I'm not a lord

Chapter 27 Yes, I have a cheat
As the leader of a horse bandit, Lin En occasionally takes on some missions to eliminate monsters besides robbing.

It’s all about making money anyway, and there’s no distinction between high and low gold coins.

In the northern border where primeval forests are everywhere, magical beasts appear frequently, and scholars have never stopped studying them.

However, since the power and land of the Northern Kingdom were very dispersed, and the powerful nobles tended to invest their limited resources in the military, research on Warcraft had never been in-depth.

Only a very small number of scholars with the financial resources and interest are conducting research at their own expense.

The already scarce number of Warcraft scholars are scattered throughout the kingdom. Due to the poor transportation in the north, they usually work in isolation and form their own factions.

Lynn once met the wife of a Warcraft scholar in the southern part of the kingdom.

The scholar was the son of a wealthy businessman and often left home to investigate Warcraft.

His wife held parties at home to relieve her loneliness.

Taking advantage of the party, Lynn entered the scholar's bedroom and looked through his notes.

According to the records in the notes, Warcraft did not come from reproduction, but was produced by the acquired mutation of ordinary animals. The conditions of the mutation are still unclear.

After the mutation, the size of the Warcraft will expand significantly, and its strength and defense will increase exponentially.

Not only that, Warcraft also possesses intelligence and senses far beyond those of ordinary animals.

According to the scholar's findings, most monsters hide deep in the forest and deliberately avoid humans.

Perhaps it's because they know the horror of humans.

Only a very small number of powerful and arrogant monsters will actively attack human villages.

Lin En’s attitude towards this is very simple: anyone who dares to attack his territory must be killed.

Not to mention the Warcraft, even if the Duke comes, he will die.

He had hunted two demon bears and was familiar with the habits of these beasts.

It is because of its huge size and thick fur that it dares to attack human territory with impunity.

These attacks often occur in autumn or spring.

In autumn, bears need to store fat for the winter, and in spring, they are very hungry after waking up, so they come to human territory to eat ready-made food.

How could the taste of young grass and berries compare to the food and livestock in the farmhouse?
The magic bear that has just woken up from hibernation is more sleepy and will return to its nest to catch up on sleep after eating.

When they are hungry at dusk, they will come out to look for food.

Lin En predicted that the greedy demon bear would visit Spruce Village again.

You can't catch a bear without sacrificing a child. In order to ensure that the magic bear would take the bait, Lin En used his power as a lord and kept all the livestock in Spruce Village in the farmhouse.

He and his twenty-five men entered the farmhouse in groups of two.

The magic bear has a super strong sense of smell and a high IQ. If it smells more than 20 people gathered together, it is very likely that it will not take the bait.

In order to make it as realistic as possible, Lin En even ordered his men to make a fire and cook porridge in the farmhouse.

For a moment, smoke curled up above Yunshan Village, and from a distance it really looked like a quiet little village.

The second brother sat by the fire pit, with a spear and a heavy crossbow with arrows beside him, and skillfully stirred the rye porridge in the earthenware pot with a spoon.

"Brother, the porridge is ready."

"Eat it when it's cooked. I have sausages here."

Lynn took out two hard pork sausages from the bag, turned around and threw one to the second brother.

He was ready for a protracted war. If the demon bear didn't come today, he would wait in Yunshan Village for another two days.

If they still don't come, he will lead his men into the forest to search.

In short, the demon bear must die.

As long as it doesn't die, the entire White Bear Territory will not have peace, and Lin En's spring farming plan will inevitably be seriously hindered.

The second brother took the sausage and took a bite. "Brother, how tall was the demon bear we killed last year?"

Lin En ate half a sausage in one gulp and said vaguely, "More than five meters, right? Probably less than six meters."

At the beginning of last year, also in March, Lao Liu had not yet joined the group, and Lin En and his team took on the task of hunting bears alone.

The demon bear was incredibly cunning. Upon sensing a large crowd, it fled to its lair deep in the forest, but was ultimately trapped in a cave by Lin En and his men. The search for the demon bear took over a week, but the battle itself was incredibly brief.

They used smoke to force the demon bear out, and then used spears and heavy crossbows together to kill it in less than a quarter of an hour.

In addition to the bounty, they also have an extra reward for this mission, which is the magic stone in the magic bear's body.

A few powerful magical beasts will grow a translucent magic stone similar to crystal in their bodies.

Most of the magic stones on the market were bought by the church at high prices.

It is said to be a tribute to the gods.

Some powerful warriors also seem to be able to draw power from magic stones to strengthen themselves.

A 'warrior' is someone extraordinary.

It is actually not particularly difficult to become an extraordinary person.

Humans in this world have the possibility of breaking through the limits of the human body and entering a higher level after rigorous training and a proper diet.

In the North, such people are called 'warriors'.

Nobles of baron rank and above are basically warriors per capita.

They were born with no worries about food, had plenty of time to train their bodies, and could go to the courts of high-ranking nobles to receive instruction from powerful warriors. It was hard for them not to become warriors.

According to Lin En's estimation, the minimum threshold for being a transcendent is probably the D-level power shown in the panel.

All five of his brothers have crossed this threshold.

The second brother poured Lin En a bowl of rye porridge, then sat down to eat it with sausage. When he was half full, he said, "Brother, this demon bear is at least seven meters tall. It must have demon stones in its body."

"Should be. According to custom, you will split the money from the furs, and the magic stones will be mine."

Lynn glanced at his attribute values ​​in the "Lord" panel.

[Commander C+] [Strength B] [Constitution C+] [Intelligence C+] [Internal Affairs C] [Charm B-]

A true hexagonal warrior with no obvious weaknesses and extremely outstanding strength.

As the protagonist, Lynn has no stars on his panel.

He estimated that his attributes should be rated four stars.

He didn't know exactly how he ranked in the North, but he had never seen anyone stronger than him.

Possessing such attributes at such a young age does not mean that Lynn is gifted.

But he has a cheat.

Through the panel, Lin En can consume magic stones to improve the attribute values ​​of himself and his followers.

All the magic stones he had obtained in the past were spent on adding points to himself.

The Lord gives strength.

[Strength] This attribute does not simply include strength, but is a comprehensive evaluation of personal martial arts.

In short, the higher the strength, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and all kinds of weapons are at your fingertips.

The leader of the horse bandits must be the strongest in the team.

Otherwise, how can you subdue a bunch of wolf-like and ferocious younger brothers?

Lin En's powerful personal strength has given him unparalleled self-confidence.

This time when hunting the demon bear, he did not make any unnecessary arrangements. He even stayed in the farmhouse at the westernmost end of the village, becoming the bait and spearhead of the entire army.

"Understood. This time I will be careful to only shoot the eyes and make sure the bear's head is intact."

The second brother was well aware of his eldest brother's strength and was already estimating how many gold coins the bear skin could be sold for.

As he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble noticeably.

The demon bear is coming.
