Chapter 219 If you have any questions, ask the village chief
Others may not have noticed it just now, but from Yi Liuling's perspective, he happened to find a route that was completely unobstructed by the vines, so he saw clearly what the White Witch Flower did to those adventurers - it stuffed the seeds into each
In their mouths, they obviously intend to use these people as petri dishes.
Therefore, their death time should be when the White Witch Flower matures.
"I see," Ellenpi nodded, not knowing what he was thinking of, and suggested, "But before leaving, we should explore the situation in the village."
He was the first person to come here. Of course, he tried to ask the villagers, but no matter how hard he knocked on the door, the houses would not open. Some villagers even got tired of throwing things from the windows and hit him. Of course, because of Ellenpi's injurious constitution
, it was the perpetrator who was knocked unconscious.
Therefore, their target was the tavern owner. In November, he had not encountered any strange events yet, so he naturally had no clue. However, it was different now.
Several people returned to the tavern and found that the situation had changed. The tavern owner, who was obviously very haggard, was pouring wine for Haidilaoyue with a very respectful attitude.
"What's going on?" Yi Liuling walked in and asked.
Haidilaoyue drank a large glass of beer boldly, then put down the glass and said to a few people: "I don't know, he became like this when he heard that I was a relative of the nearby Zhutong clan.
Already."
"Please be sure to have a nice word with your relatives," the tavern owner said quietly, "let this fog dissipate and let us go."
"Huh? We don't have the ability to summon the fog." Hai Laoyue was surprised.
The boss obviously didn't believe it and defended: "But, I have asked people in the village. The fog in the village is exactly the same as that in the nearby wetland, and some people have witnessed humanoid creatures coming out of the swamp there before.
I’m controlling the fog here.”
"Don't people in the village keep their doors closed?" Jonathan asked, "Who did you talk to?"
"Ah, some adults don't know something." The tavern owner recognized the school uniforms of these people. "Although most of the villagers in the village are unwilling to talk to anyone, as an employee sent here by the Chamber of Commerce, the village chief still has to receive me.
Yes, I learned about it from his mouth."
Oh? Village chief?
Several people exchanged glances: "Can you tell us about this village chief?"
The tavern owner nodded, asked a few people to sit down and poured water for them, and then said slowly: "This village is basically composed of ordinary people who cannot practice, but they seem to have some exercise methods that have been handed down.
, but you can develop some strength."
This is not surprising to everyone. After all, judging from the history of the White Witch Flower, there must have been strong people in this village in the past, and maybe they were the original owners of the ruins. Since there are strong people, then leave some for ordinary people.
The way people exercise is also very normal, and this is what some infinite academies do.
"The village chief is over 120 years old this year. He is considered to have an extremely long life among ordinary people. And even though he is skinny and skinny, he is still very strong. Of course, he can't beat me." The tavern owner still couldn't beat me.
I forgot to praise myself, but he wasn't bragging, because the selection criteria for the tavern owner is that the safer the area, the more emphasis is placed on business ability, and the more remote the area, the more powerful it is.
For example, the real Kate's father was begging for food from Queen Lilith, and his strength was basically close to that of a school lecturer, so his daughter was naturally quite strong.
"Ahem," however, as soon as the tavern owner finished speaking, he remembered that the group of people in front of him were students from Suojia High School. Although they were still freshmen, they were not necessarily worse than him. He immediately blushed and brought the topic back, "He can count."
He was a capable man, and he is half responsible for the fact that this village has not disappeared until now. However, his life was very hard. His wife died young, leaving only a demented son."
Having said this, he looked back at the kitchen.
"That chef is his son?" Yi Liuling asked.
The tavern owner said in surprise: "Hey, how did you know? I didn't even let Dasha show up."
"It's okay, it's not important, just keep talking." Yi Liuling said immediately.
The tavern owner didn't suspect anything, nodded and continued: "Dasha looked like he didn't want to have a child, so later the village chief decided to let him adopt an orphan in the village to continue his legacy. However, the child was quite clever, and now
He's only ten years old, and I heard from the village chief that he plans to send him to a better junior high school when he gets older."
"In other words, your relationship with the village chief is not limited to the Chamber of Commerce," Kun Yi grasped the key point, "So can he answer some of our questions?"
"Of course," the tavern owner nodded, "I'll tell you where his home is, and you can just mention my name when you go to visit."
Obviously, the current tavern owner has lost the courage to walk out of the tavern. This small house is his only shelter in the fog, and it is impossible for him to lead a few people.
Yi Liuling and the others didn't force him. They already had the information, so it would be a good idea to pay him a visit now.
Following the tavern owner's instructions, several people found the village chief's house. From the outside, this house was no different from other houses. It seemed that the village chief did not live a more luxurious life because of his high position.
Ellenpi went to knock on the door, but there was still no response. He had to say loudly: "Hello, we are sent by the pub."
At this time, the door opened, and a short boy blinked his round eyes and looked at several people with a slightly wary attitude.
"Chun Yi, let them in." A hoarse but energetic voice came from the room.
The little boy named Chunyi took a few steps back and made way for the aisle.
A few people just walked into the small living room, and then they saw the village chief himself.
The village chief was lying on a recliner next to the fireplace. Although the recliner was one size smaller than normal, he still looked very "petite" on it. This man who might once have been tall and strong has now shrunk into a human body.
The living mummy was somewhat similar to the one-eyed little girl Sherson had described.
The village chief opened his eyes and looked at them. His eyes were also cloudy. They did not have the sharp eyes of thinkers in the same situation, but instead looked very gentle and warm.
"Is he an outsider?" the village chief said with a smile, "Since you have friendship with him, then just ask him whatever you want."
"Okay," Yi Liuling asked straight to the point, "I want to know about the ruins and the white witch flower."
Hearing this question, the village chief suddenly sat up and coughed violently because he moved too quickly. It took him a while to recover: "Oh, you have done evil. I have already said that they will have their retribution... That's all. It doesn't hurt to tell you."
