For Xu Jun, a small village naturally had its own cute features. For a poor village like Golden Fruit Village, the entrance to the village was a narrow path that was even more difficult to walk than in the wild. The village was surrounded by a fence that was half the height of a person. It was made of sharpened wooden sticks and buried deep into the ground. It could be used to defend against attacks from wild boars and jackals.
These wooden sticks were also incomplete. Some of the tips had been rounded, and naughty children were playing with them.
The villagers looked at Xu Jun and his party with hopeful eyes. In their view, Xu Jun was completely different from those who came to the village in the past. The people who came to Golden Fruit Village were either merchants who came to buy Golden Fruit or adventurers. Occasionally, some noble knights would pass by, accompanied by a few beautiful noble ladies who wanted to see the Golden Fruit Trees. These people were either shrewd and calculative. They could haggle over the price of a kilogram of Golden Fruit all day, or they were so high-spirited that they were arrogant. Of course, the villagers here did not know the word high-spirited. They just had this feeling.
"Are they adventurers?"
"— Maybe they are merchants?"
"No, no, no. Maybe they are knights?"
A few village girls were whispering. One of them stared at Rance. When Rance felt her gaze, he looked back. The girl blushed.
The black guy Rance was confused. "???"
Xu Jun put his arm around the young Frost Dragon's shoulder and said, "It's okay. The girls think you are cute, so they look at you. Don't take it to heart."
— — Tired. If only this Rance was as old as him. But this child looks 14 years old, but is actually only 4 years old! Little sisters, be a little more reserved!
Tsk, I am still a single dog, but I have to worry about the puppy love of a naughty child. That's enough.
"Next, let's go to the village chief and see if we can accept a mission," Xu Jun said to Steamed Bun. "I will buy you some Golden Fruit. I remember you like it, right?"
Steamed Bun recalled the taste of the Golden Fruit that he had eaten a long time ago. At that time, Xu Jun was already a strong warrior who had gone to many places. At least, he could afford the Golden Fruit that was very expensive in the southern part of the Golden Banner. Steamed Bun also ate a lot of Golden Fruit and got sick of it. The last batch of Golden Fruit seemed to have all been made into a fruit salad by Xu Jun?
At that time, Steamed Bun ate a lot but didn't think it was delicious. Now, thinking of the sweet and sour fruit salad, Steamed Bun's saliva was almost drooling....
Steamed Steamed Bun.............................................................................................
. Jess, the unicorn boy, who was pushed to the back, was speechless...
..........................................,.,,,,,,,
... Although Rance was a little brat, he didn't have the intention of competing for Xu Jun's favor. The little boy, who was only a head shorter than Xu Jun, pounced forward and hugged Xu Jun's waist. He also acted like a spoiled child and said, "Daddy, I want to eat too."
Xu Jun directly ignored the boy's "Daddy". Now, he took care of Rance like a big brother taking care of a little brother. He didn't find this child annoying. After all, he had seen some really naughty children who were much more willful and spoiled than Rance in the modern world.
In contrast, Rance was very cute.
"Okay, okay. You eat too." Xu Jun said perfunctorily. In his mind, he thought, "Why would a frost dragon like you eat fruit? Aren't you all carnivorous magical beasts?"
This made Jess look very sad, being left behind by himself.
But he had lived for thousands of years and was very good at dispelling his loneliness. So Jess followed behind unhurriedly … and began to admire Steamed Bun's body, especially his butt.
Steamed Bun subconsciously wagged his tail.
In a small village like this, there would be a town hall. The village hall was usually used to mediate the family affairs of a village or town. If a couple didn't get along well, or if a child ran away from home, it would be pulled to the village hall to talk about it. In the case of Golden Fruit Garden Village, the so-called "village hall" was just a spacious and bright mud house with a sheep pen at the back. It seemed that this place had become the village elder's home. The small vegetable garden at the entrance of the village hall had also become the village elder's private plot of land.
A group of cavalrymen came from Mundama City in the north. They were all riding tall horses and wearing shiny armor. The leader was even more handsome and had a beautiful physique. They were the "noble knights" from the north.
After the knight at the front entered the village, he looked at the bumpy dirt road in the village with a troubled expression. He took off his helmet and jumped off his horse. After asking two villagers for directions, he went straight to the village hall.
