The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 185: Mountain people's village

The prairie in the northern part of the Kingdom of Holleta has no name. The people in the world directly call it the “savannah”. This vast land is in the middle of the uninhabited uninhabited zone, while the surrounding areas are The country's blurred boundary line, for some historical reasons, many parts of this grassland are in a state of loyalty. The southern part of the grassland bordering the Kingdom of Holleta is nominally a kingdom territory, but in fact there are no officials here. And the garrison, Lunber town is the northernmost administrative unit of the kingdom. As for this prairie, its actual rulers are wolves, wild beasts and violent vision disasters. .

The Wolf King once mentioned the legend here. The ancient magical civilization has set off a big battle here. The ancient battlefields are buried under the green grasslands of the prairie. The powerful ancient warriors of the past still ushered their powerful magic in the ground. Power has led to magical disasters such as hurricanes, thunderstorms and even blizzards on the grasslands. It is precisely because of this that neighboring countries are not willing to invest too much energy in this grassland. It is really not suitable for people.

However, the border areas of the grasslands are still relatively safe. Some sections have never even suffered from magical disasters. A few years ago, a group of mountain people who came out of the mountains in the west established a small village in such a neutral zone. I don't know what agreement the mountain people have with the Holleta royal family. The village has been preserved in the form of a border-like trade zone—although it is hundreds of kilometers away from the true settlement of mountain people.

Small villages have no name. People in the kingdom generally call it "western village" or "mountain village". Those who are strong and used to travel long distances often travel between the village and their own home. The medicinal materials and jade that are only produced in the wild west forest are transported here, and they are used to exchange alchemy items and other daily necessities with the Holletta. At the same time, they also adapted to the way of grazing in the plains in a short period of time. The livestock leather produced by the small village and the extremely resistant beasts are also very popular with the Holletta. As a result, this small village now has a taste of a neutral trade zone.

The above information is on the way to the village, Becky tells everyone that the mercenary girl thinks that Hao Ren, since they are "travelers from the northern empire", should only communicate with the Kingdom of Holleta. The mountain people don't know much, so they acted as a guide, and this saved Hao Ren a lot of trouble.

The villages of the mountain people are not big. At first glance, there seems to be only a hundred and ten households. The scattered and scattered are not planned to be distributed on a gentle **** of a slightly higher terrain. The village has no walls. Only a circle of wooden fences that seem to be solid at the periphery is counted as a boundary. A gentle river next to the **** of the village is the source of drinking water for the villagers. On the other side of the river, a white stone can be seen. The square building built by the bricks is a house that is completely different from the style of the village houses. It looks like the common residential style in the town of Rumbel, and it doesn't know what it is for. The mountain people's own houses are cylindrical, built with wood, and the outer walls are covered with leather, and the gaps are filled with thatch and clay. It looks like a tall yurt, which is a little familiar.

The people got out of the village because there were no roads and gates, so they went straight into the settlement. This is the time when the local life is cooking. Most people are at home. Only three or five men who have nothing to do on the street are hanging around, and Hao Renyi sees these villagers to know why Izak will be recognized as a mountain man: here People are extremely tall!

They wore costumes sewed with coarse cloth and animal skins. Although these clothes look rough but work fine, they give a feeling of ethnic minorities. Most people are about two meters tall, and the shortest one that Hao Ren sees is estimated to be one head higher than himself. The mountain people are strong and solid. Although the human form of Izak is not so exaggerated, it is still enough for the uninformed person to mistake the latter for the mountain people. Hao Ren saw that the man in the village still painted horizontal and vertical stripes with some kind of white and yellow pigments. I don't know what it means. It is probably the custom of mountain people.

Anyway, it is a strong exotic atmosphere that comes to the forefront - there is also a meal.

I ran this way, and at noon I also ate some snacks. Hao Ren’s stomach was really hungry. Lily next to it was exaggerated. The girl now looks at the turf eyes on the ground. The eyes are green... Hungry like this?

The villagers saw that a group of outsiders came to their villages and did not react much. They probably used to deal with the Holletta people. They saw that the outsiders only smiled and waved their hands and said hello. It looked neither alienated nor abrupt. Someone was a little curious when they saw Hao Ren’s strange costumes. Becky is obviously a regular customer here. She walked in front of the team and said hello to some villagers, then asked someone to ask if the village head was in the village.

