Everyone worked together to raze the garbage dump that was originally piled up to the ground before dawn, and picked up sediment to bury it properly, which can be regarded as a complete solution to a heart problem in Gudi Village.
After a hard day's work, some people couldn't sleep and flocked to Malik's tavern to celebrate the special day.
Roland and his companions were also invited by Malik to thank them on behalf of the villagers.
Bloom immediately said that "if you don't drink two glasses, you won't be able to get a piece of people's hearts", but everyone knows that he just wants to drink.
In fact, in addition to the superficial reasons, Malik invited Roland to drink another meaning.
"Mr.
Knight, you and your friends are very grateful for remedying a great scourge for our Valle Village, but," Malik said with embarrassment in Roland's encouraging eyes, "perhaps my request is a bit of a matter of merit, but some troubles can only be solved by a knight of extraordinary strength and a benevolent heart like you, so I would like to ask you to stay in the village for a few more days, and by the way find out who is actually abducting our children." ” Roland sipped his ale and was silent.
Malik's request was not excessive, but he had to consider how much trouble he and his companions would have to get involved.
Frankly, he is not a man who can unconditionally dedicate himself to a just cause.
He helped the valley village to solve the scavenging beasts, first of all, because this matter is not difficult, for him, as long as he spends a little effort and moves his mouth, it will not harm his own interests, and he can help others and win a good reputation at the same time, why not Involvement in the disappearance of children is quite different.
Not to mention that Tonya may be implicated, even if she has nothing to do with the matter, the murderer of the child abduction is really the old ghost woman hiding in the depths of the swamp, and Roland has to consider whether he can afford to provoke it.
Of course, he will not forget the warning conveyed by Lady Valentina on behalf of the "Harvest Ring": outsiders should not interfere in the conflict between the Green Druid and the Ghost Woman Warband Roland couldn't guess how deep the water was behind it, and if he broke in, he would probably drown.
Can you refuse Malik Seeing the expectant eyes of the tavern owner, thinking about those poor children, Roland really couldn't bear it.
He closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"Malik, I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer to this matter for the time being, please give me a little time to think about it."
Roland is not perfunctory.
It's easy to make a decision, but it's bitter to pay for a hasty decision.
He needs to weigh the pros and cons thoroughly, and he has to discuss it with his peers.
There was a hint of disappointment in Malik's eyes, but fortunately, Roland didn't say anything to death, and he did his part for the families who lost their children.
At this time, Veronica suddenly snorted, her eyes widened, and she pulled Roland's sleeve and pointed out the window.
"Look what that is."
Roland looked in the direction of her finger, and happened to see a white figure floating past the window, looking a little familiar.
Surprised, I looked closely, and the figure was Tonya, wearing thin pajamas, wandering alone in the night, exuding a ghostly aura all over her body, which made people shudder.
Bloom was pouring wine into the glass, and when he heard the words, he turned his head to look out the window, and watched the strange figure drift away in the night, until the ale overflowed the cup, and suddenly came back to his senses, and asked Veronica in wonder: "That ghostly guy outside the window looks like Tonya, three watches in the middle of the night, what the hell is she doing?"
"It's Tonya," Nikita sat closest to the window, and she could see the other person's face.
"Tonya's walking posture is very abnormal, it feels like sleepwalking," Roland frowned.
Before the words fell, the door was slammed open, and Lyudmila broke in in a hurry, with an anxious face.
"Tonya, she's missing" "You're saying the sleepwalker in the white nightdress was a coincidence, she just passed by the window."
Veronica smiled and pointed out the window.
"Sleepwalkers don't have the awareness to observe their surroundings, and in case it is dangerous to fall into the river, we better follow and see."
Roland stood up and took Lyudmila's hand and walked briskly out of the tavern.
Sleepwalkers are unable to restrain their actions with reason, and can harm not only themselves but also others, not to mention that Tonya is a spellcaster with extraordinary powers, and its potential harm is far greater than that of a madman with a knife in the street.
"It's not that Tonya is in trouble, it's that she's in big trouble."
Considering the worst-case scenario, Nikita couldn't sit still either, and quickly got up and walked out the door.
"I'll go out too, and I'll have a good idea in case of an accident" Veronica finally realized the seriousness of the situation, pushed open the window, jumped out of the window, and took a shortcut to chase Tonya.
"Hey, wait for me," Bloom quickly picked up a full glass of ale, and poured it down his throat with a clatter, grabbing the hammer and hurriing out without bothering to wipe the foam from his beard.
Dark clouds obscured half of the moon's face, and the valley village was silent.
Tonya, dressed in a thin nightgown and with a disheveled head, walked barefoot in the dimly lit alleys.
Her eyes were closed, and there was no expression on her face, as if she was sleeping.
Her steps are erratic, but whenever she encounters an obstacle, she always bypasses it in time to choose a safer direction.
It is impossible for a sleepwalker to find the right direction, but Tonya was able to get here thanks to the rope around her neck.
When she deviates from the path designated by the person in her dream, the rope tightens and forcibly pulls her to change direction.
She wandered in the moonlight, seemingly free, but in fact she was nothing more than a marionette, led by an invisible magic hand to a house.
Tonya grabbed the large bundle of rope around her neck, stopped at the window of the house, and peered in through the window.
The first time she opened her eyes, there was nothing but a dullness in them, as if it wasn't what she wanted to observe, but another will lurking in her dreams that needed to borrow her eyes to observe the situation in the window.

A little girl is lying asleep in a children's bed by the window, and if Roland were standing here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that the girl is Katyusha, who plays the role of "old ghost woman" in the game during the day.
The little girl frowned in her sleep, as if she were having a nightmare.
During the day, she violated the rule of "don't talk to strangers" in the game, and it is said that she will attract a real ghost woman, so that she cannot feel at ease in her sleep.
The windows were bolted, but a single wire could stop the mighty druid.
Her slender nails dug into the crack in the window, and Tonya flicked her fingers and silently cut the wire.
The window opened silently, and the hazy moonlight shone on Tonya, casting her shadow on the cot and drowning the sleeping girl on it.
Tonya stood at the window expressionlessly, and after a long time, she stretched out her right hand and stroked the girl's face in the air.
The rope around her neck wriggled like a snake, as if urging her to hurry up and catch her prey.
Tonya's eyes were tightly closed, but her facial muscles began to twitch slightly, and she grabbed the girl's neck, and shrank back like an electric shock the moment she was about to touch the other, her expression becoming more and more painful, as if the good instinct was subconsciously fighting against some evil command that had been conveyed to her through her dreams.
The bundle of rope around her neck shook more and more violently, making a rustling sound, showing that she was dissatisfied with Tonya's resistance.
It first shrank inward, strangling Tonya's neck, and when the threat failed to force the other to yield, it simply threw out the rope and snaked its way down Tonya's arm, like a poisonous snake crawling over the windowsill to the sleeping girl on the bed
