Chapter 11, the village chief’s disaster day The village chief of Kahn Village, a forty-five-year-old man, is picking up firewood alone in the forest on the edge of the village, holding a wooden stick.
Although the age of forty-five can only be regarded as a middle-aged uncle on the modern earth in the 21st century, in this world with relatively backward productivity, he is already an out-and-out old man.
With his age and family background, he would have been able to sit at home and enjoy the service of his children and grandchildren for a long time.
But due to an inexplicable little misfortune, today the old village chief had to collect firewood himself.
Alas, I don’t know if it was because I drank a few extra glasses of privately brewed fruit wine at yesterday’s dinner.
The whole family slept very late today.
When they woke up, the sun was already so high that there was nothing left to do.
Come on, I still have a lot of farm work to do in my own land.
Until this moment, the old village chief had not discovered the theft of the map at home.
After all, no one would rummage around as soon as they got up.
After complaining to each other for a while, the old village chief, as the head of the family, had no choice but to rush all the young people in the family to the fields, hoping that after adding more manpower, he could complete the scheduled workload.
Then he left the job of fetching water to his wife, and he took over the job of going into the forest to collect firewood.
What's even more unfortunate is that because we arrived too late today and the children and young people in the village got there first, there seemed to be no dead branches left to pick up at the edge of the forest near the village.
Although there are as many towering trees with leafy branches as there are in this place at the edge of the forest, it requires a strong man's arms and a logging ax to cut them down, and he only needs a strong man's arms and a logging ax to cut them down.
The machete can't be dealt with.
Therefore, in order to collect enough firewood for the whole family to cook dinner, the old village chief had to continue walking deeper into the forest.
After not walking far, I felt that the temperature had dropped a lot, and the sunlight had become much darker.
The old village chief knew that this was because the leaves above his head were too dense and the sunlight didn't let in much.
At the same time, the surroundings seemed to be dominated by silence.
Apart from the slight sound of swaying treetops and the echoing calls of birds and animals from time to time, there was only the sound of his own footsteps, which made the village chief feel a little flustered.
"There shouldn't be any ferocious beasts in this place yet, so hurry up and hope you don't encounter any bad luck again."
However, the poor old village chief didn't know that his misfortune was far from over on this day.
"Dizziness, dizziness, drowsiness, drowsiness" Along with a series of imperceptible "cat whispers", several small beams of light quietly shot out from the tree branches on the side.
The old village chief, who was attacked by concentrated fire, fell to the ground without even a groan.
After a while, the sneak attacker also jumped down from the tree branch, revealing his true appearance.
They were two kittens that looked cute but walked upright on their feet.
"Finally, I've defeated one, meow."
Tabby cat mage Wang Qiu murmured to himself as he looked at the "prey" lying in front of him.
"Hey, you are a level 100 mage.
Do you still need to waste four magic to deal with an unprofessional villager?"
Black cat knight Rachel rolled her eyes with disdain, "Thank you for claiming to be a battle-experienced time warrior, meow."
"I'm not bragging about my past combat experience."
Wang Qiu snorted angrily, "The problem is, before this, I have never used a cat's body to release magic.
Meow, for a beginner like this, the first Naturally you will feel a little guilty during a sneak attack, meow."
The two kittens squatted next to the unconscious village chief, bickering and waiting, until there was a breath from behind that made their hair stand on end.
It was between cats and dogs, across endless years and countless planes, but Racial antagonism remains the same "Hey little kittens, I'm here to move things."
The next moment, the red-haired werewolf maid Lupusregina jumped out of the lush bushes with a hearty smile, full of energy.
Two cats with their tails raised waved.
That afternoon, the surface temple of the Great Tomb of Nazarick "Okay, I've asked almost all the things that need to be interrogated.
I've also used magic to erase all the unnecessary memories in his mind, Lupusregina.
Please send this person back.
Remember your hands and feet."
Be gentle, don't hurt him."
Lich King Momonga snapped his fingers tiredly, and told the red-haired werewolf maid that just now, he first used magic to confuse humans to obtain information, and then used the highest level magic to modify memories.
Although Momonga is a level 100 witch, Demon player, but the magic power consumed because of this is too much.

It even made Momonga's body feel strangely tired, as if he had lost something.
Well, by the way, for the sake of safety and to be honest in front of the allies, Momonga did not bring the captives into the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but directly into the temple on the surface, along with many catmen, iron golems and A public interrogation was held with the goblins watching.
First of all, there is the issue of language.
At the beginning of the interrogation, Momonga was worried that he would encounter difficulties in this area, but it turned out to be unreasonable.
The old village chief actually spoke fluent standard Japanese as soon as he opened his mouth.
The above findings made Momonga deeply surprised: in this obvious situation It's a different world, a place where even the race is white, how can you use Japanese?
Could it be that I have actually traveled to another Japanese game?
So, he carefully observed the village chief's mouth shape, and finally discovered that this guy was not speaking Japanese because the mouth shape did not match at all.
But when he heard it, it automatically turned into Japanese.
After interrogation, the village chief's explanation was that there is a strange food called translation konjac in this world.
The original author set it up.
Doraemon's props were intrusive, and almost everyone Eat them all.
The effect after eating it is to allow the language to be automatically translated and then communicated to the other party, so that even non-human beings can understand it.
However, it can only be used for conversation, but cannot be used for reading foreign texts.
Although it seems unbelievable to travelers from other worlds, in the old village chief's mind, this kind of thing seems to be a matter of course.
Calm down and think about it, this is a magical world, and maybe it's not surprising that this world operates according to completely different laws.
In short, there is no language barrier in this world.
Even humans and monsters can communicate very smoothly.
