Rhodes stood on the small square in the village, watching everything quietly in front of ———. After Marlene put out the flames, there was even a rare trace of tranquility here, as if the violent offensive of barbarian was just a dream. It seems similar, but it is a pity that reality is reality after all, not a dream.

The Leiya and the other three Healer immediately started the rescue work after entering the village. Fortunately, most people were only slightly injured by fire, and the treatment is not difficult. There are also some militia fighting barbarian He was seriously injured, but after receiving Healer treatment, he finally recovered. As for the rest, it is not in the scope of the work of Leiya and others. ——— they do not have the skills to get back to life.

"Thank you for your help."

A voice came from behind Rhodes'. He turned his head and saw a militia man in shabby armor standing in a state of embarrassment, thanking himself with a smile. This man had seen it before Rhodes. The tower was burned down and the bad luck egg was almost dried up. At this moment, he looks rather embarrassed, but he is standing upright, standing in front of himself, looking at his eyes with a trace of curiosity and respect for —.

"If you do n’t have any of you, I ’m afraid our Deep Creek Village will be completely finished now. Those cunning barbarian, I really did n’t expect them to attack when the village chief took people out to hunt. I am Deep Creek Village militia squad Team Leader Wayne ... … may I ask you are ... …… ””

"We are a member of Starlight Guild."

Rhodes solemnly replied, then facing the other party nodded.

"We originally planned to go to Land of Redemption through Deep Creek Village, but we didn't expect to meet the group of barbarian here. How is your situation?"

"Thanks to everyone, it ’s okay."

After hearing Rhodes''s inquiry, a little helplessness appeared on Wayne's face.

"More than a dozen people in the militia squad have survived, although not many, but it is not easy to be able to persevere in the face of barbarian until now ........." said here, Wayne shook his head, obviously, he also realized It's really awkward to say such frustrating things now. So Wayne strongly cheered up and showed a little smile to Rhodes.

"Forget it, don't say this, anyway, everyone is a big benefactor who saved our village, please be sure to stay here for one night and accept our hospitality."

"Okay."

I heard the other party's invitation, Rhodes silent for a moment, and then nodded. Although he is not concerned about the hospitality and invitation of these people, Rhodes also expects to be able to get some information through here. Although he is very familiar with the environment of Land of Redemption, but time is passing and changing after all, he can learn more about the information, then They are more sure.

I have to say that these people who live in Civilization Border are indeed very strong. Although their homes were burned, and although some of them lost their relatives and friends, after extinguishing the flames and burying the bodies, these villagers quickly returned to normal, at least on the surface, they were able to gather enthusiasm Smile, to entertain and greet these guests from other places.

And during the conversation, Rhodes also learned that Deep Creek Village's original combat power was not weak. The general barbarian simply did not dare to come to their troubles, but this time it was an exception. Those barbarian who were not good with each other I don't know why they were united together, and they also attacked while the village chief took the villagers out to hunt. This made Deep Creek Village unprepared.

During the dinner, Rhodes also took the opportunity to ask Wayne about the nearby barbarian, which is similar to the information he knew. Outside of Civilization Border, there are about a dozen or so large barbarian communities. Of course, No one knows their specific distribution location, but for Rhodes, as long as you can get the approximate location of the other party, then you can see the clues with your own information.

It ’s just that in this conversation, one thing Wayne said also aroused Rhodes' ’s attention. ——— According to his statement, there are three barbarian communities in this attack Deep Creek Village, they are located not far away, This time, the three barbarian communities have probably dispatched about half of the manpower. This is very rare, because in this place, whether it is food, resources or women are very limited, so the barbarian community generally has not many people, just to avoid uneven distribution of stolen goods. These three communities are dead enemies with each other, and because of this, Wayne did not expect them to attack together. This is one of the reasons why Deep Creek Village was caught flat-footed by the raid this time.

