"Sure enough, then stun them and kill them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Miss Rita was a little excited as she spoke.

"No, no, no, no, no." Days shuddered as he imagined the corpses strewn all over the field.

"Since Little Days said no, then it's not like this." Miss Rita decisively rejects her offer.

Days, on the other hand, was still a little dizzy because his head was turning too fast, although he had stopped now.

"Sure enough, I should have given up the faster ones." Miss Rita scrambled to find the right potion in her space, and finally found an external plaster with minimal side effects, which she carefully applied to the temples on either side of Dyce.

"Maybe we can pay the ransom?" Sophia suggested.

"Even though Days is a rich man right now, it's definitely not the best choice."

"That's right. Those horse thieves must have wondered where the money came from in this village, and maybe they will come back in the future. ”

"Is that okay, after giving the money this time, the people will be ransomed, and then the village will be moved to a safe place."

Days never killed anyone, not even if he had been in a war (if that first mission was a war if that was beaten on that first mission) he hadn't killed anyone, not even when the student council had taken out the bandits besieging the school during the semester that had just ended.

In Dyce's eyes, those people are bad people. The village is a mess now, and some livestock can be seen before, but now it is estimated that there are no crops left. There has never been a locust plague in the kingdom of Dikasna, but I have heard that there is. The place where the locusts pass must be a mess without any vegetation.

And the situation I saw today is probably about the same.

If it's not annoying, it's impossible. But Days always felt that killing people was not good, and it could be resolved peacefully, even if it was a little troublesome here, it was acceptable. In other words, it would be nice to lose some money and then go to the trouble of relocating these inhabitants to places that might be more affluent.

When we are discussing. There was a commotion at the entrance of the village. I saw some sturdy men entering the village.

Days hurriedly looked over. When I saw the woman in the village, I was not afraid, but took the initiative to meet her and say something, so I was relieved. It should be the people from the village who have returned. After listening to what the women had to say, they nodded at first. Then there is anger. After asking a few words. With a concerned expression, he came to meet the hunter Lake, whose son had been kidnapped.

They said something, but Anna didn't translate, she was concentrating on learning the language. But looking at her complexion, it doesn't seem to be very good. And it looks a little sleepy, it seems to be tired. After they finished speaking, they went to several other houses, and they were all concerned.

At this time, Anna added in a whisper: "There are also two families whose daughters have been kidnapped. ”

They were silent for a while, and Miss Rita said:

"Since Little Days said that, I have no objection. But so tired of things that I refused to participate. ”

"Huh!?"

"With your ability, you should be able to solve this matter."

"How is it possible, I am only one person."

"Then do as I say, or, you call me what I like."

Miss Rita is sometimes very headstrong, so she really doesn't want to accept such a troublesome request from Dyce.

Days frowned, then shook his head: "Let me try it first, okay?" I'll negotiate first and try to ransom people back. If it fails, let Rita-sensei take action. ”

"Yes, Teacher Rita shouldn't watch her students have an accident." Sophia was a little upset when she saw that Miss Rita was taking the opportunity to threaten her, so she mended the knife.

"Hmph." Miss Rita turned her face away.

"Anne, can you help me ask where the ransom is?"

Anna asked the woman next to her, who asked about her husband, Lake. Lake replied a few words, pointed in the right direction, and offered to lead the way.

"Again, how many people have been kidnapped, and how much ransom do they need? How many people are there in the Horse Thieves? What happens to the hostages if they can't pay the ransom? "Although Days is sometimes too gentle, his mind is still very delicate.

Although there are a lot of questions, it is still quite easy for young Miss Anna to remember.

She asked one by one, and then translated them one by one.

The horse thieves kidnapped a total of 4 people from this village, three girls and one boy. The reason why it was just a boy was kidnapped was because there was a young man in the village at the time, and the other men were hunting outside.

The ransom is 20 gold coins. Although it is not much for Dyce, but for this barren mountain village, they may not have seen this money in their lifetime. After all, there is no business here, there is no investment, and many of them have not even seen the money.

It is not clear how many people there are in the horse thief group, but there are probably more than 20 people who came to the village this time. Although many people are answering, since Anna finally said that it was more than 20, then it was more than 20.

If the ransom cannot be paid, the girls are likely to be toyed with, while the boys may be trained to become new members of the horse thieves, and of course, the most likely person will be killed by the horse thieves. Therefore, this matter is still very urgent, and people must be rescued as soon as possible to avoid accidents.

Days asked strangely again, where are the older men here, not that they are hunting outside, there should be some older people.

"When we're older, we'll leave the village on our own."

"What?!" Listening to his sister Anna's translation, Days jumped up in surprise.

"It's the rule in the village. Except when we were young, when we grew up, we couldn't burden other people, and that's how we came from generation to generation. ”

Days couldn't help but take a deep breath: "It's a cruel world. ”

"Of course the world is cruel." Miss Rita said something realistic.

"Although the young master can't change the world, we see it. You can do some, isn't it, young master? ”

"Well, Sophia is right, we can't change anything where we can't see, but since we see it, let's do something. Sophia, take out one of our gold and one of our silver coins. ”

Sophia took it out and placed it on the table.

"Can you use a coin like this?" Days asked.

Anna translated, then yawned. Not to say rude. And it looks really tired.

Hunter Ryker replied. Then, as if thinking of something, he ran to another house, and after a while, ran back again.

When you come back. Carefully holding an object in his hand. After carefully placing the thing on the table. Days saw that it was a gold coin that was still shining gold.

