Chapter 14 The Village Stranger Things

On the day when the summer vacation began, Zhaohua's family drove a car powered by magic energy to Lu County. Zhaohua's family would return to their hometown at this time every year, and their houses were still in their hometown.

The development of Lu County is not as backward as imagined. Although there are no elevator bungalows with a height of more than a dozen floors, they are all two or three-story houses or individual houses, not thatched houses.

Lu County still lives with the village as the boundary. Basically, this street is surnamed Li, that street is surnamed Hong, and the one next to it is xx. Zhaohua’s Zhaojia Village is just in the county seat. The middle position can be reached by driving a few turns.

"Little wolf, you're finally back." An old man rubbing his cane and walking enthusiastically walked over and patted Zhaolang on the shoulder, feeling very relieved.

Zhao Fang, the old head of Zhaojia Village, really watched Zhao Lang grow up. Both of Zhaolang's parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating and wearing a variety of clothes. It is naturally for this reason that he comes back every year.

"Village chief, I'm back, how are you all?" Zhaolang clapped the old village chief's wrinkled hand to warm it up.

"Okay, okay, the current Zhaojia Village is the largest village in Lu County, it's okay. Xiaotian, you call everyone out, Zhaolang's family is back." The old village chief pointed to his side and supported his middle-aged The young man said.

Akita, the son of the village head, is the successor of the village head. Now Akita handles the general affairs.

Zhaotian nodded. Zhaolang is the glory of their village. He is the only mage in the whole village. At the beginning, no one thought that a child who grew up eating a lot of food would eventually become a majestic mage. I heard that everyone in the city is number one.

The most important thing is that because of Zhaolang, their Zhaojia Village has developed rapidly, and every household has built a new house and lived a good life.

Due to the geographical location of Lu County, the military mages from Congcheng are stationed here, and it is a relatively important military stronghold. Military mages don't live in the county, they all live in the mountains and have established military bases on the mountains. Because of this, the procurement of supplies has become a big problem, which naturally gave birth to the profession of delivering supplies to military mages.

Because Zhaolang is a sorcerer, with such a relationship, Zhaojia Village contracted to deliver supplies to the military sorcerer. Although going up the mountain is dangerous, and you may encounter monsters who slipped through the net, you can't stand the money.

People make money and birds die for food. This principle works in any world.

In the evening, after dinner, in the center of the village, the villagers of Zhaojia Village are surrounded by a basketball court. This basketball court was built only last year. It used to be a place for the villagers to chat at night.

Now there are even street lights in the village, and the boys in the village will come here to play basketball at night, but today this basketball court is back to the essence, gathering people to chat.

Father and son Zhaohua and Zhaolang sat in the middle of the basketball court, and the old village chief sat aside. This is what they do every year, asking everyone in the village to talk about some problems or strange things they have encountered recently.

Let Zhaolang analyze and find out the reason. Because some monsters sneaked into the village to eat people before, if Zhaolang hadn’t just come back and heard some villagers say that some strange things had happened, Zhaolang would have known how many people would have died.

In the past, Zhaohua was always listening on the sidelines, but this year he is already a mage, Zhaolang plans to let Zhaohua handle it, and he himself will assist in the sidelines, so as to exercise Zhaohua's ability to deal with monsters.

"Oh, Xiaohua, you've awakened too. You're doing well. You are worthy of being the son of Little Wolf. Father Tiger has no sons. Which department has Xiaohua awakened?" The old village chief heard Zhaolang say that his son had also become a mage. Even more happy, as if looking at his grandson, smiling.

"Awakened Summoning System."

"Summoning!!!!" A boy who was about Zhao Hua's age suddenly jumped up and screamed.

He stared at Zhaohua with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief.

"Ah Chao, what are you doing? It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. Sit down quickly." Zhaotian scolded this young man named Zhaochao. From the name, it is not difficult to tell that Zhaochao is his son. One year old, studying in the junior high school of No. 6 Middle School in Congcheng, and just graduated this year, very hopeful to become a mage.

The other villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at each other. What kind of duck is the summoning system? Isn't it just water, fire, thunder, and earth? It turns out that there is also a summoning system.

This place is too far away. Although the village has already connected to the Internet, the villagers do not use the Internet. Some people who no longer study also come out to farm early or go to the Internet cafe to play games, and go to the billiard room to play billiards. A powerful mage doesn't care who or what is awakened.

Except for Zhaochao, the same scholar who knows what the Summoning Department is, but Zhaochao lives in the city. He doesn't like life in the countryside. He basically stays in the city. , so it was only when I was very young that I probably knew that I had a cousin who was very good at reading and was one year older than myself. I didn't know that it was this cousin who awakened the Summoning Department.

"You...you are the genius mage who awakened the summoning system!?" Zhaochao looked at Zhaohua and asked in surprise. No one knew how shocked he was, because he had always regarded Zhaohua as an idol, I didn't expect it to be my cousin.

Zhaohua smiled and said shyly: "I dare not be a genius mage, but I am indeed the one who awakened the summoning system."

Zhaotian walked to his son and asked in a low voice, "Why, is this summoning system very powerful?"

Zhao Chao nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"Then can you also awaken a Summoner?"

Zhaochao felt bitter when he heard his father's words. He knew his own business. He could indeed pass the high school entrance examination and awaken to become a mage, but he just went back to No. 6 Middle School. Going to No. 1 Middle School was too difficult, almost impossible.

And Zhaotian didn't know the specifics in the countryside, he knew it himself. In the entire city from ancient times to the present, except for Zhaohua, no one has awakened the summoning system. He has awakened the summoning system? I dare not even dream of doing this.

Dong dong, the old village head's crutches tapped the floor twice: "Zhaohua is a mage and we are all very happy. You two brothers can walk around together for a while and get in touch with each other. Zhaohua can also take his cousin with him. , let him avoid detours. But let’s talk about everyone’s affairs.”

Zhaohua nodded and agreed to the old village head. Although his own magic path was not going very smoothly, he was happy to chat with his cousin.

"I, I, I, let me talk about it first, I feel that there are demons appearing near my house." An aunt dressed as a village woman came over and said.

"It's been a long time. Every night, late at night, I always hear some strange noises outside the house. Every time I go out to look, I don't see anyone."

Hearing what the village woman and aunt said, several people stood up and said that the same thing happened in their own home. They thought it was auditory hallucinations, but they happened every few days, and it made people panic.

Zhaohua thought for a while, and since his father told him to try to deal with it, he asked, "Village Chief, the Hunter Alliance recently issued a notice asking everyone to be careful and not to go out?"

First of all, Zhaohua needs to understand the situation. If the Hunter Alliance has issued a notice to let people in the village go out as little as possible, it means that there are indeed monsters who escaped from the defense line in the mountain, and they have not been caught yet.

The old village head shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of it, and the villagers have reported this problem to me several times, but because no one was injured, and no one saw any monsters, so we have nothing to do. People who came to look at it did not find any traces of demons."

This kind of situation is mostly caused by some wild dogs, but Zhaohua intends to go to the homes of a few villagers to have a look before making a conclusion.
