Silent Yan touched the river with his hand. Generally, there are quite active water elements in natural water sources like this, but the water elements in this water area are so thin that they can hardly be felt. At the same time, the water also exudes a An ominous breath.
From the village chief's mouth, they learned that many of them have been seriously ill in bed because of drinking the river water here, and they have not recovered their ability to move. This is why they have no magic and do not understand Anyone with magic can detect the cause of the problem in this river.
After listening to this, the head of the branch once again understood how much people here hate seeing the Paladins. The trouble they caused because of this river is not a simple one, but they are still unwilling to do so. Asked them for help, and instead kicked most of them out when they asked.
This time, the unusual attitude of the two children and the village chief in front of him towards Silent Yan has been highlighted even more. What has he done to make these people change their views on him
Before deciding to go up the river to find the source, they had to go to meet the main force first. On the way back, the sub-group leader took a look at the mud on his shoes that was stuck by the river, and then looked at the other side. Where is the cloth used to prevent slippage, it is clearly to make it less muddy.
The branch leader couldn't help but ask Silent Yan, "How did you get on well with the people here?"
Silent Yan was a little surprised when he heard it. He looked at the village chief who was walking in front of him, and said, "The people here are just not good at expressing themselves. They are essentially very kind and meticulous people."
Branch Head "… "
Silent Yan really did not do anything special. The people in this place are quite mean to outsiders. When he came here on a mission, he was treated the same as the current knights. The people here may seem very Tough, but when it comes to having a tough attitude, maybe no one can implement this better than Silent Yan. He doesn't care what attitude these people have towards him, he just does what he wants to do. His attitude at that time was 'I Whether you want to save you or not has nothing to do with whether you want to be saved', it's tough to the point of being a bit domineering.
At first, the village chief also felt that the knights like them must have some conspiracy to come to rescue them, or there is a need to take advantage of them, so refusing to cooperate is their only attitude.
However, when he found out that this young man didn't care about their sarcastic words at all, what should he do, and rescued one after another seriously ill people with expensive potions and magic, even if they wanted to scold, they couldn't find the words to scold them. .
When he was being held down and forced to take the medicine, he also questioned what conspiracy he had. At that time, the young man looked at the weak, but he was still able to easily suppress a tall and strong man like him. , this feeling made him very insecure at that time.
As a result, at that time, Silent Yan just looked up at him, did not respond to his words, just asked him if there was any pain.
No matter how fierce the village chief was, he was speechless at that time, and when he recovered, he was completely healed, and most of the other injured people in the village accepted it. After dealing with it, they only realized that their mission had nothing to do with their village after Silent Yan left, but that the mission location was nearby and they happened to pass by along the way.
It is impossible to express gratitude honestly, it is impossible in this life, but the instructions left by the other party have been implemented perfectly. Everyone has written down the appearance of the herbs he described, and go to them regularly. Picking is kept in the village as a stockpile in case someone gets hurt and there is nothing to heal.
This is a phenomenon that was impossible to exist in the past according to the customs of their village. They have no collective view, and everyone lives their own life, so even if someone drinks the water in question and becomes seriously ill in bed, except for the blood relationship with that person Except for the person who is not alone, other people don't care much at all, and they will not go to the Holy See for rescue because of such a person.
The people of this village don't care, but the knights who have come to this place can't pretend they haven't seen anything.
Someone was dying because of the water, and they naturally had to help them.
Many knights were somewhat unhappy because they had been put on hold for too long. They also guessed that it might be because Silent Yan had kindness to the village, so they were treated differently. That's it, but when they really got in touch, they realized how difficult it was to treat a patient with a normal heart.
The people in this village are stubborn when it sounds good, and they don't know what is good or bad when they say it badly. They are obviously going to heal them, for their sake, but the beneficiaries have a bad attitude, and they stare at them with the eyes of the enemy throughout the whole process. He didn't forget to speak ill of them.
Who can bear this
Although the Light God Cult takes kindness as its purpose, it does not mean that they have no resentment at all when they encounter such a situation. However, the feelings between people are very sensitive. People can feel it.
So the conflict escalated again.
The branch leader looked at the tense atmosphere between the knights and the villagers who had been under his command for a long time. When he looked at the other side, the situation was completely opposite for Silent Yan. From the very beginning, he said 'be quiet'. After that, the villager didn't make a sound.