Of course, this does not prevent them from saying hello to each other, and the next moment they slash with their swords until corpses are everywhere and rivers of blood flow.
There is a common misconception in Japanese animation, as if if everyone could exchange opinions candidly, many tragedies would not happen.
Then, there is basic information about this world, especially the country and geographical conditions near the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
According to the village chief, the village of Karn where they live and the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which is only ten kilometers away from Karn Village, are located at the junction of three major countries, namely the Bahas Empire in the northeast, The Kingdom of Riestij in the northwest, and the Theocracy of Slian in the south.
Among them, Kahn Village is a border village belonging to the Kingdom of Riestije.
In the yggdrasi game worldview based on Norse mythology, the names of these countries have never appeared at all.
At this point, President Momonga finally confirmed that he had come to a strange fantasy world, not the embodiment of the yggdrasi game world.
Next, the huge snow-capped mountains that are vaguely visible to the north of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are called the Angelia Mountains.
They are the natural dividing line between the Kingdom of Riestij and the Empire of Bahas.
To the west of the mountains is the kingdom, and to the east is the kingdom. empire.
The northernmost point of the Angelia Mountains range extends to the end of the continent, while the southernmost point of the mountain range is here.
A vast forest grows at the foot of the mountain.
Karn Village and the Great Tomb of Nazarick are both located on the southern edge of this forest, but one is in the west and the other is in the east.
Further south from the forest at the foot of the mountain is a vast grassland called the Kaz Plain.
The grassland around the Great Tomb of Nazarick is actually the northwest edge of the Kaz Plain.
This is a transportation hub between the three countries and the southeastern gateway of the Kingdom of Riestije.
The kingdom has a solid fortress city of Elandir here, and it is heavily garrisoned.
It is one of the few cities in the country directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family.
At this point, Momonga has basically determined that the alien human city discovered in the south should be the Elandir mentioned by the village chief.
According to the village chief, the fortress city of Yerantil, about fifty kilometers away to the south, is the largest city nearby and on the entire Kaz Plain.
Villagers often go there to trade and shop.
The cities of the Bajas Empire are much farther away from here.
In recent years, the Bahas Empire and the Kingdom of Riestij have been at war for many years, and the main battlefield is in the wilderness near the fortress city of Yelandir.
The kingdom seems to be in a disadvantageous situation, having been defeated in battles, and once the imperial army bypassed the fortress city and invaded the hinterland of the kingdom.
The map of the continent kept in the village chief's home was pulled out from the rotting corpse of a noble officer when he happened to pass by the battlefield.
Also found were a number of daggers and flints and other gadgets, because They seemed useful, so they were all taken back to the village.
The origin of the map is a personal speculation, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that the village chief of a medieval mountain village would have something as high-end and classy as a continental map in his home.

During the Long March, the Red Army tried to get a map of China from the small southwestern counties it occupied, but was unable to find it.
The territory of the Silen Theocracy is further south of the fortress city of Elantel, separated from the Great Tomb of Nazarick by a relatively long distance, and is not directly adjacent to it.
If we take the position of modern Europe as an analogy, then the Kingdom is equivalent to France, the Empire is equivalent to Germany, and the Theocracy is Italy.
The location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is probably in northern Switzerland.
Of course, this is only similar in relative location, and the geographical environment is completely different.
As for issues such as the national strength of the three, in an era without news and television, it was obviously impossible for the village chief of this remote village to know clearly.
There are other distant countries outside the neighboring Three Kingdoms.
The village chief is even less clear about them.
He only knows that some of them seem to be alien countries established by non-human races.
According to the village chief's confession and translation, the Lich King Momonga found the location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick on the map of the continent, and found that this place happened to be on the dividing line between the two countries.
As for whether this is the territory of the kingdom or the territory of the empire, only God knows.
In fact, this division doesn't make much sense, because the area is full of no-man's land, and there are monsters and undead infested.
It has never really been under the rule of any political power.
What kingdoms and empires can really rule are the human settlements on the plains.
The next information is about monsters.
Like yggdrasi, there seem to be many different kinds of monsters here.
In the forest near Kahn Village, there are many magical beasts living, the most powerful of which is a certain being named "Forest Wise King".
But Lich King Flying Squirrel interrogated for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what race this "Forest Wise King" was.
He only knew that it couldn't fly and didn't seem to look like a dragon.
Further afield, dwarves, forest elves, goblins, orcs, and ogres appear, posing a great threat to human settlers.
As a result, the profession of "adventurers" came into being who specialized in collecting rewards to defeat these monsters, including many magic casters.
These adventurers set up guilds in big cities and accepted tasks, but it was said that their fees were very high.
Every time country people hired adventurers, they had to raise funds from the whole village.
As for the strength of these adventurers and what level of magic they can use, the village chief couldn't tell clearly.
Therefore, Lich King Momonga, Guild Leader, still has not been able to figure out where his strength lies in this world.
Although he asked his subordinates to evaluate the strength of the village chief and found that his combat effectiveness was probably considered to be level two, in the final analysis, he was just an "unprofessional" civilian.
He was not a guy who could fight in the first place and could not be used as a reference for aliens.
The basis for the world’s level of military force.
Then, although the forests to the north of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are rampant with monsters, the grasslands to the south are equally unsafe.
Although the Kaz Plain is a transportation hub between the three countries, it is also a cursed place where undead spirits are often born naturally.
For most of the year, the Kaz Plains are covered in mist, and skeleton soldiers, zombies and bone dragons haunt the mist.
Because of this, humans have only developed a small area on the edge of grasslands and forests so far. land, but most of this fertile grassland continues to sleep in the wilderness.
Okay, although this environment sounds scary, it fits the situation very well with the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the undead bunker. oshow7:
