Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 37 Farrier

The world may be different, but human nature is always the same. 【】

There has never been love and hate for no reason, and there is no loyalty at any price. Rock hammer and other bear hammers respect and serve Leon. Contributions made and acts of treating others with sincerity and heart.

So when it comes to his attitude towards Aklan, a follower, Leon holds the same principle, giving enough benefits and hope for the future in exchange for at least the loyalty during this long journey, rather than relying on the two sides' in-depth cooperation. Contracts signed under unequal conditions to enforce each other.

This is also one of the means of controlling subordinates. Of course, Leon hopes to have as many talents as Aklan under his command, the better, but it must be under the circumstances of your will, otherwise it is better not to.

No doubt his magnanimity touched the young magician so deeply that he did not know how to answer it.

"It's still a long way, you can think about it slowly, my promise is always valid!" Leon smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Lei, wait for me!"

Suddenly, there was an urgent shout from behind.

Leon, Rock Hammer and the others were stunned for a moment, and turned back together.

I saw the bushes shaking violently tens of meters behind, and a figure rushed out of it, which was the fire hammer.

Little Xiong Hammer was carrying a bow and arrow, and was carrying an animal skin bag in his hand. He was panting all the way, and when he reached Leon, he said loudly, "Brother Lei, I want to go to Tormund City with you!"

This guy actually followed Leon's team all the way!

"Nonsense!" Leon frowned, and said with a straight face: "Go back to the tribe, I will not take you to the Beamon Kingdom!"

"But the elders have already agreed!" Little Bear Hammer yelled, "If you don't take me with you, I will always follow you!"

This guy!Leon couldn't laugh or cry. It is estimated that Elder Monstein agreed to it because he was pestered by him. With his personality, he would really do such a thing.

"Forget it, since the elder agrees, you can go together!" Leon said solemnly: "But you must obey my order, if you mess around, I would rather go back to the tribe than take you with me!"

"Okay!" The little bear hammer jumped three feet high, and quickly climbed onto the back of a gray hunchback.

Since Leon and his party were disguised as a small caravan, in addition to everyone having a mount, there were also several gray camels loaded with goods, which were actually supplies on the road. It was not a problem to bring a fire hammer.

"I'll buy you a cloak when it's near Blackstone Town, and you must be honest and not reveal your identity along the way!" Leone shook his head vigorously.

Leon has always liked this little bear hammer, so he didn't insist on objecting. It is also a good thing to let him go with him to see the world.

Through the sparse woods, one can vaguely reach the vast plain ahead, which belongs to the territory of the human race.

"Boss, I've made up my mind..." Aklan suddenly said when the group was about to leave the forest, "No matter what choice I make in the future, this time I will definitely do my best to help you complete your journey!"

"That would be the best!" Leon grinned, looking into the distance.

Although the road ahead is full of ups and downs and dangers, as long as you have hope and goals in your heart, you will be afraid!

...

The clear sky is blue and pure as if it has been washed. Because it has just snowed, the snow on the plain has not completely melted, and there are mottled and bare land everywhere, colorful in white, green, yellow and black. Huge palette.

The Nucang River roared and surged from one side of the plain to the east, creating a large swamp on both sides of the river bank. Although it was already winter, many egrets and waterfowl could still be seen dancing in the swamp, looking for food.

On a barely smooth road, a caravan hurried past.

It has been four days since Leon and the others left the Howling Forest. After traveling day and night, they are not far from Farrier City.

The farther to the east, the closer to the settlements of the human race, the villages and towns on the plain gradually increased, and both sides of the road were neatly separated by wheat fields.

The wheat has been harvested a long time ago, and the piles of wheat stacks are an eternal landscape on the winter plain, and the little shadows in the distance are scattered farmhouses, which do not have a rural style.

In order to avoid trouble and the danger of revealing their identities, Leon and the others camped in the wild, and the camping along the way was quite difficult.

"After passing the hills, you can reach Farrier City!" Aklan said loudly, pointing to a rolling hilly area not far away.

The magician was born on the outskirts of Farrier City, studied and grew up in Farrier City, but he was about to return to this city, but there was no excitement on his face, and his brown eyes were full of complex expressions.

