According to the villagers' explanations, the fog around the village has been lingering recently, and all those who try to leave the village will eventually get lost in the fog and will not be able to get out of the forest, so everyone can only return to the village in the end.

"Fortunately, although we couldn't leave the village, there were no other attacks or dangers, so everyone was waiting in the village for rescue." The villagers explained as they led everyone to the village chief's house.

The village chief's house is a stone building, which looks a bit like a fortress, but there is a circle of wooden houses around the fortress, which looks like a bunch of illegal buildings, giving people a very strange feeling.

As if seeing Green's thoughts, Anthony took the initiative to explain to Green: "That small fortress was built by the kingdom after the monster lair in the White Bear Village was sealed. Therefore, the village chief later built a circle of houses outside the wall for daily life, and the result became this appearance. ”

Green looked at the pile of strange buildings in front of him, and then looked at the other houses around him: "...... Your village chief's aesthetic is special. ”

The other houses in the village are quite normal, but the village chief's family is very maverick.

The villager stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Village chief, someone from the city has come." ”

Soon, the door opened, and a fat man in a gorgeous dress poked his head out of it with an anxious face.

"Who is it? Is it the one who came to save me? The fat man's gaze crossed the villagers at the door and directly surrendered to Green and his party.

Dressed in well-tailored casual clothes, clean and tidy, with a long sword hanging from his waist, Green looked like a little nobleman on the go. Behind Green, two beautiful maids, one with a sword and the other with a spear, further highlighted Green's noble status.

"Who are you?" The fat man looked at Green and asked cautiously.

When people meet for the first time, they usually distinguish a person's identity from their demeanor and clothing. Green's party didn't dress and look like ordinary people - usually only those who were nobles or people of status would take maids and butlers with them when they went out.

Green stared at the fat man in front of him: "We are investigators from Puerto Ancona, are you?" ”

Hearing Green's words, the fat man jumped up instantly: "Great! I'm Tax Officer Frankland, and I've been stuck in this village for more than ten days! ”

"What the hell is going on here?" Green asked.

"There's something wrong with that fog outside, and we can't get out of it." The fat man explained.

"Do you know what that fog is?"

"I don't know." The tax collector shook his head.

At this moment, an old woman's hoarse voice came from the room: "Lord Fakra, let's invite the guests in first." ”

"Oh, yes. Look at my memory, please come in! ”

Although it looks a little weird on the outside, the inside of the house is very normal. In the center of the spacious living room is a convenient bonfire, on which a kettle is hung and hot air guts out of the spout.

Around the campfire, there were a few people sitting. In addition to the village chief, there are also some warriors who look relatively strong.

"Anthony, you're here." One of the fighters stood up, "Are you here to save us?" ”

Anthony, who came from the vigilante, seemed to know the group in front of him.

"Mr. Green, these are the members of the security team that were sent to investigate the situation in Baixiong Village before." Anthony first introduced the group of people in front of him to Green.

Green looked around at the crowd and nodded slightly.

The person who was introduced looked at Anthony's attitude, and his expression was slightly restrained: "Excuse me, who is this?" ”

"This is Mr. Green." Anthony introduced to everyone, "Recently, there have been some changes in the security team, and a special department formed by extraordinary powerhouses has been added, which can be regarded as our boss. ”

"Extraordinarily strong?" Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Green.

Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the gap between the silver rank and the black iron is actually not too big, and there are quite a few silver powerhouses who have been besieged to death by several well-trained black iron soldiers. Generally, three well-trained Black Iron Soldiers can resist one Silver, four Black Iron Soldiers have a certain probability of defeating one Silver, and five Black Iron Soldiers who cooperate with each other still have a high probability of winning even against those who are good at fighting Silver Rank.

The gap between the silver tier and black iron can be made up by quantity, but in the face of the existence of the gold tier or even the legendary level, the "qualitative" gap between silver and black iron is instantly reflected.

The existence of the golden level, even if there is no super plug-in such as "Precious Phantasm", still has a very powerful spiritual power - the dragon power of the dragon, the aura of the knight, the murderous aura of the warrior, and so on. This kind of spiritual ability does not have much effect on the superordinary, but it has an extraordinary effect on mortals below the transcendental!

One of the most famous is the dragon's "dragon might". The dragon's "dragon power" will cause extremely strong oppression of people's will, and ordinary people can't even raise their weapons when facing the "dragon power". What's even more terrifying is that the dragon's "dragon power" is completely a passive ability that is not consumed! This makes the creatures below the transcendental, no matter how large they are, have no power to resist in front of the dragon, and they are not even qualified to become cannon fodder, so they can only be reduced to simple food.

It is precisely because of these qualitative differences that although the difference in combat power between the Silver Rank and the Black Iron is not large, the social status and importance of the two sides are very different. For example, right now, a group of people are trapped in the village by the thick fog, but if it's a supernatural powerhouse, there can be some way, right?

Everyone looked at Green expectantly.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Green thought for a moment, "I've just arrived here, and I don't know what's going on here. But from what I felt on the road, the amount of magic in the air here seems to be a little too high. ”

"Too much magic?" The militiamen looked at each other.

The tax collector blinked: "Since the appearance of the demon race, the demon element in the north has become higher and higher. That's normal, right? ”

"The magic content here is higher than that of Puerto Ancona." Green took a deep look at the tax collector, then turned his head to look at the old village chief sitting in the first seat, "The magic content here is obviously abnormal, I wonder if you have any clues about this?" ”

The head of White Bear Village is an old grandmother like a dead tree. The lattice is not high, and it doesn't look very good.

Seeing Green's eyes, everyone also focused their attention on the village chief's grandmother.

Hearing Green's inquiry, the village chief's grandmother pondered for a while: "A year ago, a merchant who came to receive the goods said something similar. ”

"Oh?" Hearing that there was really a clue, the tax officer became excited, "What did he say?" ”

The village chief's grandmother said slowly, "The merchant said that the magic content here is very high, and it is very suitable for growing magic plants. From that time on, the main crop in the village changed from food to some magical plants. ”

"Magic plants?" The tax collector was stunned for a moment, "Ah, I know this." Because after the appearance of the demons, the content of magic elements around the Great Wall of Rui Aidi began to be high, and some magical plants that could only be obtained from the Arcane Garden or the Fairy Forest could also be cultivated locally, so many villages gave up traditional crops and planted magical plants instead...... Does this have anything to do with the situation at hand? ”

Hearing the tax officer's words, Green frowned slightly: "Can you take me to the field to have a look?" ”

"Absolutely."
