Chapter 20: Leaving the Forest
After more than ten days of arduous trekking, I finally came out of the forest with the team, and now all I wanted to do was find a place to take a good shower and then lie down in bed and get a good night's sleep. I haven't taken a shower for more than ten days, my body is slimy, and my hair is messy, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. The clothes and pants I brought with me when I crossed have also become tattered because of walking in the forest, the shoes have become crocodile brand shoes, and the socks have long been thrown away by me, and the smell is too strong for me to stand it.
Look at your beggar style, and then look at Davion and Priest, the psychological imbalance is a while, and wearing armor is amazing? Why do you look more like a master and I look like a sidekick? Looking at the elven archers again, there is not a single stain on the whole body, and the cloak on his back is completely neat and there is not even a single hole. Not to mention the infantry, he wears armor like the two heroes, except for the black armor, and the image is not much better than mine. As for the orc warriors, these guys were forbidden to come within five meters of me a few days ago, and they smell like chemical weapons.
Coming to the plains, he followed the news brought back by the previous flying machine, and walked in the direction where he found traces of the activity of the intelligent race. After walking for a while, a path appeared before me, leading to the forest from which I had come, and to the depths of the plain, where the wheels could be seen. The team continued along the path into the depths of the plain, until the sun began to sink, and only then did they see the smoke rising faintly in the distance.
Walking all the way in the direction of the smoke rising, as the saying goes, looking at the mountain can run a dead horse, and now I want to say that looking at the smoke can also walk the dead. Obviously, I saw that the cooking smoke was in front of me, but I walked for more than two hours from the time I saw the cooking smoke before I saw the village in front of me, and it was dark! From a distance, it should be a small village with improvised fence walls around the village. There are about a dozen households in the village, and in the middle of the village is a square, where a bonfire is burning, and people can be faintly seen walking around. Although I can see human figures, with my eyesight, I can't see what kind of race the figures in the village are, so I don't dare to bring people up to communicate casually.
"Bow 1, you sneak over and see what kind of village this is, don't be discovered" Elven archers are best suited for reconnaissance missions in the dark, they can hide in the dark, and the possibility of being detected is very small.
"Yes, master." Bow 1 took the command and departed.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Bow 1 returned. "Master, this is a human village, there are seventeen houses in the village, and there are two guards with spears at the main gate of the village."
"Very good, hard work, orc warriors, archers, witches, and spellbreakers are looking for a place nearby to hide, don't be discovered, if you see Lao Pu's holy light, there will be a battle, come and support immediately, and the others will come with me." Priest's holy light can be used as a signal light, and the effect of light and shadow is really nothing to say.
With two heroes, three infantrymen and two priests, we were slowly marching towards the main gate of the village, and the two guards had apparently spotted us, one of them ran into the village in a panic to report the news, and the other shouted at us: "Stop! Who are you, who are you?" Hey, I can really understand it, my brain naturally distinguishes that this is the lingua franca of the mainland, and this language implantation ability is really amazing. But the guard was visibly afraid, and his voice trembled.
"We have no ill will, we are travelers, we got lost in the forest, and we finally came out of the forest to here, hoping to spend the night in the village." This is the statement I had thought of before, I don't know anything about this world, so I can only play the role of a lost traveler and slowly inquire about the news first.
"You, you stand there, don't move, if you have anything to say in the village, the village chief will come over and talk about it, someone has already gone to report the news."
"Okay, don't worry, we won't move, we'll just stand here and wait for the village chief."
After a while, the village slowly became noisy, and the sound of knocking on the door, the shouts of men, and the cries of children could be heard. The guard, visibly affected by the movement in the village behind him, clenched his spear tightly in both hands, and shrank back vigorously. After a while, a group of people came over under the leadership of an old man, who was supposed to be the village chief. The guard saw the village chief coming over, and hurriedly ran over and said a few words to the village chief, the village chief nodded, and then led people to stand in front of the village gate, first looked at us with a worried face, and then began to ask: "Two respected knights, I am the village chief of this small village, may I ask what is the matter with you coming to our small village late at night?" If there's anything we can do for us, please feel free to ask, and we'll do our best. ”
Lord Knight? Two of you? It wasn't obviously about me, I looked at Davidian and Priest's outfits, and then at myself, and was dismayed to find that I was really being taken for a sidekick.
