Lu Xi followed Valren back to his house, a few houses made of wood and stone, which looked very dilapidated because of their age.

Along the way, most of the houses Lu Xi saw were like this, revealing an indescribable atmosphere of poverty.

One corner of the roof of one of Valren's houses had collapsed, so it was no wonder he was going to the forest to cut down trees.

A little girl over a year old heard the voice, staggered to the door, leaned over the threshold, and screamed "ahhh

The expression on Vallen's face softened instantly, but he didn't go over, but after putting down the log on his back in the yard, he shouted into the house, "Kumar, I'll go to the village chief of Luli, and when I come back, little Bena has run out, you look at her." ”

Soon a young woman's voice sounded in the room, "Got it. ”

"Let's go." Glancing at his daughter again, Valren took the lead and led the way for Lu Xi.

On the way to the village chief Luli's house, he met a lot fewer villagers, and Lu Xi also opened his mouth at the right time and asked some things, "What kind of person is the village chief Luli?" ”

"Village Chief Luli, he's a low-level elemental warrior! He could defeat a low-level monster by himself, and he protected Kuva Village at the hands of low-level monsters several times. Vallen was very proud to introduce Lu Xi.

Lu Xi didn't know what a low-level elemental warrior was, but he could probably guess that it was someone who had mastered some kind of special ability, just like those low-level monsters who could do magic.

"Village Chief Luli used to be a trainee knight of the noble lord!"

This was somewhat unexpected to Lu Xi, it was a bit unbelievable that a noble trainee knight would return to the village to be a village chief.

It's like a college student who graduated from a prestigious university on the planet and gave up joining a Fortune 500 company and decided to return to a remote mountainous area to teach.

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that this kind of decision is often not too easy.

Soon, Lu Xi met the village chief of Luli.

The village chief Luli is a man in the prime of life who looks to be in his thirties, with a strong body like a black bear, Valren is already very tall, and the village chief Luli is even taller than him, more than two meters tall.

However, there seemed to be something wrong with one of the legs of the village chief Lu Li, and Lu Xi just glanced at it and saw the disharmony in his body.

Village Chief Lu Li seemed to have known the news of Lu Xi for a long time, and he had been waiting in the courtyard with some preparations, and after seeing Lu Xi, he did not rudely look up and down to determine Lu Xi's identity.

Instead, he spoke first, finding a reason to support Vallen, "Walren, aren't you still going to repair your family's house?" You go back first, and I'll settle Miss Lucy." ”

Without any suspicion, Valren nodded to Lu Xi in a friendly manner, and then turned around and left the house of the village chief of Luli.

Lu Xi suddenly became nervous, it was difficult to determine what this Luli Village Chief was for, but she didn't say anything to stop Vallen, after all, Valren was obviously more willing to listen to this Luli Village Chief than her.

After entering Kuwa Village, there was no shelter, Xiao Yuan could only stay outside the village, at this moment, she was really alone, and she could only rely on herself.

Lu Xi stabilized his mind, looked at Village Chief Lu Li with a slightly calm and calm attitude, and looked at Village Chief Lu Li without showing weakness.

In the end, the village chief of Luli took the lead in lowering his head and ending this star-to-eye, which also represented his recognition of a certain identity of Lu Xi - a wandering noble lady.

Of course, without mentioning whether Lu Xi's current body is a character who pinched her face in the game, in terms of identity setting, she is a well-deserved aristocratic lady.

A noble lady who inherited a large farm.

But Village Chief Lu Li didn't know this, and there were only a few judgments he could make about Lu Xi's identity.

First, the clothes on Lu Xi's body, although the version of the clothes has been torn like a homeless man, and it is still full of dirt, but there are so many bright and beautiful colored fabrics, which are not worn by ordinary people.

The dirt and damage on it are even more proof of what happened to a noble lady who has fallen away.

Second, Lu Xi's attitude, the temperament raised by living in different environments is completely different, and the village chief Luli did not miss Lu Xi's gaze when he looked at those houses, which was by no means the sight that a civilian should have.

Of course, Lu Xi's nervousness when facing Village Chief Lu Li was not missed by Village Chief Lu Li, but that nervousness was more like a defense against them and a vigilance against strangers.

