Quiet and somewhat eerie dense forest, Li Tong and Rem walked on the path in the dense forest, which was not far from the mansion. Although I still can't see the village near the mansion www.biquge.info, I guess it's fast!

After a day's journey, it was already the morning of the next day, and the dragon carriage had been deposited in the post station where it was resting on the way. The reason is that when he was about to drive the dragon cart to continue moving, he found that the dragon stopped shortly after leaving the station.

Then Rem's face became a little solemn, and she explained to Li Tong the reason why the earth dragon stopped - scared! There are things ahead of it that it fears, which means that the front is not safe.

Hearing Rem's explanation, Li Tong looked at the uncompetitive earth dragon, and then had no choice but to decide to send the dragon cart back to the post station, and they walked forward on foot. Although the speed is a lot slower, fortunately their trip is not far away.

However, after the two entered the dense forest at the end of their destination, they became vigilant. Because it was so quiet, there were no insects or birds, and the overwhelming silence of this forest was too unusual. Coupled with the previous reaction of the Earth Dragon, they were extremely cautious.

"Li Tong, did you say it was ......because of that thing?"

"That thing? Do you mean Moby Dick? ”

Rem's worries reminded Li Tong of what happened yesterday, when passing through a small town, he could have walked directly, but because the guards sent by the royal city blocked the streets there, he had to take a long detour, and the reason for the blockade was that it was rumored that there was a fog monster in this area, the white whale.

The 50-meter-long, overhead-flying magic array that allows the white whale to swim in the air threatens merchants and nearby villages from the royal capital. This is information that Rem knows, and it is not a big deal in Li Tong's opinion, but it takes so much trouble.

"It's okay, didn't you say it, the place where that guy appears will be shrouded in a thick white fog, but now it's ...... there"

Turning back to comfort Rem, Li Tong suddenly felt a slight change in the surrounding environment.

In front of them, a figure appeared silently. And it's a character whose whole body is covered in black clothing, and even his face is hidden with something like a hood, and his origin is unknown.

And that's not all.

"He's ...... No, these are ......"

Just as Rem, who spotted the suspicious figure, took out her iron ball, black shadows appeared around them one after another. The number of people exceeded ten in an instant, silently surrounding the two people on guard.

"You are—"

Li Tong's mind was searching for a kind of aura, that is, the aura of the people who suddenly appeared, and suddenly these suddenly black shadows disappeared in the surrounding environment like they appeared.

“――！”

Li Tong suddenly reacted, isn't the breath coming from this group of people exactly the breath of a witch? Although it is slightly different from the breath on his body, this is also the reason why Li Tong reacted, but he can confirm that this is the breath of a witch.

"Rem, let's chase!"

The white sword in Li Tong's hand appeared, and although the black shadow had disappeared from sight, Li Tong could feel that rich aura ahead.

"Okay!"

Without asking why, Rem followed Li Tong's footsteps and quickly walked through the dense forest. At this time, Li Tong gradually had thoughts in his mind.

The mansion is suddenly in danger, and a group of strange guys who have appeared in the dense forest near the mansion should be what prevents them from eyeing the mansion...... No! It should be Emilia who is the candidate for the king's choice!

As the two of them chased after each other, the scenery around the road began to change, unlike the way they had been running hard before. The spacing between trees increased, and traces of man-made began to be mixed in.

On the slope that began to face upward, there was a dim sight of something familiar, and on the opposite side of the slope you could see white smoke rising higher than a tree. Whether it is the smoke of the stove for cooking food, or the smoke of wood for bathing, either one is sure that the smoke will only come out if there is a fire.

It's the village. The village of Alam, which is closest to the house, is at the end of the slope.

Really!

Li Tong, who saw Alam Village, confirmed the idea in his heart, and the target of that group of people was indeed a mansion.

It's troublesome, and I don't know what's going on in the mansion now.

At this time, Li Tong's face suddenly changed, and there was also this change. The smell of blood was in the air, and it was clear that there was a battle nearby.

As they ran to the source of the taste, it was the village, and after arriving here, not only did they have waves in their hearts.

Where this is fighting, it is clearly a massacre. A group of people dressed up as the black shadow Li Tong saw just now, maybe the group of people just now was mixed in. They were mercilessly slaughtering the helpless villagers, men, women and children, who were sending their butcher knives one after another, and blood covered the village in the early morning.

"Damn! To do such a thing! ”

Li Tong's hands were trembling, but he still gave Rem a few words before he could stop him, and then he rushed towards the black shadow who was slaughtering the villagers with a white sword in hand.

"Stop!"

The two were about to harvest a woman with their curved blades, when suddenly they flew backwards as if they had lost control, facing Li Tong who was galloping towards him.

"Snort!"

The sword light flashed, and Li Tong ignored the two people who fell to the ground and attacked the rest of the black shadows. And the two black shadows were not dead, they were still squirming on the ground, it turned out that Li Tong had just broken their tendons. At this moment, a huge iron ball fell from the sky and smashed them into meat sauce.

Retracting the iron ball, Rem looked at Li Tong, who was walking through the many dark shadows.

"Please Rem completely destroy the enemy I defeated, this group of scum is not worthy of living in this world!"

This is Li Tong's previous instructions to her, although I don't know why, Rem also thinks that this group of people should die, so she doesn't ask more.

Then Rem smashed the ball into another place, where the three Earth Worms were wriggling.

Soon, when the air in the village was clearly red, the battle was over.

At this time, Li Tong looked at the survivors in the village with regret and apology, from the prosperous village at the beginning, to now there are only five or six adults and a dozen children left. The children were still because at the beginning of the massacre, the adults consciously hid them in the warehouse where the food was stored, which saved the lives of all the children.

However, after this incident, the village of Alam will probably never return to its previous condition.

The surviving adults and children stood together, surrounded by the corpses of their families, and the shadows had all turned into meat sauce that had turned the land red.

There was silence, no cheers for surviving, no cries for the loss of their families, they just stared blankly at all this in front of them, silent.

"Rem, please take care of them here, and I'll go to the mansion now."

"Well, Li Tong, please ......"

"No problem, I know. I'll find and protect Ram, don't worry! ”

After Li Tong explained this, he ran in the direction of the mansion. And Rem held the iron ball with flesh and blood in his hand, looking at Li Tong's back.

"Self-righteous fellow, although my sister and Mistress Emilia are important, you must also take care of your own safety!"

After whispering this, Rem looked at the villagers behind her, preparing to organize them to a safe place first, as it was uncertain how many shadows there would be, and if they would come again. This is also the reason why Li Tong left her here, and he is also afraid that the black shadow will completely wipe out the last hope of the village.
