Chapter Seventy-Six: Departure

It turned out that as early as a hundred years ago, when Wolfheart Town was first built, the people at that time signed a contract with the spirit of nature in this forest, the deer head, and sacrificed every year in exchange for the right to walk in the forest for their own use and the protection of the deer head.

Later, time passed, and the deer head spirit often fell into a deep sleep, and slowly the people of Wolfheart Town began to perfunctory, and finally began to give up the sacrifice. But the deer-headed elf slept in the fairy wilderness and didn't care. Until the antlers that were used as sacrificial instruments were stolen and woke it up......

It was originally a human being who broke his oath first, and he dared to destroy my altar! The Buddha also has a fire!

So the deer head spirit began to take revenge on those who dared to break into the forest, killing them mercilessly. In the eyes of the deerhead, humans are no more noble than other creatures in the forest. Since you have chosen to break your vows, let things go back to the way they were.

However, this deer head spirit is indeed very good at talking, and after a little persuasion from the elf, the fire was extinguished.

It means that if humans don't come to destroy the altar of the Sprinkler family in the future, the Sprinkler family will no longer pay attention to this group of stupid humans. But it's definitely not going to protect them. Let them see the cruelty of the forest from now on.

Xia Luo felt that since they had already made sense that the deer head spirit would no longer attack the humans who entered the forest, it could be regarded as having completed the task. So he returned to Wolf's Heart Town and handed over the task. The 8 big golden dragons rewarded by the mission, two for each person. Of course Alice doesn't.

Fei Luo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Made, the head of the regiment is black gold!

Charlotte, this kid can get paid by two people (and the governor) alone, what a advantage. I'd love to have one, too!

The elven royal sister felt beautiful when she got two big golden dragons, but the value of the three secondary healing leaves she took out alone was more than two big golden dragons. But there is no way, being rich is capricious.

When Charlotte mentioned how to distribute the two leather armors provided by the Mother Earth Temple, the elven maiden waved her hand casually, "You guys take it and dispose of it." I'm not interested in this stuff. ”

Xia Luo almost knelt on the ground on the spot and begged for support, "A strong body will warm the bed, do you still lack a pendant on your leg?" ”

"Rich people hate it...... Damn big-breasted woman! Alice muttered.

Originally, everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but unexpectedly, the mayor still looked worried. Although he didn't say anything, anyone could see that his face was not very good. But that's none of Charlotte's business.

Taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters, we have already patched up the baskets you poked, and if there are any problems in the future, it will not be our problem.

The next morning, while they were having breakfast, Charlotte heard a not-so-good news.

Last night wolves tried to attack the village outside the town, but there were no casualties, but the livestock suffered a lot of damage. And according to the hunters in the town, traces of wolves began to appear in the forest outside the town.

Sure enough, the mayor's concerns were not without reason. However, Charlotte no longer plans to stay in Wolf's Heart to help clear out the wolves, he is not a savior, and everything he can has already done. The rest is their own choice.

Just as Charlotte and the others were about to set off again, the mayor sent for them to come over, saying that they had something important to discuss.

Fei Luo looked at Xia Luo and said, "You decide, do you want to go directly to Helsin or go to see ......"

Because Charlotte also said in the morning that she would leave early and didn't want to stay and wipe the butts of the people in Wolfheart, Fatty Luo asked Charlotte to decide whether to go to see the mayor. He didn't care anyway.

Charlotte groaned for a moment, but finally decided to go and see what the mayor had to say, "I think it's better to go and see it, it's not too late." Besides, the settlement was also very happy before, so let's give face. ”

The group followed the guards to the village outside the town that had been attacked by wolves, and found that the mayor and Elf Luna were already there.

The fence of the village has been damaged, and deep scratches can even be seen in some places. There were large patches of blood on the ground, and some scattered carcasses of domestic animals that had been gnawed by wolves had not had time to be disposed of.

Some women and children were weeping, and the men of the village were all grim-faced, armed with weapons in their hands, and some of them were still bloodied. An atmosphere called "pain" lingers around.

In this world where productivity is backward, there is no need to elaborate on the importance of a large animal. This is the most important asset of the family, and it is likely that it has been accumulated by two generations. But now it's gone, and it was gnawed to bones by wolves overnight.

What about later life? Will those damned wolves come back? If the animals are eaten, will they start attacking people? These pressing questions linger in everyone's mind......

The mayor of the town walked over and said, "Dear adventurer Mr. Charlotte and mage Mr. Ferro, I have asked you to come here in the hope of getting your help. This is a mistake we made, but for the sake of these innocent people...... Please help us......"

Mayor Mare's understanding is that only the female elves and this team of adventurers in front of him can handle this matter. Even many adventurers, hearing that Wolfheart Town had angered a wild nature spirit outside the town this time, had already left overnight. They are not willing to wade into this troubled water, and they are not able to wade through this troubled water.

Then the mayor talked about the origin of Wolfheart Town and the origin of the deer-headed spirit.

Wolfheart has been established for almost eighty years, but it didn't go smoothly when it was established. The timberwolves in the forest here are very rampant, repeatedly injuring people, and even attacking the start-up town many times, bringing a lot of casualties.

At that time, hunting and chopping wood in the forest would be eaten by hungry wolves, farming and working in the fields would be eaten by hungry wolves, and even resting and sleeping in their own houses at night could be eaten by hungry wolves! Even because the wolf plague was too heavy, the town was about to be abandoned for a time.

But a powerful adventurer at the time, he went deep into the forest to gain the trust of the wild spirit deer head. Thanks to the adventurer's efforts, the people of the town signed a contract with the deer head, willing to sacrifice the deer head spirit every year in exchange for its protection.

Later, under the magical protection of the deer head, the wolf plague gradually disappeared, and the wolves migrated away.

Gradually, the deer-headed spirit slept in the fairy wilderness, ignoring the disturbances of the main material plane. The people of Wolfheart Town also began to gradually forget their original vows and no longer hold sacrifices.

Now that the deer head spirit has given up sheltering Wolf Heart Town, the disappeared wolves are back! The nightmare of yesteryear is back!

“…… I plead with you, I beg you to help these people. I beg you to ......," said the mayor, and at last he could not stop crying, and more than forty people began to cry in front of the people.

If the wolf plague resumes, the town of Wolf Heart will inevitably decline, and the nearly 10,000 people around it can only choose to abandon their hometown......

Charlotte didn't give the mayor an immediate reply, they needed to discuss.

Back at the tavern, everyone was silent, and even Alice sat silently with Timo in her arms.

Luna followed them back to the tavern, wanting to see what they would do. You must know that the deer head spirit has been injured by humans once, and it is difficult to convince it.

If it was a gesture, Luna wouldn't mind helping them. But this time I was completely unsure. Besides, as an elf, what position do you stand to speak for human beings?

So, how do you choose? What are you going to do?

Luna observes Charlotte with interest.

At this time, Fei Luo broke the silence and asked, "What should I do?" Shall we go? ”

Charlotte was silent for a long time and said, "Go!" Let's go now! Meet this deer-headed monster again! ”
