"Aren't you pretending?"

Xia didn't arrive angrily.

"Hey...... How to pretend in front of you, you are my master. ”

Ron touched the back of his head, an embarrassed smile on his face.

"I never said I wanted to be your master."

Natsu tapped his head with a sheathed sword:

"Don't talk about those useless things, I have a very important thing to do here today, maybe you can help."

She picked out a part of the Black Calamity and told Ron about it, then asked:

"You seem to be from this village, can you think of a way to get them out of here for a while?"

Ron froze.

Although he also knew the legend about that terrible knight, he did not expect that one day it would be related to him.

“…… I'm afraid it's a little difficult, silver-haired sister. ”

After a while, he ended his sluggish state and said in embarrassment:

"Although I grew up here when I was a child, you should have seen just now, I don't have a good relationship with the people in the village."

He smiled wryly:

"It had to do with my father...... In short, if I say it, not only will no one believe it, but it may also be counterproductive. ”

Then he thought of something, and pleaded in a whisper:

"I know you're very powerful, sister, and it won't be difficult to raze this village if you want, but I still hope you can use gentler means......"

As soon as he said this, a transparent system option suddenly popped up in front of Xia's eyes:

1. Accede to his request

2. Don't agree

"Stephanie, what's going on?"

Xia looked at the options in front of him in a daze:

"Didn't you say that the system options only appear when they are related to the main quest?"

Ron's strength is so weak, how can it intersect with the main quest?

"Master, this is a trigger mission."

The little Lori in black quickly searched the taskbar and came to a conclusion:

"If we hadn't come to this village, this quest wouldn't have happened, and if it did, it would have been related to the main story; The master chooses carefully, although this kind of task will not fail the main line if he chooses it wrong, but he may lose a good opportunity. ”

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Ron didn't dare to disturb the other party, so he just stood there nervously, waiting for her to reply.

Noticing his actions, Xia had a new understanding of system options in his heart:

"It's obviously all dialogue choices, Wendy has a time limit, Ron doesn't, he can only honestly wait for my reply; Could it be that the content of the options has something to do with the difference in strength between the two sides? The strong and high-status side can have an advantage. ”

After thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed to Ron's request:

"Well, I'll take a gentle approach."

Then he motioned to the little Lori in black and pressed the confirmation button.

"I knew that the silver-haired sister was the best!"

Ron jumped up happily, where was the mature old man just now, more like an ordinary teenager.

"Ron, I have one thing to ask you, but if you don't want to answer, you can leave it alone."

Natsu looked at him and asked:

"The reason why you have a bad relationship with the villagers just now has something to do with your father...... Can you tell me more about this? ”

Now that it's certain that Ron has a connection to the main quest, it's time to find a way to get information out of him.

"Actually, there's nothing you can't say."

Ron scratched his head, and Natsu noticed that his action was similar to Uncle Black Knife.

"This Ron can't be Maurius's illegitimate son, right?" She gossiped in her heart.

"My father once stole a treasure from the village that had been passed down for generations, but it is said that he just took it to do something and then sent it back, but he disappeared without a trace and was never seen again."

"That's been many years."

Ron's voice lowered:

"I was very young at the time, my mother died not long after, and I was always discriminated against in the village, they called me the son of a traitor, a dirty thief, and they often troubled me, but I always fought back."

Speaking of this, he became proud again:

"There are many of them, and their strength is greater than mine, and if they can't beat them openly, I will secretly sinister them; The old blacksmith Marl taught me some trades, and then I made a crossbow myself, and when I had nothing to do, I hid in the shadows and shot their ass......"

"Treasure, this is a bit of a problem."

Xia didn't listen to him talk about how he was a yin person, but grasped the point of the words:

"Since it's such an important thing, as an outsider, asking about this kind of secret as soon as you open your mouth will definitely be suspicious of the villagers, but how can I continue to do the task if I don't ask?"

Intimidation and coercion?

She had agreed to Ron's request just now, and if she changed her options without permission, God knows what the consequences would be.

"Gentle means...... That's all there is to it. ”

She came up with an idea.

"Ron, do you have an inn in your village?"

She asked the boy:

"Then, tell me what kind of outsiders here you are not to be wary of or disgusted, and I intend to convince them myself."

"There is one hotel, but the conditions are very basic."

Ron replied:

"But it may be difficult to convince these people, because as far as I know, that treasure is also hidden in the village, and the instructions of our ancestors are not to touch it, which means that when disaster strikes, everyone cannot take it with them, and that old stubborn Miles attaches great importance to the legacy of his ancestors, and with his fierce character, he would rather die himself than leave the treasure to escape."

"Miles? Who's that. Natsu asked about the unfamiliar name.

"Our village chief, an old immortal."

Ron seemed to have a bad impression of him, with disdain in his tone:

"As for the outsiders you asked, because of the remote location, we are in short supply of doctors and medicines, and some traders who can bring new gadgets are also very popular, and the rest are knowledgeable people and circuses, the village chief Miles thinks the former can bring wisdom, and the circus is a child's favorite."

"Stephanie, check what happened to the auto mode today."

Natsu said in his mind.

"The profession is a fire magician, a singer, an exorcist; The character is a mischievous cat lady, a miser, and an insidious fraudster. ”

The little Lori in black looked at the page and replied.

“…… Cat lady? ”

Natsu almost thought she had misheard.

Is there such a thing?

"It's a young woman of the Cat-People clan, a kind of orc, the master."

The little Lori in black explained:

"However, due to their weak strength, they tend to become vassals of other orcs, and there are not many of them, the cat people are matrilineal clans, and there are few males in them and their status is not high; The races are Assassins and Thieves, and very few can use magic, which is often the elite of the Cat-People clan. ”

"Everyone talks about orcs and changes color, I thought the orcs in this world were ugly monsters...... So there are other beast girls who save zài? ”

Natsu was a little curious about what those orc women looked like, but there were more important things to do in front of him.

