[Comprehensive] I see the king walking the deer every day

Although there are various methods to speed up the speed, when entering the village, the sun has already set behind the mountains, and the night is gradually falling.Although Qiao was holding pockets full of coins, she was brutally stopped outside the village by the guards, and she was not allowed to enter half a step.

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter!" The guard standing on the left said with a sullen face, "Please leave quickly, and you are not allowed to stay here!"

"It's also for your own good, little sister." The guard on the right tried to dissuade, "There are other villages and market towns nearby, so instead of using your money to bribe us, you might as well go find a place before it gets dark." Let’s stay overnight, it’s dangerous to go out alone in the dark.”

So since it's so dangerous, let her stay in for one night!

Qiao begged to no avail, and finally had to leave sadly, stepping back and forth. When she got to a place where the two guards couldn't see, she quickly put on the cloak of invisibility and sneaked back. ,

Just kidding, after finally getting here, who would take a long way to go to other villages, and seeing how sneaky they are, there is a problem, okay?This village is also very weird, with high walls erected around it, and if you want to enter, you really have to go through the gate at the entrance of the village.

Because of the guards, the door was always closed. Even if Qiao disappeared, it was not good to just rush in like this.She had no choice but to squat at the gate of the village, looking for opportunities to get in while resting.

After she left, the guards also breathed a sigh of relief. After relaxing their straight bodies, they bent down and started chatting casually.

"Tomorrow is the day of ancestor worship, and I don't know who the lord plans to choose to go to the mountain." The guard on the right said with a sigh.The guard was about 30 years old, with a dark spot on his face, and he looked ugly.Coupled with his low expression and haggard face, the whole person looks as if he is ten years older.

"What ancestor worship, that idiot deserves to be called ancestor, I think it's a giant worm!" The guard on the left said angrily, he looked younger, only in his twenties, and his square face looked very serious.It's just that as soon as he said this, his mouth was immediately covered by the elderly guard.

"You can't say that!" The elderly guard said anxiously, "If the lord hears about it, you and I will be sent to the mountain!"

"What are you afraid of? That thing only likes children and doesn't like us." The younger guard said, "Speaking of which, the little girl just now is qualified..."

"Don't make such a crime. She is only young and a foreigner, but she just passed by by chance. It would be too pitiful to be pulled into our stall." The guard with black spots on his face sighed, "It was her who we saw What a blessing, if the lord sees her, I'm afraid she will be dragged into the village immediately, and it will be useless to say anything at that time."

The two guards were talking, when they suddenly saw someone coming from behind, they immediately stopped talking.Instead, two other guards in leather armor came to replace them.Taking advantage of the opportunity when they changed shifts and opened the door, Joe also sneaked into the village.

There was silence in the village.Many people, old and young, were standing in the open space together, and the evening wind that had not dissipated the heat blew past them, but no one stretched their bodies.Everyone was still curled up and trembling.Although there were so many people standing on the field, there were still men in leather armor and weapons slamming on the door fiercely, checking one by one, and found a few trembling boys and girls in clothes .

A middle-aged man dressed more flamboyantly than the others stood in front of the crowd with his head raised. The belt inlaid with gorgeous gemstones was almost torn by his big belly.In front of the trembling villagers, he straightened up majesticly, and said loudly: "Master Baruka just sent a raven to deliver a message, and today is the deadline. Whoever hides a child at home, hurry up!" Hand it over! If the master finds it after searching by myself, then you will have a better time!"

"No, I really don't have the old master." A farmer cried, "Don't you know how many children there are in your family? They are all here! Besides, Master Heilong doesn't need so many..."

"Who said there is no need?" The middle-aged man raised his face, "Master Baruka has sent a letter, this time he wants at least five people. Of course, you don't have to worry, every family with a child will To be compensated with a certain amount of treasure, Master Baruka is very generous!"

The middle-aged man laughed with his double chin shaking, but the villagers below didn't laugh. Instead, they showed pain and sadness on their faces.Some of the families who got the treasure couldn't see the expressions of joy at all. Although they took the money tremblingly, their faces were terribly distorted.

very strange!Joe, who was stealthily peeking at the side, was puzzled.From what the middle-aged fat man said, it seems that the black dragon on the mountain gave these guys their money, which is really puzzling.The whole world knows how stingy and greedy dragons are, but this black dragon would actually hand over his own money to humans. He is simply Prometheus among dragons!

But Qiao didn't believe that the black dragon would be such a good dragon. She just heard that the reason why the dragon gave money was to buy the children of those people's families.Several boys and girls had been dragged to the center of the crowd, holding each other tightly and trembling, all of them seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.It's just that there are only four of them in total, not the five that the middle-aged man asked for.

Soon, the guards who searched the houses also came back and reported that no more hidden children were found.The middle-aged man rubbed his chin when he heard the words, frowned and said, "Since it's not enough, you can just catch a few more children under the age of 13."

Several villagers with children knelt down immediately when they heard this, and cried, "Master, Master Heilong only wants children between the ages of thirteen and fifteen!"

"The number of people is not enough, Master Baruka will definitely be angry. So I can only use smaller ones to make up the number, and find a few more to calm his anger. But don't worry, I will give more compensation money, It allows you to build big houses and live a better life!"

But those villagers still didn't look happy at all, and some wanted to resist, but were suppressed by the guards, and some were slightly injured, and fell to the ground and glared at the middle-aged man.

You should be unhappy, Joe thought to himself.The sons and daughters of the family have been taken away, so what is the use of getting more wealth?Seeing those guards starting to pull the younger children from the crowd, Joe couldn't bear it any longer. She walked to a corner wearing an invisibility cloak, quietly stretched out her wand at a piece of wood, and slapped the wood into a piece of wood. She became a little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.However, the person transformed from the wood is not only lifeless, but also has a hard body, so there is really no way to get away with it.After thinking for a while, Joe simply took off his invisibility cloak and revealed himself.Then he made a gesture to run out of the village, but deliberately fell down, causing everyone to look at him.

"There's another one!"

"Quick, grab her! Don't let her get away!"

Joe pretended to struggle, but actually let those people catch him obediently and threw him into the crowd.

Anyway, she was going to find Heilong, and if these children were to be sent, she would just be able to go along with them, and it would save them from catching younger children to make up the numbers.
