Chapter 215: Cova River Town
The Cova River is the riverbed that Loscher has seen. Dried up by the burning of endless flames. But the name of the town was decided.
Because the evaporated water from the Cova River condenses in the sky above, bringing abundant rainfall to the town, the harvest here has been good. And so on and so forth, and the town took root here.
Luo Xue is now in such a small town, although the population is not even comparable to Fanshui Town.
There are not even simple walls and fences, because there are no monsters.
It is located in the middle of the forest country to the west, so it is a very safe area. Except, of course, a forbidden place nearby. As long as you don't rush to bother, there will be no problem.
Led by Gülen, Luo Xue came to this poor town.
There were only a few people, and it seemed that people had already left the town.
Still, you can see some people working hard. Weave containers from fresh vines. These are to cope with the upcoming merchants.
They would come here to buy winter wheat, which is the bulk of the town's income.
There are no adventurers' associations in the town, and no soldiers are stationed there. Hundreds of huts, barely beyond the confines of the village.
The town of Cowa River is divided into two districts, north and south. The southern area is the residence of the residents, close to the wheat fields. The North District is a business district. All currencies are traded here. There are also some exotic goods and shops here.
"Half a year ago, it wasn't so deserted. Gülen explained, coming to the main entrance of the town.
Half a year ago, the country of the forest issued a summoning order, ordering all the people in the town to contribute a large amount of labor and those who have stood up to go to the battlefield.
In the course of a year, the war between the Cangyue Kingdom and the Forest Country has never subsided, and has even intensified. Until the last six months ago, a major war broke out.
During that time, almost all the people were soldiers.
If you talk about the strength of the Forest Country, it can completely cope with the counterattack of the Cangyue Country, but it has to guard against the invasion of the secret France to the east. As a last resort, a part of the population was pulled out and rushed to the front.
And the town of Cova contributed all the strong men in the town. No matter how much the battle spirit is. was divided into a formation and went to the battlefield.
After fending off the most deadly attack, the Mori no Kuni lifted the defensive alert, and the recruited militia was able to return to their hometowns. And the trend of the war has also eased, and the country of Mori has sent a peace envoy group to the country of Cangyue to sign a peace treaty, and the country of Cangyue also has intentions in this regard.
It's just that in that war, a mysterious mage appeared in the country of Cangyue and released a forbidden spell, which affected the detachment of the strong men in the town of Cova River and almost wiped out the army, leaving only a small number of people to return home.
While listening to Gülen's explanation, he walked into the residential area.
Bumped into a hurried-looking man head-on, he groaned, touched his head, and then saw Gülen and his apprentice. and Luo Xue behind him.
"Uncle Glenn, are you training your own apprentice again?" the man saw Luo Xue following behind Grande with a ragged look, so he whispered to him.
"He's one of my guests, and I'm about to entertain him. Gülen turned around and glanced at Luo Xue, and after seeing Luo Xue's acquiescence, he began to introduce.
"What a rarity, it's been a long time since an outsider has come to the town of Kova. You have to treat him well for our town!" The man snorted, although he was a little strange about Luo Xue's appearance, but he still gave up his doubts and went about his own business.
In his hand, he carried a handful of wheat seeds, shining brightly, and walked towards the wheat field.
These are seeds that have been mixed with magical ingredients, and they grow very quickly, but the resulting wheat does not taste good and is not suitable for human consumption.
But it also has its own function, which is to give it to some large magic pets. For example, giant griffins, or some domesticated monsters that eat grass. Although the taste is not good, the nutritional value is much higher than other foods, and it is a special food for Warcraft.
Looking at the limping back, Luo Xue sighed: "Damn war." ”
It is no wonder that when I walked into the wheat field, I found that many of the open spaces had been abandoned. It turns out that there are not enough people......
Because of the abundance of the soil, the town of Kova was originally a town that got rich quickly, but because of the lack of numbers, it has always stayed in the stage of poverty.
"During the time I've been seeing, the number of people in the town of Kova has been declining, and maybe it won't be long before the town will disappear. ”
The population of the small town of Cova has been declining, and in addition to the impact just mentioned, part of it is because of the geography here, which is the main factor restricting the development of the town.
Without the support of the river, although the rainfall is abundant, the rain from time to time makes the town completely dependent on the sky for food.
The nearby city is too far from the town. If you say that you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take half a month of sleepless to arrive.
For one reason or another, the town could not develop at all.
"My apprentice is one of the children of this group of martyrs who died in battle. Gülen was moved and told Yalo's background.
Yalo listened silently to Gülen's words, and couldn't help but think of his parents.
The kind face was completely shattered in that war.
It's a sin to have a thin war spirit, but if the war spirit is strong enough, you won't die in that kind of war.
Yaluo had always held on to this idea until he was ruthlessly crushed by Luo Xue.
Thinking of this, Yaluo had a hint of admiration for Luo Xue, maybe as long as he learned this person's combat skills, he would be able to become more powerful than he was now.
All the way to Gülen's quarters, a fine house with a small three-storey pavilion with a spacious balcony. Absorbing the dusk sunlight.
After arranging Luo Xue's accommodation, Gülen made a plea.
Luo Xue knew what Gülen meant, and he couldn't educate his apprentice, so he wanted Luo Xue to help give Yaluo some tips. But Luo Xue didn't have any interest.
The obvious friendship made Luo Xue frown. He had only come here to find a place to rest, and now he didn't want to dwell too much, so he rejected Gülen's offer.
"I'm used to acting alone, so let me walk around by myself. Luo Xue pondered for a while, and then said.
Glenn's eyebrows clearly flashed with disappointment, but to Luo Xue's surprise, Yaluo had the same expression. It seems that this teenager is also hoping to get some plucking.
Night...... The town's sky was fleckled with stars, twinkling.
On the windowsill on the third floor, Luo Xue leaned on the railing and looked up at the starry sky.
"Fan Xi'er told me that every star here is a small world...... Luo Xue counted the stars quietly and muttered to herself: "I hope to find your ......" (to be continued.) )
