Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 146 Unpleasant Negotiations
"Who are you!Why are you in my house?!"
Knocking open the door, Jimmy held the small crossbow left by his father, and rushed straight into the room with some recklessness.
In addition to his familiar nest, there was a strange woman in front of the campfire, whom Jimmy had never seen before, and she was dressed in a white dress, perhaps because of walking through the forest, this dress that should have been particularly beautiful was covered with mud, and the hem of the garment had been opened by thorns.
Behind this strange woman, you can vaguely see a huddled figure, the body shape can not be seen male or female, but it is a rickety body, very painful.
Linda, who was staring at the campfire in a daze, didn't notice the footsteps outside the door at first, but in fact, to be honest, even if Linda pricked up her ears, she probably wouldn't hear the subtle sound of Jimmy's footsteps.
But no matter what, someone pushed the door open and broke in, even Linda reacted no matter how sluggish she was, looked at the door, and saw the animal skin clothes that Jimmy was wearing to keep warm.
The screams were already brewing in her throat, but Linda fixed her eyes to see that under the shaggy head, there was clearly a child's little face, which made Linda pat her chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that this little boy is the owner of this wooden house, and we are not trespassing on the house? Oh no, he may have informed the guards, if any of them came with the priest...... Wait, what is this little guy talking about?
Glancing at Roger, who was still frowning, and turning his head to look at Jimmy with a small crossbow, Linda bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, the master here, my companion and I are companions of the adventure group, but I met a beast in the mountains, and my companion was injured, so I had to break into your house......"
Linda was halfway through her words, her face was already blushing, it was the first time for Linda to lie like this, lying is not what a good believer should do, Linda didn't even need to touch her to know that her face must be hot and scary.
So the vigilant Jimmy saw the scene, this strange sister with a disheveled hair talked to herself for a while, and suddenly covered her face there, which made Jimmy, who once thought that his family had been robbed, a little confused.
Blocking one's vision in the course of confrontation with the enemy? Such a guy basically can't survive more than one night in the mountains, not to mention those jackals, tigers and leopards will pounce on you and bite your throat at the first time, even a hare will come up and bite you a few times, where did such a guy come from?
Although he muttered in his heart, Jimmy did not let his guard down, but clenched the small crossbow in his hand even more, and he tried to keep his voice as low as possible, and said sharply: "Who are you?
This time Linda finally heard Jimmy's voice clearly, but what Jimmy said was completely incomprehensible to Linda, it was like a piece of meaningless syllables piled up, this is not the lingua franca of the pancontinent, nor is it the grammatical rules of the Baisain language family, or even a small language like polar languages, with the language level of Linda and others, she can be sure that this is not any language known in the pancontinent, if she has to say it, it is a little similar to the roar of the orcs.
Looks like our Miss Linda has to face a very embarrassing problem.
"Excuse me, do you speak the lingua franca?"
With a one-ten-thousandth chance mentality, Linda tentatively asked this question, but it was useless except to make the child dressed as a hunter in front of her frown tighter.
"I said it!
Seeing that his threat did not work, the big sister in front of him was still muttering to herself, Jimmy was a little deflated, he might not hesitate to pull the trigger in the face of the beast, but when the crossbow arrow was pointed at a human, it was not a life-threatening moment, and not everyone had the courage to be ruthless.
"Now, get out of here!"
Linda was a little anxious, although she couldn't understand Jimmy's words, but the meaning of the young hunter's finger towards the door was still obvious, but.......
Linda glanced at Roger beside her worriedly, and now she returned to the forest with the injured Roger, which was undoubtedly the most dangerous option when Roger was unconscious.
"Please allow us to rest here for a while, and we'll leave when my partner wakes up. ”
Knowing that Jimmy couldn't understand her words, Linda was sweating profusely, pointing at the unconscious Roger for a while, pointing at herself for a while, and finally gesturing with a walking gesture, and after working for a long time, Jimmy finally understood what she meant.
Seeing the anxious look of the big sister, Jimmy pondered for a moment, and the crossbow in his hand was still pointed at Linda, but his eyes were on the man lying on his blanket.
After a few glances, little Jimmy always felt that something was not right, this ....... lying on his blanket Where's the injury?
Jimmy looked up and down, this lying guy had a ruddy complexion, breathing steadily, although his clothes seemed to be tattered because of the bite of a wild beast, but his skin was smooth and oily, comparable to the little fat man in the village chief's house, how could he look half uncomfortable, what is this sister here?
"Don't pretend here, you're challenging the limits of my patience, before my patience runs out, leave my house quickly, and your companions will go out with you, you're not welcome here!"
"Please don't do this, we'll ....... if we get out of here Wait a minute, how can I suddenly understand you?!"
Here Linda was halfway through the pleading, and suddenly froze there, even little Amy on the side was stunned there.

