"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing the Pope talking to him with a pleasant face, the village chief suddenly relaxed, "Actually, we haven't been in contact with outsiders for hundreds of years, and the biggest advantage of this place is that few people pass by. Coupled with the fact that we are surrounded by mountains, our lives have never been affected. We ourselves do not reject contact with other races, but basically everyone who sees us will misunderstand us and treat us as undead, and we are very lucky to meet someone who remembers our true identity. ”

"You just said that you haven't been in contact with outsiders for hundreds of years?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously, "Do you mean that you met other ethnic groups hundreds of years ago?"

"Yes!" the village chief nodded, "Basically, for hundreds of years, there will be some people like you who have come here by chance. I vaguely remember that the last time I was a dwarf who had been lost for more than half a month, about 300 years ago, right? He directly regarded us as undead spirits, and when we met in the middle of the night, he ran away in fright without saying a word, and never came back after that, and I don't know if he successfully left this mountain! But more than 300 years have passed, whether he left or not, he should have passed away, right?"

"Although we have taken a shortcut, there should be a lot of people passing by here, right?" Jia Zhengjin asked, "The popularity of flying mounts is not low, and both the rich and the noble will use it. Hasn't anyone discovered your village for hundreds of years?"

"There must have been quite a few people who have found our village," replied the chief, "but we have been asleep most of the time, waking up only late at night until the first second of the next day, and then moving around the village before dawn." As soon as the sun comes up, we fall back into a deep sleep, so we only have six or seven hours a day in the dark. Even if anyone stays in the village during the day, or passes through the village, we will not be able to touch it, unless we stay like you and wait until we wake up. ”

I see! Jia Zhengjin understood that although these forsaken people were not undead spirits, they also had some similarities with the undead. First of all, they cannot exist during the day, they only appear at night, and they only come out around 0:00 to 7:00. Therefore, even if passers-by discover the village or stop here. As long as you don't stay until 0:00 the next day, it's impossible to see them at all.

This village is actually quite suspicious, and normal people will avoid it when they see it. That is, his own team is strong, so he has no scruples. In addition, if you really meet them in person, you will directly treat them as undead undead. There is a reason why the Forsaken have not been discovered by the outside world until now.

Now that you understand this, all the doubts in your heart will be solved.

"I'm sorry to bother you!" Jia Zhengjin was apologetic, "Our team just happened to pass by, mistaking you for the undead undead. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, we will leave the village immediately and find another place to rest nearby. ”

"Distinguished guests," replied the village chief softly, "we don't really mind this, and it makes us happy to have someone who remembers us." If our appearance doesn't frighten you, if you don't mind facing us, then there's no need to leave, and you'll stay in the village tonight, right?"

"Will it affect you if we stay?" asked the Pope worriedly.

"Don't worry about the guests," the village chief laughed, "Actually, after we wake up every day, there is basically nothing to do. And during the day, everyone is asleep, and it is difficult to get the time to wake up, and no one needs to sleep. So you can sleep in the house generously and it won't bother us. Truth be told, since we became conscious, we have not been able to leave this area, and we have not been able to walk half a step out of the confines of the village. I woke up bored and didn't have any needs. We don't eat, we can't drink, we have zero needs, we have to cultivate, clean, and plant day after day, which is meaningless. It's good that you stay here, even if it's only for one night, and we can temporarily stop this daily repetition of meaningless work. ”

"Really?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Since it doesn't affect it, of course it's better to stay." Building a new camp on the fly, it wastes a lot of time. But I'm curious, why can't you leave this village?"

"Yes!" said the Pope, also full of curiosity, "is there any special reason why you can't leave here? After all, you can't eat the vegetables and fruits that are grown, and you don't need to rest in the clean house......"

"We've been thinking about it ourselves for thousands of years. The village chief sighed, "We are tired of this kind of life for a long time, and we want to go to a new place, a different place, to try a completely different life." ”

"And what do you think of that is restricting yourself?" Connie couldn't help but ask.

The village chief lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said, "We have thought about it for thousands of years, but we still haven't been able to figure it out. There is only one thing that can be determined, there is a deep place under the village, an area that we cannot reach by ourselves. Perhaps, that is the answer we need to seek. ”

"Extremely deep place?" Jia Zhengjin asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

"All we know is that there is a deep place in the village, and we don't remember who told us that there is a great secret in that place. We've tried to dig down to find the secrets of the deepest places, but a special force has been holding us back, and we're forced to give up. If you ask us what the deepest places are, we don't know anything about them! Forget it, don't think about this kind of thing, maybe it will always be out of our reach. If you need help, please feel free to let us know that our whole village will be happy to help you. If you want to rest, we won't bother. ”

"We're on our way tomorrow," the Pope whispered to Jia Zhengjin, "the matter of the Dark Dragon is very important!

"That's right. Jia Zhengjin nodded, and then said to the village chief, "In this case, then we will be cheeky to stay overnight! We have to hurry up tomorrow, after all, we have important things to do." If I have the opportunity to come back this time, I may find a time to come back to see you and help you study the things in the most profound places. ”

"Really?" said the village chief, in a voice of joy, "Thank you so much!"
