The three of them just walked on the path, silent all the way, except Andre.
Since he is the first person qualified to enter the portal in the Gulie Empire in the past thirty years, he is very interested in everything outside the portal.
"Hey, Captain Li, look, look, is that a wild boar? It's so beautiful. Are all wild boars that beautiful?"
Li Yi: "......That's a deer."
"Captain, captain, look, there is a dragon in the river. I haven't seen a dragon yet!"
Li Yi's veins were exposed: "That's a lizard!"
"Captain, captain..."
Qin Lun looked at Li Yi: "Are you sure this guy's mind is normal?"
Li Yi was speechless.
At this time Andre shouted again: "Captain, captain, look, there is someone there!"
Li Yi looked impatient: "Can you calm down, I...eh? There is really someone!"
At this time, the three of them were almost approaching the mountain where Xingluo Village is located, and were walking on the edge of a small river. The winding river flowed into the distance along the path, and on the bank of the small river, it was covered by long weeds. There, there was a child lying down. Thanks to Andre wandering around, he discovered him.
The three of them took a closer look and could tell from their clothing that they were villagers nearby, and there was only one Xingluo Village within a ten-mile radius.
Andre stepped forward to check it out: "It should be fine. He probably fell down accidentally while picking wild vegetables and rolled to the river. Several ribs were broken."
Li Yi glanced at the unknown wild vegetables that had fallen to the ground, and there was an overturned basket next to it: "Andre, don't you know how to heal? Save him."
"Why? My teacher said that no warrior would waste too much energy doing meaningless things before fighting."
"Your teacher is right." Li Yi nodded. He has figured out the character of the big swordsman. As long as you follow his words, he will not fight with you.
"What I asked you to do is to prepare for the war."
"Oh, okay, it's up to me." Andri rubbed his hands and made preparations without asking for a reason. For him, on the battlefield, all he had to do was follow orders and a soldier didn't need a reason.
Of course, you can't refute what I said.
.....
After casting several primary healing spells, the unconscious villager of Xingluo Village was finally revived.
Seeing that the other party woke up quickly, Li Yi glanced at Andre: "Go and stand guard in front. I'll call you if anything happens."
He turned to Qin Lun and said, "You come to ask for information, I'll step aside." After saying that, he walked away directly.
So when Xiao Huangmao, a villager in Xingluo Village, woke up, the first thing he saw was an extremely beautiful elder sister, who was looking at him with a smile, and he could smell a faint violet fragrance, and he suddenly thought of a legend.
"Are you...the fairy sister sent by Lord Demon to take me to heaven?"
Qin Lun was slightly startled and quickly returned to normal: "Yes, that's right, I'm here to pick you up, but according to the order of the Demon God, you must answer my questions honestly to prove that you are not lying. In this way Only then can I take you to heaven!"
Xiao Huangmao said feebly: "No... no problem, just ask the fairy sister, I will tell you what I know."
"Okay!" Qin Lun smiled sweetly, caressed Xiao Huangmao's face with a violet-scented hand, and spoke softly.
...
About a quarter of an hour or so.
With a faint smile on his face, Qin Lun walked to Li Yi, who was hiding aside, without saying a word, just looking at him.
"What did he say?"
"I can tell you what he said, but Captain, you seem to be hiding something from us!" Qin Lun smiled sweetly, but his words were threatening.
Li Yi's expression remained unchanged: "What am I hiding from you? Is it necessary? Besides, I just came in one step earlier than you. Andre even came in earlier than me. Why don't you doubt him?"
Qin Lun sneered: "Just him? Do you think he has the brains to hide something?"
"You tell me first, and then I will consider whether to tell you something." Of course, Li Yi had nothing to hide. He was also curious about what Qin Lun heard, which made her suddenly start to doubt herself.
"Okay, I'm not a stingy person either." With a hint of subtle cunning, Qin Lun revealed the information he had just learned about Xiao Huangmao about Xingluo Village.
It turned out that the little yellow hair was indeed a villager from Xingluo Village. This time he came out to pick wild vegetables. He hit the air with one foot and rolled down the mountainside. Fortunately, the terrain of this mountain was not very steep, otherwise it would not have just broken a few pieces. A rib will do the trick.
Of course, Xiao Huangmao didn't know this. Due to his trance, he thought the woman in front of him was the demon god's angel, so he answered all questions.
Qin Lun summarized it and summarized some of the issues that he was most concerned about.
First of all, according to Xiao Huangmao, many investigators did come to the village. There were three batches in total. Each batch was received by the village chief personally. He also saw with his own eyes that the village chief invited those investigators into his house. At home, I just heard the next day that the investigators had returned, and everything was business as usual.
