There is a word "风" in the name of the western wilderness, which is indeed very suitable in Egg's opinion. Since he left the West Spring Fortress, the scenery here is completely different from the Elvin Forest. The sight is full of red and yellow soil, and the soil is soft. The imagined plain should be tens of thousands of hectares of wheat fields in two days, but in fact, there are gravel everywhere and land that cannot be cultivated. The wilderness is as its name suggests!

It is rare to see here. Apart from some travelers who are rushing along the way, there are almost no locals and fields. It was not until he quickly walked half an hour before he found a short house next to the road, and a wheat field of about 4 or 5 acres. A middle-aged man and woman were working in the fields, and a thin horse, dragging the wooden plow with heavy steps...

In order to understand some recent situations in the western wilderness, he stood off his horse, turned over and got off the horse and walked slowly forward.

"Hello fellow villager! Is it convenient to ask for a way?"

"Hello! Master, what are your instructions?"

This is a middle-aged man who looks honest. He may have suffered enough suffering. His face was covered with wind and frost, and his back seemed a little hunched in advance. The one-star mage badge worn by Aiger made his eyes lit up: "Master, are you a free mercenary?"

"Yes! I mainly want to chat with you about family matters. What is the recent situation of the western wilderness?"

The man nodded and signaled. His woman came over obediently to take the reins of the thin horse and continued to plow slowly. He rubbed his hands on the thick linen clothes nervously, and then left the field barefoot and came out to greet the noble mage.

"Sir, do you want some clear water? It was picked from the small river outside the forest. It was very clear. If you walk into the wilderness, you may never have the chance to drink such sweet river water again!"

This is a simple pot. The man carefully poured out a bowl of water from it and was about to hand it over. Aige smiled and took out a skin from his space, indicating that he had clean water to drink. Judging from the man's careful appearance, it seemed that the water source here was difficult. If he was talking about the small river on the West Spring Fortress, then Aige would understand its preciousness. He had been riding for so long, and it would be a bit far for civilians to get water.

"Brother, is there no water source nearby? If you have to get water so far, how can you plant this field?"

"I dare not take it, Master, please call me a naughty name Got."

"good!"

"The wilderness is poor, but the amount of rainfall is small. The annual rainfall can barely be kept from desertification. It is really hard to use it to cultivate crops. The soil contains too much metal content and lacks nutrients and is not fertile enough. The wheat planted will grow shells, but there is very little solidity inside."

"In my impression, isn't the western wilderness close to the sea? Why is there such a small amount of precipitation?"

"Adults don't know that the terrain of the wilderness near the coastline is very unique, and is blocked by a circle of hills that are many above the sea level. The rain that can really come is very good."

"So that's it! Then how do you farm? I'm afraid it's not enough to lean on the small river near the Elvin Forest?"

"The land near the forest is too much sand and gravel, and it is impossible to cultivate even if there is a source of water. However, there are a few good fertile fields in the middle, and the land is not that barren. The locals can draw some water out by digging deep wells on the ground. However, the amount of water has become less and less this year, so maybe it will be cut off in one year. I used to have a fertile field there, and thanks to my hard work for generations, it is quite large. People call it Got Farm there. Although I am like this now, I used to be pretty good. I have fields, houses, wives and children, and dozens of tenant farmers to help me work. My life is still pretty good."

"Oh! I can't tell that my brother was doing well before?" Egg looked at this guy with a funny look. He looked good in a typical farmer style, and he should not be the kind of person who likes to talk big.

"I won't mention the past. Since the Diafi Brotherhood broke into it, I have set my sights on my farm. One night half a year ago, a large number of thieves suddenly broke into the farm, killing people and setting fires, and I failed. Although I organized some tenants to resist, my brothers were killed and captured. I was hit hard on my chest. I didn't recover in one breath and fainted on the ground to escape. Later, after crawling out of the dead, God finally found his own wife and children. It's also a good thing for me to be smart. After I found something wrong, I packed up some things and ran out from behind with my children. Otherwise, I would never be able to get along with those killed people."

"Now a large number of thieves occupy the place and regard the farm as a stronghold. We civilians have no strength and have a home to go back now, so we have to bring Jiaxiao here and choose this land that doesn't seem so barren to reclaim. There is a turbid ditch nearby. Although it cannot be drunk, irrigating the farmland is OK, so we can barely settle down."

