Chapter 1325 The Past of Valley Village (Ⅰ)

Compared with Bafra and Peter who are too young, Malik and Nikolai are more calm and sophisticated in social aspects. Sitting down and chatting with the three of Qiao An, seemingly inadvertently inquiring about their origins.

Joan's portrait has been publicly printed in newspapers in the Far East, and his identity is beyond doubt. As for Medea, in order to avoid causing panic, she had to conceal the identity of the Gorgon, saying only that she was a warlock and Joan's partner in academic projects.

Ruby might look too young and too cute, Malik and Nicholas never doubted her human identity. Hearing that Ruby called Joan "brother", it was assumed that she was a child of a relative of the young mage.

After some inquiring, Malik and Nicholas exchanged glances, they seemed to agree that there was nothing suspicious about Joan and the others, and the next topic turned to the right track.

"Ms. Gauguin, Mr. Vida, you have come to Valley Village to inquire about the cockatrice, and you have found the right place."

Mr. Malik poured himself a cup of tea and held it up with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

"Nicolas, you, Peter, and Bafra have only been here in Valley Village for a short time. I'm afraid you don't know much about our history. In the early years, Valley Village was not the paradise it is today. There are poor mountains and rivers, and monsters are rampant. Folks life is difficult.”

"In those years, there were three kinds of disasters that threatened our Valley Village the most. Now the old people are still afraid of mentioning it!"

"Mr. Malik, this is the first time I've heard you talk about these things. What three kinds of disasters did you mention just now?"

Peter leaned over to ask curiously.

Joan, Medea and Ruby also listened intently.

"The first of these three major disasters was the 'rotting fever' that broke out in the village at that time. People infected with this strange disease would have fever all over their bodies and fall into a coma. die."

"At that time, many people in the village were infected with this strange disease. Ordinary medicines could not cure this supernatural disease. We had to ask the village druid, Ms. Donia, to perform magical powers to treat the 'fever fever'."

"The druid's magic is indeed effective, but the patients who were cured by Ms. Tonya often fell ill again after a short interval. This puzzled us at the time, and even caused suspicion and doubt about Ms. Tonya. She deliberately refused to completely cure the patient, of course it was wrong to blame others, and I am still ashamed when I think about it now."

"I've heard sister Tonya talk about this, that is, she has a good temper, and she doesn't say anything when she is wronged. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear this tone!" Bafula said with a sneer.

Joan glanced at Catwoman and guessed that the former resident druid of Valley Village, Donia, was probably also a "Green Druid" from the "Ring of Harvest", and she had a good friendship with Bafra.

Malik sighed, and continued: "In those years, Gudi Village was just a remote village isolated from the world, including myself, most of them were ignorant and foolish people, and when they encountered strange diseases that could not be cured, they inevitably became suspicious. "

"In addition to the 'Rotting Fever', there were two more threatening disasters at that time. The first was the 'Night Hag' Agnes who was entrenched in the depths of the nearby 'Mist Swamp'. She often cast spells to sneak into the village and abduct children."

"Whoever loses a child must be caught and eaten by the old hag. Parents have no other choice but to cry bitterly."

Joan's expression changed slightly.

Not long ago, in the Baden Wetlands, he had just had a conflict with the green hag sisters, and he still had a fresh memory of the hag's cruelty and evil.

The "night hag" that Mr. Malik mentioned just now belongs to a subclass of the "hag" group. At the same time, he also has the blood of a devil. He is naturally good at casting spells. He also owns a horse named "Nightmare" from the devil world, which can transform spirit bodies at will. , Sneaking into other people's dreams, the strength is much stronger than the "green hag"!

"In addition, in the jungle by the swamp outside the village, there is a large group of terrifying monsters with the body of a chicken and snake tail. Villagers who go out to cut firewood and hunt are often attacked by such monsters. If they are pecked by them, they will die soon. will be turned into stone."

"This group of monsters that can turn people into stone statues is the cockatrice that Ms. Gauguin and Mr. Vida are looking for, and it is also the third disaster that posed a great threat to the village back then." Malik said.

"Incurable diseases, night hags abducting children in the swamp, and large groups of cockatrices in the woods...Mr. Malik, our Valley Village was really full of disasters!" Nicholas said with emotion.

"That's right! It's a miracle that Gudi Village can still exist today after suffering these three major disasters at the same time." Ruby also finds it inconceivable.

"In fact, when our Valley Village was on the brink of extinction, a miracle did happen."

Mr. Malik spoke in a low voice, with a strange gleam in his eyes.

"That was the summer four years ago. Five travelers from the south passed through Valley Village and stayed here for less than a week."

"In just a few days, these travelers first slaughtered all the cockatrices running rampant in the forest, and then found the source of the 'fever fever', a strange monster lurking in the garbage dump at the entrance of the village, and killed them. Killed the monster named 'Scavenging Beast', and called on the villagers to move the garbage dump away from the water source to cut off the source of the disease."

"After doing these two things, five respectable travelers, together with Ms. Tonya, ventured deep into the Misty Swamp. After a bloody battle, they finally killed the night hag and completely eliminated the three major evil spirits that plagued Valley Village. Disaster."

"It sounds like a legend compiled by bards..." Medea muttered in a low voice.

"It's unreal, isn't it?" Malik shrugged and spread his hands, with a helpless smile on his face, "In fact, I have omitted the details as much as possible, otherwise you will definitely feel that it is too exaggerated, like a story copied from the stage , but I dare to swear to Goddess of Destiny, what I just said is true, and there is no exaggeration in a single sentence."

"Mr. Malik, those five travelers you just mentioned, or should we call them 'explorers' more properly, were able to wipe out a large group of cockatrices, a scavenger, and mana in less than a week. High-strength night hags, and according to your tone, they did not suffer any casualties worth mentioning. This shows that these five travelers are all remarkable figures. Only extraordinary people can easily accomplish heroic deeds that are unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people .” Joan speculated.

Mr. Malik smiled proudly.

"Indeed, as you said, Mr. Mage, looking back now, these five travelers are indeed great figures, including the dwarf prince from Icewind Dale, the female ranger from Kirtland, and the red witch from Beacon Mountain. , the half-vampire princess of Parnia, and the leader among the five, His Royal Highness the prince who is deeply loved by us people in the Far East—Roland Colas."
