64.
The president of the Adventurers Association in the three districts is called Alva Kott.
He is a middle-aged man who is almost 50 years old. He grew up in this place since he was a child. He comes from a well-known family of adventurers in the local area. He has been doing activities for the first time since he was a teenager. For many years, I have never stopped taking risks.
Until more than ten years ago, after the massacre in the third district, the association had no choice but to take the responsibility of supporting the whole place instead of just maintaining the balance among adventurers.
As the chairman, he has less and less time for his own private activities. Until now, he has almost given up the ability to go out for adventure, and he can't return to the defeat of the third district and other issues.
His aspirations are not here, and his talents are not here. Although he has some relevant levels and a little vision that can be used, he doesn't like these himself.
As an adventurer, he is actually the same as others. He has a feeling of restlessness in the present. He naturally wants to explore and discover. It is the enemy who has a solid desire to conquer.
He doesn't want to manage a place at all, even if it is a lord, if he can choose, he is not willing to accept it.
He doesn't like to do anything conservative, and now he has to go through these things, and even get trapped or tied to death in the third district because of these chores.
Alva sometimes wonders if he can go to Beishan again in his lifetime, climb over mountains and mountains, and go to the Northland for a gorgeous adventure, or go to the place that all adventurers call holy land, go to the forest Go deeper to find more possibilities and opportunities.
But he also knew in his heart that this was almost impossible.
His age is here, and he has already lost his best and most prosperous period. His physical fitness is indeed not as good as that of young people. If he wants to lead a team or go out with the team to take risks, he must be cautious and cautious, and his experience is also due to his age. Years of consumption and appear not so full.
The most important thing is that the current three districts do not have similar conditions.
To put it bluntly, in the current three districts, no one will go further into the depths of Beishan, and no one will think of going over or passing through Beishan to reach Beiguo in search of new opportunities.
The past glory, only a few decades, seems to have become some kind of legendary existence.
It can only become a memorable topic of conversation in the mouths of some old adventurers. Not only do there not so many powerful and brave adventurers with elite qualities gathered in the current three districts, but there is also no one suitable for such high-intensity, long-distance, Extremely complex adventure conditions.
There is not enough material replenishment, not enough information sharing, no relevant intelligence dealers, no suitable resources to fill, and no logistical support.
Here, it is no longer the time when he was young, or when he was a child, he could just call out on the road, or go to the Adventurers Association to find teammates, and he could find a group of very elite adventurers to join him.
Although, at that time, everyone usually formed a team with acquaintances. After all, there were still risks when strangers were together.
However, relatively speaking, this incident has already shown that even a random passerby on the road at that time had good adventurer qualities and considerable experience.
At that time, as a ten-year-old child, he may have already participated in many large-scale adventure activities.
Not to mention fighting monsters or other dangerous creatures, identifying herbs, picking fruits, etc., there are really countless skills.
And now, how many children have actually experienced adventure activities?
It seems that the "adventure of the brave" once praised by everyone has become an extremely distant thing...
Adventure travel is no longer a commendable thing, and even the vigor and invincible courage in the bones are gradually worn down.
Alva didn't know how long he could hold on to the last breath in his heart.
He is now entangled with these trivial things every day, if he was young, he would have just left him alone and started his journey directly to hide in the forest.
But now, he was thinking about the snow disaster from morning till night.
From the moment he saw the blizzard falling, he had an ominous premonition.
After all, he was someone who had once traveled across the mountains to the North Country. He knew very well what the wind and snow were like in the North Country and the top of the North Mountain.
At that time, he had a feeling that this should be from the north——
Maybe it is really a snow demon or other related alien creatures making trouble.
After staying in the third district and Oran for so long, his perception of the weather is relatively accurate.
If it is not precise enough, how can it be possible to carry out adventure activities in a dangerous and unfamiliar forest or other places?
Weather has always been an important factor affecting adventure activities.
Alva knew in his heart that something was going to happen. His first reaction at that time was that the orcs living in some tents on the outskirts of the city might be in trouble, and then he started to have a headache.
Of course he is aware of the friction between the two big forces, and he has been working hard to suppress it.
The Heart of the Brave team is no longer as pure as it was in the beginning.
The name of the team sounds nice, and at the very beginning, it was indeed a team of adventurers gathered by elites.
At the beginning, there were only two teams. It doesn’t seem like it has grown to twelve teams. The first two teams are at a real level. He is also familiar with the captain, and he even worked together on missions. He also understands the character. That uncle Victor even took care of him when he was young.
However, it is the little Victor brother who is not so good.
As the old head of the group, Victor has two sons. The eldest son, Victor, is a man with a violent temper, and the youngest son, Victor, is a man who is not very "open and aboveboard".
Neither of the two brothers had inherited the bravery and integrity of the old leader Victor, but they did not use their strength to go on the right path.
The two of them are the ones who have worked hard to expand the team of the Heart of the Brave. Under the leadership of the two of them, after the chaos, they annexed many small local mercenaries and adventurer teams, and even fought against I lost a veteran team and gnawed off a large piece of meat, causing that team to be in a very decadent state until now.
As a change, from the initial size of only two teams, the Heart of the Brave has gradually become six, and after taking in some retail adventurers, it has now become twelve teams.
The old Victor couldn't stand it anymore, and managed the last time, which was also an explanation to his brothers who followed him - he couldn't manage his sons anymore, he was already old, over 70 years old, and his actions were not smooth Yes, even though I have taken care of Alva and others.
He reorganized the team once and put some old people into two teams, that is, the second team and the third team. The fourth team and the fifth team are groups of relatives and friends of these people. The do-it-yourselfer in the “neutral” position.
But the rest, such as the first team where the two brothers belonged, and from the sixth team to the twelfth team, are all the personal guards of the two brothers, or something similar to the personal guards.
The first to sixth teams are indeed teams with good combat effectiveness, but the rest are uncertain. After all, they were arranged during the large-scale expansion of recruitment later on. .
In the past, when the old people formed a team of adventurers, they basically followed the standards of the brave. People who were unkind, cruel, bloodthirsty, and ruthless were not very fond of recruiting into the team.
