Great time travel

Chapter No.17, the gap between battles
Although the armored knights who attacked the village had been played to death by cats and goblins, the surviving villagers seemed to become even more frightened.

After all, considering from the position of the weak, the knights who slaughtered them were certainly not good people, but the new savior was equally frightening.

Such a brief contact is not enough for the villagers to regard these new "strong men" as their so-called "own people".

Especially after seeing the cute-looking kittens ravage the seemingly tough knights into piles of meat in such a brutal way...

Therefore, the Lich King Ainz, who has just arrived in another world and has no real experience of doing evil so far, and is essentially just an ordinary urban office worker, finds that he has to shoulder the responsibility of comforting people's hearts and finding ways to eliminate the uneasiness of the villagers. !
Hell, I'm a lich that everyone fears!Why do you want to play a guest role as a priest or a psychiatrist who heals the hearts of mortals?

But there is really no way, you can't let the guild monster guardians who regard human beings as low-level creatures do this kind of thing!

Ainz, who was wearing a mask, rolled his eyes inwardly, but he had to squeeze out the most amiable voice, and said in a pleasant manner:
"...As you can see, I am a magician who has traveled all over the world. When I passed by this village, I saw these cold-blooded butchers killing innocent villagers. Just draw your sword to help..."

"...About these cats... er... don't worry, they are all my pets..." Looking down at Qiu, the tabby cat king who was resting next to him, he didn't seem to have any objection, Lich King Ainz Then he continued, "...It's just using magic to open up the intelligence, just treat them as my disciples and servants. As long as you don't mess with them, there will be no trouble..."

"...Is there anyone who is injured and needs to be healed? I have prepared healing magic here!"

——After the little goblin Flor generously performed the [group light wound healing technique] free of charge to heal the villagers who were cut or fell, the survivors of Karn Village finally calmed down and asked for help. The benefactors who saved me kowtowed to thank them, and gradually let down their guard against these kitten people who look like pet cats, and the little fairies who look more delicate and cute.

After all, the reason why cute things are cute is because they have a cute enough appearance that can arouse people's natural affection.

Next, the surviving villagers wiped away their tears one after another, and began to clean up the mess: put out the flames that were still burning on some houses, salvage the remaining food and property, collect the corpses of the dead, and take away the armor, swords and horses left by the knights Collect them to make up for some losses.

In this dark age where the weak prey on the strong, there is not much time left for the living to immerse themselves in mourning for the dead.

Then, an extremely crude mass funeral was hastily carried out in the public cemetery on the outskirts of the village.This so-called cemetery is nothing more than an open space surrounded by dilapidated fences. There are some round stone tablets engraved with the names of the deceased, and more cheap wooden signs.

Because too many people died this time, the remaining manpower in the village is limited, and there are too many things to deal with, it is impossible to dig out enough earth pits to bury all the remains at a time, so we can only bury some of them first, and the rest The corpses are temporarily piled on the grain drying ground.Strangely, it was not the chopped-up dead that they buried first, but the more complete part of the body.As for the coffin, of course, we can't buy it. At most, we can only wrap a sheet on the corpse, or even cover it with some hay, and then throw it into the pit and bury it hastily.In the end, the village head recited an oration to comfort the dead in the cemetery, and paid homage to a few unheard-of alien gods, praying for the dead to rest in peace, and that was all.

From the standpoint of visitors from other worlds like Ainz and Wang Qiu, burying the deceased in a hurry on the day of his death seems to be a bit too impatient, and it also shows a lack of respect for the deceased—whether it is according to modern Japanese or Chinese It is the custom of people to stop for a few days after the death of a loved one, spend a lot of money to organize a bunch of memorial ceremonies, and collect a large amount of free money from the worshiping guests to make up for the expenses. This is the normal process.

However, the funeral customs and moral concepts in the other world are probably very different from those on Earth, so they didn't say much about it.

——It was only later that visitors from other worlds learned that due to the ubiquity of undead magic, in order to prevent the corpses of the dead from being used by the undead, or from being turned into horrible things like zombies due to some natural reasons.After the death of relatives and friends, people in this world generally don't dare to put the dead at home for a few days.Unless it is those dignitaries who can afford a grand funeral, once there is a dead person in an ordinary family, they will be buried in the ground as soon as possible, otherwise there is a danger of becoming a zombie or a skeleton soldier... The safety of the living is better than the dignity of the dead It's more important.

In the same way, after the disaster in the village is over, the surviving villagers can temporarily put aside other things and bury the bodies of their relatives and friends as soon as possible.Otherwise, if there is another undead natural disaster, then this small village can really disappear from the world!
——Moreover, the Kaz Plain where Kahn Village is located happens to be the hardest-hit area in the world with the highest probability of natural death...

Among the villagers who gathered in the cemetery to mourn their loved ones were the two rescued sisters in the first place—Anli.Emmott and Nim.Emmott.The random visitors from another world failed to save their parents after all, because the couple had already died before that.

At this moment, the pair of sisters are hugging each other and crying into a ball, looking haggard and desolate in the howling mountain wind.

What they don't know is that the cat and the "exotic magician" who saved them before can actually allow them to meet their parents again.

For example, in the hands of Lich King Ainz right now, there is a [Resurrection Scepter] made of ivory and gold, full of sacred aura, which can resurrect the dead who have just died.And full-level goblin players and cat priest players also have the ability to cast resurrection techniques to instantly revive any NPC below level ten.Not to mention saving the parents of the sisters, it is more than enough to resurrect all the dead in this village.

However, until the end of the prayer ceremony and the end of the funeral, all the visitors from other worlds did not intend to help.

After all, none of them are saints, and they usually don't pay too much for doing such a useless thing.

Although there were a lot of [Resurrection Sceptres] in Ainz's hand, there was nowhere to replenish them in this world.And the protagonist Wang Qiu and his party, who have experienced many time travels, are absolute pessimists, never afraid to guess the attitude of strangers with the greatest malice.

After all, the real world isn't a Dragon Quest fantasy, where you're not guaranteed to be thanked and revered if you save the villagers—and maybe they're happy to be rescued and think you're an idiot And the big head, thinking about how to avenge and kill you!Those little fresh donkeys who foolishly ran to the wilderness without preparation, and were trapped in distress, cried and begged the PLA to come to search and rescue, and turned around to slander the PLA and the public security officers, accusing the tyranny of the military and police, on 21 Modern China in the [-]th century is not uncommon.

So far, the reason why the villagers have not shown such a tendency to repay kindness and hatred is because the folk customs here are simple and everyone has a moral concept of gratitude in their hearts, or is it because they are aware of current affairs enough to be shocked by the toughness of this strong man Force is hard to say.

After burying the body of the deceased, the village chief wiped away his tears and invited the Lich King Ainz and his party to his home for hospitality.
