At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nayin, the two walked together on the dirt road of Eden Village and were heading to Barrett's house.

The agility value of the two people is not low, so the general whispers among the villagers can be easily heard, not to mention that there are many righteous and bright discussions. And the content is almost entirely about dissatisfaction with Paliusis, a trend that is far from being visible, but even more pronounced than last night.

Feeling the atmosphere that permeated the streets and alleys, Hinata Nain couldn't help but lean towards Li Mengxi's side.

"Even though Barrett said last night that we should help us come up with ideas, I thought it would be better not to get involved in this kind of thing, it always felt a little scary. ”

"Hmm. Li Mengxi nodded, but showed a rather regretful expression, "However, maybe we have been involved." ”

"What's going on?"

"Barrett is the daughter of the village chief, and she will be at the center of a power dispute. If she's in danger, can we sit idly by?"

"Of course not! But is it that serious about power disputes or something?"

"I don't think it will come to this point, but this possibility is also there. That doesn't count. In fact, a large part of the reason for the current state of affairs is due to us. ”

"What does it have to do with us? If you do the math, we haven't even been here for twenty-four hours. Besides, we're here to help them, not to stir things up. ”

"Who are they talking about?"

"Of course it's the villagers here,......" As soon as the words came out, Hinata Naine also suddenly realized, "You mean, it is precisely because of our support that the villagers will attack that Palyusis with impunity?"

"Exactly. Paliusis was the captain of the guard and was in charge of a guard of more than a hundred people. These guards are the only regular armed force in the village, equivalent to the army. Generally speaking, the people will not brazenly argue with the army commander if they have nothing to rely on, especially if they have just experienced the horrors of the military junta. ”

"I see. But what are we going to do if you say that?"

"What to do?"

"That is, which side should we be on?"

"Don't stand on either side!" Li Mengxi sighed, "Does Barriet want us to stand on the side of the villagers and defeat the captain's guards, or will she help the captain of the guard suppress the villagers?"

"None of them are right! Barriet probably doesn't expect conflict!"

"Not bad. Barrett wants us to find a way to resolve the conflict, not to exacerbate it. That's why we can't stand on either side. There is violence in the guards, and the villagers in opposition to it have public opinion. Now that Barrett has returned and Chief Isis has awakened, the two sides are evenly matched. In such a situation, if we take sides, this equilibrium will be upset. The stronger side is likely to try to force the other side to submit, while the weaker side will feel like they are at the end of the road, both of which can easily lead to conflict. Besides, we're not here to be part of this kind of strife, are we?"

"That's right!" Hinata said with her right fist and her left palm, "We're here for the Ice Crystal Chalcedony!"

"Alas!" Li Mengxi shook his head helplessly, "Otherwise, why do you think we are going to the village chief now?"

"Isn't it okay to go to condolences?"

"Alas!"

"Why are you sighing!" Hinata said dissatisfiedly, "This is also quite a good reason, right! It's because of the way you are, you don't have friends!"

"Uh!" Li Mengxi, who was poked in the soft underbelly, couldn't help but show a smiling expression, "I was wrong, please calm your anger, Miss." ”

"Hmph!

As a result, the dispute between the two ended with Li Mengxi's defeat again.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Barrett's house, and through Barrett's introduction, they formally met the village chief and Mrs. Esis.

The conversation took place at the square table in the foyer, and Madame Esis, who had already learned that the content would involve secrets that had only been passed down among the village chiefs through the ages, had just exchanged a few words of greeting and consciously avoided it in the back room.

Without chatting too much, Li Mengxi straightforwardly explained the fundamental purpose of the group to visit Eden Village. Immediately, Chief Esis asked Barriet to take out a mahogany box from her bedroom and place it on the table.

"What is this?" Looking at the things in front of him, Li Mengxi asked in a tone of seeking advice.

This can be said to be the essence of the secrets that have been passed down from generation to generation in the village chief's family. "Originally, according to the rules, it was only on the premise that a noble adventurer would take the initiative to visit and explain something. However, although you have accepted Barrett's commission to come here, you can barely be considered qualified given that Barrett's commission is actually a crusade against the Third Apostle. ”

"Yes. Thank you so much. As he spoke, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain glanced at each other. Both of them saw the meaning in each other's eyes: too stereotypical!

