Mu Chen and his party were full of water and food, the six of them ate a total of eighteen drawers of steamed buns, Mu Chen and the boy alone ate ten drawers, the sisters were dumbfounded, although it was the first time to see Mu Chen eat so much, but what was even more surprising was that this thin young man, they didn't understand how so many buns were packed into his body.

"Boy, it's been a long time since you've eaten. Mu Chen asked.

"Ten days. The boy licked the oil off his fingers.

"How old are you, what is your name. ”

"Fourteen, my name is Guo Erniu. ”

"This name is good, Erniu, you have two cows in your family, right?" Mu Chen's attitude was gentle, and he was no longer so irritable.

"My dad wanted to have a cow at home, so he named me and my brother Da Niu and Er Niu. ”

"Heh, then do your two names work, do you have a cow at home?"

"No, I had saved enough money, but I didn't expect the Warcraft to come and take our village..."

"What's wrong with your village?" continued. ”

"I... Our village was ruined by ghouls, they eat everything, chickens, pigs, cows, sheep and... There are also villagers, even the hired people who have been hired by each family have been eaten, and the village chief escaped with us, and let us go into the homeland city to hide, and he went back alone... When I went back, I said that I wanted to avenge the villagers, and burned the whole village, and we... There's no going back. Guo Erniu cried.

Chunyue and Mo Cheng wiped their tears on the side, Jiayue and Qi Luna were expressionless, Mu Chen looked at Guo Erniu indifferently, and waited until he stopped sobbing before he opened his mouth and continued to ask, "What about your family?"

"My mom and my brother were eaten, and my dad ran away with me, and I don't know where I am. ”

"What about the other villagers?"

"In total, dozens of people ran out, and those who had relatives went to their relatives, and the rest were brought here by the army. ”

"Did you get the hirer from the association?"

"Yes, we scraped together fifty gold coins, and two men came, and although they fought stubbornly, they were outnumbered, and in the end they were also eaten. ”

"How long ago was that?"

"About a month. At first, the villagers approached the hooligans and asked them to pay back the money, but they used all kinds of excuses to shirk all the responsibility, and then they simply used force to threaten us. ”

"Why don't you go to the Noble Council to file a complaint?"

"I can't get out, the guards at the gate won't let me out at all, and the chamber of commerce that comes here to recruit workers won't hire us refugees who have just arrived. ”

"What do you live on here?"

"The Chamber of Commerce sometimes issues odd manual work that can earn some money, but it needs to be guarded by guards. Officials from the Department of Political Affairs come every three days to distribute food to refugees like us, who have just arrived, and they barely starve to death. ”

"It seems that this little city lord has done some good deeds. Mu Chen sighed, and then asked, "It's been a month, what are you still doing in the association?"

"I don't ask them to pay them back, I just hope that they can send another mercenary to our village to see if there are any survivors, my dad is also..."

"Don't cry, your fate is like this, you have to have the strength to fight against fate. I've taken your commission. ”

"Really, but you... Patriarch, can the Patriarch help me?"

"Don't believe me, then take the Patriarch with you. ”

"Really, do you have the final say?"

"You are stupid, he is Mu Chen, the head of the pioneers, you still dare..."

"Okay, you go to Wei Gonglu and tell him about this, so that those hooligans are better off than dead, but don't hurt their lives, and he will do it himself. Mu Chen interrupted Mo Cheng and told her to find Wei Gonglu.

"You sisters come with me, Black Dragon. Mu Chen didn't wait for them to respond, and directly summoned the black dragon.

After the black dragon landed, it spread its wings and roared to the sky, and the residents here were so frightened that they covered their ears and curled up on the ground, and when Guo Erniu came to his senses, Mu Chen and Qi Luna were already sitting on the back of the black dragon.

"Boy, come up. ”

"Don't be afraid, this is his mount, not a monster. Chunyue put her hands on Guo Erniu's shoulders from behind her back and explained gently.

"This is the dragon... I... I've only heard about it from old people, I've never seen it, it's so..."

"What do you say, come up quickly. Mu Chen urged again.

The two sisters took Guo Erniu to climb the black dragon together, and Mo Cheng waved at them unwillingly at the bottom, she also wanted to go with the patriarch, but she didn't dare to disobey Mu Chen's order, so she had to watch them leave.

The smoke and dust brought up by the black dragon took off made the slum look even more gray, and when viewed from the sky, it was only a street away, prosperous and chaotic on the other.

"How can he also have a dragon, is he as powerful as the Patriarch. "The Golden Dragon of the Great Patriarch is well known in Baoling Prefecture, but I have never heard of other people being able to summon the Dragon Clan, so Guo Erniu asked Chunyue, who was sitting behind him.

"He's Mu Chen, haven't you heard of him? I thought you humans knew about him. ”

"Mu Chen, I've heard of it, but... Aren't you human? So you're—" Guo Erniu instinctively moved forward.

