XXXIS. Massacre
Near dusk, Liye and the others finally walked out of the mountains and saw the touching artificiality.
But it's probably the region or human beings' own "group consciousness" or nostalgia or something like that, in this world, there are often many small towns around a town, big or small, the big one is barely a township, and the small one is like the one in front of them. It's more of a village than a town.
From a distance, there are so many households, I am afraid that they can be counted clearly. On the periphery, a trench was dug in place of the city wall, but the trench was not deep, and it seemed that the relatively peaceful life made them less vigilant. The two roads in and out of the village were paved with mud, and it was no wonder that the village did not prosper after the rain, but the rest of the place was covered with wooden railings, and behind the railings was a ditch that looked like an enlarged version of Robinson's cottage.
Liye probably guessed that eighty percent of the reason was the lack of stone, because of the shortage of stone in the mountain, so I don't know if there is a way to use this kind of soil, but the monsters basically live on the other side of the mountain, and there was originally a demon dog on the other side to suppress it, so it won't be a big deal.
But now the demon dog has been taken in by himself...... Liye said that he should not worry about this village...... After all, this mountainous area is still very dangerous to ordinary people, and there is definitely no need to be afraid of wild beasts, but it is difficult to say about that pile of magical beasts......
"Well, let's find a place to settle down first. β
Liye waved his hand. And the demon dog shrank to the size of an ordinary puppy in the surprised eyes of everyone and threw himself into Liye's arms.
"I said, what's so surprising? You don't think that a high-level demonic beast like a demon dog can't even get smaller, do you?"
Ignoring their embarrassed reactions, Liye took out a book, opened it slowly, and spoke slowly.
"Geographically, we're supposed to be here now, uh, Revato? Why isn't it called Levatin? Well, this is the town...... Hey, a little village next to it...... Hey, is it really good to complain about everything as small as a geography guide?"
After struggling for a while, Liye decided to give up the explanation of the unknown meaning of entanglement, and then continued to read and continue to entangle......
"! The name is 'Little Village', why do you tease me!?Specialties?This kind of small village also has a specialty?Tofu?Tofu that is so unpalatable that it can make people lose their sense of taste!?I'll go, this can be eaten? Hey, it's still a signature dish of the hotel!
At the end, Liye slammed the book into the carriage. What the hell is this village!
The others looked at Liye's one-person contract, tour guide, spit service, selling cute service and the final big outbreak, all speechless and looking at the sky.
It's really unreliable......
Although the village is small, there is no such thing as saying that the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. And they also noticed that on the side of one of the houses that looked quite large, there were all kinds of trucks parked.
I hope they didn't go to the Imperial City, or they would have to have fun......
Li Ye actually secretly emptied half of the treasury before leaving...... Prices there are definitely skyrocketing right now, and I'm afraid that the cost of entering the city alone will kill them. That is, they are far away from Ye and they are running now, plus they don't care, otherwise they will be scared how far they will run. If these businessmen can't make it back in the end, hehe......
In the end, Li Ye looked at the mercenaries guarding beside him, they were not bad, and the lowest was also a third order, compared to the group behind him...... One day and one earth...... If it weren't for the good teamwork ability and the strong team leader, let alone the intermediate level, probably wouldn't even be able to form a mercenary group......
"How could those mercenaries be so much worse than you......"
Liye twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling if he was stupid.
"Ah, don't you know?"
Rafa asked curiously.
"Our 'Youyong' mercenary group adopts a hierarchical system, and I am only the head of the group, so my subordinates are not very strong, but we can always ask for help from other 'Youyong' people. The benefits of such a system ......"
"That is to say, if we are in trouble, they can not do it, you will shirk it by the way, it is your own responsibility, we have a little problem, they will be a favor and sell us a favor, right?"
Liye interrupted them impatiently.
"And you can't touch your people in this kind of small place, so if you eat deflated, you can only admit it, right?"
He doesn't know how many times he has played this set, and he doesn't need others to say it to understand it at all. At the same time, he felt more and more ...... I wasn't a thing before......
Liye stopped Rafa's words with an exhausted expression, and beckoned for the carriage to be tied up, and then walked towards the inn. He really hates this set of things, and this thing should be banished in the long river of time as a historical obsolescence along with aristocratic etiquette! If you have that time, you might as well think about how to benefit the whole world! Calling for equality but using all your IQ on this kind of thing, it's a fucking thing!
"That'...... My lord, I'm going to prepare a room, why don't you go around the neighborhood first?"
