Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

"Who is he?" Just as Lin Yi walked into the cave, a young girl quietly emerged from the shadows.

Her long brown hair was casually tied behind her head, and a few strands of hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

The bow and arrow in the girl's hand was already stretched to the limit and ready to be fired. The silver-white arrow head flashed a sharp cold light under the flickering light of the torch.

The girl slowly walked up to Dewey and Thor, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Snow, put down your bow and arrow. He is not an enemy. He is a member of the Silent Mourning Society."

"Really?" There was a hint of doubt in Snow's voice.

"Don't worry, the aura of the Holy Father of Truth on him cannot be faked."

Under Thor's persuasion, Snow's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

She signaled Dewey to quickly re-seal the huge rock at the entrance of the cave to ensure the safety of the cave.

However, the two men left a tiny gap, which could not only maintain air circulation and allow fresh air to continuously enter the cave, but also prevent intrusion from the outside world and avoid sudden intrusion by enemies or wild beasts.

There is only one entrance to this cave, so it must be well defended.

In order to prevent uninvited guests or the Temple Army from sneaking in, the villagers specially divided a team to guard the entrance of the cave closely.

Not only are they responsible for guarding and keeping a close eye on every move outside the cave, they also have to pay attention to any movement around them. Even the slightest sound of a branch breaking or the tiniest footsteps can alert them.

"Come out."

Snow waved behind him, and then several villagers armed with weapons walked out cautiously, looking Lin Yi up and down with vigilant eyes.

Even though Thor had vouched for Lin Yi, these people still had an unconcealable distrust on their faces.

Thor tried to ease the situation, so he asked, "How are the others? Are they feeling better?"

Thor stretched out his rough, calloused hands and laboriously untied a skinny rabbit from behind.

The rabbit hung limply in his hand, its fur dull and lifeless.

Since the arrival of the Templars, the entire snowy mountain area has suffered an unprecedented disaster.

The once lush olive forest has now turned into a dead forest. As a result, animals have lost their sufficient food source, making survival increasingly difficult.

Under such harsh conditions, hunting becomes increasingly challenging even for experienced local hunters like Thor.

The prey that was easily captured in the past is now hard to find.

"Thor is worthy of his name. He can hunt rabbits in such a difficult environment. It's a pity that our food reserves are almost gone, and the village was burned down by those bastards from the Templar Army." Snow licked his dry lips, and a desire for meat flashed in his eyes.

She hasn't eaten meat for a long time, but there are still patients in the cave, so the meat will definitely be given to those sick people first.

Reason eventually overcame desire. Snow took a deep breath and suppressed the desire in his heart.

Lin Yi followed Snow deeper into the cave, and he found that the villagers had carved out some small caves on both sides of the cave with great difficulty.

The caves were uneven, obviously dug out bit by bit by the villagers using the most primitive tools.

Each family simply divides up its own narrow living space.

In these difficult times, being alive is a great luxury, how could you ask for more?

In this cramped space, people are trying hard to maintain hope in life.

As Lin Yi continued to move forward, he suddenly smelled a hint of plague.

Continuing to walk forward along the passage in the cave, Lin Yi discovered that the holes dug on both sides of the cave were uninhabited.

After walking forward about a hundred meters, Lin Yi could faintly hear moaning sounds lingering in his ears.

Walking to the end of the cave, Lin Yi discovered that there was a clear spring hidden here. The sound of gurgling water added a touch of vitality to the dark cave.

Near the spring, there were more than twenty patients lying.

These people were lying on the ground, wailing in pain, their faces were haggard and their bodies were weak.

But compared to the people in the village that Lin Yi had seen outside the town before, the situation seemed to be much better.

Because those who are really seriously ill often don't even have the strength to groan. The plague will ruthlessly drain their physical strength and leave them in silent struggle.

The people here at least still have the strength to make a sound, which means their condition is not too serious.

"how is the situation?"

Snow saw everyone wailing, squatted on the ground and held the hand of a patient.

Snow was also a patient before, but she recovered some time ago, so she was not afraid of being infected with the plague again.

"It's okay, but maybe everyone eats too little, so the recovery is still too slow." A girl who was in charge of taking care of the patients responded.

The girl, wearing a linen dress, took a pot of hot water from the stove nearby and put some white garlic cloves in it.

She then carefully gave the hot water to the patient.

Lin Yi noticed that after the patient drank the hot water, his groans became much less severe.

When Lin Yi walked up to the girl, she looked a little flustered.

She rarely interacted with strangers, so after seeing Lin Yi, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but just pointed at the garlic cloves in the girl's hand and asked if she could give him some.

"This? Sorry, I can't give it to you for now. Everyone still needs it to treat diseases." Madeline shook her head. If it were any other time, she would have given it away. A few herbs were not worth much.

But in this difficult period of food and clothing shortage, every resource is precious.

Lin Yi felt a little helpless after hearing this. The next second, group purification and group healing techniques were released from Lin Yi's hands.

The patient who was originally lying on the ground and groaning suddenly felt that his headache was gone, his body was no longer hot, and his lungs felt much more comfortable.

