Chapter 41 The City of Mines

Riding a griffin, Jenna traveled through the sky and crossed wild mountains.

The airflow in the sky quickly took away the heat on the surface of her body, she wrapped her thick leather jacket tightly around her body, and occasionally some snowflakes fell from the cloakroom. The hand holding the reins was already frozen red, and even wearing gloves could not stop the biting cold wind, only the magic power flowing out of the extraordinary core exuded a slight heat to prevent the fingers and body from being completely frozen.

It's a pity that the heat emitted by this magic power is still a drop in the bucket. Today's Jenna is only War Sequence 2 Wildwind Swordsman (Excellent Black Iron Rank), and she is extremely weak after changing the sequence, not the state at the end of last year.

Sequence of War 2: Wild Wind Swordsman, this position is not powerful, and there are not many additional abilities. Of course, the difficulty of promotion is also low. It is generally the choice of mercenaries or extraordinary people in remote areas. The reason why Jenna chose this is also because of the influence of what she learned at home when she was a child.

She originally wanted to make the transition, and after studying in school for a period of time, she would choose an extraordinary career agency that she was suitable for and good at, but unfortunately she encountered a sudden situation that forced her to interrupt her plan.

After a day and a night of flying, spanning a distance of thousands of kilometers, with the help of this griffin, she overcame the many barriers of the Sigh Mountains, and finally saw the scenery of her hometown, a country surrounded by mountains and lakes.

The flapping of its wings lifted the fallen leaves among the trees, and the griffin descended slowly.

Zena turned down from above, took out the pre-prepared food, fed the big guy, and then touched its neck.

"Thanks a lot."

The gray-maned and white-feathered griffin looked at the girl in front of her, pecking at the food that was handed over. After eating, it chirped, then fluttered its wings and disappeared into the sky. It will return to Emenas on its own.

Rubbing her stiff face, Jenna endured her physical exhaustion and walked towards the path in the mountains towards her hometown.

----

"what?"

After returning to the vicinity of her home, she only saw a locked empty fortress, and her father and several brothers were not there, which made her scream in surprise.

"Oh, it's Miss Zena, didn't you go to school?" asked a guard with a halberd stationed nearby.

"I heard there was turmoil in Heiyan, so I rushed back."

"So it is, but the leader has taken many brothers to the west of Fengyan City, and the coalition forces of our halberd faction are attacking that place."

"But didn't my father say that he would not join a certain faction?" Jenna was a little puzzled. She had only been away for less than two months, so why did everything change.

"The situation doesn't allow it. Frost Rose intervenes. The strength of the Long Halberd faction is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't join, we will become its enemies, so we can only stand in line. After standing in line, we are immediately called by the commander in the faction. Go there and join the siege army."

"Will there be any danger?" Zena asked.

"I don't know." The guard shook his head.

Jena couldn't, so she had to ask some people around.

Their family has lived in this small mountain town for generations. It is also a small local noble family. It has its own small castle. Although it is not big, it is not bad. It is famous locally, so it is owned by some captains who also go out as mercenaries. Be the leader.

It's a pity that this place is remote and the news is not very well-informed. No one knows how the battle situation on the front line is now, and Jenna had to take a short rest for a day, and then advance to the west side of the principality again the next day.

---------

Crancia, Nedshire.

Roland Hill's motorcade continued to drive, and they came to the city where the mine accident happened, where many people gathered now. Some are extraordinary people drawn from places by Crancia, and some are adventurers attracted by the bounty.

In fact, those giant worms are not strong in combat, but they are mainly underground, and it is difficult to find and kill them. Ordinary people couldn't beat it, but after the superhuman arrived, it ran away again, causing a headache.

After the team stopped, the team members went to various places skillfully, recorded and inspected the local situation, and recorded them into sheets. And Roland Hill also put on a slightly plain coat, walked into the street, and looked around.

"This time the incident of demon beasts has been going on for almost two months. If it continues like this, our output this year will have to drop significantly, and we will lose a lot when it does." Several miner leaders were talking.

"Yeah, I finally managed to set up the structure this year, and there have been many fewer mining accidents. I didn't expect such a few strange monsters to appear. No one has seen it before."

"Looking at the local official reward is getting higher and higher, but no one can solve it."

"I heard that the 'red claw' in the east is very powerful, how about inviting him?"

"It is said that the official Crancia also sent someone to inquire, but the person said that he wanted to protect the local village and could not walk away at will, and he didn't seem to be interested in money."

"It's really rare, is he very powerful?"

"It's very powerful. It is said to be a Sequence 5, but sometimes it can compete with some Sequence 6 monsters, so the mountains in the east are much more stable now."

"It's a pity that such a person has been staying in that remote place."

"But people are willing to do it themselves, and it's not easy for others to force it."

....

As the few people dispersed, Roland Hill moved forward again. This is the second time she has heard of that special superhuman. Is the nickname 'Red Claw'? .

Then she shook her head again, went to the side of the street, and looked at the scattered shops.

Compared to inland cities, here

There are a lot of ore debris scattered on the streets of the city, which seem to be scattered by the carriage of the haulage. The architectural style of the whole city also reveals a dark gray, with few bright colors.

Many residents in the city are miners, and there are relatively few other occupations. In order to resist dirt during mining, their clothes are mostly black, gray, navy blue, etc., and there are few bright colors.

Most of the shops here sell practical tools, wear-resistant clothing and the like, and there are basically no luxury goods.

People's lives are also quite simple. Mining, eating and drinking, resting, and mining are basically the same cycle. In the past West Wind, they were like this. Now that Crancia rules the country, although the time is a little more abundant than before, it doesn’t have to be so hard, but the work of mining that depends on it still cannot be abandoned.

Although a bit tiring and more dangerous, what other options are there in this remote city.

After investigating and watching, Lorraine Hill returned to where she lived. She decided to fly to the eastern area alone tomorrow to have a look. If the caravan was to be stationed in the city temporarily, there was no need to go over the mountains and walks into the small intestines.

The mountain road over there is steep and not suitable for carriage.

I hope to find the person nicknamed 'Red Claw', if I guess correctly, he should be the boy in the girl's memory.
