Chapter 16 Understanding

After checking that all the corpses had melted and that there was no missing light, Wang Xing took the girl and walked back towards the village.

He was not slow to catch up, but the subsequent battle, checking his loot, and the final questioning took a lot of time. At this time, when I walked out of the mountains and forests, the sky was gradually becoming brighter.

Although it was a night, the last movement that appeared yesterday still attracted a lot of attention.

So the prime of life in the village was stopped by the village chief, who urgently connected their relatives to the vicinity of the stone house, and then asked the middle-aged people to take long-handled farm tools and other weapons, and used the stone wall around the stone house as a defensive line, and waited in fear for a night.

As the morning sun rises, in their hearts, because the contract between the big man and the demon is there, the daytime is not the time for the demon to move.

Sure enough, when they were relaxing, Wang Xing returned with a long sword with a serious face.

Although the blood on the sword was shaken off, there were still some residual stains, which remained on the white sword and carved with sacred words, and these marks were very conspicuous in the morning sun.

I understand that Wang Xing obviously went through a vicious battle yesterday, but the good news is that Wang Xing is not only fine, but those monsters didn't follow him or anything.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the village chief needed to pay attention to more things, he hurriedly asked the farmer to prepare hot water and food for Wang Xing, and at the same time let more people go to his house to bring food first, feed and drink the villagers who had been vigilant for a night, and arrange for the rest of the people to go to rest and change shifts in an orderly manner.

Wang Xing did not stop the village chief's busyness, and the premise of wanting to get more things was to give up a lot. If he is not willing to give up, it will not be long before his current life will leave him.

Wang Xing was not far behind, because his physical strength was not very strong, so Mei was carried by Wang Xing on the road.

Because Wang Xing is too conspicuous, Mei is only a beautiful and capable person in this village, but in this case, he will not attract the attention of others at all, and quietly returned to the room where Wang Xing was resting.

After a brief meal and drink, Wang Xing unceremoniously began to inquire about the surrounding situation, and at the same time very clearly and forcefully showed the village chief what he had done before.

He said that when he killed those monsters casually, he stared carefully at the expression of the village chief.

The other party really showed panic and fear first, and then wanted to retreat as soon as possible, but Wang Xing forcibly pulled the village chief to stay, and the other party tried his best, but he couldn't make Wang Xing's hand on his shoulder move a bit.

The sheer power let the village chief know that Wang Xing was stronger and tougher than he seemed on the surface.

Wang Xing didn't know if the village chief told the truth, but the information that the village chief said now made him more aware of the situation around him.

It is an inconspicuous village on the border of the kingdom.

In the chaotic land, the vast kingdom is like a small sesame seed in the sea, and it can only go with the flow, and even need to pray that it will not be crushed by the waves in the turbulent waves of unknown who seals the law.

The vast, chaotic and chaotic land, the small kingdom, and the fact that they are just a small village in the kingdom's border territory, all determine the situation here.

The heavens are high and the emperor is far away, and many things in the kingdom can only affect their vicinity. The lord needs to recruit troops, and when they come to forcibly recruit people to leave, the people who leave are only to maintain the security inside the territory.

The biggest problem facing their village has nothing to do with the division and merging of kingdoms ruled by different lords and nobles.

The first person to influence them was a tax collector under a nobleman in a nearby city. What this person wants is all kinds of taxes every year, as long as he pays enough food and money to be able to pay for it.

In fact, the tax collector himself did not bother to come, but only asked relatives or subordinates to come, and these people did not bother to stay long in their village, where there was nothing, so they would leave soon.

What really affects them in normal times is actually the forces in the Black Forest, which is a natural barrier on the border of the kingdom, and the forest occupied by those witches with all kinds of magical sorcery.

There are many enemies in the forest, including witches, beasts, monsters, and demons...... However, because the village chief had made a pact with the witch leader under the leadership of the Church, a powerful force in which the local lords cooperated, it was not hostile to offer sacrifices on a regular basis as a sign of loyalty.

As the village chief spoke, Wang Xing had a better understanding of the surrounding environment in his mind.

The kingdom is the largest force in the vicinity, and the lords of the different territories under the command of the kingdom are the bosses who occupy their own mountains, and these people unite to form a king, and whoever is bigger can rebel and become the king.

Each person has his own turf and his own and other different powers.

The nearby forest is occupied by witches, so in addition to developing his own power, the lord uses different people to coordinate the relationship between local forces.

According to the village chief, every year they first get a few hundred catties of grain and a livestock, which seems to be a lot, but to a witch with power, it is really nothing.

So the witches in the neighborhood just want to see the attitude of these villages living in their territory.

It's just that these witches have made a mistake, and they can get filial piety, not because they are powerful in each place, but because the whole group is powerful. When a person encounters a powerful enemy, he should not directly send a demon attack to threaten him as he did last night.

These witches are a threat, and it looks like they should go to the forest to find them and get rid of them. ’

This thought flashed through Wang Xing's heart, and he listed this as his first goal.

Then there are the others who will arrive in the next few days, the tax collectors sent by the largest nobles in the nearby territory under the increasing differentiation of the local lords.

But he didn't have much contact with these people, at most he met after meeting. Wang Xing didn't take these people seriously.

After knowing the general situation, Wang Xing immediately began to ask the village chief various questions.

What is the scope of the villagers' activities in the village, and has the witch done anything angry or big over the years......

At first, the village chief was still speculating about various questions, but as Wang Xing asked him more and more, the village chief himself had some difficulty recalling, and many of the answers to the questions were wrong with each other.

Under Wang Xing's constant torture with a large number of questions, the village chief simply said whatever he knew.

Gradually, Wang Xing learned more about witches.

The once powerful witch signed a contract with the powerful of the kingdom, and that was a hundred years ago, just a few years ago, the most powerful witch in the forest died, and the situation in the villages near the forest changed a lot.
