"elopement??"

Roy chewed these two words, subconsciously felt something was wrong, and hurriedly confirmed again:

"Uh, sorry, there seems to be something wrong with my ears. Village Chief, can you say it again?"

"Hmph!" The village chief snorted heavily and said impatiently: "You don't know whether you heard it wrong? Don't do this with me. You know why you do this!"

Royton felt a headache. After looking at the village chief's resolute look, he knew that he could not get an answer from him. He could only rub his chin and carefully recall all the information in the village.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Roy's mind and he said tentatively: "...Beast Tide?"

"Haha, it's true that talking to smart people is a pleasure!" said the village chief with a smile.

“……”

Roy's face was stiff. I hope you would like to deny my guess with ease.

…………

It was evening when Roy, who looked a little tired, left the village chief's house.

Looking quietly as Roy's somewhat desolate back dragged a long shadow in the setting sun, Tia and his father were speechless.

After a long time, after no Roy was seen, Tia asked her father gently, "Father, do you think the teacher will agree?"

The village chief smiled and said, "This kid will definitely agree!"

Tia wondered, "Are you so confident in your own judgment?"

The village chief chuckled and said, "I'm not confident, I just believe in my eyes! This kid will not stay in this broken village forever. I understand his eyes, which are eyes burning with ambition."

"Sooner or later he will take this step, and I'll just help him now."

"The down-and-out nobleman who has lost his power is still a nobleman at heart!"

Tia glanced at her father lightly: "Help him? Help him means throwing him into the vortex of conspiracy and tricks? You should know that there is something wrong with this aristocratic identity."

The village chief was dull for a while and said slowly: "...but we have no choice anymore, aren't we?"

"snort!"

Tia, who had nothing to say, snorted coldly, stopped talking to her father, and ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner by herself.

The village chief looked at Tia's back and couldn't help but smile bitterly, then looked at the burning clouds above the Black Bone Forest in the distance, with a dazed look.

......

Roy returned home and collapsed on the bed at home. He was not in the mood to prepare food, so he fell into thinking.

The nameless village where Roy is now located is located on the edge of the Black Bone Forest, which is a magical and energy-rich uninhabited area.

Therefore, this forest has been a dangerous place occupied by monsters since ancient times, and all kinds of monsters can be seen everywhere.

They either hunt alone or in groups, constantly fighting and evolving in this forest, and eventually become powerful extraordinary monsters.

For the monsters, they are the well-deserved masters of this forest.

However, humans also need various resources of the Black Bone Forest, such as plants, minerals, land, and even the monsters themselves!

So, a racial war related to survival and interests began.

And this small and nameless village is an outpost of the Duchy of Holy Dragon!

It was composed of a small army leader, with some sinners, slaves and their families.

Its main purpose is to set up an outpost on the Black Bone Forest border, be responsible for detecting the movements of the monsters and provide timely information to the cities behind.

Although the squad leader here was nominally granted the village chief by the Principality, he was also promised to become a landlord at the bottom of the aristocratic class of the Principality for more than ten years, and those sinners and slaves could also be pardoned and given the identity of a free people.

However, Roy, who knows the great blackness of the emperor, knows that these are just illusory promises like the moon in the well.

In essence, the people here are all baits to hold the footsteps of the beast tide!

Since the founding of the Principal Kingdom, there are fewer than a few villages that have successfully survived and received rewards! You should know that in the history of the Principal Kingdom's beast tide that has lasted for at least hundreds of years, there are tens of thousands of outpost villages established!

Such a slight probability of success is no wonder that this outpost plan is nicknamed the devil's trap by the boring nobles of the priests.

And now, the team leader, the village chief, discovered that the forest was incorrect. After some investigation, he confirmed that a new round of monster attack was about to begin - just not long after!

The village chief knew in his heart that once the beast tide broke out, it was impossible to avoid the simple small fortress in the village.

As for escaping, the Duchy of Holy Dragon is not a fool, so it has long blocked this possibility.

When everyone in this village was sent to the Black Bone Forest, their names were registered in the magic book and locked with special tracking magic!

