Chapter 117: Barbarians of the North
Chapter 116 – Northland Barbarians
The Great Tree Cave Tavern is divided into two parts, the largest below, in order to expand the area is a semi-underground structure, making full use of the space supported by the huge underground root system, so when you go in, you can still see the thick roots like pillars across the room, as well as the densely packed like a grid of fine roots on the surrounding walls.
Because the layout is reasonable, it does not look depressing, even the dim environment has been solved by the lantern grass, dozens of small round tables are placed under the eyes, and there are also small private compartments, together with the bar that is directly facing the door, it looks very distinctive.
The upper part is not a hollowed out interior space, after all, we have to consider the strength of the giant tree itself, don’t break it, so it’s a small room connected through the cane corridor that surrounds the outside of the tree, some of them look like squirrel holes, some of them look like bird’s nests, and more of them are treehouses, just like the whole town’s style, blending in with nature.
With such a design, the entire Big Tree Cave Tavern is able to accommodate two to three hundred people for drinking and living, calling it a tree house is not an exaggeration, and it is enough to satisfy the needs of most people from the inside to the outside.
Unfortunately, now in addition to some of the rest of the kobolds leisurely order a cup of ale, there are no other guests, do not see the kobold bartender is bored with rubbing the wine cups, Slime maid while mopping the floor while spitting bubbles, and even the magic horn kobold security guards are dozing off little by little, if it is a store, I’m afraid that to lose money to death.
Walking out of the Big Tree Hole Tavern, Owen refused the Goblin General’s follow and came to the Witch School alone.
Witch school cast a muggle expulsion spell, of course, only this I’m afraid that the pattern of adventurers is not enough insurance, so in addition to the muggle expulsion spell, there are other means, such as plants and zombies in the plants and zombies, and kobolds set up sophisticated traps and witches cast a variety of curses, and finally is responsible for the garrison of the witch hunter, really broke into it, I’m afraid of the nine lives are not enough.
Owen walked into the school area, the first thing he felt was the tranquility, because these persecuted witches are most eager to live a quiet life, so they treat life seriously, not only all the places are cleaned spotlessly, all around are also full of plants, but after all, they are witches, and many plants are quite dangerous, the least of which is the mushrooms that will see the little man if you eat them.
In addition, there are also many magical animals here, such as the tree protector Luo pot, Puchongjiu, evil woman bird, these are Dale greenhouse bred, given to the witch school to let the little witches care, so that they have a spiritual support, and in the meantime, to expand the population of these several kinds of magical animals.
Now is the time of the class, as the principal of the witch school, Owen back hands ready to go to inspect some, and on the way also met the five assistant teachers.
These assistant teachers were older, although their physical bodies were recast, their minds could not be adjusted, so they were responsible for maintaining the operation of the witch school on weekdays, and were not responsible for fighting.
But less they really can not, because they serve as the janitor, cook, librarian, health, dormitory, less one have to be in chaos, so Owen met them all nodded to encourage some, let them do their duty.
Skillfully walking to the window at the back of the classroom, through the glass will be the whole classroom as far as the eye can see.
A total of sixty-five little witches and eighteen little warlocks, they will be the core of the magic system that will support the entire territory in the future, so Owen really didn’t treat them poorly.
In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, learning is never relaxed, not only the Hogwarts textbook, there are also puppet masters and part of the system of the Yin Yang master, it can be said that most of the extraordinary knowledge Owen has in hand has been taken out, and hard to cobble together the heritage of an extraordinary magic school out.
The only problem was that now only Emmy and Dale were taking turns teaching, so apart from the basic magic spells and transfiguration, the overall teaching was more inclined towards herbs and magic potions.
This couldn’t be helped, Owen was busy converting the burgeoning population, so he didn’t have the time to save up the progress value to exchange for professors at Hogwarts.
The good thing is that these four classes alone are enough to learn, not to mention that Owen also added a sword class, so that the witch hunt to teach those little witches and little warlocks melee, after all, a wand in one hand and a longsword in the other hand is a kind of romance that belongs to a mage, who says that there is no wand can not be beaten to death. Very good, learning very seriously, Owen saw Emilee’s teaching was very satisfied, and when he left, he ordered the cook to add a meal today.
Everything was going in a good direction, which made Owen happy and accomplished, but soon his good mood was interrupted.
“Where in the Bison Territory have the Northland barbarians been spotted? What is the situation now?” Owen sat behind his desk and frowned, although he had prepared for it, it was not good news after all, and his heart was not happy.
“The scouts planted by the Bison Territory have just sent a message, two tribes of Northland barbarians have been found staying on the north side of the North Boundary River, numbering around seven to eight hundred, with adult warriors numbering two to three hundred, and are now trying to cross the river.” Maya calmly reported the news she just received.
“Nine times out of ten, the Northland barbarians were lured by the daughter of the Bison Baron.” Owen suddenly remembered this, but it wasn’t a big problem, even without this lead party, the Northland barbarians wouldn’t be at peace for long, after all, times can be tough further north, and plundering just happens to be the best way to get rich, at least for the Northland barbarians.
“Does master need to send troops immediately?” Maya also knew about this matter, but wanting to use the power of the Northland barbarians to take revenge was purely overthinking, so she opened her mouth and asked.
“First not in a hurry, crossing the river will not be so fast, now the weather is starting to warm up, it is the time when the current rises the fastest, can’t figure out the water situation, the barbarians dare not make a big move to cross the river.” The two northern barbarian tribes whose combined population is still less than a thousand can’t talk about a big enemy for the territory, who let the territory’s soldiers and people are seriously disproportionate, and can’t be viewed in a normal way at all, so Owen calmly thought about the pros and cons of this matter.
“Let the miners of the Bison Territory stop working for now, don’t be discovered, and at the same time send more scouts to keep an eye on the situation of the Northland Barbarian Tribe.” Owen stroked his chin and said.
“Master is thinking of letting the Northland Barbarian Tribe cross the river?” Maya guessed Owen’s idea, but didn’t understand why he was doing this, it was obvious that stopping the other side from crossing the river or attacking them halfway across the river would be the most effortless.
“Yes, it’s to let them cross the river, the physical condition of the Northland barbarians is very good, they are good candidates for heavy infantry, the territory needs this kind of hard labor.” Owen smiled and said.
Maya nodded in understanding, after conquering the nomadic tribe, the territory had an additional nomadic cavalry, obviously the master had his eyes on the Northland Barbarian tribe this time, and intended to add a heavy infantry to the territory.
And in order to achieve this purpose, the two northland barbarian tribes must first be lured across the river, eliminating the other party’s retreat.
As for not drawing fire, Maya was very calm about it, they didn’t have this qualification.
“But we can’t be too careless, let Bella lead the nomadic cavalry to patrol between the Bison Territory and the territory, if the other party is preparing a sneak attack, let her make the first move.” Owen knocked on the table and said to Maya.
“Yes master.” Maya made a note of this matter and then walked out of the study to inform Bella.
