Chapter 3
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
After the man finished speaking, the woman next to him immediately put the roasted suckling pig leg wrapped in lotus leaf on the table and put it on Luo Mo, and told him that he couldn't eat it by himself, while driving him out of the living room.
....isn't this couple too philistine? Looking at the pig leg in his arms speechlessly, Luo Mo, who was pushed to the gate, was messed up in the wind.
But when he calmed down, he could basically understand why they did this, because the ghosts valued power most, and then reproduced offspring.
As demihumans, the Oni are known for their toughness, powerful magic, and unparalleled fighting power.
The only thing that can be called a disadvantage is that it is too strong, which makes it difficult to conceive. Therefore, the ghosts with strong power can only hide in the mountains to avoid losing a few compatriots in battle and exterminating their clan, but even this is just reluctance. day.
Luo Mo's middle-aged parents feel that they can't give birth no matter how hard they try. They should just want to use the waste, so that the village is basically not expected in advance, so no one will want Rem and Luo, who are both unicorns. Mo got married and hoped that they would have a normal child.
When the average life expectancy is lower, the age of marriage will be lower. Now the ghost clan is almost going to be exterminated. It is not uncommon to get married at the age of ten. After all, the physique of ghosts is far better than that of humans.
As for what Ram likes himself.... Luo Mo didn't think about it.
The normal meaning of liking should be there, but it must have nothing to do with men and women. It is impossible for a nine-year-old child to understand this. He should really just want to be with Rem, and he doesn't like other people in the village who looked down on them. Simply offer to marry him.
As a ghost clan that values power to the point of being so few in number that they want to exterminate their clan, and even execute unqualified babies, although Ram's parents are definitely reluctant to marry Ram to him, they can't ignore the decision to be the next patriarch, and there are " Ram's comments on the title of "The Return of Ghosts and Gods".
"...This kind of clan is really interesting, and my life is getting more and more judgmental..."
Arriving in front of the twins' house, Luo Mo muttered while knocking on the door, feeling speechless and funny about the current situation.
The door that was unlocked was quickly pushed open from the inside, and Rem cautiously stuck out his little head just as he was about to say something, when he found out that it was Luo Mo, he showed a lovely smile:
"Carlos.... come to play with us?"
"Well, maybe that's the case? Let's go for a walk together?"
"Hmm! Wait, Rem is going to call her sister now."
Rem nodded in agreement without hesitation, then ran back into the house and pulled Ram out.
The three of them walked towards the small river near the village as usual. On the way, Luo Mo looked at the two sisters who were always inseparable. After thinking about it, he gave the suckling pig legs in his hand to the two young girls, and asked casually:
"You two, do you know what happened at noon?"
"Sister and Rem, what about marrying Carlos next year?"
"You are really lucky to be able to marry beautiful sisters like us."
Rem said with a happy face, but she should just be happy that they can spend more time together in the future. Ram also didn't care about this matter, and his attitude was a little high as usual.
"...You really don't know what marriage means exactly..."
Looking at the two prospective young wives in front of him, he didn't have any dissatisfaction with them, but he wasn't very happy about this kind of thing, or it was probably perverted to be really happy.
He has always only regarded these twins as the twins he grew up with, and treated them as sisters and daughters, and he had nothing else to think about.
"The meaning of marriage? Isn't it just being able to eat delicious food! I really hope.... I can come soon next year~"
Rem tilted her head slightly and thought about it, and she immediately thought of the rare feast in the village when others got married, and her face filled with anticipation.
Ram unwrapped the lotus leaf packaging and took a bite, then with a look of surprise, he directly folded the pig's feet in half and handed half of them to Rem:
"This tastes good, let's try Rem too."
"Thank you~ sister!"
"Rem is really a little greedy..."
Rem's innocent appearance made Luo Mo do not know what to say for a while, but he quickly put down the question and looked at Ram: "What about my share? You also leave me a little bit!"
"Ram will have a little left for you."
"Well, Rem will also keep it for Carlos?"
"Ha.... Forget it, you should eat it, I won't rob you."
Seeing how the two sisters were conquered by suckling pig legs, he still gave up fighting with children even if he had tasted delicious food after a long time.
Just looking at the pair with gentle eyes, the sisters who grew up with him, but he doesn't care about the so-called marriage, after all...he is not going to stay here until next year.
..........
About a week after verbally confirming the marriage contract, the ghost village became lively, and the three of them went to the altar together after a lapse of nine years.
However, unlike the last time they were about to be executed, this time they officially confirmed their marriage next year in front of their ancestors and everyone.
"I feel really strange about being engaged to two young girls..."
"What are you talking about as a child, Ram's mood is complicated when you are engaged to a child like you!"
"Sister, Carlos, this.... stop arguing at this time, you will be scolded..."
