After checking that all the corpses were melted and there were no missing light groups, Wang Xing took the girl back to the village.
He was not slow in catching up, but the subsequent battle, checking his trophies, and the final questioning really took a lot of time. At this time, walking out of the mountain forest, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
Although it had been a whole night, the last movement yesterday still attracted the attention of many people.
So the strong men in the village were stopped by the village chief. They urgently connected their relatives to the stone house, and then asked the strong men to take long-handled farm tools and other weapons. The stone walls around the stone house served as a defense line, and they waited in fear all night.
As the sun rises, in their hearts, because the contract between the big shot and the demon existed, daytime is not the time for the demon to be active.
Sure enough, when they were relaxing, Wang Xing returned with a serious look on his face and a long sword in hand.
Although the blood on the long sword was shaken off, there were still some residual stains on the white sword with sacred words engraved on it. These marks were very conspicuous under the morning sun.
I understand that Wang Xing obviously went through a fierce battle yesterday, but the good news is that Wang Xing is not only fine, but those monsters didn't follow him.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the village chief needed to pay attention to more things. He hurriedly asked the farmers to prepare hot water and food for Wang Xing, and at the same time asked more people to go to his house to get food first, giving the villagers who had been vigilant all night They eat and drink, and arrange for the remaining people to take breaks and change shifts in an orderly manner.
Wang Xing did not stop the village chief from being busy. The prerequisite for getting more things is to give up a lot. If he is unwilling to give up, his current life will soon leave him.
Not far behind Wang Xing was Mei, who was being carried by Wang Xing on the road because he was not very physically strong.
Because Wang Xing was too conspicuous, Mei, a small character in the village who was just beautiful and capable, but would not attract anyone's attention under such circumstances, quietly returned to the room where Wang Xing was resting.
After Wang Xing had a simple meal and drink, he politely began to ask about the surrounding situation. At the same time, he clearly and forcefully told the village chief what he had done before.
When he said that he casually killed those monsters, he stared at the village chief's expression carefully.
Sure enough, the other party showed panic and fear at first, and then immediately wanted to resign, but Wang Xing forcibly pulled the village chief to stay. The other party tried his best, but could not make Wang Xing's hand on his shoulder move at all.
The absolute power let the village chief know that Wang Xing was stronger and tougher than he appeared on the surface.
Wang Xing didn't know whether the village chief told the truth, but the intelligence information the village chief now told made him understand the situation around him better.
This is an inconspicuous village on the border of the kingdom.
A kingdom with a huge territory is like a small sesame seed in the sea in the chaotic land. It can only drift with the tide. It even needs to pray that it will not be smashed to pieces by the waves in the rough waves who do not know who is sealing the law.
The huge and chaotic chaotic land, the small kingdom, and the fact that they are just an inconspicuous small village on a border territory of the kingdom all determine the situation here.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so many things in the kingdom can only affect those close to them. The lords needed to recruit troops. When they came to force the people to leave, the people who left were just to maintain the security within the territory.
The biggest problem facing their village basically has nothing to do with the divided kingdom being ruled by different lords and nobles in turns.
First of all, the first person who affected them was a tax official working for a noble in a nearby city. What this person wants is various taxes every year. As long as he pays enough food and money, he can cope with it.
In fact, the tax officer himself didn't bother to come over. He asked his relatives or subordinates to come over. These people didn't want to stay in their village with nothing, so they would leave soon.
What really affects them in normal times is actually the forces in the black forest on the kingdom's border, which is a natural barrier. The forest is occupied by witches who possess various magical witchcraft.
There are many enemies in the forest, including witches, beasts, monsters, demons... But because the village chief once signed a treaty with the leader of the witches under the leadership of the powerful church that cooperated with the local lords, he regularly offered sacrifices to show his loyalty. Will not attract hostility.
As the village chief narrated, Wang Xing understood the surrounding environment better.
The kingdom is the largest force in the vicinity. The lords of different territories under the kingdom are the bosses who occupy their own mountains and become kings. These people unite to form a king. Whoever is bigger can rebel and become the king.
Everyone has their own and other different strengths in their own territory.
The nearby forest is occupied by witches, so in addition to developing his own power, the lord uses different people to coordinate the relationship between local forces.
According to the village chief, every year they only bring a few hundred kilograms of grain and an animal. This may seem like a lot, but to a powerful witch, it really means nothing.
So the nearby witches just want to see the attitude of these villages living in their territory.
It's just that these witches got one thing wrong. They can get filial piety not only because they are good in each place, but because the whole group is good. When an individual encounters a powerful enemy, he should not directly send monsters to attack and threaten him like last night.
'These witches are a threat. It seems like we should go to the forest to find them and get rid of these troubles. '
This thought flashed through Wang Xing's mind and he listed this as his first goal.
Then there will be others who will arrive in the next few days. As the local lords continue to divide, the tax collectors sent by the nobles with the largest territory nearby.
However, he has no interaction with these people. At most, he meets them after seeing them. Wang Xing didn't take these people seriously.
After knowing the general situation, Wang Xing immediately began to ask the village chief various questions.
What is the scope of activities of the villagers in the village? Has the witch done anything outrageous or caused any major events in recent years...
The village chief was still speculating on various questions at first, but as Wang Xing asked him more and more, the village chief himself had some difficulty recalling them, and the answers to many questions were wrong.
Under constant questioning by Wang Xing with a large number of questions, the village chief simply said whatever he knew.
Gradually, Wang Xing learned more about the witch.
It was a hundred years ago that the once powerful witch signed a contract with the strong man in the kingdom. Just a few years ago, the most powerful witch in the forest died, and the situation in the villages near the forest changed a lot.
