Nie Yan was riding his flying mount while checking the three items in his backpack.
The first item is a map woven from brocade. Spread out the map. What is depicted on it is the full topography of the Abernethy Prairie, with mountains, rivers, lakes, grasslands, etc. all marked. A large area in the center is marked with
The circle drawn with golden lines is his territory.
I patrolled the Abernethy Prairie and finally confirmed the location of the border line.
The second thing was a lord contract certificate, which was Nie Yan's proof of being a lord.
These two things are bound to him. With these two things, he is the real lord here.
As for the third thing, Nie Yan took it out. It was a prismatic crystal fragment, emitting a glistening green light. The front end was tapered, like a sharp dagger. When Nie Yan took it out
In an instant, it emits a dazzling green light, and a powerful unknown force rushes towards you.
"What is this?" Bright Daoguang asked doubtfully.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to this crystal fragment.
"The fragment of Jobia's scepter." Nie Yan looked at its attributes and said in surprise.
"Jobia is the emperor of the Greenland Empire? Why is it in your hands?"
"Yeah, logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be in the hands of Emperor Jobia? He's not dead. Things like the scepter will generally not break unless he dies."
After hearing their discussion, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows. What did this crystal fragment mean? It was too early to speculate now, so he put away the crystal fragment.
Nie Yan and others discovered a very large tribe. Thousands of white tents were stretched out on the grassland. There were many people walking around. There were some herdsmen grazing outside, and groups of cattle and sheep were on the grassland.
Wandering.
"Let's go down and have a look." Nie Yan said, this is the largest tribe they have seen since entering the Abernathy Prairie.
They landed slowly in the open space in the center of the tribe. Six large flying mounts made the empty square suddenly become crowded.
Immediately, some guards wearing simple leather armor and holding bows and arrows rushed up and surrounded Nie Yan and others.
A tall, middle-aged man with abrupt muscles all over his body and extremely strong walked over. He was holding a huge long bow in his left hand and a short sword in his right hand. He looked at Nie Yan and others.
"This is the territory of the Kawanas tribe. I am Sampour, the leader of the Kawanas tribe. Stranger, please show your identity, otherwise you will be regarded as an enemy by the Kawanas tribe." The middle-aged man shouted.
shouted.
The atmosphere in the square suddenly became tense.
Some players in the distance pointed and pointed. Some of them recognized Nie Yan and were watching the development of the situation.
Although this area is the border area between the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire, there are still many players entering this area. They have established good relations with the tribes of the Abernathy Prairie, doing tasks here, and completing quests.
Monster leveling, selling trophies, etc. However, everyone who enters here must be recognized by the local tribe.
"Dear Chief Semple, I come from Carol City in the Greenland Empire. This is proof of the contract jointly granted by the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire." Nie Yan took out the Lord's Contract.
The middle-aged man named Semple showed a somewhat doubtful expression. He took the lord contract from Nie Yan's hand, checked it, returned it to Nie Yan, put his right hand on his chest, bowed, and said:
"Dear Lord, Mr. Nieyan, welcome to Cabanas."
Seeing Sample bowing to Nie Yan, the surrounding guards holding bows and arrows immediately put down their bows and bowed to Nie Yan just like Semple.
When Nie Yan appeared here, the players in the distance understood that everything here was about to change. The Abernathy Prairie would change from a border zone with no control over it to a player territory. Some people had already decided to leave.
Some people were ready to stay and see what Nie Yan would turn this place into.
Nie Yan, Cui Can Dao Guang and others looked at each other, and it turned out that the lord contract worked.
However, every tribe here has its own rules for dealing with affairs. Nie Yan cannot mobilize them at will. The position of lord is only a deterrent. If he does not establish his own army, within the three-month protection period, even if the angel hegemony does not take action
, these tribes will also shake Nie Yan's dominance.
"Dear Lord, please come with me. Cabanas will use the best wine and the most beautiful women to entertain the most distinguished guests." Semple said, and with a wave of his hand, the guards holding bows and arrows moved aside.
a road.
Nie Yan glanced at Semple. For some reason, he felt a hint of unfriendliness in Semple's expression. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood that his arrival would compete with the tribes in this territory for control of the land.
It is difficult to gain support. It seems that becoming the lord of a land is not that simple.