“The village head just came back yesterday,” said a brown-haired man with two stripes on his face, pointing at a large house in the middle of the village. “A lot of outsiders have come to the village recently, and there are also people staying in the village. Two days just led people to the town to buy food."

"I made a lot of money this time," Betsy smiled heartily and looked like a tomboy. "Look at the chain on your neck."

"Alright, okay, sold a few horses..."

When Becky talked to an acquaintance, Hao Ren finally remembered where he had seen the architecture similar to the village: just the night he saw the Black Wolf King, he saw it in the grassland. Several nomadic huts are this style!

It is said that the nomads mentioned by the Black Wolf King who lived on the grassland for a while and then moved away are the people of this village. This is really nowhere in the world.

Vivian was hitting Hao Ren’s arm after observing the local house style: “There is no Leta Rune here.”

"Probably only the Kingdom of Holleta has inherited a bit of knowledge about runes," Hao Ren nodded. "It can be seen from the name."

Izaks took a chance to move around and said: "Hey - I don't know what's going on, there is a sense of relaxation here."

Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "Crap, here are the little giants. You can finally look up when you talk to people. You don't have a sense of tension, I don't want to twist."

Can you not be awkward? Whoever you talk to firstly targets the nostrils. It takes a long time for the spirit to suffer from the cervical spine.

At this time, Betsy and her acquaintances were also exhausted. She asked everyone to hand over the horse to the brown-haired man with two bars on his face: "Take the horse to Zanaro, let us stay at the village head for one night. Even the people bring their horses to raise their energy, and they can only advance in the wilderness for two days starting tomorrow."

The man named Zanaro smiled happily at Hao Ren, revealing his mouth full of white teeth, and then he did not see him take the reins, just a strange and loud scream in front of the horse team, a few horses bowed their eyes Very tame and walked behind him. Becky smiled and introduced Hao Ren: "Mountains are too tall. They can't ride other horses except Kel's, but they are a good player in horse training. No matter what kind of horses can be. To the taming of the taming, they said that their ancestors signed an agreement with the gods in the forest, as long as the descendants of the mountain people still respect the mountains, they can communicate with the beasts, and do not know the true and false. ”

Listening to Becky introducing some interesting legends about the mountain people, everyone came to the front of the largest cylindrical house in the middle of the village. An old man who was white was standing at the door. This was wearing a blue robes and three white stripes on his face. The old man was the village head of the village. Just now he heard that Becky was leading a group of strangers and was waiting at the door early. After seeing the group, the old village chief screamed with Becky: "Little girl! Leading a friend?"

I am afraid that this young man with bright voices will not dare to compare. Hao Ren feels a little bit tickle from a dozen meters away.

"Father!" Becky smiled. "Come on the day! I have to go to the blood lake of Beinz!"

"I know that you will follow up to join in the fun," the old village chief looks really familiar with Becky. The face of the conversation with the elders seeing the kindness of the juniors, then he waved to Hao Ren and others. All are guests, come in, and the family is cooking."

It seems that the mountain people are still very hospitable. Hao Ren led several people to say hello to the old village chief. The latter obviously stunned when he saw Izak: "Hey, this momentum looks like... you are also a mountain. People? Which tribe came?"

Hao Ren quickly put this problem on the perfunctory, saying that Izak grew up with the plain people in the north because of family changes, so I don't know much about this issue. I used to say that Izak was a mountain man. This excuse was very good. Now I am in a real mountain village. He is really afraid that Betsy will come up and take Izax everywhere to recognize the family. The tribes form the society as a unit, and the same tribe or a more close tribe is a "family" in their eyes. It is not impossible to live with the mercenary girl!

Fortunately, the old village chief did not care much about this issue. He only enthusiastically greeted everyone into the house. He did not give Hao Ren a chance to be a guest. He just rushed for a meal. After a while, everyone was put on the hot front. Featured meals.

When the old village chief just sat down, Vivian asked: "Have you been a tall woman in white clothes two days ago?" (To be continued.)
