Under the light of the remnant sun, the originally peaceful small village has been replaced by piles of ruins, the indescribable desolate evening breeze gently blows through the ruins and broken walls all over the place, the charred black beams and pillars are cocked from the ruins, like a drowning hand stretched out from the water, several vultures screamed and fell from the sky, stood on it, swept the hundreds of corpses scattered on the ground with a sharp and greedy gaze, the smell of scorched earth mixed with the air and the stench of rotting corpses, enveloping the whole village.

Why? Why is this happening?

The amiable smile on his face had long since stiffened, replaced by a deep consternation, and he staggered all the way forward, stepping over the unrecognizable, long decomposing and stinking corpse, his eyes constantly scanning the ruins on the left and right, at this moment, how I wished I had made the wrong mistake, only to come to a strange, unfortunate village attacked by a demonic beast.

By the way, that's it, aren't you a road idiot? Perhaps the villagers I was familiar with, the kind village chief's mother-in-law, the hearty peasant uncle, and the little P child with two snots, were waiting for my arrival in a familiar village not far from here.

However, reality brutally wiped out the last trace of luck in my heart, and as I walked, a temporary shed made of wooden planks appeared in view, and the shed seemed to be so simple that it didn't even bother to pay attention to the attack, but became the only intact building in the entire ruined village.

This is a pergola that the villagers built for me. It was here that I used healing techniques to cure one villager after another, the village chief's mother-in-law brought water over, and dozens of little P children surrounded me, and I still remember it vividly.

Today, however, the pergola remains. But it was occupied by several desert coyotes, one coyote dragged the corpse in from a short distance, and then gathered around to chew it, the stinky corpse meat, rotting intestines and internal organs, were dragged out by their sharp mouths, bitten in their mouths and shook them, and then swallowed them in one gulp, looking indescribably satisfied. A shriveled corpse was quickly half gone, and there were not even bones left.

A coyote saw the arrival of an uninvited guest, swallowed the carrion in his mouth, and hissed in a low voice, and the other three coyotes also stopped, slowly turned around, and announced to the uninvited guest with dark green eyes and a dangerous roar that this was their territory, and all the food here belonged to them.

But the uninvited guests ignored their warnings and kept approaching. The coyote, the strongest of the leaders, finally couldn't hold back anymore and rushed forward first, as the leader, both against the enemy and against his own people. It must all use force to assert its prestige.

With his mouth wide open, there seemed to be a little residual flesh foam stuck between his salivating teeth. Emitting a disgusting stench, the coyote leader rushed towards the enemy with a speed that did not match its thin size, and it would be able to enjoy a fresh meal later, it thought as its cold pupils became more and more hideous, closer, closer, and when it was still a few meters away, it kicked with all its might, and pounced on the enemy like a sharp arrow. ^^^^ the claws in the meat pad are on display. Powerful and powerful jaw gap, in its world. Nothing has yet been able to defend itself against its claws, let alone the bite of its mouth, which is the simple and narrow self-confidence of a coyote leader.

"Boom-"

The body seemed to hit an iron wall, and was forcibly stopped, and the excessive speed made it have a headache, and its head and neck were almost broken, and when it came back to its senses, it realized that it was actually grabbed by a big hand that tightly bound its skull, held high in the air, the big hand became tighter and tighter, and the crisp cracking sound of the skull just pierced its ears, and before it could feel the pain, the life of the coyote leader ended.

"Z-"

With a crisp cracking sound, hot blood and brains spilled out of the gaps between his fingers, dripping to the ground, staining the white priest's robes, and as soon as the hand was released, the corpse of the coyote collar, whose entire head was only half open and his jaw, slowly fell.

"I don't understand ......"

The other three coyotes saw that the leader was easily killed, and suddenly let out a terrified bark, and scattered in panic, an ice arrow, one and three, in the air through a gorgeous trajectory towards the three desert coyotes, in front of magic, these coyotes seemed so fragile, the fleeing figure was caught up in an instant, as soon as Pu came into contact with the ice arrow, the coyote's body seemed to be immobilized, fur, muscles, blood, internal organs, brains, all were instantly frozen, consciousness was instantly annihilated, maintaining the posture of running before death, In this way, they become three ice sculptures, and when the sun rises tomorrow, their bodies will melt along with the ice and dissipate from this world.

