In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The situation on the mainland has become more and more turbulent, but everything in Modo City is still calm. During the period, Princess Anna of the Ice and Snow Country sent several letters to Sauron, and mentioned a few things with a little greeting. The eldest princess seems to be in retreat recently, and with the arrival of the cold winter, the ice and snow country has to deal with the coming cold weather. Winter is a difficult time for this era of material poverty, but the better thing is that because of the cold winter, many wars have been forced to stop, and the spreading plague is almost eradicated.

Cold weather can make the blight disappear sooner.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, the first frost has come, and Modo City is a little bit better, because it is located in the subtropical region with only some permafrost, and many other places have already begun to freeze. The permafrost has slowed down construction a lot, but people are still busy working because if they can't finish the housing in time, they will have northwesterly winds this winter.

Five kilometers away from Modo City is a town under construction. The construction site is in full swing, with thousands of people busy.

Lay foundations, build houses, build fences.

First, do the basics of settling down, and then start to reclaim the nearby land.

Half-elves have industrious and dexterous hands, and as long as they are given a chance to work, they know how to support themselves.

at this time.

Ryan, who was almost recuperating from his injuries, was patrolling the construction site. As the leader of the half-elf civilians who brought them back, he naturally became their manager, and he would take over as the mayor of the first town. The people involved in the labor are divided into two factions, one is the half-elves of the fallen leaves city, and the other is the merchants from the south coast area. Some farms have also been established outside the town, and the merchants have paid more attention to the interests, so some lands have begun to be harvested with the first batch of winter wheat.

"Coldy"

Lane turned around on the construction site, frowned suddenly and said, "Where did Alec and Dandy go?"

"Did the two of them run out and be lazy again?"

Not all half-elves are very hard-working, and some of them like adventure and don't like boring work. Lane's words are the two idle guys.

soon. Then a young half-elf ran over and whispered: "They said last night that they were going to catch fish and eat, and they ran out when the sky was bright, and no one has been seen yet."

Catch fish?

Ryan frowned when he heard this. There are abundant aquatic products near Modo City, but these half-elves who have just moved in have no fishing tools, so they should not go to the sea to catch fish, so the biggest possibility is only the nearby rivers. Because of its proximity to the Amazon rainforest, there are many fish in the freshwater river near Modo City. Among them, the most tender and delicious is a piranha. The name is Tiger Tooth Fish and Tiger Mouth Fish. If the number of these fish is large, they can eat a person with only one bone left. They have extremely sharp teeth and like to bite people's lower body very much, so it will be very dangerous to go into the water naked. Accidentally can only use half of it from now on.

Ryan has naturally eaten this kind of fish, because there are too many piranhas and the taste is also very good, and they are often caught for extra meals.

"These two slackers will have to whip some whips when I catch them"

This is not the first time.

Not long after they came here, these two guys were lazy once. Recklessly ran to the river to catch fish, almost let the fish bite off the lifeblood. But also because this time, both guys fell in love with grilled piranhas. They usually go after work, but today they didn't even come to work, which really made Ryan a little angry.

Asking the people next to him to help watch, Ryan directly picked up the weapon and the whip and was about to walk to the river.

No matter how far away there are dangerous piranhas, those two boys should not run there if they are not idiots, so they can only catch fish in the nearby river.

Ryan naturally knows how to track.

Judge the footprints on the ground, the plants that have been trampled and trampled. He quickly found the route the two boys had taken.

but

There was a shrill scream in the distance, and the surrounding birds and beasts were stunned.

"problem occurs"

Ryan felt something was wrong for a moment, and instantly put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and then the whole person sprinted at a high speed. He rushed in the direction of screaming.

The surrounding scenery quickly regressed.

As a high-level professional, Ryan ran at an extremely fast speed, but in a few minutes he passed through the dense jungle and approached the place where the sound came from.

"Dandy?"

Ryan saw a half-elf boy covered in blood. At this moment, he didn't care to scold him, and said anxiously, "What's going on? What happened? Is there another person?"

The half-elf boy named Dandy was covered in blood. When he saw Ryan, it was like seeing a savior. He grabbed him and muttered, "Alec is dead... eaten..."

damn

Ryan was so angry that he wanted to slap the guy in front of him. They have long been warned that the river near them is dangerous, and they should not go to catch piranhas if they are okay. Well now, I finally learned the lesson, but a young life was ended because of this. Ryan thought that the other half-elf boy was eaten by a swarm of piranhas, but what Dandy said next made him tense.

"demon"

The half-elf boy named Dandy said incoherently: "Eat it...the devil...eat it...the devil ate Alec..."

demon?

This time Ryan's face finally changed.

He wasn't sure if the half-elf boy in front of him was scared and stupid, and then he called piranhas a demon, or if he really encountered a demon, or if he called something else a demon. There are a lot of dangerous things around here, and there are piranhas that can eat people, etc. The devil may refer to a real devil, or it may refer to other things. However, this is Modo City, and in theory, there should be no demons. But now no matter what the reason is, as the top commander of this town, he must find out the situation.

"Come with me"

Ryan raised the boy in front of him and rushed forward.

Dandy still seemed to be scared, but he knew about Ryan's strength, so he timidly followed the direction.

The distance is not too far.

soon

The vision in front of him widened, and Ryan, who saw the scene in front of him, could not help but gasp, his expression became unexpectedly solemn.

demon

really the devil