Luo Mo looked at his young wife and complained, Ram followed his words and went back as usual, while Rem hurriedly stopped the two restless guys with a crying expression.
"Be serious!"
The white-haired patriarch saw that the three of them looked restless, and indeed scolded as Rem expected:
"Carlos and Rem! The two of you can become a family with Ram! You should be lucky! Don't make a fool of yourself at this time! Do your best to help Ram!"
"Yes..." Luo Mo just nodded casually with no motivation, but Rem nodded in a panic: "I, we know, please rest assured, clan.... patriarch!"
"Carlos! What is your attitude!?"
Luo Mo's attitude made the stern-faced patriarch instantly clench his fists as if he was going to beat him, but at the critical moment Ram stood up and stood in front of Luo Mo and said expressionlessly:
"Carlos will be Ram's person in the future. Ram will discipline him well, so you don't need to worry about the patriarch."
"Ram...!"
The patriarch seemed to want to scold the other party, but he was worried about something, and swallowed back half of the words.
The side just happened to be a guest of the ghost clan two days ago, and by the way, the giant clan elder who also participated in this ceremony, Cromwell also shook his head and discouraged:
"It's too outrageous to be so cruel to the child. Since she is already planning to get married, let's just leave what you said."
"Marriage has nothing to do with war! Cromwell, you won't... plan to just give up!"
"No matter how many times I say it, the old man's answer will not change. The old man is already tired, and now the old man has children to take care of. There is no point in talking about it any more. I will return to the capital tomorrow."
Facing the pressing gaze of the patriarch, Cromwell was only relatively calm, and did not intend to continue talking with the patriarch in any way.
The sudden conversation between the two left Luo Mo and Rem at a loss, but Ram was still uninterested, so Luo Mo couldn't help but ask:
"Ram, does their topic have anything to do with you?"
"It's just a stupid adult, stupidly planning a stupid plan."
Chapter 6 The daily life that suddenly ended
Ram's disdainful words, combined with the words of the patriarch and the giant grandfather, made Luo Mo couldn't help but think of the civil war that happened in the kingdom decades ago, recorded in the history books.
This made him suspect that the patriarch wanted to provoke a civil war again.
After all, Ram's talent is indeed exaggerated, so even if there are only people from this village left in the ghost clan now, but everyone is a master and still young, the strength can be better than the patriarch Ram, it is not impossible. Unite the demi-humans to fight for the dominance of the kingdom.
".... This matter will be discussed later, and the ceremony will continue now."
The patriarch showed dissatisfaction when he heard Ram's evaluation, but he closed his eyes and rested without saying anything, and no longer cared about the affairs of their three children.
"Hmph, it would have been better if this happened earlier."
Ram had a triumphant look on his face, while Rem nodded to the patriarch and apologized for her sister's rudeness.
But the recent Ram is basically the same. Except for his parents, Rem, and Luo Mo, he has a ruthless attitude towards others... To be precise, he doesn't seem to be too merciful to Luo Mo.
But the ceremony continued in such a strange atmosphere, but.... from the primary and secondary point of view, it was inexplicably like Luo Mo married Ram, and then it was the feeling that Rem married Luo Mo.
Obviously this country is not monogamous, but it still makes Luo Mo feel that he is more monogamous.... I guess it's because the ghosts place too much emphasis on power, right?
However, the next day returned to the usual tranquility. The grandfather of the giants left the next day, and the long-lost visit to the village was gradually forgotten by everyone.
The days are still passing slowly, but Luo Mo plays with his young wives from time to time as usual, and then focuses on the exploration of the light halberd matrix by the river at night, and the cycle repeats day after day.
About a month after Luo Mo obtained the halberd matrix, when he was still studying magic alone late at night as usual, he firmly rejected the twin sisters who wanted to play with him, but today...not far away The village is in a different situation than usual.
.....................
The moonlight tonight was frighteningly bright, and under the moonlight, a strange shadow appeared in the dense woods near the village.
To be precise, it was a group of people whose whole body was covered in black robes, and their heads and faces were hidden by things like hoods, and even men and women could not judge.
These people are all holding cross-shaped daggers without exception. Whether it is judged from the clothes or the sharp weapons in their hands, it is not as simple as visiting or just passing by.
These people in black robes were silently hiding under the shade of the trees, until everyone fell asleep around two in the morning, and these people who remained motionless finally started to act.
They quietly and silently poured into the village from all directions, and easily opened the doors of the houses and sneaked inside.
The ghosts who have been at ease for a long time are completely unaware of the invasion of the shadows. The ghosts, which are known as the strongest race of demihumans because of their one-kids, are no different from ordinary people when they are unprepared. There is absolutely no difference at all. Those who resisted lost their lives in their sleep.
