The third time he saw the farmer, the farmer apologized enthusiastically at first and asked Sol if he had seen a ten-year-old boy with red hair and a big nose.
Sol looked at the farmer steadily this time and smiled, "Sorry, I haven't seen that boy."
The farmer was a little disappointed, but he no longer suspected that Saul was the murderer.
"It's getting late. As you stand here, do you want me to take you into the village to rest for the night?"
Sol readily agreed, "Okay, thank you."
The farmer was very happy and said, "It's been a long time since outsiders came to our village. Get in the car and sit on it. Just sit directly on the straw. It's soft and not afraid of pressure."
Sol got into the car and when he sat down, he took the opportunity to move the straw while adjusting the "cushion".
This time there were still no bodies in the straw.
The carriage drove smoothly into the small village. When passing by the outermost house, Saul saw two strong men standing under the eaves.
They were holding daggers in their hands, and they were the two guards who killed Thor for the second time.
But this time, when they saw the farmer and Sol sitting in the car, they just glanced casually, and then retreated to chat under the shadow of the eaves.
The farmer's house is not adjacent to the main road in the middle of the village, but passes through a dilapidated path between two houses.
However, his house is a two-story hut, which is considered a luxurious house among the surrounding huts.
The farmer parked his car in front of the door and invited Thor inside.
The door was bolted from the inside and the farmer could not push it open.
"My old lady should have locked the door. Normally I would go deliver straw at this time, but I thought you would be hungry, so I came back early." The farmer said with a smile, then raised his rough palm and slapped it Knocked on the door.
"Come on, come on." A somewhat panicked voice came from the house, and then there was the sound of "thumping" down the stairs.
The bolt was removed, the door opened, and a fat, middle-aged peasant woman with a headscarf on her head came out.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
"Why are you so slow?"
After opening the door, the farmer and the peasant woman spoke almost at the same time, with a hint of impatience in their words.
In the end, it was the peasant woman who got out of the way first, "I was packing my things upstairs and ran down when I heard the sound. Why are you so slow?"
The farmer was not satisfied, "I finally brought a guest here, and you locked the door. Go and bring out dinner to entertain my guest."
The peasant woman glanced at Sol, still looking a little panicked. The farmer urged her again, and then she turned to the small room on the left side of the first floor to prepare meals.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the peasant woman left, the farmer suddenly looked at the second floor suspiciously and said, "I'll go to the second floor to get a bottle of wine."
Sol actually wanted to say no, but he understood that the farmer's so-called getting wine was just an excuse.
The farmer took three steps and then two steps to run up the stairs, and the peasant woman had just come out with a bowl, a fork and a spoon.
She was startled when she saw the farmer going up to the second floor, "What are you doing up there?"
The farmer ignored her at all. The peasant woman chased him for two steps, but still stopped in front of the stairs.
"Don't mess up the warehouse again!" The peasant woman put the tableware on the table in the living room.
Her hands were shaking, obviously very nervous.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the second floor, followed by another burst of chaos, and then Saul saw a black shadow falling from the window beside him.
Sol approached the window and saw a strange young man lying on the ground with a familiar iron prong stuck in his neck.
Before Saul could sigh that this was another ethical drama, the peasant woman's resentful voice sounded behind him.
"It's all your fault!"
Thor turned around and saw the peasant woman rushing toward him with a pointed fork in her hand.
"Can you blame me?" Thor, who already knew that the people here were not simple, immediately activated his magic power.
"If you hadn't been a guest, he wouldn't have come back early!"
A black blade appeared behind the peasant woman.
But when the blade fell, it was still blocked by an invisible barrier.
"It seems it's not about sneak attacks." Thor already knew the outcome this time, but he still tried hard to escape by jumping out of the window.
However, the moment he decided to run away, the peasant woman who was two or three meters away from him came to him in the blink of an eye and inserted a fork into Sol's eyes, piercing Sol's brain.
Sol: "..."
Herman: [It hurts just to look at it! 】
Thor thought he would die immediately, but he still stayed awake for more than ten seconds.
During this time, he saw the peasant woman dragging her legs into the hut on the left.
There was the kitchen, and as soon as Sol entered, he saw a stove.
At this time, the peasant woman turned to Sol's head and lifted him up, so Sol could see the things inside the stove.
A pot of bubbling thick soup with no visible ingredients, with several red hairs floating on it.
"Just in time, it's time to change the original soup base." The peasant woman muttered, pulled out the knife on the chopping board, and then swung it down hard!
【You are familiar with it. 】
…
Sol: "Why is she still in the mood to cook? Shouldn't she wait for the farmer to come down before killing the farmer or being killed by the farmer?"
Agu: [It should be because the people in this village are not normal. 】
Thor, who stood outside the village again, did not look at the picture on the golden page.
Even he couldn't bear to look at the scene this time, and several other consciousnesses also ignored this topic.
Morton: [Master, it’s the fourth time now. Do you ever feel like your mental energy or magic is being drained? 】
Saul knew what Morton was worried about. "Every time I start again, I will test my physical condition. But until now, there has been no loss."
Agu: [You don’t need to pay any price? It's terrible. 】
Herman was puzzled, [Why is it so scary if you don’t have to pay the price? 】
"Because the free ones are the most expensive. But this matter is not the most important now." Sol said, and then he stood there and waited for the farmer to drive the carriage and pass him.
The next development was the same as the third time. Sol agreed to the farmer's invitation and entered the village.
On the way, Thor thought about the three previous times when he died.
"Every time I died, it was because someone wanted to kill me."
Morton: [I noticed it too. Maybe the rule of this place is that people with murderous intentions cannot be resisted? 】
"It's possible. I only killed the farmer the second time. At that time, I had just recovered from being killed and resurrected for the first time. When facing the farmer, I naturally had the intention to kill."
But after thinking about it, Thor shook his head again, "But when I saw other people attacking me, they naturally had murderous intentions, but they still couldn't hurt them. And from the attempt just now, it can be seen that a sneak attack can also It’s useless. So just having the intention to kill may not work. But it’s basically certain that once someone else has the intention to kill me, I won’t be able to survive.”
Herman: [It is too difficult to prevent everyone from murdering the master. Everyone here obviously has a problem with their brain circuits! 】
Thor crossed his fingers, "I have a new idea."
At this time, the farmer stopped the carriage in front of his house and said, "This is my home. Do you want to come in and rest for the night?"
Sol jumped out of the carriage and patted the grass seeds and needles under him. "Thank you, but I want to go shopping on the street and buy some things first."
The farmer frowned, "Then you should be careful alone. Little Claude just disappeared a few days ago. Maybe the bad guys are still in the village."
Sol nodded, "I will be careful this time."
Sol left the farmer, and the latter did not go home immediately, but chose to deliver the goods first.
Sol watched the farmer's carriage leave, glanced back at the second floor of the farmer's house, and left without saying anything.
"Can you give me a silver coin?"
While walking on the road, Sol was suddenly blocked by a cute little girl of seven or eight years old.
Considering that people here kill people when they are unhappy, Sol did not ignore her just because she was young.
"Can I ask first, what do you want the silver coins for?"
"My friend Little Claude has been missing for many days. I need silver coins to hire a car to go out and find him!" the little girl said confidently, puffing out her chest.