For a noble lady who has been displaced by accident, this nervousness and vigilance are reasonable, the kind of noble lady who can't understand her own situation and can only put on a noble shelf, it is impossible for her to survive alone in the wild for so long.

But the village chief of Luli was thinking about another matter, what impact would a wandering noble lady have on Kuwa Village?

In other words, this wandering aristocratic lady, is there any other problem behind her.

The village chief of Luli, who once served as a noble trainee knight, knew more about the nobility than the ordinary commoners in Kuwa Village.

For example, the horror of the aristocracy is the same as the beauty they show on the surface, the more glamorous the family, the more rotten and dirty it is in private.

If Miss Lucy really ended up here by accident, then it's all right, and the village of Kuva only needs to provide simple help and send Miss Lucy to the town of Viguli, then they may be rewarded by a noble lady.

Maybe it could change the fate of the entire village of Kuwa.

However, if there are other families behind Miss Lucy's accident, or some conflicts of interest, it is likely to attract hunting and killing later, and even involve the entire Kuwa Village.

The nobles don't take the lives of a group of civilians seriously, and in order to block the news, no matter how many civilians die, I'm afraid no nobles will care.

The village chief of Luli sighed in his heart, although he said this, in fact, since Walren met Miss Lucy, there was no second option for their Kuwa village.

It is impossible for them to expel a noble lady from leaving, let alone erase the traces of a noble lady, and under elemental magic, nothing can be hidden.

The best outcome is not to delve into the things behind Miss Lucy, and send this Miss Lucy away as soon as possible.

"Miss Lucy, our village of Kuva is just a poor little village, and there is nothing good about it." The village chief of Luli considered his mouth, maybe the bad environment would make this Miss Lucy leave faster, but they couldn't go too far, at least not to be seen.

Lu Xi's mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing the meaning of this sentence, in fact, she herself had not fully reacted, her body had already moved quickly, and she took out a gem the size of a fingernail from her belt full of dirt and actually held those jewels, and handed it to Village Chief Luli.

"Is this enough?" It sounded very cold and hard, but in fact, it was just that Lu Xi was too nervous and didn't know what tone to use to speak, so his tone seemed so dry.

The village chief of Lu Li was even more shocked than Lu Xi, a noble lady would actually give her property to the commoners to "pay" for her own expenses.

This is even rarer than the appearance of the falling rainbow.

And the village chief of Lu Li reacted quickly enough, no matter how outrageous this matter was, but that gem was real, and it was given by a noble lady on her own initiative, this kind of opportunity could not be missed.

The huge dark palm quickly and carefully took the gem from Lu Xi's hand, "Enough!" ”

The voice was even full of urgency, as if he was worried that Lu Xi would regret it.

Lu Xi suddenly realized something from the reaction of the village chief of Luli.

Village Chief Luli calls her "Miss Lucy", which is an honorific title, which shows that in the eyes of Village Chief Luli, Lu Xi's identity is noble and needs to be respected.

Therefore, in Luli Village Chief, he would say that sentence, which means that the conditions in the village are not good, and there may be poor hospitality, so let Lu Xi not mind.

It's just that Lu Xi misunderstood that the village chief of Luli was looking for her to ask for the cost of living in the village.

Looking at the urgency of the village chief Lu Li who had just taken the gem, the village should indeed be quite poor, Lu Xi thought to himself.

Then the village chief Lu Li chatted with Lu Xi a few more words, all of which were polite words, and to Lu Xi's surprise, the village chief Lu Li did not test which nobleman she was.

Turning his head and thinking about it, Lu Xi somewhat guessed the reason - a noble lady living in the wild forest, no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible for her to have no conspiracy behind it, and if she knew any news that she shouldn't know, it would be a danger to their village.

If you don't know anything, you can supply Lu Xi and send it away, the worst result is that Lu Xi turns his face and doesn't recognize people, looks down on their village's short-term help, and leaves their village behind, and there will be no change from his previous life.

A little better, you can also get the gratitude of a noble lady, and whatever you give back, it will be enough for this poor village to live a better life.

This may be the wisdom of the life of the common people at the bottom.