When Madeline saw these patients crawling up from the ground, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

At this time, Lin Yi extended his hand to Madeline again. Since the patients had recovered, the medicine should be able to be given to him.

"Did you do it?"

Madeline asked in disbelief.

Although Lin Yi wanted to complain in his heart, "What else?", but considering his own personality, he just nodded lightly as a response.

"Here, here, all of these are for you."

Madeline handed all the medicinal herbs in the bag to Lin Yi, and then began to check everyone's physical condition one by one.

Lin Yi looked through the package handed over by Madeline and found more than twenty heads of fragrant garlic inside.

Just then, Snow came running over from the kitchen.

She saw at a glance that the patients who were lying on the ground had all stood up. Everyone looked refreshed, even more energetic than her, a healthy person.

"Madeline, what's going on? Why are everyone suddenly well?" Snow was a little confused, but she felt sincerely happy to see that everyone had recovered.

Madeline told Snow everything that had just happened.

At this moment, Lin Yi was leaning against the wall, concentrating on observing the fragrant garlic in his hand.

Lin Yi discovered that the composition of this garlic is very complex and has extremely high research value.

He decided to keep some garlic and try to cultivate it when he returned to see if he could develop more useful reagents.

Snow walked up to Lin Yi and handed him a string of dried bacon. Although there was a shortage of food in the cave, she still wanted to do her best to express her gratitude.

Lin Yi waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. The next second, a big fat pig weighing more than 300 pounds appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi made a few gestures. Although Snow had never learned sign language, she understood the general meaning through intuition and guesswork - Lin Yi hoped that this meal would be more hearty.

"Don't worry, my cooking skills are well-known in the village." Snow said confidently, "If I don't let you go back alive today, I will lose. Ah Da and Ah Er, come quickly and help me move this pig to the kitchen."

As Snow shouted, two patrolling soldiers quickly ran over.

When they saw the fat pig, a glimmer of desire flashed in their eyes.

Obviously, they haven't tasted meat for a long time.

An hour later, everyone had gathered in the open space at the deepest part of the cave.

What was different from before was that the despair on people's faces had dissipated a lot.

The children began to play happily. Normally, their parents would ask them to reduce their activities to save energy, but today with the abundant food, everyone relaxed and let the children play to their heart's content.

The patients also sat together with their family members whom they had not seen for a long time and chatted happily.

The whole cave is filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

Lin Yi sat quietly on the blanket made of animal skin.

This blanket was specially taken out by a soldier from his cave to express their gratitude to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not refuse this kindness. He took out some tools and began to concentrate on maintaining the black and white rose in his hand.

Now the origin of life of the Black and White Rose has reached 100%, and the origin of death has reached 98% after killing the guardian.

During this process, Lin Yi discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Because people in this world have suffered for a long time, their negative emotions are extremely strong.

However, when the black and white rose absorbed these negative emotions, it actually showed a state of joy.

"We haven't been this happy for a long time. Ever since the Temple Army came here a few years ago, people seem to have lost hope."

Thor looked at everyone talking and laughing, as if he had returned to the time several years ago when the village still existed.

Although everyone lived in poverty at that time, at least they had enough food and drink.

With such a large olive grove, even the poorest families can occasionally go to the forest to catch some small animals to improve their lives.

"Your target is the monastery on the snowy mountain, right? I hope you can give this thing to Olya after you get there."

Thor carefully took off a pendant from his neck, which contained a photo.

Lin Yi found that the technological level of this world was really weird. Most of the time, it gave people the feeling that it was even more backward than the Middle Ages, but the other party would just take out a photo and give it to him.

"Brother Thor, have you not forgotten that annoying woman?"

Dewey, who was standing by, showed a look of disgust when he saw the photo on the pendant in Thor's hand.

Not only Dewey, but several civilians around him also looked unhappy after seeing the photo of Olivia in Thor's hand. Some of the more straightforward people even said it was bad luck.

"Olia is innocent too."

"Innocent? If it weren't for her, the Templars would never have come to our remote place."

"Alright, alright, be quiet, Dewey. You too, Thor. What are you trying to do by taking out the photo of Olya at this time? Are you afraid that the chaos won't be big enough?"

Snow heard the quarrel between several people and came over to smooth things over.

Dewey didn't say much. He stood up and found a few more people to continue chatting.

After more than ten minutes, Snow came out with a big pot of fragrant pork stew.

Although the conditions were simple, she tried her best.

The civilians didn't care about this. They couldn't even get enough food on weekdays, and now they had the chance to eat meat, they were all extremely excited.

Snow methodically asked everyone to take their bowls and chopsticks and served the food to everyone one by one.

People took their own portion and enjoyed it with big mouthfuls.

Lin Yi did not step forward. The dish Snow made had too little seasoning. To him, it was almost like boiled meat in plain water. He really did not have an appetite.

"Sorry, I forgot you might not have any bowls and chopsticks. If you don't mind, I have another set here. You can use them."
