Knight of the Light

The environment in the Black Forest is strange. Most of it is woodland, with valleys and mountains interspersed with it, as well as rotten and stinking swamps.

The calm swamp is always accompanied by a layer of white mist, and the rotten wood is looming in the mist. If someone accidentally steps into it, the swamp sludge will slowly and irreversibly devour it.

This engulfing is a great psychological torture, and the process often lasts for hours or even days. From the ankle to the drowning waist to the neck, only any struggle and call for help will not change the fate of death.

Even if it is a good adventurer, it is extremely scared to face the swamp of the Black Forest. Because there are not only sticky mud in the swamp, but also various terrible monsters.

For example, some finger-sized carrion larvae. They usually hide in the quagmire and remain motionless. But if you notice the movement, you will come together, bite the victim's skin, and get into the body.

The bugs don't like fresh flesh, but they release venom and accelerate limb decay.

However, the rotten insects in the Black Forest are very popular with necromancers, and worm meal is an important casting material. In order to catch such valuable bugs, many people ventured to settle in the dangerous swamps of the Black Forest.

"Eating insect powder is just a kind of swamp production. There are many good things here. Many people gather to form Heinuma Village." Todd rode a horse and took Zhou Qingfeng to an extremely shabby village, "but Life here is too bitter and too dangerous. "

"It's impossible for us both to explore the elven ruins, we have to think of another way." Returning to Baiya Village was just waiting for the siege, Zhou Qingfeng and Todd decided to find another way. According to the introduction of the barbarians, Zhou Qingfeng decided to try it in Heinuma Village.

But Todd did n’t expect much from Zhou Qingfeng ’s idea. He only repeatedly talked about the poverty and danger of Heinuma Village and the terrible environment here. "This is a village without hope. People living here You are waiting to die. "

Zhou Qingfeng rode on his horse and looked at the broken village in front of him. "We are just struggling to survive."

Compared with the high walls, trenches, crossbow cannons, and extremely stuccoed villages of stucco and white crow, this village is unprotected.

It has only a circle of low wooden fences, cluttered shacks, dirty and disgusting camps, and villagers as numb as alive and dead.

The village is unguarded and has no core leaders. There are very few adventurers here, only more than three hundred ordinary people who are unkempt and lonely.

"Sometimes, poisonous gas erupts in the swamp, and some terrible monsters burst out, killing people at any time. People like Oldus and Lukans do n’t like this place, and they do n’t want to take risks. Should build a village,

Even goblins are reluctant to come, seeing this as a restricted area.

But many poor people have no choice. They can't enter the regular village, so they can only come here and bet their lives in exchange for a small amount of production from the dangerous swamp. So people often die here, and life is especially hard. Todd explained.

A big change is about to happen in the Black Forest, and the believers of Bann want to seize it as a foundation. If they did not resist, the humans in the Black Forest were either sent to blood sacrifices to evil gods, or they were arrested for slavery.

If you don't want to accept this tragic fate, you must fight hard.

Zhou Qingfeng mapped a map of human settlements in the Black Forest in the 'Information Network', including this village built by a swamp. He hopes to use the manpower here to do something big, but it is very difficult.

The people in Kuruma Village are very poor, but if you think that the people here are so foolish, then you are wrong.

Because of poverty, so stupid, so timid, so stupid.

The people here have low self-esteem and cowardice, yet they are sly and treacherous. All kinds of human inferiority can be found in them. Wanting to mobilize them with small favors, good faith persuasion, or heated speeches is a dream.

But Zhou Qingfeng could not find any other manpower that might be used by himself.

A ragged flag was erected at the entrance to the village. There are monster skulls hanging on the wooden fence under the flag, and many heads are hanging on it.

Heads are dry, some are grinning, some are crying, others have wrinkled skin, ugly. I don't know what these people experienced before they died. They have such rich expressions and they have all been preserved.

