The whole village gathered together. Years of dimensional wars had resulted in at least twice as many women as men in the village.
The women gathered together and chatted so loudly that it almost broke the sky.
A group of young people were dancing around the bonfire. Seeing that Surdak had a quiet and gentle personality, some young girls ran over and boldly invited Surdak to dance together.
The young girl pulled Rasuldak up from the crowd, and amid the cheers, he joined the group dancing in circles around the campfire. Everyone was stepping to the same beat, and the simple dance steps made it easy for people to blend in.
Holding the warm and soft little hand next to him, that clear smile without any impurities constantly infects Suldak. Perhaps this is the real life of the optimistic and strong Helensa people.
The stars in the night sky twinkled, and it was rare to see such activities at night in mountain villages. No one wanted to go home early.
The village of Wall is located at the southern foot of the Paglos Mountains, close to the edge of the barren land. The annual rainfall here is very rare, because the mountains and fields are covered with limestone, and even the entire mountain is a huge limestone. It is only due to the weathering effect over the years.
, countless rocks cracked and peeled off, and ravines of various sizes were formed under the erosion of rain.
Not only is rainfall scarce here, but the biggest problem is that it cannot store rainwater. The rainwater that falls gathers into streams and finally gathers in low-lying areas. However, this is not their end. They will quickly seep into the cracks in the rocks, and the naked
There is no soil left on the ridges, no vegetation can grow, and everything looks bare. The gray mountains stretch almost endlessly in sight. It is these factors that make this area very barren.
Looking up at the main line of the Pagolos Mountains, there should be endless gray mountains silent in the night, but the high mountain in the north is different from other mountains. The peak lights up with a dark light at night.
The red light looks like a trace of sunset left behind when the sun has not completely set.
According to the young people in the village, it is a mountain they call a "pustule". It is an active volcano that erupts magma all the year round. Someone once climbed to the top of that mountain. It is said that there is a vast expanse of magma there.
The lava spurted out from numerous cracks in the pool, producing a large amount of thick smoke.
Since it is at least dozens of kilometers away from the village of Wall, people can only realize its existence at night when they see the red light on the horizon.
The villagers gradually became familiar with Surdak, and many people took the initiative to talk to Surdak.
Surdak had a headache about where to stay at night. If they set up a tent in the village, how would the villagers treat Old Sheila's family? It would be better to go straight to the night road, even if it was slower, as long as they climbed over a mountain ridge,
If you set up a tent, no one will notice.
Since he had told Old Sheila that he would leave voluntarily today, and it was a bit embarrassing to return at this time, Surdak decided to wait until the bonfire party was over, and then quietly leave alone.
In the eyes of the villagers of Wall Village, the sheep's head is the best part of a sheep. Usually only the village chief is entitled to enjoy the sheep's head, but now this sheep's head is placed in front of Surdak, Surdak
Duck just took one look at the pair of eyes and yellow teeth on the sheep's head, which looked like a devil's head, and he immediately felt that he couldn't eat any meat.
The sheep's head on the plate was heated in the soup pot again, and then placed in front of him. Suldak could only smile and nod to the woman with an outstanding figure to express his gratitude.
The linen clothes had the feeling of silk, and Suldak couldn't help but glance at her twice.
Hood leaned into Suldak's ear and whispered: "Do you think Selena is beautiful? She is not only the most beautiful widow in our village, but also the most beautiful widow in this area, but you'd better stay away from her.
, some people say she is an ominous witch who can see the past, present and future, and she will bring disaster and disease to the people around her."
"Wizard?" Surdak asked.
In the Green Empire, the Magic Guild controls almost all magic academics in the empire. Spell controllers such as wizards, warlocks, prophets, astrologers, shamans, and druids have almost no room for survival in the empire. Previously, the only people who could compete with magicians were
The rivals were the priests and battle priests in the temple, but as the temple followed the oracle and chose to remain silent after the plane war broke out, the magicians became the dominant force in the Green Empire.
His eyes fell on the back of the woman, with her shiny black hair tied into a braid. She was sitting alone next to the boiling soup pot. As expected, no one dared to approach her. There was only a thin little girl huddled under her skirt.
, the little girl was opening a corner of her long skirt and peeking out secretly.
Hood also sighed, with regret on his face, and whispered to Suldak: "Others say so... that she is a cursed woman. No matter where she goes, there will be disaster."
Judging from Hood's timid appearance, he didn't even want others to know that he was talking about that woman.
Surdak glanced at the woman again. He didn't feel the breath of magic from her just now, and he was somewhat doubtful about the authenticity of the news.
It was late at night, and people in the village gradually began to disperse. Suldak felt that it was time to find an opportunity to leave Wall Village.
He turned around and looked around, but he didn't find his ancient horse.
Normally, the horse would not leave his sight. The horse and he were companions who walked back from the battlefield together. Many things did not even require communication. Sometimes, all it took was a simple look or a movement from Surdak.
, the horse will understand Surdak's instructions.
Instead of seeing his own horse, he saw the woman who was rumored to be ominous by the villagers.
The woman named Selina was cleaning up the soup pot by the campfire. She took out the cooked mutton bones and put them into a linen bag. At this time, no one wanted to come near her, until Celine
Na took the hand of a little girl and left. The women in the village divided up the last bits of goat groceries and soup in the soup pot. The big iron pot was carried back to the village's public warehouse by several men.
Suldak was looking for his horse when he saw old Sheila slowly walking over holding little Peter's hand. Suldak stopped and little Peter broke away from Old Sheila's hand and ran towards Suldak.
Coming over, Suldak was worried that he was running too fast, so he rushed up to him and picked him up. Little Peter grabbed Suldak's hair with both hands and kept laughing.
Suldak could clearly feel the happiness that came from the bottom of Little Peter's heart. He raised his head and glanced at Old Sheila.
The old woman in front of her seemed to be several years older than when she first saw her yesterday. Surdak could feel her sadness, but he couldn't show it in front of outsiders. Surdak said a little to old Sheila.
He nodded and walked up to give little Peter back to Old Sheila. He had even thought of words to comfort little Peter.
Unexpectedly, it was old Sheila who spoke first. She glanced at Suldak lightly: "Go home."
