"More than thirty people died?"

Gray's face did not change slightly when he heard it nearby.

Villages in the world are generally small. Generally, there are only a few hundred people in villages, and the largest is only one or two thousand. Smaller villages may even have only one or two hundred people.

More than 30 people died in a village in a short time. Even in this world where people often die because of various accidents, it has been a lot of casualties.

"It's really not normal to attack villagers continuously from the forest. Where is Yangjiao village?"

Asked Viscount Fergus, looking indifferent.

Viscount Fergus has a total area of 3000 square kilometers. There are many villages in the territory. Naturally, he can't remember what Yangjiao village is.

Moreover, he did not attach great importance to the life and death of civilians, which was a common problem of nobles, which could be seen from the calm look on Viscount Fergus's face.

If it had not been for fear that too many deaths would affect the cultivation of the land, viscount Fergus might have ignored it.

Civilians also knew the noble character, so when there were casualties, they did not immediately inform Viscount Fergus. Until there were more casualties and panic, the village head hardened his head to ask Viscount Fergus for help.

"Lord Hui, Yangjiao village is next to the red leaf forest."

The old man said quickly.

"Red leaf forest?"

Gray's face moved slightly. He probably knew where Yangjiao village was.

When looking up the map of the whole territory of the purple moon Kingdom this morning, I looked up the location of viscount Fergus and saw the name "red leaf forest" at that time.

It is a widely spread forest, not only in the territory of the Marquis of Sidney, but also in other Marquis territories. Among them, the red leaf forest under Viscount Fergus should be a little corner of the red leaf forest, and Yangjiao village should be in this corner.

"All the wild animals come out of the red leaf forest?"

Viscount Fergus frowned slightly.

He naturally knew about the Chiye forest in his territory, and judged the general location of Yangjiao village from the Chiye forest, which was also the reason for his frown.

It's just an ordinary forest. After the Fergus family took over the territory, they directly cleared the forest and killed all the large beasts.

The red leaf forest is different. With the vast red leaf forest, there must be many powerful blood beasts, many of which, even he is certainly not an opponent.

"Yes, yes."

The old man looked nervous.

"Is there anything else that happens except that beasts often leave the forest?"

Continued Viscount Fergus.

"No, no more."

The old man thought carefully and added.

"Oh, by the way, recently, I can often hear the roar of wild animals in the forest."

"Well, I already know the details. You stay in the castle first and lead us tomorrow morning."

Viscount Fergus said after a little consideration.

"Thank you, viscount, thank you, viscount!"

The old man quickly plopped and fell to his knees again. He didn't stand up and left with gratitude until a servant urged him to follow him.

Lord Linde stayed when the old man left. Lord Fergus motioned to the other party to sit in the empty seat and asked.

"What do you think is the reason why these beasts often riot?"

"I think it may be blood beasts. The beasts that attacked the village may be driven by powerful blood beasts who suddenly came here, desperate, and lack of food. That's why they attacked the village."

Lord Linde touched his goatee and said his guess.

"Just as I thought, and I think there is probably only one blood beast."

Said Viscount Fergus, nodding.

"Blood beasts have a strong sense of territory and generally act alone. Unless they are social blood beasts, they will fight with each other until one of them dies or escapes."

"What the Viscount said is!"

Lord Linde thought for a moment, and felt that Lord Fergus's guess was indeed very reasonable.

"Bernal, what do you think?"

Viscount Fergus looked at gray again and asked casually.

Gray, Bernal and Ellis look at me and I look at you. They have never seen blood beasts. Their understanding of blood beasts is really limited and they can't put forward any insightful ideas at all.

But Caroline's delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and her red lips spit out.

"I think this blood beast was probably driven here by other blood beasts."

"Failed to compete for territory and was driven over?"

At Caroline's words, viscount Fergus could not help showing approval.

"It's very possible, even injured in the struggle, otherwise, they won't come to the forest boundary."

Inspired by Caroline's words, gray suddenly said.

