Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Chapter 3 Finding a foothold

The first Earl of Perast was a great knight with great fighting spirit. When he followed King Salar, he hoped to establish a small principality himself, and even prepared several places for himself. It is a pity that the beast tide broke out that year, and the development of the Salal Kingdom ended. The defense line was too far away from where the great knight was preparing. He was never able to become a Sky Knight, so he had to give up.

The earl had always hoped that a heavenly knight would appear among his descendants, so he hid the location in his notes and left it to his direct descendants. The border of Salal has indeed been gradually pushed farther and farther over the millennia, but unfortunately his descendants do not even have a few great knights. If Salal hadn't stipulated that nobles must be knights or above to inherit, Perast would probably have no knights left.

On the second day after becoming a warlock, Hill began to analyze where these locations were suitable for building a mage tower. Grand Knight Perast has many wonderful ideas, but his weak strength makes him look for places with strong hiding properties, which is very suitable for Hill.

Hill finally chose a valley about 15 days away from the Salar Kingdom's border. It was connected to the mountains and was about the size of an earldom. The Grand Knight of Perast felt that everything was fine but the place was too small for him. Hill has no desire to build a principality, legend is his pursuit.

Bonn's driving skills were very good and the alchemy carriage was very stable. Hill took out a pen and paper and silently calculated his inventory. He was about to have his own home.

After an unknown amount of time, Bonn knocked on the window several times: "Baron, it's time to rest and have a meal."

This is a camping site, and Bonn has already set up an alchemy tent. Hill got out of the car and stretched his body, and Lina had already prepared dinner. Before walking into the tent to eat, looking at Lina who was busy, Hill said to Bonn: "I saw the maid on the way and bought a few, and asked Lina to teach her a lesson. The housekeeper only needs to take care of things!"

Bonn said with a smile: "I know! It's my mother who doesn't want to buy servants here. She will consider it when she sees something good."

Hill rolled his eyes at him: "Then you go and help. Let Lina take the child to sleep outside at night, and you go sleep in the carriage!"

"Okay, okay!" Bonn said helplessly, "How could I let my mother sleep in the carriage!"

After Hill entered, Bonn found Lina: "Mom, the Baron asked you to buy a servant!"

Lina looked at him: "You said this place is not suitable, right?"

"Of course I did!" Bonn said, "He feels sorry for your busy schedule! Also, he asked you to take Dean and Sunny to sleep outside."

"What do boys know!" Lina said resolutely: "This is so close to the royal city, and the better ones are sent over! We can only buy people when we get to the border, and we can just add a few good horses. Okay, I know. Now, let Dean and Sunny go in and sleep after the Baron goes to sleep!"

Locke came over and said, "How about we let them sleep in the carriage with me."

"Just take good care of the horse!" Lina said: "The Baron doesn't want the children to suffer. No matter how comfortable the carriage is, it is not a bed. The children are sensible and will not make noises. The most important thing is to have a good rest! There is still such a long way to go! "

"Yeah!" Locke agreed and went to feed the horse.

Hill smiled and listened to the conversation outside. After summoning two earth elements to keep vigil, he was immersed in meditation.

After all, it was inside the kingdom and nothing happened overnight. Hill left everything to Bonn to handle, and he meditated silently every day. The journey went smoothly. Hill was really glad that he was not a male protagonist in an Internet novel. He did not want a magnificent life. A smooth journey and peace are what he hopes for.

After traveling for a month, we finally arrived at the western border town of Fisher. Lina bought about 10 young servants in the previous cities and taught them carefully, and they were already of some use. Locke chose two older boys for training. It was enough to follow the team to catch the carriage. Lina decided to buy some good horses in the border city.

Dean and Shanni stayed in Hill's carriage these days, and Hill taught them how to read when they were bored. Bonn's face looks earthy every time he sees it.

Hill felt so happy. It had been a long time since he had seen Bonn's face look like this.

No one in the Earl's castle liked Hill. But he is the master after all.

The servants could only inflict their resentment on Hill's personal servant Bonn.

During the four years in the castle, even though Bonn tried his best to hide, there would always be times when he was caught. They did not dare to let him get seriously injured, but bumps and bumps were always inevitable.

Although these have tempered Bonn's will, made him mature quickly, and even awakened a trace of mana. Bonn felt a sense of accomplishment, but Hill was still sad. Bonn was originally a cheerful and lively character, but he became increasingly taciturn and cautious.

The pain of not being able to protect his childhood friends made Hill thirsty for power. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he suddenly awakened as a warlock. The further away from Whitehorse the more little jumps Bonn hides, and Hill is really happy.

They have a week off in Fishers. Hill found his mage robe and put it on. No one offends a mage easily. Salal is a country built on the edge of the wilderness, and territory can only be opened up if it is more than 20 kilometers away from the national border. Even the Sky Knights have no choice but to give up if they encounter a few waves of beasts.