Such a change is naturally not a good thing for Rhodes, so he took this matter to heart. Because in the memory of Rhodes', he had never heard of the joint work between barbarian communities, but now, such an abnormal thing has happened, then there must be a problem behind it ......... think about it from another angle, you can make three It is a very difficult thing in itself for the community to let go of hatred and paranoia for the distribution of benefits. Not to mention that Deep Creek Village is a relatively barren village, and there is nothing to dig out here that can make one night rich and wealthy for a lifetime, and those barbarian do n’t even see rabbits and eagles hate character, even if they want to fool them. It's very difficult. But now, these barbarian are willing to unite, why are they? Who brought them together?

For Rhodes, this will be one of the most important intelligences he needs to investigate after entering Land of Redemption.

"Hah ..............."

The cool moonlight shone down from the sky. Marlene sat on the stone chair in the village square and watched the campfire not far away with complicated eyes. There, those mercenary are talking and laughing with the local villagers, and they look very happy. Those villagers also claimed to praise these mercenary's valor, and at the same time offer them delicious food and wine. But in Marlene's view, it is a little weird.

"What's wrong? Marlene, sitting here alone?"

Leiya approached Marlene, asked in a low voice, and then sat on her side. As the best friend of Marlene, Leiya certainly noticed the abnormality of Marlene.

"Are n’t you used to it?"

"Frankly speaking, I am really not used to it."

After hearing Leiya's's inquiry, Marlene shook her head, and then she raised eyes again, looking forward.

"How can I not understand that these people clearly understand that genius has lost their relatives and friends, why are they so happy now? could it be shouldn't they be sad and mourn for the death of their companions and friends? Those people's graves are not Far away, but looking at what they are now, I always feel a little ... "

"...... heartless and lungless?"

Leiya took over the words that Marlene did not finish, and the latter was a slight nod, which means default. After seeing Marlene's response, Leiya lightly chuckled, then, she leaned on Marlene's side.

"Frankly speaking, I used to think so ......... A long time ago, when I just joined Mercenary Group, a companion died in an adventure. I was very sad at the time, but my Captain, and Others are not as sad as I am, although they also have anger and regret, but they have less than a long time/half of the day time, they seem to have never happened, continue their lives. At that time, I was completely unable to Understand, I even thought they were a group of cold-blooded people, and even felt that they did not value their companions at all. But ......... I understood later ............... "

Speaking of this, Leiya raised his head and looked to the sky.

"This is what we mercenary does. Someone will die in the adventure. We must be mentally prepared to accept all this, but even if our companions fall, we still have to move on. ——— At that time, my Captain used to be So I told you that if I am worried about the death of my companion, and I ca n’t fight and eventually lead to death, then it is definitely not what he expected to see. The deceased is already gone, the only thing we can do is to continue to live, and it is Live happily, because if their lost lives only make us feel sad, then they will also be very sad. "

Say here, Leiya paused for a moment.

"I think this is also the case for people here, Marlene. They live in Civilization Border and always mention threats like today. In addition to barbarian, there are wild beast, and even some terrible things. They may lose at any time. Relatives and friends of their own ... but even so, they have to continue to live, do n’t they? If they bear pain and sorrow all the time, would their relatives be happy? They themselves? could it be The sacrifice of their relatives and friends Is life just for them pain and sorrow? "

After hearing the Leiya's inquiry, Marlene lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she sighed.

"Perhaps you are right, Leiya ............ You are really mature ..."

"I do n’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Frankly speaking, when I lost Captain, I was also very lost. If there is no Mr. Rhodes, it is difficult to say whether I can recover. But now, I think I have You can accept this fact ... ""

Leiya showed a complex smile, then she reached out and took Marlene's hand.

"But ... Marlene, do you have any trouble? I think you seem to be a little abnormal recently ... Is there something going on with Mr. Rhodes?"

"This ..."

On hearing this topic, complexion slightly red of Marlene, she looked at Leiya, but she did n’t know what to say.

At this time, suddenly, a whistling sound of sharp sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night sky.