"Hello, village chief, we have no ill intentions, we just want to spend the night in the village, by the way, I will ask you a little something, if you are not at ease, I can let the others stay outside the village, just me and the two of them," I pointed to Davion and Priest, "just the three of us into the village." Do you think that's okay? ”
The village chief looked at me, and then respectfully asked Davion and Priest, "Two knights, do the words of this servant represent your will?" "Well, I've been treated as a slave. Davidian and Priest apparently understood the village chief's words, and they were angry that their master had been insulted, and Davidian raised his hand to draw his sword, and Priest raised his hammer to release the light.
"Stop! Little Dai Laopu stopped, it was just a misunderstanding, I don't mind. "You can't slaughter the village because of a misunderstanding, right? I couldn't do this kind of thing, so I calmed them down first, then turned to the village chief and said, "Well, village chief, I am not a servant, I am their master, and they are my servants." The village chief was also taken aback by Davidian and Priest's actions, and after hearing my words, he first had an expression of "I don't read much, don't lie to me", and then after making sure that I was not joking, a cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
"My lord, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I am here to ask for your forgiveness." The village chief was about to kneel down as he spoke.
"Eh, don't kneel, I said I don't mind, can we enter the village now?" I hurried over to help the village chief who was about to kneel, and Davion and Priest followed me.
"Of course, please come in, please come in, you and your knights can come to my house to rest at night, and as for the others, I will have the people in the village prepare food for them." The village chief looked at the two heroes beside me with a frightened look on his face, and kindly invited us to his house as guests. Leaving the infantry and priests on standby outside the village, I took Davidian and Priest with me and followed the chief into the village.
I took a comfortable bath in the village chief's house, wearing the clothes specially prepared for me by the village chief, and lying comfortably in the guest room, although it was a little simpler, and the bed was not as comfortable as the Terran base, but it was a bed, wasn't it? Davidian was on guard in the hallway, and Priest was protecting me in the room, and after looking at the uncle in front of me, the desire to recruit a girl hero as a personal bodyguard intensified.
I already knew that I was now located in the southern plains of the Empire of Light, and legend has it that the first king of the Empire of Light was able to sweep away the princes and unify the empire with the help of the Holy See of Light, so the Holy See of Light is also the state religion of the Empire of Light. The forest I walked out of was the Warcraft Forest, which is said to contain many uncivilized races and powerful Warcraft. That's all the village chief knows, and he can only get this information for the time being.
There is also a group of thieves stationed in this vicinity, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of nearby villages, and by the way, some protection fees are charged, and there are probably dozens of members of the group. According to the village chief's description, there are three pests on the plains, which are rat people, goblins, and plain wolves.
The nezumi are probably only as tall as an adult's calf, and as the name suggests, being timid as a rat is the best way to describe them. They are thieves on the plains, using families as units, stealing food, stealing clothes, stealing farm tools, whether it is useful to them or not, their first instinct is to steal and take them back to their nests. But they don't attack humans and livestock, and sometimes they lead people who get lost on the plains, or send lost children home. So if you get caught stealing, people will just take back what was stolen and chase them away without harming them.
Goblins are about the same height as the nezumi, but goblins are much more harmful than nezumi, and they can be described as cruel, mean, cowardly, and greedy. Goblins eat almost everything, and when hungry they will even attack other goblins and eat them, with nezumi being their main food. To humans, a small number of goblins are as annoying thieves as the nezumi, but when there are enough of them, goblins can even attack villages and eat everything they see.
Finally, there are the Plains Wolves, which live together in groups, each with a leader. Large plains wolf packs can number up to a thousand individuals, but such large groups generally only operate in the depths of the plains, and small groups are made up of dozens of plains wolves. Wolves of the Plains attack humans and livestock, as well as directly attack villages, and are the biggest threat on the Plains.
The main targets of the bandits are goblins and plains wolves, who regularly clean up these pests for several nearby villages before charging a fee. As for why it is called the Righteous Thieves Group, it is because they have not paid taxes to the empire and are not officially recognized by the empire, so they can only be called the Righteous Thieves Group.
