Chapter 112 Lady in the Forest's Early Warning
The footprints on the ground were very clear. The three Waynes ignored the burning village and soon followed the footprints into the swamp forest.
After learning that Wayne had no experience in operating in swamps, George took the initiative and followed the tracks while teaching him how to survive in the swamp, such as how to avoid poisonous snakes, how to find water sources, and how to determine where the mud traps were and where they were. A place to put your feet on.
Everyone stopped and walked along the way. George was indeed a legendary demon hunter who had been active for hundreds of years and was finally able to challenge the green dragon. The practical teaching along the way allowed Wayne to learn a lot of useful knowledge.
Although it is difficult to find the footprints in the swamp, the senses of demon hunters are beyond ordinary people, and they can always find the correct path through clues.
After about twenty minutes, a ruins paved with hard stone slabs appeared in front of the three of them.
"Elven ruins!"
Through the architectural style and some broken elven writing, Wayne immediately recognized the origin of this ruin.
But there is nothing surprising about this. In this world, you can see the ruins of elves anywhere. That prosperous civilization once spread its footprints all over the world.
Although their civilization has almost died, you can always find their heritage in places where humans have not yet set foot.
The three of them did not stop outside the ruins, and soon followed the dried mud tracks and found the entrance to an underground ruins.
Before entering the underground ruins, Wayne's witcher's keen hearing heard the noisy human voices coming from below the ruins.
"Quickly, light the fire."
"The moisture in the swamp is too heavy. The children and the elderly are almost freezing if they come here all night." "
I'm hungry, Mom, I'm hungry, Dad, where are you? ?"
"Stop arguing, that monster just flew away, be careful to lure it back again."
Listening to these noisy sounds, Wayne looked at each other and the other two, and then walked out first.
Just as I walked down the stairs, I saw hundreds of plainly dressed civilians crowded into the damp underground ruins.
In the center of the crowd, under the command of a middle-aged strong man, some young adults were holding piles of things that looked like ancient books, adding them to the fire like firewood.
Wayne was stunned at first and couldn't help walking up to take a closer look. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of others.
A middle-aged man who seemed to have a good status among civilians came out of the crowd and wanted to ask something.
Wayne suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and shouted to those who were throwing more books into the fire:
"Put down what you are holding, don't burn it."
Several other young people heard this. , all stopped, but the middle-aged strong man ignored Wayne, holding a pile of books and about to throw them into the fire.
Wayne was not polite to him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar. He lifted the strong man, who was about 1.8 meters tall, like a little chicken. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break Wei Wei's collar. Well arms.
"Did you hear that? I told you not to burn it. These books are quite valuable and are not for you to use as firewood."
Wayne's voice was stern and his figure was tall and majestic, which quickly frightened the surrounding villagers. , causing them all to retreat to the middle position involuntarily.
After many upgrades, the strengthening of holy water, and the strengthening of genetic mutations, Wayne's current physical strength may not be the top among demon hunters, but it is definitely among the top three.
Regardless of strength, speed or physique, it has far exceeded that of ordinary humans, about four to five times their strength.
Without using weapons, he could defeat dozens of poor people even with his bare hands.
Upon seeing this, some timid villagers immediately put the books in their hands on the ground and shrank back into the crowd. The leading middle-aged man first looked at the armor and weapons on Wayne and George, and then hesitated a few times. After a few seconds, he asked carefully:
"Sir, we are all villagers from Lower Wallen Village who fled here. We have neither money nor food. Please don't hurt us."
Wayne looked at it and was singled out by himself. Lifting his hand, the strong man whose cheeks were already red from suppressing the pain looked at the fearful or worried expressions of the civilians around him, but did not continue to embarrass them. With a gentle push from his right hand, the middle-aged strong man was thrown away. Three meters, he fell to the ground.
George frowned and approached Wayne, and asked softly:
"What's wrong? Wayne, what happened?"
