Walking on the road of the warehouse, looking at the various materials in the warehouse, and listening to the quartermaster Felix talk to me about Trum, I gradually learned that in fact, the geographical location of Trum is quite good, and the sphere of influence of the Grand Duke of Samoyed has not yet touched the vast area of the southern Black Forest.The city of Tanton and the stronghold of Trum, as well as the many outposts along the way, were originally established to prevent the counterattack of the natives of the large tribes south of the Hiero plane.The Grand Duke of Samoyed was a foreign invader, and from the first day they set foot in the Hiro plane, they began to encroach on the homeland of the indigenous people, and were ostracized by the natives of the Hiro plane, and these indigenous tribes were strong and weak, many of which were in the area south of the Black Forest.Those indigenous tribes have their own unique Ming, the strength of those tribal warriors is equivalent to the average level of a warrior, the Grand Duke of Samoyed must send a Knights to be able to defeat those indigenous warriors from the front, it is said that the Grand Duke of Samoyed is facing these original inhabitants, it is unlikely that it will be so easy to gain a foothold in the Hiero plane, it has been proved that there will be fights where there are people, and there are also tribes of the indigenous people, and the thoughts between their tribes are not too uniform, some big tribes are in peace, and some big tribes are in battle.However, it was in this gap that the Grand Duke of Samoyed, led his Constructed Knights, to occupy a large area on the Hiero plane.The city of Pereira is considered the rear of the Samoyed sphere of influence, and the city of Tanton is the southernmost point of the Samoyed Grand Duke's sphere of influence.Many of the adventure parties travel south from Tanton City to hunt for monsters in the forest, collect rare magical herbs, and search for precious gems.After starting from Tanton City, these adventurers usually pass through Trum, so Trum gradually showed its importance, and it is precisely because of this that Trum gradually expanded from a large outpost to a stronghold, a warehouse for temporary material transfer.Some merchant groups that engage in smuggling trade with the local natives will store their goods in the military warehouses in Trum, and some adventure groups will hoard the materials they use in the Trum stronghold, making this place their own supply depot, after all, the warehouse here is large enough, and the reputation of the quartermaster Felix is very delisted in Tanton City, and many merchants are willing to pay a small storage fee to store the hoarded materials here.However, as the dark forces in the abyss opened a passage and continued to invade Trum, the entire power map of the Hiero plane has changed dramatically, and the entire Black Forest has been invaded by the Nibru spider people, and many adventure groups and merchant groups have disappeared into the vast southern forest.Along the way, listening to Felix talk a lot about Trume, I couldn't help but ask him: "So, only the bed crossbow in the front of the warehouse is the armament material, and the later materials are already considered ownerless?"
Are you sure which merchants won't suddenly come out of the city of Pereira and exchange their vouchers for supplies with you?
”"There will definitely be, but definitely not much!
What should be taken away was transferred at the beginning of this war, when the Trump stronghold was not yet trapped. ”Felix smiled, and I thought his eyes were more like that of a shrewd businessman, and then he said very firmly: "Moreover, now that the whole of Trump is in ruins, even these bed crossbows are actually a mess!"
”I don't understand why Felix is telling me this secret, the less people know about it, the better, and he wants to sell me these supplies?
Or maybe he guessed that I am now in a predicament of lack of food, nearly seven hundred natives of the Hiro plane and five hundred barbarians, the amount of food needed is huge, and the food produced by the orcs in the Xinliu Valley is still far from self-sufficient.I thought: instead of guessing in my mind, it is better to ask directly.So I calmly asked, "So what do you mean by asking me to come here?"
”Unexpectedly, at this time, Felix sold me a pass, he smiled very gentlemanly, and then said to me: "Please continue to go inside, what I want to say is that the answer is actually on the wall of the secret room in the warehouse!"
”Almost every warehouse has a rest room inside, and the warehouse converted from this natural cave beneath the cliff face of Trum is no exception.Two attendants led us to the lounge, and when we opened the wooden door of the lounge, we were greeted by a long stone table and rows of wooden chairs, on one side of the shelves were filled with cups and plates, and on the other side of the wall was a huge closet with all kinds of cooking utensils such as iron pots and kettles, where simple food could be cooked, and where the storekeeper usually rested.I saw that the tables in this lounge were covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and when the two attendants walked in, they quickly found a rag and began to wipe the tables and chairs, and Kig and I followed Quartermaster Felix inside, and he found a fairly clean place to sit down, and then looked up at the two attendants.The attendants understood and quickly walked out of the lounge, closing the door of the lounge.Felix stood up, took a scroll from the side shelf, and slowly unfolded it in front of the table, a very clear and detailed map of Trump appeared in front of our eyes, this map clearly described how high each mountain was, the types of trees in each valley, and there was a lot of important information marked on the map, such as the dangerous red cross drawn in the dust swamp area, and the annotation at the bottom of the map, which described the dangerous creatures in the dust swamp in detail.I found three coins stuck to the map, two of them were egg-sized steel coins, I don't remember any of the Greene Empire's coins that were made of steel with a light layer of rust on them, and the other coin was a silver coin, which I think must have a special meaning.I pointed to the place where the red cross was drawn, and said to Felix, "I've been here, it's a swamp mire with a mist where I've killed some spider-man warriors, and this swamp is home to strange water elemental creatures that are almost completely immune to all physical attacks. ”"It's a detailed map of everything around Trum, it's like an encyclopedia, detailing everything around Trum."
Felix glanced up at me, a bunch of wrinkles on his forehead, and his pale blue pupils looked a little cold."
So you've seen that mysterious swamp?
