False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

Since Xie Yi and the others wanted to stay overnight in the tavern, the tavern, which was usually open until late, closed early today.

After the wizard disappeared from the counter, the villagers quickly left in twos and threes. Before leaving, they bought a few more beers and prepared to continue drinking in another place.

"I didn't expect the wizard to come to the village to have such benefits."

Jim, holding a wooden wine glass, said, "I was scared to death when he asked me just now, but I didn't expect that I can still drink here now."

"Come on, you're out of shit luck." The village head, Youjia, patted Jim on the shoulder, "I remember your little Leiluo is not yet seven years old, right? Watch her and don't let her out, I heard Wizards like to carry out terrible experiments on children, and I will inform the people in the village later, so that they can keep an eye on the children and don't let them out."

"By the way, there is one more thing." He said to the other villagers walking together: "You all go back and look through your food, collect more, and send it to the wizard."

After Yujia finished speaking, the villagers who were still discussing wizards and monsters in high spirits fell silent.

"...But last month we sent all the food we could save to the baron."

They said in a hurry: "There is really not much more. We only eat one meal a day now. If we eat any more, we will starve to death."

"Hey, what can we do?" Yujia sighed, "It's hard for everyone, but it's a wizard, can we not give it?"

Jim whispered: "But the wizard didn't want to..."

"Can we not give it if he doesn't want it?" The village head Yujia often dealt with the tax collectors sent by the baron, and he knew some ways to protect himself. He said sternly: "We gave him when he didn't ask, and we It’s possible that you don’t have to give so much, but if he asks for it…” Yujia looked at the villagers, “If the wizard asks for a few children, would you dare not give them?”

Everyone has nothing to say, of course they dare not refuse to give it, but it is their own child, how can they be willing to give it?

"So." Yujia looked very tired: "We give it when he doesn't ask, maybe we don't have to lose our child, do you understand?"

"I still have a jar of honey at home. I originally planned to keep it for my daughter to marry next year. I should also send it to the wizard at that time."

Youjia has lost all her money.

"Okay, I'll take out all the bacon..."

"I have a little wheat and five eggs left in my house."

"I have a piece of cheese at home."

The villagers said one after another.

"Actually, I won't starve to death." Jim said: "Rats are everywhere, and their meat is also meat. My little Leiluo has eaten rat meat since she was a child. You see, she is almost seven years old now. To tell you the truth, Rat meat tastes like rabbit meat."

"Okay, you." The villagers laughed when they heard this, and slapped Jim on the shoulder: "No wonder none of the three children in your family died of starvation. You are still smart!"

"I'll catch some too... Is it really not poisonous?"

Jim proudly said, "Can I still lie to you? I'll roast a mouse and show you later!"

He smacked his lips and recalled: "Spicy meat..."

·

Xie Yi is receiving the careful hospitality of the tavern owner and his wife.

He pretended not to see the action of the tavern owner's wife quietly hiding the two children in the storage room, and under their expectation, he took a sip of wine from the wine glass.

Xie Yi: "...?"

Is this thing really wine?

It didn't taste like wine, but rather an odd drink.

The tavernkeeper's wife brought out a small pot of rabbit stew, said a few flattering words, and walked away.

Xie Yi saw with sharp eyes that there was still a clay pot on the stove, and there was something earthy-yellow like mud in the pot, which was probably the dinner for the tavern owner's family.

They gave up the table to Xie Yi and Jacob's group, and sat on the firewood to eat by themselves.

The dinner that looks disgusting and probably tastes like mud is very well accepted.

Xie Yi looked at them, and then at the rabbit stew in front of him, did he feel that there was something wrong with Jacob and Little Jon who were waiting for him to eat first, and somehow felt a little blocked in his heart.

He thought of the world he used to live in, and suddenly felt that it was so ugly that he couldn't accept it.

No, he can't show anything wrong.

He should also be open to it, like Jacob, because it's "normal".