The second thing is that there is something wrong with the number of people in the village. According to Xiao Huangmao, his ancestors have lived in Xingluo Village for generations, but the adult males in the family will disappear for a long time every once in a while, and even more Most people simply disappear, but no one dares to question him face to face. If someone is discussing in private and the village chief discovers it, he will be reprimanded and then no one will be seen again. From then on, no one dares to discuss the matter again. Only Xiao Huangmao overheard the village chief telling a boy named Moli about this matter by chance, because Moli was responsible for monitoring the path at the entrance of the village.
He also vividly recounted the conversation between the two at that time:
"Uncle Village Chief, when will my father come back? I have been guarding this path for more than a year, but why have I never seen my father come back?"
"Molly, don't worry, as long as you persist, you will be able to see your father sooner or later."
"Then where is my father?"
"Your father went to a very far away place, and he paid a lot for this village! Hey."
Molly (excited): "Are you going out to make money? I heard people say it's easy to make money outside. By the way, village chief, why don't you let everyone go out? Everyone has gone out to make money, can't the same be done in the village? Will you become rich soon? I won’t have to eat chewy whole grains every day.”
Village chief (with a serious face): "Who told you? Tell me your name. It is true that it is faster to make money outside, but many people are unwilling to come back after they go out. By then, not only will the village not be rich, but people will It will gradually become less and less, and by then, even Xingluo Village may have disappeared. I don’t let you go out for your own good!”
"Oh, uncle village chief, I understand."
"By the way, Molly, you haven't told me who told you this!"
.....
"No more?" Li Yi asked.
Qin Lun spread his hands and said, "No, the kid said he didn't hear the rest of the story clearly. What do you think?"
"It seems that the problem lies with the village chief, but there is one thing I don't quite understand. I asked Andre to survey the terrain of this place just now, and the information fed back is quite interesting."
"That iron... big man still knows how to survey?" Qin Lun was slightly surprised. She didn't expect this.
Li Yi smiled: "Although the big man looks naive, he knows a lot. According to him, his country selects a group of people every once in a while to receive training in various professional combat skills. , which of course also includes basic combat qualities such as reconnaissance and sentry, and he is the strongest in their group, ranking first in every single item."
Qin Lun smiled sweetly: "Really? What exactly is it?"
"This Xingluo Village is actually not far from the Demon City. The straight-line distance is only about a hundred miles. According to the technological level of the Demon Clan, this distance can only be traveled back and forth in one or two hours at most. So the question Here, why did they send investigators or come on foot? Can't we just fly the spaceship?" Seeing Qin Lun's confused and curious face, Li Yi smiled slightly and continued: "It looks full of doubts, but in fact it's not. It couldn’t be simpler, because this is not a magical city.”
"Here we are going to talk about the special characteristics of the Magic City." At this time, Andre suddenly jumped out. Apparently he had heard the discussion between the two, and he smiled and told the results of his investigation.
"The entire Demon City is actually a huge spaceship. Except for the Demon City, the other places are actually just some temporary settlements left by Demon Lord Qingtian. Of course, after Mo Qingtian died in the later period, it became It is the dividing line between nobles and commoners among the demon clan."
It turns out that since Mo Qingtian led the legion he led to declare independence, the soldiers' physiques have been changed through the huge source of gray mist. And because Mo Qingtian hates the empire established by the human race, this will is also deep-rooted. It is deeply implanted in the hearts of every soldier in all the demon legions.
They became the first generation of soldiers of the Demon Clan - the Demon Abyss Soldiers.
Of course, even so, the Demonic Abyss Legion at that time was still unable to confront the Human Empire head-on. Mo Qingtian took his men and flew away from the territory ruled by the Human Empire in a giant spaceship that had been prepared for this day. , he made countless preparations. When they arrived on the planet that was later named Demon Star, the soldiers were surprised to find that their family members had been brought here by Mo Qingtian in advance!
"So, the current Moyuan soldiers are actually a mixture of humans and demons?" Qin Lun asked.
"That's right, after all, even with Mo Qingtian's ability, he can't take away such a large ball of gray mist. With his strength, he can barely control it and prevent more gray mist from eroding his men. It's just a matter of completing the transformation." Andre nodded, admitting that her deduction was correct.
Qin Lun looked Andre up and down, and couldn't believe it: "You are such a big man, you can't see it, you actually know the history of the demon clan so clearly."
When Andre heard this, his expression suddenly dimmed, and he seemed to have a lot of things on his mind. Fortunately, Li Yi saw this in time.
"Okay, it's enough to know this. What we should figure out now is what the hell the head of Xingluo Village is doing."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Li Yi looked at the mountain peaks in the distance with thoughtful eyes: "It's very simple. Since he has the ability to make so many people disappear, then we will take the initiative to send him to his door!"
