Chapter 303 Praying for Rescue

Finally, the village chief finally made a decision. A total of four villagers traveled together, and the leader was of course the calm hunter Abner.

Everyone trusts Abner. After all, he is the most skilled hunter in the village. It is said that he has a small amount of orc blood, so his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people.

There was no such thing as a carriage in the village, so a few people loaded up on food and left the village on foot.

On the way out of the village, hunter Abner looked serious and said to everyone seriously:

"The situation in Greenbrough is a bit chaotic recently. Everyone should be careful and always be alert to whether there are bandits around."

Drought will undoubtedly bring about food shortages, and food shortages will cause survival difficulties, so many ordinary farmers have to leave their hometowns and eventually become robbers and bandits wandering around.

They have now become a major scourge in Greenbru Province. Even if the local extraordinary nobles and churches regularly clean up, they are still unable to kill them all.

After all, as long as the source of food shortage is not solved, bandits will continue to appear. In other words, every farmer who is about to starve to death in his hometown will be a potential bandit.

The four of them soon began to cross mountains and ridges, constantly marching in places where there were no roads. The process was very difficult, and the food they carried on their backs was getting less and less.

A villager sighed and said:

"It would be great if we had a railway here... I heard that in the East Coast Province, there is something called a railway, which allows people to ride on a large carriage called a train. It can go very fast!"

Abner shook his head and said calmly: "I think the railways and trains told by outsiders are just stories. How can such bizarre things exist? They must be exaggerated."

The two villagers except Kano looked at each other, feeling that this might indeed be the case.

If you think about it carefully, how can a train that can travel between two cities in a short time exist?

What a powerful horse it takes to pull it!

Kano smiled and said nothing from the beginning to the end.

The food for these people quickly became less and less, and they were about to starve.

Thanks to Abner, an experienced hunter, he killed several hares with his bow and arrow, successfully providing enough food for the four of them.

However, when setting up camp to eat roast rabbit meat, he frowned and said, "It's just that we are lucky... Many hunters who starved to death were not skilled enough, but did not have enough prey..."

Kano has always been taciturn in the team. Now he has a stubble on his face and is not as handsome as he was three or four years ago, but his temperament and appearance are still outstanding among the others.

Hunter Abner would often stare at him every night when he set up camp.

"What's wrong?"

Kano held the wooden stick used for barbecue in his hand and looked at Abner with a smile.

The light of the bonfire penetrated the dark night, making his eyes deep and mysterious, and at the same time making the expression on his face more vivid.

Abner shook his head and said very calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've thought you were a little strange this year."

He waved his hand and continued:

"You don't actually look like a farmer."

Under the weak firelight, shadows intertwined, and the outline of Kano's face was outlined.

"You said I don't look like a farmer, so what could it be? Abner, who do you think I look like?"

Abner frowned, feeling more and more that there was something weird about the young man named Kano.

He didn't answer immediately.

Kano by the campfire continued speaking calmly.

"Abner, do you think 'identity' is shaped by culture and social background? For example, is everyone's identity determined by the group, social and cultural environment to which they belong... In layman's terms, for example If a person is born a noble, does he necessarily have to be a noble? "

Abner was a little confused and asked: "Isn't it?"

Kano smiled, with an unworldly indifference in his eyes.

"Perhaps we can also think differently, where each person's identity is established through its actions and choices, rather than being determined by external factors."

"How a person is born does not determine who he is, but the choices he makes in life after he is born ultimately determine who he is."

He stared into Abner's eyes and continued:

"So which one do you think is more correct among these two completely different views?"

Abner was silent for a long time, slowly shook his head and said:

"I don't know, but I suddenly understand who you look like. It's like an old witch who lives near another village. She often talks about fate to outsiders, and like you, she always says things that you can't listen to. Understand the riddle.”

Kano laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, hahahahahahaha, actually I thought you would say that I am like a philosopher."

Abner was silent for a while and then asked: "What is a philosopher?"

"A bunch of people who have had too much to eat."

