Chapter 7: In the Ruined Village of Cronning (1)
When Skuifa pulled Alexandra by the hand, the villagers around him, who had been fighting hard against the thieves, also surrounded him.
A middle-aged man in his fifties armed with a steel knife was the first to speak, "'Leah', are you okay?"
Alexandra wiped the dust from his body and nodded to the middle-aged man and said, "Ah, Village Chief Webb, I'm fine."
Only then did Shi Kuifa know that this middle-aged man was the head of this village. But at the same time, his heart also sighed, slightly suspicious, "'Leah'? Isn't this woman's name 'Alexandra'?"
At this time, the faces of several villagers next to him had changed to excited expressions.
"'Leah', you're amazing!"
"'Leia', it turns out that you are the 'black-haired war scorpion' Alexandria!"
"Oh my God, big sister, I didn't expect you to be the famous killer!"
All the villagers gathered around Alexandra, both men and women, old and young, and shouted at the woman.
And although Alexandra didn't respond to everyone's words, I didn't respond to a word, and the responses were very brief, but the expression on her face was very soft, and the fierceness when she fought with Fang Cai and the thieves, and the attitude of responding to Shi Kuifa with iceberg words, were very different.
It shows that she and this group of villagers know each other very well.
Alexandra was also clearly fond of the villagers.
Looking at this scene, Shi Kuifa's heart understood a little.
He thought, "It seems that 'Leah' is a pseudonym. Eighty percent is this female killer named Alexandria, for some reason, she has lived in this village for a while, but in order not to let people find out her true identity, she uses a pseudonym to act - and she obviously has a good relationship with these villagers, so when the gang of thieves attacked just now, not only Alexandra fought with the thieves, but when she was surrounded by heavy surrounding, these villagers were also willing to fight to kill the thieves to save her."
But just as Shi Kuifa was thinking, and the villagers were gossiping around Alexandri, the middle-aged village chief Weber, who was holding a steel knife, spoke again: "Well, everyone, everyone, please be quiet, I have something to say."
So the crowd fell silent, but they saw that the eyes of the village chief Webb were still looking at Alexandra fixedly.
His expression seemed to be thinking about what words to start with.
"That's, 'Leah'...... No, Ms. Alexandra." After a while, the village chief Webber finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said loudly: "I am now officially asking you as the 'village chief', what are you coming to our village for?"
The scene seemed to freeze for a moment, and the atmosphere of "I had just been attacked by thieves, but now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief" suddenly froze.
"Answer me, Lady Alexandre." The village chief Webber said, "You have been in our village for more than a month, and I think everyone should be nice to you, and there are no problems with you and everyone in this village in getting along - okay, I'll open the skylight and say something, we didn't know your true identity before, and you didn't tell us the truth, but used a pseudonym to do all your activities here - but now that we all know, then I think, with a high-reputation person like you, suddenly come to our 'Cronning Village', a remote mountain village, It shouldn't be for nothing! So I hope, Ms. Alexandria, that you will tell me frankly what is the real purpose of your visit to our 'Cronning Village'? Are you here for some mission?"
When Weber said the term "Cronning Village", the "Discovery" magic in Squeefa's body was immediately activated, and information related to "Cronning Village" instantly appeared in his head:
"The village of Cronin, located in the deep mountains of the 'Great Red Star Mountains' in the center of the 'Burlanchin' continent, belongs to the small city-state 'Otucia' in terms of territorial belonging."
"Cronning Village is a small and remote village with a population of just over 500 people, and the ethnic group in the village is mainly 'human', and the villagers live by logging, ploughing, hunting, and gathering, and they belong to a low-level agricultural society, and most of them are poor. The current village chief is Webb, fifty-three years old, and he is a hunter."
"The village of Cronin has now been attacked by the wandering bandit group 'Dolgon Thieves' to destroy the village, although the 'Dolgon Thieves' was annihilated on the spot by the 'black-haired war scorpion' Alexandro, Skuifa, and the villagers, but after this incident, the village of Cronning has become a ruin."
The information that finally came to Shi Kuifa's mind made him secretly "Oh" slightly surprised, because this was what had just happened, and he didn't expect the "Discovery" magic to be updated so quickly, and it was included in the new information that the caster needed to know.
But Squiefa quickly suppressed the surprise. He first looked around, and sure enough, the village was in ruins under the attack of the war just now. Then he turned his attention to the conversation that was currently going on between Weber, the village chief, and Alexandra.
Shi Kuifa noticed that after the village chief Weber asked this, all the villagers, whether they were men or women, old or young, also had a trace of doubt on their faces, showing that the village chief had said what was in their hearts.
"Ah, yes, I remember hearing them call Alexandra a 'notorious' killer." Squee thought secretly, "It seems that this girl Alexandra has a bad reputation in the world of 'Bourlanchin' - uh, indeed, no matter what world it is, it is probably impossible for a killer to have a good reputation."
At this time, in the face of the question of the village chief Weber, Alexandri's face was quite calm, and there was no expression at all.
I just heard her "um" and then said, "I didn't come here for any purpose."
Shi Kuifa saw that not only Weber, but also several older villagers narrowed their eyes slightly.
Alexandra added, "Actually, I'm not here for any mission, I'm here for a vacation."
"Uh......"
"Huh?"
This sentence made the villagers stunned on the spot.
"It's my vacation, I'm on vacation." Alexandra said, "Using a pseudonym, of course, is just for the sake of keeping a low profile."
Weber, the village chief, and many of the villagers stared at Alexandra with expressions clearly pondering her answer.
"Ah, I think so." After a while, Webb said slowly, "If you have a purpose to kill anyone in our village, today, you don't need to help and save a lot of people when the 'Dolgon Thieves' attacked. You can just walk away.
"Besides, after thinking about it, there shouldn't be anyone in our village who would be the target of your famous killer. If there were, depending on your skills, you should have been able to complete the task and leave a long time ago, and there is no need to stay here for more than a month.
"I'm sorry, Lady Alexandria, I don't have any prejudices against you, it's just that as the village chief, I think I should ask."
Alexandra bowed his head slightly, indicating that he could understand and did not care about Weber's questioning.
Webber added, "Finally, let me express my gratitude to you, Lady Alexandria, if it weren't for your help today, all of us in Cronin Village would have been killed and taken captive by the Dolgon Thieves."
After speaking, the old hunter in his fifties bowed to Alexandria.
The other villagers followed suit.
Alexandra waved his hand and said, "This is a trivial matter, village chief, everyone, don't care."
Webber turned around again and said to Skuifa, who had not said a word to the side, "Also, Lady Alexandra, we are also very grateful to this friend of yours, thanks to his sudden appearance just now, and the use of that superior lightning magic, we were able to solve this damn group of thieves in an instant! Thank you so much, sir."
As he spoke, Webber also issued a bow to Squeeze.
The other villagers also bowed to Shi Kuifa.
Shi Kuifa hurriedly shook his head and was about to speak, but Alexandra spoke first.
"Well, he's not my friend......" I saw a strange expression on the beautiful face of the beautiful swordsman, "Actually, I don't know this person......
"Huh?" Webb and the villagers were stunned.
