Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster Chapter 3: Find a foothold


The first generation of Earl Perast was a great knight with great fighting spirit. When he followed King Salar, he hoped that he could also establish a small duchy, and even prepared several places for himself. It is a pity that the beast tide broke out that year, and the development of the Salar Kingdom came to an end. The defense line was too far away from the place prepared by this great knight, and he had never been able to become a heaven knight, so he had to give up. The earl has always hoped that a sky knight will appear in his descendants, so he hides the location in the handbook and leaves it to the heirs. It is true that the border of Salar has been gradually pushed away over the millennium, but unfortunately, there are not many great knights in his descendants. If it wasn't for Salar's stipulation that nobles must be knights or above in order to inherit, Perast probably would not have even knights.

On the second day of becoming a warlock, Hill began to analyze where these sites were suitable for building a mage tower. The Great Knight of Perast has many wonderful ideas, but his weak strength makes him look for some hidden places, which are very suitable for Hill. Hill finally chose a valley about 15 days away from the border of the Salar Kingdom, and the mountain range was almost exactly the size of an earldom. The Perast Knight felt that everything was good, but a small place was just right for him. Hill has no desire to build a duchy, and legend is his pursuit.

Bonn's driving skills are very good, and the alchemy carriage is also very stable. Hill takes out a pen and paper to silently calculate his inventory, and he will have his own home soon.

I don't know how long it took, Bonn knocked on the window a few times: "Baron, it's time to rest and eat."

This is a campsite, and Bonn has released an alchemy tent. Hill got out of the car and stretched out, Lina was ready for dinner. Before walking into the tent to eat, and looking at Lina who was busy, Hill said to Bonn: "I saw a maid on the road buying a few, and let Lina teach it well. The housekeeper only needs to take care of things!"

Bonn said with a smile: "I know! It's my mother who doesn't want to buy servants here. She will consider it when she sees a good one. Don't worry about it."

Hill rolled his eyes at him: "Then go and help. Let Lina take the child to sleep in the outside room at night, and you go to sleep in the carriage!"

"Okay, okay!" Bonn was helpless: "How could I let my mother sleep in the carriage!"

After Hill went in, Bonn found Lina: "Mom, Lord Baron asked you to buy servants!"

Lina glanced at him: "Did you say this is not suitable?"

"Of course I did!" Bonn: "He feels sorry for you! Also, he asked you to take Dean and Shanny to sleep outside."

"What do boys know!" Lina said resolutely: "It's so close to the royal city, the better ones have been delivered! We can only buy people when we get to the border, just to add a few more good horses. Okay. , I know, let Dean and Shanny go to sleep when the Baron is asleep!"

Locke came over: "Or let them sleep in the carriage with me."

"Just take good care of the horse!" Shanny said, "The baron doesn't want the children to suffer. No matter how comfortable the carriage is, it is not a bed. The children are sensible and will not make noise. The most important thing is to rest! There is still so long. Where's the road!"

"Mmmm!" Locke went along to feed the horses.

Hill smiled and listened to the conversation outside. After summoning two earth element vigils, he immersed himself in meditation.

After all, it is inside the kingdom, and nothing happens overnight. Hill handed everything over to Bonn, meditated every day, and the journey went smoothly. Hill was really glad that he was not a male protagonist of online literature, and he didn't want a magnificent life. All the way is smooth, safe and sound is what he expects.

After traveling for a month, I finally arrived at the western border city of Fisher. Lina bought 10 or so young servants in the previous cities to teach them carefully, and they can already be used for some purposes. Locke chose 2 bigger boys for training, and it was enough to drive the carriage behind the team. Lina decided to buy some good horses in the border city.

These days Dean and Shanny are in Hill's carriage, and Hill teaches them how to read when she's bored. Bonn looked earthy every time he saw it.

Hill felt so happy. It had been a long time since he had seen Bonn's face like this. During the 4 years in the castle, although Bonn tried to hide as much as possible, when he was caught, they dared not let him be seriously injured, but bumps and bumps were always inevitable. Although these exercised Bonn's will, he matured quickly, and even awakened a little mana. While Bonn felt accomplished, Hill was still sad. Bonn was originally a cheerful and lively character, but he became more and more taciturn and cautious. The pain of not being able to protect his childhood friend made Hill desperate for power, which may be one of the reasons why he suddenly awakened as a warlock. The farther away from the White Horse City, the more small escapes that Bonn hides, and Hill is really happy.

