Hunting monsters and enjoying hot water, two seemingly simple things are not simple in the Black Forest.

It was getting dark, but the village of Kuronuma was very jubilant as usual. Originally, at this time, the villagers had to hide in their cold and dirty broken shacks to survive the cold night. But tonight they were running around, beaming with joy.

It's not that a bunch of broken settlements have changed sexually, but there are benefits.

But when everyone was happy, there were still people hiding in their smelly rooms, sneering at the bustle outside through the cracks in the tattered wooden boards. For example, Rubio, a medicine merchant in the village.

The production of Kuonuma Village needs to be sold to the outside world in exchange for food, clothing, tools and other necessities. Although the environment is harsh and the roads are dangerous, the business is extremely lucrative and attracts many merchants.

Rubio had opened a storehouse in the village, and the short, lanky old man, with a wrinkled face and a stiff back, had a reputation for being mean and cunning. The people in the village exchanged their lives for all kinds of products, but they couldn't exchange much materials in his hands, and they were exploited.

Rubio profited a lot from the trading of the Black Swamp Village, and he raised several stout bodyguards, making him quite powerful in the village. He just can't see a stronger existence than him in this poor place, which will cause him to no longer be able to control those poor people.

But now things are happening out of control.

"These poor ghosts are happy as if they have been saved by the gods, and they are still making noise when it gets dark." Old Rubio lay in front of his room, squinting a pair of triangular eyes and looking out, "Aren't they going to get up and work again tomorrow?" ”

Rubio Sr. had a humble house in the village of Black Swamp, and four or five bodyguards guarded his property day and night. When the leader of the sludge monster attacked, he was also frightened and panicked, and hurriedly closed the door, trembling and thinking that the monster would leave by itself when it was full.

Unexpectedly, the monster was not full, but was killed.

When the village was jubilant, the elder Rubio almost thought he was hallucinating. It wasn't until he saw through the crack in the door panel that the poor ghosts in the village were cheering and running, that he opened half of the door to inquire about the news - a young Hugo man had come to the village and saved everyone.

Old Rubio was very surprised, he personally went to the direction of the swamp, and saw with his own eyes the leader of the sludge monster who had been poisoned by the paralyzing potion, and also saw the young 'aristocratic boy' who was only in his teens.

Compared with a large number of malnourished villagers who have premature aging at a young age, Zhou Qingfeng can be called handsome and handsome, and his momentum is extraordinary. At first glance, it is a noble portrait of a noble person, who must have a deep background, and is not a child of an ordinary family.

When Old Rubio passed by Zhou Qingfeng, he involuntarily groveled and showed respect. But when he returned to his dilapidated house, he immediately realized the danger of Zhou Qingfeng - this young man was not only here to kill monsters, he actually let the whole village take a collective bath.

Because of poverty, there are not even a few cauldrons in the village, and it is difficult to boil hot water. No one ever thought about taking a shower after a hard day. Toiling in the swamp every day, picking up a life is earned, and returning to their respective shacks is even more sleepy.

It's even happier to be able to fill your stomach.

Taking a bath, taking a hot bath, that's a pleasure that only the best people can have. Where do inferior people deserve this treatment?

This is not a joke, the lowliness of a lowly person is not as noble as an animal.

There is no shortage of intrigues and intrigues in the village of Black Pond, and everyone has a bad stomach. The villagers are calculating each other all the time over trivial matters, intriguing, and constantly fighting for internal friction. No one has ever wanted to change this and take this for granted.

But this 'of course' was broken in only half a day.

"Monsieur Rubio, Lord Hugo said to buy all the flour in your shop." The servant of the dwarf witch doctor appears outside the herb store.

Rubio buys valuable medicinal materials from Black Swamp Village, many of which are spellcasting materials that wizards love. What he sold was ordinary daily necessities, including food and tools.

Hearing that the old Borg wanted to buy all the flour, Rubio immediately shook his head. Now that the goblin plank road is blocked, food is the most scarce material, no matter how life and death are fought outside, the various forces always have to eat, and the grain can be bought at a high price immediately.

But before Rubio could refuse, the servant who had come to buy the grain said, "Old Borg says that this is an order from His Excellency Hugo, and that anyone in the village must obey it. If you dare to raise the price or even refuse, you better worry about causing public outrage. ”

What's ......, the wrath of the crowd?

Rubio has already caused public outrage, who in the village doesn't hate him as a profiteer? But in the past, the villagers were scattered and contradictory, and no one could challenge him. Can ...... now

A teenager was born!

