Chapter Seventy-Two: The Village

There are generally long distances between continents, and Aaron thinks that he has no ability to cross the dangerous sea on his own, and the danger in the sea is far higher than that on land.

The vast expanse of the sea is inhabited by a wide variety of creatures, many of which are outrageously strong, and it is especially easy to get lost at sea, so it can be said that the sea is one of the most dangerous areas.

If he is still in the Gularan Continent now, it is naturally the thing that Aaron wants to see the most, if he goes to some places far away from the Gularan Continent, then the matter is not an ordinary trouble, even if he gets what the evil tree spirit wants, he may not have the ability to return to the sealing space.

Aaron's first task now is to figure out his location as much as possible, and then ask for as much information as possible about the three items he is looking for.

Leaving the place where he woke up, Aaron headed northwest for several days, but unfortunately there was no place to be inhabited, but fortunately there was no danger. In general, the place he is in now is just relatively remote, not a big and dangerous place, and his luck is not bad.

Speaking of which, it was the first time that Black Mu had left the secret realm, but coming to this strange world did not make him feel the slightest unease, but adapted quickly. Although the obsidian had been eaten all, it still followed Aaron because it was so simple, just so that it could drink the potion from time to time.

Kuom had been following, and Aaron was very satisfied with the result, as he still needed to collect blood from it in order to cultivate the next generation of seeds and increase the power of the spell.

If Black Wood were to leave like this, the loss would not be small for Aaron, because the obsidian had already been fully lost, and if he couldn't get enough blood, the loss would be too great.

"Oh! there's smoke!" Aaron walked as he walked, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw wisps of cooking smoke floating in the distance above him. "It's finally inhabited around here!"

Seeing the smoke rising from the cooking stove proves that there are people living in the vicinity, and you can go there to inquire about the news, find out where you are currently located, and the location of the nearest city from here, in short, where there are people, is Aaron's goal now.

Upon spotting the smoke, Aaron quickened his pace and trotted in the direction where the smoke was rising, and Black Mu also ran, following closely behind.

Walking through a densely vegetated area, what comes into view is a small village with a small population, about the size of a hundred households, and the total population will not exceed a thousand.

At dusk, smoke is rising from the chimneys of many simple houses, drifting into the blue sky, looking a plain and peaceful scene.

Aaron glanced at it a few times, then walked slowly into the village, and as soon as he entered the village, one of the villagers happened to see it, so he stepped forward and said, "Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"

Aaron looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, talking to him, and then replied politely: "Hello! My name is Aaron, and I am a wandering traveler who accidentally got lost and walked around to get here. I just wanted to ask what the place is and how to get around the nearest city. ”

"It's a lost traveler, is that strange creature in the back your pet?" the middle-aged woman looked at Aaron and looked curiously at the black behind him.

"That's right, it's my pet, it's called Kuro, it's timid by nature, and it will hide behind strangers. When Aaron heard this, he nodded and replied.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the question you want to ask, most of the people in our village have been hunting and surviving in the neighborhood since they were born, and they have hardly left this neighborhood too far......" The middle-aged woman had never left the village for more than a hundred miles, and she didn't know how to answer Aaron's question.

"Then has anyone in your village been to a nearby city?" Aaron asked with some disappointment, unexpectedly that the village had almost reached the point of isolation.

"We may know these questions you want to ask, so if I take you to meet the village chief, you can ask him yourself. The middle-aged woman's next words finally gave Aaron some hope.

Hearing her words, Aaron immediately nodded and said, "Then it's bothering you." ”

Following the women through the village, which was already small, the two came to the house where the village chief lived.

"You wait here for a moment, I'll go talk to the village chief. After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she walked to the door, knocked on the door a few times, and shouted at the same time: "Village chief! Village chief, open the door quickly......

After a few shouts, the door was opened, and a little old man with wrinkled skin stepped out of it and began to talk to the middle-aged woman.

I don't know what the two said, and then the middle-aged woman beckoned to Aaron and motioned for him to come over.

