Chapter 4: The Calm Before the Storm?

"Grandpa Ruhr, he can't wake up, right? It's been almost two days, so shouldn't you wake up early? ”

"There shouldn't be any problems, you must know that your Grandma Ruhr is the most powerful magician in the village, and her healing magic can heal almost any ordinary injury..."

But even if he said so calmly, it was still difficult to dispel the worries of the people around him about whether Ye Chen would survive, after all, this guy had been sleeping for a little too long...

"Wait patiently! Anyway, we've been waiting for four days, and it's not too many minutes now, and since we've saved people, we have to save even a little hope..."

However, just when everyone was about to give up, they saw that Ye Chen, who was originally like a dead corpse, suddenly opened his eyes slightly, and at the same time looked at the surrounding crowd with a confused expression: Am I alive?

Seeing this, the dwarf who was standing anxiously on the side hurriedly walked over: "How are you feeling now?" Is there anything uncomfortable in your body? ”

Hearing this, he instinctively touched his injured forehead with his hand, and looked at the bandage wrapped on the surface, Ye Chen, who was suspicious, breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "The body is not bad, I am worried about you..."

"If it has affected your life in the past few days, I would like to sincerely apologize, if you don't mind, I am willing to pay gold coins as compensation, which can be regarded as the cost of treatment!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen, who was quick with his hands and feet, quickly took out ten gold coins from his inventory, and at the same time put the money bag directly beside him, and asked, "Is Sias back?" ”

"After all, the reason why I was able to survive was basically because of Sias's rescue, so now that I have survived the crisis, I naturally want to repay him..."

However, at the same time, looking at Ye Chen's sincere gaze and reaction without hesitation, the dwarf Ruhr on the side shook his head, and then stuffed Ye Chen's money bag back into his hand: "This gold coin can't be accepted..."

"The reason why we have come to your rescue is nothing more than to act according to our own conscience, if we accept this gold coin now, wouldn't it be against our original intention? So you should stay with us and recuperate with peace of mind! ”

"As for Sias, I'm out hunting, I'm afraid it will take a day to get back, but this kid used to go on expeditions in the wild, so don't worry about any accidents..."

As he spoke, he saw a hobbling figure walking slowly from outside the straw house, although the other party's cheeks were covered by a strange mask, but this did not seem to affect others to distinguish his identity.

"Grandma Ruhr, why are you here? Didn't you just finish the healing spell and need to take a break for a few days? Wouldn't it be a bit to walk around now..."

But even if the handsome-looking little girl in front of him cared so much about herself, the old man with gray temples shook his head and responded softly: "It's okay, in fact, as long as you take the spiritual essence, you will recover quickly!" ”

"As for this little guy's life is quite hard, I didn't expect to be able to survive, which is quite unexpected for me, an old woman, after all, if the skull of ordinary people is broken, I'm afraid that it will be useless now..."

To be honest, most normal people would feel annoyed and angry when they heard others evaluate themselves so unabashedly, but Ye Chen was not like this, he smiled calmly and looked very kind and approachable.

After all, he is not a fool, he can naturally see at first glance that the other party's identity is extraordinary, and he can even be said to be a noble, and at the same time, he can faintly guess many things: she may be the leader of this village, right?

On the other side, he slowly walked in front of Ye Chen and carefully looked at his face, only to see that the old man who was on crutches trembled slightly, and then said thoughtfully: "There is a mysterious power in your body..."

"If you don't mind, can you let me check your brain memory now, after all, there are a large number of young children in our village of Makoli now, and as an elder, I can't tolerate any potential threat!"

As soon as these words came out, it was inevitable that he would be a little hostile, but Ye Chen could basically understand the other party's good intentions, after all, he was like a stranger here, and he couldn't even tell whether he was friend or foe for the time being, how could others fully believe in himself?

After a general observation of everything around, most of the people around him now were dressed very modestly, even a little shabby: it seems that this place is not rich, right?

"There is nothing wrong with that, and I can understand your concerns, but rest assured, since I am now in favor of others, I will naturally repay you as a spring..."

Slowly straightening his body, and at the same time looking at Grandma Ruer who was staring intently at his eyes, Ye Chen suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart: Her eyes seem to be able to see through my thoughts?

However, in the next second, before everyone present could react to what had happened, a strange scream suddenly came from the mouth of the attentive Grandma Ruhr, and then she took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

For a while, looking at the inexplicable scene in front of him, not to mention those villagers who didn't know anything about magic, even Ye Chen, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned: This is porcelain, right?

"Grandma Ruhr, are you alright?" Don't think about it too much, at this time, the children closest to her saw this, so they hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party's weak body, and at the same time stared at Ye Chen, who was full of innocent faces, with a vigilant face.

"What are your intentions? Why hurt Grandma Ruhr? We were kind enough to save you, but I didn't expect it to be a poisonous snake..."