Salar is an emerging country that has only been around for a thousand years, and there is still a lot of room for development in the country. The small nobles and new knights who have separated from the family can still make merit in the army that guards the border, and can be granted titles in various lands. Nowadays, most of those who go abroad to build territories are the second sons of big nobles like Hill, who are capable and do not want to stay in the country and be controlled by their elder brothers.

To the south of Salar is the royal family's home country, Hafasaldor. To the east is the long coastline. The north is the most powerful barbaric land, and several small principalities have been established outside the Salar territory.

Although the west is also a wilderness, it is mountainous and barren, which is not suitable for founding a country. It is very suitable for little warlocks like Hill who just want to build a small territory to hide.

Not many of the territories built near the western border of Salar survived, and they were all fortresses built in the mountains.

The Great Border Wall in Salal is still mainly designed to prevent animal tides, and there are not many illegal businesses in the city. Merchants also go out of the city to deliver goods to the noble territories, and buy furs, horses and special products on the way.

Bandits liked to rob merchants who delivered goods to noble lands. Businessmen and bandits who can persevere in such a place must have the support of powerful people behind them. In fact, this also constitutes a kind of balance.

On the other hand, few mages who leave the city dare to offend. A mage taking his servants out of the country may be to build a mage tower, but it is more likely to offend someone and go out to live in seclusion for a few years. After all, the lords are spending money and effort to invite mages to settle down. .

Good things are all contained in rings, and they cannot be trapped. They can run away at once. Even if they plot against someone, they may fail. If they turn around and take revenge, they must go directly to the mastermind behind the scenes. And if the person who gives the money gets into trouble once, it's over. No one is doing the work that brings little benefit but also costs lives.

Hill checked into the best hotel in town and stayed there. Locke took Bonn to buy horses, while Lina trained the newly bought servants in the hotel. On the last day, she went out to buy enough food to fill a carriage.

Hill took out two more alchemy carriages, and those who were secretly monitoring them gave up. Another hard-working mage who went out to live in seclusion, and the ring actually contained 2 carriages! The carriages are valuable, but robbing a mage just for a few carriages is out of his mind.

The Great Wall of the Western Border cost the Salar Kingdom a lot of manpower and material resources. It was built with huge boulders between two mountains 500 kilometers apart. It is 300 meters high and 100 meters wide. The inner and outer sides are covered with protective magic arrays. .

Looking at the Great Wall winding up the mountains from a distance, he only felt majestic and majestic. But when he walked to the bottom and saw the huge dark city wall stones that shone with magic aura, Hill just felt intimidated. In this tunnel dedicated to leaving the city, after showing the noble documents, Hill looked back at the way he came from, and he didn't know how many years it would be before he came back.

The 20 kilometers out of the city are cleaned at regular intervals, but the bumpy roads outside the city are not easy to walk on. Hill took out an alchemy map and handed it to Bonn, then looked back at the Great Wall.

There are a total of 4 border cities on the Great Wall. He specifically showed the noble documents. Although the count would also know where he was going, he had to let Frank know where he was leaving and where he was going.

Hill activated the magic circle of the alchemy carriage, and Bonn took the lead in driving the carriage.

Hill placed a wooden spirit on each of the four carriages. The magic power on them was enough to activate the floating formation. Each carriage had two horses taking turns to exert force at a very fast speed.

The wood spirit can soothe the horses and restore their strength, and the magic stones in the carriage are enough to maintain the defensive formation. Hill sat in the carriage with confidence and waited to see if there was really a blind person.

As a result, no one attacked until he left the safe area. Hill sighed with relief and regret. He knew he was cowardly, but he really didn't want to kill anyone.

Bonn was much stronger than him. Since he had the power to go out, the scroll potions Hill gave him were all consumed. Hill knew that he must have encountered trouble while traveling outside.

But he knew that Bonn kept silent because he didn't want Hill to stop him from going out, so he could only silently prepare protective items for him and gave 2 of his 4 rings to Bonn. Fill one with scrolls, potions and alchemy bombs.

Hill has read many novels before, and the protagonists are all children who grew up in the greenhouse of modern society. Many people have not even experienced the beatings of society, but they can kill immediately and decisively! How hard-hearted one must be to do this!

Hill worked on construction sites for more than 10 years after graduating from college. He encountered numerous clients who wanted him to beat them to death. He was on the verge of losing control of his anger every day, but he never took action. He is a child raised by modern legal society, and he does not want to kill anyone.

But now he lives in this terrible world, where human life sometimes seems so cheap. Even the innocent Melanie in his eyes would kill a thief who entered the manor with a fireball. The enthusiastic mother Lina and the calm Locke whipped the erring slaves without mercy.