The rest of the knights were divided into two groups and guarded the entrance of the village hall. Although they were young, they all looked solemn, as if they were carrying out a serious mission.
Unfortunately, with their backs to the sheep pen and facing the village elder's small vegetable garden, they didn't have any sense of dignity at all.
The weather was still hot, and flies were dancing above the knights' heads.
The village hall was silent for a long time. No one knew what they were talking about. The villagers who came and went were only secretly watching the knights. Xu Jun and the others walked over and heard a very angry voice coming from the village hall. "How can you do this?!"
"Is it the mission that Golden Fruit Garden Village issued in the Antler Bar in Mundama? Kill the surrounding gnolls, and each gnoll will be charged two gold coins. Is it you who issued the mission? Why don't you admit it? "
— — Gnolls? The villagers of Golden Fruit Garden Village looked at each other. That was two or three years ago. At that time, a group of gnolls came to the small forest near the village and robbed the hunters of Golden Fruit Garden Village of their prey. When there was no food to eat in the winter, they came to rob the village. The village also had militia, but they couldn't beat these gnolls with thick skin. They had no choice but to go to the city and ask for help. The mayor approved, but the people under him were slow. One day, they would send people, and the next day, they would send people, but in the end, they only sent a few small groups of soldiers and left without even going into the mountains.
After that, the village elder helplessly took ten gold coins to the Antler Bar to issue the mission, but there was no follow-up.
However, it was said that these gnolls had their eyes on the richer Kana Village in the east. They slowly moved there and rarely came to harass Golden Fruit Garden Village.
The villagers whispered about this in a low voice. They didn't dare to let the knights hear them, and they didn't even dare to ask the militia for help. The hierarchy of this world was much stricter than the modern world where Xu Jun lived, and the villagers of Golden Fruit Garden were at the bottom of the human civilization.
Xu Jun looked left and right, and keenly smelled the scent of an incident.
Oh, maybe it will trigger an even bigger mission!
He patted Steamed Bun, and Steamed Bun immediately understood. It was time to work again!
Yes, for Steamed Bun, it was his job to carry Xu Jun to the mission location.
Steamed Bun liked to work! He was a young moonlight foal with a very adventurous spirit and a strong sense of work!
The young knight guarding the door checked Xu Jun's knight badge and let him in without hesitation. However, Steamed Bun, Rance, Jess, and the others were left outside. It seemed that the young knight who was the leader of the remaining knights was a little uneasy. "Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."
Steamed Bun ignored them and ran to the sheep pen to watch the group of long-haired sheep eating grass. He couldn't help but grab a few stalks of grass to eat.
The long-haired sheep glared at him angrily. You're a free horse, and you're stealing food from us! Staff member!
Steamed Bun chewed a few mouthfuls and felt that it was tasteless, so he spat it out.
Rance and Jess were as friendly as Steamed Bun. The two found stools in the small yard and sat down. Mosquitoes and flies seemed to have swollen eyes and didn't dare to approach them. There was a vacuum around the two of them. The young knights who were still standing guard looked at them with envy.
Unfortunately, they still had to stand guard stupidly. As they stood, they wondered if their boss had failed. Did the village head of Golden Fruit Garden Village not want to pay? Why? Wasn't it natural for knights to ask the person who issued the mission for money after completing the mission?
Xu Jun looked at the faces of these little knights and knew what they were thinking. He thought to himself, "You kids are so naive. How can you ask for money after completing a mission from a small village? What the hell are you thinking? Can a small village afford it?" Did you help the villagers kill monsters just for money?
Of course not! It must be because of the reputation points and experience points, as well as the treasure chests under the river in the village!
It must be for the qualification of the Three Lights!
How can you be so ignorant when you only have eyes for money?!
He couldn't help but complain in his heart, Eh, young people these days.
Then he waited for two seconds, but the guy who could answer didn't appear.
… It was so boring.
The village hall was actually divided into two rooms. It could be seen that the outside had already become the village chief's warehouse. There were a few bags of flour piled up, and one of the bags was filled with potatoes. Two of the exposed potatoes had already sprouted and were dark and swarthy. There was also a small cabinet in the corner. It looked quite old and there was a book on top of it.
"The Hero Vs. The Demon King … Three Days and Three Nights" ← There was a line of title in the book. The words in the middle weren't very clear, but there was a smaller line below … "The Hero Story – Erotic Edition".