Once the military inspectors found out that they had fled the village during the war, the military headquarters of the Duchy of Holy Dragon would issue a wanted order to pursue the country!

And those deserters who are both able to control their whereabouts but are unable to resist, facing the large-scale wanted and relentless pursuit of the Principality, can be imagined!

What's more, in order to intimidate them, the military headquarters of the Holy Dragon Principality will definitely not let them die so easily when dealing with deserters, especially their life-working outposts!

However, nothing is absolute, that is Roy: a foreign visitor who accidentally fell here, a special person who was not registered and had an unknown background.

Therefore, the village chief's intention to find Roy is obvious, hoping that Roy will play a fleeing nobleman from the Eastern Empire, take his daughter to elope, and use the protection of his noble identity to help his daughter escape this disaster!

As for where did that little noble proof come from?

According to the village chief, it was recently when the villagers found dead in the Black Bone Forest during their hunting. Their wealth was completely innocent, please feel free to use it.

Well, Roy just believes this for now.

"So, I'm driving the ducks to put them on the shelves and being a raccoon cat."

Roy sorted out his mood and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Although the village chief said it was lightweight, this was just an option.

But Roy knew in his heart that he actually didn't have much right to choose.

If he agrees, he will be involved in the conspiracy of this noble identity. Anyway, he does not believe that a nobleman would die in this black bone forest inexplicably and be discovered by the village chief. There must be something wrong with this.

If you don't agree, whether you stay in the village to resist the beast tide and be a Spartan warrior who serves as one hundred or one; or leave here and bet on whether your unarmed self can turn bad luck into a new village or town in this dangerous forest.

No matter what you think, it is a life-and-death road.

“Did I have no choice?”

Roy murmured, then slowly closed his eyes, with no joy or sorrow on his face, but a more violent thinking storm rolled up in his mind!

"There is only one that in the current situation!"

"No, no, the experiment is not mature yet, and the life safety of the experiment cannot be ensured."

"But the bad situation can no longer be delayed."

"But if you conduct this experiment recklessly, you will die!"

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

Just as Roy was thinking about himself, a knock on the door suddenly came, and the sound of visitors sounded outside the door: "Is Roy here? I'm Hank, today's prey is brought to you."

Roy was interrupted by his thoughts, sighed before getting up and walking to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a tall man blocked all Roy's vision.

The big man in front of him, Hank, had blond hair and brown eyes, nearly two meters tall, and was very strong. His thick arms were like hard stone pillars, and the scars of all sizes were visible on them. It made people think that they were a very cruel and powerful warrior at first glance.

In fact, Hank was sent here as a vicious mercenary before he was sent here. He was arrested for contradicting the nobles a few years ago and was suffering from suffering. He was a powerful warrior who dared to fight for his life with the knights.

When Hank saw Roy, his scarred face showed a hideous smile. He shook the package in his hand and said, "Roy, you are here, what do I bring this time? Today is a great harvest!"

“Welcome.”

Roy smiled, not asking what he brought today, but responded and made a gesture to invite him into the house as a guest.

"No, no, I'll just send you today's prey. If you have other things to do, I won't go in."

"The reward is still the same. Remember to tell me a love story about the princess in a few days!"

Hank looked at Roy with his eyes glowing, and said with a fanatical smile.

After saying that, without waiting for Roy to respond, he stuffed the package into his hands and turned around and left without any hesitation.

Roy held the package in his hand, and his face was amused and crying.

Why is it a girl-type story? I don’t have any inventory in my mind.

That’s right, Hank, a rough man in front of him, turned out to be a fan of a girl’s love story!

If this is known to people, Hank, who looks the most cruel and fights the most fierce, actually has a precious girlish heart, and he is afraid that it will cause a big mess.

Roy shook his head and suppressed the random thoughts in his mind.

"By the way!"

At this moment, Hank, who left with his back to Roy, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Roy deeply: "Roy, if you can leave, just do it as soon as possible. Of course, it is after you finish telling the story!"

"Hahaha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hank laughed and walked away.

"Is this a reminder that the next time he comes to listen to the story is the best time to leave?"

Roy felt warm in his heart and watched the other person leave until he disappeared at the corner before closing the door and returning to the house.