It was not until they invaded the house of the patriarch who had real combat experience and was the number one leader in the Asian army that they finally revealed their actions.
"--gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
An astonishing roar resounded through the sky, and also awakened the sleeping villagers.
The white-haired but old and strong patriarch, with two radiant horns on his forehead, forcibly tore the uninvited guest who broke into the house in half with his bare hands.
And more black-robed people who besieged the house, also raised their hands directly at this moment to throw fireballs, throw wind blades, summon ground thorns, and pour out all kinds of magic.
But the white-haired old ghost had already rusted with a blade that had lost its former edge and rushed out of the house, easily severing the surrounding black-robed people into two pieces.
And when he noticed how every household was burning, his whole body trembled, his eyes burst out with extreme anger, he let out a roar like a beast again, waving the big knife in his hand, he rushed towards the dark shadow coming towards him in the distance. vent your anger.
Those enemies who were shrouded in black robes from head to toe, but who were extraordinary in both magic and martial arts, were chopped down like straws in front of this old ghost, and no one could resist his path.
Obviously, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Even if they are fighting the old ghost alone, they still have the ability to slaughter them all.
It's just.... I don't know why the old ghost has turned into a ghost, but the old ghost doesn't use magic at all, even the magic power or the strength of the limbs have not improved in any way, even the brilliance of the horns is dimmed little by little, and the movements are getting more and more. slow.
It is normal for a person to get tired quickly, but the physical fitness of the ghost clan should not be so low, but it seems that when he noticed something, the black-robed man who could only be left to slaughter was surrounded by the old ghost who was too sluggish. They also seized the opportunity to stab the cross sword into the body of the white-haired old ghost who was inexplicably incompetent.
The burly figure trembled violently, and then fell backwards so straight and completely lost his voice.
.................
Luo Mo, who didn't know anything about what happened in the village, was still meditating with his eyes closed by the river, but he was suddenly startled by the roar of people who suddenly came from a distance.
"This voice.... the patriarch? He doesn't have anything to howl at night? Could it be that he is learning from wolves? Want to be a wolf?"
Luo Mo, who was so frightened that he opened his eyes reflexively, complained depressedly while looking in the direction of the village, wondering what the patriarch was trying to do.
But when he turned in the direction of the village, he froze in place.
The dark night sky is already a fiery red... It seems to be lit by the raging fire from the ground.
Before he can figure out what's going on, then...
--boom! ! !
A huge roar suddenly erupted in the direction of the village, completely breaking the supposedly quiet night.
The beautiful villages in the valley became noisy in the blink of an eye. The sounds of screams, roars and miserable howls were played in a disorderly manner, and even the panicked voices of people could be faintly heard by the river.
The power of the ghost clan is undeniable, but they have been at ease for too long, and they still don't understand the truth of thinking about danger in times of peace.
Even if you are still taught magic and martial arts, let alone normal fighting and killing, it is rare to even fight once in the village all year round. Every day is just farming, hunting, giving birth, and raising children in the village, even if you are reluctant to fight. The enemy was soon outnumbered by the number of opponents.
Compared to the panicked villagers, those black-robed people never made any sound. Whether it was killing or being killed, they just ignored men, women and children like marionettes without mercy, and carried out indiscriminate slaughter.
Chapter 7 Remorse
Looking at the flames that shot into the sky and listening to the constant battle sounds coming from the village, Luo Mo just stared blankly at the sky, feeling that he couldn't react.
Even though he had heard that the world outside the village was not very peaceful, and that the security was at the level of the Middle Ages, he had lived in a ghost village without any disputes for a long time, and lacked a true understanding of the world.
Just like knowing the chaos in the Middle East in the past, without a real understanding, there will be no more ideas except sighs.... What about the same world? That has nothing to do with me.
As a rebirth, although the start was very unfavorable, and he almost died as soon as he was born, he survived without any danger. He also met a future world-class powerhouse, and has the possibility of becoming stronger.
Then he should be able to survive childhood and become stronger. According to his naive, superficial, but very in line with the wishes of normal men, meet beautiful girls to cultivate the relationship between the two, become a hero and marry three, five, six, seven beauties. Girl, beauty, royal sister.
There will be ups and downs in the process, but it will never be a desperate situation. Maybe you can become a king.
However....the reality has a huge deviation from his fantasy. Compared with the possible bright future, the accident has come much faster.
The exclamations and screams wafting from a distance made him fully aware of how foolish his past thoughts were, and instinctively wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet to escape from here.
Although he has lived in the ghost village for nine years, he can talk about his relationship with the ghost village.... That's really nothing, and giving up the village is basically no mental burden for him.
Except for the twins he looked up to, he didn't think anyone else was worth risking himself, but...
