Chapter 45: A Small Village on a Rainy Night
Because of heavy rain, many creatures hide in their nests to shelter from the rain, but a few creatures still leave the nests and come out to find food. Under normal circumstances, Green is happy to encounter this kind of experience value, but now Green just wants to set up a stall as soon as possible and arrive in the nearby village.
"Tsk! Mitcher, use the lighting technique, we accelerate to rush over." Green asked Mitcher to use the last lighting technique without hesitation, and then the group accelerated to rush over.
All living things cherish life, and those kinds of life-desirable creatures do not exist, so few nocturnal creatures will run to the light to attack humans, especially when the target has combat power and more than one person. Therefore, after Micheer used the lighting operation, the "magic source" in Shaqiya's mouth quickly gave up on Green and his group - animals all understand the principle of "no death, no death". Therefore, unless they are forced or confident to escape, they will not easily attack "combatable" humans.
Green and his group passed through the ambush of unknown creatures very smoothly.
The duration of the lighting technique is limited. After running for a while, the lighting technique is extinguished again and the world is once again in darkness.
Mitchell quickly grabbed Green's arm: "Former, senior, what should I do now?"
"Let's go slowly..." Green wiped the rain from his face and sighed, "It's not far."
There is a unit in the team that does not have extraordinary vision, which greatly drags down the team's progress speed, but fortunately it is not far from the destination at this time.
The Ramwood Village is a small village located on the edge of the Davin Forest. The slave belongs to the Port of Kapoor. It is located off the main road. The entire village has a population of only more than 100 people and has no specialties. Except for officials who come every year when tax collection, even travelers rarely visit.
It was already late at night when Green arrived at the village based on his memories of his past life and with the help of a systematic map.
It was a small village with a population of only over a hundred people. The wooden fence surrounded the entire village, and two braziers were placed under the canopy at the entrance of the village, dispelling the surrounding darkness and leaving nowhere for anyone or beast trying to get close to the village.
When Green and Shaqiya approached the village, they were immediately discovered by militia on the mail tower.
"Who?" The militia on the mail tower held their bows and arrows and aimed at the darkness where Green and his group were.
"We are travelers who escaped from the north. We wanted to take a night in the village because of heavy rain."
Green's words instantly attracted the attention of the militia: "Escape from the north? What happened in the north?"
"Well? Don't you know yet? A natural disaster broke out in the north, and many villages have fallen. Even the situation in Yon Town is not good."
"What!?"
Green was somewhat surprised that this village did not know about the natural disaster of the undead. However, considering that the village was not on the main road and ordinary refugees would not pass here at all, Green could understand it. Because the news brought by Green was so explosive! After a brief discussion with his teammates, the militia took Green and his group to the village home.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Village Chief! Village Chief!" The militia rudely knocked on the gate of the village chief's house and shouted.
Perhaps it was because the militia was too loud to wake up the child, and a baby cried out in the room.
Not long after, an old man, who looked almost fifty or sixty, held an oil lamp and opened the door: "Tom, can't you be lighter?"
"The village chief, these three foreigners have just arrived in the village and said that Yonn Town has fallen into the hands of the undead."
"What?" The village chief's eyes froze and he turned his eyes to Green and others, "You say that Jon Town was occupied by the undead?"
"In Green, these two are my companions. We have been traveling for a day in the rain, and it is cold and exhausted now. Do you have a hotel here?" Green never mentioned the undead.
The village chief stared at Green for a while, and observed Green and his group's clothes and dress. Green and his group looked very embarrassed, but the village elder's hot eyes could still see the identity of the people in front of him.
A priest of Mother of Earth, a maid with severely damaged clothes, and a teenager with proper conversation. The priest, maid, and teenager is involuntarily reminiscent of a scene in a legendary adventure story - a teenager in distress took his servant and followers, went through a lot of hardships, and finally regained his own territory and rebuilt his home.
"It seems that you have indeed experienced a lot of things." The village chief made way open the door, "There is no hotel in the village, you can rest for one night in my room."
As the village chief moved away from the door, Green finally saw clearly what was going on in the house.
It was a very spacious living room, with a somewhat church-like decoration. There was a small altar inside. Above the altar, the holy emblem of the God of Light, Pero, emitted a faint light.
"Can you help me prepare some food and hot water? I want to take a hot shower, otherwise I will get sick." Green took out a gold coin and handed it to the village chief.
The village chief looked at Green and his group and accepted the gold coins: "You need to wait for a while for hot water, please go to the room with me first." The village chief led Green and his group into the house, "There is only one room, but there are still many empty rooms. If you don't mind the floor shop, I can prepare another empty room for you."
Green: "Yeah, please trouble you."
"What happened in the north?" The village chief began to inquire about the situation in the north from Green.
"The situation is quite serious." Because the village chief has agreed to Green and his group stay here, Green did not hide this information. "It is known that Silver Leaf Town has been occupied by the undead, and Yon Town has also been surrounded by the undead. The specific situation is unknown."
"That's how..." the village chief frowned, "Is there something wrong with the Black Stone Fortress?"
"If there was a problem with the Black Stone Fortress, it would have been flooded by the undead." Green denied, "There should be some human nobles in the place who betrayed the kingdom and defected to the undead." Believe in the undead and gain eternal life. For human nobles, the temptation of immortality is not so easy to resist. If it weren't for the high cost and the sequelae, the undead would have been unified in the world long ago.
The village chief frowned slightly, thinking about how credible Green's words were.
Under the leadership of the village chief, Green and his group arrived at the attic on the second floor of the village chief's house.
It was a very simple room with nothing but a bed and a table.
The village chief lit an oil lamp in the room: "This is a guest room, and there is an empty room next to it. I'll have someone bring you a quilt later."
"Okay, please give me a hassle."
"It's okay." The village chief left the room after saying that.
Green went to the room next to take a look. The room next to him was completely empty, with nothing, but it was barely enough to be a temporary shelter from the wind and rain. Then the question came...
Who sleeps in the guest room and who sleeps in the empty room?
