When it gets dark, I can't see the way forward.

Think about the old days, you can also light a little light magic on the tip of the staff, more dazzling than a torch, illuminating the sun, moon and stars beyond the reach of the light.

But now that has become a luxury, and the staff has become a normal crutch.

The village chief pestle it and slowly moved forward through the deserted village.

Temporarily suppressed by magic, he was no more than an ordinary old man in his twilight years.

He had never felt such inconvenience in his legs and feet, and he could use magic to maintain the strength of his knees before losing his ability, and the pain at this time made him realize that maybe he was really old.

The situation was embarrassing, but he smiled with relief as he watched the safe evacuation of everyone in the village to the direction of the mine, which was far away from the vines.

"The old village chief? Why are you alone? ”

Buried in his head, he suddenly heard Xia Zuo shouting in front of him.

"Your Excellency," the village chief looked serious, "didn't you retreat to the direction of the mine with the rest of you?" In fact, there is a way to the outside of the village in the depths of the mine, and when we have no choice, we can escape from there en masse, but only if the reinforcements from the royal capital do not arrive, and we have to protect ourselves, we are afraid that the mine will not be able to hold it......"

"What are you talking about?" Received too much information for a while, and it was okay during the day, Xia Zuo was puzzled, "Evacuate?" What happened? ”

The village chief did not slow down, he was eager to arrive at the mine and arrange the next action of the people.

Seeing the village chief approaching, Xia Zuo's face changed, because the MP strip on the top of the village chief's head was gray, and there was a small debuff icon behind the name - "Stone Silence".

Xia Zuo also remembered the debuff, which was applied by the curse magic, but no matter what kind of curse magic path, there was a minimum 30% probability of making the enemy hit the buff, and the higher the enemy's MP, the higher the probability of the middle spell, up to 90%.

It's a "condition-specific buff" - the condition is: to get rid of it immediately, you must find someone with mana above the village chief.

Belch! It seems that the old village chief has been hit.

According to the character of the village chief, he will continue to ask how he knows about "Shi Zhimo", considering that there is no exchange of interests, Xia Zuo decided to pretend not to know first, and find out what is going on from the questioning. Besides, this buff is not something that Xia Zuo of Lv5 can find a way to solve, not even the medicine "True Pill" that is going to be used for Rebecca's father......

"Don't you know? I've asked Rebecca to inform everyone of the goblin attack......"

"The goblins are coming!?" Xia Zuo was surprised, how could the goblin be silent about the magic of the buff.

"Hmm...... It seems that Your Excellency missed it with everyone because of other things," After looking Xia Zuo's new equipment up and down, the village chief made a gesture to please move forward, "Come with me, on the way to the back mountain, I will explain it to you, and besides, I may need your help." ”

Help = task reward, and this time is different from the past, the task reward can still be a bargain, Xia Zuo frowned and nodded, thinking that it wouldn't be the goblin he met before, right?

On the way, the village chief told Xia Zuo the ins and outs of the matter, starting from the discovery of goblin remains outside the village, Xia Zuo estimated that they were two ordinary goblins killed by himself; It ends with the goblins in the armor in the village.

It was already dark, Xia Zuo took out a small glass bottle from his bag to collect materials, and when he went to the bushes earlier, he also found the little one with a little starlight - fireflies.

The first firefly was found when the blue honey tree frog was preying, and the frog that happened to be stunned by a stone had no time to withdraw its tongue when it spit out, and there was a firefly on the front end.

They don't glow during the day, and it's hard to be recognized, but Xia Zuo can easily tell what insect is and what it is just by looking at the name on the top of their head.

In addition, there were five in the collection bottle, and the species was originally set to actively emit light at night. The transparent bottle was spread out in the palm of Xia Zuo's hand, and the light emitted was just enough to detect the way forward, and the light sprinkled on the ground filtered through Xia Zuo's five fingers to form a projection.

This method of lighting, which does not rely on magic, is particularly new to the village chief, but he is depressed and unmoved, and continues to tell his own tragic story and worry about the fate of the whole village.

"Huh?" When the village chief finished speaking, Xia Zuo scratched his head in confusion.

"That's how it happened, I have sent a message to the royal capital with the enchanted messenger bird, it is an enchantment that only works on small objects, it is very suitable for the messenger bird, and you can reach the royal capital in three days within a few hours."

The village chief also didn't forget to show off the convenience magic that his mentor had created for many parts of the Andu Kingdom and even the mainland.

"No, I've already known this by reading the skill introduction before, and every time I start the game, I will say that a certain magic was invented by a different person," Xia Zuo interrupted the village chief's words, "What I want to know is that you are about to give the Goblin Knight a fatal blow, and finally run to touch his cursed sword!?" ”

After listening to the village chief's story, Xia Zuo roughly knew that it was the Goblin Knight who was fighting at the entrance of the village, and his dress and fighting style were exactly the same.

Being blamed by people much younger than himself, the village chief seemed a little embarrassed.

"No way, that's the doctrine... The people of the kingdom of Andoo were taught from birth to have the utmost devotion to the god Maury. ”

"Even a goblin?"

"As long as it is a one-on-one enemy, this condition is met, but if it is not proposed by both sides, it can be ignored for the time being, unless the Andu people attach great importance to the duel and respect the opponent, they will take the initiative to ask for it and let the enemy say a dying request," the village chief sighed, after living for so many years, he had not fought a duel with a person, but he practiced a dogma when fighting with the goblins, "The arrogance of claiming to be one of the strongest mages in the Andu Kingdom makes me careless...... It's strange how goblins know so much, they're just a bunch of savage and greedy creatures. ”

"That's not necessarily," Xia Zuo shook his head, "Your description only fits the characteristics of ordinary goblins, they are mentally retarded, they can't speak, they can only communicate with each other physically, and they obey the leader's arrangement. And goblin knights, shamans, archers, strategists, etc., as well as their kings, goblins with rank will become tricky monsters, and unfortunately, goblins without the rule of the goblin king will be all ordinary goblins, probably because of this, giving people the impression that they are stupid and easy to solve. ”

The village chief was slightly amazed, and then there was silence for a while.

"How did Your Excellency Xia Zuo know so much?" Although he is old, he still remembers the battle when he was young, "37 years ago, I participated in the war to expel the goblins, and at that time, I just regarded them as terrifying enemies, and blindly eliminated them, and there was no way to understand their social makeup..."

"Where I live, I have access to a more comprehensive range of knowledge." Xia Zuo thought about it and could only answer like this.

"Really... What a desirable place, your hometown, what is it called? ”

"Well, Asia."

"Haven't heard of this place, where is it?"

"I don't know how to go back, you can understand that I was shipwrecked."

"I see."

As Xia Zuo expected, the other party will not be confused, people from strange places are very proficient in the language of their continent, that is because Chinese Simplified Chinese is the global lingua franca in this world, and probably no NPC wonders why this is so, who invented the language, it will also be attributed to God.

“…… Your Excellency, I have something to ask of you. ”

Finally arrived at the bargaining task, Xia Zuo was calm on the outside, and he was happy in his heart, this was mostly to catch up with the big crisis in the village, which was different from the small fights that performed magic and forging bets before, and the rewards that could be asked for were naturally also.

"Tell me about it."

"At present, Liv Village does not have much combat power in the face of goblins, and you are a warrior who understands goblins and is good at fighting them." The village chief looked at Xia Zuo solemnly.
