The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Abes stood beside the wooden stake where Rectore was tied, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He had just learned the location of the human captives from the lizardman captive, but he also knew that he did not have enough supplies to feed this new population.

All of his men are displaced guys. It can be said that life is already difficult now. If a large number of humans are rescued directly, the result will inevitably make the situation even worse.

They couldn't really feed everyone by hunting and gathering.

Our ancestors in the primitive era did these two things. Now that we have entered the magical civilization, are we still doing the same?

inappropriate!

After agreeing that he would come in the middle of the night to release the lizard man, Abes added another question.

"Can you please tell me where your baggage train is?"

----------

Time quickly came to the next day. After seeing the rope falling off the tree stump and the broken end of the hemp rope, the crowd caused quite a commotion for a while.

But then, with some arrangements made in advance by Abes, these doubtful voices were quickly suppressed.

Everyone packed up their things and continued to head towards the royal capital.

No matter whether they were the big people from the farm or the hungry people they encountered yesterday, they all gathered around Abes naturally. The wolf fur that was stripped off yesterday was hung on the truck, swaying gently in the breeze.

Abes held the half-sword tightly in his hand, his eyes sharp.

The silver-haired girl quietly moved from behind to the side of Abes very naturally.

"Your arrangement is very clever, but why don't you let me know?"

"What?" Abes asked in pretended confusion, but looking at the rope in her hand, he already knew what the other party wanted to ask.

Kronos lowered his voice, and Abes's arrangements yesterday were guessed bit by bit by the other party.

"You reached a deal with the other party, and in exchange, you are prepared to let the Lizardman go."

"It's just that Silver Moon Farm, out of hatred, will not let you do this, so you arranged an ingenious method to remove the suspicion from your head."

"You were already in contact with the other person during dinner yesterday, so the questioning should have been completed by now. But if you were the only one in contact the entire night, then your suspicion would be greatly increased."

"So... when you were talking about tomorrow's action plan after dinner, you briefly mentioned the matter of Silver Moon Farm. This kind of subtle incitement is very useful for those uncles who can't control their tempers."

"In this way... you are not the only person who came into contact with the Lizardmen yesterday. After all, everyone saw that several people from Silver Moon Farm went over there and insulted the other party."

Kronos glanced at the hot-tempered farmers lightly, and then his eyes quickly moved away, as if his gaze had never fallen on anyone at all.

"But this is far from enough."

"The hemp rope used to bind the lizardman captives broke, and you gave an excuse that the rope was too old, had been gnawed by rats, and was too fragile."

"Indeed, Uncle Darang, who provided the hemp rope, was not convinced and took out his own bundle of hemp rope from the truck. When he inspected it in public, he really found traces of gnawing."

"But I know very well that when you slaughtered the Warg, you took a few of its teeth as souvenirs."

"The hemp ropes scattered beside the tree stump had very smooth cut ends. It was obviously not the result of being too fragile due to being gnawed by mice and finally being broken free by the lizardmen."

"Your hand-and-a-half sword is not the original one from thousands of years ago, but a replica made by my grandfather, a magic-infused weapon, extremely sharp."

Now, the string with the smooth cut was held in Kronos' hand.

Abes looked at the other party nervously, not knowing what this NPC who possessed a lot of knowledge related to protection would do to him.

"In addition, several people have come forward to say that they saw the bushes shaking violently when they were half asleep and had to go to the bathroom at night."

"This gave everyone the illusion that the Lizardmen finally escaped from the bushes."

"And I found traces of friction on a thick branch of another tree nearby."

"You tie the bushes with ropes and then you loop the ropes around the trees next to them and you have a pulley-like design."

“What you call the violent shaking of the bush is actually you quietly pulling on the rope.”

"As for the evidence, it's the condition of the rope. I've already mentioned that the cut was smooth, but the rope was worn out overnight and became tattered. It's really unbelievable."

"Also, those people clearly got up at different times. Although there is no sundial or water clock, we don't know the exact time."

"But through their descriptions of the starry sky, I already know the approximate time period of the two events."

"How is it possible that the lizardman captives escaped once at three o'clock and then escaped again at four o'clock?"

Kronos continued to speak, while Abes had come to his senses.

The other party most likely has no intention of exposing him. After all, if he wanted to expose him, he would not lower his voice and tell him all the flaws one by one.

All he had to do was wave the hemp rope in front of everyone at the beginning, and everything would be ruined.

The more detailed the other party's analysis is, the more I feel a strange illusion of being disappointed in their performance.

Kronos, this clever silver-haired girl is probably saying...

Hope you can do better and leave less room for suspicion?

"After that, we had to act quickly because we were afraid that the escaped Lizardmen would come with a large force. There was no time to continue checking and asking questions."

"Anyway, Master Abes, I'm not saying this to threaten you or have any other intentions."

At this point, the silver-haired girl quietly grabbed Abes's sleeve and said, "You are an ancient hero. Why don't you tell me about this and let me do it?"

"As a hero, you must not have any stain on your body. Otherwise, what will happen in the future?"

"Next time if you have any action, please let me know, I will do my best to help you!"

Abes was shocked by the other party's sudden confession of feelings. He had never thought of acting with this girl.

Perhaps it was because she was too young, or perhaps it was because she had the knowledge to activate the protection and her role in the game should be an important plot NPC, so Abes felt that she was not suitable to take risks in such matters.

But at this moment, the intelligence and calmness shown by the other party made him hesitate for a moment.

Although the recruitment function has not been unlocked yet, it is estimated that it is not possible to officially recruit powerful NPCs.

But if you can get help from a smart NPC by making a verbal promise, why not do it?

"Kronos, do you really think you can help me?" Abes asked helplessly.

Abes looked down at her, his blue eyes shining brightly between his silver hair.

"Yes, if you believe in me, please let me join your team! I'm not just referring to the people here, I'm talking about real, adventurous companions, just like the ones recorded in ancient legends!"

Kronos raised his head and looked at Abes with firm eyes.

Perhaps he was moved by her determination and courage, Abes suddenly felt that the guy in front of him was not a high-IQ person after the integration package was connected to AI, but was in a more "human" state.

Abes shook his head and drove the unrealistic thoughts out of his mind.

Man, the worst thing you can do when playing games is to let virtual characters get stuck in your mind!

He held out his hand to the girl, "If this is what you want!"
