The sudden scream sounded exceptionally clear in the early morning mountains, and my master and I hurried to the direction where the scream came from, and we were ready for battle.

After running out of the road, but not finding any abnormal conditions along the way, Bing Lemon pointed ahead: "Tail ring, look." ”

I saw a few trees lying on the ground in front of me, from the broken branches all over the ground and the scratches on the ground, it was obvious that there had been a fierce battle, Bing Lemon looked at the scene in front of him, and said in surprise: "What happened here......

I looked at the traces of the fight and said, "It's the battle that just happened." It stands to reason that the monsters here aren't that powerful...... Could it be the boss that the ranger just said? ”

It is possible that the ranger has found the boss he is looking for, or it is possible that he has been beaten back to the real world by that boss.

I searched around the neighborhood and didn't find anyone and didn't find a single monster. Ice Lemon heard the sound before, and then heard the scream, we ran all the way over, it was only a few minutes, and the boss could end the battle in a short period of time, and it was so perfectly hidden, it can be seen that the strength is indeed good.

The silence of the mountain was restored, so quiet that only the whispering sound of the wind blowing through the valley was nearing dawn, and I suddenly remembered that there was still time for fatigue in the ice lemon. Although Bing Lemon has been walking in this world for such a long time, he has completely become accustomed to the feeling of staying up late, and will not yawn all day long when the time of fatigue comes. However, you must still sleep when you are tired.

Walking to a relatively empty place on the side of the mountain, I wanted to summon the fire, find a city nearby, let the ice lemon live, look up and realize that the other side of this Totel Mountain is already the sea, worthy of the "stone turtle crawling along the coastline", under the mountain, the woods faintly reveal the head fire, I said: "This place seems to be inhabited, let's go down and see, if there is a hotel, we don't have to go all the way back to Gaia City." ”

The two of us went down the hill through a poplar forest to a small village, which was not very large, but only a few dozen houses, and in a clearing in the middle of the village, there was a pair of high platforms made of broken stones, and I don't know what the road was used for.

All the houses in the village are single-storey wooden houses, very simple, almost every house has a net hanging on the bamboo shelf in front of the house, and some people have patches of dried fish on the ground in front of the house.

I said: "Grieg fishing village, it turned out to be in this place......"

Bing Lemon asked, "Do you know this place?" ”

I said, "I've heard that there is a place in Middel Bay where the currents of the sea bend, so every day a large number of fish are washed up on the beach, so this coast became a dream for many fishermen, and soon this place became the village of Grieg. ”

Coincidentally, after passing a comprehensive hotel, the so-called comprehensive hotel is a small shop operated by a combination of a restaurant and a hotel, this kind of small village does not have such a large floating population, and the innkeeper is also struggling to make ends meet.

There is no choice, Bing Lemon can only stay in this restaurant, but fortunately, the environment is quiet, it can be regarded as cheap and good, and what is even more rare is that the cuisine of this restaurant is also quite unique, mainly seafood. But in a huge restaurant, empty, not even a person, no wonder, the villagers in this place estimate that they want to vomit when they eat fish, how can they still think of going to the restaurant to eat seafood.

I asked the boss, "Boss, did there have been a fierce fight on the nearby Mount Tor a year ago?" ”

The boss shook his head and said, "The residents of the village rarely go up the mountain, so I don't know. ”

I said, "Rarely go up the mountain?" Is it because this guy from the mountains is very powerful and murderous? ”

The boss was stunned suddenly, and said in a loud voice that he didn't know what to do, but with his nervous expression, it was not difficult to see that he must know something. As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind, so I looked at his menu and ordered the most expensive seafood hot pot and luxury boat sashimi. The boss, who had no business to do for a long time, was suddenly happy, and gave away a bottle of sake for free, but for the question I wanted to ask, the store still refused to say, and the more I asked, the more panicked he became, and he had no choice but to give up.

I was faced with this big pot of hot pot and a big pot of sashimi, but I basically didn't move my chopsticks, just drank alone, because when I was faced with these seafood, I realized that I didn't like seafood at all.

After sitting like this for about two hours, three pots of sake had been drunk, and the restaurant finally welcomed its first guest besides me.

A thin old man with a dirty gray and yellow turban wrapped around his head. Dressed in linen clothes, I also wondered how an old man dressed so shabby could come to the restaurant to consume from breakfast.

