Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 149 An Isolated Village

The laws of this strange world seem to be a little different from those of the pan-continent, and the nights here are extraordinarily long.

So when Linda, who had been awakened by the precise biological clock that Mama Sophia had cultivated, urged her to prepare for her prayer work every morning, the forest outside was still silent in the deep night, and the shadows of the towering peaks of the Wolf's Tooth Mountains could be faintly seen through the back window of the cabin.

Naturally, there was nothing to say in the hut all night, but because of Roger's whim, the birds and beasts on the Wolf's Tooth Mountain Range could be regarded as suffering, and the chickens and dogs jumped and tossed all night, and those strange wails naturally lasted all night.

We don't know what Roger did that night on the mountain, but just when Linda was wondering if he should do his homework according to his custom, Roger yawned and pushed open the wooden door of the hut, carrying a small hedgehog-like animal in his hand.

"You went out hunting early in the morning, and I didn't see you when I got up. ”

Although she saw that Roger's clothes were wet with dew, Linda didn't think about him not returning all night, after all, because of yesterday's exhaustion, Linda fell asleep almost at night shortly after Luo Ming went to collect firewood.

"I ate your charred chicken yesterday, which is not salty and lightly, and my stomach starts to crow in the middle of the night. ”

Naturally, this kind of thing can't be said in front of Linda, Roger can only giggle and fool around, Linda just asked casually and prayed to herself.

After so many years, the craft is really not a bit good...... Looking at Linda's reverent look with her eyes closed, Roger silently added in his heart.

Lighting the extinguished bonfire with a level 0 'flame burning', Roger cooked the 'hedgehog' with his hands and feet, the flames swirled around his fingertips, and burned on the 'hedgehog''s thorny shell, those thorny shells were instantly scorched black and crispy by the flames, and it didn't take much effort for Roger to take off its shell with a light break.

Here, in Roger's busy intervals, Linda had silently memorized a piece of "The Covenant of Holy Light", and the hazy holy light was free from the air, like an ethereal aurora ribbon around her, and finally merged into Linda's body, Roger watched this scene with interest, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Even in a place where there is no faith or deity, the priest's prayer can still gather the Light, even if he is in the Necromantic Underworld, which is full of blasphemy and sin, which is a symbol of the Church of Light's charity for all beings, but Roger does not believe that the Church treats people as idiots.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it is better to say that the concept of the Holy Light is one of the basic concepts of each dimensional space, and as for the title of Lord of the Holy Light, it may have been given to him by Edda when he gathered the concept of the Holy Light to become a god when he defeated Shi Tasia, so no matter how the church boasted, he should also be an indigenous god limited to a pan-continent.

After bathing in the holy light, Linda seemed to have recovered the cold appearance she had just met the day before, and seeing Roger staring at her intently, she frowned and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Nothing, nothing ......."

Roger smiled and lowered his head, and used a small brush to brush a milky white grease on the roasted meat, halfway through the roast Roger found that the meat quality of this animal was worse than imagined, and he didn't say anything about the oil and water after roasting for a long time, and the fishy smell couldn't be removed, so Roger had to take out the flying dragon grease squeezed out a few days ago and brush it up, barely improving the taste.

That's the case with wild animals, which are not only fleshy compared to domesticated animals that have been domesticated for thousands of years, but also, if not as a last resort, Roger is not interested in such things at all.

Hearing that there were also plague guys who had contracted the plague for eating wild animals indiscriminately, Roger really wanted to drain their souls and see what they thought.

"So," Linda glanced at Jimmy, who was still asleep, "don't you want to explain what we are now, what the hell is this place, and why did Lord Nicholas VI purify you that day?"

"You see, I'm just a victim, you've seen the situation that day, I didn't do anything against the law, your pope suddenly appeared and wanted my life, and I'm still confused. ”

While turning the roast to evenly heat it, Roger continued, "If it is because I am a magician, it makes sense for your Pope to come and purify me if I appear in the Holy City of Kaya, but I am resting in peace. ”

"Ha~"

The voices of Roger and Linda finally quarreled with the young hunter, in order to take care of Linda, who was a girl, the only single bed in the house was given to Linda, and Jimmy and Roger shrank in the corner and slept all night, of course, we all know that Roger ran to the Wolf's Tooth Mountains at night and ran all night, so in the end, Jimmy was the only one who slept uncomfortably.

"You experts from the city are up so early, it's not dawn yet. ”

Moving his stiff limbs, Jimmy was a sunny teenager after removing his disguise, smiling and greeting Roger and Linda, completely unaware of the slightly tense atmosphere in the room.

Stretching his back, Jimmy also started to joke: "Could it be that you city people also need to get up early in the morning to prepare for the day's work?"

With a silent gesture to Linda, Roger brushed the last bit of grease onto the barbecue, turned his head and smiled, "Then what did your knowledgeable village chief say about us city people?"

"The village chief? The village chief has never said anything about the people in the city, after all, no outsiders have been here in the village for a long time. ”

Jimmy put his boots on his feet and jumped on the ground before he spread his hands and said, "A long time ago, it was probably my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather....... In short, a long time ago, our village often had some exchanges with other villages and towns, and I heard that our Utuo Village was still a famous big village near and far, but then I heard that our lord was hit by a war, and the whole territory was also caught in the war, so for everyone's safety, we closed it. ”

"After all these years, you haven't thought of going to those places?" Roger was intrigued, and even the roasted meat didn't appeal to him.

"Why go out and ask for trouble? I heard that when there was a lord, there would be tax collectors who would come to our village to collect taxes, and at that time everyone didn't even have enough to eat, but now everyone can be self-sufficient anyway, so why bother with that?" said Jimmy, of course.

