Chapter 682 Village
"This child... is a descendant of which school of magicians?"
Hearing the other party's answer, this is what Ronald immediately thought of.
Just hear him ask.
But the little girl shook her head simply:
"No, neither Hull nor mother are magicians."
"We have lived in this forest for generations, it is just a very ordinary settlement." "
..."
Ronald The first reaction is disbelief.
It is extremely difficult to survive in this primitive jungle. Even some survival experts will find it difficult to persist for too long. What's more, Hel doesn't look like the kind of child from a primitive tribe.
The only possible explanation.
It is these people who live in the Yuez Forest and maintain a good relationship with the magicians of a certain school. Under the influence of the mysterious side, it is possible for them to settle in the Yuez Forest.
Simply analyze this result.
Ronald and the four of them formed a temporary team and began to move deeper into the forest.
The composition of the team is simple and straightforward.
Regardless of Ronald or Costart, their abilities alone are top-notch strong enough to dominate the mysterious side.
On the other hand, Layton and Hull.
The middle-aged spellcaster is just an ordinary member of the Arcane Mystery School.
With mediocre qualifications, even at this age, he finally completed his studies under one-on-one instruction, and then started a tour in the forest. The little girl is even more vulnerable - she doesn't even have the basic ability to cast spells. She only has a preliminary understanding of the mysterious side because she has been following Layton these past few days.
Under this huge power gap.
The control of the team rests entirely with Ronald and Costart.
After being vaguely aware of this, Hull whispered to Layton as he moved forward:
"Leighton, are they two particularly powerful?"
A complicated smile appeared on Layton's face:
"This... it's no longer a matter of whether they are good or not."
"Hull, you have to know - regardless of Mr. Ronald and Ms. Costart, given their abilities, even if they want to establish a school outside, Or controlling a country secretly is not a problem at all."
"We are really lucky to meet them here and get help."
The little girl nodded slightly thoughtfully:
"Hell understands. Yes, we are lucky."
"..."
The actual situation is the same as what Layton said.
Among the team, Ronald and Costat walked in front, like two engineering machines quickly opening the road.
said with no exaggeration.
Comparing the efficiency of Layton and the little girl before, it is absolutely not excessive to say that it has doubled several times.
But it corresponds to the situation of Layton and Hull.
It's the complete opposite state on Ronald's part.
Due to Layton's poor physical condition and the little girl's inability to cast spells, Ronald and Costat had to be distracted from taking care of them when dealing with various problems that frequently appeared in the forest.
This is undoubtedly a drag on progress.
This situation lasted for more than ten hours.
When the time came to noon the next day.
As they continued to move forward in the forest, Hull, who was following Layton, suddenly exclaimed:
"Here, I know this place!"
"Hull and mother's home is right in front!"
Such good words came from the little girl's mouth. After hearing the news, the four of them naturally accelerated their progress.
But among the team, Ronald was the only one whose mood was a little subtle.
He has unleashed the power of 'fury'.
At this moment, he did not detect any degree of human activity within the surrounding several kilometers of reconnaissance range.
If Hull's home is nearby, where is his family?
And how did the little guy run so far away from his home at such an age?
Questions that Ronald didn't care much about before came to mind one after another.
He had a vague premonition in his heart.
But at the same time, Renault in the team was completely excited by the news.
The middle-aged magician picked up the little girl next to him.
He even used the few magic powers in his body to reactivate the spell, just to take Hel back home early.
"..."
Looking at the other party's back, Ronald felt a little unbearable.
So he gave Costa a wink, and the two of them followed behind in silence.
It turns out that Hull's memory of the terrain is fine.
After only a few hundred meters, they quickly found the place where she lived before in the Yuez Forest.
Immediately, an indescribable scene appeared before his eyes.
The home Hull talked about has now become a very miserable cemetery.
In some villages where houses are made of vines and trees, a group of people living in seclusion in the forest of Yoiz can be seen looming.
--However.
- They are all corpses.
Bodies of all sizes can be seen everywhere in the village, and you can always see signs of being bitten or devoured by predators. Everyone in this village was killed by hunters.
But that's not the most surprising thing.
Among these corpses, Ronald could see very obvious species differences.
Most of the bodies that lost their lives here have older skins that can provide covert green in the canopy, and their limbs also retain some inhuman structures, such as feathers and unique skull structures; while the older ones are older,
middle The skin of young people begins to have a tan color that does not exist in humans, and attacks on the genitals such as claws are particularly obvious;
until the younger generation.
Only then did they have the same skin color as normal humans, and the obvious organs of beasts began to gradually degenerate.
So, a very simple derivation lies in front of us.
If this evolutionary trend is followed, then these creatures will probably become exactly like humans by the generation just born in Hull.
"..."
At this moment, Layton was completely stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
As a spell caster, he certainly understood the scene in front of him and knew the true identity of the little girl next to him.
Beside him, the dazed Hel looked at the village that had been slaughtered. She knelt on the ground with a dull expression and could not make any movement.
at this age.
She obviously couldn't handle this miserable reality.
As for the further back... Ronald's expression was equally complicated. He immediately reached out to cover his face and asked the maid stiffly: "
Costat, it must have been several months since you last tried to recover the original book. Are you ready?"
The maid replied calmly:
"Sir, you are right."
"..."
The meaning of the scene in front of her was obvious.
Hel and her tribe were actually a brand new species that suddenly evolved due to the interference of the original code.
The complexity of this matter.
Much more than Ronald first thought!
