Chapter 17 Entrustment (II)
Erin sighed, seeming a little sad. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"She came to our village a week ago, when several wild boars ran into the village, and after she helped us get rid of the wild boars, we asked her to stay at home." Irene said, "I heard her say that she passed through the village to explore the Dungeon of Sain. Because there is no money to stay, she came to our village to eat, when she left, she mortgaged this ornament as a accommodation fee to me and grandpa, at that time we all said that there was no accommodation fee, but she still insisted on leaving this thing, saying that when she got the treasure from the dungeon back, she would come to redeem it immediately. ”
"That's ......"
Xia Di felt a little wrong, but he couldn't say why, "What is the result?" ”
"She didn't come back." Erin shook her head: "I heard from the people in the village that that dungeon is quite dangerous, if you don't come back within two days, you will definitely die, and now it's the fourth day." So...... I think she's ......"
"That's right." Xia Di touched her head as a sign of comfort.
After comforting the girl a little, Xia Di continued to think.
From the conversation just now, he learned the truth about Erin's ability to use magic, and also learned that there will be adventurers to explore the dungeon, which is the same as in the game. But he had a strange feeling, especially when he heard the description of the adventurer's appearance and the place where he gave the ring to Erin, which was especially sensitive, and when it came to it, giving the villagers precious magic ornaments was a bit like the behavior of a local tyrant player...... No...... Right?
No, there's value in trying it out.
Xia Di instantly had a new plan in his heart.
"I'm sorry." Xia Di coughed lightly, "I seem to have misunderstood a lot of things, what I just said was based on the premise that you know how to do magic, but...... If you don't know magic, if you can't use it as a combat force, I can't guarantee your safety, although I have a certain strength, but I'm not good at protecting people, even if I am willing to protect you, I can't change the danger. So...... Do you understand what I mean? ”
Xia Di was a little ruthless, but helpless.
"I've got my pay." However, after listening to Xia Di's reply, Erin's face was still the same, and she didn't look discouraged at all so she took out a small cloth bag from her pocket and handed it over, "Although there are only 30 copper coins, please smile." ”
"It's not about money......"
"What's the problem then?" Erin paused for a moment and suddenly realized, "Do you want to pay with your body?" ”
“…… Yes? ”
"Do you want me to pay with my body?" The little girl's brown pupils were full of strange colors.
The girl in front of her is at most in her early 12s, although her facial features are soft and quite beautiful, but her poor figure and petite body still make her look bad in law.
Could it be that this world, like the Middle Ages, is early in adulthood?
No, no, no, that's not the point.
"I'm not interested in children." Xia Di refused.
“…… That can't be discussed. Erin puffed out her cheeks, as if a little angry.
It always felt like she was angry in the wrong direction.
Xia Di was about to say something to persuade the girl, when suddenly, a brief burst of tinnitus appeared in his brain.
Immediately, he felt a chill under his feet slowly rushing upward.
And the source of the chill turned out to be the girl in front of her.
"Take me to Bedford." The girl made the exact same request.
Her eyes were like a sunset, a dreamy golden yellow.
"Oh, no." In this regard, Xia Di refused without any hesitation.
Erin tilted her head and spoke again.
"Take me to Bedford."
"Nope."
"......" Her eyes widened as if she were looking at something incomprehensible, and she paused for a few seconds and asked, "Tell me what you're most proud of." ”
"What?" Xia Di frowned suspiciously.
"Doesn't that make sense...... the girl looked at Xia Di thoughtfully, "I just want you to tell me about the length you are most proud of." ”
"......" Xia Di was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Am I being molested by Lori! ”
The sound of shattering glass was heard in the air.
At the same time, the girl's pupils returned to their original brown, as if the magic attached to Cinderella had disappeared.
The girl Erin said a little lonely, "It seems that my ability is not effective against you. ”
"What did you just do to me?" Xia Di felt a hint of disobedience.
Erin took a deep breath and sighed, "I just used a hint on you, this is my talent to protect [Perception]. ”
"Talent? What is that? ”
It was the first time that Xia Di had heard this kind of words that were similar to talking about superpowers, and he was a little confused.
"Don't you know the talent?" Erin said confusedly, "The so-called talent refers to the special talent given by God, and unlike the bloodline inheritance such as magicians or warriors, it is a special ability that cannot be passed on to future generations. My contemplation is the ability that comes with me at birth, attached to my eyes. ”
Erin asked, tilting her head suddenly.
"By the way, what is a superpower?"
How would she know what she was thinking!?
Xia Di thought in surprise.
"My eyes can occasionally see a lot of things, including other people's thoughts, physical condition, strength of force, and so on." Erin seemed to read Xia Di's thoughts again, explaining: "If necessary, you can also hint at others to make them fall into a state of confusion or obedience, but the success rate of these is very low, and the maintenance time is very short. ”
In other words, is it something similar to a special skill?
Xia Di listened to Erin's explanation and nodded in acceptance. He originally thought that this world was similar to the original world skill system, but the reality told him otherwise.
"Leave it alone, that is, are you going to use that ability to imply that I accept your request?"
"Hmm." Erin nodded, "It's a pity that it's completely useless, maybe your mental resistance is too strong, oh, if you want to fight, please slap someone other than your face." ”
"Don't fight."
Xia Di reached for Erin's head and poked it gently.
Erin let out a puzzled "huh".
"Ask you something." Xia Di withdrew his hand, "Why did you appear on the battlefield last night, didn't you ask you to take refuge with the others?" “
"I have a bad premonition...... I was worried that something might happen to Uncle Thomas and Brother Thales, so I stopped over and took a look......"
"Could it be...... Did you use this skill on Roddy as well? ”
"Roddy?" Erin looked surprised.
"The man who shot the leader of the rebels."
"Ahh Erin seemed to remember something, "At that time, he had already raised his bow to aim at you, I really had no choice but to let him fall into chaos, after all, standing on such a high place, the other party couldn't hear the order......"
"That's it......" Xia Di patted Erin's thin shoulder, "That one is written off, and I won't care about you just now." ”
Erin was silent for a while, thoughtfully pressing the place that had just been touched by Xia Di, and asked, "So, can I ask you to take me to the city again." ”
Xia Di was silent for a while and sighed.
In his opinion, although he could refuse the stubborn girl in front of him again, he could not resist her determination, so he felt that there was only one thing he could do.
"One last thing I ask, if I still say no, will you go back to the village obediently?"
Erin was silent for a moment and shook her head.
"I see." Xia Di stretched and walked to the nearby spring pool, "From now on, I will be your travel partner and your guardian, but, on the other hand, you must also listen to me, otherwise I will not be able to guarantee your safety on the road." ”
Erin nodded.
"So, there's not much time, let's decide on the next route right away." Xia Di smiled slightly, and handed the kettle that he had been holding in his hand, "But before that...... I'm thirsty, can you help me get a jug of water? ”
