If there are not enough resources and it is really impossible, we can only find ways to get them from further away.
Since there is human civilization in this world, as well as institutions such as city-states and countries, how can we say that they were not built out of thin air, right?
Finding a powerful native from another world who can communicate with you in a friendly manner to "borrow" some supplies cannot be called a crime no matter how you think about it.
And once again reading the aboriginal memories shared by Owen Rhodes, Zeger discovered that the main peak of the mountain range where they were born was called "Black Wind Mine". In the impressions of those who died, there seemed to be some "Warcraft" in this place.
"The terrifying monster exists.
(It’s really similar to the medieval magical world background in the novel.)
In this regard, Zeger could only complain helplessly.
On the eastern periphery of the Black Wind Mine is the endless sea of ghost reefs, and to the west is the Dongze Empire, the motherland of these dead people.
However, Dongze is not a powerful country.
According to popular perception, there are only three most powerful countries in the world.
The first is the Great Gust Empire, which borders Dongze, and the Dongze Empire needs to depend on it to survive.
The second is the Black Rose Empire, which is covered in ice and snow to the north and is famous for its magic inheritance.
The third one is further west, the extremely mysterious Holy See State with unique humanities and customs, rarely seen in the world.
Each of these three countries controls the most powerful military power in the world.
A man with terrible magic that scares the world.
The last one is even rumored to possess the power of the gods.
However, due to the limitations of their cognitive abilities, these people who died near the Black Wind Mine only knew so much about the world situation.
The information they care more about is just how business is going this year, what the domestic economic situation is like, and when is the right time to ship goods - these people are all short-distance traders.
The reason why he died nearby was just because he learned a while ago that there was good business in Alek Town at the foot of the Blackwind Mine Mountains, so the merchants prepared carefully for a long time.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I met a group of gangsters who robbed goods.
Although the guards of the trading company tried their best to save some people from escaping, they still left behind some owners who were unfortunately shot to death by stray arrows. Several guards who were not very skilled also lost their lives due to the plot of enemies who could use magic.
Zeger read the memories of those robbers and guard warriors again, and they were very monotonous.
Among the former, there were no magicians among the dead gangsters, they were just scum who spent their days robbing houses, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
There are no elites who can cast spells among the latter. Most of these guards spent the first half of their lives inheriting the inheritance and mantles of their elders and honing their martial arts skills for a long time. After completing their studies, they made a living in the chamber of commerce, and some even did knife licking.
A bloody mercenary, but in the end he defected to the arms of a big businessman with better treatment.
There were no famous figures among these bodyguard warriors, and in their memories, they did not even think that they had done anything significant.
But Zeger finally discovered something.
The memory of one of the strong men who was hit in the head by an arrow clearly recorded that a few days before he went on the mission, he had mastered a martial art called "Air Shield", and he was proud of it in front of his companions for several days.
.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The person who taught him this martial art was also a half-hearted person, and the tips on how to display fighting spirit were not sufficiently explained.
This time when he encountered a powerful robber, the strong man's newly learned air shield failed to be used successfully at the critical moment, and as a result, his shiny bald head was shot through...
(Hiss, a magical world with magic and fighting spirit...)
Turning off these memories, Zeger fell into deep thought. You can clearly see that his brows furrowed deeper after learning this information.
"It seems that people in this world are really not easy to deal with." He sighed.
At the same time, the springtail sisters have returned from what they learned from Owen Rhodes.
"Huh? How did you learn so fast?" Zege was extremely surprised. Could it be that these two little girls are geniuses in terms of IQ? Then he, the master, would be a little embarrassed.
But I saw that the two girls were just giggling, a little shy and embarrassed.
"I have tried my best to educate them." At this time, Owen Rhodes came over with a bitter face, "But they can only remember what is edible and what is not edible in the human world. The rest depends on their brains.
I can’t remember it at all!”
Zege was stunned when he heard this.
Aren't these two girls respectful and courteous to themselves? It doesn't seem like they have intellectual problems.
Suspicious, he decided to try it himself.
"Zegoling, come here." He waved to the two sisters. The girl with lighter skin looked at her sister, and then stepped forward and walked out.
Zeger smiled at her and said, "Do you think this kind of thing is edible?" He demonstrated a spell-casting movement, which he learned exactly from the movements of spell-casters in this world. Among the valuable memories left by the dead, this
This is a very important point.
Zegoring looked at Zege and tilted his head, as if trying to figure out the master's intentions.
After a second, she shook her head resolutely and said frankly that this kind of human being was dangerous and should not be eaten.
"Hmm." Zeger's smile became even brighter and he continued: "What about this kind?" He also gestured like a warrior wielding a sword, pretending to be fierce.
"You can't eat it." Zegorin quickly got used to this kind of test and shook his head again.
He also called the other member of the Springtail sisters over, and Zeger tested them in turn.
After doing it one after another, he found that although the two sisters really only cared about "eating" and "not eating" as Owen Lord said, other things seemed not to interest them at all.
But at least, other than that, there is no big problem with their concepts. They know what dangers are, what are untouchable existences, and they also know how to escape.
Considering that their current appearance is that of human little girls in their early teens, it would not be too strange to behave like this in an underdeveloped human society.
So Zeger scratched his head and decided to carry out the original plan.
He has discovered that as the surrounding resources have been mined, the worker bees have explored farther and farther away, and as a result, the rate of resource acquisition has slowed down.
It can be seen that the barren mountains may not be a good habitat for insects. If you want to build a strong army, you cannot stop at the present.
Although he was still a little worried about the two sisters, Zeger also understood that it would not be a good thing for these subordinates if they were not allowed to see the world and grow further.
Therefore, after training these subordinates for a period of time, he finally watched Owen Rhodes lead the two sisters into the dark jungle down the mountain.
"Master, we will definitely fulfill our mission and bring you good news."
Before leaving, Owen Rhodes bowed deeply to Zeger.
The springtail sisters waved goodbye. It seemed like they didn't understand human etiquette. They might just be obsessed with eating.
Zeger happily waved to them to see them off, and shouted for the first time to remind them to be careful in the human world.
Due to the distance, he could no longer notice the two sisters' faces glowing with excitement.
Later, Owen Lord recorded this day in his memoirs like this:
"After careful consideration, the great master entrusted me with an important mission. Although this is a small step for me personally, it is a giant step for the entire insect swarm."
