Chapter 352: Living Village
Lu Xiu looked at the village in front of him and exhaled slowly.
Fortunately, the world has not only developed magic, but also technology.
There's such a thing as a train.
Lu Xiu relied on the road signs all the way and didn't get lost, and at this time, he couldn't help but be a little lucky.
If you get lost, the task overtime is a trivial matter, if the next plot starts and you don't participate, then Lu Xiu has no place to cry.
Now the plot has undergone irreversible changes, Laxus is influenced by Lu Xiu, and his strength is not comparable to the original book at all, even if Natsu is the protagonist... I didn't necessarily beat him.
Although the next plot is about Elusa's past, but... For Gerald... Lu Xiu really wanted to mock and ridicule this person, obviously he used his clone to become a councilor, but he didn't have a brain? Obviously, Jerf is the emperor next door, and he still wants to be there to resurrect Jerph?
This kind of operation really made Lu Xiu stunned.
"Hurry up and solve it..."Lu Xiu muttered to himself, slowly walking towards the village,
According to the mission description, it is said that there are monsters near this village that have eaten all the livestock in the village, but the villagers cannot confirm the shape of the monsters, so Lu Xiu needs to ask on the spot.
Although the explanation was concise and clear, it would be good to kill just one monster, but when Lu Xiu walked into this village, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart.
The task is not as simple as it seems...
Obviously, the smiles on the faces of the villagers in front of him were unusually happy, but Lu Xiu's brows furrowed deeply.
The livestock have been eaten, can you still laugh... Thinking so, Lu Xiu picked two villagers who were chatting and walked over.
"Hello..."
As a result, the two villagers were suddenly stunned when they saw Lu Xiu, and immediately shouted: "Village chief! Outsiders are coming! ”
That voice was really like the roar of a lion in Hedong, deafening.
Taking advantage of Lu Xiu's stunned moment, the two of them ran away, all the villagers who were farming stopped their farm work, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of people were all gone, and a breeze slowly blew on the empty farmland, and a strange smell slowly drifted into Lu Xiu's nose.
Meaty? Obviously, all the livestock was eaten by the monsters... And the smell of meat?
This village... Is that weird... Lu Xiu muttered in his heart and stood in place.
Since the two villagers have just made a report, presumably the village chief of this village will appear soon, right?
I can't rule out the possibility that the two villagers are warning the village chief...
I guess it's too late to walk in now... Lu Xiu simply waited in place.
Slowly, a minute passed, and seeing that there was still no movement in the village, as if all the people had run out, Lu Xiu frowned and slowly walked into the village.
Be quiet... Quietly scary.
This is the only feeling that Lu Xiu had after stepping into this village, obviously the villagers who were doing farm work before were living and working in peace and contentment, chatting enthusiastically, but with Lu Xiu's arrival, the previous scene was like a fantasy, completely disappeared.
The doors of the houses on both sides were closed, and Lu Xiu directly turned the entire village.
Although it was a little rude, Lu Xiu tentatively pushed open the door of a room, looking at the scene inside, Lu Xiu was dumbfounded.
The food on the table was still steaming, but there was no one in the room.
As the previous analogy suggested, these villagers... It's all gone, the big little village, empty.
It's weird... If I were to escape, I should be able to see the escape route... At least hundreds of people, even if they want to escape, there should be movement, right? But just after the two men exclaimed, in just one minute, as the doors of the village closed one after another, all the people in the village really disappeared.
"It's really a ghost..."Lu Xiu couldn't help muttering.
The aroma of meat in the air became more and more intense, and Lu Xiu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I want to go to the incense source to check the situation, but it's really difficult.
His nose wasn't as sharp as Natsu's dragon slayers.
In the final analysis, what is different from ordinary people in his five senses is his eyesight and touch.
The sense of smell, hearing and taste is the same as that of ordinary people.
Although the ordinary human nose can distinguish the fragrance from the smell, it cannot distinguish the source of the fragrance under the rich fragrance.
Even after getting used to the fragrance, you can't smell it anymore.
This is where human resilience comes in.
"It is estimated that if Natsu and the others take this task, I am afraid that if they don't directly hit the magic bombardment, they will bulldoze this place and then look for it..."Lu Xiu couldn't help muttering.
To be honest, in fact, with the weirdness of this mission, Lu Xiu could completely refuse to proceed on the spot, turn around and leave.
After all, I can't even find a client until now, so what kind of commission is there to talk about.
But people sometimes die like this, the weirder the thing, the more curious it is, even if you will regret it afterwards, but in the middle of the matter, even if you know that there will be a pit in front of you, you will still jump down.
Human curiosity never ends.
"Hey! Anyone? I'm a magister sent by Fairy Tail! Helpless, Lu Xiu could only use the most stupid method, standing in place and yelling.
The sound echoed through the village, but there was no other sound than this one.
If it weren't for the steaming food in the house, Lu Xiu would have really thought that he had fallen for some illusion.
"Count it up... I've gone around the whole village... Why can I still smell that meaty smell? Shouldn't you have gotten used to it a long time ago? Lu Xiu muttered to himself.
"Young man!" Suddenly, there was a call behind him.
Lu Xiu was shocked, startled by this sudden sound.
I didn't respond to my shouting before, and your sudden voice will scare people to death!
Lu Xiu turned his head a little annoyed, but saw an old woman who was too old with her back bent, standing tremblingly in the previous planting field, and beckoned to Lu Xiu.
Seeing someone appear, Lu Xiu didn't think much about it, and walked to the old woman's side.
There can't be any demons and monsters in this magical world, right?
"Young man, how did you get here? Go, go! It's not safe here! Although the old woman was about to lose her walk, she spoke with confidence, and said eagerly towards Lu Xiu.
"Grandma, I'm the Fairy Tail Magister, and I've been asked to go to this Yan village to help them get rid of a monster that is doing nothing." Lu Xiu calmly said his intention.
"Yan Village?" The old woman was slightly stunned, looked at Lu Xiu, and shook her head, "This is not Yan Village, this village is called Living Village." ”
Living Village? Lu Xiu looked back at the village suspiciously, living village? Why did I become a dead village as soon as I came?。。
"I live in Yan Village, come with me." The old woman sighed slightly, as if she didn't want to talk much about this living village.
Lu Xiu was slightly stunned, and left this place behind the old woman.
