Chapter 309: First Venture into the New World
The Baimon people saw how brave these guests were, and everyone cheered. At this point, Belmode quietly took the man away, and Edward left, leaving only Willik to return to the tower.
The next morning, Alan and Willic returned to camp. Willik had a cloth bag on his shoulder, containing several things that had been collected from the adventurers the previous night. Mostly clothing, including the fire/gun and a bag of silver coins. It is supposed to be the common currency of this world, and there is a pattern on the front and back of the silver coin, which is a castle built on a high hill, so I don't know what it symbolizes.
The Baimon don't need silver, let alone the adventurers' clothing and fire/guns. So as soon as Eren spoke, Caesar generously gave them all these things.
These things didn't mean anything to Caesar, but they were the best cover for Alan and the others to go to Sur City.
A hundred meters away from the camp, a soldier suddenly emerged from behind a tree. After seeing that it was Allen, he pointed his gun down, nodded and said, "Young Master, you are back." ”
The fact that a cordon has been set up in this place shows that the security measures in the camp are good. And the location of the secret post chosen by the soldier is very good, and it is easy to be overlooked, so it can be seen that it should be Roy's handiwork. Only the experience of his military career can have this kind of thought. If you change to Bloy, you will definitely not be able to do it, the Highlander is a fierce general, but when it comes to military literacy, it is far worse than Roy.
Back at camp, Willik and Edward went to tidy up their clothes and other miscellaneous items. Allen went to Belmode, and after bringing the man straight back to camp the previous night, Belmode threw him into a tent. With him guarded, the adventurer had no hope of escaping.
Alan opened the tent and Belmode smiled, "You're here, boss." ”
"He'll leave it to you." Belmode withdrew.
The adventurer sat down on the ground with his hands tied behind his back. Of course, it was difficult for a rope to tie the engraver, and it was Belmode that really kept him from acting rashly. The man who always had a smile on his face was like a poisonous snake, staring at the adventurer uncomfortably. He was like a little beast exposed to the eyes of natural enemies, and he didn't dare to make any superfluous movements.
But Alan is different, he doesn't have the perennial taste of Belmode. And the adventurer heard it very clearly, the terrible man called the handsome young man in front of him "boss", which meant that the young man was the leader.
A bold idea breeds in the heart.
Suddenly, the light stripes on the adventurer's body lit up, and the rope that bound him immediately burst into flames. He screamed and jumped to his feet, lunging at Allen. As long as you restrain this teenager, you can hold him hostage and leave.
Belmode couldn't help but laugh when he heard the screams of adventurers ringing out in the tent. He could already imagine the fate of that unlucky guy, and with his skills, he couldn't get close to Alan unscathed, let alone the guy with a lot of power.
Sure enough, a scream soon rang out from the tent.
Alan lifted Qianjun, and when this guy pounced just now, he almost instinctively drew his knife and slashed down. It's just that I thought I still needed to get information from this guy's mouth, so I changed it to shooting. Qianjun slapped this man on the shoulder, and the heavy knife immediately smashed his shoulder to pieces. Only then did the adventurer know that the boy was even more terrifying than the man.
Picking the guy up from the ground, Alan asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Jim, my name is Jim, sir." The adventurer spoke.
Alan nodded, "Okay, Mr. Jim. Now I want to ask you some questions, and I hope you will cooperate in answering them. You have to understand that it's good for all of us. ”
"Sir, where are you from? Is that big metal out there something, a new type of chariot? The adventurer couldn't help but ask.
Alan smiled and said, "You're mistaken, Jim. I made it clear just now that I am the one who asks the question. And I just thought of one thing, from now on you are my servant. You can't betray me, and you can't leak what you see here to let people know. Otherwise, I don't think you'd be happy to see it. ”
Jim shuddered.
"Okay, now tell me where you came from."
"Sur City, sir."
"Why did you come to the Asr Mountains?"
"This ......"
Jim hesitated slightly, and suddenly the black light flowed in front of him, and Qianjun smashed down again, breaking the tail finger of his other hand. Alan squatted down and said, "Answer my question quickly, slowly, next time it's two fingers." ”
"Yes, sir. It was treasure, Baron York said there were treasures in the Asz Mountains, but they were possessed by the filthy Baimons. Jim almost burst into tears.
He was more spineless than Alan had imagined, perhaps as Edward said. The older a person is, the more he is afraid of death.
