Chapter 877: Tangled People

It is difficult for people who have not been to the city of Ferrut to imagine how big this city is, but when people understand that when the Northland enters winter, the entire Northland tribes will gather in Ferrut for the winter, they should be able to think that this city is definitely not small.

In order to accommodate the customs of each tribe and to avoid conflict between the tribes, the Ferut tribal council not only established rules such as not allowing the use of arms in the city, but also built separate settlements for each tribe, and built high walls around the settlements, nominally to protect the tribes from other tribes, but in fact to separate the tribes from communication.

Even in recent years, the tribal council has drawn people from various families in the city in the winter to establish a joint patrol team to assist the guards in the city to patrol the streets every day, and the closer to the outer city, the more people in the patrol team, because most of the tribes in the outer city are small tribes, and they are brave and fierce, and a little quarrel will cause a death fight, so the number of weapon fights occurs in winter every year, and the casualties are also the most.

Originally, a joint patrol like this year was going to be organized, but the civil war that happened this year made the families in the city no longer have enough manpower to form a patrol, and even if there were enough people, no family was willing to send people to join the patrol, after all, after a civil war, each family had a lot of enemies, and if they left the family's control zone to patrol other areas, they might never return.

It is precisely because of the absence of this joint patrol to maintain law and order that the cut-off city near the periphery has become very chaotic this winter, except for the hotel where Leo and the others live and its surrounding area, the other city has become a small battlefield, almost every day all kinds of fights take place here, here two places are the most profitable, one is the tavern and the other is the hospital.

The Longhorn tribe is not a large tribe, and they are arranged to live in the second level of the city, and when entering the second level of the city from the outermost city, they also have to pass through a city gate, and this gate is much more strict, but this severity is only for those Northland tribesmen who live in the outermost city, and foreign travelers like Leo can easily be allowed to go.

Like an ordinary spiral traveler, Leo hired a local guide at the city gate to take him on a tour of the city, which was necessary for Ferut, because in addition to allowing outsiders to avoid having any urban planning in Ferut. In addition to getting lost in the labyrinth of roads and neighborhoods, it is also to avoid some unnecessary trouble, because many of the tribes living on the outskirts of the city live by plundering, and they do not mind changing the target of robbery from poor tribesmen to rich foreign travelers.

Leo, who was dressed differently, naturally became the target of this tribe, although Leo's stature was much taller and stronger than that of the Northland tribesmen, but for the Northland tribesmen, the southerners were hairy sheep, which looked big and strong, but in fact they were very weak, and as long as they were a little intimidating, they would obediently take out the money.

It's just that the guide hired by Leo is obviously very reliable, not only does he take Leo around the city like a few treasures, introducing the origin of every building and every tribe in the settlement, but he can also detect some ill-intentioned northern tribesmen in time, and before the other party does something irrational, he first shows the badge representing his family, which is enough to make people unhappy.

After touring most of the city, the guide took Leo to the vicinity of the Longhorn Tribe's settlement, which was obviously more tense than that of other tribes, not only the other tribesmen on the outskirts of the settlement, but also the guards who walked back and forth on the wall of the Longhorn Tribe's settlement.

Although the tribal councils built walls of isolation and defense on the periphery of each settlement when they were first built, they were only symbolic, and no one really thought that such walls would keep people from outside.

But now the Longhorn tribe has rebuilt this wall with simple materials in their hands, and built several rows of shelves on the inside, and the tribe's guards walked back and forth on the shelves, and also set up a tent around the corner, and in normal times, the guards can stay in the tent to hide from the wind and snow.

Leo knew exactly what was going on, but asked the guide about it.

"A bunch of ground rats whose brains have been burned by the bounty!" the guide glanced disdainfully at the tribesmen hiding in the shadows, like most of the tribesmen who lived in the city, and he also despised these people living in the tundra of the Northland, and after a simple remark, he said no more, as if any more mention of these people would make him as disgusted as if he had eaten worms.

It's just that, compared to the people of other tribes around him, when he mentioned the Longhorn tribe, his attitude was a little better, and he said: "The patriarch of the Longhorn tribe is very smart, knowing that he can't eat the bounty alone, he has found a big family that can be relied on, and soon they will become the vassal families of that big family, and they may also move to the city to live." ”

"Can you live in the city as long as you become a vassal of the big tribe?" asked Leo casually as he scanned all the surrounding terrain through the spirit web.

"If in the past, you could settle in the city if you wanted to, but now there are other rules, and becoming a vassal of the big family is just a condition. The guide explained briefly, not intending to say too much about the matter, but explained that it was too chaotic to stay for long, and then left the Longhorn tribe's residence with Leo.

After that, Leo asked the guide to take him to other urban areas, this guide seems to be from a large family, and he did not encounter too many difficulties with the gatekeepers when he entered other urban areas, and the whole city toured the city, and the day almost passed.

The reason why the city of Ferut is the north-south hub is not only the only large city in the Northlands, but also because it was built right at the foot of the Ferut Mountains.

The Ferut mountain itself is the easiest mountain to climb in the nearby Vienovian Mountains, and the fact that the French Empire has been widening, resting and maintaining the mountain path over the years has made this mountain path much more convenient, except for the fact that the ice on the road in winter puts those who walk on it in danger of sliding off the cliffs on the side of the road.

