Eric said: "Our place is really not a village... If you want to call it something... maybe this is our temporary residence... let's call it a settlement..."
Residential area? ? What a new word. . . Guo Zheng didn't understand after hearing this. .
So Guo Zheng continued to ask: "Excuse me, Mr. Eric, who are you? How did you get here? You said you live here temporarily... But I see that your houses are quite old..."
Eric sighed and said: "To tell you the truth...we were once members of the Holy Light Empire...but we were in a border town in the Holy Light Empire...still far away from the Holy Light City. ...But later on, wars often broke out on the border, and the border between the two countries was a place that neither side paid much attention to... This also easily breeds bandits, so there was no other way...We could only leave. That border town... wandering throughout the Holy Light Empire..."
Hearing this, Sun Qier started to get a little excited, because Sun Qier was also such a person. . Always alone. . Going from one foster home to another, that kind of feeling of being left behind and having no choice but to feel sad. . She knows best.
Eric continued: "Once we went north along the desert wilderness and came to this place called the Oss Mountains. As soon as we came here, we felt that this place was good. The scenery here is good, and there are a lot of prey, and as a mountainous area ... There are very few ferocious animals that live in groups in forests or plains, and there are also a lot of fruits here... So we planned to find a place to settle here."
At this time, Elsa very wisely brought some water and placed it in front of her father and Guo Zheng.
Eric took a brief sip from the water cup and continued: "Unfortunately, the weather does not follow people's wishes... It was a cold winter... We originally wanted to find a leeward place to camp to spend the winter... But who knows There are centaurs here... Those centaurs are all very bloodthirsty. When they saw us, they attacked us fiercely. At that time, we had no choice but to flee in all directions... If we all ran together... we would definitely be killed by those centaurs. All the people and horses were wiped out... So I took some of the people and started to escape... As we ran, we felt that the shouts of death from behind were getting farther and farther away from us... It was already dark at that time... We wanted to be safer Some... just rushed through the night desperately... hoping to get rid of them... We walked all the way through the Oss Mountains... and didn't even remember how far we had gone... until we calmed down. .The horizon has already turned white..."
"Could it be that... you were scattered by the centaurs, and then you kept walking at night... and finally ended up here?" Yi'er asked.
Eric nodded.
It seems that this world is really big and full of wonders. . . I ended up here by accident. .
Eric hugged Elsa and said: "We walked here, and then we were too tired... so we fell asleep directly on the ground... When we woke up, it was probably already afternoon... Only then did we realize We are already at this place... We don't know where it is... But it is surrounded by mountains on three sides... There is only one exit... We thought it would be safer here... So we stayed here for the time being. ...By the way, I send people out every day to find out the whereabouts of other people who were scattered at that time..."
"Did you find out about it later?" Sun Qier asked.
Eric shook his head and said: "We still had hope at first... But after searching for a long time... there is no news... We even haven't even seen the shadow of the rest of the people here..."
"Then you will give up searching?" Guo Zheng said.
Eric nodded and said: "Yes... In the end we had no choice but to give up... Then a long time passed... If they were not here... they might have left the Oss Mountains... It was so chaotic that night. ...We don’t know where they are going..."
"Then you stayed here in the end, right?" Xiaoba said.
Eric sighed and said: "If we don't stay here...where else can we go...Fortunately, we found that there are many fruit trees around this place. And there are also some small animals here...We also hunted. Go to some and raise them... Barely enough, you can live on."
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"
"Then do you have a water source here?" Yi'er asked.
Eric nodded and said: "Water source... Of course there is a water source... But the water source here is not a river on the ground, but there is a cave behind, and an underground river flows through here... We all rely on that. water source...and we also have our own water storage.”
"Then have you ever thought about going out from here?? For example, to Holy Light City??" Guo Zheng asked.
Eric thought for a moment and said, "I didn't want to before... but now I do..."
Eric's answer confused Guo Zheng and others, so they asked about the reason and found out.
It turns out that they thought this place could be self-sufficient and not disturbed. It was a very good place. Originally, they wanted to live in seclusion. Moreover, they were only in a border town in the Holy Light Empire. For them, Holy Light City was still Too huge.
So the reason why I am willing to go out now is because this place is no longer isolated from the world, it has been discovered.
According to Eric, the other party was a group of bandits, and they were still humans. When he saw their place, he came here to search. Unfortunately, there was really nothing worth plundering here. Just when the bandits were about to return in defeat, this bandit The leader saw that although there was nothing valuable in this place, there were many girls here, and this made their eyes light up.
So this group of bandits began to target these girls with malicious intent. At that time, more than a dozen of these girls went in and were robbed. However, several adults resisted, and they were all killed by the bandits.
Their resistance was fruitless and they had no choice but to accept their fate. Moreover, after living in seclusion for so long, they had nothing to lose. Moreover, without human contact for a long time, they were unlikely to be able to fight.
After these bandits snatched away these dozen girls, Eric quickly sent people to investigate the situation. They were discovered here, so they must not stay here any longer, otherwise they would end up with the meat on the chopping board. What's the difference. . You can only let others slaughter you. .
These bandits are not stupid. One look at the terrain here and they know that this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is only one exit, which is the road directly in front. The bandits are willing to let them go easily, so they sent people to guard that road. , they can’t get out even if they want to. .
Just now they sensed a commotion and thought that the bandits were coming again, so they took the next step and hid their daughter and the girl here in the cellar of the warehouse.
Later, no sign of the bandits was found, so they went over to release the girls. Only then did the first scene happen. It was at that time that Guo Zheng and others appeared in the cellar.
