Chapter 7: In the Ruined Village of Cronning (6)
Webb's heart was shocked.
But he quickly pretended to be calm, trying not to let his expression show any weakness, and turned to answer, "Ah, Mr. Squifa, is there anything wrong?"
"Do you have an adventurer's guild here?" I just heard Shi Kui ask.
"What?" Webb was stunned for a moment.
"Adventurer's Guild." Shi Kuifa only said that he didn't hear clearly, and then said again: "Do you have any here?"
"Oh, the Adventurer's Guild." Webb said, "No. I'm sorry, but our village is too remote, and adventurers' guilds are usually located in larger cities, such as the 'Otuca Country'."
As soon as the village chief said the term "Otuca Country", the "Discovery" magic in Shi Kuifa's body immediately began to activate, and information related to "Otuccia Country" instantly appeared in his head:
"The Kingdom of Otuccia, a small city-state located at the foot of the eastern mountain range of the 'Great Red Star Mountains' in the center of the 'Burlanchin' continent, is one of the many small city-states outside of the seven great powers on the 'Burlanchin' continent. At present, there is only one main city in the country of Otuccia, and there is no other city, and the rest of the territory is scattered in the countryside outside its main city."
"The farthest territory of the Ottucha Kingdom is the village of Cronning, located deep in the mountains of the Great Red Star Mountains, but the village has now been destroyed by the 'Dolgon Thieves' and is in ruins."
"The western border of the Kingdom of Otucha is bordered by the 'Ochute Empire', one of the Seven Great Powers, to the east by another small city-state 'Tan Kingdom', to the north by another small city-state 'Chehe Kingdom', and to the south by the 'Yadan Kingdom', one of the Seven Great Powers."
"The economy of the country of Otuca is mainly the export of agricultural and forestry products, so the overall economy is quite poor, and it is a relatively poor country on the continent of 'Burlanchin'."
"The current ruler of the kingdom of Otuccia is the sixth king, Gil. Otuccia is a mediocre man who has no outstanding abilities or achievements."
"That's it." So Shi Kuifa nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you. Looks like I'm going to have to go to the country of Otuccia."
Gainsquefa remembered that before he was teleported into this world, Oleg. Reyns had given him a small, but shiny golden sign.
"You go over, take this talisman, go to any adventurer's guild, use this as proof, and show it to the clerks, I promise that all my property will be successfully inherited there!"
Skuifa remembers that Oleg. Reins said. And the glittering golden sigil was currently lying in his pocket. Job, Squey found that he was eager to quickly find an adventurer's guild in order to cash in on Oleg. The words spoken by Reins.
He didn't even think about asking Webb for the head of Dolgon in his hand in exchange for the 50,000 yuan bounty.
But Webb looked at him and had a ghost in his heart. Although this fifty-three-year-old middle-aged hunter has been trying hard not to let his expression reveal any weakness, he is an honest man who has lived in the countryside all his life, not an old liar and old fritter who is used to lying.
This subtle change in expression, of course, could not escape the eyes of Alexandra who was standing aside, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she immediately understood the reason why the village chief was like this.
"Alas, it's no wonder that the village chief wanted to embezzle the 50,000 yuan bounty." The beautiful swordsman thought to herself, "Although it was Squifa who killed the entire 'Dolgon Bandits', the village of Cronning is now in ruins, and it will cost money to rebuild the home. Although 50,000 yuan is definitely not enough, if we don't even have this 50,000 yuan, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for these people in Cronning Village to restore their homeland to life."
But this also made Alexandra hesitate, standing in her position, in the past month, the people in the village have treated her well, otherwise she would not have drawn her sword and rushed out to kill the enemy and help the village when the "Dolgon Thieves" attacked; However, according to the professional ethics of his killer, whoever completes the task will be credited, and if anyone wants to steal the merit privately, swallow the merit, occupy the merit, and receive the bonus that should not be received, it is a violation of the taboo in the workplace. The position is, at this moment, the behavior of the village chief Weber, in the eyes of Alexandria, is a matter without morality.
And when Alexandra thought about it, her eyes and Webb's eyes just met.
"Well...... Webber saw from Alexandria's sight that the girl had understood her intentions. One of his old faces flushed slightly.
"Phew! What a shame!" Webber's heart instantly felt a burst of shame, "If it weren't for this Mr. Squifa's high-grade lightning magic in an instant and killed all the thieves, even if Leah, no, how could this big killer Alexandra block a hundred with one hundred, I and these surviving people in the village might still be killed by thieves in the chaos, so this Dolgon's head belongs to this Mr. Squeefa!"
"He probably heard the conversation I had with the rest of the village, so he's too embarrassed to speak. Alas! I, Weber, have never done anything wrong in my life, and I have never been sorry for anyone, so how can I take advantage of others at this time? Even if it is for the reconstruction of the village, I do this in a grand manner, and directly in front of Mr. Shi Kuifa, and encroach on his credit and bounty, then wouldn't I and everyone in the village be no different from this group of damned dirty thieves?"
Thinking of this, the village chief's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and his conscience was obviously a little uncomfortable.
He thought to himself, "Well, maybe this Mr. Squiefa actually wanted to ask me for this thief's head, which is why he asked me on purpose, 'Do you have an adventurer's guild here?' You also know by looking at it, our dilapidated village, in the middle of nowhere, how can there be any adventurer guild? People are clearly borrowing the east and talking about the west, so isn't the adventurer's guild a place for adventurers to take on tasks, go out for tasks, and come back for bonuses? It seems that this Mr. Shi Kuifa means something!
"People probably know that if I ask for this thief's head in public, I and everyone in the village will not be able to get off the stage, and the scene will be very embarrassing, so he will use such marginal words to point at me, if I pretend not to hear any clues, it will be intentional at all!
"Alas, the funds for rebuilding the village are important, but the basic principles and morals of being a human being must be there, otherwise I and everyone in the village will simply become the 'Cronning Thieves'."
Thinking about this, Weber made up his mind not to be greedy for the 50,000 yuan that was almost in hand, he would rather everyone in the village work hard and slowly rebuild their homes with their hands and feet, rather than take advantage of Shi Kuifa at this time. The honest and loyal chief of the hunter village decided to return Dolgon's head to Skueva.
So, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to Shi Kuifa suddenly, "Mr. Shi Kuifa, I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Squee was stunned, he couldn't figure out what was happening.
So is Alexandria.
The other villagers did the same.
Weber strode up to Squifa, and handed him the head of Dolgon, which had almost exhausted all the blood, in his hand.
"Mr. Squifa, I'm sorry." Webber said: "In fact, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the bounty of this Dolgon head belongs to you, and you are the one who kills all the thieves, so you are the one who is qualified to carry this head to the 'Ochute Empire' to receive the 50,000 yuan bounty. I'm sorry, I was dizzy just now, anxious to rebuild the village, and I didn't realize the qualification of this matter for a while, I didn't mean to take your bounty, now I think clearly, this head, let's return it to you."
As soon as these words came out, Alexandra and the villagers were taken aback.
Alexandra thought to himself in admiration, "I didn't expect Village Chief Webb to be so upright!"
But after being surprised, the other villagers shouted in surprise:
"No, village chief, what are you doing——?
"Village chief, you, how can you ——??"
"No, the fifty thousand dollars—the reconstruction of the village—"
"Without this money, we—what are we going to do?"
