"That's it." Nesse said, "You can take care of yourself from now on."
He knew very well that he should turn around and disappear on the spot, without giving anything else a chance to happen or anyone to beg.
If Cha or Winnie would do this.
He can totally do it.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
The big moon is still in the sky. The villagers who had turned into moon zombies had not gone far. They formed a confrontation thirty to fifty meters apart. From time to time, eyes with flashing blue light glanced over here.
They all stood at the intersection of Bitter Wind Village entering the forest. Mist-like exhaustion sprayed from the horse's nose, the goons' eyes shone with glimmers of uneasiness, and everyone's expressions dimly illuminated by the firelight and mana were uncertain.
Walk eastward along the road, first passing by the Flame Cave, then leaving the forest and passing through a hilly area. After passing through a small desert with flat sand and little threat, you can approach a border fortress in the Kingdom of Bochi, where the population officer The team can be regarded as completely entering their own safe area.
But unless they want to take another road - follow the small fork road branching off the edge of the forest and wind into another small nest, there is Tianfeng Village, and there are other villages scattered further away.
"You want to leave?"
Stewart touched his hat - the beautiful feather had been burned to the ground, but he still subconsciously picked at the root of the feather that had melted into a pile of charred coals. "We will be killed. Kill them all. They recognize nothing. And they are very, very powerful... You see, only you can deal with them..."
"If you go back the way you came, you won't be killed," Nesse said. At the same time, I wonder why I am still here. "We can do the census again after a while, no. You just don't want to come again."
It's because of the sticky feeling.
A sticky feeling brought about by the desire to survive emerged from the people around him, targeting his little vanity and sympathy, and clinging to him.
"I know. I swear, I know what you mean..."
Stewart approached Nese and lowered his voice, "I have also thought about doing a little trick on the statistics table - absolutely! If possible, we are definitely not willing to trouble you!
But you see, this time it says that it is indeed an order directly issued by the king. He takes it very seriously and will personally review it with his group of mages. We are not allowed to make small adjustments... All records must be true and reliable. Will check. "
"The inspection will be very strict." The population officer rubbed his hands. "There are many methods that we don't know about..."
Nesse looked into the mouth officer's bloodshot gray-green eyes.
Indeed, there are ways that they don't know. he thought.
"I can't take you to other villages now." Nesse paused for a second and said, "What I can do is cover you to a place where you can stay. A safe place to spend tonight - maybe more than just tonight. Then follow As you wish."
He looked at the people surrounding him.
Each of them is a purebred person. Usually they think they are noble, but now they are weak. At first, they complained a few words and asked Stewart why they, as Bochi's civil servants, should listen to this passer-by.
Surprisingly enough, Salter was completely on Nesse's side, scolding his men - maybe that's why he was the grown-up and the others weren't.
Now only one or two people still showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and most of them looked at him uneasily, like frightened birds, ready to cooperate with any wave of bullying he might launch - just like they would do if they had the conditions. .
This expectation...
"If you want to check the population in the future, then find a good time for yourself." Neese said, "But remember. Don't tease those mixed-race villagers anymore. Don't do unnecessary harm, it will only serve You invite disaster.”
He emphasized his tone, put a finger in front of Stewart's face, and shook it - there was no need to make a special expression at all, he knew very well that no matter what expression he made at this time, it would be interpreted as enigmatic.
"You know. There are ways you don't know."
"That's right. You're right." Stewart said with a low eyebrow.
"Follow me now." Nese waved his hand and took the lead towards the road deep into the forest.
He walked very fast, without any intention of looking back to take care of anyone, but everyone was busy keeping up.
…
The moon zombies followed them far behind, armed with farm tools and homemade weapons.
Not only their skills, but their intelligence also seems to have improved over time. After several failed attacks, they seemed to have realized the futility of blind attacks, and also realized the key role Nesse played among these people.
Write a book
They are just waiting now, maintaining their posture, waiting for his mistakes to reveal flaws.
Nese knew this very well.
He couldn't always be here, always protecting everyone who was getting sleepier and more tired, and he couldn't always be there without accidentally hurting the villagers.
You need to find a suitable place to set up defenses, some objective, solid, and impersonal facilities and magic circles. They are more reliable than he is.
He walked forward along the road. The big moon illuminated the gaps between the shadows clearly, and the crows cawed like a chaotic funeral procession.
"Where are you taking us?" someone asked fearfully.
"Fire Cave, quarry." Nesse replied.
This is considered an option.
The Yan Cave should be the place where the power of the bright moon is the weakest in the entire Yueluo Land.
In addition, the place itself should have various living facilities, he only needs to do a little processing on it.
No one knows the road, but there is no problem in following the road signs - some of the road signs are still very new, with red paint dragons and phoenixes painted with flame patterns, which is undoubtedly the handiwork of Lieyan Dru Yin.
Fiery flames. A vibrant new faith in the Land of Moonfall.
It is slowly produced from the source of Yan Cave. It should actually be Mingyue's enemy - obviously, many people no longer remember this.
After the original land where the moon never sets was destroyed by Yin Fo Mie, it went through a long low ebb period until someone discovered that the fire stone in Yan Cave was an excellent energy material.
A young man proposed to mine and trade the firestone, which could also be used as a condition of negotiation with the increasingly powerful Kingdom of Bochi.
"The point is to take action before others do it." For some reason, Nesse could fully imagine the words used to persuade at that time.
Mingyue Druyin at that time was naturally firmly opposed to this, which was neither in line with Mingyue's beliefs nor Drewyin's rules of conduct.
But by the time they discovered this, it was too late.
At some point (the Mingyue Druyin people wondered afterward, could this be all the work of that young man?), other races from the surrounding areas flowed in, and the bloodline became chaotic. Someone among the Mingyue Druyin betrayed their trust, and people from the Chamber of Commerce actually secretly infiltrated Where the moon sets, with smiles and gifts...
Many terrible facts were discovered one after another, and each one was a weight that tipped the scales in people's hearts.
Quarry was built, and young people no longer competed to be followers of the bright moon, but were recruited as quarry workers.
Although the road here was tortuous, the "four legs" of the Chamber of Commerce still established contact with the quarry. That young man, the first flame Dru Yin of the Moonset Land, served as the protector of the land and factory affairs in the Flame Cave. Officials have naturally become a bridge of communication with the Chamber of Commerce.
The flames grew stronger.
The big moon never rises again, until today.
For now, it's bright again.
For a newborn survey?