After all, in the eyes of these extremely innocent children, as long as someone dares to have bad intentions against Grandma Ruhr, whom they respect, then they are undoubtedly their worst enemies.

"My old woman is fine, you don't have to worry, things are not what you think, you misunderstood him, as for Sisna, please take everyone out first, just leave me and this old man here..."

Stabilizing his embarrassed figure with his cane again, and then looking at the vigilant retreat, Grandma Ruhr, who was taking a deep breath, couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry for making you laugh just now..."

"Actually, you don't have to worry, I'm not hurt in any way, it's just that I can't stand on my feet due to some dizziness for a while, as for you, can you tell me your name?"

Between the words, watching the old woman with a kind face slowly sit next to her bed, Ye Chen, who was a little at a loss, had no choice but to respond: "My name is Ye Chen, doesn't it sound like a strange name?" ”

You must know that the game world in which this Illusory World Alliance is located is a typical Western fantasy, and there are even incredible dreams everywhere, and in terms of everyone Ye Chen has come into contact with so far, the names are all Western without exception.

So in this way, for Ye Chen, whose name seemed so incompatible, he would naturally be sensitive to notice this strangeness...

"This is not surprising, because the space we live in is itself an imaginary dimension, and people from different dimensions travel here every year, so it is not surprising that we are not surprised..."

At the same time, looking at the ignorant Ye Chen, I saw that Grandma Luer, who was holding the scepter that was emitting a faint green light, asked with some hesitation, "Do you know the true power you have?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen was a little confused: Is there still real power? Is there a mistake? I was almost forced to death by a couple of soldiers a few days ago, and now what strength are you talking about?

"I don't know for the time being, if there is anything that needs my attention, please let me know, because I have just come to this world, and I still don't understand everything in this world, even myself..."

To be honest, this is not that Ye Chen is deliberately modest, but his true words from the bottom of his heart, after all, Ye Chen doesn't even know how to use the ability of his god-level summoning system now, so let alone anything else?

Seeing this, she may have guessed what was hidden, so the thoughtful Grandma Ruhr did not choose to continue to ask, but silently put down her scepter and slowly removed the mask she was wearing.

In an instant, the old face of the other party couldn't help but surprise Ye Chen, who hadn't reacted to everything, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly: It turns out that this Ruer grandmother is not a human, but a legendary tree man?

"If I'm not mistaken, the power you possess is very powerful, in short, it is not the realm that I can spy on at the moment, but even if it is so mysterious, if you are untied one day, it will definitely lead to disaster..."

Between the words, I saw a melancholy Grandma Ruhr look at Grandpa Ruhr, who was always silent, and continued to add: "I'm just a humble tree man, I was fortunate to take root here, but the future is not easy to say..."

"So in the last moments of my departure, I just want to make a fair deal with you, so that it is also my wish, I wonder what you think?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen, who had a faint premonition, didn't choose to ask more, but looked at the other party's cheeks full of vicissitudes, and then said indifferently: "If it's a fair deal, I think I'll be happy to cooperate!" ”

"Besides, your Makoli village is kind to me, since I, Ye Chen, said before that I would repay my kindness, then naturally I will not break my word, so as long as it is within my ability, I will consider it..."

Seeing that Ye Chen dared to swear such a promise, Grandma Ruer, who was still a little skeptical, breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered: "This deal is very simple, I provide you with information about this world, and you provide survival guarantee for our Makoli village!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen suddenly felt a little difficult to reply, after all, the other party's request was a little too hasty for him: Even if you are kind to me, you can't tie me to the village, right?

If there is any enemy in your village of Makori, if the other party suddenly attacks, will I have to stand up and take the knife for you at that time?

At the same time, it seemed that she also saw what the other party was thinking, so Grandma Ruhr, whose face was covered with vines, did not look angry, but sighed slowly, as if she had let go of some baggage.

In the next second, I didn't know where to take out a dark green crystal, only to see Grandma Narul shook her head slightly, and then explained: "I'm sorry, I think you may have misunderstood what I meant..."

"This Kuma Stone can store information, it must be of great help to you, in fact, during the time you are unconscious, I have prepared everything, if you agree to the request, this thing will belong to you!"

"As for the village security I just said, it is nothing more than wanting you to take Sias and leave this village together, after all, he is a child with potential, so only by following people with more potential can you realize your own value!"

In fact, speaking of this, Ye Chen can basically understand what the other party meant: After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he planned to let me take Sias to go on a journey together? But what kind of fame can two salted fish make?

However, just after Ye Chen hesitated for such a short moment, he only heard a piercing scream from outside the house, mixed with wailing, and then the entire already tense atmosphere seemed to be ignited in an instant.

In the next second, before Grandma Ruer handed the Kuma Stone in her hand to Ye Chen, she heard a sound of breaking the sky in her ears, and then a small hole appeared in the window not far away.

As for the direction facing the small hole, it was Grandma Ruhl's forehead...