This kind of people, either formed a team by themselves, or were lone rangers, but the two brothers just joined the formation in order to recruit some of these people with certain strengths.
In the process of expansion, it is inevitable that there will be some friction, whether it is the right to speak or the camp.
Gradually, their discrimination against orcs became more and more serious. It may be that the two brothers themselves looked down on the group of orc adventurers. Coupled with the conflict of interests, the conflict between the Beast King team and the Heart of the Brave became more and more serious. big.
In the past, Alva, as the president, was able to adjust the two sides a little bit.
But now, as he got older, and there were more and more things in the territory, the sexiness caused by this kind of friction became more and more serious.
Alva always felt that sooner or later, a terrible internal struggle would break out here.
The Victor Brothers have other ambitions. They also want to engage in human supremacy, discrimination and suppression, and racial antagonism. They also want to expand, and even gain some political power and so on.
Now Alva can take care of it anyway, but the snowstorm exposed the problem.
He also didn't expect that Brother Victor would be stuck directly, clearly trying to drive those orcs to a dead end.
It's not a good sign--
Alva has been worried about this, but the snowstorm lasted for several days, and the stalemate lasted for several days.
Although there is less snow behind, the damage has already been done.
A group of people are waiting to eat.
When he was worried, a clever young man came to find him.
"The lord is looking for me?!" Alva was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Is that the Grand Duchess of Oran?!"
"Yes!" Jack nodded, "It's our lord, Her Royal Highness Grand Duke Anastasia."
"Our lord wants to meet you, just to ask a few words. If it's convenient for you, you can come with me, oh yes..." After all, Jack followed Anna to see the world, although he was very excited to see the president of the Adventurer's Association , but he still restrained his expression.
"Are you free now? Just pack lightly." Jack hinted.
Although he felt that more than a dozen adventurers could not defeat one of their lords, and he had indeed seen their lord overthrow the entire territory guard by himself, but due to various considerations such as the majesty of the lord, some things that should not be brought It shouldn't exist, and the etiquette that should be in place should also be in place.
"It's for this time..." Alva had a little guess in his heart, and he didn't expect that someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep. He always had an adventurer's optimism in his heart.
"...A snowstorm?"
"I don't know that."
Although Jack talked a lot, he would never say a word that shouldn't be said.
Following the staff of the lord's mansion, especially the smart and capable clerk and the powerful and brave lord, he has seen a lot, so he naturally has a little bit of ability to keep up.
He is smart and has ideas. Not only is he quick-witted, but he is also more humane. Otherwise, he would not have been the person in the territory who has been telling everyone and explaining the relevant rules. He knows what to say and what not to say.
Alva is very familiar with every household in the third district.
When he was taken to Stephanie's house, he was still somewhat puzzled.
He had heard that Stephanie's family, the wife and the little girl had been taken elsewhere.
I heard that the old Stephanie found a good way out in the first district, so she took the two juniors directly to the other side to live a good life.
But what he didn't expect was that their family was on the way of the legendary young lord.
As a local lord, Anna naturally has her own "legend".
Unlike Master Wade and others who have been secretly observing her in the second district, the people in the third district know relatively little about her.
The paths of adventurers are often different from those of others.
The third district is not an attractive place. Even if everyone is looking for a job, they all go to the second district. Even the people in the third district went to the second district before. They don't know much about the first district.
For adventurers, who is the ruler here is not so important——
Of course, even the forest and so on now belong to the new lord, and they may change the rules or something if they want to carry out adventure activities.
But because no one has managed it for too long, everyone consciously ignores this.
After the lord arrived in Oran for a long time, and he didn't visit the third district, everyone felt that maybe the lord didn't think much of the third district.
In fact, the people in the three districts themselves know what kind of place they are here, and everyone has a ruler in their hearts.
If it is not possible to rely only on adventurers to eat, many people just walk as long as they can, and there is no convenience in living in the second district.
Today's young people don't like to talk about the ideals of adventurers anymore, maybe it's different from generation to generation?
"Are you the president of the Adventurer's Association here?"
Anna spoke, and Alva locked it with a glance.
Although Alva is not a young middle-aged man, he seems to be in good spirits, with a straight figure and a kind of blood that has experienced many "events".
Of course, compared to the "rough" feeling of other adventurers, he looks a little more refined, perhaps because he has been "trained" for such a long time.
"Hello, my lord."
Alva spoke very cautiously.
Anna didn't mean to be polite. After letting him sit down, she directly asked about the situation in the third district.
Alva also likes this kind of direct communication. Although he has some doubts about the lord's youthful appearance and is always worried that the other party is not reliable enough, since the other party asked, he will not deliberately ambiguous.
Alva has such a temperament, and he doesn't deliberately engage in such twists and turns.
This is also the reason why he doesn't like the Victor brothers much including their means.
"I probably know."
Anna nodded and motioned for him to drink tea.
Alva told her a lot of news about the third district.
The most important thing is about the snow disaster. He has indeed done a lot of understanding and investigation.
In the inventory of the association, that is, the winter storage that the Beast King and the Heart of the Brave are competing for, there are actually not many.
There are only twenty sacks of wheat, thirty sacks of potatoes, and some cotton clothing, tent supplies, etc. It seems like a lot, but in fact, it is not enough whether it is given to humans or orcs, even if it is counted by the association. Those materials that I didn't know if they could be used earlier were definitely not enough.
"Can't you hold it at all?" Anna frowned.
"Yes." Alva nodded affirmatively, "To tell you the truth, people here are not very rich. Generally speaking, a family of three can have a bag of wheat as food during the winter. It's pretty good."
"We spend the winter here, and most of the families rely on hard work, especially the orcs. Most of them only have the only pillar, the one who works hard, can eat enough, and the same is true for many ordinary human families."
"Then your winter is..." Anna couldn't believe it.
"Yes, to tell you the truth, there are people who can't survive every year... However, when the heavy snow is not so severe, that is, when the weather is good in winter, basically most people will still go to the woods to hunt or find food Habits...such as digging grass roots, or if you are lucky, you can find a hibernating animal nest or a rabbit hole or something..."
