Another morning, Panda and Sanyu were walking on the road, and soon, they saw a village.

This village is no different from other villages in the north.

They stopped, watched carefully for a while, and finally found the problem.

There is no "hanging man tree" at the gate of this village.

The "hanging man tree" is a very common landscape. Many villages in the Tarakhan area, especially those that are relatively run down, have such a tree. The lord hangs the executed person from a tree to warn other civilians and keep them alert and not to violate the lord's law.

But there is no door to this village.

Could it be... the lord of this village is very kind and doesn't do this?

Sanyu didn't care much, but Panda was a little curious and couldn't help walking to the village to ask.

Only when he reached the gate of the village, he stopped, frowned, and looked at a slanted tree not far away.

From that tree came a very clear corpse odor.

Pandaren are also orcs, orcs have a very keen sense of smell, and the corpse odor itself is a very strong smell, even if it is a little bit, he can smell it after ten days and a half months.

He walked to the tree, and sure enough, there were traces of rope tied on the branches of the tree.

There is no doubt that this tree is the "hanging man tree" of the village. Just don't know why, the corpse from the tree was taken away, and even the rope was untied.

After thinking about it, he walked into the village, found a farmer who was working in the vegetable field, and asked him about it.

Hearing him asking about the "Hanging Man Tree", the farmer who seemed to be quite clever suddenly showed some doubts and a blank expression, and replied: "I don't know what happened, anyway, I got up one morning and saw the tree. The hanging people are gone. You're not the first to ask... but I really don't know!"

Panda nodded, didn't ask any more, turned and left.

The farmer watched him and Sanyu walk away, dropped the wooden hoe, and hurried to a hut on the edge of the village.

After a while, a branch of a tree on the edge of the village was broken.

The broken branch is not obvious, but if you look carefully, you can see it in the distance. And if someone went to look closer, they would find that the broken part of the branch had already dried up, and it was clearly broken long ago, but it had been **** with ropes all the time.

Panda and Sanyu didn't pay attention to this. They didn't pay special attention to it. Who could find that a branch was missing from a certain tree?

That evening, Panda and Sanyu came to another village.

This village is as dilapidated as the previous one, and there are only traces on the "hanging man tree" at the entrance, but no corpses.

Of course, there is no hotel in this kind of village. They found the village chief, rented a grass barn from the village chief, and asked about the "hanging man tree" by the way.

The village chief's answer was no different from that of the previous farmer, and even the words he said were similar. Probably the two things happened together.

That night, while they were resting, they heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Panda asked casually.

"Me." It was the tiger's voice that answered him.

The two of them were startled and opened the door. Sure enough, they saw the tiger at the door, still holding the skinny little girl in his hand.

Looking at the little girl, Panda's eyes widened: "She... Isn't she dead?"

In the cafeteria of the castle before, the black dragon seed girl's breath was so powerful that everyone who passed through was injured, not to mention this ordinary little girl, who died on the spot. At that time, everyone was worried that the tiger would be furious and make a scene, but he didn't say anything and left with the little girl's body.

Panda could swear with its head that the little girl was definitely dead! But now, the little girl appeared alive in front of him.

How is this going?

Seeing his surprised expression, Tiger said calmly: "Resurrection from the dead is not as difficult as you think. Of course, using my methods to bring people back to life is nothing more than those methods. But it doesn't matter, she Being able to eat and drink, talk and walk, have feelings, thoughts, emotions, and sorrows, the only downside is that you may not be able to grow up—this may or may not be an advantage in the eyes of those lolicons... In short, I think this can be considered alive, right?"

The panda's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Return to the corpse?"

"Why do you think she's the kind of rotten thing that stinks of corpses?" Tiger looked down at the little girl who was a little disturbed, touched her head, comforted her, and said, "If you're interested, you can come over. Smell it, she definitely doesn't smell like that."

"Even if it's not rotten or smelly, it's still an undead creature." Panda frowned, "This kind of thing is not something a decent person should do."

"It's like there are no undead creatures in our guild. I'm a vampire myself, so what? As for the decency, I've already been accused of a lot of crimes, and I don't care about this one more." Tiger said blankly, " You came all the way to find me, are you here to embarrass this poor little girl? Or, are you planning to switch from the Church of the Suffering God to the Church of the Death God, and professionally purify the undead?"

