Chapter 5: Albert's Strength
After supplying some supplies, the four of them began to rush towards the small village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The hamlet is some distance from the city, not close to the main trade routes, but very close to the border.
Along the winding, artificially stepped path, the group walked into the forest, walked for a while, and when the dense foliage was removed, a small village appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The village was small, half-man-high with a wooden fence and only a dozen simple huts made of dirt and wood.
Now, huge gaps have appeared in the thin fences, and most of the huts have been torn down, smashed, burned, and turned into ruins, so that one can only guess its original appearance according to the rough outline.
Next to the village are small fields that have been carefully cultivated, but now the crops have long since withered and are overgrown with weeds.
Walking into the village, it was also very dilapidated, without a trace of life, and the poor villagers had no one to bury them, and the corpses were lying on the ground in such a mess, allowing maggots to climb and jackals to bite.
"Why did they come so far to build a village? If they were surrounded by a city like any other village, wouldn't it have happened to them? Zhang Ang couldn't help but ask.
"They don't have land, we in France, or rather, the whole continent, most of the land is in the hands of the royal family, the nobility, the Holy See. It was ruled by one lord after another, and was cultivated by their tenants or serfs. If the lords are good-hearted, then the tenants can probably live well, but as we all know, where are the good-hearted lords? Therefore, the vast majority of tenants are just struggling and not dying, and the situation of the serfs is even worse. How do these people, presumably, either fugitive slaves or runaway tenants, survive by hunting and farming, instead of hiding in the woods and away from people?" Albert explained lightly with a sad look in his eyes.
"Alas......" Zhang Ang sighed, not knowing what to say.
"But I just looked, there are indeed a lot of wolf footprints around, this village should indeed be attacked and slaughtered by wolf herders, and our direction is not wrong. Albert said with a frown.
Little Susan was frightened by the miserable scene in the village, and her tears kept falling, and she asked timidly, "Mr. Tom, will my father ...... him too?"
Zhang Ang hurriedly comforted her: "Haven't we analyzed it? Those wolf raisers, there must be a lot of wolves under their hands, then it is inevitable that some will be injured and sick, of course they need veterinary treatment, your father will be fine, believe the teacher, I will help you save your father." ā
Susan put away her crying, but she still had a sad face.
"Now that you've found a trace, let's follow, for they've been gone for a while. Albert said eagerly.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Ang said: "Don't worry, let's bury these people, after all, it's not a matter of exposing the corpses in the wilderness like this, Arnold, come and help." ā
The three of them worked for a while before digging a large pit, putting all the bodies they could find in the pit and burying them.
Zhang Ang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's go." ā
"Ugh......," Albert sighed.
"What a sigh. Zhang Ang was puzzled.
"You, you are just too kind, these people are the most humble people, but you have gone to such great lengths. Walking on the mainland like you will definitely suffer in the future. Albert said helplessly.
"This, you can't just look at it, I don't know if it's humble or not, but everyone is human, it's not that my martial arts strength is stronger, I'm more noble, it's not that I'm from a better background, I'm higher. We are all human beings, and the value of each person is immeasurable. And kindness shouldn't be a shortcoming. Zhang Ang disagreed with Albert.
"I didn't say that kindness is bad, but for the experience of walking on the mainland, it is better to be cold-blooded, not to be too gullible to others, and to pity others. It's easy to be fooled, and it's easy to lose. Albert said bitterly.
"I know that I will certainly not spare those wicked people, such as these wolf shepherds. Zhang Ang assured.
"I hope you really understand, not only to those evil people in the evil world, but also to others, such as your Sufi general, don't trust others casually. Albert insisted.
"Miss Sophie, she probably has a hard time. Zhang Ang's tone was a little uncertain.
She just wants to make a contribution to the revival of the family, and everyone else is a tool for her, and they can all be betrayed and betrayed. There are so many secrets on your body, what peerless martial arts, the secret method of realm breakthrough, and the magical ring on your hand now. You know, if I hadn't come to Paris, what would have happened to you, and you had been caught by them?" Albert said angrily.
"Okay, okay I know, I won't see her again. Zhang Ang assured again.
"Anyway, we're going to go abroad soon, so we won't go back to France in the future, and it's not great that we can travel around the mainland together when the time comes. Albert's eyes were full of longing, and he came to his senses and continued: "Of course, it is to help Susan find her father, and then send her back to the queen." ā
Zhang Ang was noncommittal, and changed the topic: "What do you think of the strength of this wolf herder, when the time comes, it will really be found, with our strength, can we rescue people." ā
Albert thought for a moment before he said, "There are generally two kinds of wolf herders, one is the sun-by-day werewolf of the Sun-Hunting Sect, and the other is the moon-worshipping werewolf of the Moon God Sect. These two werewolf organizations are very powerful, and many times, even the Holy See can't do anything about them. According to our observations along the way, this werewolf tribe is very cruel and easy to kill, and it is very likely that it is a day-by-day werewolf of the Day-by-Day Sect. And they usually act in tribes. Among them, the strongest tribe may even have a strong person at the Martial Saint level, and the smaller ones may also have a great grandmaster or Venerable level, which is not easy to deal with. ā
"I've always wanted to ask, what is your current strength?" Zhang Ang couldn't help but ask, he found that the Eye of Data couldn't scan Albert's data, either a question mark or a large fluctuation in various data.
"I don't know, the nameless exercises you gave me are very peculiar, completely different from other exercises, and I don't know what realm I have reached, but, generally speaking, at the great grandmaster level, I can still defeat it, and if I haven't fought at the Venerable level, I don't dare to guarantee that I may be able to get a draw? Albert now looks very confident.
"Well, I see, let's hurry. Zhang Ang ordered.
Arnold answered by placing little Sophie on his shoulder, and the group walked into the boundless forest and the mountains.
