Chapter 18 Entering the Mountains

Roman changed into a hunting outfit that made it easier to move around, and his thick long hair that hung over his shoulders was tied up with a forehead wiper. His whole person had a feeling of freedom and wildness like a lion, and his face became more angular.

Roman did not make Green and Aaron fully armored. Instead, he asked them to put on clothes that could move freely in the mountains, put on weapons, and asked Aaron to carry an iron shield on his back.

Wait until the sun rises.

Moore was waiting for Roman's fussing - or agricultural guidance - in Sig Town today.

As a result, he saw Roman coming on horseback, carrying a big bow and dressed neatly.

He heard Roman say: "Call the guards from Sige Town. I want to take people into the mountain."

"Ah?" Moll looked at Roman blankly, his mind full of confusion, "No... Master, why didn't you tell me in advance."

Roman frowned, "What did I tell you to do?"

Yeah, tell me what to do?

Can I still stop him?

This is really an ancestor who suffered from the plague!

Moore was very anxious and had to remind; "Those people are very dangerous!"

Roman narrowed his eyes: "Oh? So I want to let them do whatever they want on my territory?"

Moore was about to cry but had no tears. At this moment, he really liked this overbearing lord who had his own way of doing things.

Roman clearly saw the struggling expression flashing on Moll's face. Before that, no matter how bizarre and ridiculous things he did, Moll would only accept it silently, as if it was nothing more than a broken jar, as if he only wanted to avoid being demoted. Just go to the pig pen.

Only in this matter did Moore show considerable rejection.

So Roman took Maul with him.

When he announced this, More was petrified, his eyes were ashen, as if he had accepted his fate.

There were 30 guards in Sige Town. Roman only called away 20 guards and brought enough supplies to reserve 10 guards for Sige Town.

Today's production task is to replicate what was done yesterday, and the supervisors in Sige Town are qualified supervisors.

Roman first asked them whether they had relevant experience and how familiar they were with the conditions in the mountains.

The probability of something happening to him and Green Aaron is very low, but that doesn't mean the guards also have extraordinary physiques. The probability of injury and death is high.

According to the results of the inquiry, as long as they are careful, nothing will happen.

Long before Roman came here, residents here would also go into the mountains or forests to collect wood.

This is also Roman's greatest means of aristocratic oppression of all residents of Sige Town - although Roman is just looking for a reason.

After training the farmer's instinct of obedience to him, Roman will open up the cutting rights for a period of time.

He really doesn't think these people can cause any waste to natural resources.

Farmers have no axes or hatchets, only simple wooden tools, and can only rely on their hands to fight against nature.

This efficiency is naturally extremely low.

The traces that were mined this year were covered by nature's metabolism the next year.

When Roman finds a suitable iron ore and smelts the metal to make sharp axes and machetes, he will personally tell them what efficiency is.

Breaking wood with a rock?

NO!

Here, use this (pass the ax and saw).jpg

But before that, Roman still needs to conduct basic surveys here to find veins suitable for mining.

…

Most of Roman's territory is unexplored, otherwise known as the Wilderness.

Although the total planting area of ​​Sige Town is probably tens of thousands of acres of land.

But this is still a very small part of the entire basin.

This is a very common thing in this era.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, the nature is dangerous, and wild beasts roam wild. It is a very difficult thing to open up the wilderness.

The Conqueror Emperor more than a hundred years ago, in his capacity as the Uncrowned King, issued a law.

Any pioneer becomes the owner of the pioneer land and is granted the status and title of pioneer lord.

This vigorous pioneering movement that lasted for nearly twenty years, a movement that was a shining point for the entire human civilization, ended when the conqueror became seriously ill in the Hades Sea, and his huge fleet was also hit by a storm.

So the people died and the government ceased.

Without the powerful suppression of the conquerors, the nobles and other kingdoms began to jump up and down, and in a very short period of time, they incorporated into their own territory the hard work of the common people in the past twenty years.

Those who voluntarily pioneered were often people with nothing. They lacked the knowledge and force to resist.

It wasn't until the three archdukes led the remaining troops back from the Sea of ​​Hell that the chaos of dividing the cake finally settled down.

But the impact of this incident was extremely far-reaching.

For example, countries no longer carry out proactive land reclamation activities, but rely on the speed of natural population reproduction to slowly expand human activity space.

Moreover, the cultivated land is enough for everyone to fight each other on this land and consume the population, so there is no need to continue to expand outwards.

Sige Town is experiencing this kind of passive development. It has slowly grown from a population of a few hundred to its current size, with tens of thousands of acres of wasteland reclaimed.

Roman didn't bother to comment on this matter.

He focused part of his attention on the interface of [Life Story].

[Life Story] will treat his territory as the "Origin Farm".

But the map is vast, and it depends on his own actions to slowly light up all the maps.

During this lighting process, various geographical information such as logging areas, quarrying areas, mining areas, hunting areas, swamps, rivers, wastelands, etc. will be marked.

In short, as long as Roman passes by, he will know where there are mines, which is similar to a vision map of all resources.

However, this vision is only for specific resources, not real-time satellite monitoring.

Moreover, Roman has tried it.

[Story of Life] cannot affect the real world!

Even because the arable land in Sige Town is not cultivated by Roman, [Story of Life] does not regard those thousands of acres of land as "farmland" - only the land reclaimed by Roman will be regarded as "farmland".

Of course, this function of surveying resources still saves Roman a lot of effort. As long as there is a mineral vein nearby, its specific location can be marked, eliminating the time of surveying.

...

Moor said earnestly: "Master Roman, there are only desperate criminals in the mountains. You don't need to take risks yourself. Your safety is the most important."

Roman said: "If there is someone in the mountains who can kill all the guards and two knights, then let him kill me."

He answered easily and calmly, but it did not prevent Mor from sweating profusely.

The mountain road is difficult to walk. He weighs nearly 200 kilograms and is quite unable to bear this kind of aerobic exercise.

Roman said: "Okay, you can talk about the people in the mountains."

Moor clearly knows something.

Moor wiped his sweat and had to cooperate and said: "I don't know much. Some of them have lived here for a long time. They lived here before my father died of illness and when I was not an agricultural official."

Ferocious monsters, dangerous environment.

And some extremely dangerous thieves and wanted criminals.

This is also the reason why Mor refused to come to the depths of the mountains, because if he is not careful, he will really lose his life.
