We approached the village, and in the distance we could see the busy villagers in the village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite this icy environment, the village is still thriving. This is my impression of Akai and I after seeing the village up close.

As we got closer, our presence finally caught the attention of the villagers.

The village is not walled, or perhaps because of the recent relocation here, the village has not yet had time to build a wall, so we were not hindered from entering the village.

The villagers looked at the two strangers and gathered around them with great curiosity. But they didn't dare to come forward and ask, but in their eyes, we didn't see any hostility.

On the contrary, the people of this world are very united. In this dangerous world, because they are always infested by monsters, the folk customs are very strong, and almost everyone can be used as a combat force, not to mention that there is a mage stationed in every village.

Akai and I stopped at the entrance to the village, well, I should say that it was a circle around the outer part of the village, and we didn't go in.

The villagers didn't mean to come over, so they just looked at each other, and more and more villagers came over.

Finally, just as we could take it anymore, an old man in a white robe stepped out of the crowd.

By the way, people in this world have big noses.

We were able to recognize this as an old man, thanks to the large white beard.

The old man put his hands in the wide cuffs and walked slowly towards us.

"Who are the two?" As we expected, the voice, despite his age, is still full of energy, and it is not difficult to see that the average physical fitness of this world is, after all, a resident living in a world full of dangers.

"Old man, we are travelers from afar, and we learned of the existence of this place from a merchant from your village, and we have come to visit." Taking a step forward, I bowed slightly and said politely.

The old man stroked his beard with his hands, "Oh! Welcome, travelers. After a pause, the old man continued, "I am the head of this village. ”

"Hello village chief." Akai came to me and nodded at the old man in respect.

"As you can see, there is a mage in Xiabucai, and this is a friend and an archer in Xia, and the two of us have traveled here to learn more about this place."

The old village chief looked at me in surprise, "It turned out to be Master Mage!" Faux pas. "The old man sighed at my identity.

Then, after some pleasantries, the old village chief invited us to the village.

Along the way, we were able to see the architectural styles in the village and the layout of the fields.

I have to say that because of the hastily established village, the buildings are still very simple. Akai and I looked through the glass window into a house, and there was hardly any unusual furniture. Some rooms can only fit a single bed.

"This village was just built not long ago, although it was in a hurry, but there is no way to survive the winter, don't mind."

How can you mind, it's very satisfying to be able to find a large army. Akai and I looked at each other.

"Don't worry, we don't mind, it's better to say that we're satisfied to find people." Akai waved his hand.

Soon, we came to the old village chief's house as a guest.

There is still one person in the old village chief's family, who should be the son of the village chief. After we sat down at the table, we took a few hot bowls of water from the stove and brought them up.

After a casual conversation with the old village chief, we learned a lot of things.

The village, which was originally located on the edge of the desert, had to be relocated due to a lack of water.

Fortunately, the relocation was timely, and when the old village chief learned from us that their original village had been destroyed by a sandstorm, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

As we walked all the way, we didn't find the merchant among the onlookers, so we asked the old village chief.

"Oh! You say little Mo, that kid. The village chief said unhurriedly, "Since the boy returned to the village, he hurried to the castle in the east direction, and when he came back, he put a lot of things in the village. The old village chief sighed.

Naturally, we know exactly what the village chief said, after all, it was a deal with us.

But Akai and I were more concerned about the castle that the old man had just mentioned.

"You said there is a castle to the east?"

"That's right!" At the mention of the castle, the old village chief said proudly, "It is precisely because of the existence of that castle that for many years, this land has not allowed monsters to run rampant. ”

The implication is that many times the castle acts as an unfailing city to attract the main army of monsters.

"Xia, let's go directly to that city at our next stop." Akai nodded at me.

Nodding in response, I also had the same intention, "Well, let's also see how magnificent the castle in this world is." ”

Due to the rules of the world, as long as there are enough materials, theoretically there are many great buildings that can be completed, how high and how high, and there is no need to worry about the foundation.

Therefore, for the magnificent castle that the village chief said, Akai and I yearn for it very much.

"Oh, yes!" When we had talked about it, the old village chief also learned our identity from us, and suddenly said to us as if he remembered something.

"You should go to the Master Mage and have a look, maybe the Master can explain more to you."

"In that case, then let's have more hospitality, and please accept some small gifts." Akai and I felt the same, and we prepared to follow the old village chief's recommendation to visit the mage.

"Oh, hehehe, that's embarrassing."

After the old man had accepted our gift ———— ten wools, Akai and I walked towards the tower in the center of the village.

It is said to be a high tower, but in fact, it seems to us to be an observation deck with a height of more than 10 meters.