People in other villages are worried and worried about their fate. But the people in this village are ignorant or indifferent. They are like animals, how bad can they be?

Zhou Qingfeng rode into the village on horseback, and several dark guys popped out of several shacks at the entrance of the village. Take a closer look at all the dirty ones. They wore some hides and skins, and they stinked with foul odor.

These guys can hardly even be called humans. They look weird, show their yellow and black teeth, greet Zhou Qingfeng with a flattering disgusting smile, and sell their various produce from the swamp.

"Sir, do you need the poisonous glands of the reptile?"

"Sir, do you need the fangs of the poisonous water snake?"

"Mr,"

"Go away!" Zhou Qingfeng was disgusted by the stinky smell, and he drank out, and the fine swords were all drawn out. "Keep away from Lao Tzu, you smelly garbage. Dare to approach me and strangle you. "

"Information Network" shrouded fifteen human villages in the Black Forest. In the process of collecting information, Zhou Qingfeng dared to lie to him, the "Holy Light", only those in Heinuma Village.

The people in the village were pitiful, pathetic and hateful. In order to survive in harsh environments, they have developed a set of extremely self-interested codes of conduct.

Under the bayonet, the charming villagers had to step back.

Todd, the barbarian, also watched indifferently, only walking half a horse head to lead the way, and whispered, "This is the case for all these people, there is no use value. The old witch doctor Borg's shack is in front of him, and that guy is wack.

Victor, are you sure your plan works? Old Borg is not a fool. "

"You have to give it a try." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the village that was dirtier than the pig's nest, trying to calm himself down. Trouble is here and there is no choice.

Monsters run rampant in the Black Forest, and warriors and wizards are rare. Many shamans who play poison, curse and even corpses like to hang around here.

Among witch doctors, the old Borg in Kuruma village is special. He is both an old-fashioned and black-hearted trader, and often helps the poor in the village; from time to time, he uses live people to test medicines, and the medicines that can be sold are very effective.

This guy obviously can integrate Kuruma Village into a formal human settlement. But he just didn't do it. He stayed in his shack every day to make unpleasant potions, and carried out various imaginative but ineffective experiments.

Todd leads the way, Zhou Qingfeng dismounts in front of a humble shack. They opened the curtain and walked in.

The space in the shack was not small, a cauldron in the middle, bubbling bubbling. The dark liquid inside smelled bad. A closer look turned out to be a headless bone boiled in it.

Strange corners were filled with weird things. Some are like wooden stakes, some are air-dried animal offal, and there is a wooden shelf full of glass bottles, soaking specimens of unknown origin.

Standing next to the cauldron was a dwarf wearing a cape, with a bald head, long beard, and a somber face. This guy is holding a knife and cutting meat on a table. When Zhou Qingfeng approached, he recognized that a human leg was cut.

There were other human limbs on the table, and it could be seen that they had just been dismembered and bloody.

Zhou Qingfeng was already extremely uncomfortable with the smell of cooking in the cauldron. Seeing the dismembered corpse was even more upset and couldn't help vomiting. This place is almost like a slaughterhouse, working with a perverted murderer.

Todd was too tall and had to bend over and bow his head when he came in. He wasn't used to the environment of the shack either, and shouted at the gnome that dissected the corpse: "Hey, Borg, stop. We want to get a potion for you here."

The old dwarf seemed to notice someone coming in. He looked back at Todd, but suddenly ran to the front of Zhou Qingfeng with his eyes bright, and shouted in surprise.

"Boy, your body is really good, with well-balanced limbs and well-balanced proportions, the most perfect I've seen in recent years. When you're dead, sell me the body? I want to make an autopsy for you."

Zhou Qingfeng was covering her mouth to resist nausea, and yelled: "Anatomy, you deserve to be called anatomy? I don't think you understand the basic structure of a human body. A pig killer is better than you. ! "

The old gnome asked rhetorically, "Are you serious? Where can I find a pig-killer who knows anatomy better than I do? I want to learn."
