The strong wind blew through the trees, sighing like ghosts, and the air was filled with the smell of ripe fruits.
The summer in the Black Forest is short, only three months. Within three months, the temperature will rise, the fruits of various plants will mature, and the seeds will germinate at this time, which is the water that falls on the ground during these three months.
Only then will rain fall instead of falling in the form of snowflakes. For the black forest, this is a precious time for growth and expansion. The recovery of all things brings food, and various animals and herds increase.
A team of nearly a hundred people hunted in the forest, and the supplies they obtained did not even have time to be transported out. They had to pile them up and send people to guard them in the camp. At present, almost everyone in this team has an animal skin, which can be
It can keep warm at night and repel the cold, and can be used as a simple leather armor. Iron armor is still scarce for Rhodes. However, this situation will soon improve. As long as Roberts successfully sails the ship back, Black Hammer Castle will
Have funds to purchase enough armor and weapons.
The hunting that lasted all day made Rhodes a little tired. He lay down under a big tree to rest and stared at the sky.
The sky here is completely different from the sky on Earth. It has a huge moon and a charming and gorgeous Milky Way. The rays of stars are visible to the naked eye.
Just like on the earth, the stars here are divided into several constellations by people on the earth. The difference is the shape and name of the constellations. Rhodes is not sensitive to astronomy. He looked at them for a long time and didn't see anything special about these stars.
Arrangements and combinations. Just according to the observation and classification of scholars, the stars in the sky can be roughly divided into twenty constellations.
Represented by the Painter's Line, the Bull, the Dragon, the Dusk, the Drunken Sheep, etc. The Painter's Line, from an observation point of view, is a relatively simple constellation, it is like a bow archer.
, appears in late winter to early spring.
It is said that people born under this constellation are mostly strict and self-disciplined and meticulous in their work. If this is true, people born in this month should really become craftsmen, doctors, lawyers, archers and other similar professional workers. But the reality is that many painters are not
People born under the zodiac sign have not become these professional people, but have all kinds of jobs. You know, in the Empire and Bretonnia, farmers are the largest population. Even if you have talents in this area, in the end you may still be
I can only be a farmer. After all, there are only a few in big cities and job opportunities are very limited.
The Ox constellation is very easy to understand. Its astrology looks like an old cow plowing the fields. It usually appears in early spring. It is said that people born under this constellation have loyal, honest, and tenacious characters. They are suitable for becoming knights and knights.
Soldier. Although many people do not agree with it, there is a saying in Bretonnia that the knight will ask his birth constellation when choosing his followers. If the person is born under the zodiac sign of the Ox, the knight will take special care of him.
The Dragon constellation can be said to be a symbol of the strong. This constellation has no fixed time of appearance and is elusive. On a summer night, when you sit in your wheat field and look up at the stars, if you suddenly see many stars arranged into a towering dragon
, then congratulations on successfully witnessing the appearance of the Dragon Constellation.
However, the appearance of this constellation is mostly not a good thing. It warns people in the old world that disasters and wars are coming. The appearance of the Dragon Constellation is very short, and few people will be born at this time. However, it is said that people born at this time
People with this point will be bold and confident. When they grow up, they will be strong and strong, with unwavering faith and outstanding leadership skills. In other words, when God brings down disasters, it also brings down a savior... Rhodes doesn’t know
It doesn't matter whether he belongs to this constellation or not, he doesn't believe it.
There are many other constellations of this kind. For example, the Witch will appear when the evil moon comes. People born during this period are said to have strong magical talents. However, because it appears at the wrong time, Mosrib is not suitable for most people.
It is a symbol of disaster and evil, so in some remote areas, fanatical religious elements will strangle babies born during this time...
In addition, each constellation has its own stories and legends. In the libraries of the empire's big cities, there are also encyclopedias specifically describing the constellations. These encyclopedias are usually not sold to the outside world, but there are a few scholars who put them in the library for their livelihood and gold.
They are sold in the market. However, there are only a few people who can afford to buy them. This is because there are very few literate people in both the empire and Bretonnia. At the same time, because it involves knowledge, the price of books is also extremely high. Sometimes
The price of a book is equivalent to a whole year's income of ordinary workers and farmers. Therefore, many times, people obtain astrological knowledge through word of mouth.
On winter nights, when sitting around the fire with nothing to do, you can chat about these mysterious and interesting stories. This can relieve the entertainment-less time in the countryside.
Counting the stars, Rhodes fell asleep.
However, just when Rhodes was about to fall asleep, something strange in the forest caught his attention.
The sound came very quickly, and the earth began to tremble.
With rich combat experience, Rhodes immediately realized that this was no ordinary beast herd, but an organized and large-scale battle group.
"Get ready for war!"
Rhodes pulled out his sword and roared loudly. The surrounding Norscan raiders also stood up in alarm. They threw away the food in their hands and, like Rhodes, instantly drew the weapons from their waists.
Soon, the attack came very quickly.
The first beastman sprang out from the woods. It was a low-level hornless beast, but soon, the second and third beastmen appeared one after another. Like a swarm of insects, piles of beastmen suddenly appeared from all directions.
Surrounded Rhodes and his Norscan raiding army.
They roared and without declaring war at all, they launched a siege on the human army that was deep in the forest.
A retaliatory attack.
Rhodes knew that perhaps his raids had driven the wild beasts and various strange beasts in the forest to a dead end. At this moment, the number of wild beasts that was twice the number of Norscans was rushing towards him...
