Even if the earth has not yet frozen, the cold wind in the north has become icy cold, and according to the law of previous years, the first snow will fall in two months at most, and the difficult winter that lasted for nearly seven months , will present the most daunting and dangerous challenges of all life.
Survival of the fittest, scouring the weak and keeping the strong, nothing is more suitable for this ruthless and cold-blooded final examiner than the harsh nature.
In the Northland, the short end of autumn is obviously not a suitable time to travel. I can’t help but be blocked in a dangerous place by the first snow, but unfortunately, I have no right to be picky.
When the spring flowers bloom next year, I am afraid that the army of orcs will go south, and there is no possibility of leaving at that time. Seizing the remaining time to do more things is the key at hand.
"Half-Blood Dominion? It's really an embarrassing past. But, I'm afraid it's the only way out."
The official name of the Half-Blood Dominion is Chauvin Dominion, but not many people call it that name, after all, that land is also an embarrassing historical relic.
After an interracial war, the defeated country often lost a lot of land and citizens, especially the plundered women often become the spoils of the victor, and the long-term rule of the alien race often also represents the embarrassing generation of mixed-race children.
Most of the northern land, including the Lan Kingdom, was once occupied by the orcs who invaded from the south for nearly a hundred years. When the demons attacked, they did not do much good, and also suffered a huge share of the slave trade. Several elf tribes , So, there are quite a lot of half-orcs, half-demons, and half-elves in this land. Of course, the vast majority are still half-orcs.
Of course, these "numerous numbers" are still negligible numbers from the perspective of a country, but when the human kingdoms regained this land, when the enslaved human residents cheered, the new born in these cracks , but it became embarrassing.
The identity of the half-bloods made them do better than ordinary humans when they were ruled by aliens, but in a sense, they were also destined to be targets for accumulating resentment.
When the aliens are driven back to their hometown, it is obviously impossible for these half-orcs to stay in their hometown. The alien characteristics in them will remind others of that tragic history. As long as there is a little friction, a few words from someone with a heart will be provocative. slogan, I am afraid it will stage an uncontrollable racial vendetta.
What's more, many orcs are not good people themselves. In the era when orcs ruled, they were extremely cruel to their human "compatriots" in order to show their position. hands of the bastard.
And when mankind regained this lost land that had been lost for a hundred years, the subsequent grand trial and bloody revenge directly sent most of the mixed blood to the gallows, while the remaining ones who could not find a crime or were too young were sentenced to death. Exile, this is still the past before the re-establishment of the Principality of Donglan, and it is also the era of the founding king of Donglan, Charles I.
And in an era of madness when a little bit of involvement with orcs can be used as a reason for the death penalty, the half-breeds who can be saved from the unjust revenge trial are often only children and women who have no ability to survive, even if It's those orcs who are known to be friendly to humans, and at most are allowed to bring a little more belongings.
At that time, no one dared to speak for those "beast people" in front of the people who were dazzled by the desire for revenge, otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong to die if an orc spy would wear the hat.
In that crazy era, no country was willing to accept these half-bloods, and the border to the Orc Plateau was blocked again (the few who successfully crossed the border did not end well, they became a vent for the losers), the so-called exile, For these weak people, it is actually not much different from the death penalty, but instead of personally executing them, they choose to let them fend for themselves in the cruel nature.
If the Land of Lan is the dark history of the entire human kingdom, I am afraid that these hybrids are the dark history of the entire Northland.
When all the countries refused their entry and drove them away with knights, they had no choice but to migrate to the no-man's land among the mountains, and as the years changed, when everyone began to forget them, thinking they were dead In the midst of heavy snow and beasts, in the depths of the mountains, in that miraculous valley, a new self-governing dominion appeared—the Chauvin dominion.
Today’s Chauvin Dominion is naturally not the pure hybrid dominion of more than two hundred years ago. It is still not recognized by all countries, but it has become a paradise for the borderless and the lawless. Humans, orcs, and elves can all see it, but most Yes, but still a mixed-race aboriginal with peculiar characteristics.
For example, the young warrior outside the carriage had cat ears and sharp claws of a cat-type orc, but dragged a long lizard tail and the lower body of a centaur. He was obviously the product of several mixed bloods.
The ranger in the shadow had beautiful white feathers and seemed to have the blood of a certain bird orc, but the normal arm on the left and the long lizard-scale arm on the right made him look very incongruous.
"This is heaven!"
An increasingly philosophical master of the beastmaster, who saw this piece of paradise and its inhabitants, instantly abandoned the increasingly incomprehensible way of speaking.
At this time, surrounded by many half-bloods, he has long been reluctant to think about it. He has been taking the initiative to talk to each other, and from the situation that is getting more and more linked, at least the half-blooded warrior with the centaur blood may escape. Can not lose the skillful wrist of this old fritters.
