Transcendent Noble

The Jinshui River flows slowly from west to east, and has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

No one knows where the source of Jinshui River is, but no one will deny that Jinshui River is the largest river in the human world. It emerges from the endless forest, rushes eastward, traverses tens of thousands of kilometers, and finally merges into the vast ocean.

Jinshui River divided continent into two. The north is a civilized land where humans thrive, and the south is a barren wilderness where the Barbarian Race dances with the orcs. The river, which is several kilometers wide, has become a natural barrier for humans to resist the Barbarian Race and the orcs.

Victor stood on a high slope, overlooking the Jinshui River, which was eight kilometers wide below, and couldn't help being overwhelmed by its majestic imposing manner.

"It's magnificent! It's a pity that there is no sun today, otherwise you will know why it is called Jinshuihe." Edwin saw Victor's dazzling appearance and couldn't help saying with a smile.

"Yes. This is the first time I have seen this big river. I heard that in the morning and evening, under the sun's rays, the river surface is shining with golden light and magnificent." Victor exclaimed.

"Well, in the future you will have the opportunity to watch the scenery of the Jinshui River." Edwin nodded said.

Victor's territory is adjacent to the Jinshui River. He can build a holiday manor here, and come to look at the scenery here from time to time.

"Master, in this weather, it's going to snow soon. Would you like to visit the Great Swamp at another time?" Victor tightened his cloak as a new wind blew.

"It is because of snow that is the best time to enter Great Swamp." Edwin shook the head, said to Victor.

Snow roads are difficult, but it will freeze the ground of Great Swamp hard, and the most important thing is that most of the monsters in Great Swamp on snowy days hide in caves, putting them at risk A lot smaller.

"However, the small heater and sled car you designed by Victor is very practical and saves us a lot of trouble. On the way, your whims and ideas keep going. I really don’t know that you are young. How can you understand so many interesting things?" Edwin laughed at Victor, his smile seemed to have something special.

"I'm just getting used to it. The first time I walked this long way, I always wanted to make myself more comfortable, so I thought about bauble." Victor was disinclined in the face of the old scholar's temptation. Said.

The marching stove designed by Victor is a reduced and simplified version of the previous briquette stove on Earth. Putting charcoal in the tent will make the tent warm like spring, and you can also cook some hot soup on it. It is very suitable for Great Swamp who lacks dry firewood.

The sled car was designed because the carriage cannot pass through the Great Swamp, and the supply needs to be carried on the body, so Victor made two carpenters in the camp that can replace the rockers and wheels. Trolley.

Of course, the car must be pulled by people. Anyway, the elite soldiers under Bruce have strength. Pulling the two cars is absolutely nothing difficult.

Only knowing that Edwin is about to go to Great Swamp and Nicole will be with him, Victor thoughtfully designed a marching stove and a small sled car for them.

Actually, he mainly loves his sister.

"That is... Murloc?!" Victor's sharp gaze caught the river bank thousands of meters away, and suddenly climbed up several monsters with fish heads, wandering around there.

Edwin craned his neck, his eyes narrowed and squinted, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see a few small black spots running around on the bank of the river.

"It should be a murloc who likes to wander around on the banks of the Jinshui River. Only these disgusting fools." Edwin shook the head, he only envied Victor's perverted vision.

The murlocs are a kind of aquatic orcs. They are short in stature, like a mixture of fish and frogs. The natural scales on their bodies are tight and slippery. They have good defensive ability. Their wide mouths are also covered with terrifying sharp teeth, but in fact, murlocs are omnivorous orcs, and they occasionally eat the silt in the river to replenish the salt they need.

Murlocs live mainly on river banks and coasts. They have a strong concept of territory. They are hostile to terrestrial creatures that invade their territories, and will spare no effort to siege terrestrial creatures. However, when they find When they are not opponents of the invaders, they will escape back into the water, and when more companions are assembled, the murlocs will continue to attack the creatures that invade their territory until the invaders are killed or driven away.

