Wangshan ran a dead horse.

On the outskirts of Arabe, the Charr could see the tail end of the Storm Horn Mountains. But after a whole day of galloping on a light horse, he stopped and stopped, and at sunset he could not find a place to stay, so he had to spend the night hastily in a cave built by a wild hunter.

After a good night's rest, we continued to rush the next morning.

Luckily, the trail wasn't overrun by monsters, so the trip went smoothly, and the next day, near dusk, Charles finally reached the wasteland beneath the mountains.

There is a small fortress that is the headquarters of the Abella Frontier Army, and the highest tower is planted with the Purple Dragon Banner of Cormier and the Banner of the Lord of Arabe.

"You've discovered Rock Castle."

An area is highlighted on the map.

Charles needs to enter the fortress to replenish the forage for his horses, and by the way, inquire about the road to Tifanton. The orcs in the Stormhorn Mountains have been in the know for a long time, and even players know that Cormier may be in for war soon.

The Fortress Guard did not refuse the adventurers to enter or leave, especially when the Charr showed off his priestly emblem, and several warriors gave way with respect in their eyes.

The fort is also marked on the Charr's homemade travel map.

According to the information he knew, the fort was inhabited by a mix of military and civilians, plus a regular army of 500 men, for a total population of 2,000. The commander of the fortress is a baron, a level 25 exemplary level of the Purple Dragon Knight.

"What, you're going to Tifanton, and you're still going to the mountain path?"

When buying forage, Charles asked a horse dealer uncle about the news, who knew that after listening to his words, the horse dealer uncle opened his mouth wide and said with a shocked face: "Don't you know that the mountain road has been dangerous in recent months?" ”

"The number of orc cubs and goblins who were banished into the mountains decades ago has increased. Moreover, some of the mountain savages hate us flatlanders, and a few adventurous teams that entered the mountains were attacked some time ago......"

Similar warnings came from the mouths of the waiters at the tavern on the street.

Charles is not a brainless second-class patient, and knows when to trust NPCs and what to ignore them. Walking the mountain road alone is inherently dangerous, but at this time, it will take a few more days to turn around and change the road. Charles was now very distraught even if he left the [Magic Painting] in his hand for more than a second, so it was obviously impossible to turn around.

It's best to find a strong Aboriginal adventure team.

Although the mountains are dangerous, adventurers must enter the mountains if they want to live. Taking advantage of the leisure time of the night to settle in the fortress, Charles inquired around and found a house in front of it.

Knock knock.

After knocking on the door, a heavy footstep was approaching, the door opened, and a giant man more than two meters tall stood behind the door, looking condescendingly at the Holy Advent in front of the door, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Who are you looking for?" The giant man's golden hair was very thick, and his shoulders were scattered, like a lion, and his whole body naturally exuded a coercion.

"You're Udic, aren't you?"

Charr smiled, holding the wooden emblem in the night, making clear what he meant.

"Honorable leader of the adventurers, in fact, I have heard that the adventurer led by you will enter the mountains tomorrow to trade with a tribe of mountain people, and I have a sacred mission to cross the mountain path and rush to Tifanton on the other side of the mountain."

"I know it's been a lot of trouble in the mountains lately, so I'd like to follow your adventure party into the ......mountains," Charles said, pursing his lips.

"Impossible."

Without thinking, the blond-haired giant man refused: "The tribe of mountain people who trade with me refuses to allow all strangers to enter. ”

"I am a priest of the priesthood of Ogma." Charles was not surprised by the giant's reaction, the emblem in his hand reflecting a glow in the moonlight.

"I follow you, and naturally I will fulfill the duties of a pastor. Except for resurrection, any wound can be completely healed by me. ”

Charles's smile remained unchanged, staring at the giant man in front of him, and said slowly: "I have also heard that every time Your Excellency goes out on an adventure, he has to bring his own daughter. ”

"I can swear to Ogma that if I encounter an invincible danger when entering the mountain, I will use the magic props on my body and use the 'flying technique' to escape with your daughter."

"Flying?"

The mad lion Uditz was obviously moved by the second half of Charles's words.

He is the leader of the Lionheart, the most powerful adventuring party in Dangerous Rock Castle, and there are ten adventurers in the team, but all of them are veterans who are close to forty years old. Udic himself is a level 20 barbarian, and is said to have an unknown advanced template.

The other nine team members are also in the range of level 18-20, and the adventure team formed is invincible even in the deep mountains. Charles sees this as such.

Before coming, Charles had done his homework.

The mighty Lionheart is not without its weaknesses. Their leader, Uditz, seems to be a severe daughter control patient, and he has to take his daughter with him every time he goes out, and he has not changed it for seven or eight years.

There is an extra Lori in the adventure team, which naturally adds a lot of unpredictable dangers. Charles persuades people to take advantage of such pry points to save time and effort.

"Holy Advent pastor, come in."

The mad lion Udic took a deep look at Charles, and took the initiative to move sideways to open the door, showing his welcome.

At the same time, a line of text data surfaces on the Shire retina:

"Mobilize the 'negotiation' skill to succeed."

"Negotiation +1."

Udic took Charles into the house and arranged a bedroom for him, during which the leader of the Lionheart asked for more information about Charles, such as his magical abilities and why he had rushed to Tifanton. Charles replied selectively.

That night, Charles settled at his home in Udic.

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of roosters had just echoed in Weiyan Fort, and there was a faint sound of conversation in the courtyard of the house.

Charles also got on the line early, and after pushing open the bedroom door, the other nine members of the Lionheart Regiment standing in the courtyard heard the sound of the door opening, and looked over in unison, and they all nodded with a smile on their faces, which was regarded as a greeting.

No one is foolish enough to have a grudge against a clergyman, especially when they go out on adventures with companions. Maybe you will be ambushed by a monster, or you will fall into a trap if you are not careful, and you will need a priest to save your life if you are seriously injured.

Especially in the border area such as Weiyan Fort, the only temple in the fortress is the temple of Xiangyuya, which is deeply respected and maintained by the military and civilians. If Dangerous Rock Fort becomes lively in the future, any player who is not long-sighted and desecrates the priest of the temple will definitely be ruthlessly expelled by the aborigines.

"Woo ......"

Udic, the mad lion, also came out of the bedroom.

He had a little girl on his shoulder.

The girl is petite, and she is more delicate than her father's big man, who is more than two meters tall. The girl inherited his father's blonde hair, but it was still unkempt when she got up. She was wearing a linen skirt and kicking her legs on her father's shoulder, obviously venting her anger at getting up, after all, it was too early.

The other nine members of the Lionheart Regiment are also uncle-level figures, and they have started a family in Weiyan Castle, so when they saw this scene, they all smiled softly, and seemed to think of their wives and children at home.

"Let's go—"

Udic's eyes swept over the nine members one by one, and after checking their equipment and blades, he took the lead out of the courtyard with a wave of his hand.

Outside the door, three large carts were parked, loaded with household items such as salt, oil and wine, as well as cloth and some small handmade goods.

Normal people know that the mountain people living in the mountains lack these things, but few people can gain the trust of the mountain people and establish trade relations with the mountain tribes.

It's no wonder that the Lionhearts are starting a family at Dangerous Rock Castle, a trade route that can be exchanged for precious herbs and hides from the mountain people, and even some mountain tribes are proficient in the art of forging, and the refined weapons they create are popular with adventurers.

Three of the middle-aged warriors of the Lionheart Regiment took on the job of coachmen.

Charles rode his light horse at the back of the convoy, his eyes flickering in thought.
