"Huh?" Xiang En frowned and said solemnly, "Please elaborate!"
Naturally, Dunier would not refuse, and told Xiang En in detail how he escaped here.
There are as many monsters on the plains as there are in the forest, wild cattle and horses, and all kinds of random sheep. There are also many beasts and predators.
The plains are not all grassland. To the east of Fiore Province, there is a larger undeveloped area where many barbarian races live.
For example, Xiang En encountered werewolves and some large monsters not long after he entered Fiore Province.
When Dunel was fleeing, it happened to be the beginning of winter, and he saw zombie beasts hunting large kodo beasts. The running zombie beasts chased the buffalo herds and sheep migrating north.
When they first started escaping, Dunel's adventure group consisted of thirty people. Later, they encountered many refugees who fled like headless flies and joined the group, and the number continued to increase to nearly a hundred.
But what about the end
There are only nineteen people left in the Alva family’s territory!
After experiencing many life-and-death crises, Duniel was really afraid. To the north was the other side of the mountain range, which was completely impassable. Sooner or later, those zombie beasts that had been driven away would come back like waves crashing on the rocks!
At that time, this noble manor on the border on the other side of the mountain will definitely be impacted!
He has thought of everything, and all he lacks is a mage who can arrange constant temperature magic to set off. But before Levi's arrival, the only mage here was Hausnauer's subordinate, Jin.
King only obeyed Hausnauer's orders, Hausnauer objected to entering the mountains, and then the two sides became deadlocked.
After listening to Dunier's narration, Xiang En was also a little moved, but he wanted to hear what Hausnor would say first.
If you want absolute safety, it's okay to enter the mountains, but Xiang En feels that Hausnauer doesn't look like a brainless person. He should have his own ideas.
Seeing Xiang En looking at him, Hausnuoer nodded slightly and said: "Although what Dunier said has some truth, surviving in the mountains is not an easy task..."
"My noble grandpa can't bear hardships. If you like living in a big house, just say so!" Hearing this, Dunel sneered and interrupted Hausnoor.
The men who followed Dunel also used insulting words towards Hausnauer, and their hostility was already very obvious.
On the other hand, Hausnauer and others' attitude remained indifferent. Although the ten people had unpleasant looks on their faces, they did not retaliate.
Xiang En looked back and forth between the two sides, and he could guess why Dunier and others were hostile to Housnor. It was probably because the mages and nobles hid in the city, leaving adventurers like them to fend for themselves outside. Resulting in mental imbalance.
Hausnauer and others showed a pretentious aristocratic attitude, which made Dunier and others pass the conflict onto Hausnauer and others.
Even he and Andrea had such emotions, so it was not unusual.
Dunier and the others didn't go too far. After everyone said a few words, they became quiet. During this process, Hausnauer and the others remained silent, completely ignoring the strange aura on the other side.
"What I said is not wrong." After calming down, Housnoir looked at Xiang En again and continued seriously: "The middle of the Atlas Mountains is the territory of the Frost Trolls. Although they are not large in number, their fighting power is Powerful! And we don’t know anything about them. Entering the mountains is just a risk of death.”
Frost trolls... are a race that is hostile to humans.
What Hausnauer said makes sense!
Xiang En couldn't help but nod.
After seeing him nod, Dunier looked anxious and said: "Aren't they just some trolls? If you stay here, you will die sooner or later. You may not encounter trolls in the Atlas Mountains! Even if you encounter them, As long as it hurts them, they will run away, but those monsters will not! Master Xiangen, please join us!"
"Yes, we are all witnesses. If we continue to stay here, those monsters will come back sooner or later!"
"I just went to live in the mountains, there is no danger now!"
"At least you can sleep peacefully in the mountains!"
A group of sallow-looking people look at you and ask you to take them into the mountains. You would probably think that they are farmers who have revolted somewhere.
After thinking about the feasibility, Xiang En found that living in the mountains was indeed a good choice, but he was not ready to agree.
This is Andrea's home, and naturally it is also his home. Only when you live in your own home can you feel at ease.
Safety is not a problem for him at all. He only needs to place the super-large taboo vine totems throughout the manor, and safety will be basically worry-free. He will never be short of staple food, and the food creation technique guarantees his quality of life.
The water source is even simpler. Not only does the manor have a well, there is also a medium-sized lake behind the building. As long as the water is purified with the "Innocent Spring", you can drink it with confidence.
Both Dunel and Hausnauer are desperately thinking about survival, but Xiang En can only think about how to add dishes other than bread.
The needs are different, which also leads to Xiang En's thinking direction being different from that of the two parties. All he wants now is to understand the situation of the manor and find opportunities to control these people or drive them out.
"Captain Dunier, what you said makes sense... We are already very tired from walking all the way from outside. Let me think about it first!"
It was not easy to speak too directly at the moment, so Xiang En chose to postpone the answer and ended today's exchange on the grounds of physical exhaustion.
It's noon now, and after talking for so long, it's almost time to take a break.
After Xiang Endu said this, Dunier was too embarrassed to force him, so he simply asked his men to take Xiang En and the four of them to a room to rest.
Everyone filed out, decided on a time for dinner in the evening, and reunited in the hall, then they greeted each other and dispersed.
When Xiang En left, he nodded to Naka, who remained silent the whole time and leaned against the door.
Because here, the most normal and emotionally stable people are the only four Nakas left.
Naka, who had been observing Xiang En, twitched the corner of her mouth again, and she could see that Xiang En was normal.
Compared to Dunier, who has more extreme ideas, and Hausnauer, who is always unwilling to speak openly, Xiang En is undoubtedly very normal!
After experiencing being attacked by a dead man rising from the grave, there are not many people who are mentally healthy and do not have extreme thoughts.
Xiang En and the four of them do not have any extreme characteristics, and their behavior when speaking is considered normal. They remain calm in the face of tense situations, which is simply abnormal!
But Naka may not have thought that if Xiang En and the four of them did not have a stable food supply, they would be in a tense state of food shortage all the time, and they would probably become nervous due to the pressure of survival.
This unimportant misunderstanding gave her a subtle sense of identification with Xiang En.
…
"How many rooms does Master Xiang En need? This noble manor is larger than some of the great nobles' manors, and there is plenty of room for living!"
The person who took Xiang En and the four people to choose a room was the gatekeeper Bourne. At this time, he was leading the way, walking on the second floor of the manor, passing by vacant rooms, and talking to them proudly.
Creaking…
The sound of teeth rubbing startled Xiang En. He looked at Andrea with some worry, fearing that she would break his teeth.
Now Andrea was in an extremely angry mood, especially when these people spoke to her in a masterly manner, her blood pressure instantly increased.
Realizing that Andrea was about to lose control, Xiang En chose a room at random and sent Bourne away in a hurry.
Markey and Duncan, who remained silent, also chose their own rooms and stayed as far away from Boss Xiang En as possible to avoid hearing bad voices and being silenced.
…
After closing the door to the room, Andrea finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself on Xiang En, sobbing and crying!
