The first thousand one hundred and eighty-four chapters The place where time is stagnant?
To be honest, it's quite strange that a very enthusiastic village elder suddenly appeared in such a desolate and isolated place, but it's much more comfortable to find someone who can communicate with you than to be surrounded by silent villagers.
, as soon as Hao Ren opened the translation plug-in, he immediately greeted him with the same enthusiasm. He first stated that he was an international friend living here and passed by this place on his way, and then began to inquire about the local customs and customs.
As expected, the old man's identity is the village chief here. According to his introduction, this village is called "Nalim". It is a small village with a population of several hundred and rarely communicates with the outside world. During the conversation, Hao Ren
I found that the degree of isolation of this village from the world was beyond imagination: the old village chief didn’t even know what era it was outside now. Whenever he mentioned something about the outside world, the old village chief would be vague, and the sentence he said most often
That is: "Ah, when you live in such a peaceful and peaceful place, why do you need to worry about the outside world?"
After a brief conversation, Hao Ren mentioned the matter of finding someone.
"We are here to find a man, his name should be Fernan," Hao Ren described based on the information provided by Hesperius. "He is a tall and strong man, almost seven feet tall, with a scar on his eye.
Ah, it may be another name, I can’t remember clearly, it’s an old friend of my uncle’s.”
The old village chief frowned with a look of reminiscence, and finally shook his head slowly: "I have no impression. We have never had such a person in our village, nor have we ever had such a guest. Such a tall man should be very eye-catching. I have only seen him
I won’t forget it.”
Hao Ren and Hesperius looked at each other. This situation was not too surprising, but to be honest it was quite regrettable.
"He may have moved away," Hesperius muttered under his breath. "Changing places of seclusion is common."
"Guests, it's getting late now, why don't you stay here for one night," the old village chief said again, "it would be better to set out to find someone tomorrow. The night road in the forest is not safe."
"Oh, you're welcome," Lily waved her hand, "We have a place to stay, and the journey is quite easy."
"It's better to stay here," the old village chief still insisted on inviting, with an unusually enthusiastic attitude. "Visitors from far away are a big deal here, and it would be disgraceful for us to let guests leave our house in the evening. You can
Try our waffles made from tree fruit, you can’t find them anywhere else.”
Hao Ren glanced at the current sky. There was nothing wrong with what the old village chief said, but he could undoubtedly feel some unnatural and unnatural atmosphere in the village. As night fell, the old village chief
As invitations continued to be sent out, this violation became more and more intense. Just when he was thinking about how to find a reason to leave, the old village chief's words made him change his mind: "Ah, speaking of what happened two days ago,
Several guests here haven’t left yet. If you stay here today, maybe you can leave together tomorrow.”
Has anyone else found this place?
Hao Ren and his party suddenly became suspicious: this village was not marked on any map. Hesperius even believed that the village was about to die three centuries ago. There was still an undeveloped forest around the village. This
Under such circumstances, besides a group of people with special purposes like myself, who else would come to visit this village?
Could it be someone else who wants to know the whereabouts of Hercules?
Everyone exchanged opinions and decided to stay here tonight to see what's weird about this village and meet those mysterious visitors.
There is no hotel in the small village, but there is a large house specially used to receive guests. This is a two-story wooden longhouse. It is as old and dilapidated as other buildings, but it is still strong and clean. The old village chief brought Hao Ren
After they were brought here, they said goodbye and left. Before leaving, they mentioned that they would meet everyone at dinner, and the mysterious visitors he mentioned before would also show up at that time.
After the old village chief and several villagers left, Vivian stretched her body and said, "It's really mysterious."
"I always feel that the atmosphere in this place is weird," Lily also nodded. Although she is relatively weak, her beast intuition is really top-notch. "Whether it was the village chief just now or the previous villagers, everyone has it.
They all have a very strange aura that is depressing and false.”
"Who else will come to this place besides us?" Hao Ren looked at Hesperus, "Does anyone else know about Hercules living in seclusion here? Is anyone else interested?"
