Chapter 365 Volcanic Roadblock

Culux Island, Ruminas Village.

The tour group escorting Xinjie finally arrived at the small village at the south gate of Elbania ten days later.

"The village head is looking for you, Chief Pitt!"

On the evening of the day he came to this small village, Xinjie was playing chess with Pete, but suddenly a soldier came to report.

"Village head?"

When Xinjie saw Pete frowning, he took the initiative to ask, "Can I leave for a while?"

"No, no." Pete shook his head and said to the soldier, "Please let him in."

He turned his head and said to Xinjie, "In fact, when we just arrived here today, we already found that the village head seemed to have something to say to me. Maybe it was because there were too many people at that time, so it has been delayed until now."

Xinjie nodded and said nothing, and at the same time, the soldier also led a man in.

"Major Pitt, Special Envoy Xinjie." After simply greeting the two, the village head said:

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I think I have to tell Chief Pitt about this."

Seeing the solemn expression of the village head, Pi nodded, "Let's talk about it, village head."

The village head sighed, "It's about ghosts."

"Ghost?"

Peter frowned, "Is it the ghost of the underground cell of Goral City?"

"Yes, there are ghosts everywhere, and I don't know what happened." The village head said and looked at Xinjie.

Peter knew what he meant and explained, "It doesn't matter. The envoy happened to be from the Kingdom of France, and this matter has something to do with him."

"Kingdom of France?"

Xinjie doesn't understand what Pete means.

When the village head heard Pete's words, he explained to Xinjie, "Well, this is a horror legend about the heritage of the Elkadia Empire. I heard that it was the legacy of the empire that destroyed the soldiers sent from the Kingdom of France in the past. When Torfagia was destroyed, the legacy of the Arcadia Empire was almost gone, but it still seemed to be a treasure that was lucky enough to avoid death. Having said that, it is said that only the descendants of the empire can use the imperial heritage!"

Pigen nodded and then said, "Before I came, I also heard that there were undead in Goral's underground cell. It is said that the undead was a wizard from the Kingdom of France. The man who betrayed his friends, lost his reputation, and even lost his beloved woman seemed to be bound by regret and self-reproach while waiting for someone. Human-like. No matter how long it took, it couldn't save him. It's sad that he can only repent of the great sins he committed until the end of the world.

"A wizard from the Kingdom of France?"

The more Xinjie heard, the more he couldn't understand. Is it the same situation as the undead knight he had met in the hotel before?

Peter continued with a smile, "But these are just legends. After all, many prisoners were locked in Goral's cell before, so there were many supernatural events. Some people came here half-jokingly to test their courage, and some timid soldiers said that they did not dare to come here to patrol in the middle of the night, which was really nerve-wracking! I have a friend who has been there for nearly 30 years and hasn't even seen half a ghost!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to the village head: "What, has the news also spread to you?"

"No, we have only heard about the ghost of Goral. After all, the imperial capital is still far away from us. I'm talking about the ghost in the forest."

"Forest? Imr Forest?"

Peter asked.

"Yes, it's the Imr Forest at the foot of Benicas Volcano in the north of our village."

"Are there any ghosts there?"

"Yes, in fact, I have sent many messengers to Gular for help, but so far there is no response at all..."

He peeked at Peter as he spoke.

Xinjie looked at it and felt funny. The village looked loyal and honest, but it was actually a quite interesting person. He clearly saw so many palace soldiers coming here and wanted to ask them to help solve this matter, but he was embarrassed to say, so he did so.

Peter took a look at him and said, "Well, it's a pity that I have to escort the envoy to Minokea Village. I can't help you."

He is unwilling to let the soldiers take risks for such a mysterious matter. "Since you have asked Goral for help, I believe they will reply to you soon."

"No...that's right, oh, alas, what should I do now?"

He said and peeked at Pete with his eyes, but Pete pretended not to see it.

So after the two said some unnutritious words, the village head left.

After seeing off the village head, Peter said to Xinjie with some embarrassment, "It really made you laugh."

"It doesn't matter," Xinjie shook his head with a smile. "It's getting late. I'm going to rest now. Good night."

"Good night, Lord Xinjie."

