"Um?"

"what's going on?"

Sauron watched the castle guards leave the castle in a hurry.

A trace of curiosity arose in his heart.

"Then let's go and have a look." Zoro thought.

"It's been almost ten days since I came to this world, and I haven't gone out to take a closer look at my territory."

He was hanging so far behind Kahn and the others.

Slowly walked out of the castle surrounded by stone walls.

In fact, there were not many actual working serfs in the Isis Barony.

But include their parents, wives and children.

The population has also exceeded the two hundred mark.

They often deal with personal hygiene in dark corners outside the house and dump domestic sewage wantonly.

This caused the small village surrounding the castle to be enveloped in a foul smell.

"Boom~"

"It stinks."

This is not the case.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the castle wall, Zoro was covered in his nose by the stench outside.

This is his first time leaving the castle.

But the backward social conditions and poor hygiene awareness.

It made his originally good mood become a little gloomy.

Zoro held his breath and walked quickly on the dirt road in the village outside the castle.

He tried to speed up his pace and reduce the number of breaths he took along the way.

The lingering stench made him just want to leave this serf residential area as quickly as possible.

In the early morning, there were no other unnecessary people in the village except the old, sick and disabled people lying in the house.

Most of the labor force in the village went to work in the farmland outside the village.

The farmer was cultivating the fields, while the peasant woman was holding a baby who could not walk beside him.

And the energetic little boys?

They were chasing each other in the fields or picking up shells on the beach and wild fruits in the woods.

"Hmm~"

“The air outside is really good!”

Fortunately, the village was not very big, and Zoro walked out of the wooden wall surrounding the village within a short time.

He took a deep breath of pure natural "haze-free pure oxygen".

Drain the turbid air from the lungs.

Looking from a distance at the running figures of the guards under the rising sun.

"That's my lost youth!"

Zoro had to sigh.

The guard is about to disappear from his sight.

He didn't care to continue pretending to be intoxicated, and quickly followed him.

At this time, he was in the northeast of the Barony of Isis.

In a field near an unknown hill.

Hum ~ Hum ~ Hum ~

Three huge wild boars were roaming the fields with more than a dozen cubs.

The golden wheat that originally stood upright was staggered by the giant wild boars of this family.

They were eating the wheat that was about to mature in the field like hungry ghosts.

The wheat in the fields is rapidly decreasing.

On the other side of the field, a small group of serfs gathered.

"Damn it, isn't Captain Kahn here yet?"

Wayne's dark face was flushing red, and he looked at the wild boars in the distance with excitement.

Because the food eaten by these big wild boars was the result of his hard work for half a year.

He usually regards the food growing in this land as more important than his own children.

"Wayne, please think of a solution quickly."

"If there is no other way, our food will be eaten by those beasts."

Standing next to Wayne, a middle-aged woman was crying and said with excitement.

Claire's rough, calloused hands from years of hard work were squeezing Wayne's arm tightly.

She is Wayne's wife.

The two had three children within twenty years of their marriage.

This makes the lives of families who were not already wealthy even more difficult.

Originally, she and Wayne were looking forward to this year's bumper harvest, which would somewhat alleviate the dire situation at home.

But who would have thought?

Farmland that was fine yesterday.

When they arrived today, they found that a lot of damage had been done by big wild boars.

If no one comes to stop them.

Their family may not even be able to pay this year's winter taxes.

Behind her stood two children about four or five years old.

These are twins who look very similar.

The same face, the same hair color, and even the expressions are surprisingly the same.

They were holding their mother's left and right legs respectively, looking curiously at the big wild boar in the distance.

The twins, who are not yet mentally mature, have no idea.

This incident had a huge impact on my parents.

As the backbone of the family, Wayne was also under tremendous pressure at this time.

His spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his bitten mouth.

The rough and strong hands made a crunching sound when pinched.

He stared at the big wild boar in the distance with his eyes wide open.

The chattering words of other serfs kept coming to my ears.

How much Wayne hoped that the scene in front of him was just a nightmare.

As soon as he wakes up from the nightmare, everything will be different.

"Come on, stinking wild boar."

"come."

Behind the crowd.

A boy about eight or nine years old squeezed his way out of the crowd.

I saw him holding a sharpened wooden spear in his hand, rushing towards the big wild boar that was eating in the field.

ah!

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

Wayne and Claire did not react in time to stop their eldest son from committing suicide.

"Marco."

"Come back quickly, you are no match for the big wild boar."

When Wayne saw the stupid thing his eldest son had done, he instantly became a little angry and roared.