The murlocs are very stupid. Although they are afraid of death, they can’t remember the feelings of fear and pain. This characteristic makes their behavior very stubborn, so some Baita scholar thinks Murlocs cannot be regarded as intelligent species at all, even if they can use simple tools, they also have a certain social nature.

"It’s not surprising that there are murlocs in your territory. The banks of the Jinshui River are full of these nasty little monsters. As long as your people are not close to the banks of the Jinshui River, nothing will happen. In fact, they are the lord of the Jinshui River." Edwin patted Victor said helplessly on the shoulder.

It is precisely because there is a mindless and stubborn race of murlocs in the Jinshui River that humans cannot carry out fishing and shipping in the Jinshui River.

Although there is nothing to do with the murlocs in the Jinshui River and the sea, humans will ruthlessly kill the murlocs in other places, otherwise other waters will be taken over by these guys, because these guys are so capable. NS!

Therefore, people have always thought: the dead murloc is a good murloc!

"Master Edwin, Victor, everyone is ready, can we go now?" A crisp voice came from behind Victor.

As soon as Victor turned his head, he saw Nicole Knight standing there with a cheerful smile, and his heart suddenly became hot. He stepped forward and took Dame's slender hand and said, "Okay, let's go." As for Edwin, it was already. Be left behind by him.

Nicole pretty face blushed, but did not take out the jade hand held by Victor, but left with Victor generously. As for Edwin, she had already been left behind.

Edwin stared at the two people, me and me dumbfoundedly, as if there was no one else, and talked openly, but in the end it turned into a bitter smile with his head shaken, with relief and regret in his eyes.

Although Nicole was successfully promoted to Knight, the outcome of her and Victor is still unpredictable. As Knight of the York family, she must return to the Black Fort after this mission is over. Although Victor is a lord, he has long had a legal wife, and his wife is powerful and distinguished.

So, this may be the last time the two get together, which makes Victor and Nicole less reserved and more enthusiastic than before.

People in love always want time to be slower, slower, and slower, but time never stops like the water of the Jinshui River.

After two days of trekking, Victor and his entire group finally arrived at an entrance of Great Swamp.

Great Swamp is where few humans set foot in the mysterious area, and humans know very little about it. The most recent recorded exploration was 1500 years ago when Legendary Paladin Fahild of Radiance Church led dozens of elite court warriors into the Great Swamp in order to track down the remnants of Pantheon. In the end, Fahild only came out of Great Swamp with a team of less than ten people.

Although Radiance Church is very secretive about Fahild’s experience, rumors about the existence of the lizardmen in the Great Swamp and the possible Ultra Grade devil beast Nine-Headed Hydra are still circulating in the human world. .

So Great Swamp is also known as the lizard swamp.

"Bruce, do you really don't need me to arrange some people to enter the lizard swamp with you?" Victor asked Knight, who was checking the equipment.

"Really no need. Master Edwin will only explore the periphery of the swamp and collect some specimens, so the time will not be very long. Moreover, after we enter the lizard swamp, your power is somewhat thin, so this For a while, Victor, you have to be more careful." Bruce politely declined Victor's kindness.

Bruce's words flashed a haze in Victor's eyes.

Since killing Golash, Victor has let the bodyguards take the old Ogre’s first-level tour of the free private camps in the territory.

At the beginning, the effect was very good. When the leaders of the freedmen saw Ogre's head being picked high on Lance by the lord’s guard, they began to become awe-inspiring and no longer dared to stop blatantly. The freedmen under him turned to Victor, and even Bayer was much more honest. Old Dick even took the opportunity to win over a group of supporters.

In these days, more than 30 freedmen have joined the Victor camp. Victor is very happy about this, because with the cover of freemen, he will soon be able to make alchemy auxiliary soldiers and alchemy militias.

However, something unexpected happened.

