Lord of Riding and Slashing

Ammon Mountains in Northam

"Master Nord, the Amon Mountains are ahead, and the territory granted to you by Grand Duke Besse is coming soon." A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper said to the boy next to him.

"Your territory is surrounded by mountains for a hundred miles, and there is only one village with less than a hundred people in front."

The young man named Nord, with black hair and black eyes, was wearing high-quality leather armor, wrapped in a black cloak made of cotton, with a one-handed knight sword on his waist, and looked calmly at the distant village.

"How many mountain people are there in the mountains?"

"The Amon Mountains are located in the northern part of the Nordson Continent. There are endless mountains. It is said that there are uncivilized barbarians in the deepest part of the mountain. Moreover, the people of the Amon Mountains are tough and hunt for a living. The villages on the mountains are far away, and no one cares. The number of mountain people."

Nord smiled when he heard the butler finished speaking, got on his horse, and said, "Why is no one caring, let's go, enter the village." After finishing speaking, he rushed to the distant village.

Tammy Village is a small village on the outskirts of the Yamon Mountains. It is located in the buffer zone between the two mountains. A small amount of flat land can be used to grow crops, and you can go hunting in the mountains, so it has supported a hundred households, but life is still very good. hard.

Marco is a hunter in the village of Tammy. Whenever the village's harvest is in short supply, he goes hunting with his father in the mountains. He has honed his skills since he was a child. On this day, Marco and a few friends planned to go into the mountains to get some game, and found that two people came from a distance on horseback at the entrance of the village.

Two horses came galloping from a distance, seeing how many people on the horses were dressed up, they were even more gorgeous than the tax officials who came to the village to collect taxes. I felt that they must be some important people, so I felt that the little friends stayed on both sides of the road and waited for the two of them. arrival.

The sound of horseshoes approaching, Marco and his friends bowed their heads. It is not the time to collect taxes. I don’t know why these two big men came. Usually these nobles stay in the manor to enjoy themselves, but they will not come to this remote place. suffer.

"May I have your name?"

"Are you asking me? My lord, my name is Marco." Marco raised his head and met Nord's calm eyes.

The corner of Nord's mouth raised slightly, looked at the strong Marco, and went straight to the village without dismounting.

"Yes, you are the one asking, Marco, take me to your village chief."

"Okay, sir, you come with me."

After speaking, Marco called his friends to run in the direction of the village chief.

"Marco, are you planning to go hunting in the mountains?"

"Yes, master, this year's harvest is not good, so we can only go to the mountains to hunt some prey to fill our stomachs."

"Don't call me Lord, I'm Nord Isaac, you can call me Lord Nord. Do you go hunting in the mountains when you're not farming?"

Marco's eyes dimmed when he heard this, as if he remembered something sad.

"Master Nord, there is very little land in our village, so if we don't want to be hungry, we can only go to the mountains to fight for our lives."

"How dangerous is it in the mountains? Is hunting a lot of casualties?"

"Yes, Lord Nord, my father went hunting in the mountains a few years ago and encountered the giant Amon bear. Only one of the five people with him escaped, and the others died in the hands of the giant bear."

Nord didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the surrounding environment. The Amon Mountains are located in the north. Although the huge mountains block most of the cold wind from the extreme northern ice sheet, the north wind that blows from time to time still makes people feel uncomfortable. The climate here has become fickle. The roads in the village were muddy, as if it had rained not long ago, and the wooden houses in the village were also in dilapidated condition. The outside of the houses was covered with animal fur, and there was a stench in the air.

"Lord Nord, just ahead is the home of Village Chief Colin." Marco pointed to the small courtyard in front of him and said to Nord. "I'll go and call him."

Nord got off his horse, and the village chief's courtyard was in the center of the village, surrounded by a large open space, which seemed to be a place where villagers gathered to discuss matters.

Just as Nord was looking around, Marco led an old man in his 50s over. The old man was wearing a flaxen robe, which had been washed and faded, but there were no patches. He had gray hair and a face. The wrinkles on the face show that the old man is no longer young, and the calm eyes reveal a trace of vicissitudes.

"Village Chief Colin, this is Lord Nord."

"Master Nord, I don't know why you came to our small mountain village. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Colin looked Nord up and down, thinking that these two people should be nobles. He wondered why they came here, and whether it would bring disaster to the village. Thinking of this, Colin's attitude became more and more respectful.

"You don't need to be too polite, Village Chief Colin. I am Nord Isaac. Grand Duke Besser entrusted Tammy Village to me. From today, Tammy Village will be under the jurisdiction of Isaac."

Speaking of this, Nord took over the fief decree issued by the House of Nobles from the steward, and showed it to Colin and others after opening it.

"Ah! Lord Lord, Colin, the head of Tammy Village, pays tribute to you. The village tax will be handed over to you after autumn."

After Colin confirmed the authenticity of the decree, he hurriedly saluted Nord, and thought of this year's harvest. I am afraid that after paying taxes, the village may not be able to survive this winter. If you don't pay, the village will inevitably be destroyed with the temperament of a nobleman. Thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in Colin's eyes.

"It's okay, you take me around the village first, I may stay in Tammy Village in the future, tell me about the surrounding situation."

"Lord Lord, you can stay at my house first, little Marco, you go and clean up the upstairs room, don't delay the master's rest."

"Master, you go shopping around first, I will prepare a room for you."

After hearing Colin's words, Butler Abel took the initiative to prepare the room.

"My lord, come here."

Marco led Butler Abel to clean up the room. Nord looked at Butler Abel who was following Marco, turned his head and said to Colin:

"Colin Village Chief, show me around."

"Come with me. To the east of the village is a flat land with about 200 mu of land. This year's harvest..."

Nord followed Colin to the side of the farmland, and saw several old farmers working in the field. The crops in the field were also sparse, and some were even withered and yellow.

Nord sighed inwardly, and smiled at Village Chief Colin.

"You brought me here for a reason first!"

"I let you see, my lord, after paying the tax in the spring, there is no grain left in the village, and the harvest in the fields is not good now, so the tax in autumn is probably..."

"Don't worry, I didn't come here for the tax in the village. There is not much food in the village. I will find a way with everyone. I won't let my people starve. You don't have to call My master, you can call me Master Nord."

"Thank you Lord Nord, you are really a kind lord, may the great God Amon bless you!"

It seems that this is the first time I write a novel in ten years. I don’t know how it is written. If it feels good, I hope everyone will support it. I will insist on finishing it.