Panda frowned for a while, but finally stopped bothering about this issue, took a few steps back, and let him and the little girl enter the door.

"If it's convenient, can you tell me, how did you know we came to you?" Sanyu asked, "We didn't tell anyone about this. Even if someone guessed it, they shouldn't be able to know our whereabouts."

Tiger shook his head: "Everyone has their own secrets, I'm sorry, I can't answer this question."

"Then tell me something you can answer. Did you take down the corpses on the hanging tree at the entrance of the village?"

"Yes, the deceased is dead. No matter whether he was guilty or innocent, since he is dead, it is the end. Even if the punishment is to continue, he should start with his soul instead of looking for the body."

Panda looked at the little girl who was still holding his hand, and felt that this was really unconvincing.

Sanyu didn't care about this, and asked again, "Why did you go to the castle to make a fuss before?"

"Of course it's to criticize Wu Mian for taking the opportunity of 'administration' to seize the power that should belong to everyone."

Sanyu sighed and said sincerely: "There are only the three of us here, neither panda nor I have long tongues, no matter what you say, we will rot in our hearts and will never say it out - you can't say it. For real?"

"I promise, no matter what you said today, I won't tell anyone." Panda also said.

Tiger watched them for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "What do you think is our biggest problem now?"

"Thrace who will be calling in a few years?" Panda asked.

Tiger shook his head.

"Contradiction between the traversers?" Sanyu asked.

Tiger also shook his head.

"What exactly is that?"

"It's inertia." Tiger replied, "Inertia is breeding and spreading among most of the traversers."

"Inertness?" Sanyu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Do you think our group of people is capable?"

Panda nodded: "Of course, our race is strong, our profession is strong, we can quickly improve our level and skills through experience points, and we can be resurrected when we die... We are not capable, and there are probably few people in the world who are capable."

"However, a group of capable people gathered together for more than a year, and most of them have gradually become squatting at home. Don't you think this is very strange?" Tiger said, "In my opinion, the crux of the problem is The thing is, we are very capable. As long as everyone in the guild does a little bit, it is enough to maintain a stable life for everyone - especially we still have a castle, which is still absorbing magic power and slowly recovering, and the living conditions are getting better and better. So , the characters who could have made their way through the world relying on their own skills, one by one, huddled in the castle and became a rice bug... Don't you think this is very sad?"

"What's so sad to be able to be a rice bug?" Sanyu asked back, "Before time travel, more than half of us were otaku men and housewomen. Except for work, the rest of the time is no different from that of rice bugs. Now My life is nothing more than without the internet, what's so sad?"

The tiger smiled and said nothing, just holding the little girl's hand and walking towards the door.

After he walked out of the door of the grass barn, he suddenly said, "Tell you two things."

"Which two things?"

"The first thing, I found out the whereabouts of the barbarian robbers who attacked several pioneering villages and slaughtered a large number of civilians. They are not barbarians nearby, but migrated from other places. According to their own words, they were affected by Inspired by the forest, they came to help my compatriots to take revenge. They were very elegant and left after taking revenge, and they didn’t want any benefits.” The tiger smiled and said, “Because I am relatively stupid, justice is a little late, but finally What I said at the beginning has come to an end. Interestingly, I found some magic items with demonic power in the house of their leader. On those magic items, there are marks of double snakes wrapped around a serrated sword. There are quite a few, It looks quite old, probably used for many years."

Panda and Sanyu both frowned and understood what he meant. Sanyu immediately asked: "Are they the same group of people who destroyed the old Loka family?"

Tiger didn't answer, and continued: "The second thing, when I rushed into the Viscount's house with me, and dragged him and a few knights out to judge the peasants who were finally executed, their templates have turned from white to green."

Panda and Sanyu were even more surprised and wanted to ask questions, but they saw a thick fog, and the two of them were no longer at the door of the grass warehouse.

Moments later, in a cemetery near another village, thick fog rose, and the tiger appeared, holding the little girl's hand.

He closed his eyes and opened the chat channel.

[Tiger: Your method is really useful, thank you. I will seriously consider your suggestion. 】
