Chapter 241: Next... Leave it to me
The perspective is pulled back to the village of Divine Grace.
In front of the clearing of the gathering place, four or five trolls were eating the food brought by the villagers, and Nana, the eldest girl who was the head of the village, was still standing in place, sitting on the ground not far from these trolls.
"Sister Nana, it's too dangerous here, let's carry you back!" The youth of the village guard trotted up to the girl, and was trying to persuade in a low voice.
From time to time, he looked up at the location of the trolls, and the eyes of the villager guards were full of fear and worry about these demons who were about to be as tall as the ancient trees.
But the girl shook her head and refused.
"No, someone has to watch them here, I'm fine, don't worry, they don't seem to hurt me so far." Nana said to the village guard in a reassuring tone.
"But Sister Nana, your legs... If they do riot again, you won't even be able to run! The young guard said anxiously.
The girl also said that so far, no one expected the next move of these simple-minded trolls, and Nana, who lost her mobility because of falling from the watchtower, was undoubtedly gambling.
Nana smiled at the young man and pretended to be strong, just as the girl wanted to say something to stabilize the mood of the young guard...
"The food... Not... More food! ”
The largest troll at the head of the group had eaten the food at hand, and there was still a lingering taste on its face, it had not eaten such a delicious lunch in a long time.
It's no wonder that they usually hunt monsters at most, and then most of the time they eat them raw, and it's best to roast them over fire.
But now that the village not only provides meat, but also a lot of medicinal herbs such as vegetables and vegetation, and uses human cooking techniques, it is completely like opening the door to a new world for the trolls.
So, under the influence of instinct, the leader of the troll immediately turned his head and continued to shout at the position of the girl and the village guard.
"I want troll help... Mankind... Pull out.... Food! ”
Scare!
The troll's sudden turn of head, staring at them with big terrified eyes, startled the young villager's back, and he sat down on the ground with a very flustered expression.
In fact, this is difficult for him, if Nana wants to establish contact with the village, she must have an intermediary to be responsible for running away, and this young villager is such a character.
He kept persuading Sister Nana to return to the village, including concerns about the danger of their village safety, but more importantly, it was also out of his own fear.
The youth was afraid to stay here, even if only as a herald.
"Let's have everyone in the village bring out a few more portions of food." Nana's calm voice rang in the ears of the young guard.
The girl's performance is in stark contrast to that of the young villager, who is unusually brave in the face of the trolls, despite her incapacitated legs and incapacitated mobility.
She nodded at the troll to indicate that she understood, and then conveyed the order to the youth.
"Well... Okay Sister Nana! When the young villager finally got the girl's instructions, he nodded quickly and quickly got up from the ground.
The young man who was the guard wanted to hurry back to the village now, he really didn't want to stay with these terrifying creatures anymore.
As if sensing this emotion of the other party, Nana added another sentence at the end.
"You don't have to come back when you go back, you've done a good job, let's pick another person to come over."
"Sister Nana, yes... I'm sorry..."
Of course, the young villager understood what the girl meant, and understood that it was Nana who saw his timidity, and he bowed his head in shame.
"Let's go." The girl shook her head, indicating that it didn't matter, and she allowed herself to squeeze out a smile again.
No matter what the situation, Nana is as gentle as ever, and perhaps this is the reason why the girl can become the village chief and be trusted by all the villagers.
After watching the young villager run away from here and return to the village to deliver her instructions...
The girl who turned back into a person, the smile on Nana's face quickly disappeared, she frowned, and her heart was also very messy.
"After that... What should I do—" The girl pursed her lips and muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear.
From the current point of view, this group of trolls can be appeased with food, but you must know that the food in the village is not unlimited, but the appetite of this group of trolls is ridiculously large.
If this continues, with the food reserves in the village, I am afraid they will not even be able to survive today.
And once the supply of food to the trolls is interrupted, what will these rough demons do, the girl will never dare to gamble again.
A deep sense of powerlessness came to her heart, don't look at Nana's pretending to be very calm and calm in front of the villagers, and she looked assured, but in fact, only the girl knew in her heart that she was actually more scared than everyone else.
But just because she is the village head, she can't escape, once she falls, then everyone behind her, their entire village will be finished.
This is what she has to shoulder as a leader... Liability!
The girl clenched her palms a little.
"Hmm... Mankind... Action... Fast! ”
"Trolls... Very hungry! The troll leader's voice of displeasure thundered in the girl's ears again, and the corners of its mouth were full of food scraps.
The instinct of all living beings is greedy and insatiable, and after the trolls tasted the benefits on the human side, they gradually forgot their original intentions and began to ask for them continuously.
Nana was naturally aware of this, but as the weaker party, she had no choice but to accept and supply the trolls with food for nothing.
At least...
At least until the return of the investigation team, until the return of the human family, Liao Qi!
Unconsciously, it seems that Liao Qi has become the only hope in Shen'en Village, and whenever there is a critical moment, it seems that as long as there is Liao Qi, everything can be safely passed.
People always have to have a backing, and only when they have a bottom in their hearts can they continue to grit their teeth and persevere, and they will not be knocked down by difficulties.
What Nana has been doing is for her to be the backing of the villagers, but the girl herself also needs a backing, and Liao Qi is Nana's greatest hope.
That seemingly omnipotent human, even in the face of a terrifying creature like a troll, must be...
There must be a way!
However, is this really the case?
Not...
Isn't this nonsense...
The answer is...
Of course!
Just as the girl was comforting herself like this, and she was ready to continue to muster up the courage to fight the trolls, before she knew it, Nana suddenly felt that there was an extra person behind her.
"Good work..."
"The next step is... Leave it to me. A familiar voice sounded in the girl's ears, and for some reason, Nana suddenly felt like crying.
