"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing the Pope talking to him in a pleasant manner, the village chief immediately felt relieved, "Actually, we haven't had contact with outsiders for hundreds of years. The best thing about this place is that few people pass by. Plus it's surrounded by high mountains.
, our lives have never been affected. We do not reject contact with other ethnic groups, but basically everyone who sees us will misunderstand us and regard us as the undead. It is also very special to be able to meet people who remember our true identity.
Lucky."
"You just said you haven't had contact with outsiders for hundreds of years?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously, "Do you mean you met other ethnic groups hundreds of years ago?"
"Yes!" The village chief nodded, "Basically within hundreds of years, there will be some ethnic groups like you who come here by chance. I vaguely remember that the last time was a dwarf who was lost for more than half a month, about three years ago.
It's been more than a hundred years, right? He simply regarded us as the undead. When we met late at night, he ran away in fear without saying a word. He never came back after that, and he doesn't know if he successfully left this mountain! But everything
More than three hundred years have passed, whether he left or not, he should have passed away, right?"
"Although we took a shortcut, there should be a lot of people passing by, right?" Jia Zhengjin asked, "The popularity of flying mounts is not low, and the rich and nobles use them. Could it be that for hundreds of years
No one has discovered your village yet?"
"There should be a lot of people who have discovered our village," the village chief replied, "but we spend most of the time sleeping. We only wake up gradually from late at night to the first second of the next day, and then we are active in the village before dawn.
Within. As soon as the sun appears, we will fall into deep sleep again, so there are only a short six or seven hours in darkness every day. Even if someone stays in the village during the day, or passes by the village, we cannot touch them, unless they are like you.
Stay here and wait until we wake up."
So that's it! Jia Zhengjin understood that although these Forgotten People were not undead, they were somewhat similar to the undead. First of all, they could not exist during the day, they only appeared at night, and they only came out between 0 o'clock and 7 o'clock.
Therefore, even if passers-by discover the village or rest here, as long as they don't stay until 0 o'clock the next day, it is impossible to see them.
This village is actually quite suspicious, and normal people would avoid it if they saw it. That is to say, my team is very powerful, so I don’t have any scruples. In addition, if I really encounter them in person, I will directly regard them as undead. The Forgotten people exist until
There is a reason why it has not been discovered by the outside world yet.
Now that I understand this, all the questions in my mind are cleared.
"I'm sorry to disturb you!" Jia Zhengjin apologized, "Our team just passed by by chance and mistakenly thought that you were the undead. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, we will leave the village immediately and find another place to rest nearby."
"Distinguished guests," the village chief heard this and replied softly, "Actually, we don't mind this. It is rare for people to remember us, which makes us very happy. If our appearance does not frighten you, if you
If you think you don’t mind facing us, then there’s no need to leave, why don’t you stay in the village tonight?”
"If we stay here, will it affect you?" the pope asked worriedly.
"Guests don't have to worry," the village chief said with a smile, "In fact, after we wake up every day, we basically have nothing to do. And everyone is asleep during the day, so it is rare to get time to wake up, and no one needs to sleep. So you can be generous
Sleeping in the house will not affect us. To be honest, since we became conscious, we have been unable to leave this area and cannot take half a step outside the village. After waking up, we are really bored and have no needs in any way. We don't
There is no food to eat, no water to drink, and all needs are zero. We can only cultivate, clean, and plant day after day, which is meaningless. If you stay here, even if it is only for one night, we can temporarily stop this daily life.
Repeating meaningless work is actually quite good."
"Really?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Since it doesn't affect you, of course it's better to stay there. Building a new camp temporarily will waste a lot of time. But I'm curious, why can't you leave this village?"
"Yes!" The Pope was also full of curiosity, "Is there any special reason why you can't leave from here? If you can leave here, maybe you don't have to repeat the meaningless work every day. After all, you have grown the vegetables and fruits.
You can't eat, and you don't need to rest in a clean house..."
"For thousands of years, we ourselves have been thinking." The village chief sighed, "We have long been tired of this life and want to go to a new place, a different place, to try a completely different life.
"
"Then do you think of any reason for limiting yourself?" Connie couldn't help but ask.
The village chief lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said: "We have thought about it for thousands of years, but we still can't figure it out. We can only be sure of one thing. There is an extremely deep place under the village, an area that we ourselves cannot reach.
.Perhaps, there is the answer we need to seek."
"The deepest place?" Jia Zhengjin asked in confusion, "What is that?"
"We only know that there is a deep place under the village. We don't remember who told us that there is a huge secret in that place. We have also tried to dig down to find the secret of the deep place, but there is a
Special forces have been blocking us and forcing us to give up. If you ask us what the deepest place is, we actually don’t know anything about it! Forget it, don’t think about this kind of thing, maybe it will always be out of our reach.
Domain. Guests, please go back to your house and rest! If you need help, please tell us, and all our villagers will be happy to serve you. If you want to rest, we will not disturb you."
"We have to travel tomorrow," the Pope said softly to Jia Zhengjin. "The matter of the Dark Dragon is very important! Since they don't mind letting us stay overnight, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
"That's right." Jia Zhengjin nodded and said to the village chief, "In that case, let's stay one night shamelessly! We have to hurry up and get on our way tomorrow. After all, there are important things to do. If we have the chance to come back this time
, maybe I will find time to come see you again and help you study things in the Deep Place."
"Really?" The village chief made a joyful voice, "Thank you so much!"