Xinjie did not return to his place of residence, but wandered around the village.

The village of Ruminas is just a small village, similar in size to Il Village, but the village has not built a portal, so it can't get here directly from Gular.

However, the people in this village are quite enthusiastic. After a while, Xinjie himself doesn't understand why he talked to a housewife-like person:

"Hello, traveler. Ruminas Village is a good village. Please stay at ease.

"It's really a good village."

"So that's really the case! If you feel too bad, don't mind!"

“......”

I was powerless to complain, and after a while, he was pulled by another.

"Hello, traveler. Are you attracted to Rumenas? Did Mrs. Lavan tell you? She said that this village may have descendants of the empire!"

"Mrs. Lavan?"

Xinjie didn't understand what she was talking about, "It's Mrs. Lafan who just talked to you!" She is always so enthusiastic about strangers..."

"Uh...she didn't tell me this..."

"Well... Anyway, there are a lot of guests in the village today. I won't tell you that it's already dark. Bye."

"Mrs. Brana and Mrs. Lavan are bothering you, right? But they are all good people!"

"Jack?"

Jack of the tour group smiled and came to Xinjie, "Why don't you sleep so late?"

"Well, I want to walk around the village." Xinjie said, "How do you know them?"

"I met him when we were chatting before," Jack touched his head unkindly. "Please keep it a secret. Don't tell Rose about this matter. It's terrible if she knows about it."

"They?"

Xinjie thinks it's incredible. No matter from which corner, Jack's wife Rose is much better than these two housewives.

"Rose is fine, but..." Jack coughed twice. Maybe he didn't think the topic was good, so he said, "by the way, I heard that the villagers have said a lot of things around here, such as the gods living in Benicas volcano opposite the forest, which will cause the volcano to erupt when they are in a bad mood. And there are the undead of former dead soldiers in the Imr Forest. For example, the well beside us is full of resentment of women who were thrown in and drowned in the past... Do you feel horrible?

"No."

If this feels horrible, then the opener is too tricky.

"by the way, I've been busy on my way these days, and I don't have time to thank you! If it weren't for Lord Xinjie, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come here.

"You're welcome, raise your hand."

"It's a great deal for you, but it's a great kindness for us," Jack said seriously. He was about to continue to express it, but his ears banged, and then he couldn't hear anything.

I only felt that my legs were soft, as if the whole ground began to shake. Just as he was about to fall, Xinjie next to him pulled him.

With the help of Xinjie, he barely stood firm, but his brain was chaotic and he didn't understand what had happened.

Looking at Xinjie, he looked into the distance and seemed to say something, but at this moment, he couldn't hear anything. Instead, he looked along Xinjie's eyes and saw something big in the distance, but his eyesight was not as dark as Xinjie's, and he couldn't see anything on this dark night.

But even so, he knew in his heart that something must have happened.

At night, Benicas volcano erupted again after a hundred, and the road to the village of Minokea was blocked.

"This is the tenth day, or can't we move forward?"

Jack asked his wife Rose with a sigh, "Half of the people in the tour group have left."

"I can't help it. Volcanic ash blocked the road. Looking at this situation, I don't want to go to Minokea for more than a month. It's inevitable for these people to leave. Who else is left now?"

"There is only the girl named Mikoto Misaka. I heard that even the soldiers who escorted the envoy are going back."

"Well, what should we do? Do we want to go back with them?" Rose said worriedly, "If you miss it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to walk back safely. Those mercenaries have almost gone these two days."

Jack thought for a moment and finally made a decision:

"Well, you go and tell Sister Misaka. I'll tell Pete that there should be no problem on my side, but if we are a few people, there will definitely be no problem with us. Try to persuade Sister Misaka to go back with us. After all, it's too dangerous for a girl like her to walk alone."

This time, Rose was surprisingly not jealous, because she knew that her husband was right. A 15- or 16-year-old girl wanted to walk alone through the area with fierce demons, which was simply looking for her own death.

"But I don't know if she will agree. She has persisted and hasn't left yet. It must be difficult to move her." Nevertheless, Rose has no hope of persuading Mikoto Misaka to leave with them. After all, she will not return to Gular with them for the same reason.
