Chapter 27 27 Entering the Mountain

Chapter 27 Entering the Mountain

Coming out of Hushang Town and walking northeast along the main road, you will pass two territories.

One is Muma City, which is ruled by the Iron Hoof Viscount family.

Muma City is famous for raising horses. Whether ordinary horses or war horses in Wushan Territory, at least half of them come from Muma City.

As an ancient family that existed before the Orlant Empire was divided, the Iron Hoof family has a very high status in the Osan Territory.

Luo Ning was planning to go to Muma City to buy supplies earlier, but there is no need for it now.

The second territory they passed through was Marsh Town, which was ruled by Baron Rayson of the Thane family.

The predecessor didn't know much about this family, except that the current baron of the Thain family seemed to be a high-level peak knight.

As the closest aristocratic territory to Hillwood Town, Thain Territory can be regarded as Luo Ning's neighbor, and he was planning to take the time to visit.

After passing the Sein Territory and heading north, you can see the rolling hills.

The mountains are not high, only one or two hundred meters at most, and the slope is not large. It is just that there are many mountains and they are undulating in large areas. This is why Shanlin Town has inconvenient transportation and remoteness.

Luo Ning took out the map, which only recorded the location of Shanlin Town scrawled on it. It was obviously impossible to use this accurate navigation.

Fortunately, there was a path that people had walked in the forest, which guided them in the direction.

"It's noon, everyone, let's rest here first."

Luo Ning asked Chahar to tell everyone to take a rest, while he stood on the forest path.

"Sir, the road into the mountain seems not to be easy," McCann reminded.

"That's inevitable."

Luo Ning sighed, came to the roadside and squatted down, "But there are wheel marks here, and obviously there are carriages coming out of Shanlin Town. Since they can come out, we can go in."

There is no lord in Shanlin Town, but there are wheel marks on the road. This shows that in addition to people coming to Wushan Fort to collect taxes every year, the people inside also communicate with the outside world.

This is normal.

Shanlin Town does not have all the necessities needed for human survival, and some things still need to be bought.

"When we get to Shanlin Town, if everything goes well, I will form a hunting team to see if I can hunt the monsters."

"If we can get the magic beast skin, then Elrond and I will learn how to make spell scrolls."

Now he still has three bottles of "ink" left by Pedro to make spell scrolls. If it weren't for the Warcraft skins, he and Elrond would have started learning to make spell scrolls long ago.

Forming a hunting team was Luo Ning's decision after careful consideration.

After all, if you rely on mountains and rivers to eat, if you are close to the Warcraft Mountains, you have to eat World of Warcraft.

The materials on the monsters can be sold for money, and the spell scrolls are a derived industry.

Of course, this is assuming things are going smoothly, and we have to wait until everything stabilizes.

"Elron is willing to serve you, my lord!" The magician responded respectfully to Ronin's proposal.

In the past two days, Elrond has been the most leisurely.

Unlike McCann, he can guide McCann in sword practice and fighting. At the same time, he doesn't need to train like a guard. When he has nothing to do, he can only refine mana, which is the most leisurely and boring.

Elrond, who had nothing to do, could only read the books on the carriage and gain some knowledge.

"You don't have to worry about having nothing to do. When we get to the territory, everyone will probably have no time to spare."

Luo Ning had the attitude of wanting to start a big fight. After all, it was his own territory. The mountains, water, and people all belonged to him. If he didn't manage it properly, it would be a waste.

After a simple lunch, Luo Ning took the team on the road again.

The mountain road was full of potholes and ravines washed out by water in some places, making it very difficult for a carriage to move along.

For the sake of comfort, Luo Ning did not continue to sit in the carriage, but chose to ride a horse.

“If you want to get rich, build roads first!”

This is a wise saying, but when he looked at these undulating hills, although they were not high, they knew that building roads was a very huge project.

"If you want to build a flat road from Shanlin Town, it will be difficult to do it in a short time."

Luo Ning sighed, and could only proceed step by step, first ensuring that the carriage could pass smoothly.

"Elrond, do you think there is any magic or fighting skills that can open mountains?"

