Chapter Ninety-Nine, Experiences in the North

It was another morning, Panda and Sanyu were walking on the road, and it didn't take long for them to see a village.

This village is no different from other villages in the north, the same dilapidated, the same few residents, but whether it is Panda or Sanyu, they all feel that this village is a little different from others.

They stopped, looked at it for a while, and finally discovered the problem.

At the gate of this village, I didn't see the "hanging man tree".

The "Hanging Man Tree" is a very common sight, and many villages in the Tarakhan area, especially those that are more dilapidated, have such a tree. The lord hangs the executed man from a tree as a warning to other civilians not to violate the lord's law.

But there is no one at the entrance of this village.

Could it be ...... The lord of this village is very kind, don't do this?

Sanyu didn't care much, but the panda was a little curious, and couldn't help but walk to the village and ask over.

When he reached the entrance of the village, he stopped, frowned, and looked at a large tree that was a little crooked not far away.

From that tree, there was a clear stench of corpses.

The panda man is also an orc, the sense of smell of the orcs is very keen, and the smell of the corpse itself is a rather strong smell, even if there is a star and a half, he can smell it after ten days and half a month.

He walked over to the tree, and sure enough, he saw that there were traces of rope on the branches.

There is no doubt that this tree is the "hanging tree" of this village. It's just that I don't know why, the corpses from the trees were taken away, and even the ropes were untied.

He thought about it, went into the village, found a farmer who was working in a vegetable field, and asked him about it.

Hearing him ask about the "hanging man tree", the farmer, who originally seemed to be quite clever, suddenly showed some confusion and a dazed expression, and replied: "I don't know what's going on, anyway, when I got up one morning, I saw that all the people hanging from the tree were gone." You're not the first person to ask...... But I really don't know!"

The panda nodded, didn't ask any more, and turned to leave.

The farmer watched him and Sanyu walk away, threw down his wooden hoe, and hurried to a hut on the edge of the village.

A moment later, a branch broke off from a tree on the edge of the village.

The branch was not noticeably broken, but if you look closely, you can see it from a distance. And if someone runs closer to look, they will find that the broken part of the branch has long since dried up, and it is clear that it has been broken a long time ago, but it has been tied with a rope.

Panda and Sanyu didn't notice this, they didn't pay special attention, who could find that a branch was missing from a certain tree?

In the evening of the same day, Panda and Sanyu came to another village.

This village is as dilapidated as the previous one, and there are only traces on the "hanging tree" at the door, and there are no corpses.

Of course, there could be no hotel in this kind of village, so they approached the village chief, rented a straw barn from the village chief, and asked about the "hanging man tree" by the way.

The village chief's answer was no different from the farmer before, and even his words were very similar, probably the two things happened together.

That night, while they were resting, they heard a knock at the door.

"Who?" asked the panda casually.

"Me. It was the voice of the tiger that answered him.

The two were taken aback, opened the door, and sure enough, they saw the tiger at the door, still holding the skinny little girl in his hand.

Looking at the little girl, the panda's eyes widened: "She...... Isn't she dead?"

In the cafeteria of the castle before, the black dragon seed girl's spit was extraordinary, and the traversers were all injured, not to mention this ordinary little girl, who died on the spot. At that time, everyone was worried that the tiger would be furious and make a fuss, but he left without saying a word, taking the little girl's body with him.

The panda could swear by his head that the little girl was definitely dead!

What's going on?

Seeing his surprised expression, the tiger said calmly: "Death and resurrection are not as difficult as you think. Of course, if I want to resurrect people with my means, it is nothing more than those methods. But it doesn't matter, she can eat and drink, she can talk and walk, she has feelings, thoughts, joys and sorrows, and the only drawback is that she may not be able to grow up anymore - this may or may not be an advantage in the eyes of those lolitas...... Anyway, I think this can be considered alive, right?"

The panda's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Soul corpse?"

"Why do you think she's the kind of rotting thing that stenges of corpses?" the tiger looked down at the little girl who was a little uneasy, touched her head, comforted her, and said, "If you are interested, you can come over and smell it, she definitely does not smell like that." ”

"Even if it's not rotten or smelly, it's still undead. Panda furrowed his eyebrows, "This kind of thing is not what a decent person should do. ”

"It's like there's no undead in our guild, I'm a vampire myself, so what? As for decency or something, I've already been charged with a lot of crimes, and I don't care about any more of them. The tiger said nonchalantly, "Are you coming all the way to me to embarrass this poor little girl?, or are you planning to switch from the Church of the Suffering to the Church of the Dead and purify the undead?"

