Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 14 The Mountain Road to the Town

Most of the villagers present at this moment believed Russell's account, after all, they all thought that Russell was just an ordinary traveler, and they never thought about the possibility of Russell defeating the ogre alone, only the village chief seemed to be aware of the clue.

Because the village chief had traveled to the kingdom when he was young, he also knew some details about the battle.

Judging by the extent of Russell's torn clothes and his broken iron sword, this thrilling battle was not as simple as Russell said.

But what's the use of doubting Russell's words now? Russell was the first to rush out of the house, and it was he who had been confronting the ogre for a long time to save the village from danger, and these reasons alone were enough to show that Russell was a good man.

Therefore, the village chief didn't say much, but looked at the burnt animal pen and sighed heavily.

Tonight, all the villagers in the village could not get a good night's sleep, and many of them were anxiously waiting for the village chief's briefing, no one knowing whether they would see the sunshine tomorrow.

It wasn't until the village chief sent someone to tell the people waiting in the village square that they let go of their worries and began to hug each other and cheer.

It was only after the village chief carried back the man whose throat had been bitten by a tiger that the joyful atmosphere at the scene fell silent, and the people were silent around the familiar man, and the man's wife and daughter were grief-stricken with the man's corpse.

Betty hid behind her mother and quietly peeked at the man's corpse, she hadn't seen the deceased villagers, but she had never seen a corpse with such a tragic death, and she couldn't help but be a little worried about Russell's safety, just now Russell's brother also went there to support the village chief's grandfather!

A teenager always has a lot of things on her mind, and once this thought comes to her mind, all kinds of possibilities come out of her mind like a tide.

At this time, Betty suddenly felt that her hair was being ruffled, who was playing a prank?

Betty turned her head to look at her with reluctance to think about it, only to find that it was Russell's brother standing behind her, smiling at her.

"Brother Russell, you're finally back!"

Betty was in a hurry and hugged Russell's arm, as if she didn't believe that Russell could return safely.

Betty's call also caught Betty's parents' attention, and they turned to look at Russell in amazement.

The village chief and the villagers all returned with injuries, but Russell had no injuries except for the damage to his clothes, which made them feel very strange.

"Russell, your luck is good, it turned out that you just broke some clothes, it's okay, I'll help you mend your clothes when I go back!"

Betty's mother helped Russell dust off his clothes and comforted Russell as it should.

Russell smiled and didn't explain much, at this time the injury in his lower back had completely healed, which only made him more sure of his guess.

Although the treasure Dawn held by Russell was shattered in order to resist the full force of the Abyss Lord Edward's blow, for some reason the healing power contained in the Dawn Radiance entered Russell's body, although the healing power was slightly weakened, but he could also ignore some minor injuries.

Betty's father smiled and said to Russell: "I really misjudged you in the past, Russell, you are really a man, you ran up to help the village chief without the slightest hesitation, you really make me admire!"

The morning sun suddenly appeared from the foothills, casting the first rays of morning light on the eastern sky, and Russell was a little surprised to see the bright sunlight shining on everyone, and before he knew it, it was already the morning of the next day.

At this time, the village chief had already sent someone to deal with the aftermath of the sacrificed villagers, and he was coming to Russell with tiredness.

Betty's parents couldn't help but feel a little restrained when they saw the village chief come here, and the village chief once again saved the lives of the whole village, which was a kindness that they could not repay.

The village chief coughed a few times, looked at Russell's torn clothes seriously, and showed a little heartache on his face,

"Russell, you are an outsider this time, but you have the courage to face the terrifying enemy for our village, I really can't express my gratitude to you, then so be it, I give you this dress, I hope you can understand my kindness!"

After saying that, the village chief seemed to be very tired, ignored the care of Betty's parents, and walked towards his house in a leisurely manner.

Russell knew that this was the village chief's greatest gift, and that this dress was the most valuable thing in his family, and it was also his memory of his youth, so the value contained in this dress was very great.

Russell returned to Betty's house to rest for a while, but the exhausted Betty family could not rest, Betty's father had to take care of the fields under the hot sun, and Betty's mother had to clean up the room and make lunch, which was the daily routine of ordinary villagers.

Russell was lying in bed and not immediately sleeping, looking at the clouds in the sky through the open window, what happened last night proved that the world was also full of dangers, and even such a comfortable village was surrounded by orc thieves and thieves.

Are there orcs in this world? Are these orcs brought by the invasion of the abyssal forces, or are they native species? Russell didn't know anything about it.

Russell lay on the bed and sighed deeply, it seemed that he still didn't know much about this place, and there was no way to stay in this village all the time, and he had to wait until the day of the market to rush to the nearby town of Sierra to find out the news of this place, so that he could make his next plan.