Everyone thinks this is "normal", including the tavern couple.

Xie Yi took a spoonful of rabbit broth from the bowl.

To be honest, it was hard to eat.

But he swallowed it anyway.

Then Jacob scooped up the second bowl. Little Jon didn't dare to scoop the soup with his hands. He picked up the meaty bones that Jacob threw on the table and gnawed.

Xie Yi suddenly felt a little nauseous.

He lowered his eyelashes, took out a gold coin and threw it on the ground in front of the couple in the tavern, with a hoarse voice: "It's for you."

The couple in the tavern were very pleasantly surprised. One gold coin is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for half a year.They were very grateful, and kept saying good things about Xie Yi, praising him, saying that he is a good wizard, a great wizard.

... But I threw it over, I threw it on the ground, and I said "reward".

Xie Yi turned her head in embarrassment amidst the compliments from the couple in the tavern, and covered her expression with her long hair that fell to the side of her face.

Xie Yi, who has been staying in the palace, has seen a small face in this world, but he already feels that he can't stand it anymore.

After dinner, Shay slept in the tavern couple's bedroom, Jacob lived in the tavern couple's child's room, and little Jon happily prepared to settle down at the door of Shea's room, carrying a bundle of straw.

Xie Yi couldn't fall asleep, so he called the tavern owner and asked a few more questions about the monster.

He said that he wanted to get rid of the monsters not just because of a moment of anger, Xie Yi spoke only after he was sure that he could get rid of the monsters.

On the way to this village, he found some traces, paw prints on the road and a faint smell, and according to the words of the villagers in the tavern—after all, he was standing at the door of the tavern and hadn’t opened the door to enter. At that time, the villagers inside were still very active—it was almost certain that there was a petrified chicken in this village.

The petrified chicken was an easy monster to deal with, at least for the wizard, which is why he dared to talk about dealing with this "offensive to his majesty" monster.

Later, after detailed inquiries, it was determined that the petrified chicken had reached more than [-]% certainty.

"...I heard that it looks like a chicken and a lizard." The tavern owner said, "It loves to eat children, but adults just kill them and don't eat them."

Their village has been suffering for a long time, and the village head Yujia had the courage to report the incident to the tax collector sent by the baron, hoping that they would send someone to get rid of this monster, but the tax collector only said: "So what?" Like? Monsters don’t eat wheat, so the tax must be reduced.”

After speaking, the tax collector laughed, thinking he was very humorous.

The village chief Youjia also had to laugh along with him.

After that, they gave up. Unexpectedly, a wizard came today and said that he wanted to get rid of this monster.

Don't even dare to dream like this!

After the tavern owner left, Xie Yi stood by the window looking at the moon.

The moon here is no different from the moon on Earth.

The couple's bed in the tavern was also covered with straw, but there was an extra layer of cloth covering the straw. Xie Yi felt very uncomfortable lying on it, as if being pricked by many small thorns, which made her uncomfortable.

He got up again and went to the window.

Suddenly, a cat jumped out from nowhere, with a snake in its mouth, stood on the window sill and stared at Xie Yi.

The cat almost blends into the night, discernible only by its golden eyes.It looked at Xie Yi, and made a low "hissing" sound from its throat, indicating that it was very hostile to Xie Yi.

It may be because of the difficult life, it is very thin, its fur is brownish-yellow, with many beautiful black spots, its body is wild, its body is also a circle larger than the normal domestic cats that Xie Yi has seen, its teeth are clenched tightly The unlucky snake arched its back towards Xie Yi threateningly.

Xie Yi longed to raise a cat when he was on Earth before, but his job was too 996 to take good care of the kitten, so he never raised one.

But sometimes he fantasizes that he is walking on the road and is suddenly touched by a kitten, so he has a reason to keep it.

It's a pity that no kitten has ever touched him.

