Chapter 137: I didn't expect you to be this kind of person
Although the crowd is still skeptical of Ari's claim that he single-handedly killed sixteen skeletons, the skeletons' bones are still there, and there are people who can prove that Eri came from that direction.
So for the time being, everyone can only believe this statement.
At this time, Leopold suddenly thought of a question, if the skeleton soldiers had been wiped out by the Eri group a long time ago, then what were they doing all night last night?
Immediately, he confronted Ari with a dark face and asked, "Why didn't you tell us all when you killed the skeleton soldiers, do you know how lucky everyone was to keep watch all night?"
The crowd listened in righteous indignation, and they felt that Leopold's words made sense. They had worked hard all night, and if Ari couldn't give a reasonable explanation, they would, they would...... Ignore Ari together!
It's not that they don't want an explanation, it's that they suddenly think of a question. Even if Ari doesn't explain, what can they do with Ari?
Can't be provoked, can't be provoked......
Aren't it hard? Ari tilted his head and thought about it, then suddenly laughed, and said confidently, "Can I say it? If I had said it earlier, wouldn't everyone's ten gold coins be gone?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, it was the first time they had heard such a fresh and refined explanation, but this ...... It seems to make sense.
You must know that although most of these children are children of nobles, most of them are also very down-and-out, after all, in order to show their strength, most of the nobles with rich families have chosen the qualification of a hundred gold coins for a separate examination, and those who stay here are either the children of down-and-out nobles or ordinary civilian families.
A copper coin is a lot of money for anyone their age, let alone a gold coin. As for earning ten gold coins a night, that is not even a thought of it.
As a result, everyone's eyes on Ari became different, and it was a mood mixed with joy and gratitude. This is a person who thinks about everyone!
When Leopold looked at everyone's eyes, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He gave the gold coins together, but everyone was grateful to Ari?
"Okay, don't be too stingy. As for being depressed for that little bit of gold, it's a big deal...... I'll give it back to you?" said Ari as he walked over and put his arm around Leopold's shoulders and smiled.
Leopold's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ari. I'm stingy? Are you really speaking without conscience?
"Who's for the gold? You don't want to spew blood!" Leopold angrily raised his right hand and grabbed Eri's arm on his left shoulder, and thrust Eri's chest with his right hand to break free from Eri's arms.
As a result, Ari stood still in place, still smiling and looking at Leopold: "No need to explain, I understand." ”
Leopold struggled violently, but his strength was negligible to Eri, and no matter how much he broke Eri's hand or pushed Eri's chest, Eri's arm was like a steel hoop on his shoulder.
It's just that they are frozen there, and everyone looks at Leopold's constantly changing face and can't help but look inexplicable.
Carol hadn't spoken since Ari admitted it, and it wasn't until she saw this scene at this time that she covered her eyes and turned her head to spit out, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." ”
“......”
After eating the food prepared for them by the villagers, everyone began to walk around the village to find out the situation, after all, now that the threat of skeleton soldiers has been removed, the most important thing is the knowledge assessment.
Only Ari kept chasing Carol, explaining that things weren't what she thought they were.
However, Carol said expressionlessly: "No need to explain, I understand, although I don't agree with you, I understand you." ”
You understand a big-headed ghost! Ari looked at Carol's sympathetic gaze, and suddenly looked melancholy, why can't he explain it clearly?
Time passed quickly, and everyone wandered around the village for an afternoon, but nothing progressed. Just as they came to the village chief to prepare a dinner for them, exhausted, things took a turn for the worse.
The village chief looked at them and said with a smile on his face: "Warriors, the pharmacists and carvers in the village have recently encountered a problem and are asking for help from me, but I can't do anything about it, and now I have no choice but to turn to the warriors for help." ”
Eri's eyes lit up, this was the rhythm of the beginning of the task, he hurriedly looked at the village chief and asked, "What is the problem?" ”
"There are a lot of medicinal plants near the village, and the apothecary wants to collect them to make them, but the villagers can't tell what they do, so they have to turn to the warriors for help. If you can find more than 10 different herbs, the apothecary will be happy to pay you. After a pause, the village continued:
"There are also carvers who have received a lot of orders recently, and they are too busy for a while, and they want to recruit a few talented apprentices, so the warriors can go over and try it, and maybe have a chance. ”
Ari asked, "Where are we going to find them?" ”
The chief replied, "The apothecary lives on the east side of the village, and the carver lives on the west side of the village. ”
Early the next morning, everyone decided to go to the east of the village to find the village chief's pharmacist to inquire about the task of medicinal materials. After all, compared to carving, the difficulty of finding medicinal herbs is much lower.
Ai Rui also went with him, although he was quite proficient in medicinal materials, but this was a strange place after all, who knew if the appearance and medicinal properties of medicinal materials were consistent with what he had learned.
But when he arrived, he was disappointed, and the pharmacist gave each of them a pamphlet, and sent them away. Ai Rui looked through it, and there were only more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials that were described on it, all of which were some basic medicinal materials, and the most important thing was that there were no pictures yet.
Ari casually looked around, and saw a small half of the crowd holding the pamphlet, helpless, with a blank look on their faces.
Obviously, this part is from a civilian family, and it is estimated that they have not yet learned to read and write, so they can't understand the content of the pamphlet at all.
A few people wanted to ask something, but they saw the pharmacist who was not smiling, and then looked at the people around them who kept looking at books, and finally chose to be silent.
Ari shook his head, got up and stopped the pharmacist who was returning to the house, and asked loudly, "What if I can't read?"
Sure enough, as soon as they heard his question, the ears of the small group of children were pricked up, and their eyes were full of anticipation, waiting earnestly for the pharmacist's answer.
The pharmacist glanced at Ari and said, "There is an academy in the village, and as long as you help the villagers to work, you can go and study." ”
"Okay, thanks. Ari nodded, indicating that he understood.
