Chapter 4: Campard Forest, Ranger

The first stop of the patrol mission of the Ancient Snake Forest, Campard Forest.

A strong man wearing a hood, holding a hunting bow, was walking quietly among the trees with a small man behind him.

As a forest ranger employed by the Ancient Snake Castle, Yoda has always been proud of his profession. He still remembers that when he was chosen as a forest ranger twenty years ago, his grandfather and his parents were excited. Being able to serve the Necromancer is the greatest honor of the villagers.

Because of love, it is powerful and superb. Over the past twenty years, Yoda has traveled almost every inch of the land in the Campard Forest. Therefore, when outsiders stepped into this land, Yoda almost noticed it the next day.

"Click!"

The sound of broken dead branches suddenly came from behind, causing Yoda's hair to explode. He suddenly pulled the bow and turned around, but what he saw in the end was the stupid face of his stupid son... There was a broken dead branch under his feet.

"Kulu, you have been learning from me for ten years, but you still can't sneak silently. How can you take over my position as a forest ranger?"

"I don't want to be a forest ranger. I only have fifty gold coins a year, and I have to live in the forest all my life. In the future, I will go to big cities and be a worker than a forest ranger." The young man was in his rebellious period. Even though he had made a mistake, he refused to admit it and held his neck and pushed his father hard.

Hearing his words, Yoda was so angry that his veins jumped up on his forehead. From his grandfather's generation, the forest ranger profession that serves necromancers is the most noble and respectable profession in the villages and towns. It is a guaranteed income from drought and floods. Once you find a job, you will never be dismissed. Even if you are sick and disabled, you will be paid for your lifetime of annuity... Maybe you didn't notice it at all. As long as you don't consciously neglect your duties, this is a profession that can be eaten for the rest of your life and you can also get a relationship with the noble necromancer.

For a long time, the competition has been extremely fierce and cannot be held by non-the most agile and outstanding warriors in the village.

However, in recent years, everything has gradually changed. More and more young people are no longer willing to hunt and farm for a living. They yearn for the outside world, especially a big village called "city", saying that the people in the city are rich, and the girls in the city are white and beautiful.

Because my grandfather and I were both forest rangers, the Yoda family was originally a landlord in the village for generations and had a great status, but in recent years, some young people who went to work in the city came back and brought back a lot of novel things and a lot of money.

Now, no one pays attention to past glory, and they pays more and more attention to money.

Yoda was so angry that he wanted to hit his son, but looking at his son's neck-stabbing look, he was still discouraged.

Each generation has its own way of living, and the son is older. It is not the time when I was a child that I will be obedient when I was a child.

…………

Just when the forest ranger Yoda was hurt, a slender and white palm suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

Yoda was suddenly shocked and turned around violently. The arrow in her hand instinctively got out of her hand.

However, the arrow did not shoot out.

Only at this moment did You realize that the bow string of the bow in your hand was cut off at some point. Of course, such a bow could not shoot an arrow.

"Yoda, the ranger?"

Shi Yinghu, wearing a shabby robe and carrying two swords, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a snake tattoo on his cheek. Although he was in doubt, he had a tone of affirmation.

"Uh, I am, I am." This is not the first time Yoda has received patrolmen in the past twenty years. Looking at the two swords and worn robes of the young man not older than his son, he had a strong envy in his eyes.

In this world, due to the continuous invasion of demons on the lower plane, many humans regard professions as gods. Of course, some people regard them as creatures like demons.

For example, a necromancer like manipulating corpses and playing with dead souls is more similar to a demon than a god.

"There are no abnormalities recently? Are there any outsiders coming or abnormal phenomena occurring?"

"No, sir, there are no such abnormalities. I patrol every day, and the Campard Forest is definitely still... well, pure."

"Very good, then please sign here and make some confirmation." In fact, Shi Yinghu knew very well that the focus of the profession of the forest ranger is not on the forest ranger himself, but on the snake-shaped tattoo on his cheek.

This is actually an extremely obscure necromancer mark. Once the forest ranger dies, the ancient snake castle will receive information.

On the contrary, if the invaders do not kill the forest rangers, even the high-level professions will not be more familiar with the mountains and forests, especially the Campard Fort. Once the forest rangers discover an abnormality, the ancient snake castle will also receive the letter.

Although this setting is not a secret in the Ancient Snake Castle, it will undoubtedly not let students know. Kate Brian also heard this news occasionally while helping the professor, but in fact it is not valuable. Can the hostile forces sold to the Ancient Snake Castle sell a thousand gold coins? On the other hand, will he betray the Ancient Snake Castle for one thousand gold coins?

Professionals are usually not as low as those with low value.

"Okay, thank you very much for your hard work in daily life. In addition, the current annuity was ordered twenty years ago, right? I will report to the senior management that I should raise the salary of the forest ranger." Shi Yinghuyan smiled at this point, and then originally planned to leave.

As a result, they were stopped by Yoda and his son and took them to their tree house for a special meal. When they left, they were stuffed with a large bag of various local specialties by Yoda and his son. They came on an empty stomach and returned with a full load.

For mountain people, fifty gold a year is a pretty good income. Young people who go to factories to work are almost the same income, which may be a little higher, but what consumption is in the city?

But for the Ancient Snake Fort, fifty gold a year is not a drop in a drop in a bull. The problem of low treatment for forest rangers is not because they have no money, but because no one pays attention to it, so that the annuity has not changed for twenty years. Now it is not possible. With the development of science and technology and the process of urbanization, fifty gold a year is gradually no longer a high income, which is also a kind of damage to forest rangers' sense of honor.
