Lord of Riding and Slashing

The architectural style of Yuanshanzhai is very close to nature. The houses and streets are built with tall trees. If it weren't for the mountain people coming and going, all of them were naked and hungry, Nord would have thought that he had come to The tree city of elves.

But the mountain people in Yuanshanzhai are not the same as the group of elegant elves that Nord knew in his previous life. Natural and beautiful are Nord’s first impressions of the construction style of Yuanshanzhai. Hardship and poverty are what Nord saw in Yuanshanzhai. After the second impression of the villagers, Nord thought in his heart that people living in such a beautiful cottage should not live such a barren life.

After Nord entered the cottage, although the mountain people passing by would cast curious eyes, but after seeing Benny and Harry in the lead, they had no intention of stopping to wait and see. Although everyone looked They all looked especially weak, but they still hurriedly walked towards the outside of the cottage.

Nuode was observing the situation in the remote cottage along the way, which was a bit different from what Nuode had imagined. The cottage seemed to be full of despair, and everyone was lifeless. Even the most energetic child was sitting at the door in a daze , with a thin body and malnourished appearance, it looks a little distressing.

"Harry, has something major happened in your cottage recently? Why is everyone in such a hurry."

Harry had a wry smile on his face when he heard this, and looked at the sallow and emaciated mountain people around him, with a sad tone in his tone.

"Lord Nord, at this time of year, the food reserves in the village are not enough to eat, so every household has to go into the mountains every day to find food, otherwise today's rations will be gone."

Nord showed a puzzled expression on his face. There will be famine at this time of year. Why don't you want to solve this problem?

"I remember you said that Shanzhai has been collecting wild fruits for a living, why not try to plant some crops to survive the difficulties?"

An embarrassed expression appeared on Harry's face, and his tone was much lower. Hearing Nord's questioning, Harry didn't know how to answer.

"We...we didn't expect that there was such a food as yam. Before, there were wild fruits in the mountains and forests that could not be eaten. It's just that in the frost and cold seasons, most of the wild fruits are rotten. We have nothing to do... we can only go to the mountains and forests Try your luck hunting..."

Harry's voice became smaller and smaller, and eventually he lost his voice. During this period of time, he talked with the hunters of Tammy Village and learned that the situation in Tammy Village was not much better than that of Yuanshanzhai. Although there is a hundred acres of farmland, every In the frost and cold seasons, people will starve to death, but since Lord Nord came and found food like yam, the villagers are full of hope to overcome the difficulties this year.

Although Nord's questioning made Harry a little ashamed, but thinking that this year Yuanshan Village could also use the yam buried in the ground to survive the cold season like Tammy Village this year, Harry felt a little more joyful in his heart.

Seeing Harry who was speechless, Nord didn't know what to say. Nord understood that this was not a question that Harry alone could answer. It was the common responsibility of every mountain dweller in the village. Without the courage to try boldly, it is no wonder that he has to endure such hardships every year. Nord recalled the words of Mr. Lu Xun in his previous life, "Mourning for his misfortune, angering him for nothing."

Following Harry's silence, everyone gradually quickened their pace and arrived at Benny's house in a short while.

It turns out that after Harry introduced Nord, he found out that not only Benny's grandfather is the wisest old man in Yuanshan Village, but Benny's father is also the leader of the hunters in the village. Yuanshan Village does not have the position of village head like Tammy Village. Everyone discusses everything together, and Benny's father and grandfather are basically the most prestigious people in Yuanshanzhai.

There are two big trees in Benny's house. The big trees are surrounded by two people. It looks a bit spectacular. The wooden house is built between the two big trees. Branches, it seems that people can also walk on them.

When they arrived outside Benny's house, Nord and the others did not go in, but asked Benny to invite his grandfather out. It was inconvenient for so many people to enter Benny's house.

Nord didn't wait too long, and a gray-haired old man walked out of the house. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his cloudy eyes revealed the light of wisdom. With a black wooden stick in his hand, he slowly looked at the standing man. Nord and others outside the door.

Nord was also looking at the old man, and no one spoke for a while. The old man finally spoke first when he saw the coat of arms on Nord.

"Nobleman outside the mountain, I am Harun from the distant village, please explain your purpose of coming."

Nord was a little surprised. When Nord saw the scene of the distant village, he thought that even the wisest old man was just older and had seen more. But as soon as Harlan opened his mouth, Nord knew that the old man in front of him was not It's not as simple as imagined.

"Hello, I'm Nord Isaac, the Viscount of Bethel Duchy. My fief is just outside the Amon Mountains. I came to the remote village to find out the situation in Isaac's territory."

"The Principality of Bethel..." Elder Harun's eyes flashed with confusion, as if he had never heard the name of the Principality of Bethel.

"Dear Viscount Nord, do you mean that Yuanshan Village is your territory?"

There was a gleam in Harry's eyes, and he looked directly at Nord, as if to see what Nord was thinking clearly.

"No, I don't know if Yuanshanzhai is within my territory, but this doesn't affect my ability to bring changes to Yuanshanzhai."

Nord didn't flinch, and looked directly into Harlan's eyes, his eyes full of confidence.

"What a change!"

Harlan saw the confidence in Nord's eyes, but he did not completely let go of his guard against Nord. He struck the ground with his pitch-black cane, and asked Nord again, and his eyes became sharper.

"I came here with good intentions and wanted to establish a friendly relationship with Yuanshanzhai. Before that, I discovered a food that could solve the food crisis in Yuanshanzhai. You may have heard of it. It can be eaten after being roasted, and the yield of this thing is very large.”

Nord told Harlan straight to the point of his purpose of coming to the remote village, and briefly explained the concept of yam. Harun's eyes showed a trace of doubt.

"Mountain lump? Isn't that thing poisonous?"

"Of course, your grandson Benny can testify that he ate this kind of food last night, and now I'm changing the name of this kind of food to yam, the elixir of the mountain!"

Harry looked at his grandson Benny, Benny nodded to Harlan, and whispered to Harlan how delicious the yam was last night.

Hearing Benny's confirmation, Harlan looked at Nord with complicated eyes, finally stared at the coat of arms on Nord's chest, and said slowly:

"Do you know what animal the coat of arms on your chest is?"

Nord looked down at the eagle with its wings spread out. To be honest, Nord hadn't studied it carefully before, and Nord's cheap father had never told Nord about their family history before. He only heard that they came from A branch of an ancient family, now in decline.

"Isn't that an eagle?"

Harlan turned his head to the sky, and there was some inexplicable look in his eyes.

"This is not an ordinary eagle, it is an eagle from the Amon Mountains, a rebellious eagle."