Russell thought about these tedious things, and couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, and before he knew it, Russell fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, a few more days and nights passed, and today was the day for the people in the village to gather for the market, but because of the fire in the village, most of the villagers were helping the residents whose houses were on fire to rebuild their houses, and the things stored in the village were still enough for the village, so the village chief decided not to participate in the market this time.

However, Russell had told the village chief a few days earlier that he was going to the town of Sierra next door, and the village chief thought about it, and sent Uncle Buddy, who was familiar with the road, to lead the way, and assured Russell that with Buddy leading the way, he could take him out even in the mountains.

The village chief looked at Buddy, who had promised to lead the way, as he was packing his belongings, but turned around and noticed something unusual.

I saw Russell on the side sitting a little uncertain, as if he had something unspeakable to say to him.

The village chief asked a little confused: "Russell, if you don't pack your luggage here, do you have anything to tell me?"

Russell was relieved to see that the village chief was the first to ask him, and he hurriedly pulled a person over from the door.

The village chief took a closer look, and it turned out to be little Betty, and he asked puzzledly, "Russell, why did you bring Betty here? Isn't she supposed to do housework at home?"

Russell's face showed a helpless look, and he had to tell the village chief the ins and outs of the matter.

"Yesterday afternoon, I told Betty that I was going to town for a few days, but she pestered me to come with me to town, and I couldn't help but bring her here, and I think you have to know about it. ”

The village chief stroked his beard and asked, "Do Betty's parents know that she is going to town with you?"

Russell shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it.

Hearing this, the village chief decisively refused: "How can this be, her parents don't know, and I won't agree to let her go to town!"

Betty burst into tears when she heard the words of the village chief, who himself was the one who was most afraid to see the child cry.

Betty shouted with tears in her eyes, "Grandpa the village chief, I haven't been out of the village for a long time, please let me follow Brother Russell to the town!"

The village chief looked at Betty with tears in front of him, and didn't know if he saw Betty's true thoughts in her heart, or if he really couldn't hold back Betty's tears, or agreed to Betty's request,

"Eh, I'm getting old, I can't face the crying of my children now, so be it, Betty, you go to town with Russell and your Uncle Buddy, and I'll take care of your parents!"

Betty burst into tears and laughed when she heard this, grabbing the village chief's arm and jumping and jumping.

The village chief hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, slow down, my body can't help you toss like this!"

Seeing this, Russell couldn't help but wonder if Betty's crying just now was his hallucination, what a superb acting skill this is!

In this way, Betty successfully fulfilled her wish to go to Serra with Russell's brother, and left the village under the watchful eyes of the village chief.

Uncle Buddy walks ahead to lead Russell and Betty and tells them the itinerary of the journey.

"Our Seth Village is not too far away from the nearby town of Serra, and according to our walking speed, I estimate that we should be able to reach Serra Town almost this afternoon, but it is hard for the child and Russell, I don't know if you can hold on all the way to where in the town!"

Russell patted his chest and said to Buddy: "Believe in my feet, I am also a person who has traveled a lot, and this distance is simply not worth mentioning to me." ”

Buddy nodded, chatted with Russell a little more, and then fell silent, always leading the way, Russell could see that he was a man who was not good at words.

The scenery along the way is very pleasant, the sky is full of charming clouds, the two sides of the path are full of dense trees, the small river flows near the foothills in the distance, and the sound of birds chirping from time to time in the forest is very pleasant.

The depression that Russell had accumulated in his heart in the past few days disappeared at this moment, and he felt the soft breeze along the way, which couldn't help but remind him of his beautiful hometown.

At this time, Betty secretly came over to watch Russell's behavior and wondered, why did Russell's brother stretch out his hands and breathe heavily, could it be that he felt that he was not breathing?

Russell felt someone approaching him and immediately opened his eyes, startling Betty, who was observing him.

Russell smiled and said to Betty, "Betty, don't you feel happy to come out?

As he spoke, Russell opened the bag on his body, and Betty looked at it, and it was full of shiny silver coins.

Betty blinked in confusion, she felt that she had seen it wrong, because she had never seen so many coins before, and she had never thought that anyone would buy a dress for her.

Russell had a mysterious smile on his face, and he made a silent cleanup on Betty, telling her not to spread the word about it.

"Betty, be obedient, don't tell the village chief about this, this is my secret with you!"

Betty nodded vigorously and agreed to Russell's brother's request, and at the same time she felt very moved, after all, Russell did not say this to anyone other than her, this is Russell's unique trust in her.
