Chapter Twenty-Six: The Slime in Trouble
Roland and Vaji hadn't been gone for long, and although they hadn't encountered any powerful creatures, the basket was no longer empty.
Moreover, everything inside is 100% edible.
After all, Roland is toxic and resistant, and he can eat anything, and then parse it so that he knows what can be eaten and what can't.
Suddenly, a shout came from afar, breaking the silence in the woods, startling a flock of birds and startling Roland.
The voice...... How do you look like a human? Roland was a little puzzled, "Is this another island with a town?" No, it's more likely to be a village. ”
Roland patted Waji's head, "Let's go, go and see." ”
"Hmm," Vaji nodded, as he was finally back on land, and he was in a very good mood at this point, and after roaring excitedly, he ran towards the side where the sound came from.
Sure enough, after not going far, the dense forest suddenly disappeared, and what came into view was an open flat land with some vegetables growing here and there.
And farther on, on the other side of the clearing, is a small village.
Roland observed that the houses in the village were all wooden, and the roads that could be seen were only dirt roads, so it seemed that this should be a relatively backward small village.
However, the strange thing is that as far as the eye can see, there is a large number of houses, and no one can see it.
However, the shouting just now did exist, and Roland, who was very concerned about it, did not intend to delay here, so he said to Waji, who had stopped, "Let's go, keep going, don't step on vegetables, and don't destroy other people's houses." ”
"I don't need to tell you that, I know," Vaji said with an unhappy look on his face as he continued on his way.
"Hehe, you can even accidentally destroy the cabin, you are not qualified to say that!" Roland said that he was also a little helpless, no wonder Vazner would be angry with Waji, although this guy is usually quite honest, but the sleeping appearance is really unsightly......
Originally, there was no difference in sleep, but Waji's body and strength were too great, and when he turned over, he could shoot a big hole directly into the cabin.
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't a slime and didn't have to sleep, Roland thought he might wake up and find himself already in the ocean......
At this time, Roland sat on Vacier's shoulder, chatting and observing the surroundings.
To be honest, because Waji's body was really too big, much taller than these wooden houses, Roland always had the feeling that he was a monster who had come to destroy the village, and he was even a little worried that a righteous warrior would suddenly jump out and cut himself and Vaji......
However, Waji's tall body is not without benefits, at least Roland on his shoulders feels that his vision has broadened a lot.
So, before Waji had gone a few steps, Roland crossed the roof of the hut and saw an empty square-like place in the middle of a bunch of huts not far away.
There was a large crowd gathered there, and it seemed that everyone in the village should be over there.
Roland told Waji to stop first, while he continued to observe the situation over there.
At the most intuitive glance, the crowd there was divided into two parts and were facing each other.
Among them, on the side with a relatively large number of people, looking at the hoes, shovels and other farm tools held by the group of young adults in the front, as well as a large group of old people, children and women standing behind them, Roland felt that they should be villagers.
Opposite them, the relatively small number of people is a group of large men armed with machetes, muskets or maces, looking fierce and vicious, presumably intruders, and judging from the background of this world, they should be pirates.
Of course, it could be bandits, but it didn't matter, Roland considered them pirates for the time being.
To be honest, he was a little speechless, he had just solved a group of pirates who wanted to rob him, but he didn't expect to meet another group of pirates who wanted to rob the village so soon, and sure enough, there were really many pirates in the pirate world......
However, the question now is, should I save them?
Although from the subconscious thoughts, perhaps out of conscience, or morality, or compassion, Roland wanted to save them.
However, I just preyed on a few humans, and after that, in order to become stronger, I will definitely prey on other people, to put it more terrifyingly, I will eat people!
Even if you can imitate an adult now, but you are not human in nature, is it really necessary to have compassion for humans?
Moreover, a group of villagers are just a group of villagers, and they are not related to them, even if they are saved, they will not get any benefits, is it really necessary to save them?
Roland began to think about it seriously, this is a very important decision, because it is not only about this time, to be honest, if this time alone, looking at the situation of those pirates below, he can save this village with a few water knives, there is nothing to hesitate.
But what if it's later? When the opponent is strong, do you still want to help? If you just want to be a bad good person when you can, and once the difficulty becomes greater, it doesn't matter to you, then it is better to give up the plan to be a bad good person in the first place.
“…… Forget it, rotten good people are rotten good people! It should be regarded as atonement for his cannibalism," in the end, Roland shook his head and made a decision, even if he didn't get anything in return, at least he could feel at ease.
On the other hand, Roland didn't notice how conspicuous the combination of himself and Waji was!
Because of Waji's heavy footsteps, when he saw the situation in the square, the people in the square also saw him, as well as Waji's head, because of this, the confrontation between the villagers and the pirates even stopped.
Then they saw Roland staring at this side in a daze, and after a long moment he suddenly raised his head as if to say something, and then the great ape under him came towards this side again.
After a while, Waji had already walked to the edge of the square, Roland could see the situation more clearly, and the pirates and villagers finally saw Waji's complete appearance.
"You...... Who are you?! What's the matter with that giant beast? The guy who looked like he was supposed to be the captain of the pirates shouted first.
At first, he was also a little stunned, but after all, he was the captain, and he didn't want to lose his majesty in front of his subordinates, so he had to shout.
As for the villagers, they didn't say anything, they had already been scared enough by the pirates, and now that they saw the terrifying body of Waji, where could they speak.
Roland had no intention of jumping, but continued to sit on Waji's shoulder, looking at the people below with a smile on his face.