"there must be!"

Elrond was very sure, "Magicians use the elements of heaven and earth to cast spells, and the elements of heaven and earth are vast. As long as the magician is strong enough and mobilizes enough, I am sure that the power will be enough to open mountains!"

"You have a point."

Luo Ning turned to ask McCann, "You are an earth attribute. Do you think you have fighting skills that can open mountains?"

Fighting skills use the knight's own fighting spirit. In terms of power, they are generally weaker than spells, but McCann also gave a positive answer.

"It's definitely possible, but it should be a little more difficult than magic."

Luo Ning nodded, "From now on, the road from Shanlin Town to the outside world will be built by you."

McCann: "Uh... If adults need it, I will try my best!"

"Ha~"

As the team entered the mountain forest, the weather became less hot, especially when the mountain breeze blew, the cool feeling during the rest was very pleasant.

It's just that in the second half of the night, it gets a bit cold, and if there isn't enough campfire, I'll probably catch a cold.

Fortunately, you can lack everything here, except wood.

The road was difficult to walk. Luo Ning and others walked for more than a day before they finally climbed over a small hill and saw the town ahead in the distance.

Luo Ning glanced at the huge stone on the side of the road ahead. The name of the town ahead was clearly written in red characters on it - Shanlin Town!

"We're finally here!" he said happily.

From setting off on the 4th to noon on the 13th today, they walked for ten days and were finally almost reaching their destination.

The guards also started cheering when they heard Luo Ning's voice.

Many of them doubted whether they could reach Shanlin Town safely at the beginning. Now Shanlin Town is right in front of them, and they did it!

This is a challenge and achievement for them who have basically never left Wushan City since they were born. It will also be something they talk about for their descendants in the future.

"Chahar, rest here at noon!"

Luo Ning smiled and ordered: "Let everyone have a full meal at noon and have a good rest. We will enter the town in the afternoon!"

"Okay, sir." Chahar quickly made arrangements.

Luo Ning turned over and dismounted. David took the reins and stood aside. Since this kid became a junior knight, Luo Ning also placed him beside him.

"The terrain of Shanlin Town is not bad. It's not a mountain town like I imagined."

Luo Ning stood in the middle of the road, looking up at the town in the distance.

Viewed from the uphill slope, Shanlin Town is located in a plain area between mountains. Although there are hillsides in the town, they are not high. They are much gentler than the peaks they passed when they came. It is a typical hilly feature.

"I remember Hallwater said that after crossing the forestland in the east and north directions of Shanlin Town, they face the sea."

The sea is also a kind of resource. If you can extend your territory to the seaside, that is also a rare thing.

Looking away, Luo Ning walked to the road sign, which was the big stone. He patted the stone twice. This thing was not light. It weighed at least several hundred kilograms.

"McCann, I have a task for you."

McCann stepped forward, "Sir, please speak."

Luo Ning pointed at the big stone and said, "When we settle down and have some free time, please move this road sign for me."

"no problem!"

McCann looked at the stone. If he wanted to move it, he would probably need to use a horse-drawn carriage.

"My lord, where do you want me to move it?"

Luo Ning pondered slightly, "Just follow this road and move about fifty miles south first."

"Oh, by the way, if it's inconvenient to move it, just smash this stone and set up another road sign fifty miles away."

Hearing this, Elrond next to him smiled, "Congratulations, sir, your territory has expanded again!"

"Haha, you can understand what I mean immediately!"

Judging from the journey here, there is still a lot of undeveloped land in this area. Who knows whether Count Wiggins will recruit a pioneer knight to compete with him for land.

First, move the territorial landmarks further away. If someone comes over, then they can argue with Luo Ning first.

"McCann, Elrond, and David, you are all extraordinary beings, and your observation skills are a little sharper than ordinary people. Pay more attention to your surroundings during your break, and report any situation immediately."

Although he had arrived in his own territory, Luo Ning did not relax his vigilance due to his previous experience of being assassinated by guards.

He couldn't tell whether it was his subjects or his enemies who greeted him.
