【0462】 Black Forest (2/5)
Toothless is very excited.
God knows how much he has paid for his family as a dad in the past two years!
Without the pleasant suona, without the warm wind - life has become hunting, feeding children, and flying with the windy cubs...
After seeing Yasuo again, the maps I once hated seemed to be pleasing to the eye.
After confirming the marks on the map, Toothless spread his broad wings and took less than a day to cross the Sea of Watch and arrive at the Iron City in the southeast corner of Noxus.
That is, Yasuo is here, and he has been working hard to accompany him, otherwise Arriya and Riven will be able to vomit it out on the spot!
However, even if Yasuo tried his best, when Toothless landed, Arriya and Riven's legs were still weak...
Fortunately, the next trip does not need to be carried out continuously. If you rush through the day and rest at night, you won’t be too tired.
It took half a month for Toothless to start from Tiexue City, heading towards the northwest, climbing over the magnificent barrier, passing by Besilico, which was almost reduced to ruins, flew over the Noxy wasteland, passing through the Dalmo Plain, and finally arrived at the northern area of Noxus.
Although autumn has not yet begun, the temperature has begun to drop significantly - to the north is the Iron Gate Mountains, which lies between the Dalmo Plain and the Frellzord Tundra, which is the northern gate of Noxus. If you cross the Iron Gate Mountains, it is Frellzord.
Yasuo had visited the Iron Killers once before, and his destination was Freljord, so he chose to dig Fort Dow to replenish supplies and "buy" from an unlucky person.
This time, Yasuo and others did not choose to replenish supplies in the Fort Wor - just not long ago, the lord here was taken away by Svein because of the self-respect of the bandits. Now it is under the jurisdiction of the Choi Falli Legion, and the entire city is under the jurisdiction of the entire city.
Considering that the current Duower Fort is probably full of war stonemasons, Yasuo did not resupply and sort out information here, but turned west and entered Tukugur directly.
This is the destination of Yasuo's trip.
Tukugur Basin – or...Black Forest.
………………………………………
The name of the Black Forest has been around for a long time. Even when Noxus was still Noxy, it was called the Black Forest.
Various pine trees grow everywhere in this northern Noxus area, including the Tukugur Basin and the Rugerao Peninsula.
These tall and cold-resistant plant building blocks form a forest. Under the interweaving of dark gray bark and dark green, the entire forest appears as dark as ink.
Even after the snow, the forest here still makes people feel depressed - so? The name Black Forest came into being? And it became more and more popular.
Moreover, after the establishment of Noxus and the empire began to expand? Because the winter is cold and sparsely populated here? A large number of Noxus fugitives, exiles will choose to avoid the pursuit of the empire here.
Over time, the "black" of the black forest is not only a color? It is also a representative of danger.
Here, although the law of Noxus is still useful? However, its scope of action is limited to the settlements within the jurisdiction of the Northern Legions.
After leaving the gate of the settlement, it will be a lawless free area.
In this sparsely populated free area, even if there are a few, dozens or even dozens of people die, the result will generally be left alone.
After all... after winter, the dire wolf pack will appear once? The number of dead people is much more than this.
What to say? Yasuo’s arrival here was not a good time - it was already autumn, and in another month, winter was about to come.
Although winter in the Black Forest cannot be compared with Frelljord, it is as deadly.
Even if Yasuo, Riven and Arrelia don’t care…but the locals in the Black Forest care!
At that time, it may not be very convenient to do anything.
After realizing this, the three people immediately reached a consensus on the policy of "acting as soon as possible".
………………………………………
At supper, the old pocket tavern.
Old Tom was quietly wiping the wine glass in his hand behind the bar? The wine glass was already very clean, but he never stopped his hand movements.
Obviously? He was a little absent-minded.
At this moment, the boss's attention was completely placed at the small table in the corner? Where? One man, two women and three were comparing the menu? Ordering dishes to his son, little Tom.
This tavern is located in the town of Tukugur at the "entry" of Tukugur Basin.
On the map, the Tukugur Basin is like a pocket with a super north opening, and the Iron Bramble Mountains are the rope that ties the pocket, and the Tukugur Town is located at the opening of the pocket.
The name "Old Pocket" is the grandfather of Old Tom... After seeing the map, Grandpa took it with a flash of inspiration.
This is a good name.
In Tukuguer Town, there are not many taverns that can be passed down - of course not because there are not many taverns themselves. In fact, because of the cold weather, the number of taverns in the entire Tukuguer Town has been at the scale of more than 50 for many years. You should know that the permanent population of this town is less than 10,000, and the number of taverns is already amazing.
Autumn is the busiest time of the tavern - the weather gets colder and people have to drink, but before winter begins, everyone is not unwilling to go out. They have to bring home several barrels of strong liquor once they go out, and then they don’t go out for a long time.
Today, the business of the old pocket tavern is particularly good.
And the evidence of "extraordinary good" is the three people on that table.
In the eyes of old Tom, although these three people also wore marten and badger skin hats and over-knee robes popular in the north, they were completely different from the local poor and ruined people.
They are innocent faces.
In this autumn season, a new face often means... the business is coming to the south.
Tukuguer Town is the largest fur distribution center in Noxus - except for fur merchants, no one will come to Tukuguer Town during this autumn season.
Old Tom likes such guests. These fur merchants often choose to inquire about news in the tavern. They are rarely petty and tend to be more generous in their actions.
Soon, under the expectation of Old Tom, little Tom returned to the bar with the menu.
"How is it?" Finally put down the cup, Old Tom whispered, "How fat and thin?"
"Fat." Little Tom murmured in a low voice, "but not a sheep."
"Not a sheep--" Old Tom was somewhat disappointed when he heard this, "Okay, you go and notify the kitchen."
"What if the wood chopper asks?"
"Just tell them to be honest, tell them to go out and have nothing to do with me."
