"Why? Why on earth would they stay here? "I've been thinking about this since Edward came back to the team.

"Hmph, what the hell did Edward see, how did he become so weird? Could it be that he has been cursed? Ash said worriedly.

Ibeth on the side shook her head and said, "My brother is just thinking, and my brother likes to frown and point his finger at his head when he thinks. So I knew he must have thought about some difficult question. ”

So what was he thinking about? Why can't you tell us about it, maybe we know. Ash said unconvinced. In fact, it is also out of fear.

"I'll go find him." Ash said yes and went to Edward.

Edward saw that everyone was looking at him, and understood that everyone was concerned about him, so he told everyone what he saw and thought.

"yes, those people know that staying here will be cursed, why are they still there? And is it really as scary as you say? Ash's little face turned a little white, after all, Edward's tragic situation was terrifying to think about.

"Yes." Edward was somewhat silent.

"Hehe, in fact, sometimes dangerous places are also safe places." The barrel suddenly spoke.

"A dangerous place is also a safe place?" Edward understands that the barrel is a senior, and the Wolf Principality is not far from here, so he must know something.

As he muttered these two sentences, Edward suddenly "ahh

"I see, it's really the most dangerous place is the safest place, but the cost of this kind of safety is too great, right?" Edward said incredulously.

"What? What do you understand? Don't keep talking about dumb riddles, tell me what the hell is going on? Ash said anxiously.

Edward looked at Riven and Ebeth as if they were a little emotional, and it seemed that compared to Ash, who was simple and well-off, this question would be difficult for her to figure out.

"There is no price without a price, the fear of death is not something that everyone can overcome, for ordinary people, it is better to live than to die." The barrel was still satisfied with Edward's understanding, so he explained.

"Trolling the tail in the middle, maybe that's the truth." Edward was a little sad at this moment.

"Hmph. What exactly is the answer? I'll be angry if I don't talk about it anymore. Looking at Ash's cute appearance when he was angry, Edward suddenly smiled. Cherish the current life, only by becoming stronger can you not wag your tail in the mud!

"The barren wilderness is full of bandits, and killing is not uncommon here. So survival has become the first priority here. The River of the Dead may have a curse, but it is not really a place of death. From the perspective of the villagers, it seems that people are not like ghosts, and they have various physical disabilities, but because of this, they can survive here. Because the curse makes this place very terrifying. In fact, few bandits dare to come here, then they will also become very safe. Edward said.

Pulling out a weed from the side of the road, Edward continued, "Just like this weed, the River of the Dead is the only river in the barren wilderness, so even if the land here is cursed, there will be weeds growing here. Everyone is struggling to survive, but they choose to do it in a different way. ”

"But if you don't feel good about here, you can leave here?" Ash asked, puzzled.

She felt that the way these people were doing was too strange, didn't it hurt to be physically disabled?

Although the environment in which the elves live is not very good, it is not bad either.

Relatively speaking, the barbarians she had seen were the worst living conditions, but the barbarians had never lost their courage. On the contrary, they are more courageous and dare to fight against anything.

The bad weather, the scarce food, and the beasts of prey all became the stones on which the barbarians tempered themselves.

"So it takes courage, and courage is the most important thing to change yourself." Edward said with deep feeling. For example, when he came to this world, he was actually very scared at first, and only after experiencing more things did he gradually become brave and strong.

"And these people are not by nature, they hit us with stones, in fact, they want to drive us away, maybe just to prevent us from being cursed." Edward reassured.

"Yes." Ash was finally feeling better.

"Drive!" Suddenly a dozen knights on tall horses appeared behind him.

Seeing that they didn't slow down at all, they didn't seem to care about Edward's pedestrians at all.

At this moment, the dozen or so knights had already galloped past Edward and the others.

The road in the barren wilderness is actually quite wide, so the riding skills of these dozen knights also seem to be exquisite. Basically maintains the width of a straight line, and does not hit a few of them.

It's just that the dust that rolls up doesn't make it a good taste.

Edward used a wind spell to blow the dust away, and it can be seen that the mage is still very convenient in daily life.

The knight on the horse was blown in dust. Although he left an annoyed look, he didn't mean to stop.

"This group of people is in such a hurry, is there something going on in front of you?" Edward could see that the knight on the horse was wearing good equipment.

You must know that in the barren wilderness, it is basically a wild land similar to the northland.

Even the small country here can hardly make up a dozen knights in armor, after all, although there are many mineral deposits here, there is not much grain and grass for horses to eat.

"Let's go and see it too." Ash and Edward were the most curious, so they naturally wanted to see the excitement.

Dirt and Rock is a very standard town in the barren wilderness.

The dilapidated walls have been repaired countless times, and they are still quite high.

In the town, there are some simple wooden houses. There are even quite a few shacks, and it doesn't rain all year round in the barren wilderness.

The largest and tallest building in the town is not the mayor's house, but the only tavern in the town called "Wild Spring". It is said that this tavern has opened all over the barren wilderness, and the background is very strong.

And for the people who have a barren field with no tomorrow today, wine is a necessity of life, and there is wine today and drunk tomorrow.

After all, the town is relatively safer than the villages in the wild, and in order to prevent some wild people from entering the town, they must pay taxes, which is also a source of income for the town.

However, there was a strong man with a wine barrel taking the lead, and the gatekeeper was just a high-level thug, how dare he collect taxes, so he let everyone in.

The town can be said to be unobstructed, especially the dust on the ground has not been swept for many years, and it is really similar to the town in the desert. There wasn't a single pedestrian in the town, and it looked like a ghost town, and in this unusual situation, it was clear that something was going to happen here.

In the stable outside the tavern, Edward also saw the horses ridden by the knights, and there was a knight guarding next to him, and when he saw Edward, several of them immediately fought angrily, including the knights who had just been blown dust by Edward with the wind technique.

It's just that the physique of the barrel is really huge, and the knight is alone now, and he doesn't dare to attack at will.

When I entered the tavern, there were already a lot of people sitting here, but the whole tavern was not as lively as an ordinary tavern, but quietly seemed to be unusually quiet.

The people looked at the people who came in, some of them were not interested when they saw Edward and the others, others were silently observing, and no one spoke.

Edward could easily tell that the people here were all strong men with good strength, and everyone had weapons around them, as if they were about to break out.

But now that "peace" can be maintained, it is clear that they are waiting for something. (To be continued.) )

PS: I hope you can keep your courage and not be defeated by life.
