In the forest, the three masters and servants, traveling lightly and simply dressed, not only had to avoid the natural hunting creatures in nature, but also the pursuers from the human world.
Breaking into the secret forest where royal hunting events are held is a last resort. Because it is too unsafe to walk in a human town, and you have to be prepared to be recognized by spies at all times.
The day before, I thought that as long as I put on civilian clothes, without the ornaments of the noble heraldry, and left the imperial capital, a city with as many nobles as dogs, I would not be recognized in a gathering place where ordinary people gathered. Who?
I know this is just a self-righteous wish.
In the past, the biggest difficulty in all evacuation plans was how to leave the imperial capital. As long as they could successfully get out of the city gate, it was basically difficult for the pursuers to find their targets. Because outside the imperial capital, those in the imperial capital could still be recognized.
There are not many people like you who live a noble life.
Maybe the servants at all levels in the imperial capital can do it. But how can people who have lived in other towns or rural areas for most of their lives recognize a nobleman who may never see him once in his life? To ordinary people, he is a superior noble.
In the old days, even if a wanted poster was drawn with a human face, it was limited by the skill of the painter. Whether you could find the person according to the picture actually had to take some luck. As for this kind of temporary pursuit of targets who have escaped from the imperial capital, except for
Scatter out the helpers who already know the target person. When the person's profile is drawn and sent to various locations, I'm afraid the target will have already escaped and there will be no time to pursue him.
However, compared with today, the biggest difference is the rise of forums. Although this thing is mainly text messages, sending one or two pictures will not explode the magic stone that opens the forum browser.
In order to build the Forum Mall in Xijia District, southwest of Midland, people also developed the technology of photographing products. Since you can take pictures of objects, it is not surprising that you can take pictures of people.
Therefore, the picture of the magic man chasing Marquis Farshid was instantly transmitted to all parts of the empire through the convenience of the forum, and was in the hands of the people of the Rizal family who were responsible for chasing the Marquis. Because it was shot on location, there were no painters and
The question of whether it is realistic or not. Even if you are not a full-time member of the pursuit team, as long as you are related to the Rizal family, you can become an informant and form a tight dragnet.
The Marquis who was on the run discovered that no matter where he went, he would be recognized. At first, he thought it was a spy in the family who leaked his whereabouts.
But when he saw the pursuer opening the water mirror screen of the forum and chasing him more and more closely, how could he not think of the problem? Although the Marquis was not a heavy user of the forum, as a
It was impossible for him not to understand the fastest tool for information circulation.
It was precisely by understanding the convenience and popularity of the forum that I understood what kind of situation I was in. I had no choice but to plunge into this royal hunting ground.
Although the secret forest has a royal title in the imperial records, it is not actually enclosed and no one is allowed to enter and hunt animals. Instead, it should be said that the vitality here is too strong and the reproductive capacity is amazing. If it is left alone for a certain period of time, it will
A tide of beasts will form and attack where humans gather.
Therefore, led by the royal family, nobility of all sizes are regularly summoned to hold hunts every year. In addition to being used for military training, it can also reduce the number of wild beasts and magical beasts in the forest, collect available magic materials, and at the same time reduce the probability of beast tides, so as not to harm neighboring towns.
The reason why this forest is not clear... can only be said that the living footprints of the lost humans are not as full as the earth, so full that they have to compete with nature for space. Moreover, the forest and the mountains behind it are vast, no different from a small country; in addition
The terrain is complex, and even if regular regiments are deployed, it will be more difficult to clear than to attack other countries.
Secondly, for ordinary adventurers and mercenaries, this is an excellent production place for beast magic materials. As long as it can be effectively controlled and restricted, no one will want to kill the chicken that lays the golden eggs and replace it with another one.
From a perspective, this is a restricted area for ordinary people, and it is quite dangerous to walk in it.
Breaking into such a place, the Marquis's intention was to reduce the number of pursuers and informants as much as possible. At least in this forest where monsters are rampant, there would be no children, beggars or people who would betray their whereabouts for a few Dunba (copper) rewards.
hawker.
But in their haste, the three Marquises failed to make sufficient preparations. They were dressed in leather armor, standard swords, fire, and blankets, and just broke into the forest.
Fortunately, the three of them are not pampered young men. Even the Marquis, who has the highest status, has endured hardships under his father's upbringing. Although he has never been an adventurer and traveled around, he still has the skills to survive in the wild.
.
Maybe the three of them are no better than those old hunters when it comes to hunting Warcraft. But whether they don't let themselves become prey or fight when necessary, the three of them have a better chance of survival than most hunters and adventurers.
high.
It's just that... this matter was out of control from the beginning. It would be a lie to say that the Marquis had no resentment in his heart. Especially after escaping from the imperial capital, what would happen to the people left behind? Just imagine, in his heart
Full of apologies.
If I had more time, I would be able to make better arrangements. Instead of being like this, running away is not enough to describe my embarrassment. I would rush into the forest, but I was actually looking for trouble from wild beasts or monsters.
Let out the violent anger in your heart.
In the secret forest, there are areas suitable for large groups to hunt. But that also means that the roads are convenient, which is of course not conducive to people who want to hide their traces and escape. So the three Marquis Farshid chose another direction. That's right.
A place where some old hunters or a small number of elite adventurers would go
In this forest area full of towering trees, because it is sparsely populated, there are no major roads to speak of. At most, they are trails that hunters regularly walk, and more often than not, they are paths used by wild animals.
Although this is a natural world, there is no such thing as a ferocious beast at every three steps or a magical beast at every five steps. The ecosystem of Midland will still abide by the most basic principles. The territory of carnivorous animals will not be too dense or too dense.
Overlapping, after all, ensures sufficient food. If there is not enough food, they will expand outward. When the scale of expansion is large enough, a so-called beast tide is formed.
Therefore, although the secret forest is considered dangerous by ordinary people, in the eyes of experienced hunters, there are still safe passages. However, such passages are not fixed and may change at any time due to the change of beasts occupying the territory. Therefore, we must rely on
The heritage and experience of hunters can be used to determine where the safe path is at the moment.
Although the Marquis and his party had also learned relevant knowledge, they were not as clever as professional hunters after all. As they went deeper into the forest and walking became more and more difficult, the speed that should have slowed down was not at all slower than before. When Cha
Marquis Farshid was quite surprised when he realized that this phenomenon was contrary to the expected situation.
The only explanation is that the subordinate who led the way was very familiar with the forest, so that the group could always find the right direction and avoid taking more wrong paths.
