Dragon of the Root

Chapter 45: Carne Village

"What is it, Albedo?" Wu Ming asked.

Wu Ming looked at Albedo, who was wearing a black full-body armor.

"No Master Vero, you are the Supreme One. These low-level humans are not worthy of your protection. Please allow me to execute them."

With that, Albedo raised the black ax in her hand.

"Wait a moment, Albedo."

He sighed helplessly.

"They deserve my protection. I will talk about it after the enemy is subdued."

There was a moment of silence, and Albedo put down her ax.

"Yes, Master Vero."

The sisters looked at the master and servant in front of them, as if they had not reacted, and did not speak.

"Humbaba."

*Wooo----!*

Following Wu Ming orders, Humbaba behind him started moving towards the village.

As soon as the screen was turned, the knights in armor were still massacring the villagers.

Exclamations, fears, begging for mercy, wild laughter, endless sounds.

"What--!"

Suddenly, not knowing which knight discovered something, shouted.

"What happened!" shouted a knight who was supposed to be the squad leader and not wearing a mask on his helmet.

"This what is this!"

"Don't come!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"

Seeing a large number of thick vines growing from a knight feet, enveloping one soldier after another.

The knights shouted and began to pray to the gods.

"God! Please help me!"

"My God!"

"My God!"

After that, the knights entangled in these vines fell silent.

Only the large tree stumps collected by the vines remained.

"What is this!" The squad leader was still sane and started issuing orders.

"Prepare to retreat! Send a signal for the horses and archers to come."

However, it was too late.

The huge vines accelerated the growth rate, and soon, the knight legs were entangled.

"Fast! Come and save me!" The man who was not wearing a mask like the captain shouted from the side.

"I'm not the one who deserves to die here! Fast! Save me! No matter what, your health or everything is fine, save me!"

Then the captain couldn't believe the man hysterical screams.

"Captain Bellus..." he said slightly surprised.

Suddenly, a soft voice came.

*Wooo----!*

A huge green creature resembling a bear and a deer walked slowly step by step.

"What is that!" The sane team leader said in surprise.

Seeing the green creature stomping, and the vines instantly wrapped around the wailing knight, and in an instant, there was only a fairly sane squad leader left.

The sword in the team leader hand fell to the ground, he completely gave up, and the vine had wrapped his lower body.

"Relax, the wrapped soldiers are still alive."

The team leader raised his head in surprise and saw a young man coming from a distance.

"In any case, I still need to get information from you." Wu Ming waved his hand, and the vine began to slowly wrap around the knight upper body.

"Reallythank you for not killingbut I'm sure my friend can't do anything..."

The vine completely enveloped the warrior.

"You are also like a knight," Wu Ming said lightly.

The remaining villagers had fallen into a deathly silence.

For a while, under the village head arrangement, the villagers temporarily rested in undamaged houses.

But the village chief was comforting Wu Ming.

At the village head house, Wu Ming took the simple water cup provided by the village head, took a sip, and listened to the village head introduction about the village.

"Carne Village?"

"Yeah, Carne Village location isn't that great. It just so happens to be among the three countries." said the village head sadly.

After a few questions, Wu Ming lied that he was a magic caster training in the deep mountains. He originally wanted to disguise himself as a Magus, but it seems that everyone who wields magic abilities in this world is called a magic caster. So he used magic to cast a spell.

Wu Ming took the information as a reward to dispel the village chief suspicions. After all, in their village where something went wrong, it was very difficult for people to feel comfortable.

According to the village head, the village of Carne belongs to the Re-Estize Kingdom, located in the southeast corner of the kingdom. The Re-Estize Kingdom bordered the Baharuth Empire stretching through the north-south mountains and the Slane Theocracy was at the corner.

According to the map provided by the village chief, the Re-Estize Kingdom was in the northwest corner, the Baharuth Empire was in the northeast, and the Slane Theocracy was in the south of the two countries, and Carne village was just between the three countries.

The Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire are at odds, and there will be wars throughout the year, and the place of war is the plains area near the border town of E-Rantel of the Re-Estize Kingdom.

According to the village head, the badge of the knight who slaughtered the villagers was the badge of the Baharuth Empire.

But Wu Ming didn't think it was that simple. After all, the village chief also said that the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire were at war all year round, and the Baharuth Empire was massacring the villages on the Re-Estize Kingdom borders with no benefit whatsoever. Moreover, these knights prayed to God before being wrapped in vines.

"Looks like I'm caught in a conspiracy again."

After asking the village head the necessary information, Wu Ming greeted the village head and went out.

"Master Vero." Albedo had guarded the door. As for Humbaba, Wu Ming asked him to go around to see if there were any other enemies. After all, the team leader only said that he would send a signal.

"The intelligence is almost complete. In short, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is temporarily safe in this world."

"Yeah, how about dealing with an inferior being captured alive by Humbaba?"

Wu Ming thought for a while, then said.

"Summon someone in Nazarick with special skills to bring all these knights to Nazarick. Humbaba just told me that there are still some knights nearby, who have been captured by Humbaba, and those knights have also been transferred to Nazarick, go and get more information from their mouths."

"Yes, Mister Vero, I will contact Demiurge now." Albedo placed her hand on her temple near her ear, and began to contact Demiurge.

"Anyway, remember not to kill first, and do a good anti-reconnaissance job. After all, we don't know if these people have tracking magic or something."

"Very well, Master Vero."

After speaking, Wu Ming walked away and started to stroll around the village.

As he walked, Wu Ming heard many cries.

Wu Ming glanced at the family members of the villagers who died, among them was the sister he saved. They wept bitterly over the bodies of their loved ones.

"Oh~ I'm used to the dead, but in the end, I still feel sad with tears."

No matter whether it was in Connacht or Camelot, Wu Ming was used to seeing all kinds of death, as a result he still felt melancholy about these things.

It's not sad, but can't understand it.

"I remember your name Enri, right?"

Wu Ming crouched halfway in front of the elder sister.

"Yes yes, my lord." The girl named Enri answered while crying.

"Don't cry, I am also a strong magic caster, I have a way to revive the person you love."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who had lost their loved ones knelt on the ground pleading for Wu Ming.

"I beg Master Vero to save my son."

"Master Vero, please save my sister."

...

"Okay, wake up, move the corpses of the villagers out into the open."

After hearing this, the villagers started to act.

Albedo, who had finished talking to Demiurge, came over and asked Wu Ming cluelessly.

"NoMaster Vero, would you like to use a rare awakening item to resurrect this lowly insect."

After hearing these words, Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, Albedo, even though I'm not human, I really like humans, and I'll use the resurrection magic I've learned, and won't use resurrection items."

(Besides, I don't have any resurrection items. After I came to Nazarick, I completely forgot where the treasure room was...)

"But, Master Vero"

"Alright, Albedo." Wu Ming interrupted Albedo words.

"If I die, you will definitely try your best to resurrect me, just like when these villagers begged me, think about ity."

After that, Albedo did not speak again.
