Kallen looked curiously at the little girl who was staying next to Cogne, who looked at her and others with a vigilant face. She could still hear the gurgling of the other party's stomach from time to time. She looked through her storage space and found that there was nothing on her. Dry food, after thinking about it, she felt that it was not appropriate to take food from Kiana or Mei, so she smiled kindly at the little girl.
Although he still got vigilant eyes.
"Hmm... Is the institutional culture similar to the European Middle Ages? But there is no such things as church and belief." Siegfried muttered to himself, and then looked at Cogne, "Then where is the nearest territory?" place?"
Cogne thought about it, but before he remembered it, Xina pointed in one direction and said, "That's Viscount Chakers over there, but I heard that the Viscount wanted to imitate the bravery of his ancestors. I brought private soldiers into the forest, but was frightened to death by a tiger, those private soldiers robbed the territory, and then all fled, in that direction, that's where I wandered over from."
"That's it, then you guys pack up and pack your things."
Siegfried nodded: "Follow us and lead the way—by the way, I'm talking about all of you."
Chapter 630 IX The Unlucky Viscount
Viscount Chuckles, a guy who was unlucky and became a laughing stock among the nobles. Speaking of blood, the Chuckles family had a good time back then, or every noble family had a good time before. At that time, otherwise, they would not have become nobles. However, if there is glory, there will also be decline. A certain generation of nobles in the Chuckles family did not stand in the right position when the throne was replaced, and the title was directly transferred to the viscount.
Getting a viscount is just a trivial matter, and the territory of the Chuckles family was directly thrown to the border of the kingdom, adjacent to the Nightmare Plain, a small territory, but as a member of the high-level power group, as long as it is peaceful Bullying the people, honestly bullying men and women, and living a better life than [-]% is nothing more than an easy thing.
Viscount Chuckles, who had passed away from heaven, obviously had a problem with his head. One day, he read the glorious deeds of his ancestors, and suddenly his ambition was born from his heart. After three days of special training by the knights around him, Chuckels The viscount decided to hunt a wild wolf to show his bravery like his first-generation ancestors did, and let others see the glory of the family.
So he picked up his twenty-odd private soldiers, brought guard knights, and rushed into the forest with great momentum, preparing to stage a scene where the viscount captured and killed a wolf—then he was frightened to death by a tiger he met by chance.
The private soldiers and knights are all confused. There is no danger for them to enter the mountains and forests. After all, human beings in this world are born with a special power called magic power. Cold weapons are not afraid of hordes of beasts, not to mention there is a knight here, even if it is a tiger that jumps out, it is definitely not his opponent.
It's just that no one expected that the mighty Viscount was scared to death by the tiger!
Killing the tiger and bringing the viscount's body back to the territory is a great change. The knight leads his horse and leaves with his sword. He has no worries about finding a good job. The servant of the castle After raiding the viscount's castle, he also slipped away. The private soldiers took a step back, whispered to each other, turned around and robbed the territory openly, and then slipped away.
stay?What are you doing here?Do you drink Mistral?
It happened that winter was approaching, and except for a small number of people in the territory, many people started to wander. Whether they went to other territories or became refugees, they had to find a way to survive. Xina's parents were She was killed during the looting by private soldiers, and then the little girl became a refugee until she met the refugee group managed by Cogne not long ago.
As a group creature, it is extremely difficult for human beings to survive alone in this environment, so even refugees will spontaneously gather into small groups and hold together to keep warm and perform wilderness survival. However, due to the independence of people, refugee groups generally interact with each other. The relationship between them is just like that, and it is normal to even be wary of each other. The reason why they gather into a group is just for peace of mind.
It would be different if there was a leader, and Cogne was that leader. This middle-aged man obviously had the ability to manage people, which made the loose refugee group appear united and orderly. Under the division of labor between each other, this refugee group was It has gradually stabilized. If you are lucky enough to develop slowly, you may be able to build a village and gradually settle down and return to order.
According to what he said, he used to be an overseer in charge of slave mining in an aristocratic territory, so he has a little experience in management. As for why he became a refugee from a "high class" in the eyes of a commoner, Cogne avoided it. Tan, obviously a middle-aged man with a story.
Siegfried likes this kind of people with stories. He patted the other person's shoulder happily. The middle-aged man coughed several times and rubbed his shoulders with grinning teeth. Then he whispered the reason, one day the Lord When he was away, the lord's wife wanted to crown the lord as king with him.
reason?Of course it's not because of love, but because of physical desire and stimulation. In short, he just has nothing to do when he's full. Obviously, Cogne has no choice but to agree?I'm afraid I'll be cold before the lord comes back, promise?There is no day when things don't leak, and I will still be cold by then, as for the lord's wife?The opponent is a nobleman!A nobleman married to a lord!And I am a commoner who still counts on his head to eat!
