Chapter 316 315. Winter Hunting

Sharem raised her hand, the gray-brown owl fell lightly, magic power surged, and the message began to play.

Emperor Solon is scheduled to arrive in Civita fifteen days later. At this time, the lords of the surrounding areas of Civita have gathered to help maintain law and order.

Among the six pillars, except for Royer and Sharem, all had arrived early.

Royer looked into the distance, was silent for a long time, and then took Charem's hand and walked in the opposite direction of Civita City.

"Aren't you going?"

"Go, but I don't want to appear in front of them now... It will be troublesome to deal with those lords and princes for fifteen days." Royer said, "Find a place with plenty of prey to rest for a few days."

Xialem didn't object. She and Royer were both outliers among the six pillars and neither fit in with the crowd.

It is far easier to deal with monsters and beasts than with humans.

A rampaging, bull-shaped monster with thick brown hair was decapitated by Royer. He skillfully peeled off the monster's skin and bled it. He laughed while busy: "Warren and Waller did a good job in this matter. Before, we After catching the prey, their hands flew over the prey and cleaned it up in a short time... In comparison... what I did was really too rough. "

The bloody beef was placed on the bonfire, and the dripping blood made the smoke of the fireworks particularly abundant. The sleepy Sharem was made to cough non-stop.

She and Roye used to solve the problem of food and clothing in the wild in this way, and never felt that there was a problem, but after being taught by Lu Yu...

Shareem looked at the black spots on the barbecue and the dry appearance, and stared blankly for a long time.

"It seems that they can bake well without Lu Yu..."

Both of them are pure adventurers. They know that they can't force anything in the wild. They have always eaten whatever they have, no matter the taste, as long as they are full, but...

Royer took a bite. The meat was dry and woody, and tasted like chewing wax.

"Lu Yu will bring some seasonings with him when he travels... Let's bring them with us in the future."

"Agree..."

"I try to be on par with Lu Yu and the others."

"Please try harder."

The rustling sound in the distance made Sharem stand up. Her sight passed through the obstacle, and the surge of magic instantly outlined the outline of the person peeping in the distance.

Sharem left the bonfire, and after making sure that the wind she stirred up would not extinguish the flames of the barbecue, she rode the wind. When she came back, there was a shivering squirrel girl next to her with a dirty little face.

With a high percentage of human blood, she is slightly taller than Lulu and looks to be only eleven or twelve years old. The squirrel man's iconic fluffy big tail is somewhat bald, and the remaining fur looks like dandelion pom-poms. It will fall off when blown. The hair on the ears is also sparse, with only three or two clumps left swaying in the wind, which is very pitiful.

Royer put down the barbecue in his hand: "You peeked at us for a long time."

After a brief panic, the girl's eyes remained on the remaining two-thirds of the monster's body. Her swallowing action let the two of them know her intention.

"want to?"

There was a look of hesitation on the girl's muddy face. She was afraid of Xialem who grabbed her casually and subconsciously stepped back, but hunger finally made her let go of everything...

"Can...let me have a bite?"

Royer handed over the barbecue he had taken a bite of.

The girl began to bite fiercely, without any sign of eating. At this time, she was like a wild beast, and her eyes even glowed green when biting.

Xialem didn't hesitate and handed over the portion in her hand.

The girl ate what she had in hand, still staring at the dead monster's body.

She ate too quickly, and the girl choked. With her face flushed, she waited for Sharem's water bottle. After taking a big gulp, the girl let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Roye and Xia Leim staring at her, the girl chewed a lot less.

Royer cut some pieces of meat from the monster as food for the next few days, and then gave the rest to the girl.

"Are you adventurers..." the girl asked hesitantly.

"My name is Roye, she is Charem, and we are indeed adventurers... What do you seem to want to entrust?"

The girl's eyes lit up: "Are you very powerful?"

"Relatively speaking, our strength is pretty good." Royer asked, "Would you like to hear your name and your client?"

The girl hesitated for a while: "They all call me Mudtail...some people call me Little Mudba...A very scary monster came near our village, and many people have been bitten to death...Are you asking a high price?" "

"It depends on the strength of the monster. Can you describe the details?"

