First appeared a young man dressed as a farmer, wearing a shabby hood and holding a rusty pitchfork in his hand.
After noticing the three Coles in his field of vision.
The young man was stunned.
With his strong southern accent, he was surprised and said, "you... Foreigners?"
Keep your distance.
Move your feet slowly.
The young man put his fingers into his mouth and whistled sharply.
Not long.
Five men and one woman, holding all kinds of old weapons... Or farm tools, cautiously walked out of the thick fog and stood beside the youth.
They first looked at the three strangers who appeared in the enfermond mountains with hostile eyes.
lay one 's head to the level of sb . 's ear.
whisper to one another.
Aware of the injured Vera.
After a heated argument.
The first young man who appeared put away his pitchfork, walked up to Cole, kept a safe distance of one meter, looked at Vera and said, "she was hurt... Did those animals do it?"
Hardy frowned. "Who are you?"
from the beginning.
The young man's eyes would glance at Vera Morgan from time to time.
Although there was no malice, it was difficult to hide his admiration, which was written in his eyes.
The pitchfork stood beside him.
The young man's eyes crossed Hardy, fell on the ghoul's body and said, "I'm Ethan. I go into the mountain at this time... Are you the demon hunters of the Empire?"
Vera took a breath of air-conditioning, took Hardy's arm and got up. She said expressionless, "so you are the residents of hedelia?"
Ethan took off his hood, looked up at the sky and frowned, "my house is a distance from hedelia... Let's not say that. Although hum, thank you for helping us deal with those ghouls, I think you may not be able to leave here for the time being.
Rain is coming.
If you don't want to freeze to death in the mountains, come with me. "
Finish.
The young man looked at Cole and asked his companion to return the same way.
Two hours later.
Freezing rain mixed with fine hail fell on the enfemonde mountains.
The increasingly humid air.
Bitter cold.
The village where Ethan is located is very small, located on a relatively flat mountain, with less than ten simple stone houses.
See them return safely.
An old man guarding outside eagerly gave a hug to the young people in the village, and then stared warily at the three strangers in front of him.
Holding Ethan, he frowned and whispered, "why did you bring a group of foreigners here? Don't forget..."
The young man interrupted the old man's voice and said helplessly, "they are the demon hunters of the Empire. They may have come to investigate the recent changes in hedelia town.
And one of them was bitten by a ghoul.
In this terrible weather, I just want to kill them by leaving them in the mountains. "
The old man sighed, said nothing more, shook his head and returned home.
Ethan asked the three of cole to go to his house to have a rest.
Push the door open.
The two warm little guys who had been hiding in the quilt shouted excitedly, jumped out of bed and ran to hug him affectionately.
"Brother! You're finally back!"
"Leia is worried to death after going out for so long..."
Ethan rubbed the heads of the two little guys, turned his head and smiled at Vera, "Joran, Claudia.
My brother and sister.
Don't worry about them. You find a place to sit first. I'll burn some hot water. "
Vera smiled and teased the two shy little guys and asked, "where are your parents?"
"They went to hedelia and never came back."
Ethan's voice was quite helpless and said, "we originally lived in enfermond and came to this place six years ago.
And I never saw them again. "
The little girl seemed a little older than the boy. She hugged Ethan's leg tightly, avoided Vera's bloody right hand and twisted her face to one side.
Hardy glanced at the layout of the room.
An old wooden bed.
A battered old wooden table and four chairs.
Clothes and trousers hung on the rope, washed and washed, discolored and deformed seriously.
besides.
I'm afraid only the gray black carpet in the middle of the floor is worth some money.
Sit in a chair.
Soon, Ethan came in with four cups of hot water, a small stove made by local method, lifted the curtain of the door.
The freezing rain outside the window didn't stop.
Outside the pattering rain, there was silence and depression.
A rambling gossip.
Ethan finally talked about the reason why his parents came to hedelia town.
"... I'm still in middle school. I vaguely remember that my father lost a lot of money in business and the bank took away our house and car.
The usury bastard broke his leg.
At that time, Leia was only one year old and Joran was not born.
Until one day, my father told us that he found a way to pay off the debt and took us to hedelia... "
Maybe it reminds him of many bad memories.
Ethan clenched his right hand, remained silent for a long time and said, "in the next two years, life was ok, at least there were no banks and usury to collect debts.
My parents also began to believe in a strange sect. Now I want to come. At that time, they have begun to be delirious, so one night, I escaped with my brother and sister.
And the others who escaped from haderia built this village. "
Vera frowned. "Then why don't you go back to enfmond?"
Ethan showed a very bitter smile and explained, "Miss Vera, there is a very old evil legend in hedelia town. The selected children of God can never leave its kingdom.
I tried to leave.
But they all failed. These mountains seem endless when you try to leave... "
I don't seem to want to continue this heavy topic.
Ethan smiled at Vera and joked, "fortunately, life in the village is quite calm, but... Hehe, with all due respect, Miss Vera Morgan, you can rarely see girls as beautiful as you here."
Suddenly received the praise, the girl was stunned, smiled awkwardly and said, "er... Thank you."
obviously.
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Ethan loves her very much. It can be said that it is love at first sight.
After a silence.
The young man looked at Cole and said with a smile, "tell me about you. Although I have known the existence of the imperial demon hunting regiment, you are still the first demon hunter in hedelia for so many years.
I saw the ghoul's body thrown in your camp earlier. So you must be very good. "
When chatting.
Joran and Claudia, hiding in the quilt, secretly watched the people talking in the room through a gap.
After touching Cole's eyes.
The little girl let out a cry and hurriedly pulled down the quilt, afraid to peek.
This is the scene.
Hardy thought of Marian urging him to get married early and have more children. He smiled inexplicably, got up and went to the bed to tease the two shy little guys.
Ethan smiled and shook his head.
I don't think the demon hunter is as cruel as he remembered. Strangers are not allowed to enter.
Just some like him.
Just a living person.
When he got up and was ready to go to the kitchen to see if there was any food to entertain the guests.
But suddenly heard the silent village, sounded a burst of dense footsteps, a dialogue with human conversation.
The smile on his face suddenly changed into panic!
No -!