When we first arrived at this border checkpoint, these half-beast warriors were not very friendly to us. Some were intimidating, and the sharp arrows of the tree ranger were always aimed at us.
After I showed the businessman's certificate issued by the Principality of Donglan, my attitude was obviously relaxed, and the inspection of our convoy was not as meticulous as the previous convoy, and I chatted and laughed with the soldiers who guarded it. Let a man find an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Donglan and the Chauvin Dominion have a good relationship?"
Heloise, who was lying on my head, was forced to go out just after finishing her evolution, and now she is sluggish and doesn't want to move.
"Donglan has a good relationship with all the forces that are hostile to human society, but has a particularly good relationship with the Chauvin Dominion. There are other reasons."
That is a dark history that has been deciphered by time. When the mixed-race people were lucky enough to find a valley suitable for life in the surrounding mountains, it was the most difficult time when the Nachauvin Autonomous Region was newly built and lacked food and clothing. The uneasy King Ciel once secretly assisted him.
"I originally planned to help the innocents and the descendants of the people of Lan, but it was too miserable, so I helped more. Well, the most important thing is that if you only give the descendants of the people of Lan food and Clothes will be snatched away when he turns his head, which is equivalent to killing his life, so in the end, we can only help. Fortunately, we were still very rich in those years. "
When a passage in the diary of the late king was unearthed, the 30-year-long aid that was exposed has also become the root cause of today, two hundred years later, the Dominion of Chauvin still regards the Duchy of Donglan as the only brotherly country.
Over the years, the two places, which were vaguely excluded by the entire Northland, have naturally become closer and closer, and the close exchanges have strengthened the relationship between the two sides. Even foreign businessmen who want to enter Chauvin will find a way to get a Donglan businessman to prove, And many people with real power in the Chauvin Dominion admit that they are descendants of the people of Lan.
It is worth mentioning that the warm valley between the mountains is also a rare granary in the north, and when the feng shui turns, the residents of this land start to rescue the descendants of the fallen king Shire. The dominion's interest-free "borrowing food", I am afraid that Donglan's collapse is many years ahead of schedule.
As for my convoy this time, there were also a batch of medicines and other supplies that were in short supply in the North. It was definitely a good product that the North could not buy with money. It was also the overpayment of the Principality of Donglan for the food arrears accumulated over the years.
Is it not a kindness to allow arrears? It is a great kindness to allow a company that may go bankrupt at any time to owe its debts and be prepared to lose all its money at any time.
Since the Chauvin Dominion has not forgotten the kindness of Ciel that year, Donglan will naturally remember to send this kindness and report it as it should.
The good relationship between the two places is also the reason why I choose to make it the first stop of my visit. In other hostile countries, I am afraid that I can't do anything at this time.
But an accident gave me a new purpose for this trip.
"Sister Amela, how do you think this land is suitable for your plants to grow? Can you grow the new seedlings I want here?"
"That's so fast! I still need time to test and test, by the way, don't forget what you promised!"
"Won't forget."
Well, thinking of the alliance-like agreement under the city, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is from the chance encounter half a month ago.
…
"My seven original sins are unparalleled in the world! Much stronger than your weeds!"
"Miscellaneous... weeds? Haha, how dare you say that!"
The archmage who lowered his head laughed wildly, countless shadows spread behind her, and there was a little sense of crisis and the sweet and sour taste of venom in the wind, and the blood-colored human-devouring monster was about to move in the shadows.
"Woooooo!"
It seems to feel the wrath of the creator, some creature seems to be crying in a low voice, the huge vine limbs in the shadow are growing wildly, and the green leaves above it actually start to have sharp serrated mouths.
The saliva of the piranha was clearly dripping in front of me, and the giant vine with poisonous thorns was about to entangle me, but I was still unmoved, as if I hadn't seen it.
I know that although she is definitely the one who kills the most and has the least conscience among the people I know, as long as she does it now, she will admit defeat.
Colleagues are enemies, and the meeting of scholars, especially those with overlapping research fields and serious differences of opinion, often begins with mutual sarcasm, develops with yelling, and ends with mutual slaps.
However, if the scholar finally won the victory in the form of murder, instead he admitted that he could not defeat his opponent in the academic field, and could only use this method to eliminate his opponent, I am afraid that he would be completely defeated at the root.
Sure enough, the Archmage Amyra, who was posing to kill me as soon as they met, finally restrained her anger in my sarcasm, withdrew those dangerous man-eating plants, and returned to Wendou.
"Hmph, the seven original sins? You haven't got it all together, right? Gluttony, anger, and the arrogance that just got unsealed, it's only three."
