Chapter 4 Director Morma

That is a dangerous place that only adventurers with strong skills and truly powerful abilities will enter. Generally speaking, even local veteran hunters will not run into the Black Forest without any trouble - no one knows what they will encounter in the Black Forest, even if an intermediate monster suddenly pops up, it is not uncommon.

Moreover, the black forest is densely filled with trees, and there is no light in it, so it is no joke to get lost.

Every year, adventurers enter the Black Forest to hunt rare beasts and adopt rare magical herbs. Every year, adventurers make money.

However, every year there are always adventurers who enter the Black Forest and never come back.

"That's true. If you don't get into the wild forest, there will be no danger. But be careful, if something happens to you, I will have no shame to go back to see Uncle Holid.

If you encounter a wolf in the forest, you should shout loudly. Don’t turn your head and run away. Wolves are very timid. If you shout loudly, you can scare it away, but if you turn your head and run away, the wolf will still pounce on it.

We usually work nearby. When we hear you shout, we will rush to help, and the rangers will rush over. But it is better for you to come back early in the future, as there is still a bit of danger in the woods at night."

York just said casually that as long as Ender did not enter the wild forest behind, he would also think that something would happen in the forest.

"Brother York, is your team on duty today?" Ander asked casually as he walked inside.

"Yes, it's our turn to be on duty today. How about playing cards together tonight?" York issued an invitation.

"Thank you, I don't want to win your hard money anymore." Ander waved his hand quickly and respected Xie Bumin.

"Oh, then hurry up and go to Supervisor Malma, he is still looking for you in the afternoon."

York didn't force it, after all, Ender's brain is famous for being flexible. If he really participated, the money of several people would not be enough for him to win alone.

The cards in this world are not cards on the earth, but things like mahjong and military chess (there is no papermaking technique in this world, paper is a very precious thing).

This kind of game was originally a game used by nobles to talk about war on paper, deduce and simulate wars, and the gameplay was quite complicated.

There are at least two people in each game, and up to six people can participate together. One person must be a special notary to determine whether certain attack defenses are effective by rolling dice.

For example, if the archery team shoots a volley at a time, if the dice is thrown by 1 point, it can only determine one casualty on the other side. If the dice is thrown by 20 points, the number of casualty on the other side must be determined, which is equivalent to half of the number of the archery team.

Later, this kind of game was spread by merchants. They used cheap materials such as wood to make chess pieces to replace the originally expensive ivory and silver pieces, and greatly simplified the complex game rules and calculation methods. The dice was simplified from making the difficult 20-sided dice to 6-sided dice. Through these methods, merchants finally turned this aristocratic game into a popular game that everyone can play.

However, although various major simplifications have been carried out, basic calculations and game strategies are also necessary if you want to play this kind of game well.

Many of the rude people in the logging farm don’t even know the most basic card counting and calculating points. Everyone just joins in the fun and plays and passes the time.

Ender played with them once, and was embarrassed to play with them again - that time he almost won everyone's underwear.

Later, Ande found out that he had won too much money, and his card friends were all looking like earth. Ande wanted to return the money to them. As a result, these big men insisted on saying that they would accept the loss for the sake of face, and accused Ande of looking down on them.

In the end, Ande had no choice but to ask the people who took a boat to the town. When he came back, he bought a lot of wine from the town and asked everyone to have a good drink and spend all the money on food and drink. This matter established some basic prestige for Ande, who was newly to the logging farm at that time.

However, since then, Ender has been determined not to participate in their bets.

Logging is a job of hard work, and lumberjacks have a good income. In the forests around the logging farm, you can often get some hares, pheasants and other tooth-beating sacrifices.

The regular soldiers under Baron Hank Joseph have to take turns to come here for strength training every month in summer (by the way to log), so the architectural layout of this logging field is somewhat similar to that of the barracks.

The logging yard manager that Ender now, Mr. Molma, is also the head of the recruit training under Hank Joseph, who is parallel to the status of Ender's father Hollid.

"Mr. Molma, do you have something to come to me?" Ander pushed open the door of Mr. Molma's office and said respectfully.

"Well, yes, Ender, where did you go during the day?"

Mr. Molma is a middle-aged man with a strong body, age of 45 or 46, with a long scar on his face that extends from his eye sockets to his cheeks, and thus appears to be a bit fierce.

"I went to the forest to see if I could find some medicinal herbs." Ender replied.

"Hahaha, can you still find medicinal materials in the forest? Okay, okay, someone has indeed picked up Ningshenhua in the forest, but this kind of thing may not be the case once a year."

Mr. Molma burst into laughter.