As soon as he heard the word "woman", his youthful eyes lit up with desire, and he asked: "The most beautiful woman that this big patriarch said is not the kind of stunning NPC beauty, right?" I have to say that faith uses data.
The simulated NPC beauties are all very charming and make people salivate. However, under normal circumstances, players do not dare to have any delusions about NPC beauties. If they are caught by the guards, it will be tragic.
"Don't think about it. If you don't look at the women in this tribe, they all look like buffaloes. I guess their beauties are not much better." The water-colored cigarette butt mercilessly poured desire into the youth.
Got a head of cold water.
The bright sword light looked at Nie Yan and said softly: "Why do I feel that this leader of Sampor is not very friendly to us?"
"It feels the same as me, let's continue watching." Nie Yan said, even if Chief Sampur was very unfriendly to them, he could not do anything to them. After all, Nie Yan was the lord of this land.
"Um."
The group of people followed the leader of Sampour, walked through the uneven road between the tents, and walked towards a huge golden tent in the distance.
The residents here are not wealthy, which can be seen from their clothes. After seeing the leader of Sampour, the residents lay on the ground on both sides, trembling and afraid to move.
Looking at this scene, Nie Yan was thoughtful.
They walked for a few minutes, and a group of more than ten people came over. They were ten fully armed guards, escorting a young man who was tied up with ropes. This young man had a strong build and only wore a shabby shirt.
The trousers, the upper body is exposed, the skin is dark, but the muscles are strong, covered with whip marks, new wounds and old wounds intertwined in a criss-cross pattern.
"Yalop, later you will experience how wonderful death is. Your body will be cut into pieces of flesh and fed to the vultures flying in the sky." A guard screamed, making a strange noise.
laughter.
"I am not guilty." The young man named Yalop tried to break free from the rope, but to no avail.
"You are not guilty. Your biggest fault is that you have a beautiful wife. She is too enchanting."
The guards laughed mockingly.
When they saw the oncoming Sampur, they immediately fell silent and bowed one after another: "Dear Chief Sampur, Yalop has committed the crime of theft, and we are taking him to the execution ground."
Semple's eyes were like a hawk, staring at Yalop's face, and said after a while: "Although you are the most powerful warrior in Cabanas, I am not willing to put you to death, but everyone must be guilty of his crimes.
He must bear the responsibility for his crime and be executed within half an hour.”
Nie Yan and the young man named Yalop faced each other's eyes. In Yalop's eyes, there was an incomprehensible hatred and unruliness.
There were three scars on Yalop's face that almost ran through his entire cheek. There was a very clear mark on the left side of his face with the word "slave" written on it.
In the Greenland Empire, people were executed every day. This was not the first time that Nie Yan had encountered such a thing.
When he passed by Yalop, Nie Yan felt a heavy pressure coming towards him. This Yalop was definitely a strong man.
"Dear Chief Sampour, what crime did this man commit?" Nie Yan asked.
"He committed the crime of theft and stole items from several families." Semple looked at Nie Yan, with a dark and sinister look in his eyes.
"If it's just theft, it shouldn't be punishable by death, right?" Nie Yan said.
"Just the crime of theft is not punishable by death, but he is a slave. In Cabanas, if a slave commits the crime of theft, he will be sentenced to death. Because he was a warrior before and defeated the Crelans, he was given
He ***." Semple said calmly.
The water-colored cigarette butts and the bright sword light made people's hearts skip a beat. This Semple was definitely a ruthless guy. He sentenced a person to death, but he said it so naturally, as if it was a gift.
"Dear Chief Sample, as the lord of Abernathy Prairie, do I have the power to pardon a person's death penalty?" Nie Yan looked at Sample and said, from the moment Yalop appeared, he seemed to feel
A kind of fateful power. He reacted immediately and saved Yalop!
This incident was a part of his mission to truly become the leader of Abernethy Prairie.
"Yes, without a doubt." Sample stared at Nie Yan, his eyes flickering, and finally nodded.
The title of lord still has a certain deterrent effect.
"I want to pardon Yallop. As the lord of the Abernathy Prairie, I forgive him!" Nie Yan said. He understood that he and Semple could not get along since he rescued Yallop.
Dealing with NPCs is really a tiring thing.
After a while, Yalop, who had just walked away, was brought back by the guards.
