Chapter 021

"Keep quiet!"

Among the reeds.

A bearded Ranger pressed his index finger on his lips and tried to stop him:

"Forget what I told you, Jon?"

"In the swamp, be sure to keep quiet!"

The girl behind him couldn't help sticking out her tongue, which restrained the excitement just now.

She bent down, lowered her weight, and inquired about the situation in the Jackal settlement with her beard.

"It's strange that I didn't see anyone... Ah!"

Jon was squatting on the ground talking to himself, and suddenly burst into a sudden scream!

"Jon!"

Beard angrily turned back and scolded his sister:

"I told you not to..."

Like Jon, he was startled by the situation behind him and gave an instinctive exclamation.

"Eric, I'm not to blame."

Jon weichubaba said.

A few meters behind them.

A masked man with a thin sword was just looking at his brother and sister in his spare time.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Roger lowered his voice in a calm tone.

"Don't misunderstand!"

"We're just passing by."

With a beard, Eric seemed to have some experience. He raised his hands and looked sincere:

"I... can I stand up?"

Roger said:

"Feel free."

"Thank you... We really just passed by and felt a little strange when we saw the body of the Jackal monster. So we came to have a look. We absolutely didn't mean anything else!"

Eric was afraid that Roger would misunderstand their motives.

"Oh, really? My companion just went to hunt down those jackals, and you showed up. What a coincidence?"

Roger's tone gradually became severe:

"Or did you follow us early and want to fish in troubled waters?"

He was trying to find out when the two came.

At the same time, I try to point out that I am not alone.

indeed.

Eric immediately explained nervously:

"Sir, I swear we didn't see you and your companions before, let alone follow you."

"We are really just passing by!"

Roger pretended not to believe it and continued to sneer:

"Will ordinary people pass such a dangerous swamp?"

At this time, the girl named Jon couldn't help interrupting:

"Eric didn't lie to you. We left the village this morning, and we really passed by..."

Hearing this, Eric got angry and winked at her again and again.

However, Jon didn't pay attention to the meaning in his eyes, but clumsily explained to Roger.

In her opinion, brother and sister are just one link adventurers.

In front of him, the strange man with unknown origin is different - he and his partners can destroy the entire jackal settlement, and their strength is absolutely far better than them.

Explaining and gaining his trust is their only way to survive.

"Sure enough, there are villages."

"But from the performance of these two people, it should be just a small village."

Roger's heart perked up.

He nodded slightly and said to Jon, who was obviously a novice:

"I believe you. Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to fight against each other."

With that, he put down his green sword.

Both brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Roger's next words made their nerves tense again:

"My companions and I came from the West and have been hunting in the swamp for a long time. We lack supplies."

"We urgently need a place to replenish fresh water and dry food."

"So, can you tell me the location of your village?"

Jon's face became very embarrassed.

She suddenly understood the meaning of Eric's look just now.

At that moment, countless bloody pictures flashed in her mind.

"Unfortunately, will I bring death to the village?!"

"No, I must not let him know the real location of the village."

Jon thought so.

But Eric took the lead in saying:

"It's just a few dozen kilometers to the southwest.

There is a tall banyan tree near the village, which can be seen even far away.

In addition, the land over there is different here. It is very distinctive bright yellow, which is easy to identify. "

His expression remained sincere:

"Our village is very hospitable. You can exchange what you hunt in the swamp for fresh water and food."

Roger looked at him quietly for 30 seconds before nodding and saying:

"Thank you."

"You can go."

The brother and sister were pardoned.

Nevertheless, they faced Roger head-on and slowly retreated to the edge of the reeds.

They didn't dare to leave quickly until they couldn't see Roger's face clearly.

All the way.

"Why is it so detailed?" Jon couldn't help asking.

"Since it has been exposed that the village is nearby, there is no need to hide the specific location."

Eric shook his head and said:

"And in that case, we can only survive first, and then seek the help of the village."

"We hurry back and tell Lord Cindy about it. These people can destroy the Jackal settlement. I'm afraid they're not an ordinary adventurer team!"

On the other hand, Roger, who saw off his brother and sister, accelerated the search for the Jackal settlement.

He couldn't find fresh water.

For food, there are only baskets of wild lettuce.

Roger picked some fresh ones and stuffed them in his backpack.

To be honest, the settlement of the Jackal monster is surprisingly poor.

If not for a gold watch and a large box of broken gold and silver found in the chief's room, Roger suspected that he would have found nothing.

"I didn't expect that I almost didn't earn back the cost of maintaining the arrow."

Roger shouted his bad luck in his heart.

He couldn't help taking a few more lettuce before he was willing to leave.

After leaving the Jackal settlement, Roger started on his way to the southwest according to Eric.

Soon, yellow soil appeared in front of him.

With the rapid retrogression of the reeds, the visible range also became wider.

Half an hour later, Roger came to a road.

There is also a decaying road sign on the side of the road, which reads:

"Lettuce Avenue".

He followed lettuce Avenue all the way south.

gradually.

There are some human houses on both sides of the road, but they are all abandoned.

Another half an hour passed.

Roger met a white haired old man fishing in a roadside lake.

He pondered a little and went forward to ask the way.

The old man's attitude was a little cold, but he carefully answered Roger's question.

Roger learned a lot from him:

This piece of land is located in the center of the great wetland and is called "Yellowstone island".

If you want to get supplies, there are two hotels all the way south along lettuce Avenue.

The first hotel is called "Green Dragon Princess".

The old man told Roger that this shop is a black shop, which is very dangerous. Don't get close!

The second hotel is called "thorn".

This is a safe hotel. The owner is an elderly Hill dwarf, very friendly.

He suggested that Roger bypass the "Green Dragon Princess" and go directly to the "thorns" hotel.

After hearing this, Roger thought a little, thanked the old man and continued on his way.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he saw the sign of the Green Dragon Princess.

Roger didn't stop. He stepped up and walked over.

After a while.

He saw the sign of thorns.

But he still didn't slow down, but walked around.

At noon.

Roger looked out into the distance and saw a green canopy.

His pace finally slowed down.