Thinking about Zhou Qingfeng's majesty in killing the sludge monster at the edge of the swamp, Rubio had to weigh the consequences of his refusal to sell food. He has seen Zhou Qingfeng's leadership, and now those poor ghosts and people in the village are obeying him, because he is the strongest.

If he stood on the opposite side of Uncle Zhou, as long as he had a look, a word, or even a hint, the people in the village would dare to unite to chop Rubio alive, and then happily divide his family property.

At this moment, Rubio realized that the servants who came to his herb shop to deliver the message all looked arrogant, with their heads raised and chests high, unlike the usual group of low-eyed and pleasing eyes. This is with the backing of 'Your Excellency Hugo'!

Thinking that the grain that could be sold at a high price would be sold cheaply, Rubio was distressed and didn't want to agree. But if he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, he was afraid that a dozen people would rush in immediately, and he would be set up and sent to the dwarf witch doctor's shack in minutes.

The black-hearted old dwarf was cold-blooded and ruthless, afraid that he would smiling and tying Rubio to his dirty dissecting table for live experiments.

As for the few bodyguards in the warehouse, they had no problem bullying the waste villagers, but when they saw the sludge monster, they definitely turned around and ran away. And what about a teenager who is more terrifying than a sludge monster? I'm afraid that I don't dare to put a fart.

"I'm ......, okay." Rubio opened his mouth for a long time, but could only bow his head without pulling a few wilts. He was just thinking about how to deal with the strong appearance of 'Lord Hugo', but he didn't expect 'Lord Hugo' to take the lead in cleaning him up.

Rubio gave in, and the servant was even more overjoyed, and a dozen people came in behind him, breaking in like wolves and tigers, and immediately began to move things. At first, they only moved flour, but soon they couldn't control it and began to move other things.

Rubio was calculating with the servant how much to pay, and when he saw this, he was shocked and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?" I only sell flour, and I don't allow anything else to touch. ”

The inferior nature of the villagers will not dissipate because of Zhou Qingfeng's appearance, and may even become worse, at most, the direction of venting is different from usual.

Rubio's shouting didn't help, and several of his bodyguards stood by, not daring to move, and could only watch as the villagers moved everything from the house one by one as if they were robbing.

Those villagers were fed up with Rubio's oppression and restraint on weekdays, and today they have the opportunity to take revenge openly, and no one will let go of this opportunity.

The process of carrying quickly spiraled out of control, and some of the goods were not sent to the dwarf witch doctor's shack at all, but were moved back to their homes by the villagers. Everyone laughed, and no one thought about the consequences.

After a while, the whole warehouse was in a mess. Rubio looked at the looted warehouse and sat on the ground and cried. The family property he had accumulated in the village for many years was all over at once.

"What a bullshit aristocracy, it's clearly a robber. Don't get too complacent, you poor ghosts, sooner or later you will have to pay the price. That Lord Hugo will not let you go easily, and he will definitely squeeze all the oil out of your bones.

There is a great war coming up in the Black Forest, and this war will affect all human villages, and none of you can escape. The church of the evil god Bane is going to celebrate the resurrection of their gods, and there is no better sacrifice than you poor ghosts.

Wait and see, you all have to die, all of you have to die. ”

Rubio broke the jar in a fit of rage and yelled at the villagers. But the villagers were smiling and laughing at the fun, and no one sympathized at all, let alone understood what he was talking about.

After all, the people in the village are really ignorant and don't understand anything.

The scolding voice was hoarse, and Rubio had no strength. When the night was late, he staggered into his dilapidated house like a lonely ghost, and wanted to simply burn himself and the whole village with a fire.

But a torch appeared outside Rubio's herb shop, and the servant who had come to buy food appeared again, and shouted to Rubio, "Hey, Your Excellency Hugo asked you to go." ”

Rubio lay like a dead dog in the dark room, and said weakly, "What if you rob me of all my goods?" ”

"His Excellency Hugo said that he would pay you for the goods." The servant said.

"What?" Rubio turned over violently and sat up with wide eyes, "Your Excellency Hugo is actually willing to pay?" Does he really want to do business with me? ”

There are many strong and weak things in the Black Swamp Village, and Rubio didn't expect to receive money after he was robbed. The servant carrying the torch relayed Zhou Qingfeng's words, "Your Excellency Hugo said that if you want money, you must be obedient. ”

"I'm obedient." Rubio crawled out of the house, fell to the ground, and shouted, "I would like to be a faithful shepherd dog to Lord Hugo." ”