Li Ye rolled his eyes, put Xiao Bai on his shoulder, and turned to leave.
Liye seemed careless, but in this regard, Inoli was thinking very seriously, and she had already planned her own action guide.
Although Liye felt that it was impossible to come in handy...... The elves, on the other hand, seem to be more concerned about the carriage.
Liye: "Don't worry, no matter how valuable these goods are, no one will take them." β
"The rules here?"
"It's not. It's just that I've added a little bit of gadgets to it, and everyone else but us will explode. β
Li Ye deliberately said a little louder, obviously intimidating. If someone scoffs at this, it's good, a broken carriage for one or a few lives, at least Liye thinks it's a good deal.
The elf was still a little worried, but he didn't say anything more.
Walking into the village, it was not much deserted, with all kinds of horse-drawn carriages parked on both sides of the street, and from time to time merchants dressed differently were spitting with other people. Waving his hand and leaving eighty percent of the deal is blown, leaving a card is estimated to be able to contact in the future, happy to open the pocket that must have become, although whether it has been falsified is another matter.
The small place was filled with conversations and even shouting. Although it is not a developed place, it does not seem to be as deserted as you would like to find as a foothold, but it is better to say that it is a small village that it has a more "worldly" feeling.
"Hey, dear gentlemen, beautiful young ladies. β
By the way, Liye was shopping with Inoli, Elf and Ellie, and there was an Abel brand light bulb that was not very strong behind him.
"What's the matter? We don't buy anything. β
Li Ye casually said that he really didn't buy anything. Maps? You don't need that kind of thing to recognize the way.
"Ah, don't say that, seeing each other is fate, and I have a lot of good things. β
The merchant was obscene and something, and he smiled so hard that he couldn't bear to leave the leaves.
"A few of them are really extraordinary, I can tell at a glance that they are certainly not mortals, as you can see, I am a traveling merchant. Traveling merchants have a lot of good things that ordinary merchants don't have, and I have a lot of them here...... The price is very cheap, if you need a special ......."
As he spoke, he approached Liye and opened a small pocket in his hand slightly, only to see that there were various kinds of jewelry inside, and ordinary people could be blinded by the luster. But he was really not interested in seeing Liye, and he glanced at a certain carriage covered with black cloth a few times. It was a cage for slaves, and what was in it matched the obscene expression of the merchant was something that a normal person could guess.
"Sorry, we're not interested in that. β
I should say I'm not interested in that. If it's a third-rate online game, it's a mysterious businessman who claims to be rare in a hundred years, but it's actually a stop at the intersection, I guess it's still a little interested.
"Well, sir, you think about it, I have other ...... Hey!"
Seeing that Liye bypassed him without hesitation, the businessman hurriedly stepped forward and was about to say something, but before he could say more, Liye and they disappeared into the sea of people.
Seeing them leave, the merchant snorted coldly, and his expression immediately became serious and indifferent, completely unable to tell that he was still a lewd wanderer who was selling "bad things" just now. He quietly turned away, as if there was still something reflected in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
On the way, Inoli asked, who looked a little distracted from Ye Ye.
"Your Excellency, the carriage ......"
"Slaves. Liye replied indifferently, "As for which one is another matter." You wouldn't say you wanted to save them, would you?"
β......β
Seeing that Inoli was silent, Liye couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"There is a saying in my hometown, 'If people don't save themselves, no one can save them', besides, as the daughter of a high-level class society, isn't it too hypocritical for you to express your kindness now?"
"But!"
"No, but!" Li Ye interrupted the other party strongly, "If you can't see it, you can take it for granted, and if you see it, you can't bear to see it, this is hypocrisy in itself!"
Seeing the appearance of Inoli biting her lip, Liye couldn't help but sigh.
"Besides, I didn't say they were the kind of slaves that some corpse meal trash bought. β
He scratched Xiaobai's head in his arms and sighed.
"You're really good enough to get into trouble, so it seems that this is not far away, based on the average age, it's probably about a hundred years, hey, trouble, it would be good if it was about one hundred and fifty years......"
"Whew. β
Demon dog Xiaobai shook his head dissatisfiedly and shook off Liye's clutches, and complained depressedly.
Back at the Inn, Rafa, who was exchanging messages with other mercenaries, hurriedly stood up.
"I thought you would walk more, adults......"
"It's too noisy outside and ...... Something unpleasant has happened. Are there any legends here?"
Taking the opportunity to speak, he cautiously glanced around the entire hall while leaving Ye Wendao.
