It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 374

The strange appearance of the other party caught Cheng Dalei's attention. It was a man with blond hair stuck together, bruises hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his hands were tied with hemp rope and tied behind the horse.

This is clearly not a Middle-earth person. Cheng Dalei has been in the grassland for so long, and he has heard some rumors.

It is rumored that outside the Qinchuan Pass, there is a country in the extreme west across the desert and mountains. The appearance, customs and customs of the people there are completely different from the empire, and they are called the Yi people.

There are often Yi people's caravans here, so this place is not unfamiliar to the Yi people, and there are half of the Yi people's blood in Yin Eye.

Cheng Dalei was still very curious about this legendary country in the extreme west, but after staying here for so long, he never met a Yi people caravan once, and today is the first time he saw a Yi people.

His eyes fell on the Rong tribe and asked, "What's your name?"

"Black dog with black horns." The man pressed his chest with his hand.

Cheng Dalei's eyes fell on the Nayi people and said, "I want this person, you can take my arrows to Qinchuan Pass in exchange for food."

Cheng Dalei threw a crossbow arrow, Wu Jiao raised his hand to catch it, and said with a smile, "We originally planned to send it to the Cheng family. We are embarrassed to take the food from the Cheng family."

"Okay, okay, when did you Rong people learn to be so polite?" Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "How did this person come here?"

"I met it on the grassland, and I didn't say a word after I was caught." Wu Jiao.

The Yi people were sent to Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei slashed the hemp rope in his hand with his sword and looked at him.

"I'm Qin Chuan Guan Cheng Dalei, now, what's your origin?"

The man looked at Cheng Dalei with unease, confusion, fear and curiosity in his eyes.

"Why, you don't speak imperial language?"

Although the empire suffered repeated defeats in the war with the Rong, there was no doubt that the culture of the empire was strong. The Rong people do not have their own language or writing. Although some small tribes have strange dialects, most of them still use the imperial dialect as their common language.

As for the situation in the country of the extreme west, Cheng Dalei didn't understand it, and they didn't know the language here.

"Kane Doyle, Norton Kingdom, see the process master." The man bowed his head slightly with one hand. The Empire's speech is still very standard, but the accent is a bit strange.

The country of the extreme west is just the name of the empire to others, and they call themselves the Norton Kingdom.

I originally planned to go out with Fan Lihua to relax today, but I didn't expect to encounter Kane, and the good distraction was ruined. Cheng Dalei took Kane back to Qinchuan Pass, and asked him to clean up first, and make simple treatment of the wound on his body.

Cheng Dalei is still very curious about the country of the extreme west itself. According to rumors, the country of the extreme west is good at odd skills and ingenious, and there are many strange gadgets.

After Kane packed up, Xu Shenji led him to the General's Mansion. Cheng Dalei was sitting in the hall drinking tea leisurely. Seeing Xu Shenji leading Kane in, Cheng Dalei couldn't help but be stunned.

This man is really handsome, with golden hair draped over his shoulders, blue eyes as deep as sea water, and a strong and tall body, as fit as an ancient Greek sculpture.

"Thank you Cheng Dalei for saving me. I pay high tribute to you. I will never forget your kindness."

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite." Cheng Dalei waved his hand and let Kane sit down.

"How did you get here?"

"I set out with the caravan, but I was caught in a storm halfway through and lost with everyone, and finally fell into the hands of those barbarians. If it wasn't for Cheng Dang's family who saved me, I'm afraid that I would have been tortured to death by those barbarians."

When he said this, Kane gritted his teeth, it seems that not only in the eyes of the empire, but also in the Norton Kingdom, the Rong tribe is also a barbarian.

Cheng Dalei's focus is to learn about the Norton Kingdom from Kane. Cheng Dalei has always wanted to know the complete appearance of the world. Now that a foreigner has finally come, and he can speak the imperial language, how could Cheng Dalei let go.

According to this Kane, starting from Qinchuan Pass, you can enter Norton Kingdom through grasslands, deserts, and mountains. The Norton Kingdom has a huge territory. According to Kane's boast, there are 100,000 kilometers from south to north.

Of course, Cheng Dalei felt that Kane's bragging was very important. Just like the imperial people like to brag that there are 90,000 miles of land, how is that possible in fact.

However, it is a fact that the Norton Kingdom is very large. Now their emperor is Norton IX, and it seems that the reputation is not good.

Under the emperor, there are governors, and there are kings in various places, and the positions are not much different from the city lords of the empire.

With the lag of information in this era, it is impossible to have a complete centralized system. Whether it is the Norton Kingdom or the Empire, it adopts the method of feudal autonomy. In a way, the imperial system was even more advanced.

However, the Norton Kingdom has something that the Empire does not have, and that is: the Holy See.

The myths and legends of the Norton Kingdom are as follows: the world is created by the gods in their sleep, and the souls of the gods turn into gods and govern the world.

The Holy See has great power in the kingdom. They build temples in various places, buy and sell slaves, occupy land, and even the inheritance of the kingdom's throne is determined by the Pope.

As for the pagans in the kingdom, the Holy See even killed them all, and if they caught them, they were hanged, beheaded, and burned at the stake.

Unfortunately, this Kane happened to be a pagan. He lied to Cheng Dalei from the very beginning. Where did he come to do business? He simply came here to escape.

Therefore, there are also chicken thieves in Norton Kingdom.

Cheng Dalei could see that Kane wanted to stay here. In contrast, the empire is more prosperous than his hometown, and it is not unreasonable for the empire to call the four outlands wild.

What's more, Kane is now desperate.

Cheng Dalei also meant to take him in, at least to broaden his horizons, but Kane lied to Cheng Dalei at first, and Cheng Dalei didn't mind putting on airs.

"What does Lord Kane believe in?"

"I am a bard, a wind spirit who believes in freedom."

"Oh, that means nothing."

No wonder they want to escape, the kingdom does not support idlers, nor does Qinchuanguan support idlers.

Cheng Dalei read his information below by the way.

Name: Kane Doyle (Top Bard from Exotic)

Age: 27

Skill: Language Proficiency

Hidden Attribute: Believer of the Wind

Tsk, it's a rare character with hidden attributes, but I don't know what the use of this "Follower of the Wind" is.

Cheng Dalei was so boiled that Kane couldn't stand it, and finally told the truth to Cheng Dalei.

Their group, about fifty or sixty, were all heretics from the kingdom. Now their people are stuck in one place, and they sent Kane out to explore the way.

"Is there anyone else?"

Cheng Dalei thought about whether there will be any talents he wants in this wave of people.
