The two of them provided Li Mengxi and his party with a faster path that was not on the map, but it was a dangerous path through the monster habitat area. If you don't want to get out of the way, you have to keep your speed almost the same as walking.

Even so, the journey was drastically shortened, allowing everyone to arrive at Eden in the evening instead of noon the next day.

After the convoy restarted, Arreas also slowly told Barriet about the current situation of Isis's unconscious and the tragic situation of the village under the management of Palyusis for nearly half a month.

In the carriage, after hearing all this, Barrett's face inevitably showed sadness. She was worried about the hardships of the village, and even more worried about her father's condition.

"Don't worry, Barrett, aren't we here?" said Hinata comfortingly. The others nodded their heads.

Immediately, Xun Hui looked at Arreas and his partner.

"Barrett's father is still alive despite being unconscious, right?"

"Hmm. Arreas nodded.

"Well, maybe you can use magic to heal. ”

Xun Hui's words also reminded Barrett, and she immediately looked up at Naine Hinata expectantly and asked, "Is this true!"

"There are many kinds of magic to heal anomalies, but there will always be one that suits your father's condition. ”

"That ......" At this time, Jiang Ling also interjected slightly, "I still have some standing medical potions, I can also try them." ”

"It's wonderful. Barriet breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, everyone. ”

"Thank you. Barrett is also our partner. That's the right thing to do. ”

Hearing Hinata Nain's response, Jiang Ling on the side also nodded slightly.

"As for the water, Naine prepared it in advance. Xun Hui continued to talk about the next question, and glanced at the two of them as she spoke, "As for the food...... Do you mind worm meat and fox wolf meat?"

"Don't mind!" replied Arreas hurriedly, "We're all about to eat worms and gnaw raw fruit, so why are we picky eaters!"

"That's fine. In terms of water, Nain has prepared a large amount of water, and even a village of hundreds of people can last for several months. In terms of food, we will not be able to provide water in the same way, but we can at least alleviate the famine. In this way, it should be possible to establish a stable supply line. ”

"Moreover, when we can get the ice crystal chalcedony, the boss strategy should start soon. As long as Phoenix can be successfully defeated, it won't be long before the villagers' lives will return to normal. ”

Hinata also answered confidently.

In this way, it seems that all the problems have been solved. But just when Barrett was a little relieved, Emily poured a basin of cold water at an inopportune time.

"You're talking about the ideal scenario. She pointed to the two of them as she spoke, "Didn't they say that the power of the village is now in the hands of a ruthless man named Paliusis. If we had woken up the village chief and solved the crisis in the village, he would have no reason to take power. So, it's inevitable that guy will try to get in our way. What are you going to do then?"

"No!" Barriet retorted at once, in her impression that the people of her hometown were good people, "Uncle Paliusis is a little stricter, but he still thinks about the village, how can he hinder us for the sake of power!"

In the face of Barrett's question, Arreas and the two bowed their heads in silence, which made Barriet feel incredible and deeply uneasy. But there is no way, Paliusis has been in power for half a month, and the villagers as a whole have a sense of distrust of him.

The fact that Paliusis deliberately did not allow the village to be saved in order to maintain his rights was not impossible in the eyes of the two of Arreas, nay, I am afraid that in the eyes of the villagers as a whole.

"How so? This kind of thing, it's impossible, right?" Unable to get the answer she wanted, Barriet turned her gaze to Hinata and the others again.

However, what could they defend if they didn't know much about the captain of the Palyusian guard? and, judging from what the two of them had just said, that guy did look like a complete villain.

"Why don't you all reply, Uncle Paliusis, he's going to do that...... How is that possible? Not possible. At a time when no one would answer her, Barriet could only seek comfort from within, but she was stunned to find that even she was beginning to waver.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it then. With a simple axe, there will be no problems. Emily said nonchalantly. She may have wanted to reassure Barrett, but it actually made the atmosphere in the carriage even heavier. As a result, she herself closed her mouth rather embarrassed.

For the next few hours of the journey, the carriage was lifeless.

......

At dusk, there was silence in Ayilaide's house. Almost all of the hunters who had set out in the morning returned unharmed, except for two missing men, his son Arreas and his companion boy.

It is likely that the two of them will not be able to return at the specified time because they have explored too far, or they may not be able to come back at all.

Therefore, in the living room, the husband and wife will each occupy a corner of the square table and sit with their backs to each other. This is not the usual couple fight, and if something really happened to their son, the family might cease to exist.

Both of them were afraid to touch each other's sensitive nerves with their words, so they simply did not speak, choosing to remain silent.

