Led by the village, the villagers swarmed Nock towards the village's tavern.

Leo, who was left with a salute on his back, stood at the entrance of the village with a stunned expression.

"I'll help you!"

In the end, the doorman in charge of the night vigil couldn't stand it and offered to help.

"Oh, thank you."

Leo is not polite at all, he is also tired from the day, and Nock is going to act, and he is basically carrying the salute.

However, when Leo unloaded his salute to the doorman villagers, the villagers were frightened by the ice bear fur on Leo's back.

"Ahh Demon...... Demon...... Magic ......"

The villagers had never seen an ice bear, and suddenly saw the fur on Leo's back, and thought that Leo was a monster, and they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

Leo looked at the frightened appearance of the villagers and suddenly reacted.

He took off the ice bear fur from his back and held it in his hand.

"Don't worry, this is the fur of the Ice Bear, the trophy that Father and I captured during our travels. Intended as a gift to Mr. Baron. ”

This is what Nock negotiated with Leo.

They planned to bribe the baron's tax collector with money, but this was not safe, after all, how many people there were in a village could not hide from the lord of the baron. (Note 1)

The Ice Bearskin became a key gift to shut up the Baron.

Whether it is made into armor or ornaments, it is enough to satisfy the baron.

I think it's not a problem for him to turn a blind eye.

Then the problem comes, the tax collector and the baron can be settled, and the only thing left is the villagers.

The villagers are full of people, and it is not easy for them to let the two Nok stay and recognize them.

However, let's stay for now, and then talk about it, the villagers' sense of identity can be obtained slowly.

That's what the two were going to do.

With the help of the villagers, Leo arrives at the village tavern with his luggage.

"Magina's Country Tavern", the sign of the tavern is very easy to understand.

"Here, Knight, please. Leave the luggage to me, and I'll take it to the ...... for you Demon...... Magic ......"

Another villager who wants to help the scared.

The appearance of this villager attracted the attention of the other villagers, and soon, they all saw the ice bear fur on Leo's body, and his face showed a frightened expression.

Leo hurriedly explained again: "Don't be afraid, it's just the fur of the Ice Bear, the loot we caught during our travels. ”

Hearing Leo's explanation, the villagers of the tavern breathed a sigh of relief and lost their previous nervousness.

It turned out to be fur.

The villagers were relieved.

They whispered.

"Ice Bear? I haven't heard of it, but it's supposed to be a type of bear, right? With such a big fur, it must be a very powerful animal! ”

"I guess Elder won't be able to hunt in his life!"

Elder is the hunter of the village.

If the villagers knew that an ice bear could easily destroy dozens of villages like theirs unscathed, they wouldn't think so.

Fortunately, the village chief stood up and spoke at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the village of Tarn welcomes two distinguished guests today......

The village chief suddenly froze, and asked in a low voice to Nock, who was standing beside him, "Dear priest, please forgive me for my rudeness, I forgot to ask your name." ”

Nock replied lightly, "Oh, please call me Father Lane." That one over there is my Guardian Knight, the Gareth Knight. ”

It's not that Nok is cold, sometimes, being too approachable isn't necessarily a good thing.

Proper reverence can make the guests and hosts happy.

Especially when the two Nocks are still strangers now, leaving the villagers with appropriate awe is a good thing for both the Nock and the villagers.

Asking Nock's name, the village chief continued what he had just said.

"Today we have the honour of welcoming the Venerable Father Ryan and his knight, Knight Gareth, to the village of Tarn, and let us welcome the arrival of our two distinguished guests with warm applause."

"Bang bang! Smack! Bang Bang Bang! ”

The villagers applauded their faces.

The applause lasted for a while, and the village chief pressed it with his hand and shouted:

"Alright, it is an honour for Father Lane to come to the village of Tarn, but, late tonight, Magina, when the room is ready, bring up a few glasses of ale to entertain our guests."

"Elder and Lexa, you two stay and have two drinks with Lord Knight. Others, go back to rest when they should go back, go to the vigil when they should go to the vigil, don't stay here and bother. ”

"Tomorrow, I'll tell the whole village to prepare a welcome banquet for the guests!"

The village chief spoke, and the others were not good to bother.

Nock and the two walked for hours, from evening to night, really tired and hungry.

Nock was very satisfied with the village's arrangement.

According to Nock's calculations, the time is about nine o'clock in the evening.

Under normal circumstances, the people of the village had already gone to bed.

It was only because of the intrusion of the two Nocks that the strong men in the village were disturbed.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's rest, the Far Saint Lord bless you and let you have a good night's sleep."

Nock made a prayer gesture to the surrounding villagers, and then Nock activated a low-level "pacification technique" and sprinkled it on everyone in the tavern.

Seeing Nock wave his glowing hand, a glow fell on the villagers, and the villagers immediately felt happy, and the original suspicion and fear of Nock and the two disappeared completely.

There was only respect left for the two of them.

Even the magic of blessing has been used, this Father Ryan must be real!

This is the idea of all the villagers, including the village chief.

"Alright, let's all go back! With the blessing of the priest, everyone can sleep well! ”

The village chief issued an eviction order, and the villagers could not stay any longer, except for Elder and Lexa, who were named, everyone left the tavern.

