Among the former villagers of Green Stone Village, there were many people like Feilin who died. Most of them were people who died on the way to escape when the restorationists brought the war to Green Stone Village. Although in Duan Qing's impression, this person was the one who died.
The Felin mentioned by Xiao Hongchen seems to be no different from other ordinary villagers, but judging from the expression of the shirtless young man himself, this middle-aged uncle who lives in the north of Green Stone Village seems to have left a deep impression on him: "
That guy... I took a lot of care from him when I was in Novice Village, and in the end I owed him a glass of wine, but now..."
"A manly man, this is nothing." Duan Qing was silent for a while, then patted the other party on the shoulder: "At the end of the day... just remember to return it to him."
"There are far more people who died in Green Stone Village." As if he had been following the opponent, the evil young man from Jie City in a black cloak also slowly walked out from behind the curtain of wind and snow: "There is also Little York to the east of the village.
, Ambro who likes to weave leather armor... They seem to be gone."
"...Really?" Looking back at the top of the canyon, towards the Green Stone Village on the south side of the mountain road, Duan Qing's sigh also sounded under the wind and snow: "If so many people really died,
That shows that the battle at that time was more intense than we imagined..."
"Sir, are you also doubting the identity of the old village chief?" At some point, Ninglan appeared in the team, and Ninglan's voice suddenly sounded: "Ninglan feels that... the village chief just now seems to have someone.
What is the unspeakable secret?"
"I felt powerful magic fluctuations on his body." Qian Zhihe, who was holding the staff, also came over in a low voice: "Although it is very vague, but...but my induction should be correct!"
"The Emerald Forest next to it is so dangerous. There might have been hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Green Stone Village..." Mengzhu, who was standing aside, curled his lips, then turned back inadvertently: "Now think about it... that bald blacksmith,
There must be a problem!"
"This is why we are here. Didn't I make it clear to you before?" Duan Qing took a deep breath: "But since the current situation is so complicated..."
"We'd better fulfill their request first and observe the situation."
Once again, when the sky was getting dark, Duan Qing and others who accidentally found the remaining villagers of Green Stone Village stayed in the corner of the canyon, paying attention to the changes around them while completing the tasks given to the villagers who stayed here.
Their tasks. Compared with when they first entered this game, they have naturally become much easier to deal with these tasks at this time. The only thing that affects them, apart from the wind and snow all over the sky, is probably that they keep seeing
The situation of the villagers - they are in a disaster for the first time, and they are short of food and clothing. It does not seem to be an easy thing to survive hiding in this area, not to mention they are old and weak soldiers who have no power to resist.
There are also NPCs who still seem to be able to fight, but they are naturally not as worthy of help as others, so in Duan Qing's activities in the following period, their task handover and help lists are mostly centered around those
The old man and the child came to carry out the activity: "...This is the prey we just caught. You can eat it first...What? No, no, no, we don't need rewards. Hunting pheasants, hares or something is fine for us.
It’s not a trivial matter…”
"Let Uncle Zach come back! It's cold at night, and I, Xiao Hongchen, will be responsible for the rest of the patrol mission!"
"The baby is ready! Everyone, come here and warm yourself up! Wow, it turns out that controlling flames is so difficult... Huh? I, I, I don't need the gold coins. I'm not a great magician, just an ordinary person.
The adventurer..."
"After drinking this bottle of medicine, your body will no longer hurt. After you recover, how about my sister taking you back to the village to play? Alas..."
Mengzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally tricked the medicine bottle in his hand into the mouth of an injured child. He breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and moved in place for a long time before he moved from the kneeling position.
He was relieved from the sourness and numbness caused by it: "Finally finished the third one... Where have you been, uncle?"
"Go and have a look at the front of the mountain road."
Duan Qing quietly walked to Mengzhu, patted the snow on his body and replied in a low voice: "The blockade of the Restorationists does exist. The entire mountain road seems to be controlled by them, and in this short half day, it has already
Three of their convoys passed over us."
"Maybe it's because we alerted them." The little girl thought for a while with her eyebrows twisted, and finally said gloomily: "We found a group of intruders at the mountain pass, but what should we do if we can't find them? Why don't we strengthen our vigilance?
Keep searching..."
"Maybe they have also noticed the existence of the hidden people at the bottom of the valley." Duan Qing also shook his head: "Although I don't know how Val did it, but how can something like an avalanche happen again and again, with the Restorationist's
Powerful means, as long as they do a little investigation..."
"You can't stay in this place for too long."
After greeting each other for a while, several members of the Fool's Adventure Group once again gathered outside the valley not far from the cave. After finding a bush that could shelter from the snow, they all discussed their future plans:
"We need to remind the remaining people that the risk of continuing to hide here is too great."
"But there are many wounded people here." The evil young man from Jiecheng who had just returned patted the snow on his body: "Considering the composition of those people, they are either old people or children...it is too difficult to transfer."
"Ninglan did some statistics. Including the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are about thirteen people here who are difficult to transfer." Ninglan, who was standing quietly aside, then introduced in a low voice: "Healthy people who are still able to move.
The fighters, as well as those combatants who are suspected of being strong... there are about four to five people in total."
"That is to say...we need to deal with nearly twenty people in total, right?" Duan Qing thought for a while: "It would be okay if it was just a group of ordinary people, but in a situation like this..."
"You can leave this matter to me."
As a voice that did not belong to Duan Qing and others appeared, a figure with a bright head gradually came into the view of several people who were in the meeting: "Even if I change jobs halfway, I am still a blacksmith. As long as I give
With some time, I can turn the resources on hand... into a large carriage that can carry twenty people."