"Since you are a free mercenary, you can follow the road and reach Sentinel Ridge. Now it is controlled by the Western People's Army organized by Lord Storman. There are also many free mercenaries like you who will issue some valuable tasks to do, and you can report there."

"Thank you for your guidance, my destination is exactly where."

"That's good!" Gott wanted to speak, but thought it was not appropriate, so he finally endured it. Egg did not deliberately ask, there were many people in this world that had unfortunate things that happened, and he couldn't control it, and if it was unnecessary, he didn't want to.

"Shhh..."

"Honey, come and see, something is wrong with Brandt, it's almost impossible to hold on."

The old horse in the field fell down, the man jumped up, and rushed over with two steps in three steps. A man and a woman ran out of the low house, and rushed over with concern... Egg smiled bitterly, is there any scene?

It seems that it is really inconvenient for me to get out of the matter? He is also very bachelor, so he just walked over to see the situation openly.

"It's okay, Brandt is just a little weak. He has a bad appetite recently and is not used to food without the old oatmeal. I'm afraid it will hurt his stomach. As long as he can get some old oatmeal, it should be better!"

"Dad, do you know where old oatmeal is there? Nini doesn't want Brandt to die!" The little girl thought she was familiar with Lao Ma, and was making trouble.

"Our house had some warehouses in the past. I think thieves should keep some of these coarse grains, as long as they can get in..."

The man looked at Aeger with his eager eyes, and with two pairs of cute little eyes...

OK? You know it will be like this! But Ai Daren is not a bad person. There is no reason to go deep into the tiger's den for a dying old horse, and pass five passes and kill six generals just to save such an old horse, right? Isn't that a big deal?

"Master, you are a free mercenary, you must be very powerful, right? Brandt is the hope of our whole family. We are just a big beast that can be used to plow the land. Once it dies, everything is over. We are not demanding. We just need your help to sneak into the cellar behind Gott's farm and collect some old oats to cheer it up again. In fact, we have planted some this season, and when it matures, it will be able to eat it all the time. I know there is nothing valuable in the family worth posting missions to the free mercenaries, and we don't have money now. But there is a parcel in a corner of the cellar, which contains about dozens of silver coins and a pocket watch left by my father. Please be sure to pity me, the shameless guy, and help us!"

“…”

"Okay! I'll help you this time!"

Iger shamefully compromised, not because he felt sorry for the old man, nor because of the cute children, but because he received a long-lost system prompt.

Tip: Gott posts Laoma’s food mission to you, do you accept it?

Damn, is this forcing myself to be a bad person? Looking at the family's lack of thanks, I asked Mingot Farm and the location of the "treasure" and the unprincipled Aeger turned over!

Pocket watch? Heirlooms? I haven’t seen anything before? Is it rare? The system comes with the most accurate clock, will I tell people casually? Isn’t it better than this Lao Shizi’s heirloom? It’s just a broken watch, and you dare to fool people casually. What’s the matter with that package hidden in the cellar? Can you bribe the great official with dozens of silver coins? Do you know that the great official is now divided into millions? Will he give up his identity and go to the cellar for these just dozens of silver coins?

In fact, Eiger is the most principled person. His principle is that the opening remarks in "The Alchemist of Steel" follow the principle of absolute equivalent exchange: a person can get nothing without sacrifice, and in order to get something, he needs to pay the same price. This is his favorite and most believing quote. Now he has power in his hands, so he needs to make good use of this power. If the other party does not give enough conditions to attract him, why should he ask him to pay? If one day he is in a good mood, he will help others work as a foreign worker for free, but that is only occasionally.

He is willing to help others, which is the other party's blessing. He doesn't want to help others. This is his duty and no one has the right to blame him. He can't do it just because he has the ability to complete the task, right? Who stipulates it? Who has the right to accuse him?

Iger definitely doesn't want to be a bad guy, but the task given by the system has to be done. Who knows if there is a card reward after completion? Who knows? If you have a mistake in killing, don't let it go! Anyway, I'm here myself, isn't it mainly for experience and rewards? Pretend to be a noble person...

The system has begun to be tricky. Now if a task appears, it will only give a task prompt and not give a reward in advance. Compared to before, it is not at all friendly. He can choose to do the task. Now, he has no choice. Who knows whether there will be legendary cards behind an inconspicuous task?

Will Mao finally take on this task? That's because the system is paying for Gott's family, it's that simple!

Actually, Is it okay to be a real villain? Don’t always let me pretend to be a good person? The great official is crying in his heart...
Chapter completed!