"Orcs have a big advantage in this aspect. It is easier than humans to find food in winter, especially hunting, so they don't have such...good habits. They don't store it very much. Even if they store it, it is based on the habit of some orcs to give birth. Said, with so many people in a family, it is impossible to save too much rations at ordinary times."
"I understand, it means habitually..." Anna sighed.
"Even though you advertise the need to stockpile food, in fact there are not many people who have enough food, especially the orcs... Even if they have saved, they have to rely on continuing to find food in order to ensure that they can eat enough."
"That's right," Alva nodded, "Now that the snowstorm is coming, not only is there a shortage of food, but also supplies... Their tents were directly destroyed, and the roofs of some human houses also leaked, and several houses collapsed. In terms of housing and food, it is not easy to find food in such a road condition and weather."
"Afterwards, there should be no more large-scale snowstorms like before."
Anna pointed her finger at the table and began to calculate.
Hearing this, Alva frowned slightly.
"what do you mean……?"
"In the previous blizzard, the Ice Queen was looking for a lost and damaged dark object, and I haven't found it yet, but I have tried to talk to her and promised to help her find it in the Oran area."
"Other unoccupied places are fine, but they seem to be inhabited. District [-], District [-] and District [-] will definitely not let her rummage around, otherwise the blizzard here will not stop, and there are no people in other places. It’s just that it’s snowing for her.”
"Ah..." Alva showed a slightly surprised expression. What Anna said just matched the facts. Although it was unbelievable, it seemed that their lord was very powerful.
"I hope that the third district can be taken over by me honestly," Anna directly said and asked, "I will take care of it, so everyone here, regardless of race, I can be responsible for the reconstruction after the snow disaster, including food relief. "
Alva didn't mind at all, but his eyes lit up.
He didn't want to take care of it for a long time, but now a lord who seems to be a bit capable said that he would take over this place that was a mess for him——
"Great!" he said in surprise.
Anna paused and had to look at him in surprise.

Description: A middle-aged adventurer who always has the spirit of a brave man and an adventurer. The brave adventurer still has the desire to walk the path of an adventurer once again, reach the Northland, and open up a road from Oran three districts. The road of adventurers to the Northlands through the forests and North Mountains.He has always worried that his age and objective conditions will not allow such an adventure, but now he seems to have found a glimmer of hope.
"alright, I got it."
Anna thought.
It turns out that the person in front of him has such a mind, no wonder he is so eager to try.
Because I understand a part of it, and then I have a different feeling when I look at it again.
Anna needs to obtain the management rights of the territory of the three districts, and the other party just does not want to continue to be trapped by this mess.
She doesn't mind helping the other party's ideals. It is inevitable that the territory of the three districts also needs to revive some of its original glory. To a large extent, it needs such excellent and brave adventurers to open up new glory little by little. .
If Anna wants to do better than before, she must break the already solidified rotation here.
She can directly suppress it by force, but she only has one person, and she always needs someone to be her subordinate to take over these tasks. The trouble is, she only has one person.
"Meow--"
At this moment, the kitten's tail brushed her hand.
When Anna looked back, the pure white kitten was looking at her innocently.
Anna stretched out her hand to rub it, but the innocent kitten hid away again.
It seemed that the person who deliberately seduced her with his tail just now was not this little cat.
"No, you are too bad...?"
Anna deliberately reached out and grabbed the back of his neck.
"You don't want me to touch it?" Anna laughed, and deliberately rubbed him several times. Cat's Claw has been trying to resist, but the effect is minimal.
"After listening for a long time, did you hear anything?"
Anna asked him deliberately.
She asked President Alva to gather the leaders of both sides, that is, the leaders of the Heart of the Brave and the Beast King, to negotiate.
She will give new territory norms.
If the other party agrees honestly, then everything is easy to talk about, restrain their subordinates, obey those who should be obedient, discipline those who should be disciplined, and those who do not obey the rules will act in accordance with the laws and regulations of her territory.
After that, she will definitely give all the subsidies as soon as possible. Their difficulties are only temporary, and for her, the lord, it is not the biggest problem.
If the other party has other fantasies, he wants to show one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, especially if he wants to mess with her behind the scenes, or compete with her for some rights.
Then Anna will definitely not be soft-hearted, she can overthrow all the guys in this team by herself, although it will be a waste of time.
If she hadn't been short-handed—
There's no need to be so troublesome.
"Let's stay overnight." Anna said to Stephanie and the others, "I've written a letter and sent it back, they will understand, and I will ask Cinderella to prepare related materials, and then Dorothy and the others Escorted here."
"It just so happens that the fragments on the territory of the first area are almost found, and it's time to change places." Anna laughed.
"I don't think Dorothy and the others would mind visiting a new place."
Dorothy and the others were not so content in one corner.
They love adventure, and they have this adventurous spirit in their bones, especially Dorothy, who is always brave and likes all kinds of challenges.
At the beginning, there were still some burdens, such as having to find a way to go home, etc., but after all the problems were solved, she didn't worry about other messy things at all.
She began to enjoy adventure, enjoying all the activities, especially seeing around in strange worlds and learning about different things.
And for her, this was just such a place.
Being a patrol officer is of course very good, and she doesn't mind "going on a business trip" occasionally to see different scenery and learn more about the world and the vast place of Oran.
"understood."
Stephanie responded.
This has been mentioned before, and it may take more than one day. It is actually expected to stay for one night, but at the beginning, I didn't think about living in Stephanie's original home.
In addition, after seeing the situation here, Stephanie was especially worried about her neighbors and friends, and it was even more impossible for her to leave as if nothing had happened.
She had a good life herself, but she couldn't forget the people who helped her.
Anyway, she is also the real mother of Little Red Riding Hood, and she is not a vicious stepmother villain, but she is also a pure, kind and upright person.
"Hey, I didn't expect it to become like this..."
At night, the suburbs were still noisy.
Anna heard the voice of Stephanie and others talking downstairs, and it seemed that many people were still awake.
She lived alone in Little Red Riding Hood's room, on the second floor, and she couldn't sleep, looking out the window.
