72. Small commissions
"What song is the big brother humming?"
When Xia Zuo returned to the company camp, it was already a different scenery - everyone was walking around in a panic, waking up their families.
His humming gradually stopped.
"It's like it's called 'Daddy'... But I don't know what the original name was, and it's still a song from '85. β
Xia Zuo buried his head, it turned out to be the little girl with a ponytail before, her name was Liya, if it weren't for staring at her, a character name appeared, Xia Zuo shouldn't remember it very well.
"What a weird tune~" Lia covered her mouth and giggled.
"Isn't Leah sleepy? And... What's wrong with everyone around you? β
When Xia Zuo asked, he looked around.
"I don't know, my father was suddenly woken up by someone outside, and asked me to stay in the tent with my mother, and Mr. Village Chief said to let the adults gather and guard something..."
"Leah!" Suddenly a woman's cry came from the tent behind her, "Didn't you stay in the tent?" Don't just go out! β
A chubby woman leaned over and lifted the curtain and walked out, her name on her head showing Corinda.
Without being seen by Xia Zuo, none of the NPCs showed their names.
When Xia Zuo was discovered, Corinda's face changed from accusatory to kind.
"Isn't this Your Excellency Xia Zuo?"
Xia Zuo was not surprised, because Corinda was wearing leather armor that she had created.
The whole village was tall, short, fat and thin, and when the number of pieces was reached, Xia Zuo found that some of them came with ill-fitting leather armor and asked for changes.
It was all made before with a unified L number... Xia Zuo didn't know how to change it, so he had to disassemble and redo it, and the strange thing is that when he mentally thought about this chubby Corinda, the forging underwent some changes - the size of the redone leather armor became a lot larger, and it just fit her.
"Have you also been summoned by the village chief? When you're asleep, it's really disturbing... So much for Liv Village. Corinda bowed apologetically and gratefully.
"I'm asleep, it's the opposite, because I don't sleep, I have to wait for you to wake up, I'm bored, is there something unexpected!?" When Xia Zuo asked, he seemed to be excited, with an expression of "finally something to do".
"Ahh It seems that the village chief has discovered the enemy, and is now sending someone to inform everyone to go and guard every road that leads to the camp... Hey~ I don't know how the child is like in Sion Villen Laugers Funiscle, during the time he was watching at the entrance of the village, he didn't receive the armor and weapons forged by His Excellency Xia Zuo..."
Theon... What the? Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows, this familiar name, there will not be a third one in the village - the men behind Grim that I saw when I first entered the village, one fat and one scab.
Their names were too long, staring at them until the one appeared overhead, like the propellers of a helicopter.
"Someone next to Grim? Your son? Xia Zuo asked.
"Yes, a chubby boy, you can have an impression of him~" Corinda covered her mouth and smiled slightly proudly, "He rarely introduces his real name to outsiders. β
"Ah~ Big brother, do you know my brother?" Leah said happily with her arms stretched back.
"Yes."
Leah laughed, but soon, her expression turned cold and turned to the same worry as her mother.
"Dad said that the weapons and leather armor made by the eldest brother are very good," Liya poked her finger, "but the village chief does not allow the people who stay in the camp to move around without permission, otherwise Dad would have wanted to send the weapons and equipment to the elder brother, saying that they will need it more at this time..."
"That's right, but with Grim, it should be okay, Grim is a very reliable swordsman in the village, since he was in his early tens, he has helped the villagers solve a lot of little monsters they encounter when they go out." Corinda said with a hint of comfort in her worries.
"Why did the big brother just come back from outside the camp? Can big brother move around freely? Leah tilted her head.
Xia Zuo had never heard the village chief make such a request to himself.
"I'm not from the village, the old village chief has no right to ask me, besides, he wants me to stay in that boring tent, I won't listen."
Xia Zuo's words seemed to make Liya's eyes shine with stars.
"So, can Big Brother do me a favor?" As she spoke, Leah quickly ran back to the tent and took out her heavy leather armor blouse, "This, please pass this on to my brother, there are also brothers in the tent Grim and Brother Isoldefocancio OntesagaΓ±o." β
The latter name is the thinner one, right? Such a young child can memorize such a long name, Xia Zuo suddenly admired.
"Leah, how can you make such a request?" Corinda reproached.
But Leah's lowered eyebrows showed that she didn't back down, and firmly removed the pendant from her neck that was hidden in her blouse.
"Leah knows ~ Dad often tells me that the client must be rewarded for helping."
Seeing Liya bury her head seriously and try to remove the pendant from behind the ponytail that was a little obstructive, Xia Zuo pursed her lips and smiled at her aunt.
Although the world is real, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the NPCs will still assign tasks to players? In any case, the task of the little ones did not have to be done...
"This!" Liya successfully took off the pendant and raised it above her head to show Xia Zuo.
An ordinary black string, with a crude knot underneath tied to a blood-colored jade with a spiral cloud texture.
"Crimson Steel!!" Xia Zuo exclaimed.
It is a stone that can strengthen weapons by 10 bases, and compared to magic energy stones that require forging levels and may fail to strengthen, "Crimson Steel Jade" is an excellent treasure.
"I haven't shown it to anyone other than my family~" Seeing that he seemed interested, Liya then complimented, "It's beautiful, right?" Does Big Brother like it? β
"I remember this stone, it was found by the river and given to Leah as a gift, right?" This also disturbed Corinda, she covered her mouth and buried her head to look at it, and then waved her hand with a wry smile, "How can such a child's toy be used as a reward?" β
"No, that's fine." Xia Zuo decisively spread his hands.
Leah was overjoyed and handed the pendant to Xia Zuo, "Really? So our deal is done? β
"Really? Corinda also asked worriedly, "Your Excellency wants to send armor for my son and the three of them?" If you're willing to bother, how about I pay you some coins? Although not much is brought out of the house..."
"No need." As Corinda was about to go back to the tent to get the coins, Xia Zuo stopped her.
"Is it all right?" Xia Zuo glanced at Liya, "Wasn't it a gift from Jobs?" β
Liya shook her head, crossed her waist and said, "I also returned the salute, I believe that at such a critical juncture, he will understand." β
