"Is the village itself okay?" Grim asked.

Ruth squeezed the corner of her mouth: "We have set up a barrier. No one dares to touch us yet." Ruth looked very confident.

In fact, after several days of protection, no homes were damaged. The surprise was short-lived, and Ruth soon showed a disgusted expression: "But the crop fields have been destroyed, and the food supply is almost at the bottom."

"How long can it last?" Ryan asked.

"Probably, considering you and those children, it would be good if it can last for three days."

"We have five days' worth of food in our wagons. It doesn't matter if we add it all up."

"Thank you." Ruth said, looking a little annoyed.

Although there is food, life is still poor. Something has to be done before the worst happens, and Olivia and others' faint hopes ultimately fail.

The village is also filled with negativity and hope.

Ruth remained silent, and Ryan turned his gaze to the other three people and nodded, then he looked at Ruth and said: "Old lady. In fact, we split into two teams halfway. One of the teams returned to the town to contact the kingdom."

Ruth's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly lowered her gaze: "Did they escape? When we went to rescue you, except for the one-eyed monster, the others were all insignificant guys. The people who attacked us are not that simple. ."

Ryan responded: "I don't know. But, I believe them."

Ruth showed a surprised expression to Ryan for the first time: "You have become very optimistic."

Ryan laughed shyly. However, Ruth lowered her gaze again and narrowed her eyes: "We have to ask the knights of the kingdom for help. We have really fallen."

Grimm said: "About this..."

"It will take a week to get here from the royal capital, no matter how urgent it is. Even if you gather the nearby garrison knights, it will take the same time. If you want to fight against the army, it will be even more difficult..."

I don't mean to pour cold water on this by saying this frankly, but the facts should still be told to everyone.

But Ryan immediately responded: "No problem. Nia doesn't solve problems the easy way. Even if Nia doesn't think about it, Keping is here."

"If you consider using teleportation magic, it's even more difficult. Just estimating based on quantity and distance would take a long time, and collecting enough magic itself would be nearly impossible."

"Teleportation is not just magic." Ryan's words made Grim twist his neck.

"If it were me, I would contact Leno."

Hearing these words, Grim suddenly realized something.

"Yes, this method is feasible. He should be able to do it."

Ruth, who had been listening to their conversation, asked, "What does this mean?"

"Reno has some special abilities, one of which is the ability to move a lot of things to another place."

Ruth seemed confused and frowned: "Even 'teleportation' is impossible. Combined with teleportation, one person's magic power alone is not enough. What kind of person is he?"

Ryan continued: "Although it's not a word I like. He is a 'monster'. Neither I nor the old lady can understand it. He is an extremely powerful 'monster'."

There was a sense of heaviness in this voice. People who know their grandson would not make such a joke. Faced with Ryan's serious look, Ruth had no choice but to accept it.

In a misty forest, three figures stood there.

One of them is Buzz, the Death Hunter. The other was a monster with the face of a dragon, human hands, bird feet, and a snake-like tail.

Behind Baz, "First Bird Ghost" Dadan stood quietly with drooling eyes.

"Baz, it looks like you failed. Quack." The smiling monster responded.

Baz glared at him and shot back: "You also let them escape into the village because you handed them over to the scum, right?"

The monster turned its head: "Anyway, if you hadn't told me to come back, I would have killed them long ago."

"Don't shirk the responsibility on me."

He sneered triumphantly, Baz's anger showing in anger.

"I'm going to skewer you like a turkey dragon."

"Don't call me Gobbler, call me Bell. I hate birds."

"There is no bird element on the feet."

The monster who called himself Bell turned around and let everyone see his back, where a pair of small chicken wings were flapping.

“Look, there’s an element of the bird right where it’s least needed.”

"You know nothing."

"I'm a turkey dragon, but I can't fly. I'm the captain of the flying force, but I can only fly with flying magic. What do you think?"

"so what."

While they were talking, Dadan touched Baz's back lightly and called "Baz, Baz." Baz and Bell raised their heads following the sound, and both knelt down and bowed their heads.

Slowly, Dadan made the same move, and the ground shook. Along with the scratching sound, a huge shadow appeared in front of the three people.

As he got closer, the figure in the fog became clearer. At first glance, it looks like a huge snake. The pure white body is shining with ruby ​​eyes, and it is really huge.

"Welcome, Lord Barak." Baz said.

The snake, known as Barak, muttered: "Long time no see." Baz and Bell felt the anger in the voice, and this atmosphere made them feel the air trembling.

"How long does it take to capture a village?"

"I can't answer you." Baz replied. Barak just turned his eyes to him and made a clicking sound.

Bell and Baz turned their heads slightly, while Dadan was shaking in fear. Barak turned his attention to the frightened Dadan.

"Don't be afraid, we are from the same hometown." Barak said, but then added: "Ah, you have lost your memory." Barak sighed.

"I have also been asked like this by the 'Devil King'. I asked you to treat me with this attitude. Please understand."

Bell responded with words: "It's not funny at all."

Barak was silent for a moment, then continued: "It's like a stuck in your throat."

"The 'Demon King' has given me three days. During this time, capture the village and enter the kingdom."

Bell smiled proudly and said, "Now that Lord Barak has arrived, we can regard it as having captured the village."

That night was a peaceful one. Ryan sat alone on the porch of Ruth's house, looking up at the stars in the sky. The twinkling stars seemed to tell him how unreal the thick fog in the forest was.

"Ryan."

When he heard someone calling his name, Ryan turned around and saw An standing next to him carrying a wooden basin with two tea bowls on it. She placed a teacup next to Ryan, picked up the other and sat next to him.
