Section 4: Difficult Life, Successfully Passed ()

Alos sat on the bench in the tavern, his brows tangled and unable to make a decision. Recalling Old Seru's words, his lifeless eyes were filled with deathly silence and despair.

"Mr. Seru, are you looking for me?" Alos walked into Seru's living room.

"Little Alos, sit down and talk! Is little Mishal okay?" Old Sailu lowered his voice and looked a little sad.

"It's okay." Alos sat awkwardly on the chair, a little at a loss.

"Little Alos, let me tell you the truth!" The tavern owner and village chief stared at the nervous Alos, "You should know that winter is coming soon, and the person who will stay behind this year has not yet been decided. What are your plans?"

"Mr. Seru, aren't we the ones who usually stay behind?" Alos stood up and asked loudly with some excitement.

"Sit down, little Alos! If William were still alive, of course I wouldn't worry about this matter, but now that William is gone, the villagers are panicking about who will stay behind. We can't wait any longer. This matter must be It needs to be decided as soon as possible." Sailu said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Sir, what is your decision?"

"I have decided that there will be no more manned garrison this winter."

"No! Mr. Sailu! You can't do this. My sister is too weak and can't bear the wind and cold on the road..." Alos looked panicked.

"Little Alos! You should understand these people, none of them want to stay. If I arrange it, the people who stay will vent their anger on you brothers and sisters."

"Then my sister and I will stay, Mr. Seru! Please!" Alos begged.

"Little Alos! Don't act nonsense, otherwise you and little Misha will be killed. The hungry goblins will not let these two poor children go." Old Sailu was a little angry.

"But Mishal will die if we return to Miraba. She is too weak to survive Mibara. Wuwuwuwu..." Alos lay on the table and cried sadly.

Old Sailu looked at the crying Alos and almost agreed. However, he thought that once he agreed, both brothers and sisters would definitely die. If they left, at least Alos could survive. One death is better than both of them; so Old Sailu Lu hardened his heart and persuaded:

"Things are not as bad as imagined. Maybe little Mishal can survive until Miraba. When we get to Miraba, we can find a priest to treat little Mishal. Little Mishal may get better!" Old Sailu I have never felt so guilty. Please forgive me, little Alos.

"This matter is settled. I will announce this decision to everyone tomorrow morning." Old Sailu almost ran away.

"But we don't have money and can't afford a priest." Alos was silent and despairing. As a fourteen-year-old child who had just lost his brother and now watched his sister embark on a desperate road, he was almost completely collapsed.

In the winter in the Northland, it snows heavily and it is difficult to travel. No business travelers will pass through Nome Village anymore. When the first snow begins to fall in winter, most people in Nome Village will rush back to Miraba City to avoid the severe cold and monsters. Harassment. Nome Village will leave one or two people as winter watchers to guard the village to prevent the cold and hungry goblins from turning the village into their lairs and ruins. But most people are not willing to leave a warm, comfortable and safe castle alone. Risking the cold in such an uninhabited ghost place, you may lose your life if you are not careful. At first, William's adoptive father (a lame old man) served as the winter watcher of this village. After the old man's death, William's three brothers and sisters took over the old man's work. , William's strength and little Alos' intelligence are enough to do this job. Originally, William was going to randomly select two people from the militia to stay, and anyone could have a turn. Now that William is back alive, everyone has no need. You will suffer if you stay, which is why the two militiamen at the door were "over-enthusiastic" towards Chen Jinyang.

The militiaman who had just finished his shift happily walked into the tavern. Seeing Alos half-dead, he asked excitedly: "Little Alos! Why are you still sitting here? Why don't you go home quickly and take a look? William is back!"

Alos lay half-dead on the table: "What does it have to do with me when William comes back... What did you say?! William! You... please make it clear!!! My brother is back alive?! You...!! I...!" !" Alos jumped three feet high like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he was excited and incoherent. The bench under his butt was kicked off and hit the feet of the militiamen who came over. He hugged his feet in pain. Straight grin:

"Ouch! Alos!! Ouch! I kindly told you the news about William, but you hit me with a bench! Ouch! Ouch! It hurts me so much! Alos, you little bastard"

Alos ignored him and hurried home after leaving the tavern. The excitement and excitement in his heart when he first heard the good news and survived the desperate situation made Alos' heart almost burst out of his chest. With the fiery pulse, , Alos' pale skin bloomed with bright red, and his whole body was steaming with heat. Unfortunately, no one noticed this change, and even Alos, who was in a state of excitement, did not notice. In less than a minute, that wave of The heat almost set him on fire.

Chen Jinyang walked to the door of his house with a bucket and was about to open the door, when he saw a smoky figure running over. Chen Jinyang wondered who was playing out of boredom, so he reflexively picked up the bucket and poured a bucket of water over it, creating a burst of mist. Heat. Alos, who was almost unconscious because of the cold water, woke up and stared blankly at Chen Jinyang, who was carrying an empty bucket.