Miss Anna translated: "This is the only gold coin in the village, and it has been kept for decades. I remember that the old village chief took people out to the city and sold a lot of camel hair in exchange for it. ”

"Camel hair?" Days looked around suspiciously, and saw that there were no humans in the village. No other animals are in sight.

Miss Anna went on to translate: "There was a drought, and the camels starved to death. ”

"The camels are starving to death......"

Days muttered and repeated. It's so amazing that even a camel can starve to death. It's no wonder that the elderly here will consciously leave the village after they can't create value for the village, and this kind of life is really difficult. But then again, humans are so tenacious that even the camels starved to death, but the village has survived to this day.

"Why don't you get out of here and live in a better place?"

Anna translated truthfully, and the hunter Reker thought for a while, frowned, and replied a few words, and Miss Anna translated, and it was like this:

"Because here, after all, it's a free life. When you reach a place of abundance, you will lose even yourself. ”

Days didn't understand what such an answer was, and looked at Sophia, who could only be expected to answer him, Miss Rita certainly couldn't count on it.

"I think some people like to live freely. When you get to town, just like in Frankendo, there are always all sorts of strange people with strange ideas. ”

"Well, that's right." Days nodded, and then focused on the gold coin, which had a different pattern than the gold coin that Days brought, but the size and weight were the same.

Looks like it works. Days asked Sophia to take out 20 gold coins, but Sophia showed a look of embarrassment:

"Master Dyce, we're running out of gold coins."

"How much is left?"

"And 33."

Days suddenly remembered something: "Haven't I given you this month's salary yet?" ”

"It's okay."

"How can this work?" After all, Miss Cecilia had instructed Days in her farewell letter that she must pay Sophia 15 silver coins a month, "It's really hard for you to follow me to so many places lately." So starting this month, your salary will be increased to 20 credits. ”

To this day, Days still knows about the exchange of a gold coin for 50 silver coins and 1 silver coin for 100 copper coins.

Speaking of which, the 20 gold coins demanded by the horse thieves are really quite excessive. How could there be so much money for a poor mountain village, where even camels could starve to death?

Days felt that if he was a group of horse thieves, he would ask for a gold coin at most.

No, no, no, how could I be a group of horse thieves? Days immediately put the thought that popped into his mind behind him.

"It doesn't matter, don't we have a gift from the wind demon, when the time comes, we'll exchange some when we get to the city. When we got to the princess of Beirut, we also needed money to buy some gifts. You can't go empty-handed. ”

"That's right." Sophia chuckled.

"That...... This time I went to Miss Dandiliel's place, it was really hasty, and Melina was sick, so she didn't have time to prepare a gift. ”

"No one blames you, Master Dyce. But at least Miss Impus should be mentioned in the future. ”

"Mmmm, I really have to mention it, if she doesn't know, she will definitely kick it again." When Days thought of Miss Impus, he felt a dull pain in his calf bone.

During his time with Miss Imps, he was not kicked less.

Sophia did as Deiss instructed her and took out 20 gold coins. Ask Hunter Reker for a wooden box to put on.

"By the way, Rita-sensei, is there a way to make us like the people here? It's too eye-catching for us to go out like this, and it might not be good. ”

"Well, then you'll need to make a polyjuice potion." Because it was about the field of potions, Miss Rita immediately came to her senses.

She laid out the utensils and medicinal herbs on the spot, then took the hair of the people in the village, made four bottles of potions, and after everyone drank them, they all became people with similar physiques but completely different appearances.

The locals who were watching around were dumbfounded. They watched as four strangers with different hair colors and pupils turned into black-haired and black-eyed Orientals.

Clothes for the ...... Days really didn't want to bother anymore, and if he wanted to wear it, Days felt that he didn't care. But he really couldn't make a decision to put on such torn and dirty clothes for the girls around him.

Everything was ready, under the communication of Miss Anna, the men of the village prepared weapons and armor, and set off with Dyce, after the delay of Dyce's discussion, the men in the village came back a lot, and if they set off together, it would also be a great deterrent. The women, on the other hand, set out in the other direction, to hide in a place where outsiders could not find them.

An hour later, they finally arrived near the temporary station of the horse thieves.

The man in the lead stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said something. When Miss Anna heard this, she frowned, but she still translated:

"Guys, don't you have any doubts? Why did the horse thieves come as soon as the four strangers came? Why are they so willing to help us? ”

The hunter Lake made his own remarks-for-tat, and in his words, he could even make people feel hostile to the man in charge, because in front of him, only these strangers could save their own sons, which was the only straw:

"Village Chief, if you have any doubts, why didn't you say them when you were still in the village? Now that the women are hiding, we're here. It's all at this time, what's the use of doubting? ”

"I'm just saying, I don't mean anything else. But do you really think they're not suspicious? ”

"If nothing else. But you're obviously interesting, right, but the money has also been taken out, and we can rescue our people, even if it's suspicious, what's the problem? ”

The other three men whose daughters were kidnapped also followed.

However, there are also a few men who are closer to the village chief, who are helping the village chief to speak.

After translating a few sentences, Anna frowned and expressed her meaning: "I think the human beings here are so strange, and their ideas are so complicated, many, many times more complicated than my brother. ”

"Hmm." Days smiled wryly.

Anna said this, obviously complimenting him, but in fact the complimentary sentence was: "My brother is a simple and direct person." (To be continued.) )
