Chapter 14: Preparing for the Silverback Wolf
When Charlie woke up, he didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, so he was attracted by the big golden characters.
[Qualified Lord Series Mission 2: Exterminate the Silver Moon Wolves Who Invaded the Territory]
[Reward: A new Ain Stone.] 】
Charlie, who had just woken up, was so tightened in his chest that he almost lost his breath.
Seeing the reward, she was really going crazy.
That's enough!!
You can't steal something, right!?
The hungry rumbling only adjusted Charlie's rapidly collapsed mood back, people are iron rice and steel, eat first and then think about something else!
Telling Anne to prepare some barbecue jerky, as well as the stone cakes stockpiled by the mercenaries, and drinking the mead that accompanied the meal, Charlie finally got rid of the feeling of weakness caused by the exhaustion of the energy in his body.
Charlie got up from the table, and Anne, who had been standing next to her with a hesitant face, had to stop her.
"Lord Earl......"
"What's the matter?" Charlie stopped, looking patiently at Anne, the only maid in the castle.
"We didn't have much food...... Lord Earl, it stands to reason that the people of the territory provide food......" she said hesitantly, probably because she was not familiar with this food.
After all, a qualified nobleman, this kind of thing is taken care of by corresponding servants, for example, in the old earl's mansion in the imperial capital, the person who worries about this kind of thing should be the male butler.
Obviously, the valet that the Countess had assigned to her 'son' was to allow him to occupy the position of housekeeper in the mansion of the territory.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.
Charlie ignored Anne's suggestion that she would levy a 'territorial tax' and take the last bit of life food from the pockets of those yellow-skinned lords.
"All will be fine, Anne, the bread will be fine."
With just a few words, Charlie walked towards the castle gate.
Now that she's an official arcanist, she's able to rub fireballs, and from time to time she can send a prophecy with a feeling.
Finally, in this fantasy continent where dragons are rampant and flowers of all races are blooming, she has a sense of security to survive in the cracks.
When she was about to go out, she ran into the return of the Miami mentor, who couldn't help but scurry up when she walked, and was obviously overexcited.
The irritable old man in the red robe was in a state of excitement at this time, and Charlie estimated that he had figured out the truth of distilling and purifying water.
"Ahh Charlie! Where are you going, my dear student? Miami couldn't help but dance as he spoke.
Charlie struck while the iron was hot, "Teacher, I'm going to Bella Village, where I live today." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Where is it dirty and bad, like a pigsty, and the dirty and urine land will stain your expensive shoes, and you still live there? ”
"Because of my ability to foresee, I foresaw that the silverback wolf would invade the village chief at night, and my people would die as a result."
Before, there was no lord here, and no one cared about the life or death of those poor fellows, but now, when she came, she would not ignore the loss of life.
You know, that's a valuable human resource.
Charlie was anxious, and said helplessly to the stunned Milami: "Mentor, do you mind chatting with me while walking?" ”
Milami recovered from his shock, and he walked a few steps briskly in front of Charlie, carefully studying the disciple he had picked up with Capa, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's amazing, I was baptized by the Ayn Stone last night, can I use the arcane of prophecy today? Yes! This is the rarest, which is why the prophecy faction of the arcane system has always sat firmly on the 'throne' of the 'minority'. ”
"Damn! Why not the plastic energy department?! ”
After being reminded by Miami, Charlie remembered that he almost rubbed a fireball out of his room today, although in the end he came to his senses and asked her to cast a fireball spell against the window.
But in retrospect......
Why did she faint?
Charlie asked while pulling his 'indignant' plastic energy instructor to Beira Village:
"Mentor, why did I faint today after releasing a fireball? At that time, I really wanted to see Mentor Kappa, but luckily he pushed me, otherwise I might have crashed into the sea from a height of four floors. ”
Thinking about what the villagers said, the dense school of small sharks in the shallow sea area, Charlie was a little afraid.
The thunder continued, and Milamin's brain, which was full of plastic arcane, was not enough to turn today.
He was like a funny parrot, repeating Charlie's words, "...... Unleash the Fireball? Faint? ...... release the fireball? ”
"Yes, Mentor, I think I'm already an arcane apprentice, but the corresponding knowledge is still very scarce, only the basic arcane brought by the enlightenment of the Ainstone."
