Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - CH 3

It was a pity that the beast tide broke out that year, and the Salar Kingdom’s development ended. But unfortunately, the defence line was too far from where the great knight stayed, and he never became a sky-level knight and finally had to give up.

The earl always hoped that a sky knight would appear in his descendants, so he hid the location in the handbook and left it to his descendants.

It was confirmed that the border of Salar has been gradually pushed away over the millennium, but unfortunately, there were not many great knights in his descendants, much less a sky knight.

If it wasn’t for Salar’s regulation that nobles must be knights or above to inherit the title, Perast Earldom, perhaps there would not have even a knight.

On the second day of becoming a baron, Hill began to analyse locations suitable for building a mage tower. The Ancestral Manuscript had many beautiful ideas, but his weak strength made him look for more hidden places.

Hill finally chose a valley about 15 days away from the border of the Salar Kingdom, which was about the size of an earldom, including the surrounding mountains.

The servant felt that everything here was perfect, but the territory was too small. But for Hill, it was excellent.

After all, Hill had no desire to build a duchy, and becoming legendary was his pursuit.

Hill took out a pen and paper to silently calculate his inventory, and he would have his own residence soon.

I didn’t know how long it took. Bonn knocked on the carriage window a few times: “Baron, it’s time to rest and eat.”

This was a campsite, and Bonn had already set up an alchemy tent.

Hill got out of the car and stretched out. Lina had already prepared dinner for him. Before walking into the tent to eat and looking at Lina, who was busy, Hill said to Bonn: “I saw the maid buying a few on the way. Just let Lina teach it well. The housekeeper doesn’t need to do chores!”

Bonn said with a smile: “I know! It’s just that my mother doesn’t want to buy servants here. But she will consider it if she sees a good one.”

Hill rolled his eyes at him: “Then go and help! Let Lina take the child to sleep inside the tent at night. You go to sleep inside the carriage!”

“Okay, okay!” Bonn said helplessly: “How could I let my mother sleep inside the carriage!”

After Hill went to his tent, Bonn found Lina: “Mom, Lord Baron asked you to buy servants!”

Lina looked at him: “Didn’t I say before there was not anyone suitable here?”

“Of course!” Bonn: “He just cares about you! Also, he asked you to take Dean and Shanny to sleep inside!”

“What do boys know!” Lina said resolutely: “This is so close to the royal city, and the better ones have been delivered away! We can only buy servants when we get to the border with a few more good horses. Okay, I get it. So, let Dean and Sunny go to sleep when the baron is asleep!”

Locke said, “Or let them both sleep with me in the carriage.”

“Just take care of the horse!” Lina said: ” The baron also 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 noise, the most important thing is to rest! There is still such a long way to go!”

“Hmm!” Lock went to feed the horses.

Hill smiled and listened to the conversation outside, and after summoning two earth element vigils, he immersed himself in meditation.

Hill handed everything over to Bonn, meditated every day, and the journey went smoothly. Hill was glad that he was not a male protagonist of online literature and didn’t want a magnificent life. All the way is smooth, safe, and sound is what he expects.

After travelling for a month, I finally arrived at the western border city of Fisher. Lina bought around 10 young servants in the previous cities to teach them carefully, which can already be used for some purposes.

Locke chose 2 bigger boys for training, and it was enough to drive the carriage behind the team. Lina decided to buy some good horses in the border city.

Dean and Shanny had been in Hill’s carriage these days, and Hill taught them to read when he’s bored. Bonn looked more vibrant every time he saw it.

Hill felt so happy. It had been a long time since he saw Bonn’s face like this.

In Earl’s Castle, no one likes Hill. But he is the master, after all.

The servants can only cast their resentment on Hill’s personal servant Bonn.

During the 4 years in the castle, although Bonn tried to hide as much as possible, they dared not let him be seriously injured when he was caught, but bumps and bumps were always inevitable.

Although these exercised Bonn’s will, he matured quickly and even awakened a little mana. However, while Bonn felt accomplished, 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 friend made Hill desperate for power, which may be one of the reasons why he suddenly awakened as a warlock. The farther away from the Baima City, the more excited Bonn was, and Hill was pleased.

The team was taking a break. So, Hill took out his mage robe and wore it. Seeing this, no one will offend him. Salar is a country built on the edge of the wilderness, and only 20 kilometres away from the border can open up its territory. So, even if the sky knight encounters a few beast tides, he can only give up.

