The town of Gurudin is located at the westernmost point of the Pai Plateau and is the first fortress to guard the western gate of the Pai Plateau.This is a far cry from the town of Yemen, where the Yemeni fortress guards the northern gate of the Pai Plateau, and because of the dangerous path of death, even when the mighty army faces that path of death, it will bow its proud head, which is a passage to hell.The mountain road between the mountains on the west side, although not much shorter than the road of death, but the mountain road is indeed not difficult to walk, several tributaries of the Ulutu River also pass through the mountains, travelers can find a water source that can be used in the mountains at will, for thousands of years, the war between humans and orcs will always spill blood all over this long road, so this trade road from the town of Gurudin at the western foot of the Pai Plateau to the city of Sloyt, the largest city in the Sloit Province of the Terran Grimm Empire, is called the blood road.For hundreds of years, with the slow passage of the magic age, the magic controlled by the elves has slowly spread to every corner of the world, and the human race has quickly mastered the essence of magic power with a stronger learning ability.Eighty years ago, the Grand Duke of Sloit, the northern province of the Grimm Empire, was the Grand Duke of Shatun.
Ellie drove the orcs back to the Pai Plateau completely, and led the North Wind Legion along the blood road to Gurudin Town, in order to prevent the invasion of humans, the orcs built a large number of fortifications along the Guruding Town, at that time, the young generation of Kulebaolos High Priest led the strong men of the blood wolf clan, and desperately blocked humans from Gurudin Town, and at the last moment comprehended the shaman's most powerful magic "Soul Walker's Gift", with the four element totems to protect the shaman, Finally drove the Northwind Legion out of the Pai Plateau.And now, the top executive of the northern provinces, Xia Tun.
Grand Duke Ellie has passed away fifty years ago, but the High Priest of Kulepaolos, who became famous in the first war, the spiritual leader of the blood wolf clan has become the most powerful elder of the orc elders, and the town of Gurudin has also become a large town that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, over the years, the relationship between humans and orcs has gradually eased, and private merchants have begun to appear between the two places, and Gurudin Town has become the most important trading town in the western plateau, trade has brought great wealth to Gurudin, and it has also made the blood wolf clan continue to become stronger, It seems that he already has the strength of the largest tribe in the western wasteland, no wonder Kuz always walks with his head held high when he is in Yemen, and even when he enters the auction hall, he keeps his waist straight.Laitu, a small tribe without any name, belongs to the vassal tribe of the Blood Wolf Clan, and as long as they symbolically hand over some local specialties every year and report the population of the tribe to the Elders of Guruding Town, they have a contract that is allowed by the Elders to live on the edge of the Death Swamp, and they can have a piece of land of their own, which is not available to every small tribe in the orc tribe, and most of the small tribes still live a nomadic life.This is one of the reasons why the old witch doctor Gribaschen does not want to go to the Guruding Elders' Church for help, once the Elders determine that their tribe does not have the strength to live on the edge of the Death Swamp, then other nomadic tribes will rush in.After our group followed the leader of Laitu out of the valley road of Yelian Mountain, along the way, we saw more orcs digging edible grass roots in the wasteland, and there were also stronger teams of people trying to cross this mountain range and reach the hinterland of the northern wasteland to kill the one-horned bison.From a few hundred meters away, the hungry orcs could smell the scent of cooked beef emanating from the tribal women.At first, Miss Qi would sit on the high mountain of medicinal herbs, and as the Yagui beast walked forward one by one, her willow-like waist also swayed, and whenever she saw a skinny orc child in some team, she would pull out a brick-sized piece of dried meat from her backpack, call a few words to the child in broken orc language, and then throw the whole piece of dried meat to him."
Hairy crabs!
Hairy crabs!
”Then there will be such a constant sound of thanks, and the thank you in orc language is almost transliterated as "hairy crab".Whether it's a surprise orc child or a strong orc walking silently on the road, they will thank Qige sitting on the pile of medicinal herbs.But gradually, as the number of hungry orcs on the road continued to increase, Miss Qi's food package quickly bottomed out.On the side of the road, I could see several orc children sitting in a row, they were skinny, looking at the adults in the wilderness digging the roots of all kinds of wild vegetables with bone tools, and there would be all kinds of wild vegetables and roots in front of them, I walked with Caterina and I on the side of the road, and saw those children staring at the roots of the vegetables and swallowing their saliva, when they couldn't help it, they took out the water bladder from their arms, drank a big sip of water fiercely, and continued to look at the adults digging wild vegetables in the depths of the grassland."
This is too damaging to the grassland, if there is less rain this year, the alfalfa grass will not grow in this grassland, and when the soil layer is frozen in winter, the fertile soil will be blown away by the north wind layer by layer in winter, hey!
Drink to quench your thirst!