The panda furrowed his eyebrows for a moment, but finally stopped dwelling on the question, took a few steps back, and let him and the little girl enter the door.

"If it's convenient, can you tell me how did you know that we were looking for you?" Sanyu asked, "We didn't tell anyone about this, and even if anyone guessed, they shouldn't be able to know our whereabouts." ”

Tiger shook his head: "Everyone has their own secrets, I'm sorry, I can't answer this question." ”

"Then let's talk about something that can be answered, you took down the corpses from the hanging trees at the entrance of these villages?"

"That's right, the dead are gone, whether they were guilty or not guilty in life, since they are dead, it is over. Even if he wants to continue to punish, he should attack his soul, and he should not trouble the corpse again. ”

The panda looked at the little girl who was still being held by him, and felt that this was really unconvincing.

Sanyu didn't care about this, and asked again: "Why did you go to the castle to make trouble like that before?"

"Of course, in order to criticize Sleepless, they took the opportunity of 'administration' to seize the power that should belong to everyone. ”

Sanyu sighed and said sincerely: "There are only three of us here, Panda and I are not people with long tongues, no matter what you say, we will rot in our hearts, and we will never say it - you can't say something real?"

"I promise, no matter what you say today, I won't tell anyone. The panda also spoke.

The tiger looked at them for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "What do you think is the biggest problem we have now?"

"Thrace coming in a few years?" asked the panda.

The tiger shook his head.

"The contradictions that gradually arise between the traversers?" asked Sanyu.

The tiger shook his head as well.

"What is that?"

"It's inertia. The tiger replied, "Inertia is breeding and spreading among most of the traversers. ”

"Inert?" Sanyu asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"Do you think that our group of people is capable?"

Panda nodded: "Of course, our race is strong, our profession is strong, we can quickly improve our level and skills through experience points, and we can be resurrected when we die...... We don't have the ability, and I'm afraid there are no people in the world who are capable. ”

However, a group of capable people got together, and for more than a year, most of them gradually became squatting at home. Don't you think this is weird?" said the tiger, "and in my opinion, the crux of the matter is that we are so capable that if you do a little bit in the guild, you can keep everyone living in a stable lifeβ€”especially since we have the castle, which is still absorbing magic and slowly recovering, and the living conditions are getting better and better." Therefore, the characters who could have relied on their ability to break through the world shrank in the castle one by one and became rice worms with peace of mind...... Don't you think that's sad?"

"Where is it sad to be a rice worm with peace of mind?" Sanyu asked rhetorically, "Before the crossing, more than half of us were otaku and otaku, and the rest of the time was no different from rice worms except for work." Now life is nothing more than less Internet than it was at the beginning, where is it sad?"

The tiger smiled, didn't say anything more, just took the little girl's hand and walked towards the door.

When he walked out of the barn gate, he suddenly said, "I'll tell you two things. ”

"What two things?"

"First of all, I found out the whereabouts of the barbarian bandits who attacked many pioneer villages and slaughtered a large number of civilians. They were not barbarians from the neighborhood, but had migrated from other places. According to their own words, they were inspired by the forest to help their compatriots take revenge. They were very high-spirited, and after taking revenge, they left, and they didn't want anything good. The tiger smiled and said, "Because I'm stupid, justice is a little late." Interestingly, I found some magical items with demonic powers in their leader's house, and on those magical items, there were marks of two snakes wrapped around the serrated sword. There are quite a few of them, they look quite old, and they have probably been used for many years. ”

Panda and Sanyu both frowned, understanding what he meant. Sanyu immediately asked: "Are they the same group as the one who destroyed the old Luoka family at the beginning?"

The tiger did not answer, but continued: "The second thing, when I rushed into the Viscount's house with me and dragged him and a few knights out to try the peasants who were finally executed, their templates have turned from white to green. ”

Panda and Sanyu were even more surprised, and wanted to ask, but they saw a thick fog, and there was no trace of the two at the door of the grass barn.

A moment later, in a cemetery near another village, a thick fog rose and the tiger took the little girl's hand and was visible.

He closed his eyes and opened the chat channel.

[Tiger: Your method is indeed very useful, thank you. I will seriously consider your suggestion. 】