It can be seen from the clothing that which are traveling merchants and which are big businessmen who go out. Those wearing armor such as steel armor or leather armor are basically their bodyguards, although there are also mercenaries passing by. It seems that this place is not only a place to stay, but also an occasion for merchants to trade goods, and a place to expand their contacts. To put it to an extreme example, isn't there a saying that "a businessman who can't ask for money and doesn't want to die is not a good businessman", so how does the money come from? Of course, it depends on these connections. For businessmen, one more network is equivalent to one more way to make money.
Of course, it's also not surprising. Everyone here cast a rather interested look at them from Liye, in all senses. Not to mention Liye, Inoli and Ellie, the race of elves alone, white hair and bichromatic pupils are enough to arouse anyone's interest, including human traffickers. Although Liye likes to keep a low profile, it is obviously not very possible. If he had changed before, there would have been no ugly one in that bunch of people, even if he looked ordinary, his temperament was very prominent, and he would have been a little beautiful when he put it in, well, Liye was very handsome, not handsome......
"I'll go to the room first. β
Maybe it was uncomfortable to be stared at, and the elf was the first to ask to leave.
As Liye thought, as soon as the elf was leaving, Inoli and Ellie couldn't sit still and left one after another. Although Li Ye didn't like this kind of attention, he was used to it, not to mention that he still had something to ask. Nodding to their sisters, Rafa told the room and they left the hall. As for Abel sitting on the sidelines, he was not unnatural, although he was a little handsome, but not enough to be regarded as a target of human trafficking.
And he also has curiosity.
"So, Rafa, have you made any inquiries about any legends or anecdotes around here?"
"Oh, Rafa, that's what you call an adult?"
Just then, a voice interjected out of thin air. Liye unhappily turned in the direction where the sound came from.
A young man dressed in fine clothes who looked slightly larger than himself was sitting on the only sofa in the inn. He looked at Liye with a defiant smile.
"Rafa. My question, answered. β
Liye was not interested in paying attention to him, and he was not so idle to pay attention to him. is still the same sentence, whoever provokes him has to go back, which is too valuable.
"Ah, there are legends, there are, but I'm afraid that's what you want. Well, not a single one of that. β
As he spoke, Rafa glanced at Xiao Bai who was nestled in Liye's arms quite jealously. Well, along the way, this dog has made trouble for Rafa.
"Hey, what's your name? β
The young man wasted no time in provoking him. Liye was also quite speechless in his heart, idiots are really everywhere. What are you doing? When I'm a little white face, I'm a bully, I provoke me, I beat you every minute! Believe it or not, I can't let you out of this village?
Of course, just think about it, Liye is not the kind of person who will make foreign affairs misguided. Again...... Even if you leave it alone, this character is estimated to not live long.
"No, it's good enough to keep it secret. β
Liye muttered.
"Forget it, it's a matter of time anyway. β
"Hey, Young Master Ben called you!"
Liye turned back impatiently. He hated being interrupted talking, being interrupted talking, being interrupted thinking!
"Get out of here!"
Just because the leaves are bad doesn't mean that Rafa can be bad, on the contrary, as a mercenary, it's best not to provoke them.
"My lord, this is actually Baron Aldo, the family has the title of earl, the only son in the family, because the old son is very popular with the earl, the baron's father is not only a famous businessman, but also has a lot of research on weapons and magic, the baron's family is all big in business, after hearing about your skills and insights, he is very interested in talking about it. β
The implication is that the skills of this world are so scummy? Combat skills are so weak even in weapon manufacturing?
Liye is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very smart when he is smart, but he doesn't like to use his brain very much. It seems that Rafa is just introducing, but Liye also understands that Rafa's position as a mercenary is embarrassing, and he has mentioned the title and only son so many times in a row, obviously hoping that he will not fight with him, and as an alchemist, he has a personal network to promote his work, and it is obviously a unique work. But after all, if his skills are revealed, he is definitely not afraid, but Inoli is not easy to say, the weapon was also traded on the black market at the beginning, and he didn't dare to get it on the surface, if the bottom of Lafa Tou crossed the line......
In the depths of Liye's heart, a trace of murderous intent has quietly emerged.
"It turned out to be Baron Aldo, disrespectful and disrespectful. β
Liye laughed with him, looking really disrespectful.
"Humph!"
Aldo smiled haughtily, looking like the second and third in the world.
"Listen to Master Rafa, you have a very special skill, please let me see it. β
I used the word "please", but I couldn't hear it at all. Liye just replied to this.
