Chapter 13 Return Gift
"Huh... I'm finally full!"
Sui Yu felt satisfied with his stomach. Although the bread was a bit hard and the broth was a little light due to insufficient ingredients, Sui Yu was extremely hungry and Tolia's cooking skills were also very good, Sui Yu was still very satisfied with the meal.
Sui Yu, who was burping with his stomach, suddenly was stunned and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "I really can't feel hungry! Could it be that this game uses a taboo satiety simulation system? What should I do if this setting causes problems with the player's real body? Speaking of which, in such a real game world, coupled with such a high-intelligence NPC, I have never heard of any rumors at all. Now that I think about it, this situation is really weird! Could it be a private server that has not been launched yet, right?"
"Is the food delicious?" The blond girl Tolia couldn't help but show a bright smile to ask Sui Yu's feelings when she saw Sui Yu half-squint her eyes and showed an extremely enjoyable expression.
"Yeah! Very delicious!"
Sui Yu's answer made Tolia's smile even brighter. In fact, without Sui Yu's answer, it can be seen from the basket of bread and a large pot of broth that Sui Yu ate nothing left. Sui Yu was very satisfied with the meal.
Sui Yu, who was interrupted by Tolia, was no longer thinking about it and decided to set off as soon as possible.
Although the strong feeling of hunger in my stomach could no longer be felt, and even my body seemed to feel full of strength because of eating, Sui Yu, who was worried about the actual physical condition, decided to set off to find the player as soon as possible.
"I'm leaving! Goodbye!"
Walking quickly towards the door, while walking outward, Sui Yu raised his right hand to Tolia and waved goodbye to the blonde girl. If Sui Yu hadn't done this, his other hand was still covering his stomach that was a little swelling and painful because of overeating, he would probably be very handsome.
"That, Lord Sui Yu..." Tolia seemed to raise her hand and wanted to stop Sui Yu from leaving, but she was worried. After this hesitation, Sui Yu had already walked out of the stone house where the village chief temporarily invited him to rest.
The yard was very quiet, and the old village chief seemed not at home. He just happened to waste time with these NPCs who might never meet again. Sui Yu immediately walked out of the village chief's yard and ran to the main entrance of the village chief.
There were very few villagers along the way. Occasionally, a few villagers didn't react too much except for showing a look of fear and admiration, so Sui Yu soon arrived at the village head.
What surprised Sui Yu was that the gate of the village was very lively at this time, with a large number of people sitting around the ground, and there were many stones or metal dishes on the stones or wooden stakes among the circles. Judging from this situation, it seemed that most villagers in the village were having dinner here. The old village chief with gray hair was sitting just under a big tree at the beginning of the village, holding a piece of black bread, as if he was having dinner with everyone.
Of course, although they were having a meal, the old village chief was also discussing something with everyone.
"Tom's family, how many silver coins are there in your family? Take them out! Don't worry, I will compensate you with the equivalent copper coins you have collected! Although the Warriors kindly helped us kill those bastards, we must pay reasonable rewards according to the mercenary rules! At least we can't be too shabby, otherwise if the rules are broken, we or our descendants will suffer in the future!"
Sui Yu, who was close to the rear of the village chief, heard the village chief's words as soon as he arrived here. It seemed that the purpose of the village chief gathering everyone to have a meal was not only for convenience, but also to quickly discuss how to repay Sui Yu. This method is currently planning to raise funds...
Sui Yu had no hope for the amount that these NPCs with less than ten levels could afford, so he didn't care at all about how much money the old village chief and his friends planned to repay him. Instead, when Sui Yu saw that the village chief was trying hard to chew a kind of black hard bread. Although the dishes were also broth, the meat in the broth was not only one or two pieces, but the color of the soup was similar to water, and when Sui Yu thought of the big pot of thick soup he had just eaten, Sui Yu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Maybe, I just ate the broth that I had served in almost the village and the only white noodles in the village, right?"
