She Is Not a Witch Chapter 69: Border market
"It's not a witch ()"!
After staying in the Nedshire for a period of time, the Lagertis caravan set off again. They will turn from the Nedshire to the Northern County Province of Crancia.
After nearly a week of journey, the convoy gradually drove out of Neid County, where there are many hills and forests, to the slightly open Cold Rock County.
The sky is gray, and there is a cool drizzle in the field of vision, raindrops dotted the verdant world like threads.
There are patches of grass on the ground, but these grasses are not connected together, but separated by high and low broken rocks. If you ride a horse along a straight line on this piece of land, you will jump up or down a'step' every some distance. These steps are the faults protruding from the rock on the ground, forming patches of varying heights on the ground.' cliff'.
The deep cyan rock feels cold to the touch and is very hard. Such a distinctive landform also gives this place the name ‘Cold Rock County’.
Thanks to the special terrain of this place, it is easy to set up defense lines and checkpoints to resist the impact of cavalry on the grassland. A long time ago, the kingdom of mankind used this as a border, isolating the ancientfia steppe from the north.
Subsequent human kingdoms have also successively inherited this idea, with few changes, until the later Westwind and Crancia.
Lorland Hill was sitting in the carriage, with a brown shawl outside the light red dress to withstand the cold weather. She opened the curtains and looked at the grass with varying heights in the distance.
"The ruins built by rocks were once beacon towers?"
A maid in a black and white uniform replied in the carriage: "Yes, Miss, those are the watchtowers and beacon towers built or repaired by Xifeng in the early years."
"My family's ancestors followed the King of the Westerly in the battle. Due to the vast grasslands and lack of water, the King of the Westerly planned to establish a fortress and guard point here, and use it as a stronghold to move north."
"Not only that, but some military lords have been named here to increase the resistance and prepare for future conquests."
"Unfortunately, the King of the West Wind gradually became in poor health. Coupled with the issue of heirs, the Northern Expedition was put on hold until later, when the throne was changed, the power changed, and the country stabilized again, it was decades later. "
"At this time, the monarch is no longer interested in the Northern Expedition, because the high-level nobles already know that there is not much wealth on the grassland, and it will consume a lot of manpower and resources to rule, and it will be thankless."
"The alternative is the rise of a large number of border commerce, and the rise of the lord who once enshrined the border. Our family is one of them."
"A large number of sentry towers and beacon towers have been left unused or abandoned. Now hundreds of years have passed, and most of them have become weedy ruins."
"Didn't the orc tribes go south to invade?" Lorrainhill lowered the curtains and looked at the maid in the car.
"Perhaps there was, but as far as I can remember, and from what I have heard from my elders, there has been no large-scale orc invasion."
"Why is this?" the girl asked curiously.
"Miss, the orcs are not like we have a unified country. Their various tribes have a lot of estrangement and fighting with each other."
"The tribes close to the south, relying on trade routes to make a lot of money, and also have rich food, naturally have no intention of breaking the relationship."
"It is the tribes in the north who are really hungry and militant, but they are not a short distance from the south. Coupled with the territorial concept of the southern tribes, using this as a buffer, our borders rarely invade."
"So for so many years, have there been no capable people on the grassland to unify the tribes and establish the kingdom of orcs?" Lorrain Hill recalled the history of the earth.
The Central Plains court often draws in and divides to maintain the dispersion of the grasslands and avoid going south, but even so, there are times when it misses and overturns several times later.
Although the west wind is strong, not every generation is at its peak and strength. There are also times of weakness and civil strife.
"This...I'm sorry, Miss, I don’t know why." The maid bowed her head apologetically. Although she was from a nobleman and had a certain degree of knowledge, she knew the history of her family and kingdom. The historical reasons behind it have not been considered so deeply.
"It doesn't matter, we will check it out then."
Lorlandhill comforted the maid and turned his gaze out of the window again. In one corner of the field of vision, colorful figures and tents began to appear. At this time, the rain stopped, and the sky slowly cleared. Through the gaps in the clouds, the green world after the rain shines all over.
As the convoy approached along the road, the noise of loud shouts, conversations, and the croaking of livestock gradually became clear.
Lorland Hill and Niya once went to the Gufia Grassland, but that time they went directly to the tribes in the north. They didn't know much about the southern border. This seems to be another scene.
Compared with the huge ancient Fia steppe, there are not many tribes close to the west wind border, but they are also exceptionally moist. In this wild market, you can see many alien races with animal ears.
They wore leather jackets with colorful decorations on their bodies, and their ears and horns were of different shapes. Compared to humans, they are much stronger and stronger, and they are often a bit taller.
However, in the bazaar, people often nod and bow to people. It is these strong orcs who are cautious.
"Excuse me, what do you think about this, this batch of goods is carefully selected and cleaned by us, there is no peculiar smell, please see what." An orc with leopard ears promoted to a human businessman .
"Don't go, we can still make it cheaper." The businessman shook his head and walked away casually.
"How do you sell these herbs? We can exchange them for fur..."
Lorraine Hill stepped out of the carriage, wearing a sun hat with flowers on her head and a layer of fine veil on her face, and walked into this open-air bazaar, accompanied by a few riders.
With her strength, she naturally does not need human protection, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and harassment, Mira still let several riders follow.
These riders wear cloaks and armors, which are not easy to provoke at first glance, and they can indeed act as a deterrent.
Compared with the orcs on the grassland, the rabbit ears are much happier now, and they look at the strange ‘comrades’ around them with a hint of curiosity.
There are humans and orcs in the stalls and merchants in the market, but the things that humans sell are different~IndoMTL.com~ and the things that orcs sell are similar.
An uncle with horns was yelling, telling how good his fur is. There are thick layers of fur stacked around him. These furs are **** with rope and placed on a simple wooden shelf, such as One by one colorful squares.
Lorraine Hill walked over and looked at these furs nearby. Most of them are cow and sheep leather, but there are also furs of foxes, wolves, deer and other animals.
"Can I touch it?" The girl's ethereal and clear voice came from under the veil.
"Yes, please take a look at this eldest lady." The uncle with horns saw Lorrain Hill and his entourage, knowing that the origin is not simple, and immediately complimented him with a few good-quality goods. , Put it on the table and choose for the girl.
