Chapter 67: The Legend of the Monsters
"My lord, you won't kill me?" The man looked at me in astonishment.
"I said that I wouldn't hurt you, how could I kill you." I said with a bitter face.
"Thank you, thank you, your lord." The man got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." I screamed at him.
It seems that it is really the people, and as soon as I spoke, he staggered to his knees in fright.
"Gather the stewards together and come to the inn to meet me." I said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes." The man nodded desperately.
"Alright, let's go." I said and waved my hand.
The man hurriedly got up and stumbled down the street.
"Let's go, let's go back." As I spoke, I waved my hand, and the brothers immediately drew closer to me.
There was no one else in the inn except our people.
The crowd was already fully armed, and when they saw us returning, they immediately greeted us.
"Boss, what's the situation?" Xiaoqiang asked.
"The villagers want to sacrifice us to monsters." I said with a wry smile.
"What?" Everyone asked in shock.
This result is far more shocking than that of a black store, if it is a black store, we can still tear down its signboard and smash his store.
But now for such a thing, we are more helpless and sympathetic in our hearts.
Everyone sat outside the inn with a lot of discussions, and there were several trembling figures in the distance, and the restaurant owner was among them, but at this moment he no longer had the previous smile on his face.
"My lord, we can't help it." As he spoke, he knelt down in front of me.
"How many times have you done this?" I asked in a deep voice.
"It's the first time, it's really the first time." It was the owner of the restaurant who spoke.
I glanced at the crowd and saw that the young man I had advised us to leave was among them.
"You come on." The young man happened to be looking at me, and I said to him with a smile.
"My lord, we did come up with this solution yesterday, because we were worried that the monsters outside the city would crawl directly into the city." The young man grimaced and told the truth.
"Xiaoqiang, you take a team of people to the city wall to guard." I turned my head and said.
"Understood." Xiaoqiang didn't ask why, and went straight to the city wall with people.
"My lord, there are five thousand guards in the city, the dead and wounded, and you guys." It's the restaurant owner who speaks.
If it were me, I wouldn't have believed that the three hundred people in front of me were capable of dealing with the legendary monsters.
"How many people are there in the city?" I asked.
"There are only three thousand left, and the rest are gone." The restaurant owner smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Then why don't you leave?" I asked.
"We're gone, and the northern dog clan is gone." The young man said with a wry smile.
"Why don't you go and ask the nobles for help?" Blizzard asked.
"An inferior race like ours, the nobility will not pay attention to it at all." The shopkeeper said with a wry smile.
"How many monsters are there? How long have you been here? I asked.
"There are three heads, and they have been here for more than half a month." The young man said.
"Alright, let's all go back, I'll figure it out, but don't think about poisoning us anymore." I said with a wry smile.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't believe me.
"I'm not the nobleman you think, just look at my brothers, okay, go back." I said again.
Only then did everyone slowly get up and leave step by step.
"My lord, I'm with you." The young man came straight to me.
"No, you can go back." I smiled and waved my hand.
"My lord, I don't know why you're helping us, but this is my home, and I know where the monster's lair is." The young man said excitedly.
Why? I don't know why, if I change to another race, I may hesitate, but the dog people in front of me may be just because they are dog people.
"Okay, then you stay, and we'll leave at dawn." I got up and walked towards my room.
"Do you really want to help them?" Blizzard asked in a whisper.
"What do you mean?" I asked rhetorically.
In fact, this girl has always given me the feeling of being too calm and rational, I don't think it's bad, but I still hope she is more humane.
"I don't know why you're helping them, I just don't think it's worth it." Blizzard said.
"Before I saved you, I didn't think about whether it was worth it." I said with a wry smile.
I didn't want to say that, because she really didn't say anything to me, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear.
"You think I'm cold? Cold-blooded? Blizzard smiled.
"Sort of." You're welcome.
"I've seen so many people over the years that I've had to learn to weigh the pros and cons." Feixue said with a wry smile.
"The same for me?" I asked with a wry smile.
Me and her, strictly speaking, were an accident, and I don't know if there was any affection in it.
But after this time of getting along, if I could choose, I hope, there is.
"At first, I thought you were just like other men, and I admit that I wanted to leave with the help of your abilities." Blizzard said, looking me in the eye.
"And then?" I asked with a smile as I endured the pain in my heart.
"Later, later I felt that you were worth entrusting for life." Blizzard said.
"Just worth it? Not love? I asked.
"yes, so I don't want you to put yourself at risk." Blizzard said.
This is not the answer I wanted, I still have a smile on my face, but I am crying in my heart.
I would be sad, maybe just because I had a preconceived idea that she loved me.
"If that's the case, then I'm going to have to help them." I got up and left the room with that.
In fact, after going through so much, I don't know why I am still so naïve, maybe it is just because it is not money and etiquette that have supported me along the way, but only affection and love.
I've always felt that Feixue understands me, but I have never understood her.
I went around to Xiaoqiang's room, this guy is still on the city wall, and he won't be back tonight.
Lying down, I couldn't sleep, I didn't expect a woman who didn't love me, but made me completely insomnia.
"Boss, brothers are ready." A brother's voice came from outside the door.
"Let's go." I was sleeping in my clothes, and I didn't close my eyes at all, so I went out with a knife at the moment.
"How's it going? See what it is? I asked Qiang, yawning.
"I only heard the screams, but I didn't see what it was, and yesterday I had my brothers set a fire outside the city to survive." Xiaoqiang said listlessly.
"My lord, I'm ready." The young man's eyes appeared in front of me with determined eyes.
Unlike my brothers, he didn't have any weapons on him, just a bag on his back and a hydration bag.
"Let's go see what it is before we make plans, Feixue, let your people take over the city wall, and the others rest in place, you ten, follow me." I picked the ten squad leaders of my 100-man personal guard.
Feixue's eyes were a little strange, but I was still immersed in distress, and I didn't bother to pay attention to what she meant, so I took the people on the horse and went straight out of the city.
Guided by the young man, we came to a wood, as if the monsters were in a similar place.
This time, however, there was a difference, because through the woods, it was actually a huge cave.
It's only half a day's walk from the dog family, and even though we're on horseback, it's just too close.
"When was the last time the dogs encountered a monster?" I couldn't help but ask.
"I guess it's been at least a hundred years." The young man frowned.
I couldn't help but think back to my previous experience, why all of a sudden it seemed like all these monsters were active?
Looking at the huge cave in front of me, I didn't know the bottom of my heart.
Cold Wind told me about some legends of monsters, and although I was curious about what caused these monsters to suddenly wake up after a hundred years of sleep, the endless darkness in front of me always made me a little frightened.
"Dismount and walk." As I spoke, I jumped off my horse, took a deep breath, and walked into the cave first.
We stopped in the dark, and although everyone had night vision, it took a process of adaptation.
The vision gradually recovered, and we walked lightly towards the depths of the cave, in such an environment, if we encounter the monster head-on, I guess we will only die.
After all, a coincidence like being swallowed directly by a monster in the stomach is always a coincidence, and it can't be so coincidental every time.