Just when Sui Yu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, the old village chief swallowed a bite of bread and saw a little boy sitting next to him with his head lowered and crying silently. He used a stone spoon to take out the only piece of meat from his bowl and put it into the little boy's bowl. Then he said to the little boy earnestly: "Little Lim, although your father is dead, I am sad, but I cannot be resurrected. Eat the food quickly so that I can have the strength to work and support your sister! You two little guys are left in your family now. As the eldest son, the only man in your family, you must support the whole family!"
"Yeah!" Maybe I heard the old village chief's words, maybe after thinking that he had a sister to take care of, the boy named Lim wiped away his tears with his sleeve that was looking at the patch, and then nodded hard to the old village and responded: "I will take good care of my sister!"
After saying that, Lim seemed to have grown up suddenly, like the old village chief, he took two pieces of meat from his bowl into his sister's bowl next to him...
Seeing the satisfied smile of the little boy who grew up in an instant and the old village chief, Sui Yu couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Are these NPCs or humans? Why... why do they have such innocent emotions?"
To be honest, in reality, I was used to the indifference of human feelings. At this moment, Sui Yu felt a strong impact in his heart when he suddenly saw such simple and sincere emotions.
"Are you moved? It seems that after you grow up, you haven't experienced this feeling for a long time..." Sui Yu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. At this time, the villagers who focused on the old village chief and the old village chief themselves discovered Sui Yu's arrival.
Many adult villagers showed a look that made Sui Yu feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the old village chief was very enthusiastic about him: "Sir Warrior, have you eaten so soon? Is the dishes my daughter cooked are not to your taste? Do I want me to arrange for people to pick some wild vegetables in the woods and then arrange for people to go to nearby villages to get some seasonings?"
Seeing that the old village chief had to arrange the situation immediately as long as Sui Yu nodded, Sui Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm already full, and I've never eaten so much, so I don't have to bother everyone. It's getting late now, so I'd better leave to Bryce Town as soon as possible!"
When the old village chief heard that Sui Yu was leaving, he said to Sui Yu in a dilemma: "But the reward has not been collected yet. Although I know that Lord Warrior, you don't like our rewards, the rules cannot be broken!"
"No need!" Sui Yu really looked down on the rewards raised by these villagers, not to mention that if he collected this money, it might make the lives of these villagers worse. Sui Yu was really not interested in forcing others to a dead end for some irrelevant things.
In "Chaos World", although Sui Yu has always tried to treat the war heroes as real people, Sui Yu has always disdained ordinary NPCs (especially men).
If he was still in "Chaos World" at this time, Sui Yu would not have cared about so much, and it was natural to receive rewards for completing tasks.
However, after feeling the simple feelings of these villagers that could be said to be almost extinct in the real world, Sui Yu subconsciously regarded these NPCs as flesh and blood humans, and did not independently consider the future of these villagers.
When he saw that the old village chief seemed to be saying something, Sui Yu waved his hand decisively to stop the old village chief from talking further, and then ran quickly outside the village, leaving only a chic back for the old village chief.
Then Sui Yu ran back quickly...
"When you showed me the way before, did the direction of the sun you mentioned was calculated according to the morning sun or the afternoon?"
OK, Sui Yu, who suffered a loss before, has finally become much more careful this time.
"It's the sun in the morning." The old village chief replied while pointing his hand in a certain direction and said to Sui Yu: "That direction is! But Lord Warrior, I suggest you go along the path outside the village first. Although it is a bit far away, it is easier to walk on the road, and not only can you walk on the road, but you can also bypass the cemetery in our village. Although the life force in the woods is relatively strong and the ancestors lying inside are all the villagers who have no resentment when they die, there is basically no undead in the cemetery, but if you go too deep, it will still make people feel a little gloomy. Of course, with Lord Warrior's strength, even if there is a undead, it is just the fate of being killed by you. "
"Well! I understand!" Sui Yu didn't care about any cemetery or cemetery. You should know that his current main profession is the undead mage. Some undead may even scare whoever sees him!
