In the days of news blackout, Linda, like most people, never imagined that there would be other tribes further north.

She didn't expect that what she had planned for a long time would be easily destroyed by this group of people who came from afar.

"What I'm going to do, it's none of your business!"

has ruthlessly dismantled the disguise, Linda said angrily.

"I didn't mean that, we thought, whatever you're planning, it's not a good idea to risk your life, maybe we can help."

Jun Qianqian sighed and walked out of the grass, with Xiao Basket and Shanshan following behind her.

Several more people came out of sight, and Linda was startled again.

"Where the hell did you all come from?"

Linda held her head in her hands.

Hell yes!

However, Jun Qianqian stood there, even if she was only wearing a gray and bare animal skin coat, she looked much better than Luo Ze.

What's more, Linda felt that there was a kind of affection in her, which made her, who was originally very defensive in her heart, can't help but want to believe Jun Qianqian.

After explaining where they came from, the atmosphere on both sides was much more friendly.

"The village where I live is called Harom, and I used to make a living by picking herbs and wild fruits."

Linda also told them what had happened here.

It turns out that there is a village called Harom nearby, the population is not large, and the life is not rich, but because of the unique climate, the woods are green all year round, as long as people are diligent, they can support themselves.

In addition to the village of Harrom, there are many such small settlements nearby, and everyone lives a quiet and peaceful life, similar to the situation of the southern tribes who did not start to do things.

Until one day, suddenly a village, united several surrounding villages, built a city, and announced that all the surrounding villages must obey the orders of the city lord.

Since then, life has been getting harder and harder.

"The town system?"

Jun Qianqian listened to Linda's story, and her eyes rolled twice.

The lord demanded that the surrounding villages hand over half of their annual income to the lord in exchange for the lord's protection, and if they resisted, they would be attacked by the lord or damned.

"Collecting taxes? Damnation? ”

Jun Qianqian was stunned when she heard it.

It's good to go out more, what a long insight!

"What is damnation?"

Tianyin couldn't help but ask.

"The lord of the castle has a thing that can emit light, and the people who are irradiated will not grow up, and they will remain the same as they were until they die."

Linda said in a heavy tone, and the others listened with a pang in their hearts.

How does this sound a bit like the situation of a priest or priestess?

Luo Ze frowned tightly, he suppressed the waves in his heart, Jun Qianqian's expression was more controlled, and she didn't even tremble her eyes.

"Can this control be lifted?"

Jun Qianqian asked.

"I've heard that there is a medicine in the castle lord's palace that can be drunk to remove the curse, but no one in our village has ever received such a pardon, and no one living in the city seems to have seen such a thing."

Linda recalls the tribe's once cursed villagers, who remained young until they died, but they all died very early, basically within three or four years after their bodies stopped growing.

The deaths of those people were very miserable, as if the time that had been stopped had all been reflected on their bodies in an instant.

Good people will melt like dirt, and their bodies will age rapidly, and the corpses left behind after death seem to be only a handful of dry bones.

"Then you want to sneak into the city to find an antidote?"

Jun Qianqian guessed Linda's plan a little.

"Yes."

Linda nodded vigorously, her eyes glinting with determination.

"I think it's better to steal their damnation than to go for the antidote that I don't know exists?"

Tianyin felt that Linda's plan was full of loopholes, and if there was a little problem in any link, she would be sent to death in vain.

"How many years can a person who is irradiated by God's wrath live?"

When Luo Ze heard the tragic death of those people, his already pale face became even paler, and he clenched his fists with both hands and asked.

"The longest person I've ever seen, five years."

Linda spoke of this feeling of loss, she knew this person, they used to be neighbors.

"Don't think about it."

Jun Qianqian silently held Luo Ze's hand, smoothing his stiff fingers one by one, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to hold her soft palm hard.

The situation Linda said is very similar to Jun Qianqian, but it is not exactly the same.

At the very least, Jun Qianqian's growth will definitely be stagnant for more than five years, and Shanshan's memories can prove that her body has remained the way it is now for at least ten years.

She's not going to suddenly turn into dry bones.

"Since you are pretending to be a girl who has been robbed and planning to sneak into the city, is this city lord a person who covets beauty?"

Sansa is good at finding human weaknesses.

Even if the situation of that "Heavenly Damnation" and Jun Qianqian's situation does not completely coincide, such similarities are worth investigating.

"Yes, the lord of the city is very fond of beautiful girls, and every year before winter, the city sends people to the surrounding villages to capture the beautiful women, and after they enter the city, they never return."

Linda couldn't help but shudder, even if she wanted to expose her face and be caught in the city, she was very scared when she talked about the women who were captured.

But she didn't want to continue to hide and escape in fear, many people around her died, and she would die sooner or later, no matter what, she had to do her best to do something.

"We know too few clues."

Sansa shook her head.

She is the most beautiful of the six people in Purple Flower, and she is willing to sacrifice a little hue for the sake of the purpose, it is feasible to blend into the city in this way, but what about after blending in?

What should they do? How to protect yourself, and how to escape once exposed.

Not only Shanshan shook her head, but Jun Qianqian would not throw her companion into the fire pit to fend for herself in order to investigate.

"Linda, you said that the city lord likes beautiful women, do you have any other requirements besides looks?"

Jun Qianqian touched her chin and continued to ask.

"I've also heard that the women who are taken away have to be chosen again, and those who pass the customs will be sent to the harem of the city lord, and even the unsuccessful women will not be released, but will be taken to the palace to do some other work."

Linda told Jun Qianqian some news that she was not sure about.

Harem?

Listening to this familiar word, Jun Qianqian felt a little confused, this is the system of the town, and the name is obviously Western, how can there be such a word with the wrong painting style of the harem?
