Chapter 17: The Couch Side
With a wave of his arm, golden sacred fire erupted, and a huge bonfire appeared in front of the mine again, illuminating the already dim depths of the forest like daylight.
The power of the sacred fire did not disappoint David, worthy of this gorgeous and dazzling sound and light effect.
With just one move, the huge monster fell to the ground, and the strange scarlet light from before also dissipated under the scorching fire of the divine fire.
After waiting cautiously for another moment to make sure that the monster was completely dead, David dispersed the sacred fire wrapped around his hand, and turned to look at Laura, who was speechless: "Awesome, right?" ”
"Awesome." Although she was a little speechless about David's middle two move, Laura still nodded, after all, one move killed a giant monster that could resist several shotguns, and the power of David's move was really strong: "But ...... Isn't this spell called Sacred Fire? Why do you shout the Libaibachi: Orochi? ”
"The Snake Nagi is a very powerful move, which can better release the sacred fire, and there is no conflict between them."
David slurred casually, not wanting to say too much about it.
For him, there is no essential difference between directly releasing the Divine Fire and using the 'Great Serpent', both of which are releasing a large amount of Divine Fire to attack the target. After all, he didn't understand the Great Snake Nagi at all, and he didn't know what details the authentic Great Snake Nagi would have when they were used, unless one day Kusanagi Kyo or Kusanagi Chai Boat came to Winter Village.
"Let's get out of here while we don't attract more trolls!" Looking at the flames that had been extinguished, there were already two charred trolls lying on the ground, and he was a little skeptical that this mine was a refresh point for trolls, how could he encounter such a monster every time he came over.
"You're right, it's so unsafe here." Laura had similar thoughts, and Davy made a quick move towards the south side of the forest.
If you have any questions, you can wait until you get back to Winter Village.
This time, there were no accidents on the way, and the two of them walked out of the forest smoothly and returned to Winter Village.
Looking at Mark and Fordin, who were sitting at the long table chatting, David and Laura let out a sigh of relief.
Noticing the situation of the two, the experienced Ferding immediately guessed that the two of them did not go well this trip and should have encountered some enemies.
After a few more careful glances, through the complexions of the two and the posture of their actions, Furding was sure that the two people were not injured, and knew that this trip was at most thrilling, so he relieved his heart.
"Sit down and rest for a while, and I'll help you warm up your dinner and talk while you eat."
"Excuse me, Tirio." David and Laura took off their belongings and put them aside, then sat down at the wooden table and waited for dinner.
Mark poured two large glasses of water for the two of them, and asked curiously, "Is it good news or bad news?" ”
"Both." Drinking the water from the cup in one gulp, David felt that this trip to the depths of the forest had paid off: "The good news is that we don't have to worry about the wolves retaliating anymore. ”
"Oh?" Although Mark does not need to hunt far from the village, even if he stays in the village all the time, he is still at risk of being attacked by wild beasts, and it is certainly good not to worry about the threat of wolves.
But David just said that there is good news and bad news, looking at the looks of the two people just now, it is estimated that things are not so simple.
"Bad news, wait for Ferdin's return."
"Then you two rest first, and I'll help Tirio." Mark wasn't in a hurry for a while, and got up to help Ferdin.
Although with the arrival of Mark and Laura's return to her hometown in England, the various materials of Winter Village have become much richer, but they are not too complicated and extravagant for dinner, and they still focus on stewing and barbecue.
Soon a hot potato stew was served, along with French arms provided by Laura and some bagged goods provided by Marc, and a simple dinner was placed on the table.
Eating the stew, David recounted what happened to him and Laura today, and Ferdin, who were sitting across the table, learned the whole story.
"Trolls?" Ferdin, listening to Davy and Laura's description, remembered a creature from the world of Azeroth: "Sounds like a snow monster. ”
Hearing that David could use the Divine Fire to kill this creature neatly, he felt that the threat of this creature should not be too great, at least not to himself.
"Can't you communicate?" Mark Watney's focus is different from that of Fodin, and he thinks that since the other party is an intelligent being, maybe he can try to communicate? However, judging from Laura's and David's descriptions, it seems that as soon as this troll saw them, it attacked directly, and it seemed that it had no intention of communicating with them.