Seeing her body movements, Aaron immediately walked forward quickly and came to the two of them: "This should be the village chief, hello, my name is Aaron." ”

"That's right, this is our village chief, just ask whatever you want, I'm going back to make dinner." Before the village chief could speak, the middle-aged woman spoke first, and after saying goodbye to the village chief, she hurried home.

"Hello Aaron, my name is Max, and I am the chief of the village here, and I heard that you are a lost traveler who happened to pass through here. Seeing the middle-aged woman leave, the old village chief Mai Si laughed, and then said unhurriedly.

"Yes, Chief Max, I got lost a few days ago, and I just saw smoke here, so I ran over to inquire about the nearest city to go that way. Aaron affirmed.

"It's getting dark now, so why don't you come in with me for dinner, and we'll talk while we eat." Instead of rushing to answer the question, Max made a gesture of invitation and invited him to dinner.

"Then thank the village chief for your kindness!" Aaron looked up at the sky, and then gladly accepted Max's invitation, after dark, it was indeed inconvenient to travel, and it was a good choice to stay here for dinner. "It seems that the people in this village are not bad, they are all quite friendly. ”

Accepting the invitation, Aaron and Max went inside, while Black was left outside, not because he wouldn't let him in, but because he didn't want to.

"Father, who is this?" As soon as she entered, a young woman in her twenties noticed Aaron and asked Max curiously.

"This is Aaron, a traveler who has lost his way nearby, and he came to ask for directions, and I saw that it was almost dark, so I invited him to have a meal, and asked your sister to prepare more food. Max laughed.

"Hello, nice to meet you!" Aaron smiled at the woman.

The young woman just nodded to Aaron and left the hall and headed for the kitchen.

In the evening, Aaron was left behind by Max and placed in a small uninhabited house in the village.

"Why do I always feel that something is too wrong!" Aaron lay on the plank bed, thinking about today's events. "How could Max be so polite and welcoming, I'm a stranger, it's too much enthusiasm. ”

At dinner, Max brought out a lot of food, and kept asking about what he had seen and heard during his travels, which Aaron had to use some of the ordinary travelogue books in his library to justify his lies.

But Max was very interested in this, and asked Aarondo to stay for two days, and tell him more stories about the journey, or he would not tell the location of the nearest city.

In the face of Max's kind invitation, Aaron did not want to refuse, and reluctantly agreed to stay for an extra day, which seemed to be abnormal when he thought about it now.

Max is a ten-year-old man, how can he be so interested in traveling, if it were a young man, it would be reasonable, but he is almost in the ground, it is a little strange.

And he was very polite, not only gave some souvenirs, but also came over to help clean this small wooden house that had not been lived in for a long time.

All in all, Aaron can't say why, but he thinks that Max's behavior is a little too enthusiastic, in this world, can anyone really be so enthusiastic about a stranger who has just met? Obviously, this is extremely unlikely!

"No, I'll have to find out what's going on!" Aaron thought about it for a while, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, rolled out of bed, and quietly slipped out of the room.

"Hey, I almost finished this!" As soon as Aaron went out, Black Mu followed.

Aaron plans to sneak up on the village chief's house to find out if anything is unusual, and if Black Mu comes along, he will be easily spotted. For this reason, Aaron had no choice but to take out five bursting potions, drunk them before going to prevent them from following them, revealing his whereabouts.

After successfully getting Black Wood drunk, Aaron left him in the house and quietly approached Max's residence by himself under the cover of night.

In the evening, most of the people in the village stayed in the house, and Aaron went around to his destination very smoothly without anyone noticing.

Coming to the window, Aaron cautiously poked his head out and looked through a crack in the window.

"Oh, everyone!" Through the crack, Aaron saw in the hall that Max and his two daughters were there, and the three of them were sitting around a table, seemingly talking about something.

"It's a little quiet. Aaron put his ear to the window, but the conversations he heard were still a little muffled and he couldn't hear the conversation clearly.

The problem of sound is not difficult for Aaron, as long as he uses an auxiliary magic circle, he can amplify the sound inside and transmit it to his ears, this is not a spell, a first-level apprentice can do it, it is just a small trick.