Now that it has begun, the subsequent interrogation has become much easier, especially since Jim is not a person who is not afraid of death, so the confession is not only detailed, but even a little verbose. If Alan hadn't asked him to stop, Mr. Jim might have said that he wouldn't have stopped for the first half of the day. From Jim's mouth, Alan has a preliminary understanding of the world.
There is no concept of a source force system in this world, so there is no division between the Sealer or the Awakened. They simply divide the abilities of the source force seal into two broad categories, the ability is biased towards the elemental form, for example, a person who can unleash ice and wind and fire is called a magician; Those who are good at using cold weapons and fighting with source power are uniformly divided into knights.
This is a very general classification, and in terms of the source system, it is clear that this planet is not as detailed as Earth or Idahua.
They also don't have the so-called concept of hierarchy, they only know that the more advanced the control of the source power, the greater the title and territory they can obtain in the kingdom. It's just that Jim's knowledge is not extensive, and from his description, Alan probably knows that the city lord of Sur City, that is, Baron York, probably has a strength of about level 15. Of course, this is the conclusion reached by comparing the levels of the Federation.
Above the barons, there are also titles such as viscounts, marquises, counts, and grand dukes. As for their level of strength, it remains to be discovered. However, judging from the baron's level 15 strength, the Grand Duke of this world will at least have the level of a Federation General/General. However, Jim also mentioned that many dukes' titles are hereditary, so their strength can be linked to their titles, but not the other way around.
Then there's the city of Sur, which is a city close to the Asz Mountains. The lord of the castle was Baron York, who about two years ago learned from an adventurer that there was a great deal of wealth hidden in the Asses Mountains. The adventurer brought back a little of his collection, a generous amount of gold bricks. And according to his description, there are thousands of such gold bricks.
Soon, the adventurer disappeared from the world forever, and the gold brick became part of the Baron York's collection. Naturally, Baron York didn't just look at a gold brick, he saw the Asz Mountains. The baron believed that the Asa Mountains were also in his domain, so the wealth of the mountains would naturally belong to him. In the beginning, the city of Sur secretly sent an army of 100 men deep into the mountains in an attempt to find the treasure, but the Baimon were repulsed.
After that, Baron York was desperate to get his hands on this wealth. He issued a bounty to the adventurers' guild in the city, asking them to find the treasure for him. As soon as the treasure is found, Baron York organizes a large army into the mountains. At that time, a certain percentage of the proceeds will be distributed to those who provide accurate information.
As a result, adventurers have entered the Asa Mountains almost every month for the past two years. Even the news spread to the neighboring counties, attracting more adventurers to come.
That's what Jim knows.
Alan left the tent, and Belmode greeted him outside: "Is the interrogation still smooth?" ”
"Knowing a lot of things, it seems like we have to make a plan for the next step. You give that guy some medicine first, and we'll need him as a guide. Alan said.
Belmode nodded and slipped in.
At noon, Alan gathered everyone, including twenty soldiers and the logistics team.
Alan stood in the middle of the room, making sure everyone could see him, and said, "Guys, just like you see." Because of the ambush, we had to venture into the warp space. Despite getting rid of the enemy, it fell into another predicament. Yes, we are lost. It's an unknown star field, and beneath our feet is a planet that isn't numbered in any way. ”
"Like you, I am at a loss, even afraid, about the future. But confusion and fear can't change the facts, so we have to do something about it. Now, I have had initial contact with the natives of this planet and have learned a little about this planet. I will treat this planet as an expeditionary colonization, with the only difference being that the natives of this planet are just as human as we are. ”
When Belmode brought Jim back before, a lot of people saw it. So not many people were surprised that Alan said it now. Alan continued, "This means that we don't have to have the inevitable fierce confrontation with the natives of the planet in the early stages of colonial expansion, as we did in the past. ”
"I already have a preliminary plan. There is a city not far from this mountain range, and we will use this as a starting point to take that city as our www.biquge.info on this planet by more gentle means. After that, we will expand our territory, and with territory we will have labor. With labor, we can do more. For example, if we use our technology to build a radio tower that can connect with the earth, then our return will not be far away. ”
Alan paused and said loudly, "I only ask you to trust me and obey me regardless of the conditions. And I'm going to take you back! ”
"That's my promise." R1058
