Chapter 427: A Visit to Almorica Village
July 14, 12:30 p.m
"Ha~ It's finally here!" When Randy saw the peaceful village in front of him, he immediately sighed, "Hurry up and get some food first, Lloyd, you have no opinion, right?" ”
"No opinion" Lloyd touched his stomach, he was really a little hungry, after all, he was a person who didn't walk often, even when he was in the wild survival performance, he could catch some fruit from the forest to satisfy his hunger, and it was impossible to fight monsters to satisfy his hunger just now
I always feel like in a certain world we will fill our stomachs with what falls from the monster - by the Special Service Support Division
"That," Ellie squirmed as if to say something, and a faint blush appeared on Theo's face
"May I ask if there is a place around here that can relieve my hands, I am grateful" Chong stopped the villagers and asked a few words, then turned around and walked in one direction, "You go to the restaurant first, I'll be back soon"
"Tio and I have something to do, so let's go eat first!" Ellie pulled Theo behind him
"Let's go," not long after they left, Chong made a detour from the back of the wooden house
"What a gentle guy~" Randy laughed and said, "Mmmm, you and Lloyd are very good at pleasing girls."
"Put away your whimsical brain," Chong said coldly, "Do you want them to say that they want to go to the toilet directly in front of you?"
"Alright, let's go to the restaurant and order first," Lloyd said with a smile
"Oooh! I can eat three bowls, "Three bowls of insect dishes, do you want it?"
"The restaurant here is full of an idyllic atmosphere" Randy looked around as soon as he took his seat, this village is very small, there are only about twenty or thirty people, which is not difficult to explain, after all, it is as sparsely populated as Russia, and at the same time, more and more people have settled abroad in recent years, even the population of Crossbell itself is only about 70,000 people, which is pitifully small, and it is considered to be called an autonomous prefecture to give them face
"Isn't there a menu here?" said Lloyd, stunned when he saw that there was no menu on the table
"On the wall" Chong looked at it a few times and then pointed to the wall, on which there were a few posters pasted in bits and pieces, and there was also a recipe for cooking underneath, "Pastoral omelet rice and sauce soup, the five of you can order whatever you want"
"Five servings of pastoral omelet rice and sauce soup right? Okay~Come right away~" The lovely waitress went to the counter to order immediately
"Ma Dan, the people in this small place seem to be well versed in the way of business, okay, if I lose, I will pay the tuition for this meal, you countrymen really know how to play."
A moment later
"Please use it~" When Ellie and Theo came back, the food had already been served, and the action was quite fast, and it was really premeditated
"By the way, this is a local specialty honey tea, and it's given for free," the waiter brought a few cups of tea from the counter
"Goo tastes so good," Randy grabbed and poured it into his mouth, then was surprised that "the taste is moderate, and the sweetness will linger in his throat for a long time after he eats it"
"The specialty of Almorica Village is honey, and it is also popular in other countries," Ellie also tasted the tea, "but it tastes so good~"
"Well, sweet," Tio took a bite as well
"Don't you know that drinking so much honey tea before eating will lead you to eat?" The waiter hesitated and reminded him, "I'm sorry, but it's for the guests to use as a dessert after eating, and if you eat it before the meal, it will affect the taste of the food, so the owner is still confident in the taste of the omelet rice."
"Ah, sorry, we didn't know about this" Ellie hurriedly put the tea down "We'll taste it seriously"
"Well, I'm sorry everyone" The waiter smiled and continued to take care of the other guests, although there were few people, but the restaurant was full
"It doesn't seem like there was any panic because of the monster attack," Lloyd said vaguely as he ate omelet rice
Chong looked out the window a few times, it seemed that the demonic beast had not come to the village, there was no sign of loss of the house, and there were no footprints on the ground, it seemed that he still understood the rules
“?!” By the time they come back, they've already eaten, I'll go?! So fast?
"It's you looking out the window for too long," Tiou, the little girl, actually shamelessly gave an explanation! If I hadn't gone back now, I'm afraid you'd have eaten my share!
Twenty minutes later
"Oops~I'm full~" After the four of them finished eating, they walked out of the restaurant and planned to go to the local village chief to inquire about the situation of the Warcraft
"Randisan ordered three servings of omelet rice, it's really good to eat" At the same time, he took two cups of honey tea from the counter, and even Lloyd drank two bowls of sauce soup by the way, and Chong waited until they had eaten all those extra meals before he ate everything, so the difference between people
Chong seemed to understand something, it turned out that the group of guys in the house ate at about the same speed as himself because he wanted someone to wash the dishes! The scheming who broke their lives! I'm embarrassed to eat by myself, so why don't you remind me! Even if it's a mocking reminder, it's good!
