Chapter 26 The Old Place
The bandits, who were full of blood and ready to kill all sides a second ago, have now become alone. He couldn't believe that there were only two people on the other side, but they killed them in two or three clicks like a chicken and a dog.
He held his sword and never dared to swing it, because the sharp short sword was already at his throat.
"I ask, you say." Orlan put away his bow and arrows.
"My lord, I will say everything, I will say everything!" The robber's legs and stomachs were shaking uncontrollably.
"Who is Ted, what is the Undead Legion, and the last question is that you did this village?"
Ted...... Lord Ted! He is the miracle of the gods, he is the chosen one! At the mention of Ted, the robber's eyes lit up with excitement as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"The Chosen One, what miracle did he show you?"
"My lord, he is immortal, and he will rule all on behalf of the gods! He ......"
"Okay, stop, so you're sacking the village?"
"This ...... It's not our fault, it's not our fault. It was they who disobeyed the will of the adults and caused us to send down divine punishment! ”
"Huh...... Divine punishment? Orlan turned and led the horse.
"Lillian, he's yours."
Before the robber could open his mouth to beg for mercy, he was clutching his neck and vomiting a large mouthful of blood.
"So we're tied!" Lillian wiped the blood from her sword and followed.
The village was in shambles, with wooden houses and haystack roofs burned to the ground. There were some broken and decomposed corpses everywhere, but not too many, and probably the women and children who survived were taken away by the robbers. After all, robbers are not only plundering money and food, but also a certain population.
"Those scavengers have been here more than once, and it looks like we're not going to get much out of it." Lillian proposed.
"Well, let's go to the next village to find out." Oran didn't say that the next village he would go to was where he and the old hunter had lived.
It was only half a day's walk on horseback, and they arrived quickly, but fortunately the village did not seem to be affected. Several children can also be seen singing nursery rhymes and chasing each other on the side of the road.
Somehow, Oran breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be in a much better mood. Lillian could feel the change in Oran, and her gloomy mood had changed for the better after she had just finished killing someone.
The villagers didn't seem surprised to look at the hooded hunter on the horse, but the beautiful girl like Lillian was pointed at by many young men, and some even whistled to get her attention.
Dismounted at the door of a tavern, Oran expertly tethered his horse to a post with a manger full of forage. Then he turned and pushed open the tavern door, Lillian following him.
The tavern is not very large, at most it can fit a dozen or twenty horizontal tables. The walls and pillars are decorated with folk customs, and the owner of the tavern stands behind a half-height platform, behind which is a fireplace with a fireplace, and a cauldron on top of the fire seems to be cooking some kind of delicacies, and the aroma fills the whole room.
"Hello ma'am, two glasses of fresh mixed juice, two portions of chowder, and some rye bread......"
"I want a glass of milk." Lilian interjected.
"Oh, oh, isn't this little Oran? I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've been running to the mountains for more than two months? Thank goodness you're back safely. "The enthusiastic tavern owner, Lady Andrea, is in her fifties and can say that she grew up watching Oran. And he is also one of the very few people in the village who does not look at Oran without colored glasses.
Even the old hunter was polite to Andrea when he was alive, and whenever he came here, he would put away the sloppy look of a drunkard. So he always asked Orlan to go to the next village to buy him wine.
"Yes ma'am, it's just a pity that I didn't get much out of it this time."
"Just come back safely. By the way, is this cute blonde girl your friend? I don't think I've seen her before. ”
"Well, I guess I picked it up."
"Oran, you...... Dear Madam, just call me Lillian. I am a friend of Oran that I met on my travels. Lillian blushed and said coquettishly, seemingly a little dissatisfied with Oran's answer, but pleased with the fact that Orlan acquiesced to the fact that she was a "friend".
"Hehaha, it seems that little Oran has finally made friends, and he used to be alone. So how about the friendship between Orlan and Lillian when I treat me to this meal? Andrea prepared everything they had ordered and put it in front of them.
"This ......" Iolan's character would of course refuse.
"Thank you for your generosity, ma'am, and may the gods bless you." Before Orlan could refuse, Lillian rushed to answer.
"Haha, it's a good little girl, Oran you have to cherish it." Lady Andrea smiled lightly.
The meal was a pleasure, as they hadn't eaten so seriously at the table for more than two months. Sure enough, the hot vegetable and meat chowder soup, plus a whole piece of rye flatbread is the easiest thing for people who are tired of the journey to forget their tiredness, and a glass of juice after a meal is even better!
"Oran, you should drink more milk. Otherwise, it won't grow tall, and it won't grow there. Lillian, who was sitting across from her, was going to hit back at Orlan's teasing at her.
"Huh? So you drink milk to grow taller and grow faster? Oran clearly didn't understand what she meant.
"Isn't it?" Lillian straightened her chest, and that seemed to be the only thing she could match Orlan's.
"No, I don't. According to the laws of human development, I have just entered the second period of development. Although my constitution is a bit peculiar, I expect my strength to increase exponentially in the next few years......" Orlan replied to Lillian very sternly.
"So, you ...... You're underage! Lillian said in astonishment, opening her little mouth with a circle of white milk.
"Well, according to human calculations, I should have just entered the second development period of sixteen years old by now."
“…… Goo, so you're not as old as me, haha! I'm two years older than you, and I can be your sister! The blonde girl slammed herself to her feet with her hands on the table, bent over and the tip of her nose almost touching Oran's face, and she could see in those big green eyes the excitement of discovering a new world.
"Tsk, did you eat hallucinogenic mushrooms by mistake, or did you not wake up?" Orlan looked at Lillian with the eyes of a caring fool.
"Hey, little Oran. Mushrooms are not an option in Andrea's recipe today. Out of nowhere, Ms. Andrea interjected.
"Looks like your assumption doesn't hold up, little Oran!" Lillian cheered.