"Whoosh-"

Successive ice arrows were excited, and then divided into several parts, like precise homing missiles, after crossing a graceful arc, the frightened vultures were frozen into ice sculptures one by one, falling to the ground and shattered, and the entire ruins were staging a gorgeous ice rain, and after a while, within a radius of several thousand meters of the entire ruins, except for one person standing quietly in the center, there was no life.

"I really don't understand, why, it's not enough that hell is already invading? Why do you want to kill your own kind? What's the use of spending so much effort to clean up the desert bandits, and what's the point of spending so much effort to clean up the rebellious and degenerate? ”

The collapsed houses clearly showed signs of burning, and the corpses had not been eaten, so it was clear that they were not the work of the Hells or the Monsters.

The bloody remnant sun, too dazzling, stabbing me almost out of breath, as if put in the oven, hot and stuffy, clutching my chest, I suddenly seemed to have finally surfaced from the water drowning, gasping for breath, my eyes were sore, wiped with my hands, leaving a hot and wet touch.

At this moment, I can't tell my heart. Whether it's a little more angry or a little more sad, I just feel that there are mixed tastes, just like seeing a traitor on the Internet who is shameless and clamoring to worship foreign people, or even exceeded, maybe. ^^^^ I have already regarded myself as a part of the darkness, so I can hold my breath so much, so painful

The heart hurts so much, the strength of the whole body is flowing, and there is nothing to vent? Panting, squinting his eyes and scanning the surroundings, it was uncomfortable except for the corpse or the corpse. I'd like to do something about it, and if those attacks are here, I'm ......

"Xiaofan, if you want to vent, just leak it."

The little ghost in my arms, that faint, with a wise and gentle tone, turned into a sweet spring, unblocking the blockage in my heart and squeezing the negative feelings in it. It burst out like a volcano.

Thank you, Alice, for this time, let me be willful.

There is no choice to merge with the little ghost. I channeled the violent energy in my body, and a violent aura centered on me. The whole village is enveloped, and the anger and sorrow and mad violence in my heart are quantified into one, and the catharsis is vented, as if I am taking drugs, which makes me feel like a fluttering fairy, and I am even more sad through alcohol, and everyone knows the truth, but no one can resist it.

"Roar

A low, tyrannical roar sounded, like a muffled thunder in the sky, barely keeping a trace of clarity. I strode out of the village. Walk faster and faster, and finally simply land on the ground with both hands. Running up on all fours, each bounce step left four shocking giant pits on the ground, so hot, so hot, as if on fire, finally met and grabbed dozens of "dwarf reptiles", I roared excitedly, I couldn't wait to burst out of the heat flowing in my body, turned into a raging fire to bake these reptiles into ashes, not enough, far from enough, I roared and stood up straight, and continued to search for a qiē "reptilian" within a radius of ten miles.

Today, a large area of monsters in the west of the Gravel Wasteland has suffered, within a radius of hundreds of miles, almost all the monsters have been brutally slaughtered, some have not even reacted, they were burned to ashes by the raging fire, more than ten meters high, the legend of the blood-red giant bear burning with raging fire all over the body spread in the bar: a blood-red giant bear that seems to have come out of hell, its whole body is surrounded by bright red fire, and with a wave of its big hand, it will bake pieces of monsters into ashes, The tyrannical breath alone made me like a frog stared at by a snake, and I was seen by it, and I thought it was going to be finished, but it just looked at me and roared away.

The witness said this, fearing that others would not believe him, and took out a few pieces of equipment that had been roasted and somewhat deformed: Look, this is the equipment left behind by the giant bear after he left.