"I've only made greed and jealousy recently, and I'm just two away from it, and you? Are your seven virtues complete again? Are there only 'temperance' and 'diligence' more than a hundred years ago?"
"...I, I also made 'modesty', just to deal with your arrogance!"
"Huh? Interesting? It's useless to say, take it out and take a look."
Hearing this, Amyra fell into silence, and from what I know of her, she disdains lying, and she can't come up with it now, and there are probably other reasons.
"If it wasn't for that damn Adam beating up my darling..."
Well, hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, then I couldn't help wiping my cold sweat, thankful that I had escaped the catastrophe, but then I was a little annoyed.
If the other party's new toy is in good condition, most of them will directly show it to me. According to my current ability, I may be killed in seconds, but I don't appreciate Adam's intention, because I have already heard the subtext.
"Okay, good you Adam Han, who am I to leak my news, so that this house girl who stays at home and doesn't know what's going on outside the window will choose to go out, and I think I understand you these days. The weird expression is gone, are you deliberately not reminding me, waiting for my unlucky to see the joke?"
But at this time, it's not the time to think about other things. Taking advantage of the weakness of the other party, I took out the killer.
"Remember Mr. Herois? Now, she's my greedy! Hey, dead cat, wake up! Waiting for your help!"
Ever since she ate the "Death Breath of the Black God", Herois had been so drowsy and seemed to be preparing to evolve again, but at this time, it was time for her to come out for emergency help.
"Mr. Heloise? Isn't she a banshee?"
After I took out the dead cat, I didn't need to say more. The slime monster in the shape of a cat star is more convincing than anything else.
So, while Amyra was concentrating on her sleeping dead cat, I finally had time to ask what happened and how this guy came to you.
"Let me explain, not long after we put out the sign that day, the lady said she was your old acquaintance and planned to give you a surprise and asked us to report to you. But the elder brother said that he could feel that she was our kind, But she is also your enemy, so she has been dragging her along. That lady always shut herself in the room and did not go out, as if she was researching something, and over time she seemed to forget to ask questions until you came to the door."
When I heard this, I didn't know what to say. Maybe they were really kind, but they can only live now, and they can only say that their fate is great.
"Do you dare to stay in the headquarters of the perverted murderer in the kingdom of mages that spanned a century? She even dared to commit the crime in the Tower of Clouds for the sake of experimentation and inspiration. You... Wait, big brother? Who are you?"
This is a tall and sturdy man. Under the tight leather coat are strong muscles that resemble statues. Wearing black-out glasses, his expressionless and calm explanation gives people an unusually reliable sense of presence.
"Pierre Papin, we really love the new and second child of our righteous brother and sister, we call him Runa Papa-san!"
Well, taking back that "reliable" evaluation, just the new members of the true love brothers and sisters, is still the best comment.
"Then... do you have a daughter?"
"Well, I love my daughter Runa deeply, more than myself, more than everything in the world. That's why everyone allowed me to join the group."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is nothing more than a transitional daughter control, which is acceptable.
"Runa is a ship, or a battleship."
Well, Momo's words made me understand instantly. Sure enough, a gentleman will add value if you leave it alone! It turned out that this is the ship's mother control.
"Well, I've heard that sailors living overseas treat their ships as women. I can understand it, I can really understand it."
Although he said so, he silently took two steps back and stayed away from these increasingly outrageous gentlemen.
"Hehe, second brother Papan, I said that you are worrying too much. How can His Royal Highness not understand you? He is the king of gentlemen. You are only 0.4 sad winds, and he is 10 sad winds in Sulphur Mountain City!"
But Momo's explanation was superfluous. At this time, Runa had fallen into an inexplicable frenzy.
"It's not such a superficial fetish! Don't compare those vulgar things with Runa, Runa is the cutest girl in the world, do other ships have such towering turrets? Have such smooth and beautiful decks? Have such curvaceous and soft The side of the boat? There is…”
Looking at this alternative "daughter control" who has entered a frenzy on his own, I can't help but sigh, and sure enough, there can be no normal people in the Gentlemen's League! How can a true love brother and sister fall in love with a normal existence!
Well, no matter which new gentleman is still singing "Ah, that warm engine room, oh, that charismatic main pole", I turn my eyes to that, and Amela is already squatting on the ground with a frustrated face , just murmured repeatedly.
"Half-life and half-dead undead? How is that possible? This should involve the height of the Creator. He has made progress again? Am I still regressing?"
Seeing her like this really makes me feel good, but if she drags it out for a while, if she really gives up her last dignity, she might run wild and ask for technical information, and now it is absolutely impossible to beat her, so, I came up with my own bait.
"Sister Amela, as long as you help me with two things, I will let you go to the next level!"
