Nicholas did not remarry after his wife's death. Instead, he adopted several orphans and left his inheritance to them. However, after his death, several people who were originally brothers and sisters immediately turned against each other and fought against each other.
Broken blood flow.
In the end, the eldest son in the family, who was also the only cultivator in the family, won. His younger brothers "died of illness" and died among the White Witch flower vines in the basement.
However, the eldest son does not have the courage of his adoptive father, and to be honest, this village is just a place where people make a living by selling medicinal materials. Moreover, the Eighth World generally has simple folk customs, and with the shadow of his father, he usually does not
There was no invasion. However, the corpses of monsters hunted by the villagers alone were not enough to support the production of white witch flowers.
Therefore, the clever eldest son had a bit of his mother's research spirit, and soon discovered one thing: the White Witch Flower likes the flesh and blood of human women very much, and its efficiency is far higher than that of Warcraft and Demons.
When they heard this, everyone in the room had pursed their lips tightly, and there was no trace of relaxation.
Because it is not difficult to imagine what happened next. It was nothing more than the "Witch Trial" drama that should have been played to death long ago. Innocent girls were sent to the altar. Some of them were just innocent passers-by passing by, but more
They are still local residents. After all, if there are many lost people outside, there will always be someone to check.
In this way, the Nikolai family rules this village. Which girl deserves to die and which girl can survive is all decided by them. Generation after generation, no one can resist. After all, the White Witch Flower is not picky about food, even if she is not a woman.
eat.
Moreover, as the village developed better and better and became a small town later, the Nikolai family became tolerant to most of the townspeople. After all, although the Witch Trial has a good reputation, it should not be too high-profile.
, so that the new people who moved in later didn’t even know about the dirty things underneath.
What’s even more interesting is that anyone who comes to live here will be more likely to have daughters, so although girls are disappearing, there are no more boys than girls. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, or the White Witch Flower decided to do so because of this.
Born here.
"What happened next?" As if his throat was choked by the smell of blood in these words, the room fell into silence for a while before Ellenpi asked, "How were they terminated?"
Since there was a fire, it naturally means that someone took action, and the White Witch Flower disappeared a hundred years ago, which may be the reason for this.
"I was still very young at that time, so I don't remember anything. I heard everything from my mother later. She said that a girl was once married in the village. After she passed away, her son sent her ashes to her roots," the village chief said.
, "I should call that man uncle. He is from outside. Unlike us, he has a sense of justice, so he burned down the house of the Nikolai family and sent all the villains to death."
shelf."
However, this town cannot live without a manager, and that person will not stay in the town forever, and he was able to discover the secrets of the Nicholas family mainly because of the help of a few equally upright and reliable people in the town. So he was able to discover the secrets of the Nicholas family.
He promoted one of them to become the mayor, and the rest served as assistants. He built an office on the ruins before drifting away.
However, without the White Witch Flower, those people could not find any new source of income. In the end, the town declined and was downgraded to a village. The new office building also collapsed. The original mayor was older than
When he grew up, he was very sad about his powerlessness, so he left the responsibility to the junior whom he trusted very much, that is, the young village chief.
"Everyone says I have abilities, but what abilities do I have?" The village chief smiled at himself, "Moreover, not everyone was opposed to the sacrifice at the beginning. Although the Nicholas family is gone,
There were other people who were secretly trying to make a move, but I suppressed them."
It turns out that when the village chief first took office, there was nothing he could do. However, good news came out at this time, that is, after so many years, the poisonous miasma in the nearby wetlands has finally disappeared.
It's just that the fog is thicker, but it won't affect people's health.
Therefore, the village chief organized the villagers to enter the wetland. Unlike the barren mountains, the wetland has many strange flowers and plants. Although the number is not as stable as the white witch flower and the price is high, it still supports the village's economy.
Of course, the village chief still hasn't figured out how the poisonous miasma disappeared. He can only attribute it to God's blessing.
He didn't know, but Yi Liuling knew. After all, as mentioned earlier, the Numatong clan lived in this place. Unlike ordinary kappas who have mysophobia to a certain extent, the Numatong clan also had a strange hobby, which was to live in
A rather dirty place.
The top of Kappa's head has the ability to purify, but for most Kappa, it is just a means of self-protection, because changing the water on the top of the head is not as simple as changing the water in a vase. If you are not careful, you may die. The purification ability of the Numa Tong clan is even more powerful.
, and they also like to purify some things, so they will specifically choose such places that are either poisonous or dirty.
Like the land on the mountain, the wetlands here have actually been polluted by evil spirits, and the kappa clan's talent is the same as that of unicorns, which happens to be able to purify evil spirits. This is why the relationship between kappas and humans is pretty good, after all, other people
The monsters killing demons cannot reduce the degree of integration between the two worlds, but the unicorn kappa can, and they are allies that the human race cares about very much.
In short, the poisonous miasma did not disappear, but was evolved into a dense fog by the Marsh Boy clan. Therefore, they are the real benefactors of this village, but they are feared by them just because of their ugly appearance, which is really pitiful.
According to the village chief and the records passed down from generation to generation in the village, even the mother flower of the White Witch Flower will wither and die without enough food. In fact, there has been no missing girl in this village for a long time, so then
It means that the female flower that Yi Liuling and the others saw was newly cultivated.
"I don't know how to cultivate mother flowers. Maybe only the deceased Nikolay knows." When several people asked how new flowers are born, the village chief shook his head, "But I remember that the earliest time was half a year ago.
, someone disappeared again in the village, but because the fog also spread, I just thought it was the monster in the wetland that did it, and didn’t think about it in this regard. "
Having said this, the village chief also showed a tired look. Seeing that they could ask no more questions, they left wisely.
When they walked out of the village chief's house, Chunyi, the little boy in charge of seeing them off, suddenly said something to them.