Although it sounds a bit mysterious, but due to the prestige of witnessing the adventure, coupled with the fact that there is indeed not a single monster left there, and there are traces of being roasted by the fire in a large area, so it soon agreed, and the limelight overshadowed the super hidden merchant for a while, but since then, it has not appeared from time to time like the super hidden merchant, and over time, it has become a big news in the Western Kingdom, and even more and more spread, there are multiple versions - the adventure of encountering this blood bear, 1. The soul will be sucked away; 2. Enter the hidden area; 3. Get super equipment; 4……

When I woke up, I saw the pretty face of the little ghost, and I was still holding an empty energy potion bottle in my hand, and I was staring at my face with those watery silver eyes, and handing over half of the energy potion to her for safekeeping was indeed a wise decision for the devil, I smiled bitterly, and reached out to caress her smooth face. ^^^^

"Little one, how long have I been asleep."

"One day."

The little guy gently put his little hand on the back of my hand, as if he wanted to warm my cold palm with his own weak storage zài.

After a long time, it was much more convenient to have energy potions, so I staggered to my feet and summoned Xiaoxue out.

"Let's go back to the village." I jumped on the snow's back and stretched out my hand to the little ghost.

"Xiaofan, let's not go back, okay." Probably afraid that I would touch the scene again, the little ghost looked at my outstretched hand and said in a pleading tone.

"No, I'll have to go and see, maybe I'll survive." I said firmly.

Biting Sakura's lip, the little ghost nodded in acquiescence, stretched out his hand, and was pulled up by me and hugged into his arms. In fact, we all know that judging by the corpses of the vengeful land, the destruction of the village is not a matter of a day or two, and the chances of finding a survivor are very small, or they have already left, even if they are crushed in the rubble. He died of thirst and starvation.

"Little guy, don't scare me, it's really okay, why do you love to sleep so much lately?"

Seeing the little ghost's little head up and down, and dozing off again, I asked worriedly, if the death of those simple and lovely villagers made me sad and angry, if something happened to the little ghost, I could never imagine what would have happened to me at that time.

"Hmm. It's okay, probably because of greed, eating too many diamonds. The little ghost rubbed his sleepy eyes, answered in a daze, struggled a few times, and finally did not resist the temptation of the nebuta, and leaned into my arms and fell asleep.

I hope that's all there is to it, I hugged the little ghost's delicate body tightly, my chin gently rubbing between her floors, afraid to let go. She'll leave me.

At Xiaoxue's speed, in less than a moment, we were back in the village, instructing Xiaoxue and Poison Flower Vine to take care of the little ghost. I took the other four ghost wolves and launched a search in the village, damn it. Yesterday my brain was really dizzy, and I forgot to search it first, and this day has passed, maybe the person who should have been saved has died, I bit my lip and muttered silently.

As the day passed, the corpses in the village attracted many vultures and coyotes, but in the face of the powerful aura of the ghost wolves, they all left in terror, and I was not polite. Whoever has no time to leave. I made ice sculptures one after another. *****

Truth be told, the chances of surviving are slim to none. I didn't have much hope, but I didn't want to give up even the slightest possibility, so when Xiao Er sniffed on a certain ruin, signaling to me that there was a faint breath of life below, I almost didn't believe my eyes, there was really someone who had been buried in it for so long and could still survive, shouldn't it be an adventure?

With doubts, I opened the ruins little by little, this matter is not in a hurry, hundreds of pounds of stone beams are not a problem for me, but I have to be careful of the people who are pressed below, I am busy for half an hour, I carefully move away the last broken wall, and the people who are pressed below will see the light of day again.

The first thing that appeared in front of me was a middle-aged woman, she maintained a strange posture, kneeling on the ground, elbows on the ground, trying to support her body, as if she was flowing out of the gap under her body, but obviously, what Xiao Er said was not her, her entire upper body has been crushed by the wall, and her body has even begun to rot, and she knows that she has been out of breath for a long time, so I moved my eyes to the gap left under her, and I couldn't help but be moved.

There was no doubt that she was protecting the people under her in this position, and under her lay a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, who had passed out in a serious coma, and was breathing very weakly, and if she left it alone, she was afraid that she would die of exhaustion in a little more than half a day.