"Fireball?"
"That's right, it's fireball."
"Fireball! Ahahahaha! My red-robed Milammy apprentice is a genius! From Arcane Rise to the present! Is there an arcane who can master and use the fireball technique the day after being inspired by the Ainstone?! ”
Milami aside, Charlie really didn't know that he was such a 'genius'.
She certainly won't forget that this is a quest bonus quest.
"Where's your Ayn Stone? Quick, release it, and show me another fireball technique! ”
"Ahh Look, I'm so confused, I forgot, your Plastic Energy Department is at most one level, so that your Arcane can only unleash your fireball technique once a day. ”
Looking at Miami's happy 'gibberish', Charlie was very helpless, and at the same time, he continued to extract valuable knowledge from his words.
Ao Neng?
First-class plastic energy system?
Once a day for fireballing?
It wasn't until the two of them walked all the way to the village of Beira that Milami looked to calm down.
As far as the eye can see, the villagers of Beira Village have long since returned to their homes.
Smoke rose from all the humble houses that were inhabited.
Because they were afraid that the demonic beasts that came out of the forest would eat people, the villagers all returned home early.
But that didn't help much.
For the inhabitants who have no force to protect themselves, this act is nothing more than a delicious sea crab that burrows into the 'cracks in the stones'.
Monsters with a modicum of wisdom can drag them out of the dilapidated civilian houses and into the forest to eat.
Charlie circled around the village of Bella.
She found that the villagers were not completely without any protection.
At least, if it weren't for Miami following her, she would have stepped on at least 15 traps along the way.
Charlie admits that he is not blind, which shows that the villagers' means of setting traps are very skillful.
But why can't this stop those hungry monsters?
"Because, that's a monster. These traps, trapped pits, and trapping nets may pose a threat to ordinary beasts, but for monsters, it is clear that the resistance of these villagers is futile. ”
After inspecting the situation, the two walked into the village together.
There was not a single person on the dirt road in the village.
Everyone was closed, and if it weren't for the smoke, it would have been like a ghost village.
The master and apprentice knocked on the door of a smoking house.
"It's me, your lord, Charlie Violet."
It wasn't until Charlie's voice was heard that there was a sound in the room.
First the sound of rubbing away the heavy furniture, then the sound of the heavy objects being moved away in a hurry, and it was a long toss before the thin wooden door could be opened.
Coincidentally, it was the mother and son who 'robbed' Searle's water bladder today.
The thin black woman blocked her son behind her, and said with a frightened expression:
"Ah, my lord, are you punishing us for the water bladder that Ston robbed today? I am willing to accept the punishment for my son, please forgive him! He just...... So thirsty......"
Looking at the woman's clumsy and frightened pleading, Charlie was silent before speaking: "Call all the people in the village out." I have something to say. ”
She just knocked on a random household, and the purpose was also to gather the people in the village.
Although the woman did not understand what the young leader with long hair on her forehead was doing, she took her son and immediately carried out Charlie's wishes.
Charlie gave them a way to get water for free, oh! Not just water, but salt!
A large iron drum that has distilled seawater has a thin layer of coarse white salt attached to it!
Dragon's favor!
Their days are finally running out of hope!
Charlie solves the biggest survival problem in the village of Bella, allowing the villagers who are on the verge of dying of thirst to desperately look forward to the unpredictable weather to drink water to their heart's content.
This kind of favor is enough to make these villagers, who only hope to survive tenaciously, do their best to fulfill her orders.
In a short time, the whole village pushed away the furniture that covered the door panels, walked out of their dilapidated hut, and came to Charlie.
Charlie seriously considered whether or not to tell the villagers about the silverback wolf.
If it is said to be said, the villagers will panic.
Panic is a terrible thing for rulers.
But if you don't say it, then when the silverback wolf strikes, these panicked villages are likely to cause accidents.
After Charlie made a choice, he chose the former and informed the villagers, but it was not untechnical.
At this time, it will be necessary to test her wisdom, as well as her skill as a leader, and the charm of using language.