Little Niba shook his head crazily: "People in the village may know... Our village is relatively poor. Do you want a high price..."

Xiao Niba was very nervous when he asked about the price for the second time, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Take me to have a look. Maybe the other party is not a great monster and is easy to deal with?" Royer smiled and patted Xiao Niba's head, and took the initiative to help her cut up the monster's meat and carry it on his back.

Walking in the mountain forest full of fallen leaves, Xiao Niba helped Roye with psychological training several times.

"We are really poor... Please don't be angry if you can't afford the price you want."

Royer's repeated assurances still could not reassure Xiaoniba, so he had to change the topic.

"This is not far from Civita City. There are monsters in the village. Can't we ask the city guard to deal with it? Is the Adventurer Association in the city not functioning? No adventurers come here?"

Little Niba trembled when she heard Civita City. Xialem felt her strong uneasiness and glanced at Roye.

Xiao Niba lowered his head and said, "We... don't dare to submit the commission."

"Because you are squirrel people?"

"..."

"The new lord exempted taxes, distributed a lot of relief food, improved the status of the squirrel people, pardoned a large number of slaves, and recycled the crops produced in the next two years at a high price... He is a pretty good person, you should To send a commission."

Little Niba still lowered his head: "Many people died..."

Royer knew that she was talking about the Civita rebellion, but he didn't know how to reply to this heavy topic.

Sharem emphasized with a smile: "The relief food is free, try to get it. I heard that the vacant land nearby is on a first-come, first-served basis and is only given to the squirrel people."

"I used to say that too."

Royer sighed in his heart, feeling more exhausted than hunting high-level monsters.

The village that Xiao Niba mentioned was just a dozen shabby wooden houses deep in the mountain forest. During the day, all the young and middle-aged men in the village were out hunting, and there were only old, weak, women and children in the village.

After discovering that Little Niba had brought a stranger back, and he was still a human, many squirrel people quickly returned to the house, took out wooden sticks and pitchforks, and nervously pointed them at Royer and Sharem.

Little Niba hurriedly shouted: "No, no, they are adventurers...they came for that terrifying monster."

"Look, look, this is the food they gave me... They shouldn't have any ill intentions..."

Little Niba's mother rushed out and held her in her arms.

Royer and Charem threw the food on the ground: "I'm only interested in that monster... I don't need any money, just a little, and all the materials are mine."

Hearing this, the squirrel people villagers looked at each other in shock, and slowly lowered their weapons aimed at Roye.

Someone asked tentatively: "Do you really don't need money?"

Royer repeated: "No money is required, but all the materials must belong to me. Now, who can describe to me what that monster looks like."

Xiao Niba's mother saw that the villagers had lowered their guard and said hesitantly: "My husband has seen it, but he is still hunting outside..."

"It doesn't matter, I can wait."

The pieces of meat were distributed equally to every household in the village. The free meat made everyone smile, and soon the village was filled with the aroma of meat.

Xiaoniba's house was leaky and extremely simple, which made Roye suspect that no one could live in the room when it rained.

"Sorry... we don't have tea or cakes... here are some pine nuts we collected, please enjoy." Little Niba's mother offered a small handful of pine nuts with trembling hands.

Royer didn't go to get it. He could guess that this was the only food the family had.

If he wasn't so unbearably hungry, how could Little Niba, who was very wary of humans, peek at them eating and not want to leave.

"Are you fleeing and hiding here?"

Little Niba's mother said: "I am a pure-blooded squirrel, and Little Niba's father is an ordinary human... Our identities still have a glimmer of hope to survive in Civita. The real refugees have left Civita, but I heard that after the arrival of the new lord, some squirrel people came back and watched near the border..."

"Are you also waiting and watching?"

Little Niba's mother touched the child in her arms and nodded: "Many ordinary people who did nothing during the war were killed by the lord's army, and they were said to be rebels... The descendants of those lords are still in Civita. The city is alive and well... Some people say that the new lord is good and should be given some time... but why doesn't he hang those bad guys? "

"Perhaps Solon's laws are like this." Royer explained.