I also finally knew why such an ordinary child could hold on to the ruins for so many days, and in addition to the hard support of the woman who was on top of him, I now had the woman's hands, one hand priing the boy's jaw and opening his mouth, and the five fingers of the other hand had been bitten to pieces, and finally kept the position of putting the artery of the arm in the boy's mouth and died, and it was almost imaginable that it was this great woman, after the boy passed out, pry open his mouth with one hand, Then she bit her own fingers with her mouth, and kept the boy alive with her own blood, and when one finger was dripping, and then the other one, and all five fingers were bitten, and then she bit again, until all five fingers were bitten off, and then she bit off her artery, and put it to the boy's mouth, and finally died.

Is this a mother's love? I looked at this ordinary and great mother with respect, and I only felt that every power in the world seemed so powerless in front of her.

With a solemn salute, I moved her body away, her body was already stiff, and she had maintained this posture, like a cicada shell left after the transformation, and then, after I first used healing techniques to cover the boy's whole body, and made sure that there were no more wounds and fractures in his body, I picked him up and put him on the open space, first poured him a little water, and then diluted a drop of energy potion, let him drink it, and after the boy's breath stabilized, I touched his face with the rest of the water.

"Huh?"

After carefully examining the boy's appearance. I exclaimed in surprise, this boy turned out to be the sturdy and sturdy simple boy whose future dream was to become a paladin, and I remember that his name was Gaia.

It's just that now he looks really miserable, and the ulcers on his skin have been cured by me. But after being buried in the rubble for an unknown number of days, the original sturdy body has become as thin as firewood, and I couldn't immediately recognize it when I saw it at first sight.

Two days later, Gaia, who was extremely weak, woke up, and as soon as his eyes were opened, he kept muttering to his mother and grasping my hand like a wandering young beast.

"Sleep well and rest, kid, you'll be fine." I probed him lightly on the forehead. There is a slight fever, and this minor illness is more self-conscious, even if it is a treatment.

"Uncle Pastor, please, be ...... You must save my mother, she is above me, please, please......"

After seeing that it was me, Gaia kept muttering, leaving two lines of tears in her eyes. Then he fainted again.

No focal length, no color, gray pupils, like a dead man. Look at the scorched earth ruins.

This was the second time Gaia had woken up, after accepting what I had told him. The expression and the lifeless eyes made me feel a little palpitations even when I saw it.

"I want revenge."

After looking at the wreckage of the village all day, Gaia suddenly turned around and said to me.

"What about after revenge?" I gave him a cold look.

"I want revenge." He repeated again with a blank face.

Resisting the urge to slap him, I knew that doing so would smash his head to pieces, grabbing the hem of his shirt and lifting him whole.

"Do you know how you got to where you are now? It was your mother who saved her life with her own blood!! ”

"I know!" Gaia remained expressionless

"How can she desperately protect you, is it just to let you live with hatred?"

"I don't know, I really don't know, except for revenge. What else can I do? What's the point of being alive, why did my mother save me. Will you forsake me? Uncle Pastor, can you sue me? ”

The lifeless boy finally showed a hint of hesitation, he was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child after all.

"Very well, it's good that you can ask that." I put Gaia down and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm not against you taking revenge, but your mother exchanged her life for your survival, but she definitely wants to see you now, but hopes that you will live well, if you don't have a goal, then I'll decide one for you." I said, pointing to the ruins.

"This village has a history of thousands of years, it is the place where your ancestors have lived for generations, your homeland, its importance to the villagers, including your parents and relatives, I am afraid you know better than me, and I don't want it to disappear, if I were you, I would shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the village."

"Reconstruction...... Village? ”

Gaia looked at the piles of ruins, his lifeless eyes seemed to start to come alive, and after staring at it for a long time, he began to mutter: "That's right, if the village can be rebuilt, Dad, Mom, and the villagers will probably be a little happier......

He suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a firm look: "Uncle priest, I understand, thank you, but before rebuilding the village, I still have to take revenge and kill those robbers." In the end, the boy had murderous intent in his eyes, and the seeds of hatred had been planted deep in his mind.

"Of course, but if you want to kill the enemy yourself, you must have strength, and if you want to rebuild the village, you must also have a certain strength, and you can't do it now, you know?"

Gaia nodded.

"Then, I'll send you to Rogge." With a faint smile, I brought Gaia back to Rugoin and teleported him back to Rogge.