Xu Jun scanned the cover and saw a naked, long-haired, fair-skinned woman on the cover. She was only wearing a pair of leather boots. She was holding a longsword weakly to show her identity as a "hero". She was lying on top of a dark and swarthy demon king with a skull crown on his head.
"…" He was speechless. Damn, is this how the people in this world understand the relationship between the Hero and the Demon King?!
And it was clearly a doujinshi in the Holy Light Elf's world. How did it become a little bitch book in your world?!
If Prince Leon's soul was still here, he might be very angry. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Prince Leon wasn't Prince Leon. He was the Demon King himself!
What should I do? Xu Jun wanted to secretly take this book away and show it to the Demon King when he had the chance. _ (: 3/∠) _
After all, he couldn't be the only one.
While he was thinking about whether to tear off the cover of the book, an angry roar came from the house. "What do you mean by I should go to Kana Village to ask for the reward? You are the one who issued the mission!!! "
He quickly pushed the door open and went in to see what was going on. In the inner room, he saw an honest old man who was probably the village head being pressed against the wall by an angry knight. It looked a bit like … kabedon.
The knight had red hair that was as beautiful and flamboyant as a fire lion, which contrasted well with his personality. He turned his head and said angrily, "Didn't I say you didn't need to come in?! — Eh? Who are you? "
Xu Jun looked at the Knight with the eyes of a professional Hero. He was already an Intermediate Knight at such a young age. He was quite talented. The armor he was wearing should be a product of the Silver Rose Armor Shop. Judging from the style, it seemed to be the latest. The longsword at his waist had a hollow pattern, and both the armor and the longsword were enchanted. He was probably a noble child.
If he could strip this guy clean, he could sell him for thousands of gold coins.
After a third party intervened, this matter became easier to deal with. The village head was obviously more willing to talk to Xu Jun. In his opinion, Xu Jun was much more amiable. The noble young knight was also more willing to talk to Xu Jun. He saw that Xu Jun was an adventurer and had some similarities with the knights. At least, they both made a living by doing quests. Both sides pulled Xu Jun to ask for justice.
This was a very strange story.
Two or three years ago, the village head did go to the Antler Bar in Mundama City to issue a bounty mission. But who would be willing to do such a thing with a reward of ten gold coins to kill the ferocious Gnolls? The mission was put on hold, and the bartender of the Antler Bar put the mission announcement in the most inconspicuous corner of the mission board. After that, the Gnolls moved to Kana Village, and the village head of Golden Fruit Garden Village forgot about this matter.
After all, it had been two years.
But who would have thought that two years later, a group of knights formed by nobles and knights would actually find this old mission, complete it, and take it to Golden Fruit Garden Village to ask for the reward?
"At that time … No one took the mission for a year, so I simply distributed the money to the villagers … The harvest in these two years has not been good, ten gold coins … Um … Um …" The village head of Golden Fruit Garden Village murmured. The captain of the knight group shook his red hair and was very angry. "What's with your attitude? Why do you make us look like bandits coming to rob money? "
— — When they took this mission, they said it was a good thing! Otherwise, who would do something like killing Gnolls for ten gold coins?!
The author has something to say: I saw a friend asking why we didn't use the newly launched anti-theft system based on the purchase percentage. Here I answer again. _ (: 3/∠) _
1: I think it's normal to skip subscriptions. If ordinary readers skip subscriptions, it might be related to the quality of my writing. And for ordinary readers, they can read as many chapters as they want. You can't stop them from reading the current chapter just because they didn't spend the previous chapter's money. Sometimes, there will be thoughts like "I want to see how the latest chapter is before I decide whether to buy it or not." It's normal.
2: Using the purchase percentage anti-theft method can't save Erji's procrastination … My character in the past wasn't good, and it was easy for me to stop updating when I wrote. Although I've changed my ways (applause here), sometimes I'm still lazy. So this manual anti-theft method is also a goal for myself: I must change it tomorrow. It's a way to motivate myself.
I hope I can keep updating without this method in the future, but I can't do it now, so sorry.
These two days, there have been readers saying that it's too short qaq I'll post a fatter chapter today. It's four thousand words qaq
The friends who bought the anti-theft stamp were very profitable. Giving a profit of a thousand words was awesome. [Find a reason to boast.
