Chapter 11: Unease
Raphael doesn't know much about the Northlands, his birthplace was Woking, the southern city of the Ottore Empire, which is also the birthplace of most players, and only those lucky ones will get the chance to be born in other cities at the beginning, or even become other races! These are not options, which is what makes the game so beloved in the first place, everything is unknown, and every choice you make will have a completely different outcome!
"Then the venerable witch was ...... at that time" Before Raphael's words were finished, the leading man walked up to Raphael's side, "Magician, your words are a bit too much!" If there are some things you shouldn't know, don't ask too much! Obviously, the leading man's wariness of Raphael has not been completely eliminated.
Raphael glanced at him, then continued to walk forward, and the little red horse on the side snorted at the big man demonstratively, as if with some disdain.
"Chief, maybe this magician can help us, and the power he just showed can be used as combat power! But ...... you like that," the lieutenant whispered as he leaned over to him, apparently having his own thoughts on the information Raphael had just revealed. The lieutenant was a little dissatisfied with the big man's interruption.
"Have you forgotten that the witch told us to be careful of strangers who appear? Although he has revealed his identity and does not appear to have any malicious intent, we still need to keep an eye on him, and now you have revealed so many things to him, what if he is really a gangster?! The big man didn't suppress his voice, and the loud voice could be heard clearly even if Raphael was some distance away from them.
"Heh~" Raphael couldn't help but chuckle, but there are dead people in the town, and it's reasonable to be a little worried, but I haven't heard of any more famous quest lines in the Northland before, almost all of the people born in the Northland are girls, they are all new generation of astrology witches, it can be said that you need to work hard to enter the game with boys, and the treatment of girls in the game is really much better!
Outside the side door, "It looks like this horse of yours can only stay outside." The adjutant said apologetically, obviously sorry for the offense he had just made.
"If I can let it in, you probably won't stop it, right?" Raphael didn't plan to let his little red horse spend the night outside, especially when it was still in danger at any time.
"Well, yes, if you can let it in, we won't stop it." The adjutant glanced at the big man next to him, and the big man nodded, and then he responded.
"That's fine." As soon as the words fell, flames rose from the feet of the little red horse, and the horse's hooves stepped lightly, as if stepping on a staircase formed by flames, and its body kept rising up, and it entered it very easily.
"Oh my God!! Horses are flying!! The residents had seen such an exciting thing before, and they shouted loudly, which attracted more residents to come out and watch. There was a hint of envy in the eyes of these soldiers outside the wooden wall looking at Raphael, good horses are creatures that every soldier likes, if a lord rewards an officer with a good horse, it proves that this person is brave in battle, so the horse has a good symbol on the continent of Io!
Through the side door, the buildings in it are mostly built of trees, which is very common, the stone house is troublesome to build, far less convenient and simple than the wooden house, especially in the wild, a few wooden planks can become a good shelter, so the wooden house still occupies a dominant position in the buildings of human civilians!
These wooden houses do not have chimneys on top of those wooden houses like the Ottore Empire, they are in a relatively confined space, only the bottom of the house has relatively small exhaust holes and air intakes, so that the design can greatly retain the heat, so as not to volatilize quickly, there are many requirements, but Raphael has not been too involved in this area, and the twists and turns are not very clear.
The little red horse was watched by everyone, but no one dared to come forward to touch it, obviously there was some fear of the little red horse appearing from the sky, and people always had a little fear of things they had not seen. Raphael stepped forward and touched the mane of the little red horse, and the inhabitants turned their eyes to him, causing a small commotion again.
"It's all gone!" This big man is the last to come in, from which it can be seen that he still cherishes his subordinates very much, the last people often put themselves in the most dangerous situation, if they encounter danger, they will be the first to face it, it seems that he is indeed not disgusted with himself as an individual, but the recent events have made his spirit too tense to become a little suspicious!
"Bivis, take this guest to rest." The big man pointed to a soldier beside him, the soldier had a stern face, obviously not a good communicator, and it was clear that the big man really didn't want Raphael to know too much about what was going on in the village.
Raphael doesn't care about this either, and if he can't touch the quest line, then go to Lance and them. Let's see if he's opening up trade with the Northlands! This matter is what Raphael is most concerned about, if he can buy magic crystals from the Northlands, then he can cover up the fact that he owns the magic crystal veins, even if someone asks, he can completely make a fuss about the source to trade with the Northlands, which can be a good cover!
The Ottore Empire's control over the magic crystal is not very strict, allowing normal purchase and sale, or this kind of thing is not an easy thing to control. Almost all the users of magic crystals are legal professions, and if the Ottore Empire makes strict restrictions in this regard, then it is tantamount to provoking the sensitive nerves of these legal professions!
As long as the Ottore royal family is not a bunch of fools, they will never make such a stupid decision!
Holding the little red horse, Raphael followed behind the Northland barbarian, this guy didn't speak, Raphael didn't speak, looked around a little carelessly, the houses of the residents were closed, and the residents on the road also had a trace of fatigue and fear on their faces, even if they met, there was no communication, and the footsteps hurried by. Apparently recent events have put them all in a tense situation! Also, for ordinary residents, it is natural that this kind of thing will be very insecure!