When Nelson's hammer led the team to perform the inspection mission, he was shot through the thigh by an arrow outside the free private camp in the eastern part of the territory.

This camp is another large free private camp besides Pinghu Village. There are about 200 people in it. According to the freedmen who took refuge in, this group never communicated with other freemen, and they would ruthlessly kill any freemen who approached their camp.

The members of those small free private camps even thought that they were a group of murderous bandits, but they had never heard of it. They attacked other camps. They seemed to only care about their own territory. Therefore, the rumors of banditry gradually subsided in the territory, but all the freedmen were told not to approach the camp in the east!

But these people actually ignored the identity of the lord's guard and the ogre head that was picked on lance. After more than 70 meters, an arrow shot through the thigh of the hammer.

Afterwards, Victor and Nelson checked the long arrow, which was entirely an arrow cut from a hemlock. Therefore, using such an arrow to shoot a hammer, the warning sign is very obvious.

This arrogant warning made Victor and Nelson very angry. After the anger, the two felt deeply confused about the incident.

The body of this arrow is very long. Impossible was shot with a weapon such as a crossbow. It should be a longbow. However, this arrow and even the arrowhead are made of wood, and the weight is relatively light. It is difficult for ordinary people to shoot 70 meters with it and maintain amazing accuracy. It can be seen that the person who shot the hammer is definitely a strong guy.

This free private camp never communicates with other camps. How do they supplement supplies?

Why did they kill strangers near their camp?

How does a camp that does not communicate with the outside world know the identity of Lord Hammer's guard? Otherwise, why don't they shoot the hammer directly?

Why would they ignore the majesty and goodwill of the lord and shoot the hammer?

In short, all the problems show that this so-called free private camp is full of mysteries and strangeness.

After discussing with Nelson, Victor and Nelson decided to stay on hold for the time being without clarification. Because the day for Edwin to inspect the Great Swamp is approaching, and Bruce has made it clear that he will no longer intervene in the issue of the freedmen of Victor territory.

Victor has no complaints about this. It is a decision he made as a lord to absorb free people, and he must bear the consequences of such a decision.

For this reason, he quietly produced 5 Golden Crow crows to monitor and spy on the camp throughout the day. Victor believes that after returning to the camp this time, these arrogant freemen will no longer have secrets. At all.

With Alchemy Tower in hand, even without Bruce's help, Victor is confident to handle this problem.

"Bruce, you are right, but I will arrange some people to build a temporary camp here to provide you with logistical support. I hope you can leave a trainee Knight and my people to stay together. Here." Victor dispelled all the thoughts in his mind and suggested to Bruce.

Bruce accepted Victor's suggestion.

Looking at Edwin, Bruce and Nicole entire group firmly stepping into the deep and unfathomable Great Swamp, Kuroba hovered over Victor's head, and flew towards the team with a "croak", it would help Edwin explores this strange world.

Victor stretched out his slender palm, and a snowflake quietly fell on his palm.

It's snowing.

Feeling the coolness brought by the melting of snowflakes, Victor suppressed the unwillingness and melancholy in his heart, and asked Nelson: "Nelson, do you know why Master Edwin still enters Great at such an old age? Is Swamp taking risks?"

Nelson scratched his head, he was also puzzled.

Edwin has a distinguished status and does not need to run for life at all. Now he enters the dangerous Great Swamp to explore in the wind and snow. What is it?

"Because we move forward, we will not perish." Victor said lightly, as if to himself.

The humans of the last world, after millions of years, climbed to the top of Earth in a weak body. During this period, countless powerful species scattered ashes and dispersed smoke, and the reason why humans can step on these powerful opponents is because humans have been moving forward and never stopped.

The humans in this world still have many unknown areas and many powerful opponents, but the humans here also have pioneers like Edwin and pioneers like Victor.

Victor turned on his horse and said to the confused Nelson: "Go, let's go home!"

Like Edwin, he has a lot to go.