"Only the demon hunters will pursue this matter, but now that the hunting is over, they have no reason to intervene again," Hesperius slowly shook his head, "Perhaps they are just ordinary people who strayed here by mistake. After all, although this village
Isolated and weird, it is physically connected to the outside world and people who are lost can walk in."
Vivian nodded: "Let's take a closer look after those visitors appear. Maybe they are trapped here. I have a very bad impression of this village. Although the people here are all living people, the village gave me
It feels like walking into a grave."
"Hiss" a small voice came from the backpack behind Hao Ren. This backpack was a necessary disguise.
This little one is probably the only one who knows nothing about the atmosphere now.
There was still a little time before night fell, and Lily started wandering around the longhouse with nothing to do. After walking around twice, she seemed to have discovered something, and ran to Hao Ren: "Landlady, landlord! There is no electricity in this place!"
Vivian said casually: "Nonsense, no national grid can cover such a desolate place."
"No, I mean there isn't even a wire or a light bulb here!" Lily put her hands on her hips, "No matter how remote this place is, it would be okay to get a small diesel generator, hydraulic generator or the like, but this place is like
It seems like there has never been such a thing as electricity. Look at the oil lamps hanging on the wall."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. Although he felt that what Lily said seemed reasonable, he still muttered subconsciously: "Actually, many villages in the ravines and particularly backward places are really like this."
"The oil lamps are from three centuries ago, as are the tables, chairs and furniture." Hesperius stood up and looked around. "There are no traces of modernization or modernization. In fact, the most obvious ones are the houses outside that were built three hundred years ago."
They were standing here when I came here, and they're still standing there today. Even if the house had been renovated and rebuilt, it wouldn't be like this."
The situation was getting more and more weird, but Hao Ren didn't have much nervousness on his face. He just looked at the ancient lamps hanging on the wall with interest and whistled: "Is this the place where time stops?"
After more than three years of work experience, Hao Ren can finally tell people with a straight chest: I have experienced many battles and have seen a lot. What kind of weird secrets have not been exploded? Time is stagnant and drizzle.
!
"If time in this village has been frozen, then the villagers here," Vivian frowned, thinking more, "are they still the same people three hundred years ago?"
Hesperius immediately shook his head: "Obviously not, I'm sure."
Hao Ren was not surprised by this: "This village was still normal when you came here, so it must have changed after that. It's normal that you don't know the people here."
Vivian also agreed with Hao Ren's view: "Well, that should be it. Anyway, I'm afraid this village has been distorted from the perspective of time and space. The reason for the distortion is probably related to Hercules who lived here in seclusion.
Lily's ears twitched: "Shh, someone is coming."
Everyone immediately stopped talking, and soon voices came from outside the longhouse. A moment later, the old village chief and several villagers appeared in front of Hao Ren and his party.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long," the old village chief smiled kindly, "it's already time to eat. According to our custom, guests coming from afar are a good omen for the village. Please come with me. I'll take you there."
You go to the place where everyone gathers for dinner."
Hao Ren exchanged glances with the others and decided to follow the rhythm of these strange villagers to see how things would develop.
"You said before that besides us there are a few guests from outside, are they all here too?" Vivian asked casually.
"Of course," one villager said gruffly, "you will see them."
Under the leadership of the village chief, Hao Ren and his party left the longhouse and came to a large open space in the center of the village.
The place has been prepared for the dinner. The long, heavy wooden tables have been lined up. The bonfires for lighting are burning brightly. The aroma of food is wafting in the open space. The villagers in the village seem to be concentrated in this place. Now there are people here.
It was noisy and the atmosphere seemed very lively.
Although the overall atmosphere of the village is still weird, it seems that it is really more popular at the moment.
Hao Ren, on the other hand, saw at a glance the most eye-catching and conspicuous outsiders among the group of locals.
The old village chief didn't lie. There were indeed visitors here besides Hao Ren and his party.
Vivian had a strange expression on her face when she saw the outsiders, then looked at one of them and muttered: "Hey, Hao Ren, does that person look familiar to you?" To be continued.