Sure enough, with her excellent eyesight, Anna could clearly see that there were some flames in the suburbs, but she didn't know what they were.
It wasn't quiet here either. The entire village in the third district was not in the quiet and sleeping atmosphere that it should have, but seemed restless.
It is said that there was a conflict between orcs and humans.
It is also said that some people didn't know they were beastmen, so they couldn't help it, so they went to "rush" the warehouse.
It is also said that there was a fight or a robbery in which one, or there was a personal enmity in the first place, which is even more contradictory.
They were originally a group of bloody adventurers, but with the intensification of the contradictions caused by the snowstorm, the situation became even more depressing.
"Meow--"
The cat jumped on her shoulder, then climbed on top of her head.
"You'd better come down..." Anna stretched out her hand expressionlessly. She thought she couldn't pull it off, but she didn't expect the kitten to be in her arms so obediently this time.
"Are you worried too?"
It seems that this innocent little cat is also very worried about the situation of the orcs in the suburbs.
Anna pursed her lips, thought for a while, and took the initiative to put the cat aside.
"Forget it, I'm still a little concerned. I might not be able to see the first-hand situation when I find someone tomorrow, so I'd better put on my beloved night clothes..."
The kitten didn't react at first, but when Anna pulled the curtains and took off her pajamas, he didn't get furry, turned around, buried his head under his paws obediently, and closed his eyes.
Anna didn't notice him at all and changed quickly.
It's time for her night visit again.
After changing her clothes, she just opened the window when the cold wind from outside poured in. Anna shivered a bit, and quickly re-equipped herself with a lot of props to ensure that her attributes were strong enough to withstand the cold, before stepping out of the window.
The next second, the cat swished into her arms.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Anna wanted to get it off and put it back in the house, but she didn't expect this cunning little cat to grab her clothes again with its paws, its small eyes seemed a little determined.
"Are you sure?" Anna frowned, but she didn't insist anymore, mainly because after the day's events, she had already found that this kitten was very disobedient and stubborn in many places.
"Okay... let's not take this as an example."
Anna compromises and reminds him:
"Don't bark, remember to stay by my side, don't run around, don't attract attention, or you will become a dirty, smelly, ugly kitten."
What responded to her was the kitten's pink paw, which pressed against her side cheek, but fortunately, it didn't stretch out its paw.
Anna went to the place where the leader of the orc king probably lived.
It seems that this is also one of the most noisy places.
At the closest point to the quarrel, Anna stopped, hid in the shadows, and listened for a while.
Those orcs seem to be hyenas, leopard cats and the like, and they still have tails or ears, just like Miss Rabbit Judy. Retaining some animal characteristics seems to be relatively common among orcs, and only a very small number of them can become fully human. look.
They were talking about food. There were probably four or five houses here, and two of them had their tents completely collapsed. In addition, part of the food was blown away by the storm, especially the rice noodles.
There is still a little meat, but there are four or five children in the family, let alone adults, there is not enough for the children to share.
They were the ones who had a big quarrel before, but there were not a few families in their situation.
The leader of the Beastman King, the second brother Cheetah, has divided up all the things in the Beastman King's adventurer team.
But inside the Beast King, there are hundreds of adventurers, and some of them are adventurers with their families.
That is to say, in this cluster, there are less than [-] adventurers and at least [-] to [-] family members, and a little inventory is not enough to digest.
Now, some of them save resources for heating by gathering children together, while others are desperately trying to find food.
In fact, many of them don't trust the human side, nor do they think that the president of the association can distribute food to them, so some of the orcs plan to "risk their lives" to find food in the forest or even in the North Mountain.
There are also monsters in the forest here, and there are even a lot of them. Most of the dangers come from here.
The influence of the snow has not been eliminated, and the monsters themselves are not too affected by the heavy snow. On the contrary, because of the shortage of food, the monsters may become more irritable and aggressive.
Entering the mountain at this time is a very "unreasonable" decision.
But there is no way, they don't expect other help, and they don't think they can get anything. In order to prevent the ethnic group and their children from dying in this disaster, they must risk their lives...
"Are you worried?" Anna asked quietly.
She felt the kitten pulling her in her arms, but as soon as she lowered her head, he looked at her with cute and beautiful big blue eyes, as if it was a silent expression.
"Then please please me, and I'll go find their leader right away."
Anna was actually just saying it casually, but she never expected that this little cat seemed to understand what she meant.
The kitten in her arms stared at her for a second or two. Just when she was about to give up, the kitten stretched out its head and rubbed against her minibus.
When she was surprised, the little cat took the initiative to rub her arm again.
Anna put her palm aside on purpose, and the little cat didn't hesitate for half a second, and then took the initiative to put her beautiful little head on it, and let her rub her chin.
This time, Anna was really surprised.
"Wow." She masturbated heartily.
The kitten had never been so easy to talk to before.
After playing like this for a few minutes, you can still vaguely hear some orcs' anxious, uneasy or angry, forbearing voices.
The little cat probably felt that it was almost done, so it stared at her again with eyes as clear as jewels, as if waiting for her to express something.
Anna chuckled and rubbed his little head again.
"Unexpected... stay in my arms, don't fall behind."
"Let's go, let's go to their leader."
Anna didn't know about the acceptance of the Beast King, but sneaking into their gathering place was not difficult for her.
Out of experience considerations, she specially sprayed some special magic potions on her body, which can reduce or even hide her smell to a certain extent. After all, many orcs have an overly sensitive sense of smell, and "concealment" alone may not be useful.
Maybe it was because she was holding a kitten on her body at the same time, she smelled like a cat, and she sneaked in very smoothly.
The divisions here are also very clear, probably around the periphery, they are all combat divisions, and there are two in the center. Anna went to one of them, and saw a tent after a tent. Crowd together to keep warm.
One of the litters, presumably housed herbivorous orc pups.
Several cubs with rabbit ears, including a cat ear, huddled together.
Halfway through sleeping, the straw felt too cold on their bodies, so they could only rub against each other, making cute cub whimpers, and then continued to huddle together. Most of them didn't have winter clothes to keep them warm.
