Happy people from Blue Star

Although the quilts in the guest room looked clean, they had a strange smell, probably because they had not seen the sun for a long time.

The humans living here are used to it and should be able to accept it, but Hardy cannot accept it for the time being.

So he put himself into a continuous cold-resistant state, then leaned against the wall, sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

The quality of rest in this state is not very good, but it is much better than no rest at all.

After resting with his eyes closed for about five hours, Hardy opened his eyes and went downstairs.

Then I saw the hotel owner walking back from outside with his daughter. He was carrying a big bag on his back, and his little daughter was holding a piece of dough or something in her hand, eating it in small bites with a very happy look on her face.

"Sir, are you awake?" the middle-aged man asked with a polite smile.

Hadi smiled and said, "Yes, I want to walk around. Are there any taboos in this town?"

"Not really, but be careful when you go outside of town. The lizardmen in the north have been causing trouble for us."

"Thank you."

Hardy nodded and left.

He could see that the middle-aged man used the piece of dried meat to exchange for a large bag of food.

This is normal. Although the jerky is valuable, it is eaten up very quickly.

If it is grain, boil it into a batter and eat it slowly. It can be eaten for a long time.

This is the way life should be lived.

The world is still very dark and the weather is cold.

But it didn't drop to the point of freezing, just close.

Occasionally, there were people walking on the street, but they were in a hurry. Some children came in from outside holding some dry grass and dead wood.

I think it is used for heating.

The clothes of each child were tattered, most of them were shoeless, and their feet were covered with overlapping black scars.

These are the marks of icterus.

Hardy walked around and finally arrived at the entrance of the town.

At the place where the battle took place yesterday, most of the human and lizardman corpses were taken away.

But there were still a few people squatting there, seemingly doing something.

Hardy used his dim vision to look over and found that they were using stone knives that were not too sharp to cut up the bodies of several lizardmen.

They put the cut meat and offal into the basket beside them.

One person even picked up a piece of meat and started eating it on the spot.

It looked quite barbaric, but Hardy thought it was normal.

Not to mention that in this world without the sun, there is no "output" anymore and there are hungry people everywhere.

It’s good enough that cannibalism didn’t occur, so what’s wrong with eating some lizardmen!
Besides, Hardy could see that the lizardmen came here to hunt humans, so it was only natural for humans to "eat" them back.

Hardy stood there and watched for a while, then heard footsteps behind him.

He turned around and saw the old man Moklang walking towards him.

"Sir Hardy, you are here."

"Are you looking for me?" Hardy asked curiously.

The old man smiled, walked over, stood with Hadi, and said, "Don't blame them. There is really no other way. We can't waste any food."

Hardy was a little surprised. The old man seemed to be quite "afraid" of him.

Then I understood that Mekron still considered himself a 'Rida', a member of the royal family.

All intelligent races in the demon world are under the management of the royal family. Logically, the royal family should prohibit intelligent races from eating each other.

Hadi didn't say anything, but just asked: "Old man, do you think this world can still be saved?"

"Of course." Moklang smiled and said, "With the royal family leading us, there is certainly hope for salvation. And I heard that the Laussel royal family is ready to raise the throne of the sun god to the sky again. Soon, our world will become warm again, and all things will grow."

The Laussel royal family holds the throne of the sun god? Shouldn't it be Aya?
It seems that the timeline has not reached that stage yet, maybe I can do something. He thought for a while and asked, "Old man, do you have a map of this area? I often get lost."

"Yes!" Moklang nodded.

As the mayor, he still has a topographic map of the surrounding area.

Generally speaking, maps are one of the important strategic "resources" of a region and will not be shown to others casually.

But Mekron thought Hadi was a member of the Rida family, so he was not wary at all.

"Please follow me, sir."

Hardy followed Mekron to his home again. In the study, the old man took out a yellowed parchment map from a drawer.

The map is very rough, with just a few icons indicating what areas are nearby.

But for Hardy, that was enough.

After looking at it for a while, he returned the map to the old man and gave him a piece of dried meat as a reward: "Thank you."

"Meat……"

The old man originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing the dried meat, he took it somehow.

He and his wife haven't tasted meat for more than a year.

After all, he wouldn't eat the corpse of a lizard man.

After leaving the mayor's house, Hardy did not leave in a hurry, but continued to wander around the town and inquire about information nearby.

Four days passed quickly.

During this period, he got to know a lot of information which should be considered important.

For example, the plan of the Laussel royal family to ascend to the throne of God will be carried out in more than a year.

The reason why the entire demon world knows about this is very simple. In such a harsh environment, all intelligent creatures need "hope".

And holding high the throne of the sun god is the hope of the entire demon race.

The more people know about this, the more stable the demon world will be.

Another piece of news that Hardy was more concerned about was that the Evil Eye Tribe had been exiled.

Because they are the main culprits who caused the death of the Sun God, the entire Evil Eye Clan is now wanted by everyone.

The Evil Eye Clan has now left their original residence and scattered in all directions.

In the valley next to the Lizardman camp, a tribe of evil eyes settled there.

The evil eye tribe?
The Evil Eye Clan of this era are true scientists and great wizards.

If it weren't for the long-term unrest that led to the loss of a large amount of their technology, the Evil Eye Tribe would definitely have the potential to surpass the Elves and become the strongest race.

Hardy was quite interested and wanted to trade some spells of this era from the Evil Eye Tribe.

As a semi-researcher, Hardy is also very interested in new magical theories.

"Then go and have a look."

Hardy nodded, left the town, and headed north.

After walking for more than four hours, he found the lizardmen's residence, a group of rickety little thatched houses and some strange square earthen houses.

Hardy did not alarm the lizardmen, but bypassed them and headed east.

Then he came to a valley and stopped there.

Since arriving here, he has already sensed a powerful source of magic in the valley.

The other party seemed to have discovered Hardy and was "walking" towards here.

Half a minute later, a huge eyeball appeared in the air in front of Hardy.

"Humanity?"

"Why are there such powerful humans!" (End of this chapter)
