After Tang Zheng left "E-Rantel" early in the morning, he followed the information and rudimentary maps collected from the Adventurer's Guild.
Heading towards the northwest, the most border area of the "Kingdom of Li Yestije" near the Tob Forest.
There is a place called Karn Village.
this village.
It belongs to a border village, but it has a history of nearly a hundred years. However, even with a long history, it still cannot change the current situation of poverty in the village.
It is a completely inconspicuous and even ignored existence in the kingdom, but in the anime, it runs through a series of plots!
certainly.
This village actually has no connection with the various plots, and is more like a plot transfer station.
"Wow!"
A Goblin lying in the grass on a desolate hill by the roadside suddenly rushed out.
Tang Zheng glanced away and immediately pulled out the iron sword from his waist. He easily dodged the ambushing goblin by turning sideways and slashed it with his arm.
puff!
The sword flashed!
The goblin screamed and his body was cut in half on the spot.
"Gain 30 experience points"
Tang Zheng shook the green blood stained on the iron sword expressionlessly, and looked around, only to see four more goblins emerging from the grass.
"What a troublesome creature." Tang Zheng had a thought in his mind and said:
"Magic arrow!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After consuming 5 points of magic power, Tang Zheng spent another 1 point of magic power to create 4 magic arrows in one go and shoot them at the 4 goblins that appeared.
Four green blood flowers bloom!
As the sound of falling to the ground sounded, the information on the attribute panel appeared.
"Gain 27 experience points"
"Gain 25 experience points"
"Gain 30 experience points"
"It's similar to the experience of beasts. You should be able to level up by 1 level after arriving at Karn Village. The level level does increase faster in the early stage."
Tang Zheng stepped forward and said The ears of the dead goblin were all cut off. After all, Goblin ears can be exchanged for money at the Adventurer's Guild.
That's a lot of money.
on the next journey.
Tang Zheng encountered several waves again, but they were no longer just goblins, but also attacked by some small monsters. Under such circumstances, Tang Zheng finally arrived at a small village surrounded by wooden railings and with a little smoke in the evening. Glancing around. Such defensive wooden railings basically have little blocking effect in the face of attacks from monsters in the forest! And this village is very close to Kahn Village in the Tob Forest. But it has always existed and was not destroyed by monsters, which is an interesting thing in itself. Along the way, he was attacked by monsters from time to time, and Tang Zheng's feelings were naturally the most vivid. After leaving "E-Rantel", the number of monsters and goblins gradually increased, but as we got closer to Karn Village, the number of monsters actually decreased a lot. This is because, in the Tob Forest, there are three major monsters known as the "Forest Dominators"! Hamsuke, the great monster that rules the forest in the south, is the wise king of the forest. The eastern giant, the ruler of the forest in the east—Troll Gu! The Demonic Snake of the West, the ruler of the forest in the west—Naga Lularus! These three beings can be said to jointly control the entire Tob Forest, and Kahn Village is the territory of Hamsuke, the wise king of the forest. This is why no monsters attacked Karn Village. The three forest rulers are all around level 30, and the forest sage king Hamsuke is at a higher level. According to human terms, they are all beings who have entered the realm of heroes. But humans who are also in the realm of heroes are almost impossible to match the three forest rulers in a one-on-one situation! This is the advantage of demihumans or alien species. Tang Zheng looked away from the gate of Kahn Village and looked not far away, where he could already see the endless primitive jungle visible to the naked eye. His sight was blocked by tall and dense branches and leaves, and he could not see anything. However, Tang Zheng's eyes showed solemnity and fear. In the Tob Forest, the truly terrifying ones are not the three forest rulers! But there is an existence located in the deepest part of the forest! 200 years ago, one of the monsters that came to this world during the 13 Heroes Period was the "Demon Tree". The opponent's level was as high as 85LV. Even then, it was not completely eliminated. It was just sealed in the deepest part of the Tob Forest. When the anime plot begins. The reason why Shalltear suddenly encountered the troops of the "Dark Ceremony", the most powerful festival in the Slaan Theocracy, and they also brought the world-class props "Empowering the Nation". It's all because Shalltear is unlucky! The "Dark Sacred Scripture" carries world-class items, and the real purpose of its dispatch is because the seal sealing the "Demon Tree" has begun to loosen. They wanted to lift the seal of the Demonic Tree and use the world-class item [Emperor] to control each other, but they encountered Shalltear. This resulted in an inexplicable fight between the two sides! In the anime, it is only mentioned briefly, but in the Bunko version of the novel, there is still some description. The "Dark Ceremony" suffered heavy losses. The human who used the world-class props was killed by Shalltear in a counterattack before he could control him. This is also the reason why Shalltear turned into a "wild monster" even though she was controlled. It was entirely because the person who used [Overwhelming Kingdom] was dead.
"Who are you!"
Suddenly, two middle-aged villagers holding steel forks appeared at the entrance of Kahn Village. They looked wary and looked at Tang Zheng who appeared at the entrance of their village.
"Excuse me, I'm a traveler passing by the village and want to stay here for a night." Tang Zheng looked at the two of them and spoke softly while maintaining a gentle tone.
Hear this.
The two villagers holding steel forks looked at each other. The alertness and vigilance in their eyes did not fade at all. Instead, they first glanced in the direction behind Tang Zheng.
The two villagers' expressions softened slightly when they found that Tang Zheng was alone.
"Wait a minute."
The two villagers obviously couldn't make a decision. One of them said to Tang Zheng, then turned around and ran quickly towards the village.
Didn't have to wait long.
The villager who left came over with a man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with dark, rough skin and gray-brown hair.
Judging from the appearance of the man, he should be the village chief of Kahn Village. .
After the village chief rushed over, he looked at Tang Zheng carefully, especially his gaze on Tang Zheng's black hair.
"Are you here to stay overnight?" the village chief asked in a rough voice.
"That's right."
Tang Zheng nodded.
"Then please come in." The village chief did not ask any more questions, but spoke happily.
This surprised Tang Zheng.
There are basically no outsiders visiting Kahn Village all year round. Only in late autumn, tax collectors and merchants who purchase medicinal herbs come.
"Village chief?"
The two villagers asked in surprise, obviously not expecting the village chief to agree so happily.
It was already evening, and coming to their village at this time obviously made the two villagers feel uneasy.
"In the past two months, the monsters and beasts in the forest are most restless." The village chief sighed and opened the railing.
Hear this.
Only then did the two villagers realize that although their village was peaceful, the road to here was not peaceful.
The fact that the other party can come here by himself shows that he is very powerful. The wooden guardrails in the village cannot stop him at all.
But the other party didn't do this, which showed that the black-haired boy had no ill intentions.
Figure this joint out.
The two villagers also lost their initial vigilance.
Under the leadership of the village chief, Tang Zheng followed the other party into Kahn Village.
