"Oh yes, I didn't expect there to be a human brain navigator!" Stannis raised his hand and cheered, this dragon used to be able to open a golden finger casually, and it looked like it would have to fight the autumn wind more in the future.

The dragon seemed to think the same way, and it looked serious for a long time and said, "And next time you come back, bring more roast lamb, and remember to put some cinnamon." ”

This dragon is quite good at eating, but Stannis directly agreed, "Of course it's okay, Brother Dragon!"

With the map in his mind given by the dragon, Stannis finally got rid of the situation of road idiot, drove the carriage back to the territory, and did not encounter the parasitic wolves he encountered along the way, and returned to the territory smoothly.

When he returned to the castle, he noticed that the way his trio looked at him had changed, and the three of them looked at him with the same eyes as they looked at the pork on the board, which made the lord's heart furious.

"Yes...... Is there a problem?" Stannis asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva and uneasy.

Lady Romon reached into his coat pocket and rummaged through it, eventually pulling out a crumpled piece of paper.

"Your Excellency, there is an important matter that needs to be dealt with urgently!"

"What!" Stannis breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not an emergency like someone knocking on the door, you can just handle the ordinary daily affairs yourself." ”

But the three of them still stared at him, and did not giggle as usual.

Korodov pressed his hand on his shoulder, and Maester Romon walked up to him, "This matter is extremely important, because the consequences may be more serious than all of us think!"

A drop of sweat dripped down Stannis's head, perhaps on his own, and he had always felt that the three guys had been a little weird since he came back.

"If it's really serious, then let's go and deal with it, it's just what the hell is going on!"

The three of them didn't answer, Korodov mentioned him and threw him on his horse, and then a group of NPCs poured out from all sides as if they were already ready, and in an instant formed an adventurous party, and Stannis was caught in the middle of them, walking towards the forest.

"What the hell is the matter, it takes such a big show!" Stannis grumbled loudly, and since entering the forest, the gang had remained silent, with the occasional hoarse cry of crows coming from afar.

Kanye and Bates Moore don't talk about it, anyway, one is a stuffy gourd and the other is a money maniac, but Robert, who has always been very noisy, seems unusually quiet today.

Stannis didn't like the situation, and he began to wonder if the gang was trying to take him to a deserted place and slaughter him secretly.

In the end, it was Lady Romon who spoke first, "Your Excellency, do you remember the last time you asked me to do a census?"

Stannis, of course, remembered that it was the day after he issued the immigration law, and he couldn't wait to know the effect, so he forced Bachelor Romon to count whether the population had increased, but the result was that not only did it not increase, but one household disappeared overnight, which devastated him.

"Of course I remember!" he said angrily, "and there was another family that moved out overnight, and I should have issued a warrant for their arrest." But it's strange to say, even if you have to leave, why don't you bring anything?"

Robert replied, "Boss, you don't have to hunt them down, we've already found where they are." ”

"Oh, that's great, I'll be fine as long as they move back, but the fine......" Stannis said to himself, completely unaware of the uneasiness hidden in the other man's expression.

"Hey, here!" Stannis suddenly heard the voice of Jebertai in the distance, who was standing on a rock and shouting at them, it seemed that he had been here for a long time.

"What's going on?" Stannis was curious.

No one answered him, they just walked silently in the direction where Jebertai stood.

Before he could walk in, the lord smelled a foul smell coming over his face, like the smell of rotting meat.

Zhebotai jumped off the stone, his expression full of joy, "Oh, you're finally here, I've been here for one night, and my soul is almost scared to see the Immortal Heaven." ”

"Is the night in the Black Forest so horrible?" Stannis didn't expect that the fellow Oriental, this guy was as timid as himself.

Zhebotai was choked by his words, he carefully looked at the group of people who came, only the lord's face was relaxed, and he instantly understood, he pointed to Stannis and asked the others, "He doesn't know yet?"

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Stannis felt like he was being played like a monkey.

Zhe Botai cautiously suggested: "Then don't you talk to him, lest the noble lord can't accept it for a while?"

"What are you guys doing, it's like playing a dumb riddle, and I'm really angry!" Stannis shouted.

"It all started yesterday afternoon," said Maester Romon at last, "we received a message from the village below that two hunters had accidentally entered the depths of the forest while hunting their prey in the forest, and found the family who had disappeared last time behind a rock. ”

Stannis began to have a bad premonition.

"The family was one of the few families who lived on the east bank of the river, a parent and a child living alone, away from the crowd, so when they disappeared, we thought they had moved away. ”

The lord nodded, and so far, the situation was quite normal.

"But if they had moved, they would have taken with them a few pieces of clothing and belongings, no matter how hasty they were, but they were in the house in good condition, and the pot was still hot with food for the next day. ”

Hearing him say this, Stannis also felt strange.

"And then?"

"And then......" said Master Romon no more, and Robert took over, "they are now behind that stone, and they are all dead." ”

A sense of powerless despair spread throughout Stennis's body, and the sky that had been sunny a moment ago instantly enveloped countless dark clouds, and the surroundings became extremely dark.

The beautiful and interesting fairy tale life has been ruthlessly punctured, and the burlesque is time to end, and from now on he will truly touch the darkest side of the world.

"Dead?" he asked, trembling, if not mistaken, it was the first time he had touched a murder beneath his territory since he had crossed.

"We didn't tell you before because we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to stand this blow, because we haven't even seen this way of death. Maester Romon gently soothed his emotions, thinking about the younger ones like a kind elder.

Stannis's mind went blank. "How did you die?"

"Split the bodies, all four. ”