After a long time, the door was slammed down.

"Bang bang bang!" the loud sound of the big decibel made Ayilaide even more upset, and he hurriedly got up and pulled the door open.

Standing at the door turned out to be a hunter from his hunting party, who seemed to have run far away in one breath and was out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Ayilid asked.

"Back, back. ”

"Are they back?" asked Ayilaid, hurryingly. Hearing this, Mrs. Ayilid also got up and ran over.

However, the messenger hunter gave up and swallowed his spit.

"Isn't it?" said Ayilid and his wife's mood hit rock bottom again.

"No, it's not just that, it's ......," said the hunter, gasping again.

"Oh! what else!" Ayilaide's tone couldn't help but be stern.

"What are you anxious about!" Lady Ayilid reprimanded in the back, "don't worry, take your breath and speak slowly, and speak well." ”

"And, Barrett, Miss, she's back too!"

As soon as the hunter's words fell, Ayilid pressed his hands on his shoulders.

"Where!"

"South, the south entrance of the village. ”

Before the hunter could finish his sentence, Ayilid and his wife rushed out of the door.

At this time, not only their family, but all the villagers who got the news came out of their homes one after another and flocked to the south of the village in a long river.

Ayilid and his wife followed the flow of people and moved little by little to the entrance of the village, and at a glance they saw their son Arreas, followed by Barrett. As for Li Mengxi and the others behind them, although they were also reflected in their eyes, they were perfectly ignored.

"Lord Ayilaide is here!" shouted someone from the crowd. Immediately, the eyes of the villagers searched and fell on the Ayilaide couple, and then they consciously moved out of the way.

In the past half month, he is the only person who often argues with Palyusis face-to-face for the sake of the villagers' living standards, and although he has been defeated every time, he has invisibly increased his prestige in the hearts of the villagers.

And since everyone admired their faces, Ayilid didn't shirk, and while saying "thank you", he and his wife hurried to Arreas's side.

"Son!" he cried out excitedly and hugged him.

"Daddy!" Arreas hugged his father in response, but he didn't understand in his heart, "I said, why are you so enthusiastic today?"

"Nonsense!" pulled his son in front of him, Ayilid scolded with a smile, "You haven't arrived after the meeting time, and your mother and I still think something happened to you!"

"No! no!" replied Ayilaide grinningly, "we just ran into Barrett, and they were a little delayed. ”

Hearing Barrett's name, Ayilid stopped paying attention to her son, letting go of him and looking at the girl who had disappeared for half a moon.

"Long time no see, Uncle Aylaide. Barriet immediately smiled sheepishly. Come to think of it, she should have worried everyone when she ran away from home at that time.

"Well, what about my mother?" said Barrett, looking around.

"Barrett, your father can't do without people right now, and she may not be able to leave for a while. ”

At the mention of her father's condition, Barriet immediately shed a deep sadness.

Seeing this, Ayilid immediately changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, who are these people?"

"Oh, they've accepted my commission to help our nobles!"

"Aristocrat!" After exclaiming, Ayilid looked at Li Mengxi, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. The nobles with great power came to their village, and it was like a divine help!

Just as he was about to praise Barrett, a loud shout rang out in the distance.

"Let's go!"

It was the voice of the guards, so the people reflexively and fearfully fled to the sides.

The figure of Palyusis appeared in front of everyone, and with a serious expression, he walked towards Baritte as he stepped towards Baritra under the arch of several guards.

Watching him take every step he took, the tension in Barrett's heart increased by a point. She couldn't figure out how this man, who had always called "uncle", would treat her people.

Not only Barrett, but everyone is the same.

In the midst of a tense situation, Paliusis finally stood in front of Barrett.

"You're finally back, Barrett. ”

"Hmm!" Barrett, admonishing herself not to show weakness, did her best to deal with it as best she could, "you've worked hard these days to help manage the village, Uncle Paliusis. ”

"Next, that's your hard work. Still speaking solemnly, Paliusis bent down slightly, admitting that Barrett was the one who was really suitable for the village chief's agency.

For Paleusis it was a matter of course for him to follow the rules, as he had intended from the beginning.

But in the eyes of the villagers, this was a victory to end the tyranny of Paliusis. They cheered uncontrollably.

Palyusis straightened up and listened to the cries of the villagers, not believing that this was a show of power against him. In his opinion, Barrett's return is indeed something to cheer about.

But he did not notice that the guards behind him, including his son Rausis, were dissatisfied with the reaction of the population.

At this moment, the dissatisfaction will gradually become the norm, and eventually the fear of the villagers will be fed back to Palyusis himself
