowstring sounds, and it immediately becomes alert. The arrow did not hit the vital point as expected, but landed in the thigh.

Not fatally wounded, the bobtail fled forward.

"Chase. Leon hurried to catch up. Now it can still run, but after a while the injury worsens it will not be able to run.

The bobtail deer shuttled through the forest and soon disappeared, and they found their way behind them with the help of bloodstains. Fortunately, Riley was not a rich lady, and he did not mean to lag behind in this mountain forest, and followed them closely.

"This little guy is really fast. After chasing it for a while without seeing it, York couldn't help but wonder if his speed had slowed down.

"Look, it's there. Riley found the prey lying next to the creek.

"Haha, a good harvest today. The York Knight carried the bobtail on his shoulder and laughed and said, I have been training every day these days, and I feel so comfortable relaxing today.

"Well, let's go. "Lyon also thinks it was a good day.

"Smack. ”

Just as they were leaving, a javelin struck from behind and stuck straight into the tree in front of them, piercing the trunk with the tip of the spear.

Leon felt a chill run through it, for if this shot had hit any of them, that person would never have been better than the tree in front of him.