"I'm from the wasteland, I'm here with Mu Chen, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. ”

"Wastelander, how did the wastelander get here, sister, you better go back quickly, you will die. ”

"Well, what will die, no one here can hurt me. ”

"The year before last, a wasteland man ran to our village and was kindly taken in by a villager, but the army searched all the surrounding villages with the guards of the merchant group, and when he found this wasteland man, he directly cut off all his hands and feet, and the villager was also executed by the guards. Sister, you better hurry back. ”

"Kid, are you worried about our lives or death or are you afraid of being affected?" asked Jiayue, sitting next to Junyue.

"You are also from the wasteland, I, Guo Erniu, am not greedy for life and afraid of death, and I have a name and surname, don't keep calling me a child. ”

"Hehe, this kid is quite temperamental, it's not your time to cry and cry and beg hooligans. ”

"You..."

"Sister, you don't have to say a word. I'll call you Erniu, my name is Jabek Chunyue, and she is my sister, Jabek Jiayue. We are from the wasteland, and we are going to visit the human continent with Mu Chen. ”

"Boy, this is the direction of your village, how far is it from Baoling City, what is it called. "The black dragon flew in the southwest direction of Baoling City under Mu Chen's instructions.

"Yes, it's in this direction, it's called Qiming Village. How do you know the location of our village?"

"I don't know where your village is, but I know where the ghouls are, they are afraid of light, they only haunt at night, they move slowly, they usually move dozens of kilometers around the tomb, your village must be in that range. ”

"Our village is 12 kilometers west of their graves, so it's not hard to find. ”

"You've lived there for so long, and you know the exact location of the ghouls, how could you be slaughtered overnight, and what happened?"

"The wings of the villages were taken away, and the original annual state tax only collected money and food, but last year, the Department of Finance and Taxation suddenly notified that the taxes and fees were replaced by the wings, and there would be no light source without the wings, although I made preparations, but I didn't expect so many ghouls to come, dozens of times more than in previous years, so..."

"What is the Department of Finance and Taxation doing?"

"I don't know, I heard that the surrounding villages and towns have also been taken away. ”

"What is Piercing Wing, and what is it for?" asked Junyue.

"Penetrating the wings are the wings of the spirit race, which has the effect of amplifying the light, they live on the top of the tree in the forest of giant trees, the huge canopy covers the sky and the sun, and they can't see the sun at all, so they use their wings as a medium to magnify to meet the needs of normal life. Humans have also begun to collect penetrating wings in order to defend against photophobia-type monsters, using this principle to illuminate villages at night so that monsters do not dare to approach, which is why their ancestors have been able to live around ghoul tombs for generations. ”

"Spirit Clan, is Spirit Clan also a demonic beast?" asked Jiayue.

"No, like our mercenary, it's human-looking, but it's a little lighter-skinned, and it has a pair of wings on its back, so it can fly. They live in trees to avoid demonic beasts, they have no quarrel with the world, not many people have seen them at all, and if it weren't for the occasional pick-up of fallen wings from the Forest of Giant Trees, humans would not have known that there was such a race. ”

"It turns out that there are other races in the human continent besides you, how come I have never heard of it in the wasteland. ”

"There are many different races here, but only we are strong enough to set foot in the wasteland, other races don't have this ability, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it. ”

"Boy, you said that the surrounding villages and towns have been taken away, so don't they also lose their ability to defend themselves. After Mu Chen finished explaining the Spirit Clan's penetrating wings, he then asked Guo Erniu.

"Then I don't know, I haven't met any other villagers in the slums, and besides our village, the closest to the grave is a village called Ciguang, and if the ghouls go out again, they should not be spared. ”

"Then look for your father's whereabouts first, and then visit the surrounding villages and towns. Why did the Finance and Taxation Department take away the Tho Wing?" Mu Chen turned back with questions.

Mo Cheng left the slum and returned to the noble council, asked the guard at the door about Wei Gonglu's whereabouts, and was just about to go to his mansion when he met Lao Chen, who also hurried out to meet him after learning the news of Mo Cheng's return.

"Mo Cheng, are you back, have you eaten? I'll ask someone to prepare it for you immediately. ”

"Don't eat it, I have something urgent to find the Imperial Assistant. With that, he turned around and walked out.

"What kind of urgency to tell me, why are you alone? The Patriarch didn't come back with you?" Lao Chen grabbed Mo Cheng and looked around.

"Let go, let go, I said that there is something urgent, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. ”

"How can you talk nonsense, you name it, I'll do it for you. ”

"If I don't let go, I'm going to use force, Mu Chen ordered..."

"What are you doing here, Mo Cheng, why are you back?" Wei Rou clearly knew through the conversation with Lao Chen that he would definitely send someone to deliver a letter to the old city lord Quan Yuren, so he asked his maid to go to her uncle's mansion to report the letter, but just after going out, he happened to meet Mo Cheng who came back, so the maid went back to report the matter, and she hurried over.
