Gate of the Cross

Chapter 71 Worry

The home of the village head of Alute Village.

Xinjie and Nanali sat and listened to the ins and outs of what happened, and then they knew why everything here could remain the same and not be destroyed.

Three days ago, the village's guard force was completely destroyed. Just as the news from the French city, the 300 soldiers were all killed under the commander Andrew. Along with them were the adventurer warriors of various professions sent by France to assist in defense.

Originally, the villagers were ready to be slaughtered, but they didn't expect that the monsters did not do anything to disturb the people after rushing into the village. Instead, the mysterious man who commanded them behind the scenes entered the village and did nothing strange to the teleport stone of the village head's house. .

"This is the reason why all the transmission stones in Flange City have failed. What does that person look like?" Nanali couldn't help asking when she heard this.

"Mr. Xinjie, this is..." Because as soon as he arrived at the village, the village head sent someone to take Xinjie and Nanali to his home, so Xinjie did not have time to introduce Nanali.

"Nanaly, my friend, archer." Xinjie briefly introduced.

Nanali nodded and said, "I know Li Jia, the priest of the village, and he can prove my identity."

Li Jia, the priest, is a skill tutor who teaches the missionary's breathless recovery. Nanali once accompanied the snow dragon soul to Arute Village to learn skills from him, so she knew him.

"That's necessary, Mr. Xinjie's friends... are naturally trustworthy." The village head said.

As soon as Nanali heard this, she couldn't help looking at Xinjie. She wanted to see the appearance of the village head and didn't know Xinjie before. She didn't know what Xinjie had done to make the village head trust him so much?

The village head sighed and then said, "The man looks young and has short black hair. If he only looks at his appearance, he is as handsome as Mr. Xinjie."

Xinjie was expressionless when he heard others talk about his appearance, but Nanali couldn't help saying, "That is to say, he looks like an ordinary teenager?"

"It's true if you only look at the appearance, but..." the village head said.

"But?" Nanali asked.

"His temperament, although he looks just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenager, several years younger than the two of you two, but he gives people a terrible feeling, and he seems to have a dead breath."

After listening to the village head's words, Xinjie thought for a while and said, "Dead? Did he say his name?

"Well, he is very polite to me. He said his name is Arubas and he is a doctor." The village head said with a wry smile.

"Doctor? The doctor who leads the demon army? Nanali asked.

The village head shook his head, "Miss Nanali, strictly speaking, he is indeed a doctor. After he came to the village, he treated many people who were injured in the battle."

"So he is still a good man?" Nanali asked in surprise that this kind of unfolding made her a little unacceptable.

"What a good man, that bastard, I'd rather he didn't treat my brother!"

At this moment, someone suddenly intervened.

"Sasin, you can't be rude in front of Mr. Xinjie!" The village head said, and then turned to Xinjie and Nanali, "Don't be surprised, please forgive this poor child who lost his brother... I went on to say that after the mysterious doctor cured the villagers, he took them away."

"Take them away?" Somehow, Nanali suddenly felt an ominous omen.

The village head's next words confirmed her guess, "He took those people away!" He said he would use those living people to do experiments and turn them all into that kind of monster!"

The village head also lost his calmness when he said this and almost shouted out this sentence.

"Ah!" Nanali covered her mouth in surprise and turned a living person into a zombie. How could she... How could the young doctor named Arubas do it? This is so cruel!

After the village head said this, everyone present lowered their heads and fell into the great grief of losing their loved ones, and some people couldn't help sobbing.

Only Xinjie remained calm. He looked around and found that everyone looked at him with hope, and he understood why these people represented by the village head were so eagerly looking forward to his arrival.

"Do you know where Arubas took them?" Xinjie and other village leaders calmed down a little before asking.

"I didn't know, but I only knew that he took the monsters and the abducted people in the village to the west, but two days ago, a team of warriors came from Il Village. After hearing about the situation in the village, their captain sent someone to investigate and heard that there was a cave in the west that was the stronghold of the mysterious doctor."

"Captain, is he a senior? What about him now?" Nanali remembered what Xinjie once said and asked.

"Yes, it was Lord Pianyi. After he comforted us, he took people to defeat the doctor and save the villagers."

