When Eddie awoke, he found himself lying in his hut with an old man and Uncle Paul sitting beside the bed.

The old man, Eddie, also knew him, and was the only doctor in the town, presumably called by Uncle Paul.

Paul is happy to find Eddie awake, but looks at the doctor with a bad face. The doctor didn't say anything more, told Eddie to wake up, nodded to Paul, and walked out.

"Eddie, how are you feeling when you wake up, are you feeling unwell?" asked Paul, looking at Eddie who had woken up.

"I didn't feel uncomfortable, I just felt like I slept for a long, long time. Eddie sat up slowly and said.

When Paul saw that Eddie was about to get up, he hurriedly stopped: "You better rest more." ”

"No, Uncle Paul, I can get up now. Eddie replied.

Seeing Eddie's insistence, Paul didn't say much, and changed the subject and said with a worried face: "The town is quite surprised that you were attacked by a dead soul and still alive. But ......"

"I know that no one survives the Dead unharmed, do they all think I've been corrupted by the Dark Arts?" said Eddie calmly.

Paul nodded heavily.

Eddie smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Paul. I'm fine, not corrupted by black magic. ”

Eddie had heard from his mother that if he was corrupted by black magic, he would have a strong urge to kill, and that black spell marks might appear on his wrists. I didn't find either, so I shouldn't have been eroded by black magic.

Paul sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

With that, Eddie walked towards the outside of the hut. Paul tried to block but as soon as he hesitated, Eddie had already walked out.

When Eddie walked out the door, he found that quite a few people had gathered outside the door, and almost the entire town had appeared to surround the grass hut.

"This kid has definitely been corrupted by black magic!" one of them shouted first.

Eddie looked at the man, who was the proprietress of a tailor's shop.

With the first, there was a second, and there was a third, and they all began to heckle: "People corrupted by black magic are dangerous, get out of town!" "Get out of town!" "Get out of town!" "Your parents hurt us, do you want to hurt us too?"

All sorts of voices appeared in Eddie's ears, and Eddie felt disgusted when he looked at the faces of these people.

"Shut up!" exclaimed Uncle Paul, "do you still have a conscience?

Uncle Paul stood in front of Eddie, protected Eddie, and said to everyone, "I believe Eddie, he will never be corrupted by black magic!

With that, the rest of the hunters also stepped forward to protect Eddie.

Eddie's heart warmed, as if he had made a decision, and he walked out of Paul's group and into front of the townspeople.

Glancing back at Uncle Paul's determined eyes, he sighed in his heart and said to the townspeople: "I can go, don't think that there is anything worthy of my nostalgia in your town, there are also these uncles behind me." ”

Uncle Paul heard Eddie say that he was leaving, and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Eddie's sincere eyes.

Eddie continued, "You're a bunch of stupid people, too stupid to understand. ”

Eddie looked at the freckled boy, "Selfish!"

Looking at the butcher shopkeeper: "Greedy!"

"If it weren't for the people who believed in me and helped me, I would have left here a long time ago. Eddie added, "I'll leave at once, you idiots." Tomorrow I won't have to see your disgusting faces again. ”

After listening to Eddie's words, the freckled boy yelled, "What are you pretending?

Eddie heard this and rushed straight at the freckled boy. A punch slammed into the right side of the boy's face, knocking out several teeth. The freckled boy was knocked to the ground and shouted, "You still dare to hit someone!"

Because the teeth were gone, the freckled boy's words sounded very funny.

The people on the side saw that Eddie dared to make a move, and stepped forward one after another.

Eddie turned his head and glared and said, "I see if any of you dare to come up, you're not afraid of black magic!"

Everyone dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, dragged up the freckled boy on the ground, left a sentence of "get out of town" and dispersed in all directions.

After seeing everyone leave, Eddie turned to look at the hunters behind him and said, "Thank you, uncles." ”

Paul said, "Eddie, why do you bother?"

Eddie looked at Paul and said, "Uncle Paul, if I don't leave, they won't dare to trouble me because they are afraid of the dark arts." But you are different, you helped me in public today, and if I don't leave, you will be implicated in the town in the future. ”

Paul sighed, looked at the young man in front of him, hesitated and said, "Then when are you leaving?"

Paul understood Eddie's thoughts, and even if he didn't care, he would have to think about the other hunters.

"Depart early tomorrow morning. ”

"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, so let's have a good drink today. ”

"Good!" "Good!"

......

Everyone drank and chatted about the fun things they used to hunt.

Paul had a drunken face and said with a smile, "Eddie, do you remember? The first time you went hunting with us, you were startled by a porcupine that jumped out. ”

Eddie blushed and smiled, "Uncle, don't mention it after such a long time." ”

"Hahaha......" The crowd also laughed.

Happy times are always short-lived, and Eddie drinks little and gets drunk in a few strokes. Leave a few other hunters drinking alone.

Everyone's mood is heavy, and the partner who has been with him for five years is leaving, and no one is in a bad mood.

One last glance at Eddie, who was flushed and drunk, left a sincere blessing and left.

No one wants to see what Eddie looks like when he leaves.

......

The next morning, Eddie woke up from his sleep and patted his head, which was still a little dizzy.

Looking around, several uncles have already left.

At the wine table, Eddie sees a money bag and a map.

Inside the purse was some copper coins given to Eddie by Paul's people, and the map was Paul's own map to the city of Nance.

"I will definitely repay this kindness to Eddie George. ”

Eddie put his things in a backpack, strapped them around himself, and walked out of the hut.

Eddie looked back at the familiar streets, and there were places and people that he still remembered.

Looking at Eddie walking away, the people of the town let out a sound of joy.

"This stinky boy is finally gone. "There is no black magic left. "Don't come back. ”

Ridiculous bunch of people......

......

The town of Cree is located in the southernmost part of the Arden Empire and is part of the city of Nanth, while the Forest of Dead Souls is in the south of the Arden Empire, close to the Arden Empire, the Black Bo Empire, and several other countries.

The purpose of Eddie's trip is the city of Nance in the north.

There was a path that connected Cree Town to Nanth City, and Eddie had just set foot on that path at the moment.

Behind this place, the town of Kerry grew smaller and smaller until it was gone.

Eddie found that after waking up from the erosion of black magic, his five senses were much more sensitive. Walking on the path, you can hear the sounds of animals on the left and right.

"Maybe it's the effect of the Dead Soul's erosion, but why is it a benefit?" thought to Eddie.

Suddenly, Eddie saw birds flying in the distance, and heard a small noise.

Eddie crouched down and pressed his ear to the ground.

The sound of "da-da" is getting louder and closer.

Eddie immediately dodged and climbed into a tree next to the path and hid.

Sure enough, twenty or thirty thieves on horseback passed through the road at a rapid pace.

"Bandits, how can there be bandits in a place like this?" Eddie wondered.

Looking in the direction of the bandits, Eddie let out an exclamation, "Kerry Town!"
