Chapter 30

Along the healthy forest to the southwest, the trees gradually become sparse, and occasionally intermittent logging paths appear near the shore of ash lake. On both sides of the path, you can also see some old and decadent tree trunks. After the wind, sun and rain, they have become a shelter for mosses, mushrooms and other plants.

Through the shelter of trees, you can see the old stumps in the grass and shrubs. It used to be a logging field, and the high-quality wood provided a source of livelihood for many people. Neibo town is located next to the healthy forest, or more accurately, part of the healthy forest has been cut down, changed its shape and become the present neibo town.

Once the town prospered because of logging, but also because of excessive logging led to disaster. A group of Druids living near ash Lake did not agree with Nebo's deforestation for commercial interests. They launched their own actions after repeated warnings failed. A plague curse against loggers hit the town of Nebo. All the loggers were infected. They were extremely weak and soon lost their ability to work.

The townspeople and the Druids were at odds. The merchants of Nebo employed many adventurers to carry out a continuous attack on the Druid community, and pursued the two forests on the East and west sides of ash lake. The Druids who occupy the right time and place are very powerful. Many adventurers go to perform the task, but they are like being swallowed by the forest, and then disappear without a trace.

The huge risk has pushed up the reward of the mission, but the wealth accumulated by businessmen in the past is enough for the mission to continue. More and more adventurers are attracted to neibo town by their interests and join hands for this task. After exchanging many casualties with the Druids, they found another way to get rich.

The young and middle-aged people in neibo town are mainly lumberjacks. Under the curse of the weak plague, they can only reluctantly eat with bowls, and they can't do any work, let alone take up arms to protect themselves. Nebo's defenses have fallen to the lowest level in history, while the adventurers gathered here are the most powerful ever. Although not all the adventurers will become robbers, under the influence of some people who are willing to help the town selflessly, the honest adventurers have become a very small group.

A looting started, the whole town was in chaos, and the killing continued in the name of money. The Druid saw everything in his eyes and offered a helping hand when the townspeople were desperate. A safe passage to the forest appeared, and the beast became the protector, greatly reducing the loss of people in neibo town.

The town was almost in ruins, but above the ruins, the villagers and the Druids reached an understanding, and the crazy commercial logging became history. From the original production of wood to the processing of wood products, the use of trees has decreased, but the profit is not much different from that in the past. In addition, the townspeople began to plant trees to supplement healthy forests in a planned way, resulting in a new balance.

The pursuit of the robbers and adventurers lasted for 20 years, and all the money recovered was spent on the construction of the town. After learning this lesson, neibo town attaches great importance to dialogue and communication, and opposes the intensification of contradictions to the level of armed confrontation. Their capable and professional town guards are the powerful guarantee of this idea.

It's a town of lip service! Although it is a kind of biased slander, it can also reflect the style of the town. Because of this style, it is not difficult to understand that it has become the most inclusive and open town in the north.

The forest Zhao Mai saw along the way was replanted later. In the past, the stumps left behind by felling are still in place because the roots are still clinging to the soil and the cost of digging and cleaning is too high. Forest roads are often "gnawed" off half of the stump, not suitable for cars.

Modern transportation needs a whole system to support, and the level of gallion still stays at the level of riding and using carriage. Zhao Mai also thought of this. No, he talked with his friends while driving.

"I don't think we can park in the village. It's too risky. Such a rare thing will attract too much attention, don't you think? "

"Wang," he said, opened his eyes wide and answered very seriously.

"I beat the Gnome illusionist before, but it's mental calculation but not intentional, which doesn't represent my real ability. If other people want to plot against me and give me a Muggle, then I will be miserable

Grain reserves open mouth, tongue from the upper row of teeth licked, and then "Wang Wang" called twice.

"Oh, you don't agree? You said that with you, no one can beat me? " Zhao Mai looked at the dog with a smile and said happily, "thank you for your concern, but you are too young for me to take risks with you. It's better to be safe. "

"Woof

"I must have a brain problem to keep talking to dogs, and it's incredibly smooth." Zhao Mai pressed his face hard, and the pain of drilling his brain alerted him. "I hope it's not a sign of schizophrenia. There's too much self-sufficiency and no good end."

This is Zhao Mai's biggest worry at present. If he can't share it with others, his inner excitement will continue to accumulate and become more and more blocked. Maybe he will break the nerve defense line at any time. So he seized every opportunity to learn the common language, and constantly simulated various communication occasions with a limited vocabulary, hoping to integrate into the world as soon as possible.But the car has to be hidden. It's never a good idea to drive into town. Ranger tells Zhao Mai that he is going to neibo town through his dog legs, but he doesn't say what neibo town is like. What if there is a strong Lord who decides to rob after seeing the car? If Zhao Mai is still in the car, he is not afraid of anything. The only thing he was afraid of was what he said to the grain reserves: being beaten.

An abandoned logging field appeared on the side of the road, and many animals frightened by car horns rushed out of the half collapsed warehouse. The roads in the factory area have been destroyed for a long time. With the wind, frost, rain, snow and no one to look after, the natural forces will inevitably cover up the traces of industry.

This is a good place. After driving around, Zhao Mai didn't find any characteristics of camping or human presence. He removed a few rotten logs and parked his car in a warehouse with half the walls missing. Unless you come in and just stand next to the car, you can't see such a thing in the warehouse from the outside.

The next step is to go by yourself. Zhao Mai rummaged through the old logging yard and picked out some good long logs. He chopped and cut them and wrapped them with cloth to use them as long sticks, carrying poles and walking sticks. A worn-out unicycle can still be used if it can withstand the great creaking of friction. There was no oil in the whole logging field, so the harsh sound accompanied Zhao Mai all the way.

After leaving the logging yard, Zhao Mai walked along the old road. In about half a day, he set foot on a commercial road with wheel indentation. In the distance, behind the woods, light white smoke straight up into the sky, mixed with the clouds. That's Nebo. It's going to have hungry travelers.
