Time continues to flow.

"Thank you, sir."

"Hmm."

Elle accepted the payment of several people and turned to leave.

This is the first village, and she can't remember it herself, except that she will always have a commission to do.

More than four years have passed, and it has been almost five years, and the monsters are still rampant, the war between the exorcist and the monster is still going on, and the weak humans are still being slaughtered by the weak monsters.

Erli still has a commission to do, and she can still make her strength continue to improve.

Through Yuka and Purple's message network, she can also know the attitude and information from the youkai without having to contact the exorcist's large army.

When it comes to exorcists, she's really famous. There are also folk exorcists, because they need this kind of commission more to make ends meet. But it would be strange for an exorcist like her, who only operates in the village and does not appear in the Acropolis.

After all, the commission provided in the Acropolis is more lucrative, and although there are dangers, they are generally led by officials, and there are very few cases of death. So if given the chance, the exorcist would always appear a few times in the Acropolis, but she didn't.

So, the Exorcist's unanimous assessment of her is that of a strange person, but the average person who has been blessed thinks that Elle is a kind person.

After all, compared to the remuneration of the official family and other exorcists, Irri will not add additional remuneration and will not blackmail them. In addition, she is still quite cute, and the villagers are willing to get along with her, and the news naturally spreads.

So in the eyes of the monster, it is summed up in two sentences: the big monster can't look down on her, and the little monster is afraid of her. According to the view of the monsters, Elle is also a dividing ridge, a benchmark for distinguishing monsters from monsters.

As for her body? There is no growth, or rather less notice, and the appearance remains the same. The martial arts have improved a little, barely able to use a few basic sword skills, and the improvement of magic power is very fast, compared with the demonized self, it is still far behind.

"Yo, Alice."

When Ellie turned to leave, she had a good time with a young man.

The young man wore a high tail and his hair was disheveled, and sometimes it was untidy. The face is delicate, the eyes are soft, and there is a trace of fortitude in line with the profession in the softness.

He was dressed in sackcloth, but with a wolfskin cloak and a hat, and he had two long knives fastened, which looked old and rusty, but the blades were relatively new.

"Hello, Wakayama."

This young man, who looked to be in his twenties, was an exorcist whom Ellie had met last winter, and the two happened to meet in a village, and the commission was still troublesome, so the two joined forces to solve it.

The cooperation between the two is still good, at least there are no major mistakes in cooperation. So he asked for Ellie's name by the way, and when he learned that it was Alice in the exorcist, he was very happy, so he talked to Ellie about her evaluation as Alice in the exorcist.

It was only then that he introduced himself. Calling himself Wakayama Yu, he is just an ordinary folk exorcist, not a nobleman, and his surname is just the name of his teacher.

It can be regarded as supplementing the information of the exorcist, and this person also feels good about her, so Erli is also happy to make friends with him.

The image of Elle as a female exorcist is only spread among the exorcists, but most people don't think she is as young as she looks, and their rough guess is between thirty and thirty-five.

Exorcists also have a few strange people, so they think that the behavior of "children" is just a personal problem.

As a result, this time they bumped into each other, the last time the two of them met was three months ago, after all, they are both people who rely on commissions to make a living, and it is very difficult to meet once.

"Long time no see, it seems that the commission in this village has been solved for you?"

When they met, Ruoshan smiled, but with a little regret. Alice's efficiency in completing commissions is extremely high, and usually wherever she has been, commissions will be resolved.

Sure enough, Elle naturally pointed to the package behind her, which contained some grain and wild fruits.

"Yes, it was solved, and there were some difficulties.

It's just a difficult youkai, and he's going to prepare to join forces to attack the village.

Fortunately, it's all solved. ”

"yes, that's fine."

Erlie put the package down and just had a chat with him.

"Any news lately?"

"According to the news almost a month ago, there were twelve attacks from the big monsters and the group of monsters, but most of them were from the Ezo people.

There's so much about the little monsters that I don't want to collect.

What about you, what do you have? ”

"They are preparing to attack the three acropolises of Chokoku, Kurikuni, and Sanuki in the fall, led by four or five big youkai.

It has been decided, that is, it is ready to steal everyone's food, and then starve most of the people to death, and those who can survive are used as slaves, and then attack the empty acropolis. ”

“！ Is the news true? ”

This is the news that Ellie got from Yuka Kazami, because the youkai invited her, but she refused, thinking it was just not interesting.

However, Wakayama knew that Alice had very little news, but it was all accurate. If this is true, I will have to return to immediately to report the news.