”The old orc Gribaschen always sighed like this whenever he saw such a scene, and his feelings for the pasture were too deep to be expressed.I complained in my heart, haven't you dug grass roots in the northern foothills of the wasteland, what do they eat if you don't dig grass roots?"
I'm afraid it's a large area of land north of Yelian Mountain, it's hard to see hares, pheasants and the like, and I'm afraid that the yellow sheep have also migrated to distant places, and this grassland can be cultivated for a whole summer, it's okay."
An old orc came slowly from the west side on crutches, he was wearing a white linen robe, he came to the orc children, squatted down with great difficulty, stretched out his withered arm and constantly examined the pile of wild vegetable roots, his movements were so slow and laborious, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.The group of orc children hurriedly surrounded them, and the eldest child in the lead wanted to shout, but he didn't say anything anyway, just wanted to get forward, picked some fresh and tender ones from the pile of wild vegetables as much as possible, pushed them to the old orc, and said: "You must have not eaten for a long time, this is what my grandma picked, you can taste it!"
This purslane is very tender and tastes better when boiled into soup, but we have a hard time finding firewood, and the bison in the wasteland have all moved away, and we have not been able to pick up cow dung or anything recently. ”"This is your share?"
The old orc looked up at the orc child with a kind gaze.The orc child bowed his head and was silent, and only after a while did he raise his head and say, "I only have the right to give you my share." ”Pointing to the other thin orc children, he said, "They haven't eaten anything since last night!"
We walked a long way overnight to get here, but I didn't expect that the wild vegetables here are also very difficult to find!
”"Huh!
I seem to smell the aroma of cooked beef, as if spices have been added in addition to salt, and it tastes so good!
It seems that we don't have to eat these bland wild vegetables, hehe!
Since you invited me to eat your wild vegetables, then I invited you to eat their beef!
”As the old orc spoke, he had already turned over the wild vegetables in the wild vegetable pile one by one, quickly placed the various wild vegetables together, and then said to the orc boy who was a little surprised on the side: "Look carefully, I will only teach you these once." ”When the old orc spoke, it was when Qige passed by on the Yagui Beast, she was looking at it with the mentality of watching the excitement, no way, even if she saw this group of hungry children was very pitiful, she touched the bottom of the backpack, and the last meat brick was also lost to the previous orc child, so she could only withdraw her hand regretfully, and silently listened to the conversation between the old orc and the eldest child.Gribaschen also stood still thinking about the old orc's words, and could see that he had some understanding."
This looks like a wild radish, but there are knots on the rhizome, and there are few roots, you see its leaves grow in the palm shape, this thing is not a wild radish, this is a herb, it tastes a little bitter, and it is easy to produce false fire, this thing is called kudzu, a plant so big is sold to human merchants in Guruding Town, at least twenty copper plates."
The old orc clenched his withered hands into fists, compared them in front of the older children, and said to him, "You can get such a large piece of beef." ”Then he pointed to the ground and picked out a bunch of kudzu from the large pile of wild vegetables, and said to the orc boy, "These are these!
”I didn't expect that the rotten wild vegetables could be exchanged for beef, and the children didn't quite believe what the old orc said, but there was a clear sound of swallowing saliva.The eldest child looked at the pile of kudzu on the ground with wide eyes, and said with some surprise: "Originally, my father said that he could take me to the wasteland this year to learn to collect medicine and hunt, but the food stored in the winter was not enough, he and the other adults in the village went to find the demon antelope flock, we were hungry in the village, so we came out with the grandmothers to dig wild vegetables to eat, I don't know them very well, this is really kudzu?"
”Qige sat on the medicine picking bag and saw this scene clearly, not only this pile of kudzu, but also three Ningshen grasses on the side, and a small pile of hemostatic grasses, all of which were neatly placed by the old orcs, and shouted in surprise: "Oops!
I didn't think of that!
”Saying that, Qige, who was wearing a light armor of demon antelope skin, slipped down from the back of the Yagui beast, this leather armor was so sexy and beautiful when it was worn on Caterina before, and after wearing it on Qige at this time, it became dignified and gorgeous, that is, it was light and protected Qige's whole body very well, and then tied a wide belt, it looked very heroic.Qige pedaled the long deerskin boots, walked briskly past me, skillfully turned out a piece of meat floss brick from my satchel, this thing is not much even for us, it is a very hard work to beat the dried beef into meat fiber little by little, it is not enough to knock it into meat floss, this thing is not easy to carry, but also put the finished meat floss into a wooden box, compacted with a wooden pole, only in this way is it easy to carry.Kuzi has the patience to do this, and these meat floss is still our stock when we were in the saltwater pond, and we have eaten all the way.The old orc pointed at Kig and smiled at the older child and said, "Look, here comes the one who brought us meat!"
”Then he saw Qige take the square brick of meat floss, put it on the ground and said to the eldest child, "This piece of jerky will be exchanged for these herbs for you, will you change it?"
