After meeting with Caspian, Village Chief also asked his son to find a set of clothes for Caspian.
Originally, it was just ordinary coarse cloth clothes of the villagers, but when it was worn on Caspian’s body, it made favonovel.com look ethereal. For a moment, the Villagers who saw favonovel.com doubted if there was something wrong with their eyes.
Looking at Caspian, Village Chief became more and more certain that his previous judgment was correct. After all, favonovel.com used to be a warrior and the most knowledgeable person in the Stone Drake Village.
The young man who had lost his memory was very likely to be a warrior, and definitely not inferior to a warrior at the third level of True Martial Realm.
Village Chief secretly made a judgment in his heart, and favonovel.com felt that the possibility was more than 90%.
With the continuous recovery of his memory, Caspian had already felt that many things had come out of his mind. Therefore, favonovel.com did not ask the villagers about the details of his being discussed yesterday. Instead, favonovel.com raised doubts about what favonovel.com had just seen in the village.
“The atmosphere is a little tense?” Village Chief smiled and rubbed his beard after listening. “In fact, it’s only been like this in the past half a month. If nothing unexpected happens, it may return to normal in half a month. Recently, it’s just a special situation, just in case…”
“Just in case?” Caspian asked in confusion.
Village Chief didn’t answer Caspian directly. Instead, favonovel.com pointed at the undulating mountain ridge behind Stone Drake Village and asked Caspian, “Do you know the name of this mountain?”
Caspian shook his head.
“It’s called Dragon Spine Mountain, and it’s said to stretch more than 2,500 kilometers,” Village Chief now showed the most knowledgeable look of an elder in the village and patiently explained to Caspian, “In Dragon Spine Mountain, there are no less than 20 bandit villages that can be named. Moreover, these bandits not only have warriors of True Martial Realm, but also cultivators of Pulse Control Realm…”
When it came to warriors, Village Chief deliberately emphasized his tone and then carefully observed Caspian, hoping to see the change in Caspian’s expression.
Unfortunately, although Caspian’s memory had not recovered yet, his original bearing had naturally recovered. In other words, not only had Caspian killed Heavenly Spirit Realm, but this time, even the North Heaven Queen of Amethyst Palace Realm was pressed under his body.
Although it was not favonovel.com who really attacked, after feeling the atmosphere and hearing True Martial Realm or the Pulse Control Realm, there would naturally be no reaction. However, Village Chief naturally wouldn’t think so much.
He felt that it was because Caspian had lost his memory that favonovel.com did not respond to his words, so favonovel.com continued, “These bandits never come out of the range of Dragon Spine Mountain to rob homes, but they never worry about eating and drinking. Do you know why?”
“Because there is a trade route in the Dragon Spine Mountain. They are robbing caravans passing by,” Caspian said without hesitation.
“Eh? You understand…” Village Chief couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
At the same time, favonovel.com became more and more certain that his previous guess of the origin of Caspian was correct.
If Caspian hadn’t been robbed by the caravan, how could favonovel.com have answered so quickly?
Obviously, it was a subconscious reaction.
Caspian answered naturally, “Yes, when I was eight years old…”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com suddenly stopped again, just like last night.
He vaguely remembered what favonovel.com had done when favonovel.com was eight. It seemed to be very similar to what Village Chief had said, but at this moment, favonovel.com could not remember anything.
In fact, what Caspian was going to talk about at this time was when favonovel.com was eight years old, such as second stage of the True Martial Realm. He slaughtered three bandits in the Falling Moon Valley of Salleria and killed 760 Black Wind bandits to open up the northwest trade route.
But, favonovel.com was not able to recall anything.
Village Chief stared at Caspian, looking forward to his next words. However, when favonovel.com saw Caspian frowning, favonovel.com immediately knew what was going on.
So favonovel.com comforted Caspian, “You don’t have to worry about losing your memory. When I have time later, I will ask the villagers to pay attention to it for you. Maybe I can find clues about your background along the way.”
Village Chief had already determined that Caspian was in a caravan that was hijacked by the bandits from the Dragon Spine Mountain. Therefore, favonovel.com didn’t say much about the survival of Caspian’s companions, for fear of stimulating Caspian.
However, Caspian’s mind was not on it, so favonovel.com didn’t think too much. After expressing his thanks, favonovel.com asked Village Chief to continue with the previous topic.
“Well, that’s almost the case. Because we have to go to the nearest cities, Dragon Spine Mountain is the only way out… If they took a detour, it would be normal for them to spend two or three months on the journey. Therefore, the caravan had to go through Dragon Spine Mountain… As for those bandits, they survive by relying on robbing caravans. There is no need to plunder outside the mountain at all, and it is also very risky to plunder outside the mountain.”
At this point, Village Chief paused for a moment before continuing, “However, in the past half a month, I heard that a natural disaster seemed to have occurred. Yes, I think it should be because I was sitting at home that day and clearly felt the ground tremble a few times… It was said that there was a baby in the village who was shaken off the bed… Anyway, from that day on, there were more caravans passing by Dragon Spine Mountain.”
Village Chief opened his hand and stretched out his finger, “It’s five times more than usual!”
“That’s a lot. If it’s a natural disaster, it’s either to avoid goods or to take the opportunity to make a profit…” Caspian immediately said and continued, “In this case, the possibility of the latter is higher, so during this period of time, the bandits should be dispatched quite frequently. After all, merchants who want to make a fortune will bring a lot of gold and silver, as well as more important supplies for bandits.”
“You actually guessed it!” Village Chief couldn’t help but widen his eyes. “You’ve already heard others talk about it before?”
“No,” Caspian shook his head. “But it’s not difficult to guess. Village Chief, you must think so too.”
“Uh… Uh, yes,” Village Chief blinked his eyes and then nodded.
Caspian didn’t pay any attention to Village Chief’s slightly unnatural expression as favonovel.com looked around and continued, “If that’s the case, then I understand… Since the bandits had appeared frequently recently, the caravan naturally needed more people to escort them. If they invited warriors from other places or warriors brought by their family, it would inevitably cost them a lot on the road. And once there was a loss of personnel, it would be a loss for their family…”
“Even if the goods were delivered, it would make quite a bit of money, but if the clan’s warriors were to be killed, that would be a loss that the clan would find hard to make up for in a short period of time. Therefore, the most suitable way was to hire local Villagers to escort them…”
“The villagers had lived here for generations, so they knew more about the environment of Dragon Spine Mountain than others. Moreover, the villagers are also very repulsed by the bandits. As long as the price is settled, they will be the most suitable guards along the way.”
Caspian pointed at the nearby villagers who were walking back and forth with swords in their hands and said, “They should have done such a job today, right? Village Chief?”
