Chapter 45: The Little Village on a Rainy Night
Because of the heavy rain, many creatures hide in their nests to avoid the rain, but there are still a few creatures that leave their nests and come out in search of food. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If it was a normal situation, Green would be happy to encounter this kind of experience points, but for now Green just wants to set up a stall as soon as possible and get to the nearby village.
"Tsk! Mitchell, using illumination, we sped forward. Without hesitation, Green let Mitchell use the last of the illuminations, and then the group sped straight over.
Creatures are life-loving, and there is no such thing as a lifeless creature, so it is rare for nocturnal creatures to run into the light to attack humans, especially if the target is combat-ready and there is more than one person. Therefore, when Mitchell used the illumination, the "magic source" in Sakia's mouth quickly gave up on Grimm and his party - animals understand the truth that "if you don't die, you won't die", so they will not easily attack "combative" humans unless they are forced to do so or are sure to retreat.
Green and his party passed through the ambush of the unknown creature without any problems.
The duration of illumination is limited. After running some distance, the illumination went out again, and the world was once again plunged into darkness.
Mitchell hurriedly grabbed Green's arm: "Before, senior, what should I do now?" ā
"Let's go slowly......" Green sighed, wiping the rain from his face, "It's not far off." ā
There was a unit in the team that did not possess extraordinary vision, which greatly slowed down the team's progress, but fortunately it was not far from its destination at this time.
Burning Wood is a small village on the edge of the Dawyn Forest, belonging to the port of Kapoor, located off the main road, the population of the whole village is only a hundred people, and there are no special products, except for the annual tax collection of officials, even travel merchants rarely visit.
When Green arrived at the village based on the memories of his previous life and with the help of a map of the system, it was already late at night.
It was a small village with a population of just over a hundred people. A wooden fence encloses the entire village, and two braziers are placed under a canopy at the entrance of the village, dissipating the surrounding darkness while also leaving anyone or beast who tries to get close to the village unrecognizable.
When Grimm and Sakia approached the village, they were immediately spotted by the militia on the watchtower.
"Who?" The militia on the watchtower raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the darkness where Green's group was.
"We are travelers who have fled from the north and want to spend the night in the village because of the heavy rains."
Green's words instantly attracted the attention of the militia: "Fleeing from the North? Is something happening in the north? ā
"Huh? Don't you know? The undead plague has broken out in the north, many villages have fallen, and even the town of Jonn is not in good shape. ā
"What!?"
Green was somewhat surprised that the village didn't know about the undead scourge yet. But considering that the village is not on the main road, the average refugee does not pass through it at all, so Green can understand. Because the news brought by Green is so exciting! After a brief discussion with his teammates, the militia took Green and his party and went straight to the village's house.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Village Chief! Chief! The militia violently knocked on the door of the village chief's house and shouted.
Perhaps because the militia was moving too much, the child was woken up, and a baby's cry was heard in the house.
Not long after, an old man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old opened the door with an oil lamp: "Tom, can't you be lighter?" ā
"Village Chief, these three outsiders have just come to the village and say that the town of Yoon has fallen into the hands of the undead."
"What?" The village chief's eyes froze, and he cast his gaze on Green and the others, "You say that Yorn Town is occupied by the undead?" ā
"In Lower Green, these two are my companions. We've been on the road for a long day in the rain, and now it's cold and tired, do you have a hotel here? "Green never said anything about the undead.
The village chief stared at Green for a while, and observed the clothes of Green and his party, Green and his party looked very embarrassed, but the village elder's spicy eyes could still see the identity of the group of people in front of them.
A priest of Mother Earth, a maid with badly torn clothes, and a well-spoken teenager. Priest? Maid? Juvenile? This combination is involuntarily reminiscent of a scene from a legendary adventure story in which a troubled aristocratic boy with his servants and followers finally regains his territory and rebuilds his homeland.
"It seems like you've been through a lot." The village chief stepped out of the way, "There are no hotels in the village, you can rest in my guest room for the night." ā
As the village chief stepped out of the way, Green finally got a good look inside the house.
It was a very spacious living room, decorated in a somewhat ecclesiastical style, with a small altar in the innermost place. Above the altar, the emblem of Pero, the god of light, emitted a faint glow.
"Can you help me prepare some food and hot water by the way?" I want to take a hot shower or I'll get sick. Green took out a gold coin and handed it to the village chief.
The village chief glanced at Green and his party and accepted the gold coin: "The hot water needs to wait for a while, you can follow me to the room first." The village chief led Green and his party into the house, "There is only one room, but there are many empty rooms. If you don't mind bunks on the floor, I can prepare another spare room for you. ā
Greene: "Well, I'm sorry for you. ā
"What's going on in the north?" The village chief began to ask Green about the situation in the north.
"It's serious." Because the village chief had agreed to stay here for Green's party, Green did not hide this information, "At present, it is known that Silver Leaf Town has been occupied by the undead, and the town of Yon has also fallen into the siege of the undead, the specific situation is unknown. ā
"That's right......," the village chief frowned, "Is there something wrong with the Blackstone Fortress?" ā
"If something went wrong with Blackstone Fortress, it would have been flooded with the undead." Green denied, "There must be a place where the human nobles have betrayed the kingdom and taken refuge in the undead. "Believe in the dead and have eternal life. For human nobles, the temptation of eternal life is not so easy to resist, if it weren't for the great cost and too many sequelae, the undead would have ruled the world long ago.
The village chief frowned slightly, pondering how much credibility there was in Green's words.
Led by the village chief, Green and his party came to the attic on the second floor of the village chief's house.
It was a very basic room, with nothing but a bed and a desk.
The village chief lit an oil lamp in the room: "This is the guest room, and there is a vacant room next to it. I'll have someone bring you a quilt later. ā
"Okay, excuse me."
"It's fine." The village chief left the room after saying that.
Green went to the next room to take a look. The room next to it was completely vacant, there was nothing, but it was barely enough as a temporary shelter from the wind and rain. So here's the problem......
Who sleeps in the guest room and who sleeps in the vacant room?