Originally, the head of the branch thought that Silent Yan had influenced this group of people with a gentle attitude, but in reality he found that Silent Yan's attitude toward this group of people could not be called gentle at all. The smile that usually hangs on his lips has been reduced by a few points, and the tone of his speech is more like an order than a question, but these villagers are somehow obedient.
After watching Silent Yan treat the villagers at hand, he went to the village chief to ask more questions about water sources. As the leader of the team, he naturally had to participate in such topics.
There wasn't much conversation before, he hadn't noticed it yet, but the head of the branch at this meeting realized that Silent Yan seemed to have the ability to automatically ignore the other party's rude and mean words and pick out important information from it.
"The terrain here is complicated, and it's not something that you group of outsiders can easily figure out. Just run around and break into the territory of some monster, and when something happens, our village will be affected." The village chief's tone was always harsh.
Silent Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said, "Upstream, I don't know what will be very dangerous. You stay here, you don't have to show us the way. The route has already been traveled once, and I won't forget it in a short time."
The village chief snorted, his face full of dissatisfaction, but said nothing more.
Only the sub-group leader was very confused by this dialogue.
Did that nitpicky sentence mean that you wanted to lead them on the way? !
It was not until he left the village that the sub-group leader finally regained a bit of his aura as the sub-group leader.
Originally, Silent Yan had always kept a low profile at the back of the team, but this time he became the one with the most information, and he was naturally brought to the front row by the sub-group leader when he acted collectively.
The knights who prepared for this operation with the idea of letting the other party retreat in spite of the difficulties did not make the other party feel any pressure, and their help in the task was not as good as that of a newcomer.
But they won't make each other uncomfortable on such an important mission. At the beginning, their purpose was to let him understand how big the gap between the two sides is during the mission. Now it's just that they haven't encountered an occasion that requires a fight. , When he really encounters an enemy, he should know the gap between them.
This plan in the knights' hearts was shattered when they reached the end of the river.
Because it seems that there are no enemies at all, there is only a cave enclosed by rocks, and the river water flows out from the gaps between the rocks. You don't have to think about it. If you break the rocks, there will be a lot of rocks behind them. water flow.
Silent Yan stepped forward and touched the rock that was constantly flowing with water, and he could feel that at least when the water flowed out of the rock, the water element was still quite active.
That is to say, the problem is after the water falls to the ground.
As if to confirm his guess, the grass that looked very ordinary suddenly loosened, and huge vines broke out, rolling up the nearest knight at an extremely fast speed like tentacles.
All this happened in an instant. When everyone realized what had happened, the knight had been lifted up and thrown away, and where he fell, the originally empty lawn appeared at an unknown time. It opened a huge mouth, as if it was one with the lawn, and only opened its fangs to reveal its presence when food approached.
"Oops! Sure enough, there is an ambush here!" a knight said, "Get ready for battle!"
While recognizing the identity of this beast, the sub-group leader moved.
His sword was covered with the power of light, and the strong and powerful force was threateningly slashed out as the sword swept out into a streak of light.
His attack came fast and fierce, and before the demon beast with its fangs had time to react, it took all the attacks abruptly, and let out a miserable and angry roar, and the sharp sound shook the scalp.
The head of the branch was about to give an order when he found that the boy who was by his side had disappeared.
At the same time, another equally strong magical aura came from the air. Only then did he realize that there were countless photochemical formations floating in the air. Silent Yan, holding a sword, used the magic formation as a fulcrum and quickly approached that even if it was attacked. Don't forget the monsters who opened their mouths to prepare a meal.
The magic circle is not only a fulcrum, each magic circle can bring him agility blessing, allowing him to move more sensitively and jump higher and run faster, but the limitation of this kind of magic is that the duration is short. A new one must be added before the previous one expires.
This is a skill that requires too much physical fitness for magicians, and too high requirements for magic literacy for warriors. It is not that no one can do it, but those who can do it will not be in his present. in such a position.
The extremely fast speed made Silent Yan rush back to the knight who lost his balance in mid-air before the monsters had a full meal. An adult man wearing heavy armor did not make him feel any pressure, but the monster who was robbed of food His anger troubled him a little.
Countless vines rose from the ground, and danger was imminent.
When the others saw it, they immediately wanted to step forward to support him, but before he took two steps, the boy who was still holding him with one hand had already cut down a vine, and used another vine as a fulcrum. It was similar to before but a little bit different. Different magics instantly force out of the danger zone.
When he stood up unscathed when he put the knight who was unsteady on the ground because he was shaking too violently in the air, the knights present felt the gap between them.
