"So what do you think we should do next?"
Ree Shil asked Andrew again.
"Guard the village entrance and wait for a mission to be delivered."
Andrew held up a sign.
"...Are you still thinking about Mr. Grasshopper?"
Ree Shil couldn’t help but ridicule.
"According to the RPG rules, go to the pub, sit for a while, and gather information."
Andrew wrote and showed, "Then you will encounter a sudden fight event."
"What era of RPG were you talking about..."
Ree Shil looked around at the surroundings: "Besides, in such a broken place, where is there a pub?"
"Find a villager, help him with so small tasks to gain favor, and then obtain intelligence."
Andrew held up the sign again, but found that Ree Shil had already walked up to a villager.
"Hello, villager, I’ll get straight to the point."
"Huh?"
"What has happened in this village recently?"
"Uh?"
As soon as Ree Shil asked, the villager was taken aback.
"Can’t you be a little more roundabout?"
Andrew held up the sign again and ridiculed.
"You are... a young master traveling the world?"
However, the villager looked at Ree Shil with his maid, demon pet, and servant and showed a sudden realization.
Andrew:?
"I would advise you, young master, to take a detour and not stay in this village."
Then, the villager sighed with a bitter expression.
"Tell more."
Ree Shil imdiately put his arm around the villager’s shoulder.
There’s no need to be roundabout and waste ti.
"This village is under the control of Lord Autumn. If you stay here too long, your spirit will be absorbed."
The villager looked at Andrew, pointing and saying, "Before Lord Autumn appeared, I was even fatter than you."
"?"
Andrew was unhappy with this statent and raised his fist in a "I’m going to hit you" gesture.
"You can scold , but you cannot insult ."
He held up the sign.
"...Isn’t scolding you also insulting you?"
Ree Shil was a little speechless, then turned to the villager: "Who is Lord Autumn?"
In the following days, they got so general situation information from the villager.
In fact, gatherings of each demon clan were carefully selected, and over ti, a large amount of demon qi accumulated.
Demon qi is an essential commodity for the survival of the demon tribe and is required for their cultivation to beco stronger.
Therefore, for demon beasts, demon qi has the sa attractive force.
Occasionally, so demon beasts would be attracted by demon qi and co to the demon clan’s gathering place.
Among those with relative wisdom, they would live in harmony with the demon clan or even stay behind.
Those without wisdom would pose a threat to the demon clan’s lives and be expelled or dealt with.
Lord Autumn was a demon beast that was attracted in that way.
However, its origin and species are unknown, and it has never appeared in person.
Undoubtedly, this mysterious demon beast, which can have a serious impact on the survival of the demon tribe, must be extrely powerful.
Furthermore, its presence turns the environnt into autumn, so it was called Lord Autumn by everyone.
Moreover, unlike ordinary demon beasts, Lord Autumn seems to have wisdom and also seems to not have any.
It doesn’t communicate with any of the demon tribes, but it also doesn’t pose any direct threat to the gathering place.
It simply keeps absorbing the demon qi from the surrounding demon qi gathering spots.
The current appearance of the village and its villagers is the result of Lord Autumn’s long-term seizure of demon qi.
"So why not leave here?"
Andrew listened and raised his sign.
"It’s not that easy. The surrounding demon qi lands are all occupied by Lord Autumn."
"In farther places, the roads are dangerous, and demon beasts are lurking."
"By staying here, we can barely survive on the remnants of the demon qi that Lord Autumn absorbs. If we venture out, we might vanish in a blink of an eye."
"It’s only powerful demon teams like you, young masters, who can easily get here."
The villager explained.
It’s not that they don’t want to leave, but they simply can’t.
Before their strength reaches a certain level, ordinary demon tribe mbers cannot live too long in the usual environnt.
Because without the nourishnt and supply of demon qi, ordinary demons would likely die within a month.
For example, those ordinary demons living in the human city must regularly buy demon qi to survive.
To them, demon qi is a necessity, like water, air, and food.
That’s why, in this world, the demon population was much smaller than that of the human tribe population.
"So... there’s no one from the wooden demon clan to take care of it?"
Ree Shil rembered that Exterminator Thirteen had told him that the Five Great Demon Clans of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth all had so-called Great Demon leaders.
Apart from the Flawless Galaxy, the great demon of the gold tribe who disappeared, the other great demons were still alive.
Since there were leaders, there supposed to be organizations.
They shouldn’t have let this harmful-to-people’s-livelihood thing happen.
"Since you ntioned it, I won’t be puzzled."
The energy of this villager, who was originally depressed, suddenly changed, and his eyes brightened.
He is the political master of the village and loves to advise.
How powerful?
Perhaps joining a group discussion could make the group disband within three days of joining.
"This matter needs to start from the catastrophe about a hundred years ago..."
"..."x2
Finally, after he finished speaking, Ree Shil extracted so information.
Generally, great demons could not deal with things happening in remote areas like this.
So the surrounding villagers could only take risks to ask for help from the nearest city lord in a city county.
