Without warning at all, one second Vivien was still holding her right hand on the carriage and her right leg straddled the carriage and climbed upward, and the next second she completely lost her strength and collapsed to the ground like a corpse, without a sound.

When Vivien suddenly fell to the ground, Catherine was stunned without any mental preparation, and after a second of stunned, a confused brain realized what was happening, and in a hurry, even her professional skills were used, and a support charge appeared beside Vivian. Although Catherine's speed was fast enough, Pannis was faster than her, and when Vivien fell to the ground, Pannis did not be stunned, but appeared directly beside Vivian as quickly as possible, leaned down to test her snort for the first time, and then reached out to press the blood vessels above Vivian's collarbone. The moment his hand touched Vivian's collarbone, Pannis's face changed, and he looked at Vivien from head to toe in disbelief, before he looked up and said to Catherine, who was hedged over: "It's okay, life is normal." However, her ......"

"Stop. Catherine waved her hand to stop Pannisy from continuing, "Just know for yourself, don't mention what you found." ”

"Okay. Pannis nodded, reached out and opened Vivien's eyelids to look, "Strange, nothing unusual was found." ”

"Don't worry. Lina jumped out of the car with a solemn expression, half-knelt beside Vivian, and held Vivian's hand: "It'll be fine in a while." ”

"Not the first time?" asked Pannis, surprised.

"Yes, it's not. Catherine stood aside and replied for Lina, "This is ...... It's the fourth or fifth time. ”

"Big sister. Lina looked up, and there seemed to be water in her eyes: "It's more frequent than before." ”

Catherine wordlessly pressed Lina's shoulder and squeezed it heavily.

"Senior sister, Vivian, she's okay. Dora, who didn't understand what was going on, also came over and looked down at Vivien, whose eyes were closed: "Did she faint?"

"It's okay, it'll be fine soon. Catherine reluctantly smiled at Dora: "It won't delay things." ”

Dora opened her mouth and was about to say something, when Vivien on the ground suddenly opened her eyes.

"Wow, isn't it that serious? Vivien winked mischievously: "You don't have to gather around, it looks like looking at the corpse." ”

"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll kill you. Lina hid the uneasiness on her face, reached out and slapped the soft hat on Vivien's head a few times: "Hurry up when you wake up, delay everyone's time." ”

"It's ruthless. Vivien pouted and got up, dusted off the dead leaves that stuck to her body, and slowly climbed into the carriage, but this time there were no accidents. Pannis and Catherine glanced at each other, hid their doubts in their hearts, and climbed to the position of Mitsude and Deputy Mitsuri together.

"Let's go, let's go and help the mercenaries collect the corpses first. The whip sounded, and the carriage, which had been standing for a long time, moved forward again, and the rolling wheels crushed the dead leaves on the ground and disappeared among the bushes.

――――――――――――――――

Spindle Village is the largest village in the border area of the Federal Forest of Neville, with a permanent population of nearly 600, and if you count the adventurers and mercenaries who travel to and from the Flash Forest, the population can even exceed 1,000 in many cases.

The village of Spindle is not known for its textiles, as it is named after its close to a spindle. Among the inhabitants of the village, with the exception of some who run shops dedicated to adventurers and mercenaries, most of the rest of the villagers work in the same job - hunters.

In non-Warcraft infestation times, the Flash Forest is like a treasure trove of endless riches and endless food. The animals and herbs on the outskirts of the forest can meet the needs of all the surrounding villagers, who can live very rich by hunting and collecting medicines. The only pity is the invasion of monsters, every late autumn, in order to store food for the winter, the monsters often go around hunting for food, bringing endless troubles to the surrounding villages.

Facing the westerly sun, a high-speed carriage rushed out of the edge of the forest and headed for Spindle Village.

"Wow, this is Spindle Village. Lina sat in the carriage and looked at the village in the distance in surprise: "It's completely different from what I imagined. ”

Indeed, the villages on the border of the forest are special and very different from the villages in other regions. The village is not surrounded by farmland, or there is no large area of farmland around the village, but is surrounded by a thick wooden wall. Located on the periphery of the forest, there is no need to worry about the problem of wood, and it is related to its own safety, so the wooden wall is built extremely tall and strong, and every piece of wood used to build the wooden wall has been processed through a rather cumbersome process, and the waterproof and fireproof properties are amazing. In the face of such a wall, in the case of the people in the village being prepared, except for some giant high-level demonic beasts or flying demonic beasts, the rest of the ordinary demonic beasts cannot pose much threat at all, and every year in late autumn, the mercenaries will rely on such a wall to kill a large number of demonic beasts under the wooden wall.