Anyone who wants to enter the territory of the Southern Fran Empire from the Northlands, or from the territory of the Northlands, needs to climb over this high mountain, of course, there are some smugglers and smugglers who will go around the heavily jammed Ferut Mountain, and walk the other mountains on both sides, but most of the results end in tragedy, either encountering various accidents on the way to the mountain, or getting lost in the process of climbing, accidentally entering the Black Forest, and never coming out again.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the most experienced smugglers can guarantee that they will be able to reach the opposite side of the mountain safely without going to the Ferrut Mountain.

Leo didn't ask the guide too much about Mount Ferrut, except that the guide didn't know much about Mount Ferrut, and more importantly, he was now a tourist from the French Empire, so he didn't need to ask about it at all.

What's more, Leo didn't plan to enter Flange from Mount Ferut in the first place, they would take other roads that were very dangerous for ordinary people, bypassing the various checkpoints set up by the Flange Empire at both ends of Mount Felut.

When Leo returned to the hotel, it was already night, and Sylvia and the others were all leisurely staying in the hotel room, doing their own business with a fire, and after seeing Leo come back, Mister and Randall, who had been a little absent-minded all day, asked Leo how he was doing with the news of the Longhorn tribe.

Leo didn't say much, and went straight to the point: "There is no problem, you can act tonight, you clean up, you do it yourself tonight, we are only responsible for solving those who get in the way, so that the people of the Longhorn tribe cannot resist." ”

"What? We'll do it ourselves?" and both Mister and Randall were stunned, not reacting for a moment.

Leo replied calmly: "Of course you take revenge yourself, do you still want us to help you with such a thing as revenge? We don't have a grudge against the Longhorn tribe, we only help you because of your relationship with Sylvia." ”

"This ......" The scholar couple couldn't help but hesitate at the moment.

From the beginning, they thought that when it came time to take revenge on the Longhorn Tribe, they just had to stand aside, and they didn't even have to stand aside, Leo would take out the people of the Longhorn Tribe, but now they knew from Leo's mouth that they were the ones who did it in the end, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

It's not that they haven't killed people, in fact, on the way to the Northland, they not only killed people, but also killed the monsters in the swamp that tried to eat them, but the people and monsters they killed were all when they were faced with a life-and-death decision, and if they didn't kill each other, they would die.

But now from Leo's mouth, they heard that the person they were going to kill tonight would not have any resistance, they only had to insert a sharp weapon into the opponent's vital point, which made them feel at a loss, and felt like a butcher.

Both Mister and Randall had their thoughts written on their faces, and Sylvia sighed when she saw it, and said, "Go back to your room and get ready! By the way, think clearly, do you want revenge?"

After listening to Sylvia's suggestion, the two didn't say anything and walked out of the room silently.

"Hmph, two weak guys, are you sure you want to take them with you?" said Tessa Mocha with disdain after the two left.

Growing up on the edge of the Moissanite wilderness, Tessa M. Mocha knows very well what it means to have grievances and revenge, like these grudges against Mister and Randall, in her opinion, there is no need to hesitate at all, not to mention Leo and them to help, even if there is no Leo and them to help, they have to find a way to solve the longhorn tribe, so the performance of Mister and Randall is too weak in her opinion, and they are not the right people to be companions, especially those things to do after going to the French Empire, bringing these two people will only cause them a lot of trouble.

Sylvia ignored Tessa Mocha's complaints, but looked at Leo and explained, "When we get to Winter Rin, I'll arrange for someone to send them to the United Kingdom, and they won't cause us any trouble." ”

Leo looked at Sylvia with some puzzlement and asked, "Since you don't want them to take revenge, why don't you just persuade them, but instead make such a big detour?"

Sylvia sighed and said, "I will only misunderstand them if I persuade them directly, and they will not listen to other people's persuasion in their situation at that time, this kind of thing can only be figured out by themselves." With that, she looked at Leo and asked, "Do you think I shouldn't dissuade them from taking revenge?"

"Whether they are revenge or not, it doesn't mean anything to me. Leo replied coldly, looked at Sylvia, and said, "I'm just curious how you can sympathize with the people of the Longhorn Tribe?"

"I'm not sympathetic to them, I just think it'......," Sylvia hesitated for a moment, "and I think what they're doing might be a good thing." ”

Hearing Sylvia's answer, Leo and Tessa Mocha were both stunned, and then looked at each other, waiting for the other to explain further.

"Even without the wanted warrant of the Francous Empire and the bounty of the Hanosa Alliance, it is absolutely impossible for those who decide to flee to the Northlands to survive, and all the tribes of the Northlands will not allow anyone else to occupy this land. Sylvia explained with a serious expression: "You may not know that more than a hundred years ago, the Hanosa League sent a team to occupy a relatively fertile land near the swamps of the Black Forest and grow food. As a result, the various tribes of the Northland united together, formed a large army, and killed all the people of the Hannosa Alliance, and more than 20,000 heads were built into a human head tower, knowing that the Hannosa Alliance was allowed to collect those heads more than fifty years ago, and the Hannosa Alliance did not dare to set foot in the North again because of this incident. That's why the Hanosa Coalition doesn't hunt down the mutants after they cross the Black Forest swamps. ”

"There is such a thing. Tessa Mocha said with some surprise.

Leo, on the other hand, was not too surprised, for he had seen some relevant records from the old man Rembrandt, and knew a little about it, but not as much as Sylvia.

"Do you think that if those mutants succeed in settling in the Northlands this winter, more people will flee to the Northlands," Tessa Mocha guessed, "and if those people are killed by the Northlanders, then the mutants of the Hanosa Alliance will know that the Northlands are not safe and will flee to the South." As she spoke, she wondered, "But what does this have to do with the revenge of those two people? Even if they take revenge, won't the mutants also know that the Northland is not safe?"
