When the door opened, out came a peasant girl, her flaxen hair braided into a long braid, hanging down in front of her, and her delicate face full of fear. When the girl saw the corpses of wild beasts all over the ground not far from the door of the house, she was frightened and exclaimed, "Are you all doing this?"

Before a few people could answer, a young man with flaxen hair rushed out, holding a rusty sickle in his hand, and stood in front of the girl.

"What's the matter, sister, who are these?" the boy held his scythe across his chest and assumed a defensive posture, his eyes full of defense.

"We were passing travelers, and we came to this village just to find a place to spend the night, but we didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Celetia asked politely. Only at this time will she change the appearance of the crazy girl in the past and take out a noble lady in exchange for the trust of others.

The two siblings looked at each other, as if judging whether what Celetia said was true or false, and the younger brother continued to ask suspiciously, "What kind of traveler is capable of killing so many beasts, and who are you?"

Celetia continued: "We are indeed just passing travelers, but we have absolutely no ill will towards you, and these animals will pounce on us like crazy when they see us, and we can only resist as best we can. ”

When the boy was about to say something, his sister stopped him and said, "I don't think you are bad people, otherwise you wouldn't have been here for so long, I, I have something I want to ask you for, is it?"

"It depends. "We can't help it if it's that kind of particularly troublesome request." ”

The maiden opened the door completely, made a gesture to invite in, and said, "Please give me a moment to explain our request." ”

When the seven of them had fully entered the house, they found that there was almost no furniture in the room, not even a place to sit, only a large cauldron with a few pieces of floating wood boiling in it.

"Do you eat anything like this?" asked Celetia incredulously.

"There is no way, the animals in the surrounding forests are basically crazy, they pounce on people when they see them, and there is no way to hunt at all. And at night they start attacking the villagers in a frenzy, and several villages have already been slaughtered. The girl couldn't stop crying, "Last night it was our turn in the village, and several villagers were also killed, and several others were seriously injured, and the wheat they planted was also destroyed by those wild beasts. ”

As soon as he heard that someone had been injured, Simmons stood up and said, "Where is the injured villager? I'm a doctor, take me there!"

The girl hurriedly urged the boy to lead the way, and took Simmons to the homes of the wounded villagers for treatment. The rest of the people stayed at the girl's house and continued to chat with the girl.

In the course of the conversation, they learned that the girl's name was Sophia, and her brother's name was Barton, and that her parents had a tavern in a small town called Boomer on the other side of the mountain, and they would send money back every month. But since the animals went berserk, no messenger had ever wanted to come to this little village called Hylut.

"If you can go to Boomer, please help bring a letter to our parents and tell them that we have to move, that the village is no longer inhabitable, and that we will continue to write to them if we can find a safe place. Sophia said with a sad face.

"But where are you going to move? You said these mad beasts are always moving, aren't they, what if they're in your new place soon after?" Celetia asked.

Sophia covered her face, a whimper leaking from her fingers, "But what can we do? If we continue to stay here, we will die, these beasts feel like they have been created in a steady stream, and they can't be killed at all." ”

Celetia clenched her fists and said, "It's really made...... There must be someone who also uses psychic magic to create these chaos behind these beasts. ”

Punirolo stepped forward and shook the girl's hand and comforted, "It's okay, we'll help restore peace to your village." Then she turned to the people behind her, "We'll help them find out who is behind the animal madness, right?"

In the face of the former gangster queen's half-inquiring and half-commanding tone, no one raised any objections, after all, what Punirolo said now is exactly what they think, only Earl joked: "Didn't the eldest sister just say that she wouldn't help with the special trouble?"

Punirolo looked at Earl and smiled profusely, Earl slapped himself lightly in the mouth, and bent over to Punirolo with a sneer.

Celetia said angrily: "Don't let me find this scum among the magicians, I will definitely kill this person with my own hands!"

At that moment, a hunchbacked old man walked into the door tremblingly on crutches, followed by Simmons and Barton. Sophia hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa Will, you're here, these warriors just said that they want to help restore peace to our village!"

The old man named Will was the head of the village of Hylut, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked excitedly, "Did you kill all the beasts outside?"

As soon as she heard the name of the god, Aso reflexively put her hand on her chest again, but she suddenly put her hand down as if she thought that she was no longer in the church. And Celetia asked the old man, "Grandpa, are there any people around you who can use magic?"

Will shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, how can we civilians have access to such a thing as magic." Then he said as if he had suddenly remembered something, "But as soon as you say that, I remember that there is a village named Ferrer to the south of our village, and I heard that many years ago there was a self-taught magician, and later he was taken away by someone from the Magic Association of Roseland. But Ferrer had been destroyed by these mad beasts a month earlier. ”

"Do you have any news of the magician?" asked Celetia anxiously.

Will shook his head, and then Barton suddenly said, "Grandpa Will, didn't Big Brother Owen escape from Ferrer to our village a month ago, why don't you go and ask him?"

"Yes, yes, yes, but wasn't he seriously injured last night? Will said.

Simmons replied, "All the wounded people here have been healed by me, although I don't know which Owen you just talked about, but I guess he is awake now." ”

Hearing Simmons's words, Sophia stood up and said excitedly, "Has Big Brother Owen been cured? Great! Let's go see him!"

So everyone followed Sophia to another house, the door was open, Sophia opened the door, a young man covered in bandages was half-lying on the bed, Sophia entered the door and cried and said: "Brother Owen, you are finally awake! Why did you work so hard last night? You could have hidden!"

Owen turned pale, but still pulled a smile at Sophia, and said: "A month ago, I escaped from Feller alone because I was scared and did not protect my family, and then I heard that the whole village was dead. Now I at least want to protect you and make up for my previous mistakes. ”

Listening to Owen's words, even Barton and Will couldn't help but wipe away tears. Owen saw Simmons at the door, and said gratefully, "Are you the doctor who saved me?" thank you so much, without you I would have been taken away by Hadilan, the god of death." ”

Simmons smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing, your little injury is not enough in my eyes!"

Celetia couldn't wait any longer, she walked up to Owen and asked solemnly, "Didn't your Ferrer have a magician many years ago, do you know about him?"

Owen nodded and said, "He's very famous in our village, I heard that he seems to learn something, spiritual magic?"

"Sure enough!" Celetia took a deep breath, "Can you tell me more about this magician?"

Owen nodded and began his story.