Soon, Fez, who was sent to the village chief's house, walked in with the village chief's daughter, Lisanna, carrying a tray of food.

"Fez, it's hard work, you also stay and have two drinks with the knight."

"Father Lane, this is my daughter Lisanna. Lisanna, give Father Ryan a salute. ”

Hearing her father's words, Lisanna was about to salute Nock with a tray of food.

"Lisana has seen Father Lane."

Nock hurriedly reached out and held Lishana's hands, preventing her from continuing to salute, he didn't want his dinner to be an accident.

"Excuse me, excuse me, it doesn't have to be like this. I am just an ordinary priest, a servant of the Holy Lord. You are believers in the Holy Lord, and we are all brothers and sisters who serve the Holy Lord, and we do not need to be so respectful. ”

"Yes, yes, Father, you are right. Lisanna, don't serve the priest yet. ”

"Fez, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you serve the knight over there for dinner! Magina hasn't finished her room yet, Elder, you go to the cellar to get some wine, drink some ale, it can ward off the cold and help you sleep. ”

"The priest and the knight are tired from the journey, drink two more drinks and sleep well at night."

"Lexa, you have a lot of strength, help the knight take the salute upstairs, and by the way, see if Magina needs help."

At the village chief's arrangement, a villager named Fez placed a tray of bread and roast meat in his hand in the farthest corner from Nock and the chief's table, and invited Leo over.

Held, the hunter, found the key to Magina's cellar at the counter and went to the cellar to carry a barrel of ale.

This move made the village chief who was beckoning Nok to eat secretly give a thumbs up.

As for Lexa, he is the man with a sledgehammer at the entrance of the village, he is a blacksmith, responsible for repairing the farm tools in the village, and occasionally helping the returning Mr. Baron to polish and maintain the equipment.

The village chief asked Elder to accompany him because the two of them were the best drinkers in the village, and they were going to get Leo drunk.

Why is it the most drinkable man? Because the person who can drink most is a woman.

Magina, the owner of the tavern, is upstairs preparing her room!

After all, no matter how noble the status of the two Nocks is, strangers are always dangerous to the village.

But for a drunk stranger, the danger tends to be zero.

They didn't want to do anything to Nok, but getting them drunk was the safest thing for the village.

This is the experience they have accumulated in dealing with the nobles in the past.

Even their lord, Lord Baron, had been hit by their trick when he first came to patrol, and so far, their trick has been tried and tested.

Lexa carried Leo's unloaded luggage and went upstairs.

As for the Ice Bear's fur, he didn't move.

Because he's not stupid, Lexa used to be a trainee fighter, although he wasn't a full-time professional.

His professional level used to be level three, and when he was about to break through to become a full-time warrior, he was injured in an accident and his realm fell, and he couldn't break through again.

I can only go back to the village to become a blacksmith, but I still have eyesight.

Although the ice armor on that fur didn't exude an icy aura, Lexa knew that if he dared to reach out and touch it, the consequences would definitely be serious.

After maintaining the baron's equipment for so long, he still had seen magic materials.

The layer of ice armor on this bear's skin is definitely a rare magic material.

Lexa didn't want to be embarrassed, so naturally it wouldn't touch it.

Leo was pleased with Lexa's interest and nodded at him in thanks.

"Lexa, thank you for your help. After a while, let's have a drink together. ”

"Oh, that's my pleasure, Knight."

"You're welcome, Lexa, Leo Gareth, that's my name. You can call me Leo or you can call me Gareth. ”

Leo changed his usual coldness, and let Resak call himself by his name without any arrogance.

"Of course, Fez, too, don't call me an adult, I'm just a knight of Father Lane, not an adult."

Seeing Leo so approachable, the village chief nodded quietly, expressing satisfaction.

This is the countermeasure that Nock and Leo discussed on the road.

As a priest, Nock needs to hold a shelf and make the villagers feel alienated and awe-inspired.

Leo took the approachable route and mingled with the villagers, making it convenient for the villagers to inquire about the news of the village, and it was also convenient for the villagers to inquire about the news of the two from Leo.

Although I decided to find a village to settle down and get a legal identity.

But that doesn't mean that Nock and Leo have identified Tarn Village.

It's just that this village is the closest village to the Seine, and it is their first choice.

Even if they wanted to stay in the village, they thought that it was the villagers who took the initiative to ask them to stay, not the two Nocks who offered to stay.

The meaning is not the same.

"Note 1: The Queen of the Lionheart Kingdom is implementing a new policy, and the new nobles have no territory except for the territories that have been divided by the traditional nobles. For example, the Archduke of James, as the new duke, did not have a duchy as a territory. The queen can only give him a little land as a territory, which can be regarded as a face. But the Kingdom of Fran was a traditional kingdom that followed an ancient aristocratic system. So the nobles will be rewarded with a territory. The difference is that the king rewards the Grand Duke, who then takes the territory from his own duchy and gives it to his subordinates. The Grand Dukes only need to report the number and names of the nobles under their command to the kingdom. The situation in other kingdoms is much the same as in the kingdom of Fran."
