At the beginning, the bandit team was all family soldiers, but as time passed, by the time of Nobi-Feisibilu, the bandits under his command were basically descendants of soldiers born to women captured by the family in the depths of the mountains.

Previously, he had spent his life managing the transshipment trade between the southern countries and the Holy Kingdom.

Finally, in this story, he was rescued by Jier, who was passing by with troops.

Even so, after escaping the pursuit of the family that was wiped out, he relied on this swordsmanship to easily make a living.

In a chaotic attack, the old man was caught by the Fatty bandit group, and the horses were also snatched and sold by the other party. Now rescued by the protagonist, he knows that after the torture of the bandits, his body is not as good as before, and it is difficult to return to his distant home, so he wants to pass on his business skills to the young man who was rescued together, letting him inherit his experience and skills.

Lipuerde-Autosfiten, Senior Steward of the "Zhenbao House" Merchant Guild. In his twenties, his body is weak and thin, because he experienced the monster chaos in the Central Province in his youth and was splashed by the blood of monsters that devoured everything, causing his body to be weak and in danger of life at any time, no matter how it was treated. The reason lies in the fact that the powerful monster was not defeated and killed, but only retreated and returned to the depths of the swamps in the Central Province. Because many mortals feared its power and prayed to it, this monster has become sacred and is evolving toward a life god. He comes from a local noble family and is very intelligent and learned.

Four hundred and twenty years old, an elderly dwarf from a large dwarf family, but he is not valued, so he was arranged to be responsible for the management of the important Zhenbao Mine. A hundred years ago, the Saint Hors Kingdom was founded, and he was also very panicked because the family forgot all the dwarves in the mine when they evacuated. In these nearly one hundred years, "Iron Fist" has been maintaining the stability of the mine and the valley, from the initial panic to the later acceptance of human settlement, and then to the present. Decades ago, he planned to let the captain of the guard soldiers in the mine leave here, trying to re-establish contact with the outside dwarves. But for some reason, after waiting for decades, no one came to find them. Now, this dwarf treats all the dwarves in the mine as his own children and tries to find a way out for everyone before he dies.

"Longtail" Henta-Balibali, a middle-aged Dwarf, 277 years old, an ordinary Dwarf Miner. Although his status is such, because the Zhenbao Mine has been out of contact with the outside world for a long time, the Dwarves have slowly changed from their initial superior-subordinate relationship into friends and family who look after one another. His temper is somewhat reckless, and he holds much resentment toward the previous self-rescue plan of "Iron Fist." Despite this, "Longtail" is willing to fight to the death for all the Dwarves.

A young Dwarf, Otto-Yingkeersi-Warboots, a young Dwarf, 73 years old. He was born after the Saint Hors Kingdom was established, conceived from the love between the Zhenbao Mine Soldier Captain and the mine Chef after the people of the mine were forgotten.

He detests the Humans of Saint Hors, but has lived alongside the Humans in the Valley for years. He possesses the confusion and Yongqi unique to young people, and is also very energetic. Furthermore, among the Dwarves of the Zhenbao Mine, he is very well-loved by everyone. His father's nickname is "Tie Xigai."

Because of this, Shishou is very grateful to Iron Fist, though he does not put his gratitude into words, instead repaying the other party through his own hard work. After the Saint Hors Kingdom was established, the mine lost contact with Dwarf civilization, and Shishou continued to mine while practicing the techniques of using a two-handed greatsword. His strength is therefore not weak, and his stamina is even better. To improve his combat prowess, he also began to worship the strange "God of Strength" and joined a Dwarf combat group that likes to use Heavy Weapon. He gained the favor of the God of Strength, received the blessings and trials of the God of Strength, and possesses great power; he is the trump card of the Zhenbao Mine Dwarves' military force.

Several years before the story, because the youngest third brother was curious and accidentally entered Huitou Forest, he became trapped; the other two came to search for him and were both trapped by the Dwarves, residing in Torito Cunzi. Because they are skilled in Large Bow archery, they were invited by the Dwarves to join the village wall's defense work.

Herbalist, Soye-Zuojigela, 30 years old, a middle-aged Human, married, a person of Yemei Town. His knowledge of Herb was learned from a famous Herbalist master in Monta Valley City; he can independently produce various Potion and Ointment to treat common illnesses, but he is not skilled at making liquid medicines. He is adept at making Healing Ointment for treating external injuries, and because of this, he befriended the Dwarves of the Zhenbao Mine in the hope that the Dwarves would let him go home. Ten years ago, shortly after he was married, he accepted a request from a foreign wealthy merchant in Yemei Town to treat a strange illness and went out to search for precious Herb, but he accidentally entered Huitou Forest and became trapped. During the time he was trapped in Torito Cunzi, he began to farm and cultivate the land, but because he displayed knowledge of Potion, he became famous and is an important person with high social status in the Cunzi; he has married again in the Cunzi. Although his status in the Cunzi is quite high, he is often troubled by this.
