Chapter 20: The Ethos of Larante

Downstairs, many people lined up at the well, and the servants of the big men got up before dawn to prepare, and there were few people like Nana who came late.

Although the servants didn't know each other, there were a few people talking, but Nana wasn't interested in listening to this, she just rubbed her hands, it was quite cold.

It's winter in Demon King City, and the Blue River is also in the freezing period, of course, it can't be too warm on the human side, it can be seen that the well water has frozen, and the first person to fetch water is still breaking the ice with a wooden stick, but the ice is hard, and it hasn't been broken for so long, causing the people who fetch water to line up in the back.

Nana also lined up in the back, holding buckets of water, waiting for the front to break the ice in the well.

"Hey! What are the previous ones doing? Why are you still grinding? A manservant couldn't hold back and couldn't help but ask in front of him.

"I'm sorry...... This ice cube is a bit thick, I got it right away! The answer was a girl's voice, which sounded flustered and young.

There are both male and female servants here, and depending on the preferences of the owner's family, both male and female servants are common.

Nana tilted her head, looked over there, and found that it was a maid about fifteen or sixteen years old, probably just bought by her master, her hands and arms were very thin, her strength was not enough, and she was holding a wooden stick five or six meters long, and she couldn't break the ice at all.

But no one went up to help, Nana didn't know why, maybe there were some special rules, and the people in the back just waited impatiently, scolding from time to time.

Nana couldn't stand it, she walked out of the team and came to the well: "I'll help you." ”

The anxious sweaty girl looked up and found that it was a girl younger than herself, her face was red, and she just wanted to say something, but Nana didn't wait for her to say more, took the wooden stick, and poked it down, only to hear a plop, the ice shattered, and she was finally able to draw water.

After doing this trivial thing, Nana stepped back and stood where she had just been arranged.

Now she suddenly felt uncomfortable, for in addition to the whispered thanks of the little girl she had helped, the servants around her had all turned their eyes on her.

And the little girl was so embarrassed that she almost cried after thanking her, she kept glancing at Nana, and stopped talking.

But the people behind urged her to hurry up and fetch water with their eyes, so the servant girl took out a silver coin as if she had made some decision, handed it to Nana, and looked at her eyes, and felt very distressed.

Nana scratched her head inexplicably: "Huh? What do you want to do with money? ”

"You don't want money?" The servant girl was even more surprised.

"Isn't it just a matter of hands? This is used to give money? "Nana is even stranger.

The maiden was stunned, and then she was almost moved to tears, but she quickly put away the money and began to fetch water.

Nana naturally didn't pay attention to it, but there were more eyes around Nana.

What happened next made Nana feel even more weird, the ice was broken, and the water was naturally faster, everyone quickly finished their own things, Nana also carried a bucket of cold water to the first floor of the hotel, she also had to buy charcoal here, boil the water, and then serve it to her own Demon King.

It's always complicated to do things, but fortunately, Nana has long been used to it.

She used the money Lu En gave her to buy charcoal at the inn, which was close to the forest, and charcoal was very cheap, which made her feel good as a foreigner, but something was wrong with what happened next.

At first, someone told her she wanted some charcoal.

Because charcoal is not expensive, and the amount borrowed is not much, Nana agreed.

Who knows, this is out of control, several people came to borrow it from her, at first Nana felt inexplicable, and then the little girl was angry, no one came to borrow it, anyway, charcoal is such a thing, can you pay it back if you borrow it? They don't know each other.

After that, some maids, pitiful, came to cry, saying that something urgent had happened suddenly, or for some other reason, and they wanted Nana to help.

It's all about small things, like helping to watch the fire, like helping with charcoal.

Nana was also helping out, but she couldn't even be busy with her own affairs, so she finally refused these people and took the hot water and prepared to go upstairs.

Then when going upstairs, her Scout 1 came into play.

The thief girl clearly heard the person she had just helped talking behind her back.

A pair of maids were whispering, "Haha, you know what? There was just a kind and stupid hillbilly who didn't take money for helping! ”

"You've only heard? I just rubbed a lot of benefits from her, and this charcoal can be taken home, hehe, there is such a fool. ”

There was another manservant in the corner, who seemed to be complaining to the other maid: "That person is really selfish! Obviously helped others, why don't you help me, I have to see if she is in that room, let her make a good fool of herself! ”

"That's right, she also rejected me, but she helped that stinky man from Keru, maybe she fell in love with him!"

Elsewhere, there are no fewer such voices.

"This man is so selfish and narrow-minded that he won't even give me a piece of charcoal."

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet such a stupid person, maybe I can get some benefits from her today~."

These words reached Nana's ears clearly.

The thief girl's face did not look very good, but after glancing at the stairs, she ignored the words.

She's used to hearing gossip, she doesn't care about this, although she is very unhappy to be scolded for helping people, but now is the time for the demon king to show his strength in this city, Nana feels that she can't find trouble.

It's not difficult to take revenge, and of course these ordinary people who don't even have a professional level can't be her opponents, even if it's just to slap them.

But if you beat the servants, God knows if it will attract the master on their heads? Maybe the owner doesn't care, it doesn't matter at all, and if you hit it, you will fight, but it's also possible that the owner will come to the door and add a lot of trouble to the demon king.

"Alas, forget it, get used to it." She sighed, anyway, she has never been wronged since she was a child, so don't make trouble because of such boring things.

Thinking of this, she carried a bucket with hot water and knocked on Lu En's door: "Master, I'm back with water~." ”

The voice is as spiritful as ever.

"The door is unlocked." Lu En replied inside.

Nana pushed open the door and began to pour water and wash towels for Lu En, and while doing things, she said to Lu En, who was looking at the scenery outside the window: "Master, then let's go to that Hall of Glory today?" ”

"Well, I'll go today, but before then, did anything happen to you?"

Nana's hand washing the towel paused, and then replied with a natural smile: "What's the matter, we've only been here for more than a day, and we don't know anyone, how can something happen?" ”

"Well...... Is it? Lu En fell into deep thought and said no more.