So Sui Yu rushed out of the village and decisively rushed into the cemetery that was a little gloomy in the eyes of the villagers.
It is said to be a cemetery, but since several nearby villages seem to have buried dead villagers here, the area of this "cemetery" forest is relatively large. And as the old village chief introduced, when Sui Yu went deeper, he felt that the atmosphere around him was full of gloomy, and even Sui Yu, who was a necromancer, was running wildly and felt a little numb.
"What's going on with this feeling? And the surrounding environment is a bit too gloomy, right? Wait, it seems that it is because the game world is too real! Although the simulation degree of "Chaos World" is also very high, it is impossible to simulate this gloomy feeling! So even when facing undead creatures before, it gave people a feeling of watching a holographic video, but now you can truly feel this gloomy feeling from the bottom of your heart. And there seems to be some strange aura in the air that affects my judgment, and it seems that it makes me feel numb from the scalp because of this aura. However, this aura feels so familiar. Why is this?!"
Sui Yu, who was thinking about it, stopped and ran wildly, subconsciously stretched out his right hand palm toward the sky, and then a gust of cold wind seemed to appear around him, and the cold wind began to rotate around Sui Yu, and the center was Sui Yu's right hand palm!
As the wind gathered in the palm of his hand, a gray round air mass appeared in Sui Yu's hand. After the air mass was formed, it rotated at high speed in Sui Yu's palm in a clockwise direction.
"This is the power of death? Strange, although I know what this is, and instinctively know how to gather and mobilize them, these abilities are not skills, and I didn't seem to have such abilities in the past? Why did I suddenly use skills or abilities that I didn't know?!"
Sui Yu, who was used to using skills to activate his ability, was very unaware of the supernatural phenomenon that occurred in the palm of his hand at this time, but when he was used to things that he couldn't understand, he didn't think too much. Sui Yu instinctively dissipated the power of death in his hand and decided to continue his journey.
Then Sui Yu found out that he was lost again...
Because I spent time killing those evil people in the morning, and waiting for dinner and inquiries took a long time, I had to talk to the village chief for a while before leaving, and then I rushed in the woods and inexplicably used my ability that was not on the skill list. As a result, the sun has now risen above my head.
Yes, it's noon!
Moreover, because the sun was above the head and there was no compass, the coordinate system on the system interface was messy, so Sui Yu was very simply lost in the woods again.
Yesterday, since I could contact Avalon through the "message" magic, I didn't have to worry about getting lost at noon. But now I have lost the reference target and the surrounding woods do not have any prominent terrain, so Sui Yu finally made a difficult decision, that is, to walk around.
Then Sui Yu was very lucky and returned to the small village where he had just left not long ago...
This is such a sad story, so when the villagers showed a surprised expression when they saw Sui Yu appear, Sui Yu didn't know what to say.
At this time, the villagers gathered in the woods next to the small village, which was specially divided into cemeteries, and were holding funerals.
Although the slave hunters had restrained the killing, more than a dozen people died in the morning attacks.
When Sui Yu appeared, it happened that the villagers were giving the final farewell to the victims.
With the crying of the loss of father, mother, brother, sister and child, Sui Yu felt the scene filled with extremely strong sadness as soon as he came out.
Looking at the corpses in the row of simple coffins on the ground and the villagers crying beside each of the corpses, Sui Yu, who felt embarrassed because he was back for no reason, had an idea and said to the old village chief who seemed to be planning to ask Sui Yu why he returned: "I just forgot the most important thing!"
"It's Lord Warrior, have you finally decided to collect remuneration according to the regulations set by the Mercenary Guild?"
Hearing the old village chief’s inquiry, Sui Yu asked inexplicably: “Mercenary Union? What’s that thing?”