Abner shook his head firmly and immediately said with certainty: "Then you are definitely not. You often live your life without a meal, and the woman who followed you left you because of this."

Kano was silent for a long time and said calmly:

"Actually, it wasn't entirely because of this that she left me in the end, Sangbel. She said that people like me don't belong to anyone and will never be able to give love to others."

"Maybe she's right."

"I'm selfish."

Another reason is that Sang Beier can't get pregnant... I don't know if it's fate or other reasons, but Sang Beier hasn't gotten pregnant in the past few years.

If she can get pregnant and have a child, there is still hope, but she didn't give birth to a child in the end, and there was no sign of pregnancy, and it was absolutely certain that Kano would not return to the family.

So, Sang Beier gave up staying with Kano.

She chose to ask for a compensation for resigning from the Fisher family and return to her hometown to live a new life.

Kano calmly wrote a letter to the Fisher family and asked someone to take Sang Beier away, while he continued to stay in the remote village.

In the past few years since he left the family, he has actually lived a happy and free life, and he doesn't want to go back there at all.

Of course, Kano also made a promise that if the Fisher family encounters a situation where he must go back, he will rush back to the family as soon as possible no matter what.

After all, the extraordinary power on his body and the life of the past twenty years were all given by the Fisher family and the great Lord of Loss. Kano knew one thing very clearly, that he had the responsibility and obligation to repay the family and Him.

After several days and nights of traveling, the villagers finally arrived at a nearby town and immediately came to the church of the Redemption Church in that town.

"It's here..."

They seemed a little nervous, but finally came to the church and saw the deputy of the Redemption Church priest. They immediately said that they were farmers from a nearby village and came to ask for help because of the drought.

"Great Lord of Redemption, please save our village!"

The deputy thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "The priest will see you at the right time."

The few people waited tiredly and anxiously, and finally, the priest of the Redemption Church received them at noon the next day.

It was a middle-aged fat priest, squinting his eyes and saying:

"So, what do you want, water or food?"

Abner and others immediately said:

"We need both, we all need both! Sir! Whether it is water to solve the drought problem or food to solve this month's ration problem, our village needs it very much!"

The fat priest laughed and said disdainfully:

"Hahahahahaha, you are too beautiful, you are really greedy, the great Lord of Redemption does not like greedy people, you go back!"

Abner and others looked at each other, they came here with great difficulty, how could they go back like this?

The fat priest had stood up and was ready to turn around and leave.

Abner took a deep breath and begged in a hoarse voice:

"Sir! Please save us! Hundreds of people in the village are waiting for food, and there are still many children! If we go back like this, many people will not survive this year!"

"Humph, you are not qualified to be saved!" The fat priest left without looking back.

Kano knew what was going on. The fat priest in front of him was just a transcendent who had ascended from the origin. He had no ability to solve the drought.

Not to mention ascending from the origin, even if it was a qualitative change, it was impossible.

Several people begged hard, but it was useless. However, the food they brought from the village was about to run out. They had no idea what to do. Whether they went back or not, the final outcome would be tragic.

Suddenly, Abner had an idea.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see someone..."

"The village chief told me that there is a powerful hermit transcendent somewhere. He will definitely find a way to help us... He can bring our village back to life and solve all problems."

His voice was a little hoarse, but the other two villagers beside Kano were ecstatic. Although they felt a little strange, there was no other way.

"Kano, let's go."

Before they left, Abner looked at Kano, who had been silent all the time.

"Don't worry, I will solve all the problems."

The group left the town and came to an uninhabited jungle a few days later, and then stopped beside a hidden cave.

As if it was a secret of nature, the trees wrapped with vines almost completely concealed its existence. The morning light penetrated into the ceiling made of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows around the cave.

"Abner, where is the reclusive extraordinary person you mentioned?"

After a villager asked, Abner took a deep breath and knelt down directly.

He knelt on the ground, his eyes red, and shouted hoarsely:

"Please save my village, save my wife and daughter! I brought you the sacrifice! Lord of the Star Embracing Society, please meet me!"

Kano looked into the cave calmly, and could feel a bone-chilling coldness.
