Versatile Mage: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 48 Anger

On the threshing floor in the village, there were more than a dozen people sitting scattered.

Lan Jiang, the hunter captain who was called back by Su Zhe last night, was still scared, "Thank you so much, little brother, otherwise we would all have died there."

The team of hunters who went out with them last night all fled back. Most of the people in the team were missing, and some were even wiped out.

All of them were in a daze, and would even hide in fear when seeing strangers. It was obvious that they had suffered a great mental shock.

Su Zhe said: "You're welcome, Captain Lan. It's just that everyone has been here for a long time. Why are there so many casualties? It seems like they were caught off guard."

Lan Jiang sighed, "I have never heard of your voice mage before. I guess you just came here not long ago, right?"

Su Zhe nodded, and Lan Jiang continued: "Savage monsters like Shanren often appear at the connection between the outer and inner areas of Shennongjia. They rarely appear in places as far away as us. I think these teams were also attacked. The mountain man must have been caught off guard by the sudden arrival."

Su Zhe looked at the mountains and forests, "Captain Lan, what are your plans next?"

Lan Jiang sighed, "There are mountain man activities of unknown scale outside Shennongjia. We'd better go back and report it to the Hunter Alliance."

Cruel creatures like mountain men cause too much harm to humans. They are cruel and bloody. The most important thing is that they have wisdom that other monsters do not have. They are too difficult to deal with.

Su Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Captain Lan, you go back first. I'll stay here because I have something else to do."

Lan Jiang was a little helpless, "Brother, don't think about your mission. The main thing now is to save your life. You should think about it carefully. Let's leave first."

Su Zhe watched Lan Jiang and others return and walked straight to the old woman's house.

"Po~po~"

Su Zhe shouted in a long voice. The old woman heard the sound and walked out of the house, "What's wrong, young man?"

"It's like this, mother-in-law, I found a demon wandering around the village yesterday. This kind of demon is very dangerous. Why don't you follow me to the city first? I can pay for your placement."

The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were clearly visible, "Young man, with these seven signs in front of my house, even if any monster comes, it will have to step forward before it can leave."

"Besides, I'm old. It doesn't matter what happens. If it's dangerous, just go back quickly."

The old woman clapped her hands again and shook off the dust on her hands, "And our place is blessed by heroic souls. No demon has ever dared to enter our village."

Su Zhe looked at the big yellow dog squatting at the old woman's feet. The big yellow dog stared at the shadow at Su Zhe's feet thoughtfully.

When Su Zhe saw the big yellow dog with its eyelids drooping and not looking at him, he thought it was sleepy again, so he didn't think much about it and continued to persuade the old woman.

……evening

Su Zhe and the old woman set up a table in the yard to eat. Looking at the young Su Zhe, a trace of reminiscence appeared in the old woman's eyes.

"My little grandson was about the same age as you when he died."

Su Zhe grabbed the rice with his hands and put down his chopsticks. "Mother-in-law, can you tell me the story of these heroes?"

The old woman nodded with a smile, "My old man is a forest ranger mage, and his strength is not bad. It's a pity that he was given away by the mountain man in the forest... Sigh."

Su Zhe lowered his eyes, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

The old woman opened her chatterbox and kept talking.

"My eldest son, although he is young, is more powerful than his father!" The old woman's tone was very proud, but there was uncontrollable grief in her eyes. "He also became a ranger mage and said he wanted to avenge his father. , and ended up dying in the hands of the mountain man."

"The second son is a teacher, so he wanted to spread the story about his brother and his father to warn the world that they must be careful of monsters. However, the boy still couldn't let go. He sneaked into the mountains alone and participated in the government's cleanup. Activities and didn’t make it out alive.”

The old woman covered her face in a low voice and sobbed, "I could tell at that time that something was wrong with him in those days, but I couldn't persuade him!"

Su Zhe's eyes were a little red, and he took a deep breath, "Mother-in-law, don't be too sad, this..."

Su Zhe suddenly didn't know what to say. Any words became pale at this moment. The sorrow of Brother Liang's family was already extremely great, but the old man who stayed around the mountains and forests was suffering seven times the pain.

The old woman seemed to have recovered, and then spoke, "My four grandsons, all military mages, died on the battlefield one after another."

"I am an old woman, but I have issued death certificates for others seven times, ugh."

The old woman became silent, tears welling up in her cloudy eyes.

The big yellow dog lying at his feet eating leftovers also raised his head and listened to these stories carefully.

Su Zhe looked at the old woman's house. The dilapidated and dirty house was everyone's first impression when they saw it, with weathered walls and a floor made of compacted loess.

"Mother-in-law, has the government paid you a pension?"

The old woman raised her head and said, "Everyone in the village is getting crazy."

In Zhonglie Village, there are truly loyal martyrs from generation to generation. Every house has a glorious home hanging in front of its door. Some have left traces with time, and some are still brand new.

In a daze, Su Zhe suddenly understood why Mo Fan couldn't control this emotion. When this matter really happened to him, Su Zhe just wanted to tear off the head of the person most responsible for this matter.

"Mother-in-law, which department gave you the money?"

The old woman grinned, "It seems, I heard others say, what is it called... I forgot."

Su Zhe took a deep breath. He probably knew it without the old lady telling her.

"Mother-in-law, doesn't anyone in your village think something is wrong? Hasn't anyone looked for it?"

The old woman waved her hands indifferently, "Our family is not because of money."

"It seems that someone went there but didn't come back. He sent a message to the people he knew saying that he would never come back, and then he couldn't be contacted. I guess that young man went to enjoy his life somewhere?"

Su Zhe felt a chill rising from his tailbone, and a terrible thought came to him. Someone had deducted the pension, and the person who sent the theory was killed by them.

A horse-riding, unscrupulous bitch, a village's old, weak, women and children, even if they don't give proper care, they will deduct their pensions and probably kill those who go to argue.

Su Zhe looked at the big yellow dog at the old woman's feet and said softly: "Do you understand this kind of thing?"

The old woman laughed and said, "What does Rhubarb know? Just stay with me and stay well."

Dahuang lowered his tail, "Woof!"

In an instant, Su Zhe seemed to understand what Dahuang meant. He was just a dog, a dog.