Not just for the reward, but for the catastrophe of such attacks.

If left unchecked, Iyo-no-Ni Na Island would have a total of six relatively large acropolises, and three of them would be attacked. Once the yokai gain a foothold, Iyo Island will completely become a paradise for youkai.

"What is known so far is true.

But the youkai I've fought haven't been able to prove the truth of this news, maybe it's just a guise for the big youkai, but I haven't had too much news.

Or let the officials arrange more manpower there and observe the monsters there, I hope this news will not come true. ”

"It's always good to be on guard.

So, let's not talk about it for now, I'll have to go back and report it right away. ”

"Okay, I wanted to get in touch with the exorcist, but with you, I didn't need to do that."

After a hurried gesture, he hurriedly turned back the way he came, and the way back to was still far away, and he couldn't afford to delay.

Erri picked up the package on the ground herself, watched Wakayama go, and prepared to go back.

This news was actually known earlier, about three months ago, but she thought that there would be news from the exorcist a long time ago.

But looking at this, the folk exorcists don't know this news, let alone the official family? She felt that it was better to tell now, because it would reduce the casualties among the villagers and innocent people.

Also, Elle doesn't want to be followed by others, because to be precise, as an exorcist, she has no place to live. Although they eat and sleep in the open, there is always a place to live, and the place where they live is usually a gathering place for exorcists.

Generally speaking, the relationship between exorcists is generally that of master and apprentice, and when the master dies, one person is appointed to take over, and then that apprentice teaches others.

So there are only a few masters, and the people of the official family are also disciples of folk exorcists. It's easy to slip through this kind of thing, and as long as the other party examines it a little closely, it will find a problem.

There are geniuses in the people who don't need to rely on learning, but geniuses have been identified for many years.

Therefore, she did not dare to go there, and this identification was very uncertain. What if there's a demon mirror or something, won't you be exposed?

Leaving the village, Ellie arrived at a place where there was no one, and quickly called Yakumo Purple with the signal between the gaps, and Purple was also very fast, directly opening the gaps and letting Elle in.

"Leigh, is it so early this time?"

Stepping out of the gap, Ellie walked right next to Purple, who asked with her eyes closed.

Instead, she meditated there, meditating and other methods to strengthen her demonic powers. And what about combat experience? Youxiang is at the bottom, just go to her when you're fine.

Youxiang likes to find faults, but she has been cultivating demon power recently, and now she is also quite famous among monsters: the always gentle flower demon actually has such a battle maniac, and it is difficult to think of not being famous.

But the current purple is not so famous: she doesn't eat people, she doesn't attack humans, she has fought with exorcists three times, and she has never died. It's also a problem for exorcists to remember such a monster, and no one wants to pay attention to her except for her realm abilities.

Three people... Or a monster, but they can get along peacefully, exchange hands from time to time, and exercise with each other. It can be regarded as deepening the relationship, but the compatibility of Yuxiang and Purple is still poor, and if it is not for the lubricant of Erli, the two can't get together.

The melee rankings of the three are: Yuka, Ellie, and Purple.

The demon power rankings of the three are: Purple, Yuxiang, and Erli.

In short, Erli is basically at the bottom.

"Ahh yes, solved today's commission.

But the exorcists don't know about the attacks of the big monsters.

Who are they? Amber Wolf Demon, Jean Chrysanthemum Demon, Biping Fire Demon, and... Belch... Summerhouse? Wrong wrong... uh..."

Yakumo opened her eyes and touched Erri's head, who smiled wryly.

"What I said before was right, there are also Charlotte Fox Demons, Wuku Fish Demons."

"Is it..."

Ellie didn't care about the attack. The first is that she doesn't have that ability, the second is that Zi doesn't want her to get involved in this kind of fight, and the third is that she doesn't want to die herself.

So, she just wants to be an ordinary exorcist normally, crusade against demons without intelligence, or help the villagers solve some beast attacks, which is her life.

It's about four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no movement around, and Yuxiang has a good grasp of the guiding power of vitality.

At least it wouldn't have been the strange thing that happened in the village a few years ago, so the forest here was still alive, not the dead silence of fear.

Looking down from the bottom of the mountain, there is no flower field in sight, and Yuka then uses the illusion. She would visit the two of them from time to time, and although she didn't need to come to dinner, she basically stayed to eat.

Purple's craftsmanship is not so good, let alone Yuxiang, so the cooking is all done by Erli, and the remaining two don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Time continues to flow, but everything is changing.
