The hunter swallowed the venison in big mouthfuls, stood up and began to lead the way. Aglaia put away her wand, whistled, and followed him.

Didn't go far.

The hunter's ears pricked up and his nose twitched. He took out his wand and stared at the snow in the distance warily. After staring for a long time, he didn't see anything really going wrong. He curiously asked Aglaia,

"Did you hear anything?"

Aglaia shook her head, "No."

"It's strange, I seem to hear something."

The hunter muttered something and continued on his way.

Aglaia breathed a sigh of relief and made a subtle gesture to the snow. A transparent figure in the distance stopped moving, and the subtle sound of stepping on the snow disappeared.

She was certainly not a fool and did not want to follow a stranger rashly. But now Fadil was in danger, and even if there was a problem, she had to take the risk and try it.

Fortunately, she has a green dragon that can become invisible. The whistle just now was to call the green dragon to her side. Although her mental state is not very good, now is not the time to worry about it. If something goes wrong later, she

There is also capital for self-protection.

An hour later, Aglaia followed the hunter to a village in the woods. This area was surrounded by wooden fences, and the snow on the ground had been shoveled clean, making it look quite tidy.

In the snow, there are some neat vegetable fields and wooden houses, which look like a country village. Vegetables such as radish and cabbage are grown on the vegetable fields.

Under some oak trees, there were some men and women wearing thick leather coats sitting around the fire, putting their hands on the fire to keep warm. There were probably dozens of them.

There was food on some of the fires. When these people saw Aglaia coming, they did not show any surprise or other special expressions on their faces.

The tension in Aglaia's heart subsided slightly. This place looked like a peaceful country village, very quiet. It seemed that the hunter in front of her was unlikely to be a bad person.

"Are you all wizards?"

Aglaia asked the hunter.

"Ah, they are all."

The hunter replied briefly, "We are all wizards."

"With so many wizards, do you live here?"

"Yes."

The hunter replied: "I am the leader here."

Aglaia was very surprised. This place was in the wilderness of northern Scotland, completely far away from any mainstream city. He wondered how anyone could stay in such a place where birds didn't shit.

While talking, they came to the door of a small wooden house.

"Do you want to go in with me to get it?"

The hunter asked, standing in front of the cabin door.

Aglaia shook her head, "No need, I'll just wait for you here."

She had no intention of entering someone else's house, let alone the house of a strange man she had only met once.

The hunter didn't say much and entered the house by himself.

Aglaia stood outside and looked at the village. Gradually, she felt something strange. People coming and going in the village had a strange expression on their faces, numb, relaxed, comfortable, and even a little too quiet.

and decadence.

This makes Aglaia, who has been with dragons for so long, not used to it. When getting along with dragons, dragons are always wary of themselves and always want to challenge themselves. She has to be prepared to deal with challenges at any time, even when sleeping.

She didn't dare to turn her belly up when she was in bed. As for being decadent, she didn't dare to do it at all...

Not long after, the hunter who entered the house came out. He came out with a pair of medicine and handed it over. Aglaia took it and saw that it was Bai Xian, and it was a standard medicine.

This made her feel relieved and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The nerves that had been suppressed and tense for a long time were relaxed. With the medicine, it meant that Fadiel could get better treatment and could easily return to Hogwarts.

.

"Thank you."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and wanted to quickly return along the original path.

"Wait a moment."

The hunter asked calmly behind her:

"Aren't you going to pay something?"

Aglaia smacked her head and secretly cursed herself for being confused. She had obviously agreed to pay for the medicine before, but as soon as she got the medicine, she forgot everything. She quickly reached into her pocket and took out a handful of ginseng.

Long. handed it over.

"No, there's no need to look for these."

She said generously. In terms of money, she is relatively confident. The white berries are not a precious medicinal material. The money can buy ten pieces of white berries in the hospital.

But after the hunter looked down at the money, he showed a somewhat disappointed expression and shook his head.

"That's not okay."

Aglaia was stunned, held up the golden gallons, and counted them.

"Uh... don't you have enough money? I only have so much."

The hunter shook his head, "No, we don't need money."

Aglaia was stunned: "What?"

"What do you need money for?"

The hunter pointed around, "As you can see, our village is free of money. We live the simplest farming and hunting life. All resources are distributed uniformly and all conditions are shared. For us, gold galleons are

It’s useless.”

"Money...money is useless!!?"

Aglaia was shocked. Are these people living in a vacuum?

Looking at Aglaia's stunned eyes, the hunter smiled:

"Those people outside are fighting and killing for some gold coins. We don't want to live that kind of life."

Aglaia didn't say anything for a long time. She had never encountered this kind of thing before. After being stunned for a long time, she said, "Okay, how can you give me the medicine?"

"Oh, it's easy."

The hunter smiled and said, "Everything in our village is shared. As long as you join our village, you can deploy all the resources here."

"that's all?"

Aglaia looked at the fresh food in her hand with some disbelief.

The hunter nodded, "That's it."

Aglaia was hesitant: "Just agree verbally."

"yes."

"Then what obligations do I have to fulfill?"

"You can share what you have with us, that's enough."

Aglaia always felt something was strange. Although she was full of doubts, she still nodded when she thought of her father who was still dying in the snow.

"Okay, I promise you, I can share something with you in the future."

The hunter glanced at her, pulled out his wand and pointed it in the air.

Aglaia felt her arm heat up slightly. A red flame mark appeared on her wrist.

"What is this?" she asked with a frown.

"Beacon."

The hunter opened his clothes, revealing a flame symbol on the muscles of his arm.

"Everyone in our village has one for easy contact."

"Okay, let's get in touch then."

After saying that, she walked out of the village without looking back. As she walked, she secretly wondered if these people were out of their minds. They didn't need money, shared all resources, and were living in a dream...

Return to the abandoned cabin.

At this moment, the fire was almost extinguished. Fatil was leaning against the fire, curled up in a ball, twitching. He was probably having a nightmare, and he kept muttering: "Don't... don't let go."

.....don't let go...don't let go..."

Aglaia touched her father's head and it was frighteningly hot.

She quickly took out the medicine and tried to apply it to her father.

Suddenly, Fatir was startled and grabbed Aglaia's wrist with his fingers like iron hooks. He opened his eyes and said in a daze: "I'm sorry... I can't help it... I really

I have no choice but to choose one..."

Aglaia was in pain, opened Fatil's palm with all her strength, and slapped him on the face.

Fatir woke up a little from his nightmare. After he saw the person in front of him clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, his pupils became dilated, and he fell to the ground again, motionless, and fell into a drowsy state.
