In a cave on the roadside, a fat gopher was awakened by the vibrations from the ground. It turned its ears and came out of the hole. These clever little guys are all cunning speculators. Every time they pass by,

If there is such a vibration, they will know that a carriage is passing by, and the food spilled on the carriage will always give them a good meal.

However, this fat gopher was not very lucky. As soon as it poked its head out of the hole, before it could see whether the convoy was transporting oats or dried fruits, it was caught and dragged by a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.

go out.

A dog-like and badger-like animal, chased by several of its kind, swallowed its trophy in two mouthfuls, causing its kind to moan unwillingly. At this time, a low sound sounded in the convoy.

With the sound of whistles, these animals that were still chasing and fighting immediately dispersed into the grass on the roadside.

"The terriers in the North are excellent hunters and excellent alerters. They can smell the smell of blood 10 miles away, and can also hear the sound of a night owl flapping its wings 3 miles away. What's even more rare is that they are quite smart.

, can convey information to the same kind through different calls. However, the raising and training of tiffins is a skill only possessed by the nomads in the North."

Edwin saw an old man on a horse in the motorcade holding a copper whistle in his mouth. From time to time, he made different whistles that echoed the whine of the hound. The scholar looked at Victor with great interest.

Said; "Little Baron, these guards you recruited are not simple. Not only are they well behaved, but they also have terrier trainers. It seems that they have a lot of dealings with the Sasan people in the north."

"Yes, they have fought several battles with the Sasanians in the north. Old Ham, the terrier trainer, was a herdsman that Nelson rescued from the Sasanians." Victor leaned in the carriage.

He said with a smile on the soft cushion, but his eyes were looking at the heater in the center of the carriage. The beautiful Miss Nicole was holding the charcoal tongs and gently flicking the charcoal in the stove, causing the reddish charcoal to give out a trace of flame again.

When Victor set out, he strongly invited Master Edwin, Knight Bruce and Miss Nicole to ride with him in his special carriage.

Victor's carriage is pulled by a giant rhinoceros. This huge herbivore is extremely powerful and has a long stamina. Although it is not fast, it has a steady pace. A carriage pulled by a giant rhinoceros must be stable and comfortable.

There were so many. Nicole hesitated but accepted Victor’s invitation.

"Master, as the second son in my family who has no right to inherit, I have always admired the Silver-White Tower. Unfortunately, I was not able to study at the Silver-White Tower in the end. Fortunately, Master came with me this time. I also hope to be able to learn from Master along the way.

I have a lot of questions to ask." Victor considered it for a moment and said politely to Edwin.

On the one hand, Victor has doubts about Master Edwin's purpose of going to his territory. On the other hand, Victor is very happy about the opportunity to learn more about the world through the Silver Scholar. You know, this

There are very few people in the world who have mastered knowledge, let alone a master scholar.

Victor decided to seize this opportunity and win over Master Edwin during the journey.

"Victor, you must be curious about why I want to go to your territory, right?" Edwin looked at Victor with a smile, a proud look on his face that he knew you couldn't hold back.

"Master, although I am a lord, my power is meager. I am both looking forward to your visit but also terrified. Because I don't know what attracts you in that territory. This may be an opportunity or a trouble." Victor

He said to Edwin with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, there's no trouble, but there's no surprise either. In fact, I just want to go through your territory to inspect the swamp for a while and collect some samples." Edwin was very satisfied with Victor's confession and said happily.

achieve one's own purpose.

"The Great Swamp? I heard that there are some orcs operating in it. Is this too dangerous?" Victor's heart moved, and Victor had been worried about the Great Swamp that was close to his territory.

"They're just some weak and timid lizardmen, so the problem isn't that big." Edwin said, "However, whether there are other species inside will have to wait until I investigate."

"I hope there won't be any powerful monsters." Victor said worriedly.

"Victor, strictly speaking, Centaur Hills is not a barbaric place full of monsters." Edwin smiled and explained to Victor: "Most people don't understand the history of Centaur Hills. In fact, Centaur Hills was originally a place where forest people

The territory of horses. This kind of white centaur is powerful and elegant. Unlike their savage and stupid black centaur relatives, forest centaurs do not eat meat and are not bloodthirsty. They have their own civilization and love peace, but they are very

Excluding humans. Some people believe that forest centaurs and centaurs are completely different species. They may be vassal races of the elves. I support this view, and Centaur Hills, as a territory that forest centaurs have managed for thousands of years, is not

There may be some powerful monsters."

"Are you saying that our Kingdom of Cambis has robbed the territory of the forest centaurs?" Victor found it a bit incredible. In his memory, the forest centaurs were a very powerful race.

"Of course we don't have this kind of strength. The forest men and horses migrated on their own." Knight Bruce said.

"Yes. Ten years ago, the Kingdom of Cambis discovered that the forest men and horses had abandoned the hills of men and horses and began to migrate into the endless forest. This territory was gradually occupied by goblins, kobolds, and jackals. After several trials, Cambis decided to open up

This new territory. The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Marquis Bastern, invited us in the White Tower to conduct research on the civilization of the forest people and horses. In return, we will disclose the research results to the Kingdom of Gambis." Edwin shrugged.

said.

"So what exactly made the forest men and horses abandon their homeland?" Victor asked the question that worried him the most.

"There is no clear conclusion yet, but judging from the traces left in the forest gathering place, they were well prepared and well planned. These all show that it was not a catastrophic reason that forced them to leave their homes. We generally guess

, it was the elves who were calling them, so the forest men and horses migrated to the Everfree Forest." Edwin picked up a cup of pine nut tea and took a sip.

"Master Edwin, can you tell us about the Great Swamp? It is rumored that there is a powerful hydra lizard in it." Nicole asked Edwin.

Victor glanced at Nicole gratefully, because what Nicole asked was exactly what he wanted to know. After all, his territory was adjacent to the Everglades. However, he saw that the Bruce Knight also sat upright, showing his listening expression.

look.

It seems that in addition to helping him clean up his territory, Bruce and his men also have to protect Edwin from entering the swamp to collect samples.

"I don't know much about the Great Swamp, and this is what attracts me. However, I can be sure that there won't be much danger in it, because the powerful monsters in the swamp are relatively lazy, and they all have fixed

Territory, fixed food. As long as we don’t anger them, swamp monsters generally will not attack humans. Even the legendary hydra lizard that can be compared with the dragon is no exception. Of course, intelligent races living in the swamp

They may attack humans, but they are generally very weak, and we can completely deal with them." Edwin saw the worry of Knight Bruce and patiently explained: "In addition, I am not going to go deep into the swamp this time, I just want to collect some information from the swamp.

Samples of plants and animals can be returned.”

Knight Bruce nodded and relaxed. Facing the legendary hydra lizard that could rival a giant dragon, even the most powerful Golden Knight couldn't please him, not to mention that Bruce was only a bronze-level knight.

.However, after listening to Edwin's introduction to the habits of the swamp monster, Bruce's inner pressure suddenly became much less stressful.