The president of the Adventurers Association in the three districts is called Alva Kott.
He is a middle-aged man who is almost 50 years old. He grew up in this place since he was a child. He comes from a well-known family of adventurers in the local area. He has been doing activities for the first time since he was a teenager. For many years, I have never stopped taking risks.
Until more than ten years ago, after the massacre in the third district, the association had no choice but to take the responsibility of supporting the whole place instead of just maintaining the balance among adventurers.
As the chairman, he has less and less time for his own private activities. Until now, he has almost given up the ability to go out for adventure, and he can't return to the defeat of the third district and other issues.
His aspirations are not here, and his talents are not here. Although he has some relevant levels and a little vision that can be used, he doesn't like these himself.
As an adventurer, he is actually the same as others. He has a feeling of restlessness in the present. He naturally wants to explore and discover. It is the enemy who has a solid desire to conquer.
He doesn't want to manage a place at all, even if it is a lord, if he can choose, he is not willing to accept it.
He doesn't like to do anything conservative, and now he has to go through these things, and even get trapped or tied to death in the third district because of these chores.
Alva sometimes wonders if he can go to Beishan again in his lifetime, climb over mountains and mountains, and go to the Northland for a gorgeous adventure, or go to the place that all adventurers call holy land, go to the forest Go deeper to find more possibilities and opportunities.
But he also knew in his heart that this was almost impossible.
His age is here, and he has already lost his best and most prosperous period. His physical fitness is indeed not as good as that of young people. If he wants to lead a team or go out with the team to take risks, he must be cautious and cautious, and his experience is also due to his age. Years of consumption and appear not so full.
The most important thing is that the current three districts do not have similar conditions.
To put it bluntly, in the current three districts, no one will go further into the depths of Beishan, and no one will think of going over or passing through Beishan to reach Beiguo in search of new opportunities.
The past glory, only a few decades, seems to have become some kind of legendary existence.
It can only become a memorable topic of conversation in the mouths of some old adventurers. Not only do there not so many powerful and brave adventurers with elite qualities gathered in the current three districts, but there is also no one suitable for such high-intensity, long-distance, Extremely complex adventure conditions.
There is not enough material replenishment, not enough information sharing, no relevant intelligence dealers, no suitable resources to fill, and no logistical support.
Here, it is no longer the time when he was young, or when he was a child, he could just call out on the road, or go to the Adventurers Association to find teammates, and he could find a group of very elite adventurers to join him.
Although, at that time, everyone usually formed a team with acquaintances. After all, there were still risks when strangers were together.
However, relatively speaking, this incident has already shown that even a random passerby on the road at that time had good adventurer qualities and considerable experience.
At that time, as a ten-year-old child, he may have already participated in many large-scale adventure activities.
Not to mention fighting monsters or other dangerous creatures, identifying herbs, picking fruits, etc., there are really countless skills.
And now, how many children have actually experienced adventure activities?
It seems that the "adventure of the brave" once praised by everyone has become an extremely distant thing...
Adventure travel is no longer a commendable thing, and even the vigor and invincible courage in the bones are gradually worn down.
Alva didn't know how long he could hold on to the last breath in his heart.
He is now entangled with these trivial things every day, if he was young, he would have just left him alone and started his journey directly to hide in the forest.
But now, he was thinking about the snow disaster from morning till night.
From the moment he saw the blizzard falling, he had an ominous premonition.
After all, he was someone who had once traveled across the mountains to the North Country. He knew very well what the wind and snow were like in the North Country and the top of the North Mountain.
At that time, he had a feeling that this should be from the north——
Maybe it is really a snow demon or other related alien creatures making trouble.
After staying in the third district and Oran for so long, his perception of the weather is relatively accurate.
If it is not precise enough, how can it be possible to carry out adventure activities in a dangerous and unfamiliar forest or other places?
Weather has always been an important factor affecting adventure activities.
Alva knew in his heart that something was going to happen. His first reaction at that time was that the orcs living in some tents on the outskirts of the city might be in trouble, and then he started to have a headache.
Of course he is aware of the friction between the two big forces, and he has been working hard to suppress it.
The Heart of the Brave team is no longer as pure as it was in the beginning.
The name of the team sounds nice, and at the very beginning, it was indeed a team of adventurers gathered by elites.
At the beginning, there were only two teams. It doesn’t seem like it has grown to twelve teams. The first two teams are at a real level. He is also familiar with the captain, and he even worked together on missions. He also understands the character. That uncle Victor even took care of him when he was young.
However, it is the little Victor brother who is not so good.
As the old head of the group, Victor has two sons. The eldest son, Victor, is a man with a violent temper, and the youngest son, Victor, is a man who is not very "open and aboveboard".
Neither of the two brothers had inherited the bravery and integrity of the old leader Victor, but they did not use their strength to go on the right path.
The two of them are the ones who have worked hard to expand the team of the Heart of the Brave. Under the leadership of the two of them, after the chaos, they annexed many small local mercenaries and adventurer teams, and even fought against I lost a veteran team and gnawed off a large piece of meat, causing that team to be in a very decadent state until now.
As a change, from the initial size of only two teams, the Heart of the Brave has gradually become six, and after taking in some retail adventurers, it has now become twelve teams.
The old Victor couldn't stand it anymore, and managed the last time, which was also an explanation to his brothers who followed him - he couldn't manage his sons anymore, he was already old, over 70 years old, and his actions were not smooth Yes, even though I have taken care of Alva and others.
He reorganized the team once and put some old people into two teams, that is, the second team and the third team. The fourth team and the fifth team are groups of relatives and friends of these people. The do-it-yourselfer in the “neutral” position.
But the rest, such as the first team where the two brothers belonged, and from the sixth team to the twelfth team, are all the personal guards of the two brothers, or something similar to the personal guards.
The first to sixth teams are indeed teams with good combat effectiveness, but the rest are uncertain. After all, they were arranged during the large-scale expansion of recruitment later on. .
In the past, when the old people formed a team of adventurers, they basically followed the standards of the brave. People who were unkind, cruel, bloodthirsty, and ruthless were not very fond of recruiting into the team.
