Chapter 43: The Rampantness of Thieves in Troubled Times
Zero and Aqal have been on the road for three days, but there is still one day to go from the estimated location.
They discussed along the way that if Yue Chuo and others survived as expected and were brought to the coast by the current, then if no one was injured, they would not stay where they were, but would head towards Solde.
.So every time they encountered a village, the two of them would go there to inquire about the missing people.
The villages they passed on the first day were better. But on the second day, wherever they passed, they found that they were in a mess. Most of the villages were in a state of decay and dilapidation. When the villagers saw them riding into the villages, they were frightened.
, hurriedly evaded.
After a long explanation, some brave villagers came out and told them that the village had been robbed by thieves not long ago. And the farther to the southwest, the more rampant the thieves were. Seeing that the two were not evil, the villagers advised them not to go south along the coast.
The two of them would not listen to the advice. Instead, they became more worried about the safety of Yue Chuo and others and hurried on their way.
As expected, the situation in the village became worse the further they traveled to the southwest. It was getting darker that day, and they found a village in front of them. They thought about going to stay overnight. However, when they ran closer, they saw that the entire village had been burned by fire, with scorch marks everywhere.
Corpses of dead people can be seen everywhere. Judging from their appearance, they are all innocent villagers, and their death conditions are horrific.
Although Ling was worried, he couldn't bear what he saw. He wanted to bury the villagers and then find a village house where he could stay for the night. It took the two of them nearly four hours to bury all the villagers, and it was almost midnight.
.
After searching for a while, they couldn't find any houses in the village where they could stay overnight. Moreover, the villagers died tragically for many days, and the stench in the village was nauseating. Thinking of the death of the villagers, the two felt uncomfortable, so they borrowed the moonlight to stay.
Se walked hurriedly for more than ten miles before lighting a bonfire and camping in a forest.
Aqer tied the two Tachyonosaurs to a nearby tree and took out a few pieces of dried meat from the skin bag hanging on the saddle and distributed them to the two dragons. Tachyonosaurs are omnivorous dragons. Although there are few dried meats, due to the proximity of the woods,
The sea, branches, leaves and green grass are still luxuriant, so you don't have to worry about your mount not having enough to eat.
Sitting down by the campfire and taking the bread from Ling, Aqer looked worried. Although he forced himself to eat, he chewed it in small bites, but still found it difficult to swallow.
She decided to leave her tribe and follow Yue Chuo precisely because of his identity that she deeply hated. But it was also this identity that made her see the hope of freedom. But the miserable situation of the villagers she just saw made her heart freeze as ice. Ruoda
The monster has encountered some unexpected situation, and his short-term hope will be shattered and he will be knocked back to his past.
"Didn't you say that he wanted to help the orcs gain freedom?" Ling seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said calmly, "If you think that a little storm will kill him, why do you still have expectations for him."
"But you have also seen the death of those villagers!" Aqier said sadly, "Even if they escaped from the sea, the thieves are cruel. If they encounter..., how can I not worry."
"You said he decided not to use magic. What happened?"
In fact, Zero was not worried at all. But facing this orc girl, if he showed his inner anxiety, he was afraid that the other party would fall completely into despair. But he really couldn't find any words of comfort, so he had to change the topic.
"I don't know either." Agel replied, "He just said that magic is too dangerous and there is no need to create new magic. And he has also decided that he will not use magic."
