Watching the tiger take the little girl away through the thick fog, the panda and Sanyu did not chase after them, but meditated silently in the grass barn.

After a while, Panda said, "His mental state is really a bit of a problem. ”

"I don't think so. Sanyu shook his head, "I was thinking about another issue just now - the two of us came here quietly and didn't tell the others in the guild, even if it was the harmony that took over my temporary management of the guild crystal, I only knew that I was in a bad mood and went out for a walk." Tiger, how did he know about our whereabouts?"

He didn't say it. ”

"yes, but ...... I vaguely guessed. Sanyu said, "If my guess is correct, then he is much more powerful than we thought." ”

“...... Don't play dumb riddles, okay!"

Sanyu smiled and said, "We came all the way, passed through some villages, passed by one in the morning, and now we are staying in the same one." In these two villages, it is likely that someone is tipping off him, so he can know our whereabouts. ”

Panda nodded: "You're right, this is the greatest possibility." ”

"Then here's the problem, he's grown to the point where he can get civilians to report to him because of suspicious people, and his influence in the North is far beyond our expectations. Sanyu's face was solemn, "I have discussed it with Sleepless before, and I think he is a reckless person, impetuous, but also very stubborn, and he really can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes." With his character and personality, even if he came to the North, he would at best kill people indiscriminately - and now it seems that we underestimated him. ”

"Everybody grows. Panda said, "What's more, going down to the grassroots level is the most tempering person." When I applied for the job after graduation, the company first arranged for our group of people to go to the grassroots level and work with those grassroots maintenance outlets, customer service personnel and shopping mall salesmen to experience their lives. After three months, they are selected from among the top performers – even if they are network engineers. ”

"Oh?

"It's pretty good, most of the people who stayed in the end were willing to do things, could be considerate of people, and could get along with colleagues. I think that if a company is full of such people, even if it can't soar, at least it's okay to move forward steadily - I've been working for almost two years, and the company has always been in good shape. ”

Sanyu thought for a while and said, "Your statement is very reasonable, it is true that we ourselves take it for granted. Those in the guild who have gone down to the grassroots level during this time, their progress is also obvious. ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What do you think of what the tiger said just now, about 'inertia'?"

"That's true, but I don't support it. "I don't like the idea that because you have a certain ability, you have to go to the corresponding position." Man is not a machine, and there is no reason why he has to do something. If you are willing to go out to do things, and if you want to explore the rivers and lakes, you can go by yourself. But for those who don't want to go out, I think their choice should also be respected. ”

Sanyu was silent for a long time and said, "Actually, we have been worrying about one thing. According to the plot of the game, there will be a dragon of doom in the future who wants to destroy the entire world. What if we don't be able to grow up enough and can't beat it?"

The panda was stunned for a moment and smiled: "You think too much! The dragon of doom wants to destroy the world, so naturally there are all kinds of bigwigs who come forward to besiege him, and there will be no shortage of manpower at that time." ”

Sanyu still shook his head, silent.

The next morning, they did not leave the village in a hurry, but went to the fortified wooden house at the back of the village to visit the owner of the village, a middle-aged knight.

"We are adventurers, and on the way we heard that there is some business to be done in the North. Sanyu said, "So ......"

"You're mistaken. The knight interrupted, "There have been some troubles in the North, but it's long over. You're too late, and you've run out of business for a long time. ”

Sanyu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But ...... I've heard that the North has been recruiting Trail Blazers......"

"If we don't recruit anymore, we have no plans to develop in the next few years. The knight interrupted him again, "Not only do I not recruit here, but other lords probably won't recruit either. We've had enough of it over the years. Now I just want to live in peace, educate my children to become talents, run this village well, and pass it on to him steadily, and I don't want to ask anything else. ”

He obviously didn't want to say more, so he immediately sent the guests away, almost half-sent and half-hurried, and sent Sanyu and Panda out of the door.

As soon as the two of them went out, the heavy door slammed shut, and he could be heard reprimanding the butler faintly from the door: "In the future, whether it is an adventurer or another knight...... In short, just refuse directly! We don't cause trouble, we don't cause anything!"

The two were silent for a while, and the panda said, "He's scared." ”

"Yes, he was probably frightened by the tiger. Sanyu said, "In the past year or so, one viscount and six knights have died in the north, and a pioneer team has been wiped out...... These lords of the northern realm are afraid that they have been frightened. ”

"Didn't they say that most of the lords of the Northern Realm were fierce and barbaric, or arrogant and domineering, and it was difficult to negotiate?"

"The Earl must speak of rules when negotiating with them, and since they speak of rules, of course they are not afraid. Sanyu said thoughtfully, "But when they met the tiger, who spoke with a knife, they were immediately pierced through the fierce mask and revealed their weak inner ...... Even if it can eat people, paper tigers can't fight real tigers after all. ”

"Do you want to go to other territories?" Panda asked.

Sanyu nodded: "It's rare to go out, let's take a walk and take a look." ”

Then they walked to several more villages, and what they saw and heard was not very different from this one.

The peasants were obviously a little wary and unwelcoming of their attitude, and the lords, needless to say, said one by one, "We have nothing to do here, and we have no news to inquire about, and we don't plan to do anything in the future."

Sanyu now frowns almost all day long, thinking silently.

The panda was quite happy - he found that the farmers in the north were doing well, and many of them were wearing new clothes, although the materials were very poor, the workmanship was very crude, and even a little torn, but at least they were not unclothed. And they secretly went into the peasants' houses several times to investigate, and found that they had a lot of food in stock, although it was also very shoddy, but at least it was not hungry.

"The living conditions of the people in the north are not so bad. One day when he was resting, he said with a smile.

Sanyu shook his head: "Don't you see it yet? Their clothes are new, and the food in the rice jar is not the normal production of the Northland at all, but the crops of other places." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Panda.

Sanyu sighed and didn't say anything.

They also went to the village where the tiger took the commoners to kill the lord, and when they went, the villagers were farming, and the panda tried to greet a few people, asked their names, to see their templates, and as the tiger said, the templates of these villagers have changed from white to green, from ordinary people with no cultivation value, to talents with small potential and worth cultivating.

The two were going to go a little further, but at this moment, an accident interrupted their journey.

True Remnants, Yunelo, and others, who have been operating in the Federation, report that the Kingdom of Thrace has declared war on the Federation, and the army is approaching the border pass of the Federation.

"Let's go!" Sanyu said, "We have to go back, we can't be absent from this war between Thrace and the Federation." ”

The panda nodded, and according to the predetermined plan, they were going to organize the Volunteers to help the Federation fight against Thrace.

Whether it is from the perspective of the death of the lips or the weakening of the enemy to strengthen themselves, this is the only choice for the traversers.
