Chapter 68

The entrance of Carne Village.

It was still surrounded by that circle of wooden fences that didn't serve much defensive purpose, and there was no change from the last time he came.

Tang Zheng's reappearance caused a round of side-glances from everyone in the village, especially the matter of helping the eldest daughter of the Emmet family carry weeds.

For the women in the village who didn't have much fun, it was simply an incredible piece of gossip.

On the path.

Three figures walked toward the depths of the village.

"This time I still have to trouble you, Village Chief." Tang Zheng said politely to the Village Chief on the side.

"No need to be so polite, my lord."

"The room has long been cleaned out, it's still the same one you stayed in last time."

The dark-skinned Village Chief hurriedly spoke; for Tang Zheng's arrival again, although he was somewhat surprised, he had no impatience, and there was even a hint of respect in his tone.

The room had already been cleaned?

Hearing this sentence from the Village Chief, Tang Zheng's footsteps paused imperceptibly, and then he continued forward.

At the same time, the corner of his eye glanced at a middle-aged man following beside the Village Chief.

The other party carried a bow and arrow on his back, his right hand swinging normally with his pace, while his left hand, which was facing away from Tang Zheng's direction, was always pressed at his waist.

Tang Zheng could clearly feel that the other party was somewhat nervous, looking from time to time at the little Evil Spirit Dog following behind him.

Does he recognize the Evil Spirit Dog?

If he remembered correctly, the only villager in Carne Village who possessed a class was called Laqimong; looking at the bow and arrow on the other party's back, it should be this middle-aged man.

Several thoughts flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, his tone changed, and he asked the Village Chief somewhat curiously: "Have any other people come to the village recently?"

The Village Chief obviously couldn't have known that he would return to Carne Village again; since he didn't know, yet cleaned the room, it must be because other people had come to the village.

"Yes."

The Village Chief nodded, "Several adventurer teams have come recently, all stayed in the village for one night, and then left in a hurry."

"Do you know what they came to do?"

Tang Zheng's gaze flickered, and he already had some guesses.

"Adventurers are all big shots, not people like us can inquire about. And we don't know anything." The wrinkles on the Village Chief's face lifted, he laughed heartily, and waved his hand.

Tang Zheng heard this and looked at the Village Chief with surprise.

A very smart answer.

This might also be the way of survival for commoners.

Although there was no useful information, it was not hard to guess.

For a border village like Carne Village where few outsiders come all year round, the sudden appearance of several adventurer teams was highly likely related to his actions in the forest during this time.

It was still the same room as last time.

Tang Zheng walked into the room and saw that the whole room had been cleaned very cleanly, and even the spiderwebs on the ceiling beams had disappeared.

"Awoo."

The little Evil Spirit Dog was observing the surrounding environment very lively.

"When there are outsiders, don't bark randomly in the future." Tang Zheng looked at the little Evil Spirit Dog and said faintly.

"Woo."

The little Evil Spirit Dog's lively movements paused, it shrank its neck, and its ears drooped.

The intelligence of monsters is mostly not too low; under the contact during this period, the intelligence of this little Evil Spirit Dog was even higher than Tang Zheng expected.

As long as it wasn't complex words, this Evil Spirit Dog could understand completely.

Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed into the void, took out a Goblin corpse, and threw it to the little Evil Spirit Dog.

"Today's dinner."

On the other side.

After bringing Tang Zheng to that room, the Village Chief and Laqimong walked back on the uneven dirt road of the village. "Has something happened in the forest recently?" The hearty smile on the Village Chief's face had disappeared, and his face was full of worry.

After a while, he found no response.

"What's wrong today? So quiet." The Village Chief looked at Laqimong beside him in confusion.

"It's the Evil Spirit Dog!"

Laqimong's tone was somewhat trembling.

"What?" The Village Chief looked blank, not understanding what Laqimong was talking about for a moment.

"The monster following behind that person is an Evil Spirit Dog." Laqimong raised his head to look at the Village Chief, his expression somewhat pale.

"It is a monster even more terrifying than an Ogre; in the adventurer difficulty rating, it is a terrifying existence that reaches a value of 45."

"That one is clearly a cub; cunning monsters like Evil Spirit Dogs will definitely guard their cubs."

Laqimong took a deep breath and spoke seriously.

=9+Shu_ba

"Difficulty?" The Village Chief was still somewhat dazed.

The so-called "difficulty" is a value used by the Adventurer Guild to rate the strength of monsters; for example, the difficulty value of an adult male is three.

Laqimong, as a hunter in the village, usually besides picking medicinal herbs and hunting ordinary wild beasts on the outskirts of the Great Forest of Tob.

Also needs to take the village's surplus wheat and other agricultural products to "E-Rantel" to sell, in exchange for and to purchase some basic supplies.

Therefore, he knew more adventurer knowledge than the people in the village.

"Village Chief, that person is also not an adventurer."

Laqimong lowered his voice, his gaze glancing obscurely at the direction of the house where Tang Zheng was staying,

"No matter what rank of adventurer, they will carry metal badges made according to their rank in conspicuous positions on their bodies."

Pure black hair color, this obvious outsider characteristic, and the Evil Spirit Dog cub following beside him, made Laqimong have to be nervous.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt it was a dangerous person.

Tap tap~

A light sound of footsteps rang out.

Laqimong, who was just about to continue speaking, closed his mouth and raised his head. He looked toward the direction the sound came from with the Village Chief.

Just see.

Enri was carrying a wooden tray and walking toward their direction.

The Village Chief saw this scene, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Where are you going, little Enri."

"Village Chief, Uncle Laqimong."

Enri saw the two people in front, hurriedly spoke, and then her cheeks were somewhat shy:

"Mother asked me to send some food to that adventurer lord, as thanks for helping carry the weeds."

Laqimong glanced at the tray in Enri's hand, a bowl of steaming bean soup, in which meat cubes could clearly be seen, and a plate of washed nuts.

"Since when has that guy Emmet been so generous?" Laqimong whistled, half-jokingly.

"Alright. Enri, you go ahead first."

The Village Chief waved his hand gently.

Enri nodded respectfully to the two people and left in a hurry.

"Village Chief..." Laqimong saw Enri leave, and only then spoke again.

The Village Chief waved his hand this time, interrupting Laqimong's words, and said softly: "Relax a bit, Laqimong, that person is coming to our village for the second time."

Laqimong was silent, thought for a short while: "Should we go to "E-Rantel" once? I always feel that something we don't know has happened in the forest."

The Village Chief didn't speak this time, but turned to look at the direction Enri disappeared, and continued to walk forward somewhat silently.
