Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

The people from the Territory of Thorns are not the only ones living in the land of Antolia.

Except for Thorn Collar,

Between the vast deep forests and rolling mountains of Antolia,

There are also countless backward tribes that are regarded as savages by the Andal Kingdom. However, the Antolian people still prefer to call these people mountain people.

after all,

The Andal Kingdom’s definition of wildlings,

It is more judged based on whether they believe in gods and whether they follow the church's classics.

But the Antolians also have no habit of believing in gods, so in the minds of many Andals, the Antolians are actually no different from savages.

"Mountain people?"

Leon seemed a little surprised by this answer.

Although he has always been very aware of the existence of mountain people, in fact, this is the first time Leon has met a large living mountain people.

How many mountain tribes are there in the mountains of Antolia?

How do mountain people survive? How to survive the winter?

These are the questions in Leon's mind. How did they survive the invasion of plateau hounds without city walls?

With a little curiosity,

Leon immediately asked Todd to carry the guy caught at night to the lord's castle.

“The lives of mountain people also matter!”

"You can't do this to me!"

While being dragged and pushed by the mercenaries, the mountain man who had obviously experienced torture screamed loudly.

They all have one head, two eyes, one mouth, and are equally strong and tall.

Leon Zai observed carefully for a while, but he couldn't see any difference between the mountain people in front of him and his own subjects.

Is this guy really a mountain man?

Could it be that after being caught, he called himself a mountain man, hoping that he would be punished lightly so as not to surprise his friends?

Todd seemed to see the suspicion in Leon's heart, and immediately asked the mercenaries who were guarding this person to start stripping this guy's clothes.

Only a tearing sound was heard,

A tuft of furry chest hair suddenly emerged from the man's shirt.

But that's not the most important thing,

After the mercenaries put this man down with all their strength,

I saw a strange pattern painted on his back with colorful paint.

"Lapluk?"

When he saw the strange but inexplicably familiar pattern, Leon almost blurted it out.

"Um?"

at the same time,

The mountain people who were knocked to the ground by the mercenaries trembled all over, with a trace of confusion in their surprised eyes.

Seeing this situation, Leon suddenly understood.

Although his face remained as calm as water, deep inside his heart there was already a turmoil.

He recognized the pattern.

To be precise,

Leon had seen that pattern in the books in the ancient archives.

That is the totem of the Lapluk people.

As for why Leon was able to accurately identify the symbols of the Lapluk people among the seventy-two ancestor tribes recorded in the archives, it was not because of Leon's outstanding memory, but because the pattern was really Too special.

The whole thing is an enlarged version of a raccoon.

However, according to the name of the ancestors, it should be called a bear otter, a fat creature with black eye circles, white face and gray fur.

"Who are you?"

The mountain people who were shouting loudly before were a little panicked for a moment, and asked quickly regardless of the two strong men weighing more than 200 kilograms on top of them.

Although the people of the Thorn Territory and the mountain people of Antolia know each other's existence, although the relationship between the two cannot be said to be a close relationship, it can basically be said that they have never interacted with each other until death.

And now,

The first words spoken by the young man in front of him made him feel a little confused.

"Leon Jimena, the patriarch of the Jimena family, the ruler of the Thorn Territory and the entire Antolia."

Leon asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

The man didn't answer, but stared straight at Leon's face, as if he was still digesting the shock caused by Leon recognizing the tribal totem at a glance and calling out the tribe's name.

"Reporting to Lord Viscount, we have already interrogated this person last night. He is obviously just a thief, but he is really a tough guy. I won't say anything anyway."

"I'm not a thief!"

Hearing this, the man immediately argued with all his strength.

"Then tell me why you came to the Thorn Territory! Presumably the priests of your tribe will not be soft on a thief." Leon said coldly.

After hearing the word "priest", the mountain people seemed to be suddenly discouraged. Although they were still struggling under the mercenary's body, their tone had softened.

"Then...then I'll tell you, but you have to tell me why you recognize our totem..."

Seeing this, Todd couldn't help but be a little stunned.

To know,

For most of last night, the mercenaries took turns going into battle, but they couldn't find anything useful from this man's mouth.

My lord's words were just a few words, but they seemed to have broken through this person's psychological defense.

As for what a Lapruk is...

Todd doesn't know, but he knows that his lord is too powerful!

Instructing the waiter on the side to take notes, Leon asked simply:

"name?"

"Andrew, Andrew LaPluck."

"gender?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew seemed to feel the insult and stared at Leon in front of him.

"Do not misunderstand……"

Leon explained quite thoughtfully: "Biological male does not mean psychological male. Although I think you are a male, I don't know your self-perception. If we really want to divide it, maybe we can draw 97 different categories. gender."

"Ninety-seven kinds?"

Todd on the side suddenly widened his eyes: "Are all the nobles nowadays having so much fun?"

"That's natural!"

Leon suddenly became interested and explained with emotion:

"For example, Novigender, who is called an indescribable gender, believes that his gender cannot be described in human language; another example is Maverique, who is called a lone ranger, who believes that his gender cannot be mixed with humans; and another example is Panender, who This type is called pansexuality, which is a type of gender that is present in every aspect; in addition, there are..."

"Male! I am a man!"

Andrew felt that his ears were being tortured, and he shouted loudly, and even emphasized: "I must be a man!"

"All right."

Leon curled his lips and ended the topic with some hesitation. Then he changed the topic and asked sharply:

"So, Mr. Andrew, please tell me what is your purpose in coming to Thorn Territory?"

"I……"

Andrew paused, and when he thought that Leon had recognized his tribe through the totem on his back, he simply felt relieved and said with some reluctance:

"The last bear otter in the tribe is dead."

"We have no food for the winter. The brothers who came down from the mountain a few days ago saw your food truck..."
