Section 8 A touch is imminent
Bai Fan has been in this village for more than a month, and he helped Ryan get a lot of fish eggs that day, and even caught a scaly turtle himself. When Ryan took him back to the village, the old village elder was overjoyed, and then Ryan exchanged fish eggs for a lot of gold coins in the town. It is more than enough to buy food for the whole village to spend the winter.
When he learned that Bai Fan was not too good at speaking the local dialect, the old village chief arranged for him an assistant to help him learn English. And when he cast his magic for the first time, the whole village came to watch. But the old village chief didn't seem too surprised. He insisted on meditating every night, and felt that his mind seemed to be much more flexible, and the progress of learning English was much faster than he expected. But in a month's world, communication is basically not a problem.
Not long after he learned English, the old village chief found him. The village chief was still outside the house, and Bai Fan already knew about it, and found that the old village chief had stayed at the door of his house for a long time without knocking. He got up and opened the door. "Your old man has been here for a long time, why don't you come in. Hurry up and come in and sit down, I don't have anything to drink here, why don't I go out and borrow some coffee?" After receiving a lot of care from the village, Bai Fan still retained the habit of ordinary people and greeted him.
"Don't bother. The old village chief paused, "Bai Fan, you're a magician, right?"
"It turns out that the village chief knows magicians, I thought there wasn't a single magician in this area. ”
"Originally, there weren't, but now there are a lot more. The old village chief said in a low tone, as if he was a little worried, "Recently, there have been a lot of mercenaries in Lauder Town, and it is said that there are treasures in the jungle. Not only that, but even the magicians have already appeared. Moreover, the priests of the Divine Court also built a church in Lauder Town with great fanfare, and it seems that they have long-term plans to settle in. ”
"The village chief didn't come here just to talk about these things. If there is anything you need my help with, let's talk about it. Bai Fan's eyes blinked, and he said cheerfully.
"Looking at Bai Fan's strength, you should be a very powerful magician. When I was a mercenary, I had never met a magician as powerful as you. The day I saw you use the Wind Blade, not only did you not use a wand, but you also did not recite a spell, especially since you were so young. Such a powerful and young magician, not only has I never seen a small person like me, but I have never even heard of it. So I guess you must be a rare genius from a big family, and you must have been trained to go out this time. Now the village is in crisis, so old man, I ask you to use the strength of the family to help us get through the difficulties~" The corners of the old village chief's eyes twitched, and he was very excited.
Bai Fan was shocked in his heart, "Listening to the tone of the old village chief, I am still very young? The old village chief is not a turtle, but he has been to the capital back then! It is estimated that even Baron Leo, the mayor of Laude Town, has never been to the capital." The village chief must know more about this world than he does. And the village is in danger? What is the matter!" and then replied: "Don't be excited, the old village chief, I must be obligated to keep the village safe." It's a pity that I'm not a child of a big family, and it's impossible to rely on the power of the family. But before I do that, let me ask a few questions. First, why do you say that I am still very young? Second, there seems to be no difficulties in the village now, so why do you say that the village is in danger?"
"Bai Fan, how old are you this year?" The old village chief just heard Bai Fan say that he was not a child of a big family, and thought it was a prevarication. His eyes dimmed suddenly, but when he heard the question behind it, he turned strange again.
"I'm 26 years old this year. Is there any problem?" Bai Fan was also strange.
The old village chief's eyes suddenly became even stranger, "How old do you guess I am this year?"
"75, 80?" Bai Fan guessed.
The old village chief looked at Bai Fan with inexplicable eyes, and decided to tell him these common sense, "I am two hundred and fifty-six years old this year, and I was a high-ranking warrior at my peak. Eighty years old? Do I look that young. You should know that it is much more difficult for a magician to cultivate than a warrior, and you are only twenty-six years old to be able to perform magic instantly, isn't it young enough?"
Bai Fan was stunned all of a sudden.
The old village chief continued to answer his question: "You don't know that there have been more than a dozen homicides in the neighborhood in the past few days. Mercenaries live their lives of making money with knives. And the empire's control over the wild is not enough, as long as there is no evidence of being caught, the empire can't manage it. So few mercenary groups have clean means. Our village is relatively remote, and it takes a day to get to the town. There's no guarantee of what those mercenaries will do here. ”
After speaking, the village chief saw that Bai Fan had not spoken, and seemed to be thinking about something. Thinking that he was thinking about how to protect the village, he didn't linger any longer, got up and took his leave.
As everyone knows, Bai Fan is actually thinking about something else: "Are people in this world living so long? Is it because of food? It seems that there is nothing special about eating." That's genetic, it looks like my body is better now, and I'm breathing. So I should live to be 300 years old?"
The next day, the village chief found him. As soon as he was about to speak, Bai Fan said directly: "Isn't it that someone may come to find trouble?" Since they are here to hunt for treasure, they will certainly not be idle all the time. The murders that are happening now may have been committed by the same group of people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. The village's belongings were exchanged for food as soon as possible, and then everyone was told not to go out. I stayed at the entrance of the village. I don't believe it's any good, and there are people who come to touch the stones. When the village chief heard this, he also felt quite safe. A few young men were sent to buy food. And Bai Fan himself simply moved a stone and put it next to the entrance of the village, meditating and cultivating on it every day.
A few days later, sure enough, a mercenary came to the entrance of the village. But all of them were in a hurry, constantly flipping around them, as if they were looking for something. Bai Fan sat on the stone and didn't pay attention to them, as long as it didn't threaten the safety of the villagers, he didn't bother to get involved in the behavior of these mercenaries.
"Philip Child, this area has been searched. There is only one small village, and the guard at the door seems to be a master. The brothers didn't dare to go in and check it out. "In the town of Lauder, a mercenary was reporting to a man in fancy clothes.
"Well, there are still masters on the edge of this Western Wilderness Forest?" said Filip in surprise.
"That's definitely a master, that's what the president said. ”
"Tell you, President, that this area must not be left untouched. As for this master, our Ole family will handle it, let him gather good manpower, and wait for me to inform him. Filip waved his right hand and commanded.
Wait for the mercenary to get out.
Behind Fili, a heavily armed samurai asked, "Young Master Fili, do you really want to provoke this master?" The leader of the Haw Par Mercenary Regiment is also an Earth Samurai. Since he said that he was a master, there would be no fake. It's just that a village hasn't been checked, so it doesn't take much effort. ”。
"You know what. This was an instruction from His Majesty the Emperor, and the reason why the army was not used. It seems that because the Holy See also intervened. Therefore, I had to let the families come to this Western Wilderness to look for it in their private name first, and this matter could not be caught by other families. And in case the treasure is found, His Majesty has promised 500 square kilometers of private territory. Besides, this is the Western Wilderness, where is there a master who wants to stay in the Western Wilderness! I've been here for so long, and I can't even cultivate. "I'll go and search this village tomorrow," said Filip, "and we'll have searched two more places for which our Ole family is responsible." In this way, I can also return to the family as soon as possible, it's really unlucky, how did I get this task. I'm going to be a man of the Sky Samurai~ I don't have time to deal with this group of country landlords. He was even more depressed when he remembered the so-called ball held by the fat mayor.
