Black Knight From Blue Star

 Although the quilt in the guest room looks very clean, it may be because there has been no sunlight for a long time, and the quilt exudes a strange smell.

 Humans living here are used to it and should be able to accept it, but Hardy cannot accept it for the time being.

 So he put himself in a continuous cold-resistant state, then leaned against the corner, sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

 The quality of rest in this state is not very good, but it is much better than not being able to rest at all.

 After about five hours of resting with his eyes closed, Hardy opened his eyes and then went downstairs.

Then I saw the owner of the hotel walking back from outside with his daughter. He was carrying a big bag behind him, and the little daughter was holding a piece of dough or something in her hand and was eating it in small bites with a happy face.

“Your Excellency, are you awake?” the middle-aged man asked with an attentive smile.

Hadi smiled and said: "Yes, I want to walk around. Are there any taboos in this town?"

“That’s not true, but be careful when going outside the town. The lizard people in the north keep coming to cause trouble for us.”

"Thanks."

　Hardy nodded and left.

He could see that the middle-aged man had exchanged the piece of dried meat for a large bag of grain.

 This is normal. Although the dried meat is valuable, it is eaten up quickly.

 If it is grain, boil it into batter and eat it slowly. It can be eaten for a long time.

 This is how we should live our lives.

 The world is still very dark and the weather is cold.

 But not to the point of freezing, just close.

There are occasional people walking on the street, but they are also in a hurry, and some children come in from outside carrying some dead grass and dead wood.

 It must be used for heating.

The clothes on each child's body are quite tattered, most of them don't wear shoes, and their feet are covered with overlapping black scars.

 These are the signs of ice sores.

Hadi walked around and finally came to the entrance of the town.

 Where the battle took place yesterday, most of the human corpses and lizardman corpses were transported away.

But there were still a few people squatting there, seemingly doing something.

Hadi used dim vision to look over and found that they were using stone knives that were not too sharp to cut the corpses of several lizardmen.

 They put the cut meat and offal into the basket beside them.

 One person even picked up a piece of meat and ate it on the spot.

 Looking quite barbaric, but Hardy thought it was normal.

Not to mention that this world without the sun has no "output" and is full of hungry people.

 It's already pretty good if cannibalism doesn't happen, so what if you eat some lizard people!

Furthermore, Hardy could see that the lizardmen came here to hunt humans, and it was natural for humans to 'eat' them back.

Hardy stood there and watched for a while, and then there were footsteps behind him.

 He turned around and saw the old man Moklang walking towards him.

“Sir Hardy, you are here.”

 “You’re looking for me?” Hardy asked curiously.

 The old man smiled, walked over, stood with Hadi, and said, "Don't blame them. There is really no other way. We can't waste any food."

Hardy was a little surprised. The old man seemed to be quite 'afraid' of himself.

 Subsequently, it became clear that Mokron still regarded himself as a ‘Lida’, a member of the royal family.

 All intelligent races in the demon world are managed by the royal family. Logically speaking, the royal family should prohibit intelligent races from cannibalism.

Hadi did not speak, but just asked: "Old man, do you think this world can still be saved?"

"Of course." Moklang smiled and said: "With the royal family leading us, of course we can be saved. And I heard that the Royal Family of Russell is ready to raise the Sun God Throne high in the sky again. Soon, our world will It becomes warm again and everything grows.”

The Lawser royal family holds the Sun God Throne high? Shouldn't it be Aya?

 It seems that the timeline has not reached that point yet, and I may be able to do something. He thought for a while and asked: "Old man, do you have a map of this area? I often get lost."

 “Yes!” Mekron nodded.

 As the mayor of the town, he still has the topographic map of the area.

 Generally speaking, a map is one of the important strategic ‘resources’ of a region and will not be shown to others casually.

But Moklang believed that Hadi was a member of the Ridda family, so he was not wary.

 “Your Excellency, please follow me.”

Hardy followed Meklan to his home again. In the study, the old man dug out a yellowed parchment map from a drawer.

 The map is very rough, just a few icons indicating the approximate areas nearby.

 But for Hardy, that was enough.

After looking at it for a while, he returned the map to the old man and gave him a piece of dried meat as reward: "Thank you."

"Meat…"

The old man originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing the dried meat, he took it over by mistake.

 He and his mother-in-law have not tasted meat for more than a year.

 After all, he would not eat the body of a lizard man.

After coming out of the mayor's house, Hardy was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to wander around the town and inquire about nearby information.

 Four days passed quickly.

 During this period, he learned a lot of information that should be considered important.

For example, the Rausel royal family’s plan to raise the throne will be carried out in more than a year.

 The reason why the whole demon world knows this is very simple. In such a harsh environment, all intelligent creatures need "hope".

Hold the Sun God’s Throne high, which is the hope of the entire demon clan.

The more people know about this, the more stable the demonic world will be.

Another news that Hardy is more concerned about is that the Evil Eye clan has been exiled.

 Because they are the main murderers who caused the death of the Sun God, everyone in the entire Evil Eye clan is now shouting for beatings.

 The Evil Eyes have now left their original place of residence and dispersed.

 In the valley next to the Lizardman camp, there is an Evil Eye tribe living there.

Evil Eye Clan?

 The Evil Eyes of this era are real scientists and great mages.

Had it not been for the long-term turmoil that caused a large number of their technologies to be lost later, otherwise the Evil Eye tribe would definitely have surpassed the Elf tribe and become the strongest race.

Hadi is very interested. He wants to trade some spells of this era from the Evil Eye clan.

 As a semi-researcher, Hardy is also very interested in new magic theories.

 “Then go and have a look.”

 Hardy nodded, left the town, and set off to the north.

After walking for more than four hours, Kuai Xiao found the lizard people’s residence, a small slump of thatched cottages and some strange square earth houses.

Hadi did not alert these lizardmen, but bypassed it and headed east.

 Then he came to a valley and stopped here.

 Because when he arrived here, he had already felt a powerful source of magic power in the valley.

 The other party seemed to have discovered Hadi and was 'walking' here.

 Half a minute later, a huge eyeball appeared in mid-air in front of Hardy.

"Humanity?"

 “Why are there such powerful humans!” (End of this chapter)