This kind of people, either formed a team by themselves, or were lone rangers, but the two brothers just joined the formation in order to recruit some of these people with certain strengths.
In the process of expansion, it is inevitable that there will be some friction, whether it is the right to speak or the camp.
Gradually, their discrimination against orcs became more and more serious. It may be that the two brothers themselves looked down on the group of orc adventurers. Coupled with the conflict of interests, the conflict between the Beast King team and the Heart of the Brave became more and more serious. big.
In the past, Alva, as the president, was able to adjust the two sides a little bit.
But now, as he got older, and there were more and more things in the territory, the sexiness caused by this kind of friction became more and more serious.
Alva always felt that sooner or later, a terrible internal struggle would break out here.
The Victor Brothers have other ambitions. They also want to engage in human supremacy, discrimination and suppression, and racial antagonism. They also want to expand, and even gain some political power and so on.
Now Alva can take care of it anyway, but the snowstorm exposed the problem.
He also didn't expect that Brother Victor would be stuck directly, clearly trying to drive those orcs to a dead end.
It's not a good sign--
Alva has been worried about this, but the snowstorm lasted for several days, and the stalemate lasted for several days.
Although there is less snow behind, the damage has already been done.
A group of people are waiting to eat.
When he was worried, a clever young man came to find him.
"The lord is looking for me?!" Alva was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Is that the Grand Duchess of Oran?!"
"Yes!" Jack nodded, "It's our lord, Her Royal Highness Grand Duke Anastasia."
"Our lord wants to meet you, just to ask a few words. If it's convenient for you, you can come with me, oh yes..." After all, Jack followed Anna to see the world, although he was very excited to see the president of the Adventurer's Association , but he still restrained his expression.
"Are you free now? Just pack lightly." Jack hinted.
Although he felt that more than a dozen adventurers could not defeat one of their lords, and he had indeed seen their lord overthrow the entire territory guard by himself, but due to various considerations such as the majesty of the lord, some things that should not be brought It shouldn't exist, and the etiquette that should be in place should also be in place.
"It's for this time..." Alva had a little guess in his heart, and he didn't expect that someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep. He always had an adventurer's optimism in his heart.
"...A snowstorm?"
"I don't know that."
Although Jack talked a lot, he would never say a word that shouldn't be said.
Following the staff of the lord's mansion, especially the smart and capable clerk and the powerful and brave lord, he has seen a lot, so he naturally has a little bit of ability to keep up.
He is smart and has ideas. Not only is he quick-witted, but he is also more humane. Otherwise, he would not have been the person in the territory who has been telling everyone and explaining the relevant rules. He knows what to say and what not to say.
Alva is very familiar with every household in the third district.
When he was taken to Stephanie's house, he was still somewhat puzzled.
He had heard that Stephanie's family, the wife and the little girl had been taken elsewhere.
I heard that the old Stephanie found a good way out in the first district, so she took the two juniors directly to the other side to live a good life.
But what he didn't expect was that their family was on the way of the legendary young lord.
As a local lord, Anna naturally has her own "legend".
Unlike Master Wade and others who have been secretly observing her in the second district, the people in the third district know relatively little about her.
The paths of adventurers are often different from those of others.
The third district is not an attractive place. Even if everyone is looking for a job, they all go to the second district. Even the people in the third district went to the second district before. They don't know much about the first district.
For adventurers, who is the ruler here is not so important——
Of course, even the forest and so on now belong to the new lord, and they may change the rules or something if they want to carry out adventure activities.
But because no one has managed it for too long, everyone consciously ignores this.
After the lord arrived in Oran for a long time, and he didn't visit the third district, everyone felt that maybe the lord didn't think much of the third district.
In fact, the people in the three districts themselves know what kind of place they are here, and everyone has a ruler in their hearts.
If it is not possible to rely only on adventurers to eat, many people just walk as long as they can, and there is no convenience in living in the second district.
Today's young people don't like to talk about the ideals of adventurers anymore, maybe it's different from generation to generation?
"Are you the president of the Adventurer's Association here?"
Anna spoke, and Alva locked it with a glance.
Although Alva is not a young middle-aged man, he seems to be in good spirits, with a straight figure and a kind of blood that has experienced many "events".
Of course, compared to the "rough" feeling of other adventurers, he looks a little more refined, perhaps because he has been "trained" for such a long time.
"Hello, my lord."
Alva spoke very cautiously.
Anna didn't mean to be polite. After letting him sit down, she directly asked about the situation in the third district.
Alva also likes this kind of direct communication. Although he has some doubts about the lord's youthful appearance and is always worried that the other party is not reliable enough, since the other party asked, he will not deliberately ambiguous.
Alva has such a temperament, and he doesn't deliberately engage in such twists and turns.
This is also the reason why he doesn't like the Victor brothers much including their means.
"I probably know."
Anna nodded and motioned for him to drink tea.
Alva told her a lot of news about the third district.
The most important thing is about the snow disaster. He has indeed done a lot of understanding and investigation.
In the inventory of the association, that is, the winter storage that the Beast King and the Heart of the Brave are competing for, there are actually not many.
There are only twenty sacks of wheat, thirty sacks of potatoes, and some cotton clothing, tent supplies, etc. It seems like a lot, but in fact, it is not enough whether it is given to humans or orcs, even if it is counted by the association. Those materials that I didn't know if they could be used earlier were definitely not enough.
"Can't you hold it at all?" Anna frowned.
"Yes." Alva nodded affirmatively, "To tell you the truth, people here are not very rich. Generally speaking, a family of three can have a bag of wheat as food during the winter. It's pretty good."
"We spend the winter here, and most of the families rely on hard work, especially the orcs. Most of them only have the only pillar, the one who works hard, can eat enough, and the same is true for many ordinary human families."
"Then your winter is..." Anna couldn't believe it.
"Yes, to tell you the truth, there are people who can't survive every year... However, when the heavy snow is not so severe, that is, when the weather is good in winter, basically most people will still go to the woods to hunt or find food Habits...such as digging grass roots, or if you are lucky, you can find a hibernating animal nest or a rabbit hole or something..."
