Ghost Rider's Judgment

Chapter 243 Notice Board

"By the way, Chen! Don't show your magic in front of the villagers, otherwise they will capture you and burn you to death!" Gaston reminded kindly.

"Uh, you mean ordinary witches will be caught and burned to death by a few unarmed villagers? Why don't they use magic to defend themselves?" Chen Qi asked.

When a witch is in front of the villagers, their magic is equivalent to a gun. Even if they can't defeat dozens of people, they are enough to intimidate them. I don't believe that the villagers will really go up like a brainwashed army. rush.

"Don't you know? Witches have a fatal weakness, that is, they are afraid of iron. Iron tools can cause very serious harm to them. Aren't you afraid of iron tools?" Gaston asked.

Chen Qi shook his head and said, "Why should I be afraid of that kind of thing?"

But witches are afraid of iron?Why does this setting sound so familiar?
"That's not right! I've seen it with my own eyes that witches are afraid of iron, and His Majesty the King also explained it himself!" Gaston muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, the surrounding trees began to become fewer and fewer, and out of the jungle, a dilapidated village came into view.

"Here we are, this is our village. It's a little shabby, please forgive me!" Gaston said.

"It doesn't matter, just have a place to rest!" Chen Qi said.

"Hey, look, Gaston is back!" a villager suddenly shouted.

The surrounding villagers noticed and greeted Gaston one after another, especially the girls in the village.

"It seems you are quite popular!" Chen Qi said with a smile.

Gaston shook his head and said: "This village was once recruited by the king, and I was one of them, but I was the only one who came back alive, and I had meritorious service, so everyone in the village regarded me as a hero. In addition, I Occasionally I catch some big game when I go hunting, and in this case I usually share the food with my neighbors.”

Chen Qi looked around and asked, "Is there a famine here now?"

"Yes, the heavy snow has been going on for a long time. I have never seen it snow for so long. Many people say it is the curse of the prince!" Gaston said.

"Prince's curse?" Chen Qi asked doubtfully.

Gaston pointed to the distance and said: "There is a castle on the other side of the jungle. There is a prince living there. It is said that he was cruel before and his hands were stained with blood, so he was cursed. But these villagers are all Innocent, why should they atone for the prince’s actions?”

Speaking of that castle, Gaston's eyes flashed with pain, but he quickly covered it up.

Chen Qi couldn't help but look in the direction Gaston pointed, with a trace of greed reflected in his deep eyes.

A sinful prince?You should pay a visit when you have time.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly became lively, and many people gathered around the sign.

At this moment, standing around the notice board were two people dressed luxuriously but dressed as servants. They were currently pasting a notice on it.

"Is the castle looking for servants again?"

"Didn't they just recruit someone a few days ago?"

"I don't know, but I wasn't selected last time, so I have to work hard this time!"

“I have bread to eat every day, at least I don’t have to go hungry here!”

The villagers were talking one after another, and Chen Qize asked Gaston on the side: "What is that?"

Gaston said: "It's the castle I was talking about recently. They have been recruiting servants recently. They promised that if they work in the castle, they will have bread to eat. This is simply a waste for people who don't even have enough to eat here. Luxury."

Chen Qi asked again based on what the people had discussed before: "They said they had recruited servants once before, and now they are here again?"

"Yes, they are always looking for servants recently!" Gaston nodded.

"It's not normal. Don't you think that for things like this, you usually do it all at once?" Chen Qi asked: "Besides, you don't seem to be interested in this kind of thing?"

"No interest at all. Nothing they do has anything to do with me, and I don't want to have anything to do with that damn castle!" Gaston said coldly, and then walked towards his cabin.

Chen Qi did not continue to ask. Gaston obviously did not want to discuss this topic.

Chen Qi came to Gaston's house. It was a dilapidated house, but compared with the houses of other villagers that Chen Qi passed by, Gaston's house was obviously larger and more spacious.

There is an elderly man in Gaston's family who needs his care. His father can no longer get out of bed and has some dementia. When Gaston came home, the first thing his father said to him was: "You are who?"

Therefore, Gaston basically supported this family by himself, and he did not seem to have the idea of ​​marrying a wife and having children.

Gaston prepared some bread and fish soup for Chen Qi. The bread was dry and hard black bread, and the fish soup had not been prepared in any way, and it smelled extremely fishy, ​​but this was already the best food he could come up with. .

But Chen Qi didn't mean to dislike it. After saying thank you, he seemed to eat. In fact, with the energy storage in Chen Qi's body, he could go without eating for several days, but he did this out of respect for Gaston. , after all, this was carefully prepared by the other party.

After that, Chen Qi stayed at Gaston's house for another night and got up early the next day. Perhaps because the bed at Gaston's house was too hard, Chen Qi was not used to sleeping, so he got up early.

Most of the villagers here got up early to work like Chen Qi. Chen Qi felt that this village seemed to be like a jungle, with no life.

Bored, Chen Qi came to yesterday's notice board again.At this time, there were not many people at the notice board, and Chen Qi found the notice recruiting servants yesterday.

The content above was similar to what Gaston said, except that the last signature caught Chen Qi's attention. The name of the person who wrote this notice was Belle.

It sounds like a girl's name, but being able to write such notices usually has a high status in the castle.

But before he could think about it, another notice caught Chen Qi's attention.

The caption read: "Bell-ringing monster stole my baby."

The content inside is probably that the owner who wrote this notice, his child was kidnapped by a monster. The specific time and place are not described, but the appearance of the monster is clearly written.

The monster's body was very deformed, its body and limbs were like a stick, its face was scary, and it would make strange bell sounds from time to time.

"Interesting~!" Chen Qi said as he looked at the notice, then looked at the signature and prepared to talk to the owner of the notice.