"What do you say, I'm a bard, and I have no special means. β
"You're fooling me?"
Aldo sneered and said in a deliberately loud voice.
"Supposedly, you can make a magic weapon?"
He accentuated his tone on the word "magic guide", although others may find it shocking, but there is nothing else, but Liye understood. What he meant was, "Don't pretend to be stupid, cooperate for both sides, or you won't have a good time getting the bottom out!"
"I'm sorry, please go back, I don't have anything you want. β
Liye's tone turned cold in an instant, and at the same time, his eyes swept coldly over everyone present and recorded their faces, breath, and perception to the limit, the breath of everyone in the village, who was about to leave, who was coming, would not be missed, and all of them were written down - since you heard it, even if you didn't hear it, but as long as it was possible! Then you all have to die!
"You!huh!"
Glaring at Liye, Baron Aldo snorted angrily and turned around and walked towards the upper floor of the inn. As everyone knows, he has already been on Liye's must-kill list!
"Rafa. β
After the people left, Liye called softly. Although the tone was not very intense, Rafa felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Excellency. β
"Who are you employed now?"
β...... Your Excellency. β
"There's a next time, no, you won't show up again. β
Liye said softly, and then walked slowly upstairs.
"Yes, sir. β
Rafa understood that Liye's words seemed to affirm his words were not, and there were two meanings in his words. One: If you can't do it, then die now. Two: If he really recidives, then he will take his own life before he does it again!
Maybe Liye has always been very easy-going, so Rafa unconsciously crossed the line between the hired and the hired, which made him break out in a cold sweat!
"I'm tired. β
Li Ye went to the room, closed his eyes, and immediately marked everyone in the perception domain, and the moment his perception domain opened, the communication of the entire village was completely blocked, even if the flying pigeon passed the book, it couldn't be transmitted. What he wants to do is to give a massacre to everyone who has stayed in this village before leaving! He doesn't think he's a good person, so he won't have any thoughts like "innocent" or "not innocent", and threatens to strangle him in the cradle! He is not prepared to let anyone go because of a moment of mercy and will be hunted down by an earl family with all his might, and he doesn't expect that this stupid earl will send some weak people one by one to wait until he has the world and then fight the whole clan or something, that is too stupid and naΓ―ve! Which chase he had encountered was not almost fatal!
Liye poured a cup of tea and took a sip. Maybe others will say that he is cruel, but he is not willing, he doesn't care how many strangers he kills for an acquaintance, but this does not mean that he is willing, emotionally speaking, he is still very close to ordinary human beings, even if it is not emotionally speaking, indiscriminate killing will carry "karma", as long as it is not into the path of evil ghosts and Shura, who would want this? However, it is still the same sentence, if there is a threat, then it must be strangled in the cradle.
"So I'm sorry, it's a big deal that I'll spend your next life afterwards, and besides, the taste of the drug is too bad, so it's too unethical to be so casual. β
Liye coldly poured out the tea. Hah, I really want to know which drug to drink can work on ghosts.
Sitting at the window away from Ye, if he really wanted to, it would be no problem not to sleep for a few days and nights, or even never sleep. He was now thinking about the massacre.
The first is how to leave people behind, this is very simple, just give them a hint through the perception domain, and then they will naturally find various reasons to stay, and even if they encounter danger, they will not run out of this village, of course, it is inevitable that accidents, and the surrounding area of the village still needs to be watched by themselves. Next is the question of how to kill, if you do it yourself, although it is a little troublesome but not impossible, but it obviously does not meet the definition of "accident", is it possible that there is an accident that a homicidal maniac passes by?
Thinking of this, Liye suddenly thought of a good way. Use the alchemy potion to go berserk and lure down all the demonic beasts and beasts in the mountain!As for what to do? Li Ye looked down at Xiao Bai in his arms. Isn't this a former king of the mountain!
But before you do it, you have to deal with some other guys, well, these guys are on the must-kill list, but you don't have to worry about it. Liye seemed to be looking at the scenery, but in fact, he was looking at the crowd of people walking around nearby. This kind of handover method is too outdated, so there is a spiritual link or something.
No matter how much people who walk in the darkness pretend to be ordinary people, they will actually be different from others. Maybe normal people can't see it, but Liye can see it clearly.
The so-called walking in the darkness is nothing more than this in Liye's opinion, and he has experienced much more darkness than this.
So, let's get started.
Liye retracted his gaze and made up his mind.