"Orcs have a big advantage in this aspect. It is easier than humans to find food in winter, especially hunting, so they don't have such...good habits. They don't store it very much. Even if they store it, it is based on the habit of some orcs to give birth. Said, with so many people in a family, it is impossible to save too much rations at ordinary times."
"I understand, it means habitually..." Anna sighed.
"Even though you advertise the need to stockpile food, in fact there are not many people who have enough food, especially the orcs... Even if they have saved, they have to rely on continuing to find food in order to ensure that they can eat enough."
"That's right," Alva nodded, "Now that the snowstorm is coming, not only is there a shortage of food, but also supplies... Their tents were directly destroyed, and the roofs of some human houses also leaked, and several houses collapsed. In terms of housing and food, it is not easy to find food in such a road condition and weather."
"Afterwards, there should be no more large-scale snowstorms like before."
Anna pointed her finger at the table and began to calculate.
Hearing this, Alva frowned slightly.
"what do you mean……?"
"In the previous blizzard, the Ice Queen was looking for a lost and damaged dark object, and I haven't found it yet, but I have tried to talk to her and promised to help her find it in the Oran area."
"Other unoccupied places are fine, but they seem to be inhabited. District [-], District [-] and District [-] will definitely not let her rummage around, otherwise the blizzard here will not stop, and there are no people in other places. It’s just that it’s snowing for her.”
"Ah..." Alva showed a slightly surprised expression. What Anna said just matched the facts. Although it was unbelievable, it seemed that their lord was very powerful.
"I hope that the third district can be taken over by me honestly," Anna directly said and asked, "I will take care of it, so everyone here, regardless of race, I can be responsible for the reconstruction after the snow disaster, including food relief. "
Alva didn't mind at all, but his eyes lit up.
He didn't want to take care of it for a long time, but now a lord who seems to be a bit capable said that he would take over this place that was a mess for him——
"Great!" he said in surprise.
Anna paused and had to look at him in surprise.

Description: A middle-aged adventurer who always has the spirit of a brave man and an adventurer. The brave adventurer still has the desire to walk the path of an adventurer once again, reach the Northland, and open up a road from Oran three districts. The road of adventurers to the Northlands through the forests and North Mountains.He has always worried that his age and objective conditions will not allow such an adventure, but now he seems to have found a glimmer of hope.
"alright, I got it."
Anna thought.
It turns out that the person in front of him has such a mind, no wonder he is so eager to try.
Because I understand a part of it, and then I have a different feeling when I look at it again.
Anna needs to obtain the management rights of the territory of the three districts, and the other party just does not want to continue to be trapped by this mess.
She doesn't mind helping the other party's ideals. It is inevitable that the territory of the three districts also needs to revive some of its original glory. To a large extent, it needs such excellent and brave adventurers to open up new glory little by little. .
If Anna wants to do better than before, she must break the already solidified rotation here.
She can directly suppress it by force, but she only has one person, and she always needs someone to be her subordinate to take over these tasks. The trouble is, she only has one person.
"Meow--"
At this moment, the kitten's tail brushed her hand.
When Anna looked back, the pure white kitten was looking at her innocently.
Anna stretched out her hand to rub it, but the innocent kitten hid away again.
It seemed that the person who deliberately seduced her with his tail just now was not this little cat.
"No, you are too bad...?"
Anna deliberately reached out and grabbed the back of his neck.
"You don't want me to touch it?" Anna laughed, and deliberately rubbed him several times. Cat's Claw has been trying to resist, but the effect is minimal.
"After listening for a long time, did you hear anything?"
Anna asked him deliberately.
She asked President Alva to gather the leaders of both sides, that is, the leaders of the Heart of the Brave and the Beast King, to negotiate.
She will give new territory norms.
If the other party agrees honestly, then everything is easy to talk about, restrain their subordinates, obey those who should be obedient, discipline those who should be disciplined, and those who do not obey the rules will act in accordance with the laws and regulations of her territory.
After that, she will definitely give all the subsidies as soon as possible. Their difficulties are only temporary, and for her, the lord, it is not the biggest problem.
If the other party has other fantasies, he wants to show one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, especially if he wants to mess with her behind the scenes, or compete with her for some rights.
Then Anna will definitely not be soft-hearted, she can overthrow all the guys in this team by herself, although it will be a waste of time.
If she hadn't been short-handed—
There's no need to be so troublesome.
"Let's stay overnight." Anna said to Stephanie and the others, "I've written a letter and sent it back, they will understand, and I will ask Cinderella to prepare related materials, and then Dorothy and the others Escorted here."
"It just so happens that the fragments on the territory of the first area are almost found, and it's time to change places." Anna laughed.
"I don't think Dorothy and the others would mind visiting a new place."
Dorothy and the others were not so content in one corner.
They love adventure, and they have this adventurous spirit in their bones, especially Dorothy, who is always brave and likes all kinds of challenges.
At the beginning, there were still some burdens, such as having to find a way to go home, etc., but after all the problems were solved, she didn't worry about other messy things at all.
She began to enjoy adventure, enjoying all the activities, especially seeing around in strange worlds and learning about different things.
And for her, this was just such a place.
Being a patrol officer is of course very good, and she doesn't mind "going on a business trip" occasionally to see different scenery and learn more about the world and the vast place of Oran.
"understood."
Stephanie responded.
This has been mentioned before, and it may take more than one day. It is actually expected to stay for one night, but at the beginning, I didn't think about living in Stephanie's original home.
In addition, after seeing the situation here, Stephanie was especially worried about her neighbors and friends, and it was even more impossible for her to leave as if nothing had happened.
She had a good life herself, but she couldn't forget the people who helped her.
Anyway, she is also the real mother of Little Red Riding Hood, and she is not a vicious stepmother villain, but she is also a pure, kind and upright person.
"Hey, I didn't expect it to become like this..."
At night, the suburbs were still noisy.
Anna heard the voice of Stephanie and others talking downstairs, and it seemed that many people were still awake.
She lived alone in Little Red Riding Hood's room, on the second floor, and she couldn't sleep, looking out the window.
