Chapter 250 Human nature
According to legend, Sinnied Island was built by ancient elves, and the entire island was shrouded in a mysterious magic barrier.
The ancient elves under the wizard worldview are called Iron Woodod.
Due to a drastic change in which no one has learned the truth, the ancient elf Ain Woodod was targeted by a terrifying natural phenomenon called Baishuang.
Once Bai Baiqi catches up, the whole world will be frozen by ultra-low temperatures reaching absolute zero and lose all vitality.
In order to escape the threat of White Frost, the Elf Iron Woodod uses their innate abilities to travel through various worlds.
However, although Baishuang did not pursue her quickly, it seemed to recognize that Ain Woodod, who had been abusing her racial talent and destroying the rules of the universe, never stopped pursuing the elves.
During the Great Escape every once in a while, the Elf Iron Woodod was forced to act separately.
Some of the ancient elves came to the world of the wizard master, gradually settled in this stable world, and evolved into the local elves known to the world as time passed - Ain Sheidi.
Another part of the elves who escaped separately went to another different world. They gradually called themselves Ian Al, becoming the origin of the Ghost Knight who was later given the name of Wild Hunting.
According to legend, the ancient elves Ain Woodod had a brilliant magical civilization, and the magic development of the wizard master's world is inseparable from the enlightenment of the ancient elves.
Sinid Island is one of the first strongholds for the ancient elves to settle in this world.
Under the transformation of the elves, the island has many mysterious facilities left over from ancient times, some of which were inherited and activated by humans.
But the Sinid Island coup almost ruined all of this.
Nowadays, only some magic circles are retained near the Aritusa Magic Academy in Xiannid Island, and most of them have become invalid due to disrepair.
According to Visemir and Triss, when the coup in the Sennied Island occurred, Geralt and Yennefa happened to take Cialis to study at the Aritusa College.
This drastic change affected the unlucky three people, and Cili was targeted by the genius warlock Wigofortz.
Hiding from Tibet, Xili fought desperately through an unstable portal on the island, and was teleported to the vast and uninhabited Coraz Desert in an orderly manner, successfully getting rid of Wigofotz's pursuit.
The panic experience of running around on Sennied Island must have left a profound impact on Xiri.
Maybe she still remembers some dangerous but still effective devices, intending to escape the tracking of wild hunting through these unstable ancient devices.
After strolling into the village, Xin Sheng and Natiya, who were riding tall horses, attracted many people to observe secretly.
There are few such fully armed travelers in the poor Wilen area. The powerful Pegas made some vicious people feel bad.
After undergoing the mutation trial of the Demon Hunter, Xin Sheng's five senses became more sensitive before.
The malice like a needle prick made his hair stand up.
‘The poor mountains and bad waters are coming out of troubled people.’
Once it is pushed to its limit, humans can do anything, and rationality has extremely limited ability to limit in extreme cases.
Originally, Xin Sheng and Natiya planned to stay in this small village, but there was not even a tavern or a hotel in the village, only a dozen thatched huts with air leakage everywhere.
The pale-faced and thin villagers returned from the deserted fields listlessly with hoes. From their expressions and eyes, they could see that the harvest last year was very bleak.
‘After inquiring about the information, leave as soon as possible.’
Instead of taking the risk of living in the village and malice against humans, Xin Sheng would rather sleep in the suburbs.
At least wild beasts and monsters will not be as full of ghost thoughts as humans. They can predict their behavior patterns to a certain extent and make corresponding preparations in advance.
"Uncle, please wait."
Xin Sheng dismounted and walked to a farmer with a yellow face. He was carrying a severely damaged hoe on his shoulder and had just returned from the field.
"ah?"
The middle-aged farmer who was not interested in his mind raised his head with a dull look on his face.
Xin Sheng tried to show a friendly attitude: "May I ask, have you ever seen a silver-haired woman passing by here in a hurry?"
"Silver hair...woman?"
The farmer's reaction was a little slow. He repeated Xin Sheng's problem. The brain, which lacked sufficient nutritional supply, began to function normally.
"It seems, have you seen it?"
Although the farmer's words were self-doubt, Xin Sheng and Natiya were still excited.
After glanced at the malicious eyes hidden in the dark, Xin Sheng leaned close to the farmer and whispered: "Can you tell me where she is going? I will provide you with some food in return."
'food!'
Food is the source of anxiety that the farmer thought about day and night. When he heard this word, his originally listless eyes suddenly widened.
Fortunately, the farmer uncle was quite alert and did not shout out the word "food".
When the farmer learned that he might get food as a reward for providing information, the farmer's attitude changed significantly. He rubbed his hands with a flattering look and said to Xin Sheng: "This is not a place to talk. Please come with me."
Xin Sheng raised his head and glanced at the village. Most of the villagers who had contact with his eyes were hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Indeed, let's talk about it in another place."
...
Uncle Farmer has a very popular name, Tom.
After following Tom back to his home, in order to win food rewards with good performance, Tom said a lot of information circulating in Willen as if he was pouring beans.
Among them are the clues of the silver-haired woman that Xin Sheng and Natiya want to know the most.
After the conversation, Tom, his wife, children and two sons, were like starving ghosts, chewing on the black bread they held in his hands like starving ghosts.
"Well!"
The younger child choked because he swallowed too quickly. Old Tom punched his youngest son on the back without hesitation, helping him swallow the bread.
‘…Simple and crude way, but it’s quite effective.’
According to the clue provided by Tom, it may be that the silver-haired woman from Cialis had arrived at the village two days ago.
After replenishing water by the small river flowing through the village, the silver-haired woman hurried to the southwest after only resting for less than half an hour.
'southwest?'
Xin Sheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Do you Goswellen? You really want to go to Xiannied Island."
Tom did not see anyone following the beautiful silver-haired woman, but the other party was always very alert and immediately showed fierce eyes when there was any movement.
It can be basically confirmed that this person is being hunted by wild hunting, like a frightened bird.
In addition to the intelligence about Cili, Old Tom also mentioned some strange events that have happened recently.
The province of Waylen is located in the northwest corner of Temolia, spanning south of the Ponta River basin of the northern kingdom.
Since the Sinid Island coup, the Willen area has become increasingly poor.
Logically speaking, such a poor area should not attract the covetousness of others.
But the fact is exactly the opposite.
During his recent trip to farm, Tom discovered many soldiers who came secretly across the river from the north bank of the Ponta River.
These soldiers did not have any signs of identifying their identities, and they seemed to be just a group of wandering idle mercenaries.
But old Tom, who once joined the army, can assert that, judging by the discipline that those people enforced orders, they are definitely regular soldiers of a certain country.
‘Northern of Willen?Redania?’
Xin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and he vaguely felt the smell of gunpowder.
‘One wave has not yet settled, another wave has risen again.’
‘The threat from the Niphgad Empire is near, and these northern kingdoms still have the opportunity to engage in internal fighting. Haha~ It really fits the fighting nature of human beings.’
"Ye!"
While Xin Sheng was thinking about Redania's intentions, the loud hissing of Pegas came from outside the house, followed by human screams.
