The old village chief said to Genaro with a bitter face: "The four-winged fire dragon came to the mountain north of the village three years ago, and she wants our village to sacrifice a cow every month, otherwise she will eat everyone in our village." ”

"We once asked the adventurers who passed by to go to fight her, and they never returned. ”

"Then the four-winged dragon came and warned us that if we let people disturb her again, she would eat us all. ”

Only then did Charles notice that the old village chief's clothes were full of patches, and he had no shoes on his feet, so he simply wrapped his feet in rags and wheat stalks, and every month a cow squeezed the village enough.

Although the shoes of the commoners in the Northland in winter are two layers of linen stuffed with wheat straw and hay as an insulation layer, and the outer side is coated with a layer of slime glue to prevent snow water from seeping in, and a wooden sole underneath, there is definitely no way to keep warm just by wrapping wheat straw.

Charles looked closely at it for a while, only to find that the old village chief's right foot was missing a little toe, and he was probably frozen.

The old village chief continued to say to Genaro: "Just a year ago, one night there was lightning and thunder, and a block of ice wrapped in a knife suddenly appeared in the village square. ”

"When one touches the ice, one can talk to the sword called Donna, and she says that if someone can lift the curse that sealed her, she can help the one who lifts the curse to kill the four-winged dragon. ”

"A few days later, a little girl from the Temple of Thunder came a little girl, who was helping us hunt and buy cattle, and at the same time taking care of the knife. ”

The more Charles listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, what was the old village chief's sense of déjà vu when he issued a mission and sent him to the harem.

When it comes to the Temple of Thunder, Charles doesn't know much. I only know that their helm is in the north of the lair of their grandfather, Duke Redkin, and the border with the Kingdom of Biberach, and they are good at artificial rain and electric discharge.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and at this time a heroic little girl walked in. She was dressed in a suit of leather armor, carrying a shield behind her back, a wide and somewhat short sword hanging from her waist, and her light blue hair reaching only to her shoulders.

When she came in, she said to the old village chief, "Grandpa the village chief, I hit a bear. ”

The old village chief seemed relieved and said to her, "Thank you, Cullen. ”

Charles raised an eyebrow when he heard the name.

While Charles was reminiscing about the past, Cullen walked over to the bedside and examined Deborah, and then made the conclusion that the old village chief had just said.

In fact, the old village chief had just recited to Charles exactly what Cullen had said to him before.

Gnaro, who was already anxious and angry, asked, "So how can I save Deborah?"

Cullen looked at Genaro, looked very seriously, and then said, "Come with me, and listen to what Donna has to say." ”

Then Charles said to Genaro, "Go over here, I'll take care of Deborah here." ”

Genaro nodded, thanks to Charles's antidote along the way, otherwise Deborah's consequences would have been unimaginable.

If Charles leaves, Deborah's condition suddenly worsens, it will be more than worth the loss.

After Genaro and the others left, Charles found a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, then reached out and touched Deborah's forehead, still cold.

Charles continued to check again, Deborah's snort and pulse were slow and steady, and her soul was a little weak but not going to die anytime soon, like an animal in hibernation.

At this time, the old village chief came back from somewhere and brought a clay pot full of hot water and placed it on the wooden table in the house.

Charles beckoned to the old village chief, motioning for him to sit down in a chair next to him and have something to ask.

The old village chief sat down on the chair respectfully, and Charles gave him a gold coin just now, so Charles is the master.

Charles asked, "Are all the people who have been poisoned in the past like this, who are cold all over their bodies and can't wake up?"

The old village chief said: "Yes, they all fall asleep, and they die after sleeping for a month or two." ”

"Later, someone tried to feed the patient, but it didn't last long. ”

"This girl was lucky not to meet a big snake, but was bitten by a small snake, otherwise she would have been swept away by the big snake. ”

Charles frowned, he figured out the routine of this snake, the venom of this snake did not kill the prey, but made the prey poisoned and unconscious, packed and taken away as reserve food.

Maybe Deborah accidentally startled the snake when she fell into the water, and then the snake subconsciously bit her.

This is also a great luck in misfortune, at least Deborah will not be in any danger to her life in the short term, at least she can be starved to death through nasal feeding.

At this time, Genaro and the others returned, and he said to Charles, "We will go to the crater to the south to find the Fire Demon Flower and Fire Demon Crystal to break the seal on Donna's body. ”

Charles asked, "Is it the artifact 'Thunder Blade' Donna?"

Gnaro nodded and said, "It's her, you know her?"

Charles replied, "I heard from the elves." ”

"Is it far there?"

Genaro replied, "I'm afraid it will take four days to go back and forth." ”

Charles thought for a moment and said, "Well, you feed the horses with the concentrate first, and then go in a carriage, there should be someone in the village who can drive, and I will stay and take care of Deborah." ”

Genaro was not short of money, he had received a lot of pocket money from Antoine II, plus Enner's reward for tipping the news, enough for him to spend lavishly for a while.

He soon hired a farmer in the village who knew how to drive for one gold coin of Orrey, and after feeding the horses, he left with Lucia and Cullen.

After seeing off Genaro and the others, Charles walked back from the entrance to the village, where he had time to take a closer look at the village.

The houses in the village are fairly solid, but the villagers are generally yellow and thin, and their clothes are patched on top of each other.

What made Charles feel most uncomfortable was that the villagers were all dead and not angry.

Next to the square, several villagers were skinning a giant bear that had been hunted by Cullen.

The children of the village gathered around, all with baskets in their hands, and some people were cutting up the bear's intestines and other internal organs to be distributed to them.

Cattle are very expensive in Bischberg, one cow a month, plus the village's taxes, even with the addition of Cullen to go hunting, is enough to drain the village.

Charles thought for a moment, then walked towards the house where the old village chief lived.

The house of the head of a village is a bit of an official residence, and whoever is the head of the village lives there.

In one of the rooms of the house, Charles saw the Thunder Blade being offered.

It was a slightly curved saber, more than a meter long and three fingers wide, and its scabbard was covered with lightning-like lines.

On the outside of the knife, icicles half a meter in diameter envelop it.

Charles tried to teleport the knife out, but found that the ice was blocking out his mental power.

So Charles reached out and pressed his hand on top of the ice. The ice was cold, making the room much cooler than outside, and Charles realized that there were still some fresh vegetables piled up in the room.

At this time, a voice came into Charles's head: "Hey, new kid?"

Charles asked quietly, "You're Donna?"

Donna replied, "Yo, you also know the name of the old lady?!"

"If you want to take the old lady away, go to the volcano in the south to find the fire magic flower and fire magic crystal to unlock the curse for me. ”

Charles said: "Genaro is already on his way. ”

Danna snorted and said disgustedly, "It turned out to be leftovers that were left behind." ”

Charles ignored her attitude and introduced himself: "My name is ...... Cha"

"I'm not interested in knowing the name of the weak chicken. Donna said in disgust, "Don't bother me. ”

Ignoring Donna's interruptions, Charles continued, "My name is Charles McGarden. ”

Danna suddenly stopped talking, and after about half a minute, she suddenly screamed: "You go away, go away!"
