Standing on the high mountain, staring at the rapid river, Ryan finally understood why Count Weiss had not completely occupied this Otherworld for several years.
Wanting to hide it is one thing, but the real reason is because there are too many Natives in this world.
There are many powerful ones like Azure Lion Tribe and Black Bear Tribe. In almost a month, Ryan found seventeen or eight Natives tribes, with a combined population of more than 20,000.
After such a long time, Ryan finally met Northlands of Otherworld.
Like many Other Planes, the tall and majestic mountains block the harshest winter, preventing the wind and snow from covering the land in the south.
The reason why there are huge areas in this world that have never been covered by wind and snow is because Mountain Forest's country has too many mountains, and Winter's Chill is unable to continue going south.
Of course, Ryan speculates that there is also a divine role in this, which can ensure the activity of Magic Factor.
The closer to the north, the lower the activity of Magic Factor. If there is something like Mage Luna in the wind and snow, it may be difficult to break through.
Only in Mountain Forest, which is never covered by wind and snow in the south, can life like Magical Beast be born.
This last place of hope should also be Deities's means of self-rescue in this world, but currently it seems that they are arriving one step faster than Deities.
"Come on, we should go back."
Three days later, Ryan returned to the Black Bear Tribe. When Xiong, the leader of the tribe, saw Ryan arriving, he laughed and had seven or eight forest deer with a back height of three meters pulled out. In addition, there were more than a dozen fawns.
"Baron, my dear friend, Black Bear Tribe has prepared a gift for you."
Xiong was learning the way people like Ryan spoke, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw those Ryan from Lin Lu.
Along the way, he received many gifts.
"Bear, I like this gift very much."
Enzo next to him looked at those tall Linlu and his eyes almost went straight.
Holding these forest deer in hand, Ryan came to the Azure Lion Tribe. As expected, Azure Lion Tribe gave him the biggest surprise.
"Master Baron, this is the prey that our tribe has been hunting for a long time. We also lost three of our bravest warriors."
Looking at the beast in the cage, Ryan was also happy, because it was a black bear huddled together.
Not only were there black bears, but there were also a group of goats nearby. According to Cao, they found the black bears and wanted to catch the goats to eat, and then they killed them all.
Compared with the black bear, Ryan is more happy about these goats. There is only one black bear, but the goats can be cultivated to create sustainable wealth.
"Are there many goats like this?"
After hearing what Ryan said, Cao was a little confused as to why he didn't look at the black bear but asked about these goats that could only eat grass, but he still said:
"They live in groups. The group we found only has a few dozen, but there should be others over there. There are a lot of these grazing sheep there."
Ryan felt that Natives still had a lot of speaking skills to learn, but he still patiently arranged for a few attendants.
"You take them there. If there are many such goats in the place you mentioned, I can consider it a big deal."
A big deal is something that Natives can understand. It is equivalent to a comprehensive update of the entire tribe. Just like the tools and food brought by Ryan before, they consider it to be a big deal with Ryan.
"Master Baron, we will definitely help you find these goats."
On the way back to the army, there were suddenly many more beasts and animal skins, as well as Baron Ryan's own collection, the bones of those beasts.
"This time, you should be able to compare with them, right?"
Baron Enzo was a little excited. They didn't do anything, but the tribes were already rushing to give them a lot of prey. The animal skins that had been preserved for decades also fell into Ryan's hands. This was cleaner than looting.
And there were no casualties at all. At most, there were only accidents that occurred while the troops were walking.
"This is not just our stuff, it needs to be distributed to those nobles."
The soldiers behind Ryan were made up of many nobles. Naturally, part of his harvest must be counted among them.
The key thing is that even if there are no these soldiers, Ryan will give a share to the nobles.
Because when these "gifts" are given, the contract will also be delivered to the hands of those nobles.
Don't forget that the deal between the Ryan and Natives tribes was reached in the name of all the nobles. It doesn't matter what Natives thinks, anyway, in Ryan, none of the nobles of Northwind Province can escape.
"You still want to give out so much?"
Baron Enzo looked at the proportions divided by Ryan with a very reluctant expression.
They have gained too much. There are more than 7,000 sets of exquisite animal skins stored by a dozen tribes over the past few decades. Each set sold to those chambers of commerce can make a profit ranging from a dozen to hundreds of Gold Coin, and most of them are worth dozens of Gold Coin.
Natives people don't know how to take care of it, and their skinning methods are very rough. Even so, it has such huge value, but Ryan actually wants to give away 80% of it, and both counts have a share.
There is also prey. The black bear will give Viscount Walter to Iron Mountain County. Among the remaining prey, Ryan only keeps the goats and forest deer.
"Why are you in a hurry? I've given you a lot."
Ryan laughed, then played with the red stone in his hand and said playfully:
"The real value in this world is not just these prey."
Enzo looked at the stone in Ryan's hand, and then gradually opened his eyes.
"Amber Jade?"
Empire nobles don't play with jade, not because they don't like it, but because jade is often an item in the magic circle.
The most common jade stones are all magic materials or Mages media, while the price of high-end jade stones is extremely high.
Because each type of high-grade jade has a unique function, it is a priceless treasure for those who need it, but it can only be used as a collection for those who don't need it.
"It's not just this."
Ryan took out another rough stone, and the power belonging to Silver Knight kept tightening. The stone was broken inch by inch, revealing a little bit of golden sand.
Enzo's eyes were opened as wide as possible, but he stopped shouting at this moment and stared at the gold in Ryan's hand.
After a long time, he looked up and saw Ryan's meaningful smile.
"You don't... want to keep it to yourself."
"How is that possible?"
After Ryan finished speaking, Baron Enzo seemed to be relieved, but the next moment he heard Ryan continue:
"Isn't this also you?"
