It is the harvest season now. In the fields, the villagers are busy working. After observing along the way, Lin Xiaoman came to the conclusion that this place is ominous and shrouded in dark clouds.
It was obvious that it was because of the monster. The villagers were trembling with fear and had no intention of working at all.
After walking along the path leading into the village for another quarter of an hour, a few people on horseback came towards us. After meeting each other, the two sides stopped.
The leader of the group on horseback simply saluted and said, "Ms. Erica."
"Hello, Knight Commander Jeremy." Lin Xiaoman responded with a polite smile.
This Jeremy is the captain of the guard of my cheap dad Sidney. He has the highest combat power in the guard team, and his combat power is roughly at the level of a special forces soldier.
"Miss Erica, please follow me. The master is waiting for you in the village." Jeremy looked solemn and defensive, as if he felt that this place was unsafe. While speaking, he looked at the setting red sun several times.
"Jeremy, are there really monsters here?"
Riding side by side on horseback, Lin Xiaoman asked with both concern and curiosity.
"Maybe. It's still under investigation." Jeremy looked worried and concerned, and clearly had no desire to talk.
Lin Xiaoman asked a few more questions, but the answers she got were very perfunctory, so she stopped asking.
After riding along the road for less than ten minutes, a small village appeared at the end of the road.
On the outskirts of the village, there are wooden chevaux de frise with extremely sharp tips. This makeshift defense surrounds the entire village tightly.
Seeing them coming back, the knights guarding the sturdy entrance pulled aside the two barricades on the road leading to the village, and a group of people rode into the village.
The village is full of one- or two-story houses built of stone and wood, which are very quaint.
After walking along the road in the village for a while, you will reach the tallest building in the village, a five-story house.
This was once the Empire's church, but after the Federation was established, the church was abolished and the best building in the village became an administrative office building.
When Lin Xiaoman arrived, his cheap father Sidney was already waiting at the door.
Seeing her, Sidney's expression was very complicated, with anger, helplessness, and more of worry. "Erica, you shouldn't have come. Hey, it's late today. I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow morning."
"Father, I know everything!" Lin Xiaoman began to act out her acting quotient, her expression filled with worry and determination. "I want to stay. I want to fight the monsters with you! We are father and daughter. We have to face danger together!"
"Erica, you..."
Sidney sighed helplessly and subconsciously glanced at the setting sun hanging in the sky. He sighed and said slowly, "Come in, it's dinner time now. Ika, you take everyone to eat."
Everyone got off their horses, and Ika, the village chief of Selli, called the knights brought by Lin Xiaoman and took everyone to the big restaurant.
Lin Xiaoman followed Sidney, and his brother Virgil followed as well. Noticing someone, Sidney asked in confusion, "Erica, is this the knight protecting you?"
"Father, this is Virgil. Do you think he looks like your uncle?" Lin Xiaoman hurriedly asked.
"Uh..." Sydney was surprised and stopped in his tracks. He looked at Long Jiujiu carefully, "You..."
"My father's name is Barrett." After nodding in greeting, Long Jiujiu lied with his eyes open. "Unfortunately, my father passed away a few years ago, so he can't meet you."
Sidney's younger brother is called Barrett. This is the information about this character that Lin Xiaoman found out from the corner of his memory after carefully searching through it.
"You're Barrett's son!!" Sidney was even more surprised. He was stunned for several seconds before he sighed with relief, "Good, good, you're already this big. That's great."
Sidney had no suspicion at all, and Long Jiujiu just passed the clear path and sat at the Hedi family's dining table.
During the meal, Lin Xiaoman asked about the situation.
Cheap dad Sidney said this: A few days ago, the administrator of Selley, the village chief Ika, sent him a letter for help, saying that monsters appeared in the village, many people died, and the villagers were in panic and stopped working.
Selley is the largest grain-producing area in the entire Horis. If the autumn harvest is affected, many people will starve to death when winter comes. There is no other way, Sidney can only bring armed forces to protect safety and hunt monsters.
This is what the village chief Ika said.
The origin of everything started twenty days ago. That morning, several villagers tied up a fool and went to the office of the village chief Ika.
The village idiot had a high fever when he was little, which damaged his brain. He had the IQ of a 2 or 3-year-old. After his grandfather died, no one cared about him. Although he was stupid, he was strong and a good worker, so the villagers raised him and kept him working.
Although the fool was stupid, he never caused trouble. But this time, several villagers said that they saw him outside the village covered in blood. They suspected that he had killed someone, so they tied him up.
Ika asked, but the fool couldn't express himself clearly. He just kept shouting "Kill, kill... Save..." and pointed in the direction of the mountain with a frightened look.
Realizing that something was wrong, Ika took two knights from the village guard and several villagers, and followed the fool up the mountain to check the situation. Then the group went to the house built by the hunters on the mountain.
At this time, the rest room was in a mess, and it was obvious that a fight had taken place. There were bloodstained pieces of clothing and some tissue fragments left.