It was that swamp that kept the natives south of the forest at bay that allowed us to build a stronghold of Trum here, and those natives had to take a long detour to get to Trum. ”He pointed to the location of a steel hammer and said to me, "This is an open-pit iron mine that has not yet had time to be developed. ”I remember very clearly that there was a huge screen about ten kilometers long on that hillside, like a huge cliff, so I said to Felix, "I think I've been here, there's a huge piece of iron ore there, and it looks rusty." ”A faint smile appeared in Felix's eyes, and when he spoke to me, he seemed more cordial, and he continued to point to another steel coin, and said to me: "There is also an iron mine here, and this is a silver mine, but it is located in the mountains on the east side of Tum, and the road leading to it is a little difficult. ”He smiled at my puzzled eyes, paused for a moment, and then said to me, "This is a very rich land. ”"You're right!"
I stared at Felix, wondering what he was trying to tell me, something that would probably be known to the Grand Duke of Samoyed or the future administrator of the Trump stronghold.Felix pretended to exhale lightly before saying, "The winner of the Battle of Trump belongs to us after all, and those spider-man warriors are all dead. ”He pressed his hand on the map casually, and continued: "If you want me to say, the Duke of Samoyed's actions this time must be a little rash.He led the three Constructed Knights to approach the Nibru spider-man occupation area, but he didn't expect that these spider-men would also be of great use for this kind of money, and when he returned to Tanton City with his army, it would be the day of reconquest, of course, this day is not too far away from us. ”This is the first time I've heard anyone talk about the Grand Duke of Samoyed, and it seems that a general of Felix's level already has access to some core secrets.At this time, I heard Felix speak: "When the time comes, the Grand Duke will definitely reward meritorious deeds, after all, whether he wants to do this kind of thing or not, he still has to do it for others to see, especially you, Jijia Magician, you have the aura of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy and the Magic Guild behind you, you will definitely be rewarded by the Duke of Samoyed, when you accept the reward, you might as well look farther, although there is a huge danger here in Trume, but it also has very rich resources." ”Knowing that at this time, I somewhat understood that Felix said so much, it was actually for my future preparation, what he said should be the reward of the Grand Duke of Samoyed, listening to Felix say this, it seems that the Grand Duke of Samoyed should not be a stingy person.So as soon as I said: "You mean to let me" Before I finished speaking, I was quickly interrupted by Felix, and I heard him wave his hand and say: "No, no, no, I didn't say anything, after all, some things still need you to make your own decisions, I have no intention of swaying your thoughts, but before you make a choice, I just want you to recognize the advantages in front of you, and what kind of benefits some choices in the future will bring to you." ”As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and unfolded it again in front of me, and a dense row of lists was placed in front of me, and I heard him say again: "Actually, I brought you to this warehouse for another purpose.I'm just here to claim some supplies, including cotton, linen, and grain, whatever is in this storehouse, but it must not be those bed crossbows, I can make a list for you, and maybe you will become the new owner of those supplies. ”I looked at Felix dumbfounded, I didn't know what to say for a while, and I didn't understand why Felix would give me such a big gift, you know, the other materials in this warehouse are definitely not a small amount, in El City, if you can have so many materials, you can basically open a medium-sized trading house.Felix flashed a soft gaze in his eyes at this time, that kind of look was like a loving father looking at his children, no, that look seemed to be mixed with some other different feelings, there seemed to be some nostalgia and reluctance, maybe it was a kind of entanglement that the treasure in his hand was about to be handed over to others, yes, his heart was sour, there was a little bit of entanglement, and the smile on his face appropriately showed these complex feelings.Kig looked at me with a smirk, as if he was beginning to understand.Felix stared at me, he smiled and said: "I have always lived a military life alone, since I was young, I followed the Duke to fight everywhere, originally I thought that this would be the fate of my life, but I didn't expect that life can have another flavor, that is a colorful world different from black and white. ”His gaze softened, and he continued: "During the days when Caterina came to Trum, my life became colorful, she could bring me a glass of hot milk in the morning, maybe she would sing by the canal and do the laundry, and sometimes, I might have the illusion that it must have been Lady Luck who had arranged for her to come to me, and that she was my daughter. ”Felix's eyes were immersed in some memories: "She slowly grew from a small clerk to a tenacious warrior, she little by little on the battlefield, little by little to overcome the fear in her heart, to become an excellent general." ”"In her spare time, she would tell some of the things she had done when she was a child, but more often than not, she would mention her trip to the wasteland, which was perhaps her happiest and most memorable day, because in those memories, there was a noble lady who was rude and willful but could shelter her, a stray boy who was optimistic and kind by nature and tenacious and would rather be injured than protect his friends, and a little orc with the noble blood of an orc who aspired to become a beastmaster.""
She has always believed that one day, that homeless boy will become a magician, riding a magic rod and a noble lady to come to Trum to find her, every time there is a merchant group from the imperial capital here in the Trum stronghold, she will be extremely keen to inquire about some stories of the imperial capital, no matter what, as long as those merchants bring the latest news of the imperial capital, she can listen to it with relish.""
At that time, I knew that although she was in Trum, her heart stayed in the imperial capital, and she only came here to be able to wait quietly.""
I never dared to hope that there would be a magician nobleman riding a magic handle, coming to Trum with a magical glow to pick her up and give her happiness.""
Of course you know that in Grimm, being able to become a magician means having a lot of things, wealth, women, power, who cares about a passer-by in their childhood life, maybe time will erase some memories.""
But that day, when you appeared on the battlefield outside the city of the stronghold of Trum, holding the flames in one hand and the ice and snow in the other, although hiding your face in your hood, you must not know the tearful joy that Caterina showed when she stood on the head of the city, and then I gradually realized that maybe this person under the city is the happiness of her life."
After saying this, Felix was relieved from the memories and smiled gently at me: "Since you can give her the happiness she has always dreamed of, then of course I will prepare her a rich dowry, a dowry for the quartermaster of Trem!"
