"What's going on out there?"

Jack and Brooks were in Brooks's quarters, in a cave in the middle of a mountain wall, which looked relatively rudimentary, but it was pretty good compared to the dilapidated straw huts outside, at least the cave was still insulated.

"I'll go take a look. Brooks stood up: "Mr. Jack, I would like you to consider the conditions I just mentioned, we just have what we need." ”

Brooks had just walked out of the camp when he saw a middle-aged man running briskly.

"Lord Leader, the mage from that adventure party, is treating our wounded. ”

"Heal, magician?" Brooks raised an eyebrow, his words revealing considerable dissatisfaction, "Didn't I say, don't trade with outsiders?"

Jack was behind Brooks, and as soon as he heard the magician, he knew it was Ron and Sylvie.

"My lord, we didn't make a deal with each other, they seem to be voluntary. The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"I'll go over and take a look. Brooks glanced back at Jack, and walked briskly out of the cave toward the thatched hut where the crowd had gathered.

......

"Mr. Magician, what are you going to do?" the young man from the adventurer's camp asked in a low voice, watching Ron's movements.

"Well, I'm going to use magic to make some simple tools. Ron looked down at the most primitive raw materials and didn't look back, "By the way, I don't know what your name is." ”

"Caesar Rhys. The young man replied, "Mr. Magician—"

"My name is Ron, by the way, you'll go get some more wood, I'll be useful. Ron took a deep breath, and suddenly burst out a circle of blue electric light on his fingertips, he was not worried that he would suddenly use other magical abilities to expose something about himself, before on the ship, he had already explained that he was a dual magician of fire and thunder, and Lei Dun's ninjutsu, penetration and destructive power were quite strong, and it was naturally the best choice to cut these raw materials.

"Mr. Ron, there is no extra wood left in the camp. Caesar whispered.

"How is it possible without wood?" Ron was surprised, "Aren't there trees in front of you, even if you can't cut down trees, ordinary branches can always be collected, right?"

"The timber was taken and the campfire was lit. Caesar spread his hands: "Our leader's order, wood is a very important winter material, and it cannot be moved by others at will." ”

"Lit a bonfire?" Ron stood up directly from the ground, threw the stones in his hand to the ground, and looked at Caesar, Ron's eyes flashed with anger: "This kind of bonfire of yours can also be called a bonfire?"

Caesar looked at Ron's anger with a wandering gaze, not knowing how to reply.

"Why can't our campfires be called campfires?"

At this time, Brooks' voice sounded behind Ron, Ron quickly turned around, and found that the exiles who had gathered around Sylvie before had returned to their original positions, it seemed that this Brooks had a very high status in the exile camp, and he had a deep reputation.

"Isn't the leader of your adventurous party Jack, why are you meddling in our camp?"

"I don't mean to interfere with you, I just want to do what I can to help you. Ron said in a deep voice, "Winter is coming, and I don't think the people in this camp can survive this winter safely. ”

As if poking Brooks in the sore spot, the leader of the exile camp suddenly raised his voice: "How to survive the winter is our business here, and it has nothing to do with your adventure team." ”

Ron sighed secretly in his heart, this leader is obviously a little stubborn, the wounded in the camp, as well as the daily security work, are not done well at all, and he is so xenophobic, after all, he is an outsider, and he is not the principal of the adventurer team, he has noticed Jack behind Brooks, and the other members of the team who rushed over from a distance, Ron spread his hands, "I'm sorry, the first student, this time I offended, I promise that I have no ill will." If there is anything offended, please bear with me. ”

Seeing that Ron made a concession, this Brooks's face showed a satisfied smile: "Mr. Magician, we recognize your strength, but please answer me a question, you said before that our campfire has a problem, I want to ask, what is the problem." ”

"This campfire in the camp is too simple, although you have invested a lot of wood to ensure that the bonfire can burn smoothly, to prolong the burning time of the campfire, but the temperature of the campfire will drop quickly, you can surround the outside of the campfire with stones, and circle the bonfire from the inside, so that the bonfire can burn longer, and the charcoal left after the burning of these woods can also be used as fuel, don't waste it too much, just now I noticed that at the back of the camp, there is a lot of black charcoal left, these charcoal should not be wasted, this is all here, farewell。 ”

Ron looked at Sylvie, who was still a little stunned: "Sylvie, come with me." ”

Although Ron's words were more polite, he was actually quite dissatisfied in his heart, due to the limited time, Sylvie's rescue work had only just begun, and he was forced to end the treatment work after only treating two wounded people.

"It's okay, let's all spread out and go our own way. Brooks saw Ron back down, and beckoned the other exiles to disperse and return to their respective huts.

"Mr. Ron, I know you're kind, but don't make trouble at this time. The white wolf patted Ron on the shoulder and whispered.

"Hmph, be kind enough to help them, they just want to die by themselves. Sefera's hand rubbed against the hilt.

