The village was so silent late at night, and the people were already resting at this time.

Villages are not as good as towns and do not have as many recreational activities, not to mention that because of the perennial snowfall, the villagers prefer to burrow into the warm bedding early.

In an ordinary house, the sound of chopping meat was heard, and it was so obvious in this silent night...... But for some reason, none of the villagers heard it, and they still fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for the voice to stop.

The room was pitch black, and through the bright moonlight, you could see a family of three lying on the bed...... However, the only disobedience was that the mother's head was missing.

......

It's the end of October, and it's been the third week since I've stepped into the kingdom of Anstaro, and the rest of the continent of Iosia has basically entered late autumn, but Anstaro is always a harsh winter.

Due to the influence of the geographical environment, the tracks of the magic train can be said to be all over the place, even a small village will have a train stop sign, but Galusis and the others still ride chocobos to hurry, not take the magic train.

As for the reason......

"Dragon knight Yin Zhiping, there seems to be something ahead, you go out and investigate. Garusis commanded as he looked at the beasts that were looming in the snow.

"Xiao Yin, the tent for sleeping in the open helped us set up, and we will sleep here today. Loren said, pointing to the tent on the ground.

The nightingale pointed to the hot water in the pot that was about to bottom out: "Xiao Yin, the water in the pot is boiled dry, add water quickly!"

"Xiao Yin, you ......"

"Xiao Yin ......"

"That's enough! Why do you want me to do everything?" Yin Zhiping, who had endured for a long time, broke out.

Camilla did not hesitate to say the mastermind: "The order of His Majesty the Demon King." ”

“...... Even the Demon King can't bully people like this!This is a bully, this must be a bully, right!?"

For Yin Zhiping's gaze full of resentment, Garusis said indifferently: "You are a player, take a look at your experience column first." ”

Yin Zhiping opened the character bar and was surprised to find that his level had increased a lot.

"Uh......" That's when he understood Garucis' reason for doing so.

"Alas!" Ellis sighed as he sat on the somersault cloud, giving Yin Zhiping a slap on the back of the head with an expression of hatred.

"What a slow junior...... As players, in addition to fighting monsters and leveling up, we are doing tasks. And His Majesty the Demon King, as an aborigine, every order is regarded as a daily task, although there is not much experience, but the accumulation is also amazing. ”

"Oh...... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I blame you. Yin Zhiping, who understood the reason, apologized to Garusis with some shame.

"Just understand, remember to think before you do anything next time, and don't let anger dominate your body. Garusis said lightly, but in his heart he couldn't help but snicker.

It's true that Garucis and they can issue daily quests to players, but not everything will form a quest, only when the things that the player is ordered to do have reached a certain level of complexity, otherwise they can gain experience by boiling some water and taking out the garbage, which is too.

Ellis also understood, but did not debunk the matter...... Who made Yin Zhiping, a stupid person, not even bother to look at the taskbar?

"Your Majesty, there is a large number of life reactions ahead, and judging by the scale, it should be a human village. ”

"Well, I'll rest in that village today. Garucis instructed Yin Zhiping again, "Dragon knight Yin Zhiping, you are responsible for exploring the way ahead. ”

"Understood!" Then Yin Zhiping led the way in front.

Ellis shook his head: "Such a big person, he still behaves like an immature little ghost...... This guy must have been a family squat before he crossed over. ”

A village covered in snow appeared in front of everyone...... This may be a bit of a nonsense, as all of Anstaro's human settlements are covered in snow.

Entering the village, Garusis keenly sensed that the villagers were looking at his group with a look of vigilance and defensiveness, which had not been seen in those villages before.

"Loraine, go and ask if there's something going on here. ”

"Okay. Luo Lan jumped off the horse and casually stopped a middle-aged man, "This uncle, please wait a minute!"

"Uh, what's the matter with you?"

"Uncle, please don't be nervous, we are adventurers from Sisconia. Luo Lan took out a replica adventurer badge and showed it in front of the middle-aged man, "We found that the villagers here seem to be wary of us, can you tell us why?"

Perhaps it was the adventurer's badge that made the other party relax their vigilance, or maybe Luo Lan's voice was more harmless to humans and animals, and the middle-aged man answered Luo Lan's question after the initial vigilance.

"This is also something that can't be helped, it's really because there are some evil things in the village......" The middle-aged man looked at the sky and greeted Garusis and the others, "Do you want to rest in the village? Unfortunately, there are no hotels in a remote village like ours, so why don't you come to my house to stay, and by the way, I also have something I want to entrust to you." ”

On the way to the other party's house, he briefly introduced himself, and everyone knew that his name was Hans, an ordinary farmer in this village, and the name of this village was Shuiqiao Village.

Soon, they arrived at Hans's house.

"You may be seated...... Your Excellencies, adventurers, must have also seen that the villagers are wary of outsiders. Actually, it's because a lot of people have died in the village recently, so ......"

Hans did not continue, but watched the crowd quietly.

Lorain looked at Garusis and nodded before he said, "I almost understand what you mean, Mr. Hans, do you want to hire us to find out who killed the villagers?"

"That's right. Hans nodded.

"No problem, we've taken over this task...... So, I would like to ask you, Mr. Hans, to tell us the whole story. ”

Hans took a sip of his steaming coffee, and then slowly explained the whole story: "This is from a month ago......
