Chapter 33: The Skeleton Monster's Relic
"You're the witch knight of Seka City?"
Shilu on the roof had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, and after learning that Rena was actually a legend of Seka City, she couldn't help but climb down from the roof with curiosity.
Rena nodded, looking a little frustrated.
Seeing Rena's expression, Xilu hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything, it's just that this title is too familiar in Seka City." ”
Shelu is also from Seka City, so she was impressed by the Goblin Rebellion. As a professional, she also let go of some fireballs on the city walls and witnessed Rena's performance firsthand.
A witch is not a magician, but a person who is regarded as a slave to the devil. Through acts such as worshipping demons, blasphemy, etc., witches will gain special abilities.
Legend has it that witches cannot shed tears even when they are sad, and when the tears fall, the magic power on their bodies is completely lost, and they become ordinary humans.
Rena's bizarre performance was mistaken for a witch and demon believers, and because of this, she was treated unfairly, and even though the official support for her was officially expressed as an honorary nobleman, many people still didn't buy it.
For Rena, she doesn't really love vanity, so she talks about honorary nobility all day long, she just wants to use this title to prove that she is not a witch.
Seeing Rena's still lost expression, Shiro continued:
"Sister Rena...... Your performance has been a bit scary, but as a citizen of Seca, I sincerely thank you for all you have done for Seca! ”
Hearing this, Rena's expression improved slightly, and she squeezed out a smile towards Xilu: "Thank you." ”
"Rena, as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to care too much about the world's gaze." Chu Yun's position as a monster man is still relatively neutral.
For him, whether it is a witch, a demon, or a monster, it should not be judged by birth, but by a person's behavior.
"Chu Yun, but, maybe I'm really a witch...... Didn't you say I had strange lines on my body? Rena was originally quite confident in her identity, but after hearing Chu Yun's description, she was a little shaken.
Chu Yun said noncommittally: "Even if it's really a witch, can you still be burned at the stake just because you are a witch?" ”
The church in this world is more "law-abiding" and purer than Chu Yun's impression in most of the kingdoms, even if someone blasphemes the gods at the door of the church every day, they have to find the city guards to drive them away.
Now that the official has given Rena a "certificate of innocence", no one can trouble her for this reason.
While everyone was talking, the village chief who had finished dealing with the aftermath of the villagers also came over.
I saw that he took out a large bag full of copper coins and some silver coins with a complicated expression, and said to Rena: "Lord Leo, this is the commission of the mission, thank you for solving the trouble of the village." ”
Rena was ashamed of it, not only did she fail to protect the villagers, but the enemy was solved by Chu Yun.
"This honorarium...... Give it to him, it was his students who discovered the Skeleton Monster, and it was he who defeated the Skeleton Monster. "Although Rena is shy in her pocket, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
The village chief was not in a good mood now, after all, this matter had a lot to do with him, and after putting the money bag on the ground, he said to Rena:
"How you decide for yourself, I still have to go first."
The village chief left a sentence and left, judging from the direction of leaving......
It seems that he wants to confirm whether the skeleton monster is caused by himself, as long as he finds the burial site.
However, the wilderness at night is very dangerous, and he may not be able to return from this time.
Fortunately, several villagers stopped him when he passed by the entrance of the village, and it is estimated that he will continue to verify it tomorrow.
Chu Yun looked at the scattered money bags on the ground and said to Rena: "You better put away this money, no matter what the process is, this task is yours." ”
"How can this be, it is all your efforts to solve the problem."
Chu Yun thought for a while and continued, "I don't like the smell of copper to be too troublesome, so let's do it, the silver coins belong to me, and you take the copper coins." ”
The silver coins in the bag were worth about 1 gold coin, and Chu Yun asked Xilu to pick them out and give them to Xilu as pocket money.
Rena wanted to refuse, but Chu Yun left after dropping the things, and she had to put away the rest of the money.
The reward for the task is 5 gold coins, and the remaining 4 gold coins are worth 40,000 copper coins, such a heavy currency is really a loss to the village chief to carry it, it seems that he was also a professional when he was young.
-----------------
Early the next morning.
When Chu Yun and Xilu packed their luggage and prepared to leave, Rena rode her war horse and followed.
"Chu Yun, are you going to Seka City?"
Normally, there are only two types of people who pass through the village of Seka, either leaving from Seka or heading to Seka.
Rena, judging from their previous route, nine times out of ten, it was to go to Seka City.
"Yes, I'm going to spend some time in Seka City, and Shilu's sister is in the city too." Chu Yun wanted to find a way to complete the transformation of a vampire in Seka City and turn back into a human.
As the largest city in the eastern part of the kingdom of Camilla, Seca City is well worth a visit to experience the local customs and cuisine.
"What, you're going back to the city too?"
Rena nodded and said, "Yes, I was going to leave Seka City and find a place where no one knows me to start over. ”
"But after listening to what you said yesterday, I changed my mind, even if I change places, one day my situation will continue to happen, I can't live in another place when the time comes."
"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I avoid them!" Rena figured it out a little.
She took off her helmet, and a beautiful long silver hair appeared in front of Chu Yun.
"May I come with you?"
It's been a long time since Rena has appeared to anyone else as a woman, and it's been a long time since she's met someone who is willing to accept her after knowing her identity.
Therefore, she mustered up the courage to make a peer request to Chu Yun.
"I don't care, but we usually go on a slow walk." Chu Yun climbed onto the roof of the chocobo carriage and continued to bask in the sun.
"I'm almost ...... too"
Rena traveled alone, lonely, but free.
She has a little hobby that she hasn't told anyone about when she finds beautiful flowers that she can stay there for an entire afternoon, and even observe interesting critters all day.
Rena and Chu Yun embarked on the journey together, and just as they were leaving the village, the dusty village chief and several villagers rushed back from outside.
The village chief ran out early in the morning to confirm the burial site, and the result was the same as Chu Yun had guessed, but in the dirt pit, they found another very suspicious thing.
That's why I hurried back, wanting to find Chu Yun, a well-informed archmage, to confirm.