Wayne pointed to the books on the ground and the remains that had been burned to ashes in the fire, and gently He shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, but these manuscripts should be left by the elves. I seemed to have seen the drawings of the Griffin School just now." "It would be such a waste if they burned them.
"
George was shocked when he heard this. After hearing the drawings of the Griffin School, he did not bother to ask Wayne again, but began to collect the somewhat dilapidated and damaged manuscripts on the ground.
Wayne looked like a disguised human being at this time. He was wearing fine armor and had a gleaming sword on his waist. He was tall and handsome, and was accompanied by two bodyguard-like figures, so these villagers subconsciously thought that He may be a noble young master from somewhere, but no one dares to make any mistakes.
Seeing that all the villagers were silent, Wayne looked at the leading middle-aged man, frowned, and asked calmly:
"We saw a green dragon attacking the village, and we came here specially to deal with that Only a green dragon."
"But when we arrived at the village, the green dragon was nowhere to be found, and you villagers seemed to have evacuated in advance, so we found this place."
Hearing that Wayne and the others were specifically here to deal with the Green Dragon warriors, rather than robbers or thugs, the leading middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "
Sir, I am from Lower Wallen Village. Village Chief, Jeff, I don't know if there is anything I can do for you."
Wayne raised his head arrogantly, with no expression on his face. He knew that the people of Wellen were simple and honest, and he couldn't be too gentle with these unruly people, otherwise , these guys will take advantage of it and be quite ignorant.
He raised his voice slightly, imitating the speaking habits of the nobles in Vizima City, and said,
"Tell me, civilians, how did you find this place? How did you evacuate the village in advance?" "
Also, Why did that green dragon attack you, and where has it gone now?"
Wayne's series of questions made the leading village chief, Jeff, a little dazed. However, he was afraid that Wayne and others would be detrimental to the villagers, so the village chief Jeff He said with a somewhat tangled expression:
"We don't know what's going on. We don't know why the green dragon came to attack our village." "
Last night after nightfall, Mrs. Lin Zhong's messenger suddenly ran to my house to inform me. Let's take shelter in advance."
"We didn't dare not listen to Madam's words, so we followed the address Madam told us and hid in this elf ruins overnight." "
As for the green dragon you're talking about, we were just escaping. I saw it burning our village from a distance." "
But when I was running for my life, who dared to look more, in the end I only saw it flying towards the depths of the swamp."
It was Mrs. Lin Zhong who informed these villagers. Having avoided it in advance, Wayne's frown deepened.
If this is really the case, then obviously the three old witches knew in advance that the green dragon would attack Xiawalen Village. Flies do not bite seamless eggs. The reason why the green dragon attacked was probably because of these three An old witch caused trouble.
However, since no one saw exactly where the flying dragon flew to, the clues were interrupted.
Wayne turned to look at George. The demon hunters of the Griffin School had collected the manuscripts and were holding a manuscript, looking at it with a slightly excited expression. Apparently they had found the equipment he just saw. drawing.
He thought for a while and said to the village chief and George:
"George, these villagers will definitely have a hard time staying here without water, food, or heating supplies." "
Ask the village chief to send some people and You go back to the village together. The green dragon there has flown away and should not come back for the time being." "
After you bring the necessary supplies back, we will set off to the depths of the swamp to look for news about the green dragon."
George heard After Yan glanced at Wayne, he nodded. He put the collected manuscripts next to Wayne and was about to take the people away.
Bolch suddenly gave Wayne a wink, and then said:
"Let me go out too, Wayne."
"Staying here and waiting is not an option. I will try to find the green dragon first. If I get If there is any news, I will come back and inform you."
Perhaps as a member of the dragon clan, Borch has an easier way to find the green dragon. Thinking this, Wayne agreed with Borch's idea.
He turned his head, looked at the village chief Jeff, pretended to be attitude, and said very forcefully:
"We have our people to deal with the Green Dragon, but you must act according to our orders and not act rashly." "
Now, let your I'll collect all the elf books here for me. I want to take these things away." (
