Destiny Thief

Chapter 49 Fishing in Troubled Waters I

Autumn in the north comes very early.In fact, judging from the world map, Nogo is not at the extreme northern end of the continent. Starting from Nogo against the cold air, riding a horse day and night, it takes about half a month to reach The kingdom's redemption and place of exile, Flying Eagle Castle, and then, if you can endure the really penetrating cold, you can enter the wild wilder and snow orc territory, the Far North Wasteland.

In the bleak autumn, the mountains of Nuoge are still generally green.The color of the pine needles became deeper, while the birch, maple, and sycamore gradually began to wither. The original green leaves turned yellow, fell off, drifted with the wind, and finally merged into the soft mud surface, turning into a A layer of dark humus.

This season is a relatively comfortable and busy season.After a day of hard work in the field, the farmer washes the mud from his hands and feet in the ditch beside the field. Looking at the scene of heavy and crooked plant stems, his heart is full of joy of harvest.Such a situation not only happened near towns and villages, but also in the Nogo mountains where "bandits" were infested.

of course there are exceptions.

Because of having an excellent leader, the "Wild Wolf" bandit group did not do any farming this year-in the spring, the bandit leader said this: Except for the hard stones that can be seen everywhere, there are some The sandy and saline-alkaline soil is really not suitable for farming.If you act reluctantly, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it is difficult to guarantee the harvest.

In this regard, Old John once questioned, "Glo, if we don't cultivate the land, what should we do with our food?"

Looting and hunting is not a thing with steady income.When everyone first came to the Ampton Mine, they lived a life without a single meal. The sour wild fruits, wild vegetables with rough and unpalatable taste, and sporadic bean soup with oily stars, made people's eyes turn green ——It wasn't until Old John took the lead in reclaiming a little wasteland and planted some buckwheat and kale that the days like this gradually improved.For Glo's decision to persuade everyone not to farm the land, Old John said that he really couldn't agree with it.

"Food problem? Hey - don't worry too much anyway!"

The bandit leader patted his chest and said confidently.At this time, he already had a LV8 ranger professional level and was almost invincible in the Nogo Mountains.

The reason why Glo is so swearing is not without reason-the otaku lived in an era where he did not worry about food and drink in his previous life, and the lack of food is simply unimaginable.With those things in his mind, he has several ways to solve the problem of food sources for the bandits.

For example, trade through looted materials.After the bandit leader took over, the income of the whole team was significantly higher;

Another example is to hunt wild animals to nitrate animal skins or use local materials to make some ordinary weapons and equipment, and then sell them;
The bandit leader even thought of developing the Umpton Mine into a tourist resort. In his opinion, this place is lined with trees, rocks and rocks, and the scenery is fantastic. It is simply a natural holy place for leisure, right?There are also climbing, hunting in the wild, and one-day mining tours are also some very good projects, so the otaku laughed happily in his dream-but when he woke up, thinking of his own notoriety , the status quo of the Northland and the nominal ownership of this mine, the laughter will soon stop.

After some consideration, the bandit leader decided that staying here for a long time was not the way out.

Autumn is getting cooler, and the temperature in the Nuoge Mountains is even lower.Glo sat in the spacious hall, beside him, Miss Mage stayed aside like a docile kitten.This place was originally a mine, but it has been carefully remodeled by the bandit group, and it has completely lost its previous appearance. It is comfortable and warm, and the orange bonfire is crackling and burning in the fireplace. The design is vented to the outside by a chimney.

“1839枚雷尔，这是我们目前全部的现金。仓库还有46张毛皮，33把大剑、16把战矛、21把长刀、9把短弓……”

Oliver held a note in his hand and read like this.The members of the bandit group gathered in the hall, including the children, little Fanny, little John, and little Andy... the group sat quietly on chairs, or sat cross-legged on the wool carpet, Occasionally chatting in a low voice, but there is no talking or laughing.

"Very good. Rael is sufficient, and the equipment will not be used as a supplement for the time being."

After the bandit leader made his comment, he hooked his chin with his thumb and looked up at Old John.

"The bacon is almost filling the kitchen, and there is a lot of flour. I think it shouldn't be a problem for everyone to eat for a few months. However, as for vegetables, since we gave up farming..."

Old John is still brooding over the original arrangement of the bandit leader.

"We can buy some potatoes and cabbages from the farmers, which are easy to store."

The bandit leader didn't care about the faint complaints in Old John's words. He clapped his hands, stood up from his chair, and looked at everyone: "I plan to go to Afron these days."

"But, sir, didn't we just go there last time?"

Levin asked with some puzzlement, he was referring to the trip more than a month ago.

"This time it's because of something else."

"Then do we need to make preparations?"

Scott asked.

"No, no need. This time I plan to go alone."

The leader of the bandit vaguely remembered the background introduction in the game. This time he went to Afron, he tried to find some opportunities - banditry is by no means the right path worth adhering to. As the leader of the team, he felt that it was necessary for him and everyone Find a good future and a way out.The confrontation between the forces of the Escud family and the Royal Navy is a very good opportunity right now.

If possible, Glo intends to fish in troubled waters—Since returning from robbing the fat businessman last time, Glo has stayed in the Umpton Mine and occasionally exchanged some experience in alchemy and equipment enchanting with Miss Radia. .Most of the time, except for daily exercise, he stayed in his house, faced with a thick stack of manuscript paper, recalled some events in the game, wrote them on the paper, and after repeated , Reasonable logical deduction, stringing events together into a series of complete clues.

Yesterday, he probably had a clear understanding of the important things that were going to happen in Afron—it just so happened that today was the monthly meeting of the Bandit Group, so the bandit leader decided to go to Avron alone after confirming that everything was safe.The reason for acting alone is to reduce the target, facilitate things, and avoid the attention of some people.

Glo remembered the trouble he had caused in Avron last time.
