In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The situation on the mainland is becoming more and more turbulent, but everything is still calm in Modo City. During this period, Princess Anna of the Ice and Snow Realm sent several letters to Sauron, mentioning a few things about greetings a little. The eldest princess seems to be in retreat recently, and with the arrival of winter, the Ice and Snow Nation will also have to deal with the coming cold climate. Winter is a difficult time to survive this era of material barrenness, but the good thing is that because of the cold winter, many wars have been forced to stop, and the spreading plague is almost cured.

The cold climate allows the disease to disappear sooner.

Although it has not snowed yet, the first frost has already arrived, and the city of Modo is slightly better, because it is located in the subtropical region with only some frozen ground, and many other places have begun to freeze. The permafrost has slowed down the progress of the construction, but people are still busy working because if they don't get the housing done in time, they will have to blow northwest winds this winter.

Five kilometres from the city of Modo is a town under construction, a construction site where thousands of people are busy.

Lay foundations, build houses, build walls.

After completing the foundation of settling down and settling down, we will begin to reclaim the nearby land.

Half-elves have industrious and dexterous hands, and if they are given a chance to work, they know how to support themselves.

At this time.

Ryan, who has recovered from his injuries, is patrolling the construction site, and as the leader of the half-elf civilians who brought back them, he naturally became their administrator, and it is not surprising that he will take over as the mayor of the first town. The people involved in the labor are divided into two factions, one is the half-elves of Fallen Leaf City, and the other is the merchants from the South Coast region. A number of farms have also been established outside the towns, and merchants have placed greater emphasis on profits, so that some of the land has begun to crop its first winter wheat.

"Cordy!"

Ryan walked around the construction site and suddenly frowned, "Where did Alec and the Dandy go?" ”

"Did the two of them run out and be lazy again?"

Not all half-elves are hardworking. There are also some adventurous people who don't like boring work, and Ryan is talking about the two guys who are idle.

Soon, a young half-elf ran over and whispered, "They said last night that they were going to catch fish to eat, and they ran out at dawn, and they haven't seen anyone yet." ”

Catch fish?

Ryan frowned when he heard this, there are abundant aquatic products near Modo City, but these half-elves who have just moved over have no fishing tools, so they should not run into the sea to catch fish, so the biggest possibility is the nearby river. Because of its proximity to the Amazon rainforest. There is a lot of fish in the freshwater river near the city of Modo. Among them, the most tender and delicious meat is a kind of piranha, the name is tiger tooth fish (tiger mouth fish), this kind of fish can eat a person if there are many of them, only one bone is left, they have sharp teeth, very like to bite people's lower body, so it will be very dangerous to go into the water naked, and it is possible to use only half of it if you are not careful.

Naturally, Ryan had eaten this fish, because there were so many of them, and they tasted so good. He is often caught for meals.

"These two slackers! I'll have to whip them when I catch them! ”

This is not the first time.

Not long after they arrived, the two fellows were lazy once, and they recklessly ran to the river to catch fish, and almost let the fish bite off the root of their lives. But also because of this time. Both guys are in love with the grilled piranha, and they usually go after finishing their work, but today they didn't even come to work, which really made Ryan a little angry.

Let the person next to you help watch. Ryan directly picked up his weapon, whipped his hand, and prepared to walk towards the river.

There are dangerous man-eating flowers further away, and those two boys shouldn't run that way if they weren't idiots, so they can only catch fish in the nearby river.

Ryan naturally knows how to track.

Judge the footprints on the ground. Trampled on the plants, he quickly found the route that the two boys had taken.

But!

It was here that a terrible scream suddenly sounded in the distance, and then the birds and beasts around were all startled.

"Something's wrong!"

Ryan sensed that something was wrong for a moment, and instantly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and then the whole person sprinted at high speed, rushing in the direction of the scream.

The scenery around them quickly retreated.

As a high-level professional, Ryan ran extremely fast, but in a few minutes he was able to cross the dense jungle and get closer to the place where the sound came from.

"Dandy?!"

Ryan saw a half-elf boy covered in blood, and at this moment he didn't care about scolding the other party, and said in an anxious voice: "What's the matter? What happened? And what about one more person? ”

The half-elf boy named Dandy was covered in blood, and seeing Ryan at this moment was like seeing a savior, he grabbed him and muttered, "Alec is dead!" …… Eaten! ……”

Damn it!

Ryan was so angry that he wanted to slap the guy in front of him, and had already warned them that the nearby river was dangerous, and that they should not run to catch piranhas. Now, at last, the lesson is known, but a young life has been ended. Ryan thought that the other half-elf boy had been eaten by a swarm of piranhas, but Dandy's words made him tense.

"Devil's !!"

The half-elf boy named Dandy said incoherently, "Eaten!" …… Demon! …… Eaten! …… The demon has eaten Alec! ……”

Demon?!!!

At this moment, Ryan's face finally changed.

He wasn't sure if the half-elf boy in front of him was scared silly, and if he was talking nonsense about calling piranhas demons, or if he had actually encountered demons, or if he had called something else a demon. There are a lot of dangerous things around here, such as cannibalistic flowers and so on, and the demon may refer to the real demon, or it may refer to something else. However, this is the city of Modo, and it stands to reason that there should be no demons. But now, whatever the reason, as the supreme commander of this town, he must find out what is going on.

"Come with me!"

Ryan lifted the boy in front of him, and then hurried forward.

Dandy still seemed scared, but he knew Ryan's strength somewhat, so he still cowered and followed the direction.

It's not that far.

Soon!

The vision in front of him widened, and Ryan, who saw the scene in front of him, couldn't help but gasp, and his expression became unexpectedly solemn.

Demon!

It's really a demon!