"Well..." Nanali nodded, "So what happened to Xinjie also told the village head?"

"That's not true. A knight named Yayi Summer told us that a swordsman named Xinjie will come here in the next two days. He asked me to tell Mr. Xinjie what happened here, and..."

The village head looked at Nanali and seemed to hesitate whether to speak.

"What else?" Seeing the appearance of the village head, Nanali became curious.

After seeing Nanali's inquiring eyes and Xinjie's silent gaze, the village head coughed and said, "Mr. Yayixia also said, 'Let the boy and his girlfriend catch up with us after they have enough rest!'"

After hearing the village head's words, although everyone was immersed in grief just now, they couldn't help sweeping around Xinjie and Nanali and smiling. It was clear in the eyes that the relationship between Mr. Swordsman and Ms. Archer turned out to be like this.

Xinjie was still very calm and even asked, "When did they leave?"

"They have been away for a whole day. I don't think you two need to be busy. How about taking a night off first and leaving early tomorrow morning?"

Although the two are eager to rescue the abducted villagers immediately, after all, there are many people and many forces, and the Mr. Yayi Summer Knight also said that Mr. Xinjie is a warrior that even Lord Thomas in Il village has personally praised. But the village head also knows that this is not a way to treat guests. You can't let two people work hard without eating a meal, can they?

Xinjie nodded, "It's so good."

So this short party came to an end. Under the arrangement of the village head, Xinjie and Nanali went to dinner first. Along the way, Xinjie found that Nanali, who was following him, had been bowing her head and asked strangely, "Nanali, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, nothing." Nanali quickly raised her head when she heard Xinjie's question.

Until now, she still recalls what the village head just said, "Mr. Yayizhixia also said, 'Let the boy and his girlfriend catch up with us after enough rest!'"

It seems that Xinjie didn't deny it just now. This doesn't work. The relationship between the two is also developing too fast. I'm not ready yet! However, if that guy acquiesces, it's not impossible...

Ah! No, I'm thinking about something. Now is not the time to think about these things. I should calm down and think about how to save those villagers!

At this moment, Xinjie saw that something was wrong with her situation and called her.

Unexpectedly, she kept bowing her head and following Xinjie. Xinjie stopped when she asked this sentence, while Nanali still moved forward. As soon as she raised her head, she bumped into Xinjie.

"It hurts!" Nanali exclaimed and was about to fall down.

Xinjie was quick-eyed and grabbed her, "Are you all right?"

"Ah!"

Nanali found that Xinjie was holding her hand and her face was close to her, so she blushed again, and this time the situation was more serious than before, and even Xinjie found it.

"Do you have a fever?"

Xinjie stretched out his hand and planned to probe her forehead.

"No!" Nanali quickly exclaimed.

She shook off Xinjie and grabbed her hand, ran fast, and suddenly disappeared.

Xinjie looked at her distant back and said to himself, "It looks very energetic. There should be no problem."

"Let's go to the place to eat and wait for her."

In this way, Xinjie walked to the place arranged for them by the village head alone.

Sure enough, in the middle of the meal, Nanali rushed over, just looking at her expression and seemed to be a little nervous.

"You are here. The village head has arranged for us. You live with the village head's daughter Xia Lian tonight, and I live with the village head."

Seeing Nanali, Xinjie said hello.

"Hmm."

Nanali answered softly. Seeing that Xinjie did not mean to continue talking, she made up her mind and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xin... Xinjie."

Huh? What's the matter?"

Although Xinjie felt a little strange, he didn't pay much attention to being called by Nanali in such a formal tone for the first time. After all, his personality is like this. If it were someone else, he might have to think about why Nanali suddenly changed.

"I want to ask you a question, is it convenient for you to answer?" Nanali lowered her head and crossed her hands and kept rubbing. Fortunately, there was only Xinjie nearby. Otherwise, this appearance and her beautiful appearance would attract the attention of many people. It's so cute!

"What's the problem?"

Xinjie finally noticed her look, put down her chopsticks and asked, thinking that there seemed to be something wrong with Nanali.

"Well...Well, what do you think of me?"

After finally asking this sentence, Nanali's head almost lowered to the bottom of the table, but at the same time she took a long breath.