Sure enough, with her excellent eyesight, Anna could clearly see that there were some flames in the suburbs, but she didn't know what they were.
It wasn't quiet here either. The entire village in the third district was not in the quiet and sleeping atmosphere that it should have, but seemed restless.
It is said that there was a conflict between orcs and humans.
It is also said that some people didn't know they were beastmen, so they couldn't help it, so they went to "rush" the warehouse.
It is also said that there was a fight or a robbery in which one, or there was a personal enmity in the first place, which is even more contradictory.
They were originally a group of bloody adventurers, but with the intensification of the contradictions caused by the snowstorm, the situation became even more depressing.
"Meow--"
The cat jumped on her shoulder, then climbed on top of her head.
"You'd better come down..." Anna stretched out her hand expressionlessly. She thought she couldn't pull it off, but she didn't expect the kitten to be in her arms so obediently this time.
"Are you worried too?"
It seems that this innocent little cat is also very worried about the situation of the orcs in the suburbs.
Anna pursed her lips, thought for a while, and took the initiative to put the cat aside.
"Forget it, I'm still a little concerned. I might not be able to see the first-hand situation when I find someone tomorrow, so I'd better put on my beloved night clothes..."
The kitten didn't react at first, but when Anna pulled the curtains and took off her pajamas, he didn't get furry, turned around, buried his head under his paws obediently, and closed his eyes.
Anna didn't notice him at all and changed quickly.
It's time for her night visit again.
After changing her clothes, she just opened the window when the cold wind from outside poured in. Anna shivered a bit, and quickly re-equipped herself with a lot of props to ensure that her attributes were strong enough to withstand the cold, before stepping out of the window.
The next second, the cat swished into her arms.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Anna wanted to get it off and put it back in the house, but she didn't expect this cunning little cat to grab her clothes again with its paws, its small eyes seemed a little determined.
"Are you sure?" Anna frowned, but she didn't insist anymore, mainly because after the day's events, she had already found that this kitten was very disobedient and stubborn in many places.
"Okay... let's not take this as an example."
Anna compromises and reminds him:
"Don't bark, remember to stay by my side, don't run around, don't attract attention, or you will become a dirty, smelly, ugly kitten."
What responded to her was the kitten's pink paw, which pressed against her side cheek, but fortunately, it didn't stretch out its paw.
Anna went to the place where the leader of the orc king probably lived.
It seems that this is also one of the most noisy places.
At the closest point to the quarrel, Anna stopped, hid in the shadows, and listened for a while.
Those orcs seem to be hyenas, leopard cats and the like, and they still have tails or ears, just like Miss Rabbit Judy. Retaining some animal characteristics seems to be relatively common among orcs, and only a very small number of them can become fully human. look.
They were talking about food. There were probably four or five houses here, and two of them had their tents completely collapsed. In addition, part of the food was blown away by the storm, especially the rice noodles.
There is still a little meat, but there are four or five children in the family, let alone adults, there is not enough for the children to share.
They were the ones who had a big quarrel before, but there were not a few families in their situation.
The leader of the Beastman King, the second brother Cheetah, has divided up all the things in the Beastman King's adventurer team.
But inside the Beast King, there are hundreds of adventurers, and some of them are adventurers with their families.
That is to say, in this cluster, there are less than [-] adventurers and at least [-] to [-] family members, and a little inventory is not enough to digest.
Now, some of them save resources for heating by gathering children together, while others are desperately trying to find food.
In fact, many of them don't trust the human side, nor do they think that the president of the association can distribute food to them, so some of the orcs plan to "risk their lives" to find food in the forest or even in the North Mountain.
There are also monsters in the forest here, and there are even a lot of them. Most of the dangers come from here.
The influence of the snow has not been eliminated, and the monsters themselves are not too affected by the heavy snow. On the contrary, because of the shortage of food, the monsters may become more irritable and aggressive.
Entering the mountain at this time is a very "unreasonable" decision.
But there is no way, they don't expect other help, and they don't think they can get anything. In order to prevent the ethnic group and their children from dying in this disaster, they must risk their lives...
"Are you worried?" Anna asked quietly.
She felt the kitten pulling her in her arms, but as soon as she lowered her head, he looked at her with cute and beautiful big blue eyes, as if it was a silent expression.
"Then please please me, and I'll go find their leader right away."
Anna was actually just saying it casually, but she never expected that this little cat seemed to understand what she meant.
The kitten in her arms stared at her for a second or two. Just when she was about to give up, the kitten stretched out its head and rubbed against her minibus.
When she was surprised, the little cat took the initiative to rub her arm again.
Anna put her palm aside on purpose, and the little cat didn't hesitate for half a second, and then took the initiative to put her beautiful little head on it, and let her rub her chin.
This time, Anna was really surprised.
"Wow." She masturbated heartily.
The kitten had never been so easy to talk to before.
After playing like this for a few minutes, you can still vaguely hear some orcs' anxious, uneasy or angry, forbearing voices.
The little cat probably felt that it was almost done, so it stared at her again with eyes as clear as jewels, as if waiting for her to express something.
Anna chuckled and rubbed his little head again.
"Unexpected... stay in my arms, don't fall behind."
"Let's go, let's go to their leader."
Anna didn't know about the acceptance of the Beast King, but sneaking into their gathering place was not difficult for her.
Out of experience considerations, she specially sprayed some special magic potions on her body, which can reduce or even hide her smell to a certain extent. After all, many orcs have an overly sensitive sense of smell, and "concealment" alone may not be useful.
Maybe it was because she was holding a kitten on her body at the same time, she smelled like a cat, and she sneaked in very smoothly.
The divisions here are also very clear, probably around the periphery, they are all combat divisions, and there are two in the center. Anna went to one of them, and saw a tent after a tent. Crowd together to keep warm.
One of the litters, presumably housed herbivorous orc pups.
Several cubs with rabbit ears, including a cat ear, huddled together.
Halfway through sleeping, the straw felt too cold on their bodies, so they could only rub against each other, making cute cub whimpers, and then continued to huddle together. Most of them didn't have winter clothes to keep them warm.