I'm afraid that after not being a lust release device and a rich woman's pleasure object, I will also be a fire release device and a blame man.
This shrewd and flexible overseer used his brains and decisively dyed the top of the lord's head into a green grassland. Then, while the lord's wife was sleeping soundly, the overseer with a backache and backache showed his strong mobility. Pack up your things and escape from the territory, and start your life in exile...
"Anyway, this lord..."
Cogne said cautiously, "Well, where are you taking us?"
"What kind of Chuckels collar is that?" Siegfried said naturally, "Don't ask so many questions, it's for your own good to take you away."
Kogne nodded with a bitter face, feeling that Siegfried had something to say, so he couldn't help making another request carefully: "That... my lord, can you give me... no, no, no, give us a little time, let's collect Food, if we walk from here to Chuckles Territory, our magic power will not last."
Kallen, who was talking to Ji Zi about the information she had heard before, turned her head and looked at Siegfried: "Well, give them something to eat? It seems that some people can't hold it."
"Well... yes, anyway, with my ability, it won't take much effort."
Siegfried nodded and agreed. After checking the physiological functions of Cogne's body to prevent food poisoning, Siegfried prepared a pot of chowder for these people on the spot, and Leiden Mei was there to help. Siegfried squeezed out the ingredients and threw them into the pot. The process of heating Jizi with the Xuanyuan sword was utterly lacking in cooking skills.
The others didn't know what happened, anyway, Kogne and Xina watched Siegfried grab a handful of dirt on the ground and throw a stone into the cauldron, their faces were pale.
Afterwards, it was obviously really delicious. After all, I was too hungry. In line with the idea that they are all salted fish under the knife of others, and I need to do these things in a fancy way, even if I saw how Siegfried made a mess with my own eyes. The refugees in the big pot of chowder also drank diligently.
While exchanging information and opinions, Siegfried and the others led such a large group of refugees towards Chuckels Territory. However, it is still unknown whether it is called Chuckels Territory. Borderlands forget.
The Nightmare Plain, that is, the previous area with pitch-black soil, separated the Suhe Kingdom from the Beihan Empire, and the Free City State was located at the end of the Nightmare Plain, a force united by several small kingdoms.
That's all Kogne knows about the world situation. As for the details, it's not something he should care about or have the ability to care about. The civilians in this civilization are very pragmatic. In addition, communication between civilians depends on walking, and dialogue depends on shouting. It can be said that It's more primitive.
However, some of the stories passed down from generation to generation mentioned by Cogne reflect another life scene - a certain knight stands alone at the gate of the city to resist thousands of troops, a certain mage controls a legendary spell in the mage tower Blow up a mountain or something.
These are not legends, but real things. Those legends that seek to tap their own strength, have talent and luck, and form an army by one person have been widely circulated for hundreds of years. As for history, Cogne is not clear Well, he was just a supervisor before, so he didn't know about national affairs, history and politics.
In this civilization, the gap between the upper and lower levels is far greater than imagined. The common people have tried their best to survive. Except for some casual chatter and stories passed down from generation to generation, they don't think about other things. ——Because it's a nobleman's business, what does it have to do with me?It's better to think about whether you can eat the next meal today.
Siegfried insinuated and asked Kogne if there was anything about gods, such as churches and other organizations. After all, the main god had clearly detected the strange environment on the planet and those strange monsters, all of which came from the power of demigods.
For the vast majority of mortals, there is no difference between a demigod and a god.
Kogne was at a loss for this. He didn't even understand what Siegfried said about God. This word didn't appear in his cognition, so when Siegfried said it, he sounded like a transliteration unfamiliar vocabulary.
Then Siegfried explained in detail, such as the worship of nature. He used to see things like thunder and earthquakes and deified them as objects of worship, or there were some extremely powerful individuals who had a strong sense of their power. Worship or something...
Cogne asked cautiously, "Are you talking about a legend?"
After chatting for a few words, Siegfried waved his hand to end the topic. Come on, people in this civilization don't seem to have any beliefs, even the most primitive beliefs and worships, because they are born with the special energy of magic power, that is, they are born with It has the foundation to turn itself into an evolutionary tool and directly change reality.
Thunder is a powerful force, storms are a powerful force, and earthquakes are nothing but a powerful force. As long as you have talent and luck, you can create this phenomenon yourself, god?nonexistent.
A civilization that definitely has a relationship with demigods, but it is very likely to deny the existence of gods, because of the rapid metabolism of short-lived species, or because of other reasons?
A group of people continue to move forward...
……
……
After the death of Viscount Chuckles, a new unlucky lord came to the territory - being thrown to such a remote border, he must be an unlucky lord in various senses. Some civilians left in the territory were discussing the new lord .