"It could also be a pregnant female."

"Pregnant female?"

Viscount Fergus looked suspiciously at gray.

"Yes."

Gray nodded.

"I read in a book in the library that when a female animal is pregnant, her strength will decline. She will find some relatively safe places to give birth. Someone has met a pregnant blood animal on the edge of the forest."

"It's really possible. I've read that book, too."

Caroline obviously remembered, answered.

"How can I know after tomorrow's exploration? In this way, you haven't seen the blood beast. The four of you will go with me tomorrow."

Viscount Fergus thought and decided.

A blood beast driven to the edge of the forest or pregnant by other blood beasts should not have too strong combat power. With his strength, there should be no problem to protect the safety of the four people.

Of course, he thinks it's a blood beast driven to the edge of the forest by other blood beasts. Pregnant blood beasts may exist, but they should not be big. If pregnant blood beasts are so easy to meet, there will not be so few families with blood beasts in the kingdom.

"Yes."

Among Gray's four voices, anxiety and excitement coexist.

I was worried because I knew that the strength of blood beasts was very strong. As long as they were adults, they could basically reach the strength of fierce blood soldiers.

They are excited because they have never seen a blood beast, and they are likely to see it next, so they are excited.

The next morning, gray and his party left the castle and headed for Yangjiao village under the guidance of the old man.

Along with them, there were more than 30 cavalry. Lord Linde did not follow, but was left in the castle to guard the castle.

Dada, dada!

More than 30 people in the party rode on the road. Even the old man from Yangjiao village was driven by a cavalry.

Gray, wearing a gray war suit, rode on his dark horse, followed the team and looked around with great interest.

A bush and an unknown red leaf tree on the roadside can attract his attention because of the arrival of autumn and the withered and yellow weeds.

Obviously, he was stuffy in the castle.

On his left, Caroline was wearing a purple women's war suit, showing her good figure, and her eyes often looked at the surrounding scenery, but different from Gray's curiosity, she appreciated it more.

On Caroline's left are Bernal and Ellis. They are both wearing white war clothes. They don't pay too much attention to the scenery on the road. Obviously, they have been used to it for a long time.

Different from gray, who is always facing assassination, they are not watched by other Viscount families and have too many opportunities to leave the castle for leisure.

After almost two hours, a small village appeared in front of everyone.

This is a very small village. There are only dozens of houses in the whole village.

Most of these houses are simple houses nailed with wood. They are only practical and do not pay too much attention to beauty, which makes them look strange and ugly.

Only a few two houses were built of stone. Gray and others were introduced to one of the stone houses, because the stone house was the home of the old man who led them.

Although the old man is submissive in front of them and kneels on his knees, he is also a "powerful and powerful" figure in this village.

After all, as the head of a village, he still has a lot of power, especially in a world where laws are not popularized. Many times, the head of a village is a speaker.

In the stone house hall, five people, including gray and Viscount Fergus, sat at a round table, drinking tea and taking a rest.

Tea sets and tea are brought from the castle. The castle soldiers boil water and make tea all the way.

On the one hand, it is because most nobles have a habit of cleanliness and will never use civilian bowls.

On the other hand, the aristocratic world is always full of conspiracy. It is uncertain that there are insiders in other territories among the villagers. If you poison them, you will have a lot of fun.

Next to the five people, the village head and his family, an old woman, a middle-aged couple, and a man and a woman, two teenagers, stood rigidly and carefully accompanied.

"What do you do?"

Just then, there was a sound outside the house. Listening to the sound, it should be that some villagers were stopped by the cavalry protected outside the house.

"Village head, village head."

This is an anxious man's voice, with a strong local voice, which is slightly different from the language commonly used by the nobility, but it can barely be understood.

"Let him in."

Vicomte Fergus ordered. Soon after, a middle-aged man with messy hair was led in by the cavalry. When he saw the old village head standing next to him, he shouted anxiously.

"Village head, village head, another man died. Last night, another beast ran out of the red leaf forest and killed two children."