"That's not what these exiles intended. Ron let out a breath and lowered his voice, "I think this Brooks is a bit of a soil emperor here, as if the whole camp is afraid of him." ”

"Forget it, that's not something we should care about. The white wolf's gaze looked at Jack, "Mr. Jack, how are you talking with the leader of the exile camp?" ”

"The origin of this exile camp is not simple. Jack took a deep breath: "These people are all from Bosliga, and the reason why they were exiled here is also strange. The current island of Bosilica, the situation is more special, as we got the information before, the current king of Bosilika is choosing his heir, one is a prince, the other is a princess, but before that, Bosilika net also has a younger brother, this younger brother tried to seek the throne, but before the plan began, it was exposed, this brother was captured alive, put in a bag, thrown into the northern sea, fed alive sharks, and the people in the tribe where the king's brother lived, regardless of men, women and children, were all exiled here。 ”

"How many people are there? A tribe of people, all exiled? That's a lot of cruelty. The white wolf sighed: "Just convict all the children of the direct line, why do you want to involve so many people?"

"Hmph, this is the island's own business, and I don't want to ask so much. Jack continued: "The people of their tribe, more than three hundred in all, were all exiled, and they were exiled here in the spring of this year, and they have been exiled until now. ”

"No, more than 300 people, the number here is far from enough. ”

"There is no problem with the white wolf's previous conjecture, these zombie monsters we encountered outside the camp and on the beach were all turned into exiles from before. ”

All the crew members were stunned, although they had already guessed before, but now that they had this positive answer, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on, how did they become that kind of monster?" asked Sephira.

"I asked this question too, and this chief didn't know it either. Jack said in a deep voice: "In the beginning, their camp was not here, and these exiles also thought about going to the beach to fish, and by the way, looking for possible ships from the mainland, so that they could escape from the bitter sea. ”

"The northern seas of Bosliga are completely barren land devoid of human existence, and when they were exiled, they were left with no food or water, only the shabby linen clothes they wore when they were prisoners. ”

"In the summer, there were people who were already in poor health who contracted diseases, and there was no cure at all, and none of them knew about herbal medicine, so these people who could not be treated quickly fell ill and died. There was no cemetery or morgue here, so the bodies were dumped in the corners of the camp. ”

"But soon the nightmare came, these corpses suddenly moved at night, they did not drink water, they did not eat, they only came to attack the other exiles who were still alive, and these zombies were not afraid of pain, they suffered heavy losses, but finally with the help of the previous leader, they asked the zombie horde to set up a new camp here. ”

"Jack, I've made a guess before, so let's just guess again, is this former leader the zombie leader with a green fighting spirit that we killed on the beach earlier?" asked the white wolf.

"That's right, that's it, this leader is called Bruch, a powerful knight, but this Bruch should still have his own intelligence, after turning into a zombie, he didn't come back to attack this camp, otherwise, they can't resist it, we came all the way, it can be regarded as a favor for them, and killed all these zombies. Jack laughed.

"But what we are most concerned about, they don't disclose, they want to make a deal with us. Jack's words changed: "This Brooks seems to know a little about the whereabouts of Princess Bosliga, but they also want to leave this camp, about three days away from here, there is a tribe of Bosilica—a small settlement in the northernmost part, numbering about sixty people, Brooks wants to use our strength to seize this tribe, so that they can spend the winter, and he will also tell us the news." ”

"Is this man dreaming? Grab the tribe? It's too dangerous. The white wolf couldn't help but say: "Moreover, who knows if this Brooks is deceiving people, and it is unknown whether he has any news about the princess team, so let's make such a dangerous purchase? We can't do that. ”

"Yes, that's why I didn't talk to him. Jack said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about the authenticity of the news, and when attacking the tribe, we have to risk a lot of casualties, this is a regular and defended tribal camp, not this kind of improvised simple settlement, our opponent is not a zombie, but a human with intelligence and weapons." So I just turned down his request, but this Brooks, give us a night to think about it. Tonight, we can spend the night in the camp, and if we don't change our position in the end, he will open the south door of the camp and let us leave, which is the reward for killing these zombies. ”

"Hmph, that's a shabby reward. Sefera snorted disdainfully.

"Then let's make a simple statement, and those who agree to this deal can raise their hands. Jack said.

The crew's thoughts didn't differ much from Jack's, and none of them agreed to the action.

"Very well, then everyone thinks that we just need to spend the night here in peace, and then go on our own. Jack nodded: "From now on, we will try our best to move here, and don't mess with those people - Mr. Ron, I'm not talking about you, since the other party is not willing to accept our kindness, we don't have to go to the cold ass of the people, as long as we leave tonight, early tomorrow morning." ”

This small meeting ended quickly, and the expressions and discussions of the crew were somewhat disappointed, they thought that they would get some information and clues in this camp, but the truth was quite cruel, not only did they not make progress, but they couldn't even do the supply of supplies, and the people here couldn't take care of themselves, how could they provide them with supplies? Two crew members were unwilling, but when Ron took them to the place where Caesar had shown him to store drinking water, the crew members also went back in a huff.

"Sylvie, what's wrong with you?"

Ron noticed that after the previous incident was over, Sylvie's expression was a little lonely, this little slave maid never knew how to put her emotions away from her face, Ron sat down next to Sylvie, reached out and rubbed the girl's head: "Are you still thinking about those refugees?"

"Well, Lord Ron, they're so pathetic. Sylvie sighed lightly: "Do you know? I was just treating an aunt who was still holding a baby, because there was no nutrition, she didn't even have milk......" I want to talk about "Shadow of Exile" with more like-minded people, WeChat pay attention to "excellent reading literature", talk about life, and find a confidant~