"When you see the old man named Farah, tell him that you want power, and that's it."

Outside the teleportation station, I gave Gaia one last word, and nodded silently, this simple and kind boy no longer had the smile he used to have, hatred occupied his brain, and it also deprived him of his feelings, and I didn't know if time could fade it. Looking at the figure that disappeared into the white light, I sighed slightly.

Walking out of the Mage's Guild and looking up at the gray sky of Rugaoin, I narrowed my eyes again, trying to hide the anger and murderous intent inside.

"Twins...... Is it? ”

It was learned from Gaia's mouth that before the massacre in the village. It seems that after inquiring about Acrue and Siruth, combined with the incident they had told me about being chased by the bad guys when Lugoin was in his time, the answer was already coming out - the gang who tried to kidnap Acro and Siruth when Lugoin was in time did not give up, and followed after inquiring about their village, and then Acruus and Siluth were already in Rog's camp by then, and the enraged robbers slaughtered the entire village.

"This world, it's so gloomy, it's so gloomy."

I shook my head. Try to calm myself down, Masif still has more than a month to come back, but luckily, I've found something to do to save time.

Boys, you've me off this time.

In the royal palace of Rugoin, in the king's study with heavy military handles.

"Majesty, I think you know what I mean."

King Azi was still sitting in a chair with such a fat body, babbling at the slightest movement, making people worry about whether he would collapse at any time.

"I understand what the elder means, don't worry. Five days at most, I will give you a satisfactory result. ”

Az laboriously stood up from his chair and solemnly promised, given Lugoin's current situation. The destruction of a small village is not really something that deserves much attention, so it breeds a lot of bold guys. Of course, it is not difficult to investigate such a big move, which is why King Azi is so confident.

"Then I'll thank you here first, this time I owe you a favor, if there is any difficulty in the future, I will do my best to help." I bowed slightly.

"Haha, with the favor of the elder, it is worth it to send half of the kingdom out."

Aziz knows I'm not a polite person, so I'm not hypocritical. Generously accepted it.

Well. Then there's the Mercenary Guild, which is easier to deal with. As long as you have money, everything is easy to do, and that kid Teucer, I heard that the mix has been booming recently, and it's time to go and say hello.

Two days, anxiously waiting for two days, first the news of the Mercenary Guild, then King Az's side, and finally Teucer also ran over, all the news pointed to a target, a rogue organization called Lanxi, there seems to be some Earl's secret support, and the Mercenary Guild even inquired that it was this Earl who ordered the kidnapping of the twins. Very good, I don't care what Lan Xi or Lan Dong is, and I don't bother to know what this count is, as long as there are clues, Azi Ke said that my favor is worth most of the kingdom, although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but sacrificing a small earl can be exchanged for a great favor, but it is definitely a million benefits.

The national system was dispatched, and I didn't fall behind on the mercenary side, and after collecting enough money, Grez, who couldn't stop smiling, said at the moment that he would definitely cooperate with the army to wipe out this organization and capture them all alive, in some aspects, the efficiency of the mercenary guild is far higher than that of the army.

Standing on the top of the high tower in the wind, I coldly watched the scene of the fire below, the army had surrounded this place, not a drop of water, and the mercenaries even explored the underground waterways that only allowed rats to pass here.

On the other hand, the lazy crow passed the news, and there was also a commotion in the villa area, unexpectedly, the place where the earl lived was only a few streets away from my villa, tsk, it was really fate.

That night, more than 300 members of the Lanxi organization, including the Earl of XX in the brain, were wiped out, and the next day, hundreds of members who were outside were arrested one after another, and it is certain that under the dual pursuit of the state and the mercenary system, there will be no more fish in the entire Western Kingdom.

So what do you do with all this garbage? Looking at the two reports in my hand, my index finger was lightly clasped, I squinted my eyes, and tried to think of the most appropriate way to torture and kill that XX earl first? Of course not, you have to save a few for Gaia.

After thinking about it, I decided that I wanted to go to the dungeon and take a closer look at the faces of these garbage, maybe there would be some inspiration at that time......

After writing this chapter, Xiao Qi couldn't help but sigh, it was a big chapter foreshadowing.
