In the quiet building at night, seeing Athir's appearance, the three people looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It has to be said that Athir's appearance was very deceptive and friendly. Even though they knew that the man in front of them had the power to fight against the terrifying insect beasts, the uneasiness and tension in their hearts were still reduced a lot.
One of the middle-aged men who looked the oldest stood up and looked at Athir respectfully and said, "Hello! We are from around here. May I ask who you are?"
He asked carefully, being cautious, afraid to anger the boy in front of him.
While he was speaking, the other two remained very quiet, just looking at Athir in front of them with a little expectation in their eyes.
Since the advent of the apocalypse, various monsters have emerged one after another, causing heavy losses to the residents of the original major kingdoms.
And so far, they have only seen one powerful warrior like Athir who can fight such a horrible monster with his bare hands.
If you can get in touch with the other person and establish a good relationship, your future days will definitely be much better.
Listening to their words and seeing their surprised looks, Athir did not reply but just shook his head.
He couldn't understand a word the other party said.
The language barrier is the biggest problem and it cannot be concealed.
Looking at the confused and nervous expressions of the three people opposite him, Atier had no intention of hiding anything and spoke a few words directly.
When the strange language entered his ears, the other party immediately understood the reason and showed a look of surprise on his face.
"This is not the language here. Is this someone from another kingdom?" the middle-aged man who spoke earlier asked in surprise.
"It's possible that they were students sent here to study three years ago."
Standing here, a thin young man behind him also spoke with some surprise: "I remember that three years ago, a group of noble descendants from foreign kingdoms came here to study abroad. This may be one of them."
"This child should be a powerful knight. I heard that there is a powerful knight group in the distant Alidu Kingdom, and they also sent a lot of people to us three years ago."
Among the three, another woman also spoke, with a gleam in her eyes as she looked at Athir.
"The so-called knights can't even stop a musket, let alone fight a head-on battle with insect beasts."
The young man at the side shook his head and said so.
"Stop talking!" A slight scolding came from the front.
The middle-aged man who had been talking to Athir before saw the two people whispering behind him and glared at them.
As the oldest person here, he has much more experience than the two people behind him and deeply understands what should be done now.
The other child possesses terrifying combat power, and his past identity must have been extremely remarkable. He may not be accustomed to their actions.
And since they speak different languages, their whispering will only increase each other's vigilance.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man slowly stepped back, pulled out a dagger in his arms without hesitation, then knelt on one knee, held up the dagger in his hand, and placed it in front of Athir.
Seeing the other party's actions, Athir was a little surprised.
The other party's actions seemed like some kind of etiquette in this world, and the meaning they were expressing was also very obvious.
Kneeling on one knee and handing over the weapons on your body, no matter what world you are in, it means to express respect and submission, to show that you are harmless.
Thinking of this, Atier couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. He slowly stretched out his left hand, picked up the dagger that the other party was holding out to him, and put it on his waist.
This action seemed to represent some kind of meaning. The moment they saw Athir pick up the dagger, the three people on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene was silent for a moment. Several people stood there for a long time, and only started to move when it was completely dark outside.
"It's already night outside, should we continue up?"
Among the three, the young man broke the silence and spoke in a low voice.
"We can't go up anymore." The middle-aged man shook his head. "It is said that there is a monster trapped in a room up there. If we go up together, something strange will probably happen at night."
"This building has the aura of that monster. Ordinary monsters don't dare to come here. We can stay here for one night and leave directly tomorrow."
Hearing this, the other two nodded silently without any additional comments.
I don't know what he was thinking of, but the middle-aged man sighed silently, and when he turned and looked at the stairs in the distance, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
While they were talking, Athir quietly walked to a corner and closed his eyes to rest.
In his mind, the chip was quickly analyzing the language of the three people opposite him.
However, because he had just come into contact with it and there was too little basic information, even if Atier allocated all the computing power of the chip to this task, it would still take a long time to complete the analysis.
After a while, under Athir's gaze, the middle-aged man opposite slowly walked towards him with a small piece of dried meat in his hand.
The other party deliberately stopped a little distance away from Athir.
The choice of this distance is also very subtle. It is not close enough to arouse people's vigilance, but it also gives Athir time to easily draw out his sword.
Standing there, the other party first carefully tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then held the dried meat in his hand in front of Athir.
Seeing this action, Athir nodded slightly, without making any extra movements, and directly took the thing in the other party's hand.
"The target food is non-toxic and can be eaten." A mechanical voice sounded in his mind, reminding Athir.
Athir did not hesitate and tried to slowly eat the piece of meat in his hand.
··········
Time passed bit by bit, and when the night was gradually halfway through, a unique feeling woke Athir up.
"The emergence of an unknown force field has been detected!" In his mind, a mechanical voice kept ringing.
This was a program that had been set long ago. As long as there was anything unusual around him, he would wake up immediately.
During one night, Athir was awakened several times, and each time he escaped safely.
But this time, things seem to be different.
Athir stood up quietly and silently drew the long sword at his waist with his right hand.
He walked quietly to the door and looked outside through the crack in it.
A dim light quietly lit up on the other side of the door, and there was endless darkness all around.
Before Athir could react to what was happening, he suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart, and an inexplicable feeling of palpitations enveloped his heart.
"What are these...eyes?"
This thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he stared calmly outside the door, looking through the gap.
There, those strange eyes still existed, flashing with hatred and madness.
