Rant decided to take over the salt mine. From the moment he completely broke through the Gray Goose camp, all of Rant's subordinates knew this. They had already reached the entrance of the salt mine, and there was no reason not to take away all the demon-loving people inside.
On the day after occupying the Gray Goose Camp, Lant independently asked all the original human demon-advocates in the camp. The earliest time these demon-advocates were sent to the camp was three years ago, and the latest was three months ago. These demon supporters all said that they had never seen anyone like Huck, and they did not know the actions of the Gray Goose tribe in the past two months. They only knew that the Gray Goose cavalry had been out frequently recently.
Lant still has not given up on finding his relatives in this world. It is not just the bond of blood. Lant has already felt that many people who are familiar with him, such as Albert and Rohr, have noticed that Lant today is different from the three Lant's thinking, cognition, and habits were very different a few months ago. Lant was not sure whether such a difference would be considered a mental breakthrough or an invasion of evil spirits in a world with gods. Nor did he know whether it would be considered a mental breakthrough or an invasion by evil spirits. If you really find out later, you will be regarded as a late bloomer, or you will be directly sent to the stake and burned clean.
Therefore, Lant must first find his father and brothers, find them, return the original people and horses in the Galloping Horse Territory, and start over with the resources obtained on the Galloping Horse Plains. In this way, there will be thousands of numbers in Lant. The people of the territory have the support of Baron Galloping Horse, so they don't have to worry about others suddenly becoming suspicious of them.
In the barbarian concept, the salt mine is located in a southwest-northeast canyon on the east side of the Benma Plain. The canyon stretches 15 kilometers from north to south. The widest point from east to west is less than 500 meters and the narrowest point is 200 meters.
The slopes on the west side of the canyon are steep but relatively low, with an average height of about 200 meters. The slopes on the east side are part of the Rocky Rough Mountains on the eastern border of the Galloping Plain, with towering mountains.
The geographical environment of the salt mine created natural reconnaissance difficulties. Neil and Canine lurked outside the southeast entrance of the valley for several days. They could only see the shadow of the barbarian camp in the valley from a distance, but they did not dare to enter for fear of alerting the enemy.
In the process of questioning the human race's demon possessors, Lant discovered that the barbarians hid the situation inside the salt mine very cleverly. The humans in the Gray Goose camp were completely separated from the humans in the salt mine. Once the demon possessors entered the salt mine, they would not be allowed to do so. Come out, and the salt transported from the salt mine once a month will not be escorted by the human race's devil-supporting people.
At that time, the only human beings who will come out of the salt mine will be the capable Laniya and a few assistants. Once these human beings enter the camp, they will be sent to the head geese or the priest's tent, and they will leave immediately after settling the accounts, and there will be no Communicate with other humans in the camp.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. The barbarian priests would go to the salt mine every quarter and would take Wendy and the girls with him. Therefore, Lant still got a rough idea of the situation in the salt mine from the mouths of Wendy and the girls.
The salt mine is located on the old river bed in the canyon. Wendy only knows that there are many stone houses built on the river bed. These stone houses are the salt wells connected to the salt veins, and the processing place is located in a human cave camp on the west mountain wall of the valley. .
There are at least 2,000 human demon-free people and 300 demon-lovers living in this cave. There are more than a dozen huge salt boiling pots and dozens of small and medium-sized salt boiling pots in the cave. The job of the demon-free people is to use these huge salt pots. The pots are used to make salt, and the demon possessors need to send large barrels filled with salt water to the cave. The job of the demon possessor is to extract the salt water from the stone house at the foot of the mountain.
There is a large camp at the southwest and northeast entrance of the valley. These two large camps are not the Gray Goose headquarters, but the barbarians who were separated from the Gray Goose tribe in the past few years or were exiled after the small tribes that the Gray Goose conquered.
These barbarians are led by Touyan's uncle and brother respectively, who are responsible for guarding the salt mines and delivering the salt produced from the salt mines to the Gray Goose headquarters outside.
This is what the little girls know about the salt mines. After all, Wendy and the others were trained as apprentices of the barbarian priests. They are not hunters and cannot investigate everywhere by themselves. The priests will not let them enter the salt mines and wander around at will.
After leaving the barbarian camp at the southwest entrance, several girls had gone to the residence of a human ascetic, Wright Doraena, and an intermediate mage, Gandalf Merlin, in the cave. These two were human priests and magicians in the camp.
Both of them arrived at the salt mine five years ago, and according to Wendy, they were not robbed or purchased by Gray Goose. They just heard that there were many humans here and came here voluntarily.
The leader of Gray Goose disliked these two people very much at first and wanted to send barbarian cavalry to drive them away, but was stopped by the old priest of Gray Goose.
After the two people arrived at the salt mine, the humans in the salt mine became very organized. The humans did not even need the management and supervision of the barbarians to maintain considerable salt production.
Listening to Wendy's introduction, Lant became more and more interested in the human race in the salt mine. He wanted to know why the human race in the salt mine could not unite and break out of the salt mine despite about 300 demon supporters.
"How can it be that easy?" Wendy also sighed. "The demon-supporters in the salt mines don't even have cloth armor. The barbarians are also afraid that they will join forces to attack the barbarian camp, so they never give the people enough food. Humans are also not allowed to own iron tools, horses and armor.
I heard Lanya say that five years ago, the barbarians would instigate those without demons and those with demons in the human race, and those with demons would fight against each other until the arrival of the ascetic monk Wright Doraena and the wizard Gandalf Merlin. After that, the internal fighting among the human race decreased. "
It seems that the barbarians have divided and weakened the human race, but can differentiation really make a group of demon-lovers who are used to being masters willing to do hard work? Lant was also very confused about Wendy's explanation.
However, during the communication, Lant discovered another thing, that is, Wendy could intuitively feel the magic turbulence. In her words, she could feel the irregular and chaotic "wind" around her. Di can also directly feel the magic patterns on Lie Huo's body, and can even understand Lie Huo's emotions.
"I'm afraid Wendy is a born magician." This was the first thing Albert said after hearing this. "When I was in the imperial capital, I heard that the blood of the legendary family could intuitively feel the flow of magic elements, and even Communicate directly with the magical fairies!”
"You just mentioned that word again." Lant caught the key word again. "What exactly is a magic fairy?"
"When you have your own territory, you can go to Maned Wolf City or Dragon Tooth City to see or buy magic fairies directly. Although I know some knowledge about magic fairies, that's just what I heard."
