Chapter 390: Chapter 208: People from Two Worlds
Unfortunately, compared to other Professions, the Knight Profession was a bit weak offensively. Aside from a few special Skills, it was difficult to level up quickly by grinding monsters.
Moreover, compared to other Professions, leveling up as a Knight was also relatively less useful.
’After all, when I can kill you in one hit and am fast enough that you can’t even touch me, Constitution isn’t all that useful.’
That said, he still had to level it up. He would eventually encounter more troublesome opponents. In a true high-level, head-to-head battle, Constitution could be the key Attribute.
The villagers’ crisis was averted, but the cleanup would still take some time.
Feney was hastily helping heal the villagers, but she definitely couldn’t handle it all by herself. Lin Mo joined in to help with the Healing.
The only trouble was, because his Healing Technique skill was already at Full Level, he could no longer gain Skill Level by casting the ordinary Healing Technique.
Fortunately, its upgraded version, [Great Healing Skill], wasn’t a strictly single-target skill. Lin Mo had two or three of the wounded lean against each other and directly cast a [Great Healing Skill], instantly healing them all.
It couldn’t be helped; having strong Magic Power was the decisive factor. Lin Mo’s Magic Attribute was simply too high—it had completely reached the Elite Level. Since these villagers were just Ordinary people, his [Great Healing Skill] could instantly heal them as long as they were still breathing.
After a long while, once all the wounded had been treated, the village chief of Falling Leaves Village finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked toward the Adventurers who had come to help, preparing to thank them.
His gaze first fell on Lin Mo, and he froze.
He clearly remembered that face. Not long ago, this very Adventurer had saved their village during a Goblin invasion.
But compared to back then, the Adventurer had changed so much that the chief almost didn’t recognize him.
It wasn’t until he saw Alton and the other members of the Bull Run Squad to the side that he was finally certain. He tremblingly grasped Lin Mo’s hand and said, "It’s you again! Thank you for saving the people of Falling Leaves Village once more!"
At his words, the villagers behind him also began to remember.
"It’s him..."
"I remember, I remember! He’s the one who saved me from the Goblins!"
"He seems to have changed a lot since then."
"He’s gotten stronger, and more handsome."
"And it looks like he has more girls around him..."
"Of course! He’s so excellent. If I were a girl, I’d be happy to follow him too."
"You? Forget it. Even if you were a girl, that would just be doing him a disservice..."
The atmosphere among the villagers instantly became lively, and much of the gloom from being chased by Goblins dissipated.
A little girl of about twelve or thirteen excitedly ran up to Lin Mo. "Thank you, Big Brother! You saved Nainai and everyone else again..."
Lin Mo remembered her. She seemed to be the village chief’s granddaughter and was one of the children who had been abducted by Goblins before. He and Flora had rescued her back then.
He casually patted her head and gave a small smile.
"When there’s danger, I’ll be there."
"Mhm!"
The girl’s eyes, shining brightly, were filled with adoration as she looked at him and nodded emphatically.
Choosing not to linger, Lin Mo and his group rested briefly before bidding the villagers farewell and continuing toward Roland Town.
Night was when the Goblins’ attacks were most ferocious; they had to travel through the night to provide support.
As for the villagers, to avoid any further Goblin harassment, they could only remain in the cave and wait for the incident to be completely over.
Fortunately, the village chief had planned for this, having arranged for the villagers to make preparations and stockpile a good amount of food. As long as they weren’t threatened by a Goblin Army, they would have no problem surviving for a short time.
"Goodbye, Big Brother..."
The girl named Nainai waved reluctantly, her gaze fixed on his figure until his back was completely swallowed by the deep darkness. Only then did she lower her head, a sense of loss washing over her.
The old village chief watched his granddaughter, wanting to say something but stopping short.
Nainai was a sensible child; there was no need to repeat the hard truths of the world to her.
’They are from two different worlds, after all...’
"There’s one more village to pass through before we reach Roland Town."
Lin Mo glanced at the map he had bought a while back.
He hadn’t thrown the map away after arriving in Silver Stream City, but had kept it. Now, it was proving useful again.
The group boarded the carriage and rushed toward the second village at top speed.
This village wasn’t particularly far from Falling Leaves Village, so they arrived at their destination quickly.
This village was in a much more difficult situation than Falling Leaves Village. Looking from a distance, the ground was covered in red and black bloodstains, and the village’s buildings were severely damaged. Goblins could be seen roaming the streets and alleys, most of them brandishing mangled human limbs or chunks of flesh as if they were trophies.
Lania City and the Lawrence Clan had adopted a completely different strategy from Silver Stream City. When faced with the Goblin invasion, Silver Stream City had chosen to first relocate the scattered rural residents into the main city and towns, minimizing the areas that needed to be defended.