"According to you, your Utopian village has been out of touch with the outside world for a long time, right?

"Anyway, it's longer than that, the days go by day anyway, the wind and rain are smooth, and no one pays attention to these. ”

Speaking of this, Jimmy seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "But I seem to have heard my father say that there was once a lively man who sneaked out of the village at night to go to the city to see, but after going around and around, he finally went back to the village in the morning, and the village chief said that this was a warning from our ancestors, and there was still a war outside, and after that, no one mentioned it." ”

After listening to Jimmy's story, Roger was munching on the barbecue in a daze, and the room suddenly lit up, "Hey, who turned on the light...... Why? Suddenly it was dawn. ”

"Isn't it strange that it's dawn?" Jimmy pointed to a long strip hanging on the wall, where a buoy slid back and forth between the two dots, and the buoy skimmed over the top marker, "Don't you people in the city know the clock? ”

"It's going to be bright, yes, but what about sunrise?"

Because he happened to be communicating with Jimmy last night, Roger didn't notice the change in the sky last evening, but maybe it also dimmed for a moment.

"Where the hell did this guy take me? Is it an alien plane opened up by the blasphemers?"

If yesterday Linda was only suspicious of this, by now, Linda can almost conclude that she is not on the pancontinent.

Roger poked his head out at the sky, but perhaps because of the mountain barrier of the Wolf Tooth Mountains, he didn't see any celestial objects that provided light.

"Well, there are always some strange planes, and there are planes that don't have the sun, so there's nothing strange about it. ”

Roger muttered there, and Jimmy was already waiting a little impatiently, "Aren't you going yet? In a little while all the people in the village will be up, you don't want to be surrounded by a crowd of people, do you?"

It's useless to talk about it here, but it's better to go to that Utopian village to gather information, call Linda, and the two of them follow Jimmy, carefully out of the range of the cabin.

Although the sky was already bright, the dense foliage of the trees still blocked the sky tightly.

Following Jimmy's footsteps through the woods down the mountain, the young hunter would stop from time to time along the way to check on the traps, Roger didn't react at first, but after following Jimmy halfway up the mountain for half an hour, he had to ask.

Seeing Jimmy crouching down to check the traps again, Roger asked with blazing eyes, "I said, why are you installing so many traps? You can't digest it even if you catch so much prey, right?"

"These are not for hunting, although they do often catch hares or something. Jimmy wiped the sweat from his forehead, "These are the traps I made to catch that dragon. ”

After a gesture of the trap, the corners of Roger's mouth twitched, it was no problem to catch a rabbit, but for dragons, not to mention those dragons, even one of the toes of a bipedal wyvern was several times larger than it, maybe this little guy was joking?

So Roger tried to hold back a smile and said, "Didn't you say that you had seen the appearance of an evil dragon, and are you sure that you could catch that 'evil dragon' with this level of trap?"

Jimmy finally smiled and pointed to the trap hidden in the grass, "I know I can't hunt that dragon alone, and this trap won't be useful to that nasty fellow, but each trap has my special bait to help me find the dragon's lair." ”

"So you're just trying to dispel the misunderstanding that the villagers have about your father?" Roger was obviously surprised, "I thought your ideas would be a little more 'radical'." ”

Jimmy brushed away the weeds with his leather boots, carefully concealed the trap, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, I would have slaughtered the beast with my own hands, but it was precisely because I saw the dragon wreaking havoc that I realized that it was not an opponent that I could defeat alone." ”

Roger nodded thoughtfully, and said no more.

After a long time, the three of them came out of the mountain in a circle, and as soon as the light came up, they met a shirtless young man on the path of the deep grass, carrying a huge backpack, who looked like five big and three thick, and looked different from Jimmy like bean sprouts.

As soon as he saw Jimmy, who was in the lead, the young man raised his eyebrows and said in a flirtatious tone: "Yo-yo, isn't this little Amy? Why do you have time to go down the mountain today? Could it be that you caught that evil dragon and want to open our eyes?"

Roger held his chin with interest, this is not the villain's lines.

"Cut, as soon as I came in, I saw this nasty guy. ”

Jimmy muttered, frowning at the young man, "Sweet potato, you don't have to worry about what I do, don't get in my way." ”

Just when Roger thought that a conflict was about to break out between the two, the young man opposite his face collapsed, revealing a smile that was not much stronger than crying: "Don't, cousin, it's not a joke if I haven't seen you for so long, it's okay if I'm wrong, my mother knows that I met you but didn't bring you home, she definitely can't spare me." ”

Jimmy pursed his lips and said, "So you're in trouble when you meet my brother, you won't go up the mountain to drag me back, right?"

"Although my mother does have this intention, but this time it's really not, isn't this year's coming-of-age ceremony about to start, I'm going to go up the mountain in advance to reconnoiter the path, see if there are any collapses and rockfalls, and by the way, clean up the more threatening beasts. Sweet potato pointed to the large package on his back, which were the markings for the route and the herbs used to banish the beasts.

"By the way, you just happened to run into it, you can accompany me on a trip, anyway, you run to the top of the mountain all day long, the road is familiar, and I don't know where you put those traps. Sweet potato patted his head and said.

"No time, no time, anyway, the coming-of-age ceremony didn't climb from the south of the Wolf's Tooth Mountains, I didn't put a trap over there, just pay attention to the 'rift' side, a group of eagle vultures have lived there recently. ”

With that, Jimmy was about to pull Roger away from his overly clingy cousin, and Linda asked, "What?

"Who are you? Faces you've never seen, where did you get Jimmy?"
