Chapter 15: The Dead in Vain

Alina's spear of victory completely crushed the little courage that the goblins themselves had left, and less than half of the goblins left at the beginning no longer had the fierce and brutal appearance they had just now, and they began to flee one after another.

Manny Wilf breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his caravan had been saved, and couldn't help but wonder which church the five young girls belonged to.

Although they dress like the mountain people, the mountain people cannot learn the arts, and even the most advanced magic skills have to go to the sacred sites of the gods (i.e., churches, temples, sanctuaries and the like) for a long time to learn.

And the divine technique called 'upgrading' in their mouths just now is even more magical, it can restore all injuries and energy in an instant, even in the Chongbai Church, this kind of divine skill can only be held by a few bishops, right?

What made him even more frightened was that these teenagers and girls seemed to be innocent and innocent, but in fact, they did not leak a drop of water, and did not reveal the slightest useful information from beginning to end, and even the casting of the 'Upgrading Divine Technique' was extremely hidden, even with the vision he had cultivated across the empire, he could not be sure which of them was casting the magic for a while.

"Mr. Wilf." Just as Manny was still struggling with the enigmatic Elina, one of the guards he hired approached: "Something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" When Mane heard this, he immediately became vigilant: "What did those little ghosts do?" ”

Could it be that those imps are the dependents of some evil god, and they think that we have broken their abilities, so they plan to kill people?

"No, they still get together to discuss things they don't understand, such as 'mission rewards are great' or 'skill trees' and so on." The guard shook his head, "I want to say that when our people were cleaning up the battlefield, they found that the goblin corpses they killed were gone!" ”

"What?"

He looked in the direction of Alina and the others, and found that there were no goblin corpses on the ground around them, but goblins' teeth, nails, and crotch cloths had fallen to the ground, and they looked very messy.

Manny couldn't help frowning, although the corpses of the goblins were not valuable, and they didn't mean to bring those corpses, but it was too bizarre that all the corpses that were still there just now had disappeared...... Coupled with the strange behavior of those teenagers and girls, he always felt that the whole thing had a strange smell.

While Mane, the traveling merchant, was still confused, Alina and the others were given a new mission.

"Sir, can I take a moment of your time?" Then Manny saw Edward suddenly approaching him, and then said with the same expression that a casino man had seen a fat sheep, "I wish I could tell you about our Heavenly Father and Savior, the god of games." ”

Mane: "??? ”

"It's finally here!"

While Alina and her party are desperately trying to Amway the Church of the God of Games, Angela also arrives at his fiefdom, an unnamed town just outside the Valley of the Dead.

The town looks very eerie and dilapidated, and if it were Angra before the game system was obtained, even if the old coachman was still alive, he would be so frightened that he would want to leave his fiefdom and flee back to his hometown.

But now it was completely different, and he even had an incredible sense of kinship and belonging to this run-down town.

"This is my fiefdom......"

"Outlander, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded, startling Angela.

He turned his head in the direction from which the voice came and saw a withered, emaciated old man standing a few meters away on crutches.

His face was so thin that it looked like a skeleton at first glance, but his eyes were as sharp as knives, giving Angela the illusion of tingling as he was staring.

"I'm the new lord here, Angela Fat!"

Angela took out the appointment paper from his package: "From now on, this town and the surrounding land are my territory!" ”

The old man gave Angela a deep look.

It was only when Angela felt that his scalp was a little numb that the old man shook his head and said, "As you can see, this land is extremely barren, and the inhabitants of this land are also poor, and they cannot even afford to eat food now, but can only feed on bark and grass roots, and you cannot squeeze a single copper out of it." ”

Angela knew that the old man was warning him, and he also understood that his behavior of running alone to take office in the territory was actually quite dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would be killed by the lords 'accidents on the road', so many lords took their guards with them when they took office.

So he tried to reassure the other party: "I will not oppress my people. ”

"You don't understand what I mean, kid." The old man shook his head: "Half a month ago, in order to stop the further march of the undead, the Kingdom Army set fire to the forest outside the Valley of the Dead. The fire spread to the neighborhood, turning half a year's work into charcoal. If there is no way to solve the famine, you, the lord from His Majesty's acknowledgment, will be the target of anger. ”

"Didn't the Kingdom Army compensate the town?"

Angela asked in surprise.

"Of course, kid." The old man said slowly, "Who do you think the 'vain dead' in the name of the Valley of the Dead refers to?" Are the corpses of the valley long since turned into undead creatures? Naturally not. ”

He pointed to his chest with his empty hand and said bitterly, "It's us." The civilians who die in the battle between the army and the undead are the real 'dead in vain'! ”

Angela was dumbfounded by the old man's words.

Although he had long been prepared for a very difficult and poor life in his territory, he did not expect that the truth would be even more cruel than he imagined.

How can an ordinary person who doesn't know how to fight magic and magic survive in this bleak land?

At this time, Angela's mind once again remembered the miraculous being who had saved his life.

Lords game system!