Everyone couldn't help speeding up, and it didn't take long to cross the hill.

A majestic city immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It stood on the plain, on the south bank of the Nucang River, protected by a long city wall, and one could clearly see the towering buildings in the city, and the long and pointed roofs of the pavilions. dense as a forest!

The most eye-catching thing is a gray and white tower located in the center of the city, majestic and lonely.

"That's the magic tower of Farrier City Mage Academy, where I once studied..." Aklan said lightly: "It is because of this magic tower that Viscount Samuel can firmly grasp the The earl conferred a larger territory."

Viscount Samuel is the lord of Farrier Land, and his Salvage family belongs to a local wealthy family in the Kingdom of Otto. They control the vast territory from Farrier City to Howling Forest, including Blackstone Town.

Leon now knows a lot about the situation in this continent. The nobles of the human race are divided into seven levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, Lord, and Jazz. Nobles with territories are usually hereditary titles, and hereditary viscounts can barely rank among the upper class. Among the nobles, but such a large territory is rarely owned even by a hereditary earl.

Leon heard from Aklan that the Salvic family once had a marquis, but they were defeated in the kingdom's power struggle, but the territory was still retained.

And now their situation is not very good. After all, this large and fertile territory is very enviable, and the nobles who have no territory in the capital of King Otto are a big catch.

Leon didn't care about the Salvic family who controlled the Farrier Territory. He just wanted to cross the Nucang River. He had to use the ferry at the northern suburb of Farrier City, so it was still very important to know the local situation. Necessary.

"My idea is that we rent a place near the northern suburbs pier to live temporarily. There are many houses there that are specially rented out to caravans." Aklan said to Leon: "Then the two of us went to the city and arrived at the city. The Mercenary Union will hire a reliable guide, as long as things go well, we will be able to cross the Nucang River tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you are the most familiar with the situation here, everything is arranged by you!" Leon nodded and said.

There is no doubt about employing people, and since Leon chooses to trust Aklan, of course he will conditionally support his arrangement.

The city of Farrier is not isolated on the plain. Except for the north, the east, south, and west sides are surrounded by numerous villages, manors, and even small towns, divided by dense roads and trails.

According to Aklan, there are more than [-] residents who have settled in Farrier City and its suburbs for a long time. The merchants, mercenary adventurers, and homeless people who come and go cannot be counted. This is the core essence of the entire Farrier Territory.

Although it is winter, there are not many pedestrian caravans on the road, especially the road leading to the North Suburb Wharf is very busy with people coming and going, long caravans are endless, and groups of mercenaries It can be seen everywhere, and the exuberant popularity makes it full of vitality.

Therefore, Leon's small team did not attract anyone's attention at all, and adventurers wearing cloaks abounded.

Leon noticed that there were heavily armed cavalry patrolling back and forth on the road. These cavalry in light armor were all sturdy and proud, riding tall horses with majesty.

The pedestrian caravan on the road gave way consciously when they saw the cavalry.

"This is the patrolling cavalry of the Farrier City Garrison, and the mercenaries can't conflict with them, otherwise the consequences will be serious." Aklan introduced to Leon in a low voice, his eyes full of fear.

"Have you suffered from them?" Leon was curious.

Aklan smiled wryly and did not answer, but his expression was enough to explain the problem.

The team entered the dock area, and the Nucang River was just ahead.

The raging and raging river between the forest and mountains has become much gentler here. There are many ships on the open river, and the dark brown sails and white masts form a unique picture.

Many merchant ships were docked at the pier, and the sailors and workers were busy carrying the goods,

The area of ​​the dock area is huge, Leon looked around, there were various shops and warehouses everywhere, and there was a large market not far away.

"Hey! Honorable Master Mage, do you need accommodation or hire a ship? We have the best hotels and merchant ships, and we can provide services at any time!"

Several people with the appearance of local snakes surrounded them, and enthusiastically said: "There is a girl, a beautiful girl!"

"Go away, we have a reservation!" Aklan said coldly, without any pretense.

Hearing Aklan's pure Farrier accent, several local vipers immediately flinched and turned to find others.

"These people are basically liars. Believing in them is no different from believing in the devil..." Aklan said disdainfully, "That's why I went to the mercenary union to find a guide."