"The village chief's house is the house at the end, let's hurry over, we have to go to another place in the afternoon to ask for information," Lloyd nodded after asking where the place was
"Then please don't eat so much, okay" Tiora said with a disdainful look in his eyes, his heart hurts, my heart hurts so much that I eat so slowly
"Ah, I'm sorry" When he walked in, he happened to bump into a purple-haired man
"No, it's okay," Chong said indifferently, he was fine, but if he hadn't heard the sound of the door opening and stabilized his footsteps, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground instead
"It looks like a businessman," Ellie said after seeing him leave, indeed, the clothes on his body were obviously much more high-end than those of the people here, and there was a guide car parked outside, and the man still had a key in his pocket just now, it should be his
"Anyway, this should be the village chief's family, go in" Oh ghost! I just remembered that you don't knock anywhere you enter! Are the people here so simple?!!
"Who are you?" The simple and honest village chief saw the five tyrants who broke through the door in front of him. The queen was stunned, "Oh, is it a guest, I'm the village chief here, Toruda, what's the matter?" ”
"Hello, we are members of the Special Service Support Section of the Police Department, and we are here today to ask you about the Warcraft attack that happened in our village," Lloyd said politely, "Is it convenient now?" ”
"Oh, that's it, please sit down," Old Man Toruda greeted them warmly, "Of course it's convenient, hey, the group of people from the garrison have been here several times, but they can't ask for details, etc., you just said that the police station belongs to?" ”
"Well, is that really the case?" said Theo, with a low sigh
"Yes, we are not from the Guerrilla Association," Lloyd took out his credentials from his arms after a moment of loneliness, "I came here to ask you about the attack on the monsters in my village."
"As a police officer"
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the inquiry
"I'm sorry, I'm mistaken, because the police really don't come here for anything, especially the police station in the city, but the guerrillas led by Mr. Arios have come to inquire many times" The village chief of Toruda nodded "Then please ask, I will tell you what I know."
"Well, can you tell us when it happened?" Lloyd got to the point after a reluctance
"Well, it was a full moon night three weeks ago, a group of demonic beasts sneaked into the village and started to make a fuss, the crops and beekeeping boxes were destroyed, of course no one saw it, because everyone had to get up early to do farm work, and it was only in the morning that they got up in the morning and saw the situation and the footprints on the ground before they knew that they were victimized"
"Are the footprints wolf-like," Ellie added
"Yes, because there are often monsters of that kind in the vicinity, so we know very well, but they have never gathered to attack villages and towns, so the guerrillas are also concerned about this," Chief Toruda nodded
"Then the garrison searched the surrounding area, but found nothing, right?" Randy asked
"Then there's nothing to ask, right? Let's go and ask the other villagers," Lloyd gestured to his feet
"Wait, young man, I'll say a few more words when you come all the way, you can see it as the old man's gibberish" The village chief of Toruda suddenly said, "Little girl, don't remember it, I'm afraid your boss won't see it much"
"Have you ever heard of the term Divine Wolf?" When they were all back seated, the old man spoke
"Divine wolf?" Lloyd and the others looked puzzled
"The divine beast that guards Crossbell, the white wolf who rescues the helpless on the battlefield," Chong said indifferently, "Do you see those footprints as theirs?" How is that possible"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know this legend, young man," said the village chief Toruda in surprise
"The library has this book to rent, so I borrowed it when I had nothing to do, I thought it was to introduce history, but I didn't expect it to be a fairy tale book" Chong said indifferently, "At most, it's just a story from more than sixty years ago, how can there be such a creature, maybe it's just a nonsense written by someone who laughs at the rapid progress of the current society"
"It's too arbitrary to say it's a fairy tale, isn't it?" The good-natured old man said softly, "But it's true, the current social progress is too fast, sometimes you will be surprised by the development of the city when you take a bus to the city, people are now too obsessed with the future and underestimate the past, the legend of the wolf is not a warning?" ”
"No, they're just feeling sorry for what they've lost," because they were talking to the old man, so Chong's tone was a little more soothing than usual, "but those who reminisce about the past are just eating too much and are idle, pinning their hopes on legends is a lie to deceive themselves, those people are just hoping that someone can change their current situation, and stories are their best spiritual sustenance, there is no god wolf in the world, not even a god, let alone a messenger of God."
"I didn't come up with any answers in this questioning, but I appreciate your time out of your busy schedule, and I take my leave," Chong got up and was about to leave
"Wait, I'm going to ask the villagers."
"The results given are all the same, I don't need to draw answers from any subtle clues" Chong Leng said "That's just a waste of time, you are all wasting time, if this is a problem with Warcraft, then what evidence do you need, just kill those Warcraft directly, and be reasonable with non-human things?" Even if you want to seek psychological comfort, you shouldn't do it."
"Boring, you go back to the city to find me by yourself" Chong walked quickly to the door, and then slammed the door shut
(strange) as soon as I went out, I couldn't help but hold on to the threshold and gasp for breath (why do I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, why do I always feel a little anxious?) )
(Like you hate something?) )
"Hehe" stroked the soft fur of the animals around her, and the charming-looking woman chuckled
"As long as there is no one to help, it's fine" Confident that the teenager was definitely not his opponent when he fought alone, the woman patted the head of the animal next to her again, "Angry, keep running, it's not enough now, if you want to spread any emotional fragmentation"
"Sooner or later, I'll turn this place into a battlefield"