The carriage passed through the forest and re-entered the regular road outside the village, getting closer and closer to Spindle Village. The mercenaries guarding the wooden wall saw the carriage approaching and slowly opened the gate. The wooden-walled gate of the border village is interesting, after entering the gate, there is a square passage with a length and width of ten meters, and the two sides of the passage are wooden walls of the same texture, and at the end of the passage is a second gate. Whenever the demon beast invades the season, the inner and outer gates of any village must be kept closed, and the guards are responsible for opening them when someone needs to enter or exit, but the inner and outer doors are never allowed to be opened at the same time, at least one of them must be closed.

With the sound of "squeak, squeak", the heavy gate outside the village, which required the joint efforts of two professionals, was slowly closed, and Dora jumped out of the carriage without waiting for the carriage to stop, and said loudly: "Saker, gray fox, white bear, thorny wolf, what mistake have you made again? ”

"Ha, Sister Rose, you're finally here, brothers have been waiting for a long time. A young mercenary with short hair standing up like a hedgehog came over with a smile: "We lost playing cards, we guarded the door for a day today, did the eldest sister bring us any gifts?"

"Gifts?" Dora sneered: "I'll give it when I come back alive this time, and those who can come back alive will have gifts." ”

"Well, based on your words, the brothers will definitely come back alive this time. ”

"Less nonsense. Dora pointed to the carriage: "Saker, gray fox, you two continue to guard the door, white bear, you come here, and unload the things on the carriage with the thorny wolf." ”

"What's it, big sister. "The bear-clan mercenary White Bear, who was stout and tall and covered with thick white hair, ran from afar, and the ground trembled with every step of his mountain-like body.

"The corpses, the swans, the whistles, the, and the bodies of the other five brothers. Dora said solemnly, "Did we fight in the morning? When we passed through the edge of the forest, we happened to encounter eight dinosaurs, and we also avenged our brothers." The wolf, the and the whistle are all your good brothers, so you should spend a little more effort and find a place to bury all eight brothers. ”

"Thank you, big sister. "The thorn wolf did not feel sad because he heard Dora mention the death of his friend again, as a mercenary with a higher mortality rate than an adventurer, especially for mid- and low-level mercenaries, facing the death of teammates and colleagues is as accustomed as breathing and eating, today he sends his friends away, tomorrow it may be his friends who send him away, everyone has already exercised numbness, and these things can be laughed at with a smile, maybe only in a midnight dream, will fade the numb shell and shed sad tears.

"Let's go find a place to stay. Dora beckoned to the four members of the adventure group standing aside: "They will send your luggage over, do you have any special requirements?"

"Just be quiet. Catherine thought for a moment and said, "Vivien's preparation of spell casting materials and Lina's daily prayers need a slightly quieter environment, and the rest doesn't matter. ”

As he spoke, the inner door of the outer wall slowly opened, and the five of them walked into the Spindle Village empty-handed.

As soon as you enter the village, you can see a variety of buildings scattered around. The village architecture on the border of the forest has its own characteristics, and if it can be summed up in one word, it is sturdy. Although all the buildings are made of wood, each building is made of wood to make it absolutely sturdy. The walls of each building, the core part of the two layers of thick planks, between the two layers of wooden planks filled with a large amount of cotton wool and compacted, the two sides of the planks are fixed one after another from the middle of the thick logs, each log is tightly attached to the air tightly, from a distance, the walls of each building are like a row of thick tree trunks close together, so that the house becomes extremely strong, enough to defend against most of the monsters. If a person lives in such a house, even if the outer wall of the village is breached, he can hold on to the house for a long time.

"Such a building......" Catherine, after all, was the first time to come to the village on the border of the forest, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she groaned for a while, and asked strangely, "Aren't you afraid that someone will set it on fire?"

"I'm not afraid. "The foresters have their own technology, and the wood used for construction will be soaked for a long time with a special liquid, and the soaked wood can be fireproof to a certain extent, and the temperature of an ordinary flame is simply not enough to ignite such wood, and only when the temperature is high enough will a house burn." If measured by magic, only the Fireblast spell cast by a Silver Mage or the fireball cast by a Gold Mage or above can ignite such a house, and this is still based on the fact that no one is watering the fire. ”

"I see. Catherine nodded: "Such a building is indeed sturdy. ”

"It's wisdom forced out by the pressure of survival. Dora, who was leading the way, stopped: "Here, you can stay here today, and I will come to you tomorrow evening, and then we will meet together, and we can understand each other." By the way, I'll find a good guide, the best guide, don't worry. ”