Seeing this cat now, although it is a relatively mighty real big wild cat, which is a bit different from the soft and cute kitten he yearned for, he still likes it very much.

He took two steps back to make room for the big cat to eat.

The big cat looked ferocious while eating, and raised its head to look at Xie Yi from time to time. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xie Yi felt that the cat seemed a little hostile to him?

It may be the inherent hostility of feral cats to humans.

But the fluffy hair is the first, and Xie Yi really wants to touch it.

After the big cat swallowed the whole snake, Xie Yi meowed like a cat, and approached cautiously, intending to rua it.

When he learned how to meow, the cat seemed to be very shocked. The whole cat froze for a moment, and Xie Yi took the opportunity to pluck its fur several times.

I don't know what kind of cat it is, but it looks a bit like a little leopard. The fur on its body is very smooth and comfortable to the touch.

However, there is a price to be paid for forcefully touching a wild cat. The big cat probably couldn't stand being manipulated like this, so it gave Xie Yi a paw and ran away.

Xie Yi had to disinfect his wound.

Xie Yi didn't sleep well at night either, the straw bed was too sticky.

After waking up the next day, Xie Yi planned to find the petrified chicken, to solve the problem early and finish the matter early.

"I'll go by myself," he told Jacob, "you stay in the village, and if that monster dares to come in while I'm not around, you catch it and don't let it run amok."

The wizard seemed to be very concerned about this matter, with an intolerable and very angry look: "If it is allowed to act presumptuously in front of me, where will my majesty be?"

Jacob wanted to tell his master that the monster has no intelligence, and it doesn't want to offend you.

Your majesty is still very stable.

But he was quite used to his master's strange insistence, knowing that Xie Yi cared most about his majesty, so he didn't raise any objections, and agreed honestly.

Xie Yi turned and left, walking towards the hunter who was leading the way.

He kept Jacob as a guarantee in case the monsters came into the village and made trouble.

Xie Yi raised his chin, expressing "arrogance" to the fullest, without arousing Jacob's suspicion.

Seeing the sorcerer like this, the hunter who was following him felt his heart tremble, and decided to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to offend the "majesty" of the lord wizard.

The hunter took Xie Yi to the place where the nearest victim, Old Jack, was killed. He didn't dare to go any further.

"Go back."

"You are not needed here," said the wizard.

He left with a happy thought.

Xie Yi continued to walk forward by himself, and it didn't take long before he saw the miserable corpse of Old Jack.

Because of the fear of the monster, the villagers didn't even dare to come to collect his body.

Old Jack's body was already mutilated, his hands and feet were scattered around his body, his abdomen was cut open, and his internal organs were completely eaten.

Many bugs had already settled on his body.

Xie Yi has seen patients dripping with blood, as well as injured patients who have suffered miserably from car accidents.

But that was nothing compared to the impact of the scene in front of him.

This is blatant massacre, a miserable situation in which human beings are helpless in the face of monsters and can only be slaughtered.

Although he was mentally prepared, Xie Yi subconsciously took a few steps back, his face was pale, and he had to support a tree next to him.

This is also one of the reasons why he let the hunter so happily just now.

He can't let anyone see him the way he is now.

He is a wizard, and he should have seen a thousand times bloodier than this. How could he lose his composure because of this scene?

Xie Yi felt the smell of blood in his breath, but he still forced himself to look over.

He had to get used to it, before returning to the Wizard's Tower.

He forced himself to look at it for a while, and when he couldn't take it anymore and looked away, he found that the big cat he met yesterday was squatting on a branch and looking at him, very close to him.

He closed his eyes and said to the big cat, "I'm so scared."

Yes, he was scared.

He was afraid of seeing this, and he was also afraid that he would become like this.

The big cat tilted its head, quickly jumped off the branch and walked towards him.

But still very cautiously keep a certain distance from Xie Yi.

Xie Yi prepared herself mentally, and forced herself to look at the corpse again.

He has to get used to it, he has to adapt.