Although the old man's face was full of wrinkles, his body was quite strong, and he did not shrug his shoulders and hunched back at all, he ordered gimbap, and sat down in a seat by the window. Gimbap can also be called sushi, something that can be solved in a few bites, but after the old man had eaten, he didn't leave, just sat in his seat and looked out the window.

The game is like this, each scene will arrange some NPCs in it, so as not to make the player feel lonely and lost, this kind of NPC may not like to eat seafood, but the system is set to let him come to this place every day to sit for a few hours, and he can only clock out when the time comes.

Thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little pity for this old man, so let me, a kind mercenary, improve his food today. I said, "Sir, I have too many dishes here, if you don't mind, sit down and eat together." ”

The old man put one palm on his chest, nodded at me, and said, "No need, thank you." ”

Does this mean not to eat the food that comes from the mouth? Although I was not surprised that he rejected my kindness, I was surprised by the gesture he had just made when he spoke to me.

After sitting quietly for a while, the seafood in front of me still didn't understand at all, and the wine had already reached the sixth pot, and if there was a drinking party in this world, I would have already poured it.

Around noon, there was a sudden commotion outside, and I heard a cry, including women and children. I quickly stood up and looked out the window.

I saw a woman in her early thirties, holding a little girl of three or four years old in her arms, who looked like a mother and daughter, but the mother and daughter were both crying, and they didn't know what made them cry so badly on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Moreover, there is a large group of people around, and there is not much population in the entire fishing village, and almost half of the people are already standing in the open space in front of the store, what can affect half of the people in the village?

I asked the shopkeeper, "What are they doing here?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyebrows were tightened, his teeth were gritting, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad, and said, "I don't know the way, and I don't want to know the way." ”

Saying that, I ran into the inner hall again, and I said to myself what happened to the owner of this shop, is it a psychological problem caused by long-term bad business? Regardless of this, I ran out of the corner and saw a strong man in his thirties snatching the girl from the woman's hands. The mother and son cried even harder, and the woman cried, "No, you can't sacrifice my daughter." ”

Many of the onlookers had expressions on their faces that were about to cry, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

I can't help but curse, what is going on in this world now? Don't dare to help the old man who fell down on the street, but now an innocent child like this is starting to do it, in broad daylight, he dares to do so blatantly evil, I don't say a word, I stepped forward and kicked the strong man into a rolling gourd.

"Bastard, not even a child!" I pointed at the guy on the ground and yelled.

The people around me were all exclaimed, I looked at the little girl with tears in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, with my brother here today, no one can bully you." ”

I said this sentence heroically, but I didn't expect the little girl to choke up and say, "Brother...... Don't hit my dad. ”

There was a sudden silence around me, and I seemed to think that I had done something bad with good intentions, and I asked the woman, "What is this lady...... What's going on? ”

The woman said, "This is a ritual to give the mountain gods a tribute for this year only, and to make peace and peace this year." ”

I said, "So you crying so badly is also a part of worshipping the mountain god?" ”

The man I kicked to the ground got up and said, "Because...... This year's tribute is our daughter......"

"Paying tribute? What age is it? Do you still believe this? I asked, surprised.

Suddenly, a very fat aunt stood up and said, "Don't delay, it's too late to delay, let's start our ceremony quickly." ”

I immediately stopped in front of the mother and daughter and said, "As a prophesied warrior, I will not allow such a thing to happen." ”

I wanted to pretend to be a warrior and stop them first, but the fat aunt was completely unmoved, and said: "What about the warrior, this ceremony should have been held before yesterday, that is, a warrior appeared, not only stopped us from carrying out the ceremony, but also broke the altar, he kept saying that he would kill the monster within three days, but today that warrior has no shadow anymore, can we still believe your warrior's words?" ”

I suddenly remembered the ranger who was in a hurry to find the boss in the mountains, it turned out that he had already done what I was doing now yesterday, and if he did die, it would be the third day when he came back online.

I said, "Since you said three days, that's three days, and the warrior you mentioned, I have seen, those little monsters in the mountains are no match for him at all, and I believe that when he touches the monster you mention, he will not lose." ”

This is another white lie, if those villagers know that the warriors of the Dao Dao have also been killed, it will be a mess. I said, "Before the time of three days is up, if anyone wants to do anything to this girl, I will never let him go!" ”
