Watching the tiger and the little girl leave through the thick fog, Panda and Sanyu did not chase, but pondered silently in the grass barn.

After a while, Panda said, "His mental state is really a problem."

"I don't think so." Sanyu shook his head, "I was thinking about another issue just now—the two of us came here quietly, and didn't tell the rest of the guild, even if it was to take over my temporary management of the guild's crystal harmony, it wouldn't matter. I only know that I am in a bad mood, and I went out to relax. How did Tiger know our whereabouts?"

"He didn't say it."

"Yeah, but... I guessed it vaguely." Sanyu said, "If my guess is correct, then he is much more powerful than we thought."

"...don't play dumb riddles, okay?"

Sanyu smiled and said, "We came here and passed some villages. We passed one in the morning, and now the same one is staying. In these two villages, it is very likely that someone is tipping him off, so he can know about us. whereabouts."

Panda nodded: "You are right, this is the greatest possibility."

"Then here comes the problem. He has developed to the point where civilians can report to him because of suspicious characters. Then his influence in the northern region is far beyond our expectations." Sanyu's face was solemn, " I discussed it with WuMian before and felt that he was a reckless and impetuous person, but he was very stubborn, and he really couldn’t rub a grain of sand in the eyes of a bachelor. With his character and behavior, even if he came to the North, he would at best be stubborn. It's just killing people indiscriminately - now it seems that we underestimate him."

"Everyone will grow." Panda said, "What's more, the grassroots are the most trained people. When I applied for a job after graduation, the company first arranged for us to go to the grassroots, and follow the grassroots maintenance outlets, customer service staff and others. The mall salespeople work together and experience their lives. After three months, the top performers are selected—even though they are network engineers.”

"Oh? How does that work?"

"It's pretty good. Most of the people who stayed in the end were willing to do things, be considerate of others, and get along well with colleagues. I think there are people like this in an enterprise, even if they can't achieve success, at least they can move forward steadily. No problem - I've been working for almost two years and the business has always been good."

Sanyu thought for a while and said, "Your statement is very reasonable. It's true that we take it for granted. Those in the guild who have been at the grassroots level during this period of time have also made obvious progress."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "What do you think of what the tiger said just now, about the 'inertia'?"

"It's true, but I don't support it," Panda said. "I don't like the idea of ​​'because you have a certain ability, you have to go to the corresponding position'. People are not machines, and there is no reason to do something. Those who are willing to go out to do things, and those who want to make a fortune in the arena, can go by themselves. But for those who are unwilling to go out, I think their choice should also be respected."

Sanyu was silent for a long time and said, "Actually, we have been worrying about one thing. According to the plot of the game, there will be a dragon of doomsday who wants to destroy the whole world. Can't beat it, what should I do?"

Panda was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You think too much! The Dragon of Doom is going to destroy the world, so naturally there will be big bosses from all walks of life to come and besiege him, and there will be no shortage of manpower at that time."

Sanyu still shook his head and remained silent.

The next morning, they did not rush to leave the village, but went to the strong fortress-like wooden house behind the village to visit the owner of the village, a middle-aged knight.

"We are adventurers. On the way, I heard that there is some business to do in the north." Sanyu said, "So..."

"You're mistaken," the knight interrupted. "It's true that there have been some troubles in the North, but it's already over. You're too late, and there's no business to do."

Sanyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But... I heard that the North has been recruiting pioneers..."

"I'm not recruiting anymore. In the next few years, I don't have any plans to develop any more." The knight interrupted him again, "Not only do I not recruit here, but other lords probably won't recruit either. In the past few years, we have worked hard enough. More. Now I just want to live in peace, to educate my children, to run the village well, and to pass it on to him, and I don’t want to ask about anything else.”

He obviously didn't want to say more, and immediately saw off the guests, almost half-delivering and half-rushing the land, sending Sanyu and Panda out of the door.

As soon as the two of them went out, the heavy door slammed shut, and he could hear the butler's rebuke from the door: "In the future, whether it is an adventurer or other knights... In short, just refuse! We don't make trouble, we don't make trouble!"

The two were silent for a while, and the panda said, "He's scared."

"That's right, he was most frightened by tigers." Sanyu said, "In the past year or so, a viscount and six knights have died in the north, and a pioneering team has been destroyed... these lords of the north. You, I'm afraid you've been frightened."

"Didn't they say before Wusian that most of the northern lords are fierce and savage, or arrogant and domineering, making it difficult to negotiate?"

"The Count must follow the rules when negotiating with them. Since they follow the rules, of course they are not afraid." Sanyu said thoughtfully, "But when they met the tiger who spoke with a knife, they were immediately pierced by the vicious man. A fake mask reveals a weak inner... Even if it can eat people, a paper tiger can't fight a real tiger after all."

"Do you want to go to another territory?" Panda asked.

Sanyu nodded: "It's rare to go out, let's take a walk, and then take a look."

Then they went to several villages, and what they saw and heard was not very different from this village.

The attitude of the peasants towards them was obviously a little wary and unwelcome. Needless to say, the lords all said, "We have nothing to do here, and we have nothing to inquire about, and we also don't plan to do anything in the future." People are rushing one by one faster.

Sanyu now frowns almost all day, thinking silently.

Panda is quite happy - he found that the farmers in the north are doing just fine, and many of them are wearing new clothes. Although the materials are poor, the workmanship is rough, and even a little torn, at least they are not naked. . Moreover, they have sneaked into the farmers' homes several times to investigate, and they have found that they have a lot of grain, although they are all very poor things, but at least they are not hungry.

"The living conditions of people in the north are not that bad." He said with a smile when he was resting one day.

Sanyu shook his head: "Have you not seen it yet? Their clothes are new, and the food in the rice jar is not the normal production in the Northland at all, but crops from other places."

"What do you mean?" Panda asked.

Sanyu sighed and said nothing.

They also went to the village where the tiger took the civilians to kill the lord. The villagers were farming when they went there. The panda tried to greet a few people and asked their names to see their template. The result was as the tiger said, The template of these villagers has changed from white to green, from ordinary people with no training value to talents with little potential and worthy of training.

The two planned to travel more places, but at this moment, an accident interrupted their journey.

Zhen Cannian, Yunero and others who have been active in the Federation reported that the Kingdom of Thrace had declared war on the Federation, and the army was approaching the border pass of the Federation.

"Let's go!" Sanyu said, "We have to go back. We cannot be absent from this war between Thrace and the Federation."

Panda nodded. According to the predetermined plan, they were going to organize a volunteer army to help the Federation fight against Thrace.

Whether it is from the consideration of the loss of the lips, or from the consideration of weakening the enemy and strengthening themselves, this is the best choice for traversers.