"Maybe you can ......," David dipped the bread in the broth a few times, "but at the moment, it seems that the other party has no idea of communicating with us." ”
In his heart, he was more inclined to destroy these trolls, after all, the other party's village was too close to Winter Village, and if those trolls suddenly wanted to attack Winter Village, his side would not even have a way to warn them in advance, and could only passively meet the enemy when the other party killed him.
Chewing on the gravy bread for a few seconds, David gave up a little bit of the tangle that had just arisen, he didn't worry about being questioned if he was too cruel, and the troll attacked when he saw him and Laura, and from that moment on the creature was classified by David as a group of hostile creatures.
"Anyway, we now have a group of vicious neighbors, much more dangerous than wolves." David summed it up simply: "It seems that there is more trouble in developing a life in this place than previously expected. ”
"If you really want to grow Winter Village, these are things you have to go through." Furding looked at Davy, suddenly a little curious about how far the young man could finally go.
At first, Fording just wanted to find a place where no one knew him to live in seclusion, although he somehow came to another world, but the situation here just met his needs, so he chose to live here.
Coupled with David's amazing talent for the Light, he felt that it was a good thing to be able to spread the Way of Light in another world, and he taught David about the Light by the way.
Even if David had already expressed his desire to develop Winter Village at that time, he didn't take it too seriously.
After listening to some of David's descriptions, he knew that it was not so easy to develop the village.
In Fordin's opinion, maybe David can use the help of people from all over the world to establish Winter Village and become an officially recognized village of the Kingdom of Tiran, and David can also become the official village head.
But to go further, it's very difficult, even impossible.
Not only the physical troubles, but also David's own factors - for now, David is just a young hunter from an ordinary background, and Fording does not feel that he has the ability to develop a village into a larger town.
In Fordin's original idea, David's ability to run a small village well was already a sign of talent.
But David's 'decisiveness' after discovering the troll village today made Fording change his mind slightly: not everyone can make the decision to completely clean up the 'hostile forces' in such a situation.
Not to mention a young man from an ordinary background who has never served as a manager, many lords who have ruled the place for many years will hesitate and not know how to make a decision when they encounter a similar situation.
"Perhaps, this young man can really develop this village?"
David didn't know what Ferding was thinking, he was mentally organizing the language, and wanted to ask Ferding to help. As a result, before he could speak, Ferding had already taken the initiative to make a move.
"I'm very comfortable in Winter Village, but I don't want to be disturbed by a bunch of trolls, so I'll go to the forest tomorrow to get rid of them."
According to Ferdin, he was responsible for solving the troll alone.
David didn't really let Furding go alone, he was also the village chief of Winter Village, how could he stay out of such a big matter as eliminating the threat near the village.
As for Laura and Mark Watney, one is a tourist adventurer, the other is just a botanist, and this kind of bloody work is not for them.
Both of them were smart men, and they understood that Fording and David were not asking them to take care of them, and that their own situation was so, so they didn't say anything.
"Rest well tonight, and we'll go to the forest together tomorrow."
With Ferdin's words, the matter of the trolls no longer needs to be discussed, and they have only one ending, being eliminated by Tirio Ferdin.
In fact, the next day, as David and Furding arrived at the simple village where the trolls lived, they found that these trolls really did not have the slightest intention to communicate, and rushed directly to attack, Tirio Furding showed his amazing combat effectiveness.
Throughout, Fording didn't use the Light, but simply slew all the trolls with the two-handed heavy sword that Laura had given him.
In addition to admiring Lafayette's sassy and heroic posture up close and improving his combat experience with cold weapons through observation, David didn't even have many opportunities to cast auxiliary holy light spells, so he almost shouted 'Six-Six-Six' on the side.
Even the last troll, which was larger than the other trolls and was obviously the leader, roared with an even more dazzling blood-red glow, but it couldn't last long in Fordin's hands, and soon fell to the ground.
It hasn't been much since the two of them arrived in the troll's village until the battle ended, and if someone who doesn't know the truth sees the battle, they may pray in their hearts: "Come on, white-haired trolls!" ”
Furding, who had completely cleaned up the trolls, was standing in front of the stele with David at this time, frowning at the blood-colored light that emanated from it.
"This altar doesn't seem to be a good thing."
