Chapter 23
From Cynthia and the others, I learned about the general strength of the human world. Generally speaking, second-level strength plus some military merits can be granted as a knight. Although there is only a salary and no fiefdom, it is still a military noble in name and can enjoy some privileges.

For small military nobles with fiefdoms, the patriarchs are generally at the third rank, and the elite among adventurers is also at this rank.

It is usually difficult to see people above the fourth level. In the current human world, there are not many people at this level.

It is indeed possible to have a fourth-order under the age of 20, but I am afraid that you will not be able to find two or three in Oran. If the person in front of you is one of them, Tang Zhao feels doubtful.

The werewolves and the rest of the wild wolves were nowhere to be found, and the group suspected that the orcs were responsible for it. Most of them had been destroyed.

Some medicine bottles were found from the orcs. After being identified by Guinivea, the types are complete, ranging from wound medicine to strong corrosive liquids, and many of the corrosive liquids have been used up.

The werewolves were indeed powerful against hunters and traveling merchants, but they were no match for a dozen well-trained elite orc soldiers.

"What are we going to do now? Hunt down those orcs?" Cynthia asked, she was a little worried about her own race now, maybe they would meet those orcs on a narrow road.

Gui Nivea denied: "This is not what we should do. I don't know how many enemies are still there. Naturally, the Griffin Riders and infantry regiments will come later. Let's go back to the town now and help the people in the town organize defenses. You handle the carriage business."

As a half-elf, her senses are beyond the sensitivity of ordinary people, but she didn't notice the existence of the orcs around her at all just now, and the sense of smell in Tang Zhao also failed and she didn't smell the smell. Either there was a stronger spellcaster behind her, or these orcs had accepted With strict special training, it can hide itself very well in the forest.

Neither is good news, and Guinivea can't afford to risk it.

She helped Tang Zhao remove the arrow embedded in his body, and treated the wound with a simple healing technique, and the group left immediately.

Tina didn't say much the whole time, but Tang Zhao still acquiesced that she had learned about the conversation between him and Cynthia.
-
As the name suggests, Cangguan Town is a small town located on the edge of the Cangguan Forest. It was formed by the gathering of hunters and loggers. They are all rough people. It is conceivable that they will not give the town any poetic name.

The town is not big, with hundreds of thousands of people, and the current situation in the town is also somewhat chaotic.

Before the three of Francois left, they informed the sheriff who entrusted them with the situation, and then rushed to report the matter to the capital, and left in a hurry, leaving the sheriff alone in a state of anxiety.

They couldn't even deal with werewolves, let alone entire teams of elite orc soldiers.

The alarm bell was sounded in the town. The magistrate was afraid of complicating the matter, so he didn't dare to say what happened. He just asked everyone to gather in the square. Even so, the residents of the town were inevitably a little suspicious.

But everything is fine so far, and it is still within the controllable range. After all, no orc soldiers have rushed out of the dense forest yet.

The magistrate also knew Tina and Guinivea, and knew that their identities were unusual, and Guinivea was a mysterious half-elf in the human world, so he reluctantly agreed to let Tang Zhao follow into the town.

As for Cynthia, she directly chose to hide herself and sit on Tang Zhao's back, so ordinary humans would not be able to find her.

The magistrate followed closely behind the two, and Tang Zhao also showed cooperation. There was no scale explosion or neighing, and it was quiet. Most of the residents in the town were living in the woods, and they understood the body language of some wild animals, so the reaction was not special. Great, it's just a lot of discussion.

This is Tang Zhao's first contact with settlements in the human world, so he is more curious about everything around him.

It was similar to the medieval town in his impression, mainly low-rise buildings of wood and stone structure, a little messy but acceptable, most of the residents wore clothes made of linen, and seemed to be in an average economic situation.

The sheriff led a group of people to the square in the center of the town. This is usually a market for trading leather and wood, but at this time, most of the people in the town gathered here. They all stared at the sheriff, hoping to say something from him. reasonable explanation.

Tina said at the right time: "Leave this to me, otherwise it may be more difficult for you."

The sheriff obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Then thank you very much."

After speaking, he stepped aside and asked Tina to climb onto the high platform in front of him.

This is not an important military fortress or commercial hub, and there are very few things that happen in normal times, which makes him at a loss who is used to ordinary life.

Tina stepped onto the temporary high platform, and a blue light rose in her hand, and a wordless sense of oppression appeared in everyone's heart.

The pressure is not particularly high, but it can calm everyone down and look at Tina herself with bated breath.

Cynthia lowered her voice into Tang Zhao's ears: "No, mind manipulation and concentration can't have such a wide range of effects. I don't know what kind of spell she is using. Could it be a self-created spell passed down by the family? ?”

Regarding this, Tang Zhao, who had survived in the forest for a while, had some thoughts.

[This feeling is a bit like the oppressive feeling of facing a high-ranking predator. When you look deeper, those people are not so much appeased as they are frightened]

Tina's voice is not loud, but it is very penetrating, and now that the square is almost completely quiet, her voice can be clearly heard by everyone present.

"Listen to me, everyone, don't panic, everyone is called just to prevent people from entering the forest, just in case"

Using as light a tone as possible, he began to explain the current situation to everyone.
-
The speaking skills are quite satisfactory, just explaining everything clearly, but maybe because the effect of the blue light is so good, no panic broke out in the crowd, and they accepted the facts calmly.

"Everyone, please rest assured that I will stay by your side until the Vulture Rider arrives. Even if they really rush out of the forest to attack, I am confident that I can suppress them and your safety will not be threatened."

Coaxing and intimidating, Tina calmed down the townspeople and let them stay at the center of the square and wait for the news.