Walking to the door, before we could knock, an old voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in, friends from afar." Full of kind voices, the door in front of us opened with the sound, and unlike when the old witch appeared and opened the door with the force of the wind, I didn't feel any strong magic fluctuations.

"Excuse me." I put my staff away and walked inside.

"Huh? Huh! Wait for me. Akai, who was still in a daze, saw me walk in and hurriedly followed.

There were three levels of the watchtower, and there was nothing on the first floor, except for some clutter, so Akai and I walked up the stairs.

In front of him, it was an old man, dressed in a wide white mage robe, with a beard that was comparable to that of the old village chief, and his eyes revealed kindness and wisdom.

Akai was very nervous, after all, we were still very young.

With a wave of his hand, the old mage moved two chairs in front of us.

Sitting at the desk, the old mage invited us: "Sit down." ”

Although I wanted to ask a lot of questions, I endured it, and after beckoning Akai to sit down quickly, I couldn't wait to look at the old mage.

"Huh." Looking at my look of wanting to ask but not daring to ask, the old mage smiled and said, "Xiaoyou is also a mage." ”

Taking a deep breath, I regained my mood, "Yes, honorable senior. ”

"So what should the old man call Xiaoyou?" The old mage asked with a smile on his face.

"Became a monk in the second half of the way, with a single name Xia Zi."

"Hehe, let's call Xiaoyou, my old bones have been here for many years."

In this way, the old mage and I began to chat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, after all, we were able to meet people who were also mages, and the two sides had a common topic.

Akai sat beside me, listening to what we were saying, some of which he understood, but most of the things were still in a fog.

It took a while for the old mage to inquire about Akai.

"Ah, I'm with him." Akai pointed at me, "My name is Kai, and I'm an archer. ”

The old mage looked at Akai's raised hand, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"It can be seen that this little friend's bow skills are very good."

After practicing archery for a long time, Akai's hands inevitably grew calluses.

"Seniors have a good eye."

After an afternoon of talking, when Akai was about to sit still, the old mage and I finally ended the exchange.

After that, Akai and I were going to stay in the village for one night.

We explained our request to the village chief, who readily agreed and gave us a vacant house.

————————I'm a dividing line————————

At night, since the village is not walled, it is inevitable to fight against sporadic monsters.

Therefore, there will always be people patrolling the village who take turns to keep vigil, and if they find monsters, they will be eliminated immediately.

However, because of our request, we will carry out the vigil this night, which can be regarded as a reward for the acceptance.

In this regard, the attitude of the villagers and us has obviously changed.

"[Ice Arrow]! [Fireball Technique]! "After two spells in a row, a zombie was frozen by the ice and was hit by the impact of the flame explosion, and it suddenly fell apart.

The simple truth of thermal expansion and cold contraction.

Although there are obviously fewer monsters in winter, less does not mean that there are none.

As an arrow pierced a zombie's head, Akai easily took out another arrow and placed it on the bowstring.

"In two hours, let's go rest." I pulled out my clock and looked at the position of the moon above and said.

"Yes." Akai flexed his muscles, then pulled out a stone block from his backpack, placed it on the ground, and sat down.

Cobblestone mined directly from the ground has an uneven surface, but after being fired in a furnace, it can be turned into a stone that is flat on six sides.

Seeing Akai sit up, I also felt a little sore feet, so I also sat next to Akai, and the staff was stuck on the ground by me, I raised a hand, and a fireball suddenly lit up our surroundings.

Winter nights were still quite cold, and although we were dressed enough, we still couldn't avoid the cold.

"Tomorrow, after I learn from the old mage, we'll go to the castle and have a look." To avoid boredom, I made small talk with Akai.

"Okay, let's see what that castle looks like, and we can build a smaller one when we get back." Akai said that the family still has a full box of building materials.

"Well... It's okay, there's not much to do in the winter anyway. "I've never made a castle or anything like that, but compared to a bunker, I said that if I gave me a little time, I could still make it.

"It's okay, I'll do it with you then."

Stretching out my fist, I bumped into Akai.

"Ahh Over there! Akai suddenly pointed to a slowly wandering zombie, the figure in the dark was a little blurry, but it was nothing to Akai's eyesight.

"Small." Holding my hands together, a fireball that was more colorful than the other appeared in my hands.

"Go!" With a slight push, the fireball struck the hapless zombie like a meteor in the night, and then burned it to ashes.

"Ahh Akai clasped his hands behind his head and stepped on the stone to look up at the gloomy sky.

"Huh." I gazed at the plains of the night.

All around, very quiet.