"Oh, my dear hunter brother, please don't be so stingy with your enthusiasm, if you agree to let us rest here for a short time, we will be grateful, and of course we will not be less. ”
Seeing the man who sat up slowly, Linda subconsciously covered her mouth, the corners of her eyes were moist, in this strange place, she suddenly heard this lazy voice, although she was just a stranger before, and even a little disgusted, but it was enough to make Linda excited, with the evil smile hanging on the corner of Roger's mouth, Linda's anxious heart slowly calmed down.
But on the other hand, the sudden change startled little Jimmy, and the figure that was curled up snorted softly, sat up on the floor, and looked at himself with a smile, especially when his eyes stayed on his small crossbow for a few seconds, his smile became more and more intense.
This man is dangerous.
Dealing with wild beasts for a long time made Jimmy realize this for the first time, but when Jimmy hurriedly pointed the crossbow at Roger, there was a small accident, because the range of action was too large, the small crossbow was pressed against the door frame, and it fell to the ground, and Jimmy's little face suddenly turned white with fright.
But Roger was a gentleman who didn't snatch the little crossbow, or rather, he didn't move at all, and the guy's eyes were fixed on the campfire next to him.
Picking up the small crossbow almost tremblingly, confirming that the crossbow arrow can still be activated, Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Roger suspiciously, don't seize such an opportunity, is this guy stupid?
Taking a deep breath, Jimmy said in that voice like a pinching his neck, "What the hell did you do?"
"It's a shame that this roast chicken is burnt..... I'm sorry, I just woke up and my head isn't good, what are you talking about?" Roger also took a deep breath, but looking at the way he drooled, it was really hard to say whether he was nervous or not.
Jimmy's face was full of embarrassment, and the young hunter felt a little too strong to use his strength in the face of this guy, so he had to repeat his question again.
"I ask you, is this your troublemaker?"
"Ahhh~"
Seeing Roger snort twice, Linda's heart almost rose to her throat, although Roger woke up but it really relieved her a little, but the sky was already dark, and there was even the roar of wild beasts in the dense forest of the mountain col outside, if the two of them could not stay in this small cabin, God knows what fierce beasts they would encounter in the dark.
"Ha~~ owed, cough cough, cough cough~ finally coughed up this play, that old man was really ruthless ......"
Rodger suddenly coughed violently, and a thing with golden light was coughed in his hand, Roger just glanced at it and put it into the bone ring, although the time was very short, but Linda, who had been immersed in the path of holy light for a long time, still felt the rich power of holy light from there.
"Where did we just go?" Noticing that Jimmy was a little irritable, Roger patted his head and said, "Oh, yes, excuse me, it was a little trick of mine just now, this is a little trick of our brother and sister to beg for food, I have some other tricks here, I wonder if my dear brother hunter is interested in looking at it?"
White...... Idiot, who is brother and sister with you, it's not reliable to lie.
"I'm not interested in the little trick you mentioned, get out of my house quickly. ”
As he spoke, Jimmy raised his little crossbow a few points and pointed it at Roger's head, which was already a very dangerous and aggressive move, but Roger was not angry, but said, "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, let's leave." ”
"I've said it, you can't ......" Jimmy was stunned before he could finish speaking, he couldn't believe that this man had agreed to leave so easily.
Seeing that Linda was a little anxious, Roger stopped her intention to speak, and after comparing the lingua franca with her 'trust me', he expressed his gratitude to Amy again, and was about to pull Linda out of the cabin.
"I'm sorry. ”
The strange man and woman themselves had already walked to the door, and Jimmy was relieved to put down the crossbow, and at that moment the man suddenly turned around, and Jimmy hurriedly put the crossbow in his hand again.
"Can we take that roast chicken away? It's burnt, but it's my companion who baked it. ”
Hearing Roger's words, Linda's face flushed again, what was wrong with the burnt, and not every girl knows how to cook, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Linda would even want to step on this guy's shoes.
Jimmy guessed that this golden rooster was the one that the big sister had removed from his trap, although it was his prey, but if he could quickly send these two weirdos away, it would be a better deal, so Jimmy just nodded in a deep pretence.
"Thank you for your generosity. ”
Reflexively returning to the house, under Jimmy's watchful eye, Roger took the roast chicken from the campfire along with the stick, and walked to the door again.
"By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to inquire about. ”
I said brother, don't take you to scare people like this, please take care of my little heart, don't be so startled, okay?
Although he complained silently in his heart, Jimmy still yelled inwardly: "I don't know anything, get out of my house quickly!"
"Don't be angry, my dear brother hunter......."
Roger's laid-back tone almost caused Jimmy to pull the trigger, but his next words made Jimmy freeze in place.
"Excuse me....... Is there such a terrible catastrophe that threatens the lives of all? ”