"There is no use for the profession that I randomly came to today, and so is the personality."

She couldn't help but be troubled:

"Do you want to wait for a refresh at 12 o'clock? Wouldn't that be a waste of time? ”

"Anyway, it's getting dark now, so why don't you use the succubus's bewitching talent to ask the villagers at night, this should be considered a gentle measure, right?"

With her current mental strength, there is no need for people to dream or coma at all, just using her voice can make ordinary people lose their vigilance, so as to voluntarily tell what she knows.

"Silver-haired sister, do you want to enter the village? I've heard that there have been a lot of monsters around here lately, and it's not safe outside...... No, no, you shouldn't be afraid of those monsters. ”

Ron scratched his head:

"So I'll go back first? If there is anything, please feel free to ask. Originally, I just came back to take a look, and since you have such an important thing to do, I'll help you with it, and I used to do errands in the thieves. ”

"Tell me the residence of your village chief and those important people in the village, and I will visit them in a while."

Natsu asks Ron for the addresses of some people, and prepares to start the operation in the evening.

Ron knew that the other party was not the type to be alone with people, so he didn't stay here with a cheeky face, and after bowing, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"This little Ron seems to be a little more mature, I remember that in the past he would only babble and scream, and when something happened, he immediately wanted to rush up, but now he has become able to think about the big picture, well, this is good."

The summer costume commented pretendically.

You weren't much better than him before, master!

The little Lori in black didn't dare to tell the truth, because she would probably be beaten up.

"Book of Shadows!"

Natsu transforms into a succubus on a tree and flies into the village at night.

She first found a place near the village chief's house to hide, and asked the black-clothed little Lori to investigate whether the other party was at home.

"Master, there's only one old woman in the house, and no one else."

The little Lori in black reported.

"Go around the village and see if there are any gatherings, and keep an eye out for everyone's information to make sure nothing slips through."

Due to the influence of novels and film and television dramas, Xia has always believed that there is no shortage of hidden masters among the people, don't look at the small number of people in this village, it will be funny if the boat capsizes in the gutter accidentally.

It turned out to be different from what she expected, and the strongest person in the village turned out to be Ron.

You must know that Ron is just a second-turn warrior, and her actual combat power is not as good as when she was first reincarnated (after meeting the artifact Lori), such strength can also become the first, and the overall level of this village can be imagined.

"Anyway, there really aren't any powerful monsters here, if it were near the forest, such a village would have been in ruins a long time ago."

She and the black-clothed little Lori waited patiently until the village chief returned home, Xia flew in quietly through the window, easily used the sleep spell to put the others into a deep sleep, and then came to the study and sneaked behind the old man Miles.

It was an old man with a white beard, who didn't seem to have much energy, and who was coughing incessantly, as if there was something wrong with his throat or lungs.

"LV73, a turn swordsman, master."

The little Lori in black reported his information.

"Miles, it's a nice day."

Natsu used a seductive voice.

Although most of the succubus's talent is related to desire, there are other types, otherwise it is really a bit of a psychological barrier for her to use, after all, someone likes a girl, and the other party is a little older.

"Huh? Oh...... It's very good. ”

Miles stopped coughing and replied subconsciously.

"With such good weather, why don't you go outside in the sun and call everyone for a meeting? It's a waste. ”

Xia didn't ask him directly about the treasure, but slowly walked around in circles, looking for a breakthrough in his words.

"I can't help it."

Miles seemed to feel a little tired, closed his eyes and sighed:

"Recently, monsters have appeared around the village...... Gitari is the only village in the vicinity, more than 200 kilometres from the nearest town, and we can't afford to have a patrol stationed here, and it will be too late for anything to happen, so we have to consult with everyone about a safe solution. ”

"Yes, the defenses of our village are too weak, the walls are not high, and they are all wooden fences; In this way, as long as a slightly stronger monster attacks, many people in the village may die. ”

Xia continued his words.

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about."

The voice full of favorability and the topic he was most concerned about at the moment made Miles's head slowly droop and enter a defenseless state:

"I asked the rich people in the village for some money, and I was going to hire some mercenaries to help, they were cheaper than the patrols, and they were not so arrogant."

"But I heard that there are some lawless guys among the mercenaries, aren't you afraid of luring wolves into the house?" Xia raised objections.

"My old friend has an errand in the mercenary branch in the city, so I can ask him to check which people have a good reputation, so that he can avoid trouble to the greatest extent."

"That's a great idea...... However, I heard that some mercenaries have targeted our village for some secret reasons. ”

Xia saw that the other party was completely out of vigilance, so he went around to the topic:

What is the reason for this? I'm curious. ”

"The reason for the secret? Hum! ”

Miles snorted, in an unpleasant tone:

"Not for that thing in the village."

"What's that? Chief Miles, I've heard that this thing is important to the village...... And it is a treasure handed down by our ancestors. ”

Xia finally said the sensitive word treasure.

"Yes, how can the treasures left by the ancestors be taken away by others?"

Myers lamented:

"But in spite of the peace of mind, our ancestors left a complete means, and no one can take it unless it is a god!"

"What means, is it an infinitely powerful magic array? Or is it a secret room that is hard to find? ”

After saying this, Xia held his breath and waited for the old village chief's answer.

"Powerful? You've listened to Jeff's again, no shadow. ”

Miles shook his head slightly:

"It's not a secret room...... That's true that thing is indeed a magic array, but it doesn't have any attack power, it's a space altar. ”R1152
