Twilight.

The sunset in the village of Imu was later than that of Gulnia, and it was estimated that it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, when Xavier and Viscount Wallace passed through the various houses and heard a singing sound coming from nearby.

The chant was sung by a little girl, in the Vasiliki language.

"Rise up, Vasilyaki's people!"

"A glorious day awaits us. ”

"You see the tyrant is right in front of us,"

"Blood-stained flags raised!"

Next to her, a young boy's response.

"Do you hear me?"

"It was the roar of the murderous soldiers. ”

"They rushed to our side,"

"Kill your wife and son!"

Seeing this, Xavier couldn't help but glance at the master next to him and asked

"Master, what are they singing?"

"It's just some nursery rhyme. The viscount responded.

"But why can a nursery rhyme be sung so passionately?"

"Because it's a story of a brave man facing his enemy. The witcher shook his head, telling him not to care so much.

Faintly, Xavier seemed to sense something, but he couldn't understand the lyrics after all, so he chose to believe everything the master said, and stayed away from the song with the viscount, and came to the village chief's house in the distance.

Benley Bannet had asked them to go, and he agreed to Viscount Wallace's request to lend the two of them his guest room for a few days, and told them that the chief of the village knew best what monsters were nearby, so Xavier and Xavier came here at this time.

As for Xavier's previous speculation, he had probably asked his master, but after some conversation, the viscount said that he might have thought too much, and asked him to keep this thought in his heart for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to learn more about it, and Xavier did so.

In the midst of these thoughts, the two knocked on the door and received a response from the village chief, who invited the two 'braves' into his home and gave them a 'supreme' welcome - a dinner.

However, when Xavier saw the specific food, he found that the welcome was much more humble than that of Zomintos and even Gournia.

Because in front of his eyes, there were only some green mashed potatoes, with some strange sauces, which were not a good thing to eat, which made Xavier's eyebrows furrow slightly, and he felt that it seemed to be a dark dish, not something to be eaten at all.

However, after thinking about it, Xavier did not complain anything, after all, he knew that the life of the villagers here was not easy, and perhaps this kind of dinner was already their daily routine.

On the contrary, Viscount Wallace next to him did not have Xavier's empathy for others, so he directly expressed his dissatisfaction on his face and expressed his dissatisfaction with a question

"Did you have a bad harvest this year?"

The implication was how bad a harvest must have been for such a 'sumptuous' dinner, and the Viscount felt that he had been treated in exchange for defeating the ghouls who had attacked their village, and he was a little unhappy.

In the face of the viscount's dissatisfaction, the village chief naturally felt it, and responded in Minoan language as if sighing, "It is indeed very poor, the harvest of potatoes in the village can be piled up to the feet of the goddess of the night." ”

"But doesn't that mean a good harvest?" puzzled the witcher, "and when did you believe in the goddess of the night?" ”

"Of course we don't believe in goddesses, so there are no goddesses in this world at all, and naturally there is no potato harvest. The village chief replied helplessly

"Even the current meal of potatoes was barely retrieved from the warehouse, of course I know it's very shabby, and I'm sorry for it, but we really have no choice but to grieve the two heroes. ”

At this point, even if the viscount was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything, so he had to withdraw his expression just now and said with a smile, "Okay, in fact, we can understand your difficulty, so don't be sorry, we won't mind the problem of ingredients too much." ”

"Thank you, I'm really sorry. The village chief thanked him, and then asked, "By the way, I heard from Bingley, sir, that you have come this time to ask for information about the monsters nearby?"

"Yes. Viscount Wallace replied succinctly.

"If so, let's talk while we eat, and let me know that although we don't have a good harvest, we still have some crowns as some reward. The village chief seemed to be a little heartbroken, but said it anyway.

Because he knew that if the nearby monsters could be annihilated, the tragedy of being invaded by ghouls last time would not happen again, and a little money was worth exchanging for such a future.

"We are not short of money. Viscount Wallace shook his head and glanced at Xavier next to him, "I'm only here to take my apprentice to practice swordsmanship, so you don't have to pay us, just tell me your information quickly." ”

"Yes, since Sir said so, then I will thank you in advance. The old village chief shoved the mashed potatoes into his mouth and swallowed them

"For our village, the most common monster in the neighborhood is undoubtedly ghouls, and although the gentlemen seem to have wiped out a number of them, according to our observations, there should be two or three groups of ghouls within a radius of ten kilometers. ”

"In addition, it is said that the north is relatively close to the river, and there are some evil spirits and water spirits, but it is far away from us, so if the gentlemen do not want to go, they do not need to go. ”

"Finally, it's just rumors and rumors, I'm not sure if there are any monsters there, I just want to tell the two gentlemen. ”

"There is a bridge over the river in the north, and since the water spirits have been there and we have wells, basically no one has gone there, but as far as I know, whenever a brave man passes there, they say the same--"

"There seems to be a woman's cry under the river. ”

"Of course, this is just a rumor, and we can't confirm whether it's true or not, but if you are interested, you can also go and find out. ”

"Understood, thanks to the village chief. Viscount Wallace was very satisfied that the old man in front of him had told all the information so frankly, and then took Xavier, who was still eating, and left directly, "Then we will take our leave." ”

"There are Mr. Lao!" the village chief watched as the two backs left before his eyes.

And after they left, he couldn't help muttering to himself, the witcher didn't even eat a mouthful of mashed potatoes, but the young man ate a few bites, but only a little.

On the one hand, he felt sad that the guests were not satisfied with the ingredients, and he obviously thought it was delicious, but if he looked at it from another perspective, since the guests didn't eat it, then he could eat their portion, and he hadn't tried to eat so much in a long time.

That's why, his emotions are a bit complicated right now.

Of course, Xavier and Viscount Wallace, who had already left, would certainly not know what he was thinking, or they did not want to know at all, and they were discussing what to do with the information given to them by the village chief.

First of all, the ghouls should be dealt with the most, because their potential harm is too great and they may attack the village again at any time, so the two decided to find out the traces of the ghouls tomorrow, and then Xavier will be responsible for solving them all, which is a test for him.

After solving the problem, the second destination is the northern river, and the two of them want to exterminate the evil ghosts and water ghosts on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to investigate the rumors of the strange sound to see if it is a rumor or a fact.

That's their plan for the future, step by step, with clear regulations.

But before that, they have one more important thing to do, and the important thing that makes them run, and that is--

Fill your belly.

The reason is very simple, because the two of them couldn't stand the taste of the food just now, so naturally they couldn't eat enough, even if it was Xavier, who had worked hard, he only barely ate a few bites, not to mention the Viscount who had been respected for a long time, he couldn't force his stomach to accept this kind of thing.

So in the end, the two set their sights on the wild animals that existed everywhere, not the evil bats in the cave, of course, but the cute white rabbit with white fluff.

Although the rabbit meat is not tasty, it is at least much better than the one just now.

So after an hour or two, I saw two figures, barbecuing food in front of the charcoal fire.