They're taking a week off at Fisher. Hill took out his mage robe and put it on. No one will easily offend the mage. Salar is a country built on the edge of the wilderness, and only 20 kilometers away from the border can open up its territory. Even if the knight's fate is bad and encounters a few beast tides, he can only give up. Salar is an emerging country that has just a millennium, and there is still a lot of room for development in the country. The small nobles and new knights who have been separated can still make contributions in the army guarding the border and ennoble them. Now most of the people who go abroad to build territories are the second sons of the great nobles like Hill, and they are all people who have the ability and do not want to stay in the country and be governed by their elder brothers.

South of Salar is the royal homeland of Heva Sardo. To the east is a long coastline. The north is the most powerful wild land, and several small principalities have been established outside the territory of Salar. Although the West is also a wilderness, it is mountainous and wasteland, not suitable for building a country, but it is very suitable for a little warlock like Hill who just wants to build a small territory and hide.

Few of the territories built near the western part of the Salar persisted, and they were all fortresses built in the mountains.

The Great Border Wall in Salar still focuses on preventing animal tides, and there are few illegal businesses in the city. Merchants also went out of the city to deliver goods in noble territories, buying furs, horses and specialties by the way. Robbers like to rob merchants who deliver goods to noble lands. And the merchants and robbers who can persist in this kind of place must have the support of those in power behind them. In fact, this also constitutes a kind of balance. On the contrary, few mages who leave the city dare to provoke them. A mages who go abroad with their servants may go out to build mages towers, but they are more likely to offend people and go out to live in seclusion for a few years. . Good things are packed in the ring, so they can't be trapped. If they say they run, they will run away. If the plot is plotted, they may fail. If they look back for revenge, they must go directly to the messenger behind the scenes. And if the person who gives the money causes trouble, it will be gone once it happens. There is no one doing a life without much benefit.

Hill stayed in the best hotel in town and didn't move. Locke took Bonn to buy horses, Lina trained the newly bought servants in the hotel, and went out on the last day to buy enough food to fill a carriage. Hill took out two more alchemy carriages, and all those who secretly watched them gave up. Another hard-pressed mage who went out to live in seclusion. There are actually 2 carriages in the ring! The carriage is valuable, but robbing a mage for a few carriages is a fool's errand.

The Great Wall on the Western Frontier cost a lot of manpower and material resources of the Salar Kingdom. Between two mountains 500 kilometers apart, a 300-meter-high and 20-meter-wide city wall was built with boulders. Protect the magic circle.

Looking at the Great Wall winding up the mountains from a distance, he felt majestic and majestic, but when he walked to the bottom, he saw the huge black stone walls shining with magical aura, and Hill felt intimidated. In this tunnel for going out of the city, after showing the noble documents, Hill looked back at the way he came from, and when he came back, he didn't know how many years later.

Within 20 kilometers out of the city, it has to be cleaned at regular intervals, but the road with potholes outside the city is not easy to walk. Hill took out an alchemy map and handed it to Bonn, and looked back at the Great Wall. There are 4 border cities on the Great Wall. He specially showed the noble documents. Although the earl will know where he is going, he must let Fran know where he is going and where he went from~IndoMTL.com~ Hill opened The formation of the alchemy carriage, Bonn drove the carriage and set off.

Hill opened the magic circle of the alchemy carriage, and Bonn drove the carriage at the head and set off.

Hill put a wood spirit on each of the four carriages. The magic power on them is enough to open the floating formation. Each carriage has 2 horses taking turns to exert force, and the speed is very fast. The wood spirit can soothe the horses and restore their physical strength, and the magic stones in the car are enough to maintain the defensive formation. Hill sat in the carriage with confidence and waited to see if there was really someone with short eyes. As a result, no one attacked until he left the safe area, and Hill sighed in relief and regret. He knew he was a coward, but he really didn't want to kill.

Bonn is much stronger than him. Since he has the mana to go out, the scroll potion that Hill gave him has been consumed. But he knew that Bonn didn't want to say anything because he didn't want Hill to stop him from going out, so he could only silently prepare protective items for him, and gave Bonn two of his four rings. Fill one of these with scrolls, potions and alchemical bombs.

Hill has read a lot of novels before, and the protagonists are also children who grew up in the greenhouse of modern society. Many people have never even experienced the brutal beatings of society, and they can kill them immediately and decisively! What a hard heart it takes to do this! Hill worked on the construction site for 10 years after graduating from college. He met countless parties who wanted to kill him. He was on the verge of losing control of anger every day, but he never did it. He is a child raised in the modern legal society, and he does not want to kill.

But he now lives in a terrible world where human life sometimes seems so cheap. Even the pure Melanie in his eyes would burn the thief who entered the manor with a fireball. The enthusiastic mother Lina, and the calm Locke who whipped up the slaves who made mistakes were also ruthless.