"Miss Lucy, can you stay here for the time being?" It may be the effect of that gem, Village Chief Lu Li is extremely respectful when he faces Lu Xi, and there is a sincerity in his respect.

Lu Xi looked around, this should be the best few houses except for the village chief of Luli, the houses made of cyan stone are big and sturdy, which inevitably reveals poverty.

Of course, the village chief of Luli actually said that he would give his house to Lu Xi to live in, but there are eleven people in their family, and if they really let them move out, even if it is only for a few days, Lu Xi is a little reluctant to go.

After Lu Xi refused, the village chief Lu Li helped Lu Xi find a new house again.

"This is the home of two brothers, Eli and Yar, who were favored by the patrols of Viguri Town some time ago, and are now trainee elemental warriors." Luli village chief Yourong introduced Luxi to Luxi.

"Now the house is occupied only by their mother, Asuna."

Lu Xi's previous refusal made Village Chief Lu Li realize that she was a noble lady who didn't like to trouble others - of course it was possible, there were always some noble ladies who would be inexplicably innocent and kind before seeing the true face of the world.

The village chief of Lu Li is not disgusted with such a noble lady, although many times it will seem ignorant and more troublesome to deal with, but it is better than those noble ladies who look down on inferior people and do not treat inferior people as human beings.

Moreover, Miss Lucy was very generous in taking out a gem to pay for her expenses, and that gem was more than enough to buy them all in the village of Kuva, although no one would buy it.

"You can do it here." Lu Xi nodded, the house in the courtyard was obviously divided into two parts, it should have been a distinction made by the two brothers, half of which had traces of habitation, and the other half looked empty for a long time.

Even if she hides Xiao Yuan, she shouldn't be discovered, and it's a very suitable place, and she can sneak Xiao Yuan in at night.

"Then I'll ask Asuna to come out and clean up for you." After the village chief Lu Li finished speaking, he strode into the courtyard and went into the house to call out to Assuna.

Lu Xi didn't stop it, after all, it was someone else's house, maybe there would be something in the house, so it was better for the family to clean it up by themselves, and it would be better for her to live in it again.

Taking advantage of the exchange between the village chief of Luli and Asuna, Lu Xi looked around again, Kuwa Village is not small, there are at least one or two thousand people in the village, and there is no problem in changing it to the earth, saying that it is a small township.

But in another world, a human settlement of this scale can only be called a village.

"It's been arranged, Miss Lucy...... What are you looking at? The village chief of Luli walked out of the house, followed by an aunt who looked to be in her forties, who should be the Asuna in his mouth.

"It's a bit of a village, there's too many people." Lu Xi said casually, seeing that Aunt Asuna had gone to another house to clean up, and then withdrew her gaze.

"Yes, there are too many people, but the maintenance cost of a town is too expensive for us to afford." Village Chief Lu Li's expression suddenly became heavy, and he said softly with emotion, without skipping the topic perfunctorily.

"They...... Is it an indiscriminate collection of taxes? Lu Xi was stunned for a moment by the reaction of Village Chief Lu Li, and subconsciously asked.

"No, not really." Village Chief Lu Li was silent for a long time before he smiled and spoke, but his laughter was full of helplessness and self-deprecation.

"They're not collecting taxes indiscriminately."

He looked at Lu Xi as if he were looking at an ignorant little girl, "If a village wants to become a town, it needs to build a strong wall that can surround the entire town to resist those low-level monsters. ”

"It is necessary to build a majestic church, pay a lot of money to ask the priest of the Holy See to move in, to heal the sick and wounded residents, to open the light barrier of defense in times of danger, and to protect the town."

"A large number of elemental warriors need to be trained to serve as patrols to protect the entire town, as well as the villages around the town."

"And taxes are only a small part of the town's expenses."

The saddest thing is that in fact, their village can't even pay that small tax.

Lu Xi suddenly realized that Village Chief Lu Li was "selling her miserably", because she looked very much like the kind of aristocratic lady who had never understood the hardships of the lives of the people at the bottom, but was full of useless and kind.

If this passage can move her, then the village of Kuwa may usher in an opportunity for transformation.

But Lu Xi is not, she is just an ordinary person who may have a noble body but a soul from another world, she can't even control her own future, she can only follow the guidance of the system.