Chen Jinyang saw clearly who was coming, and it was bad! He splashed his brother. It seemed that his blood had awakened just now. He didn't know if there would be any sequelae after drinking this bucket of water. Chen Jinyang, who was a little embarrassed, touched his head and pretended to smile, and looked at Alos, who was thin and thin, started to cry. Chen Jinyang panicked a little and poured a bucket of water over him to cry. It was not a big deal.

Chen Jinyang couldn't help but feel a little dizzy as he hugged the fiery-haired boy who also threw himself into his arms and cried and made noises for a while. Now he was also asleep.

"They are indeed brothers and sisters. Even their sleeping patterns are exactly the same. It's troublesome." Chen Jinyang, who was deeply moved, did not know that the two brothers and sisters had not slept well in the past two days because they were worried about him. Now that they are worried, they naturally feel sleepy. He fell asleep after feeling extremely tired. But thanks to Chen Jinyang's bucket of water, Alos awakened his fire bloodline due to excitement. Without that drop of temperature, although the internal heat would not kill him, it would be enough to turn him into another person. A fool.

Chen Jinyang carried the angry-haired boy into the house, took off his wet clothes, dried him, stuffed him into another sleeping bag, and covered him with a wool blanket. Looking at the two sleeping children, Chen Jinyang began to feel worried. With two weak children, he still I have to pretend to be a fool and survive in this dangerous and backward wild world. I will definitely have a hard time in the future. Alas! Just take it one step at a time.

Chen Jinyang filled another bucket of water and slowly washed the horn helmet he got from the goblin leader. The helmet was very light, had a nose guard on the front, and was made of an unknown dark gray crystal. It had two curved horns on the top. They are not horns either. They are crystal clear and moist with complex and mysterious textures. They fit perfectly with the main body of the helmet as if they were growing together. If it were not for the obviously different materials, one would have thought they were formed as a whole. The clean helmet is exquisite and unique, and it is simply a perfect piece of art. It is absolutely a sacrilege to wear it on the head of a goblin. I really don’t know where those goblins got this treasure.

(At this moment, in a mysterious mage tower somewhere, a great mage is cruelly abusing his goblin slaves: "You despicable, shameless, greedy lower creatures, ungrateful thieves, don't let me find the shameful one who escaped.

Slave, I will make its soul into an undead and burn it on the underworld flame, so that it can repent for its mistakes in eternal pain.")

Chen Jinyang was playing with the horn helmet in his hand (let's call it a horn helmet for now). When he heard the footsteps outside, he stuffed the helmet under the bed, sat on the bed and continued to pretend to be innocent. He had a short beard and a tall nose.

A strong middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in, but it was Sailu, the owner of the tavern. Sailu was stunned when he saw Chen Jinyang first. He was even more surprised when he saw Alos and Xiao Mishaer sleeping soundly. He waved his hand to Chen Jinyang and said: "

William! Come out!" Chen Jinyang knew that he was the leader here, and when he saw him making gestures, he followed him out of the house. This kind of experienced adult was not easy to fool, so Chen Jinyang thought about how to pass this last hurdle.

Taking Chen Jinyang to the stable, although he was suspicious of the description given by his men, Sailu still wanted to find out for sure with William himself, even though William might not be able to answer: "William, what happened in the forest?" He looked and touched.

Chen Jinyang, who had a silly smile on his head, said nothing for a long time, and shook his head helplessly. Then he pointed at Chen Jinyang's head and asked, "What's wrong with your head?"

Chen Jinyang felt a little guilty. Seeing Sailu pointing at his head and not knowing what to ask, he thought to himself: Are you asking where my hair went? This is easy to handle.

Sailu didn't expect William to answer. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw William making strange movements: he first made a head-hugging pose, then fluttered around as if his whole body was on fire, and finally made a head-hugging pose again; after Chen Jinyang did this

He rubbed his head and started to giggle.

Sailu looked like he suddenly understood: "Oh! You were afraid to run away at first. When you were chased by the ogre, you were so scared that your body suddenly caught fire. Then the ogre was scared away, and you lost your hair and hid. Finally, you came back.

Went to the camp and moved the adventure team's things back." Sailu looked at Chen Jinyang with a pity expression as expected:

"William, you have indeed awakened the warlock bloodline. What a pity! It would be better if you were a normal person. Alas!"

Chen Jinyang still kept rubbing his head and smiling like he had for thousands of years. This guy changed his face and started gibbering and sighing. Did he understand what I was doing? Impossible! I don’t even know what it meant.

Chen Jinyang was dragged by Sai Lu and talked about for a while. He washed the dust off his body, found some clothes from the tavern's living room and changed into them. He followed the villagers in the village and had dinner in the tavern - large pieces of bread and potato stew.

, everyone came over to say hello to him while eating, and touched Chen Jinyang’s sunny head. Chen Jinyang’s face was stiff and everyone smiled silly in response.