"If the elders do evil, the descendants will enjoy the blessings. Is this the law of Solon?"

Xiao Niba's mother didn't have much knowledge, but every word she said made Roye's heart sink.

He could explain, he could refute and leave her speechless...

But Royer gave up.

"Some people have always said that His Majesty the Emperor was deceived by others, which is why Civita suffered so much trouble. When we heard that His Majesty the Emperor was coming soon, we also wanted to see if everything would be different."

"Mom, the meat is ready!"

Xiao Niba's mother quickly stood up, took out the pieces of meat boiled in boiled water, and added some salt she didn't know where she got it from. After she set aside Xiao Niba's share, she was so hungry that she didn't hesitate to eat the rest. It was brought to Roye.

"I have lived in Civita City before and have met many adventurers. You are different from many adventurers... I have never seen anyone who doesn't ask for the details of the monster and doesn't want money, just materials... Thank you, that monster It’s very dangerous, please act within your capacity.”

Royer, who was seen through, let go: "Xialem and I are more dangerous than most monsters on this land. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of the monsters that harm this village. In the name of Royer oath!"

"Then I will swear an oath in the name of Xialem." Xialem, who had dozed off, woke up at the right time.

Since the two teamed up, they have killed the highest level monsters comparable to the seventh level. This is already the record of the top adventurers in the entire Mera. They didn't think that such an enemy could appear in Civita, a place where there had never been any records of sightings of seventh-level monsters.

Little Niba held the wooden bowl of meat and stuffed it into his mother's arms with eager movements.

Just as Little Niba and her mother were about to enjoy the food, there was a shout from outside the door.

Xiao Niba opened the door, his pupils dilated instantly, and a staggering figure covered in blood fell into the room.

Little Niba's mother rushed forward in horror, looking at the cluster of arrows behind the man, trembling all over and at a loss.

"Run...run...noble, Dongshou!" The angry man's eyes dimmed a little after he finished speaking.

Royer stood up. His many years of combat experience allowed him to tell at a glance that the man had suffered magic damage in addition to arrow wounds. It was hard to imagine how he returned home with so many injuries.

Everything happened so suddenly. Royer, who was not mentally prepared, was still in shock and could not recover when he heard an explosion outside the house.

The village was in complete chaos. The warning bell from the village tower had not rung twice before it roared and fell to the ground.

The cavalry galloping in the distance arrived at the outskirts of the village in the blink of an eye.

When Royer left the house, he saw the cavalry speeding past and slashed an old squirrel man with a knife on an old squirrel man who had no time to run. The head rolled down at Royer's feet and his eyes widened.

The sword was unsheathed and put away again, and the murderous knight's head was missing.

Royer walked towards the cavalry who were pouring into the village. With red eyes, he roared angrily: "Whose subordinates are you? Whose subordinates are you!!"

"If you mind your own business, kill!"

The rockets in the cavalry's hands shot out, and the magician in the distance released a spell that instantly covered the entire village.

After the explosion, the village burst into flames, and countless people who could not escape howled and rolled on the ground.

Sharem wanted to use water magic to put out the fire, but was shocked to find that there was no water source around, and the water drawn from the land was not enough to extinguish the raging fire.

It was also at this stunned moment that another round of explosions sounded.

The cavalry's killing and the magician's cleaning are carried out simultaneously. This is simply the way of the military formation, but this is not a battlefield!

The squirrel people living here are all ordinary people. When entering the village, Roye judged by the way they held their weapons that there were no remnants of rebels among them.

They are slaughtering the defenseless people of Solon!

"Stop it!"

Royer didn't want to take action against one of his own men, but the knife in his hand roared as he looked at the brutal behavior of each of the cavalry.

The sword was swung out again, and the sharp breath left a deep ravine on the ground. Several cavalrymen and horses who could not escape were split into two halves.

"I asked you all to stop, don't you understand?"

"Elland ordered that all witnesses be shot to death, regardless of race!"

Magically delivered orders echoed over the burning village.
