Versatile Mage: Devour the Awakening Stone at the beginning

Chapter 25 Village Chief
Tang Yue remembered a village she came to when she participated in a previous mission. That village was very similar to this one, except that the villagers in that village left special marks on their foreheads instead of hanging candles.

There was a black-clothed priest and three gray-clothed believers in that village. Under their brainwashing actions, the whole village began to believe in the so-called evil gods and sacrificed with blood every day.

Naturally, Tangyue would not believe that these villagers believed in the crooked ways of the Black Vatican. As expected, after killing the priest in black, many villagers came to their senses.

Yes, they were bewitched.

Once the owner died, the Gu insects would naturally not be able to survive, and these villagers recovered.

These villagers were unwilling to believe in evil gods. Naturally, the priest in black would not give up the opportunity to gather so many believers, so he planted Gu worms on them.

Of course, there are also villagers who willingly believe in evil gods in order to become peer-to-peer mages. Some of them kidnap innocent villagers and sacrifice them to black-clothed priests, and some go to other villages to kill people and steal blood to sacrifice to evil gods. way of the demon.

Generally speaking, it is a rare occurrence for a remote village to have two or three mages. As long as they can become mages, not to mention being able to enjoy privileges in their own village, even people from other nearby villages will respect these mages.

In order to gain a higher status, some people end up on the road of no return
Thinking of this, Tangyue hated the Black Vatican even more. If it wasn't for their arrival, how could so many innocent people suffer, and how could some people go astray because of their desire for status.

……

Nanshan Village is backed by a hill. There is a relatively sturdy wooden bridge over the long river at the entrance of the village. However, the water in the river is not as clear and transparent as Yang Yun imagined.

When Yang Yun walked to the bridge, he smelled a stench, which came from the river. When he saw the turbid river water, Yang Yun suddenly felt an urge to vomit.

There is all kinds of garbage in the river, and even some unsightly things are floating on the water.

Even Tang Yue, who had seen many big scenes, frowned at this moment. It was indeed the first time Tang Yue had seen such a dirty river.

Of course, this is also because Tang Yue has too little experience. If the older generation of great mages were allowed to come over, I am afraid they would not even frown. After all, most of them often deal with monsters in the wild and have never seen anything. Pass.

Young mages like Tang Yue who have been living in the Judgment Council, occasionally went out to do tasks with their elders, and then came to teach in Bo City naturally did not have that sense of resistance to the harsh environment.

Living in Bo City for three years this time is also a transition period for Tang Yue. After returning this time, Tang Yue will have to do the tasks alone. Of course, she can also find people to help, but the elders of the Trial Council will not help anymore. She did.

But Tangyue was not a pampered woman after all, her brows relaxed after a short period of discomfort, and she followed Yang Yun with a normal expression.

Tang Yue handed over all the communication with people this time to Yang Yun. Firstly, it was to test our trainee judges. Secondly, she didn’t want to use her brain. She had to think when talking to people. Since Yang Yun was here Next to you, you have to be lazy.

Walking to the gate of Nanshan Village, the villagers walking inside naturally noticed the two of them.

In a house at the entrance of the village, an elderly man walked out of the house on crutches and limped toward the two of them.

"Old man, please slow down." Yang Yun walked forward a few steps while speaking, but did not get too close.

Just kidding, the people in this village are so weird, what if this old man suddenly stabs me?

"I am the village head here, what are you two doing here?" The old man's wrinkled face showed a hint of vigilance.

"Old man, my girlfriend and I were traveling and heard that Nanshan Village has a particularly beautiful scenery, so we came over to take a look." Yang Yun said with a friendly smile.

Yang Yun's good looks are not bad, and coupled with his harmless smile, it is easy for people to like him.

Although strength is paramount in this world, if you look good enough, you can definitely leave a good first impression on the opponent.

Although Yang Yun said this for the fourth time, Tang Yue still felt blushing because of the word "girlfriend". Tang Yue had countless suitors, but she had never been in love. Yang Yun was the first Someone who calls her his girlfriend.

"That's it, but our village doesn't have any scenery. If you really want to see it, follow me and I'll show you around." The old man's complexion improved a bit, and he turned his head and walked into the village leaning on a cane.

Originally, Yang Yun looked at the other party's face at first, and he thought he had to grind his mouth for a while, but the old man actually agreed directly, which was unexpected to Yang Yun.

This village is obviously very suspicious, but the old man actually allowed them to enter directly. Is there really no problem in the village?

"Old man, why do the villagers hang candles around their waists? Is it the custom of your village?" Yang Yun followed the village chief and asked his question.

There is no need to be shy about asking about this kind of thing. Normal tourists will probably ask questions when they see villagers hanging candles. Being secretive will have a bad effect.

Tang Yue walked beside her, with a hint of curiosity on her pretty face. She wanted to know how the village chief would answer.

Before he spoke again, a look of admiration appeared on the village chief's face, and he said: "Our priest gave this to us two days ago. Let us light the candles on our bodies at four o'clock in the afternoon three days later, saying that we can let him go." We are protected from disaster.”

Three days later?Yang Yun remembered this time. If nothing unexpected happened, the Black Vatican's violent fountain would fall from the sky in three days.

As for the priest mentioned by the village chief, Yang Yun felt that he was probably from the Black Church.

Still, light the candles...

This candle did make Yang Yun feel a little strange. Why did the villagers light the candle when they started taking action?Is there something special about this candle?

"Disaster?" Yang Yun deliberately pretended to be confused.

Seeing the other party's performance, the village head immediately became proud. Fortunately, they have a priest. You see, these tourists don't even know that the disaster is coming.

The village chief coughed lightly, and said, "Our lord priest knows everything. According to him, Bo City is about to face a huge disaster, and Bo City will turn into hell in this disaster."

Yang Yun chuckled, pretending to be in disbelief and said, "How could such a terrible disaster happen, old man, don't be fooled."