At this moment, Village Chief Ethis took out a very old key and opened the lock on the box, slowly lifted the lid of the box with a screeching sound, and then turned the direction of the box and pushed it in front of Li Mengxi and the others.

"Please take it. ”

Regardless of the system setting, since people say that it is something that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is almost equivalent to a family heirloom. Hinata felt that something was inappropriate, so she asked, "Is it really okay to take it away like this?"

"Don't mind, it's something the rules dictate to be given to you. Esis smiled at the sight of their concerns.

"You're welcome. With that, Li Mengxi took out the contents of the box. A pickup list popped up in front of him, and when he clicked the confirm button, the box containing the items shattered into light chips and dissipated.

Dusty in the box for a long time, finally seeing the light of day are two rather old things. One is a dungeon map, and the other is a Bestiary. Together, these two things make a more detailed dungeon guide.

It's a really friendly setting.

Just when Hinata Naine was thinking like this, Li Mengxi discovered a key problem.

"Well, may I ask this copy, no, where is the place recorded on this map?"

"Ahem!" Chief Isis coughed twice in embarrassment, giving the two people on the other side a very bad premonition. "Well, that's where it is. Originally, there was a recording carrier, but ...... You also know that these things are already relics of the age of creation. Therefore, it is not surprising that even one thing will not stand the test of time. As a result, information about the location becomes word of mouth. However, my father died suddenly of an emergency, and on his deathbed he only had time to say to me that 'the entrance is in the north'. That's all. ”

It's so unkind!

Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain couldn't help but complain in their hearts at the same time. Naturally, though, they couldn't show it in front of Chief Isis and Barrett.

What's more, Barrett also put on a pitiful expression for the first time and said, "I'm really sorry." ”

"No, it doesn't matter. Since it's all like this, there's nothing you can do. However, are there any books that record the geography, history, and humanities of the village and its surrounding areas, such as local chronicles?"

Li Mengxi asked

"There is no systematic bibliography, but there are some sporadic materials in our family, which need to be sorted out a little. ”

"In that case, let's help too. ”

"No, this is the fault of our village chief's family, how can we trouble the nobles. Please go back and wait patiently for a while, and when it is finished, I will ask Barriet to send it over. ”

"In that case, I'm sorry for you. ”

The village chief of Esis has issued an order to evict the guests, Li Mengxi, what else can they say. The two had no choice but to politely say goodbye and leave.

After sending them out, Barriet turned to her father and asked, "Dad, are you going to call Uncle Palyusis and them for a meeting, so you make an excuse for me to avoid them?"

The daughter actually guessed her thoughts, and the village chief of Isis couldn't help but show surprise. However, you must know that Barrett is not mentally retarded, and as soon as Li Mengxi reminded her last night, she would naturally be able to notice it.

"Since you guessed, I won't hide it from you. Paliusis is in a bit of trouble this time, and I asked you to avoid it because I was worried that you and Rausis had a marriage contract. ”

After her father said this, Barriet remembered that she still had a marriage contract. To be honest, she never thought of actually marrying Rapis as promised, so she never took it to heart. However, now does not seem to be the right time to break this point.

"Is it really that bad?" asked Hinata Naine, purely worried about Uncle Palyusis.

"Last night, your Uncle Ayilid spoke most objectively. But it is only because of the most objective that I can really feel that the situation is really bad. It would be fine if Palyusis only practiced harsh government, but the problem is that his policy has made a victim, and these are two completely different problems!"

"But Uncle Palyusis is also thinking about the village! ”

"Of course I understand! The question is, do the villagers understand? For the victim, is it possible to explain his good intentions if he understands his good intentions?"

"Dad, can't you really think of a way?"

"The only thing I can do is to expect the villagers to be forgiving and forgiving. Otherwise...... The village chief is the spokesman of the will of the villagers, and he must not use his own will to distort the will of the people. ”

"You're just letting everyone understand the truth......"

"It's a twist, as long as the words come out of my mouth, that's it. ”

"Well, then, I'm going to help Uncle Paliusis in my own way. ”

"Your way, do you want to ask the nobles for help?"

"Hmm!"

"Can you predict the consequences of this?"

"No, but I believe in them! Even if something goes bad, I won't run away!"

After staring solemnly at his daughter's determined gaze for a long time, Chief Isis smiled.

"I'm not wrong, you've grown up. In that case, do what you want. ”

"I won't let you down, Daddy!"