Salar is an emerging country that has been around for a thousand years. There is still a lot of room for development in the country. The minor nobles and new knights who have been separated can still make contributions to the army guarding the border and ennoble them. Now, most of the people who go abroad to build territories are the second sons of the nobles like Hill, and they are all people who have the ability and do not want to stay in the country and be governed by their elder brothers.

South of Salar is the home country of the royal family, Heva Sardo. To the east is a long coastline. The north is the most potent wild land, and several small kingdoms have been established outside the territory of Salar.

Although the West is also a wilderness, it is mountainous and wasteland, not suitable for building a country, but it is very suitable for a little warlock like Hill, who just wants to build a small territory and hide.

Few of the territories built near the western part of Salar persisted, and they were all fortresses built in the mountains.

Salar’s border Great Wall was still mainly to prevent animal tides, and there were few illegal businesses in the city. However, merchants also went out of the city to deliver goods to noble territories, buying furs, horses and specialities along the way.

Robbers liked to rob merchants who delivered goods to noble lands. And the merchants and robbers who could persist in this kind of place must have the support of those in power behind them. In fact, this also constitutes a kind of balance.

However, They dare not to provoke a few mages who leave the city. Mages who go outside with their servants might go out to build mage towers, but they were more likely to feel offended and go out and live in seclusion for a few years. After all, the lords were all paying to invite mages to settle down.

Good things were packed in the ring, so they couldn’t be trapped. So if they say they run, they will run away. If the robbery failed. They would look back for revenge. So they must go directly to the party involved, especially the person behind the scenes. And if the person caused trouble, it would be gone once it happens. So there was no one gonna rob the mages without much benefit.

Hill stayed in the best hotel in town and didn’t move. Locke took Bonn to buy horses, Lina trained the newly bought servants in the hotel and went out on the last day to buy enough food to fill a carriage.

Hill took out two more alchemy carriages, and all those who secretly watched them gave up. Another hard-pressed mage went out to live in seclusion. So there were actually 2 carriages in the ring! The carriage was valuable, but robbing a mage for a few carriages was a fool’s errand.

The Great Wall of the Western Frontier cost a lot of manpower and material resources for the Salar Kingdom. Between two mountains 500 kilometres apart, a city wall with a height of 300 meters and a width of 100 meters was built with boulders.

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 enormous black stone walls flashing with a magical aura, Hill only felt dreary. So in this tunnel going out of the city, after showing the noble documents, Hill looked back at the way he came from, as for when he came back, he didn’t know how many years later.

Within 20 kilometres outside, it must be cleaned at regular intervals, but the road with potholes outside the city was not easy to walk. So Hill took out an alchemy map, handed it to Bonn, and looked back at the Great Wall.

There were a total of 4 border cities on the Great Wall. He especially showed the noble documents. Although the earl would know where he was going sooner or later, he must let Frank know his whereabouts.

Hill opened the formation of the alchemy carriage, and Bonn drove the carriage and set off.

Hill placed a wood spirit on the four carriages, and the magic power on them was enough to open the floating formation. Each carriage had two horses working in turn, and the speed was very fast.

The wood spirit could soothe the horses and restore their physical strength, and the magic stones in the car were enough to maintain the defensive formation. So Hill sat in the carriage with confidence and waited to see if there was really someone with sharp eyes.

As a result, no one attacked until he left the safe area, and Hill sighed in relief and regret. He knew he was a coward because he didn’t want to kill.

Bonn was much stronger than him. Since he had mana to go out, the scroll potion that Hill gave him had been consumed. Hill knew that he must have encountered trouble when he was running around.

But he knew Bonn didn’t want to say anything because he didn’t want Hill to stop him from going out, so he could only silently prepare protective items for him and gave Bonn two of his four rings. Fill one of these with scrolls, potions and alchemical bombs.

Hill had read a lot of novels before, and those protagonists were also children who grew up in the greenhouse of modern society. Yet, so many people had never even been beaten by society, and they could kill anyone immediately and decisively! What a formidable heart it takes to do this!

Hill worked on the construction site for 10 years after graduating from college. He met countless parties who wanted to kill him. He was on the verge of losing control of his anger every day, but he never did it. He was a child raised in modern legal society and did not want to kill.

But he now lived in a terrible world where human life sometimes seems cheap. Even the pure Melanie in his eyes would burn the thief who entered the manor with a fireball. The enthusiastic mother Lina and the calm Locke whipped up the slaves who made mistakes and were also ruthless.