"It should be enough to pull out those of us who are still alive." The blacksmith named Val said in a dull voice, and at the same time, he completely revealed his body in front of Duan Qing: "We only need... a chance
.”
"... As expected of a former soldier, he is so sensitive to the situation of the war." Duan Qing stood up and faced each other and smiled slightly: "I guess you should have smelled the danger long before we came here, right?"
"...The village chief and Amara are also aware of it, but they are not professionals and there is no good way to do it." Ignoring Duan Qing's temptation, Val replied in a low voice: "But even so, if you are stuck in
A place is never a long-term solution. In order to find the remnants of us, the restorers have been searching for several days..."
"Sooner or later they will search every inch of land here, and then come to us." Duan Qing nodded, and at the same time looked around the surrounding grass and trees covered by wind and snow: "In order to solve your predicament, our existence
It’s also very necessary…is that right?”
"... I'm sorry for hiding this from you, but I didn't expect the village chief to have such an attitude." Val tugged on his cotton-padded clothes: "Probably... I'm concerned about your safety, so I don't want you to get involved in this.
In the middle of a battle."
"What considerations you have in your heart have nothing to do with us, as long as you have enough trust in us." After looking at each other with Mengzhu, Duan Qing nodded immediately: "In order to show enough sincerity, we did the same just now.
It took a lot of effort.”
"The unique way of expression for adventurers... hum." Val crossed his arms disdainfully: "In that case, I will save you the necessary process of gaining trust."
"I will leave this task to you."
In the doubtful eyes of several people who turned around, the bald blacksmith deliberately lowered his voice: "I formally entrust you to help us complete this escape operation. In order to make this operation plan successful, we need the necessary intelligence and feint attack."
It is indispensable. I don’t have much time left, so the carriage used for transfer must be very crude. In order to prevent the enemy from discovering it, we can only use the method of temporarily distracting them..."
"In our words, this tactic is called attacking in the east and attacking in the west." Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly: "Of course, if it goes wrong, we will become a bait to lose our lives, right?"
"... When two armies are fighting, such a situation is possible." Val was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "I know that I can't force you adventurers to do the same in this way, but now it's over.
There is no extra solution..."
"Don't worry, since we are here, we have naturally made enough mental preparations." Duan Qing waved his hand: "But our lives cannot be given away in vain, in case we need to give up our lives in vain in the end
…But you still can’t escape safely?”
"We are not the only survivors in Greenstone Village."
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Val, who braved the wind and snow, lowered his head slightly: "The battle that happened a few days ago... some people escaped along the mountains in the northeast. If they are still alive now,
, This shows that there should be a way to survive over there..."
"Maybe it's another hidden stronghold." Ninglan, who was on the side, replied with a smile: "Mr. Richard had previously introduced many stronghold locations near Fenghua Town, one of which was owned by Mr. Kidd.
The responsible base... seems to be in that direction."
"If there really is a stronghold there, then you have a direction." Following the hints given by the codeword Ninglan, Duan Qing found a place he had never been to in his adventurer's manual: "
The visual estimate is that the distance is about twenty or thirty kilometers...oh no, it's thirty miles away, are you confident?"
"If there are no other people harassing me, there should be no problem on this journey."
Looking at the place pointed out on the map in Duan Qing's hand, the bald blacksmith frowned and replied: "But we can't guarantee whether the restorers have set up other sentries on this road..."
"Hey, do you still want us to be responsible for investigation and escort?" Xiao Hongchen on the side immediately objected: "There are only six of us, and we have to be divided into two groups! Let's not say whether we can defeat those magician teams.
...If we fight like flies against mosquitoes, the Restorationists won’t even pay attention to us!”
"There is no problem with this, as long as I am willing to show up." Duan Qing waved his hand lightly: "Although this may lead to a series of consequences, I am still relatively good at picking off tricks at the drop of a hat.
of……"
"Then, how should the team responsible for luring the enemy escape in the end?" Qian Zhihe asked with a worried look on his face: "We finally got here, if someone has an accident..."
"So it's fine if I take care of this side."
Pointing to his nose, Duan Qing looked up at the high valley: "I will do the seduction task alone. No one will follow me. It will be easier when I escape in the end..."
"Isn't it? Boss? You alone?" The smile red dust on the side jumped up: "How is it possible? No, no, so dangerous ... How can you let you go alone?"
"As this fool just said, the effect of one person is limited after all." The evil young man from Jie City on the side also shook his head in a low voice: "Even if it is to completely attract the enemy's attention, we cannot let you go alone.
.”
"I know what you are worried about, but this is what I am most confident about. In terms of the level and ability of setting off fireworks, I think I am not inferior to any magician of the same level..."
"We are not discussing the issue of setting off fireworks now, but the issue of life and death! Do you know whether you are alive or dead? Are you really going to die?"
The noisy voice gradually overcame the whistling of the wind and snow, and slowly sounded in the corner of the silver-covered trees. Val, who was looking at all this, slowly showed an expression of relief, and then suddenly held down the noisy voice.
The one who laughed the loudest was Hongchen’s pointed head: “Shhh, okay, don’t make any noise.”
"Don't touch me, uncle! What...what are you doing?"
Seeing the other teammates also disappearing, Xiao Hongchen, who suddenly retracted his shouts, also noticed something unusual. Several short figures also hurriedly hid behind their respective trees and gradually turned their gaze to the valley.
In the distant wind and snow: "What, what's wrong?"
"……somebody is coming."
Looking at the human silhouette appearing at the end of that direction, Duan Qing replied in a low voice.
