"Probably... about 500 kilometers away from here."
Erza murmured while holding the map.
"More than five hundred kilometers... I knew I would have borrowed the president's magic quadricycle."
Listening to Ersha's words, Luo Xingchen couldn't help complaining.
Immediately, Erza's cheeks turned pale.
As if thinking of something bad, he quickly said:
"Actually, it's not too far away. We can go by train in time."
Shrugging, Luo Xingchen was noncommittal.
It's just that I miss the feeling of drag racing...
—————
Because the target location is a little remote.
Therefore, in addition to open trains.
It will take some time in a carriage and, some time on foot.
to reach the mission location.
As a result, when Luo Xingchen and Ersha rushed to the village.
It was almost dusk.
"It's really hard to find."
Luo Xingchen stopped and looked at the village at the foot of the mountain.
This is a village surrounded by mountains and forests.
Look from the top down.
It can be found that there is a large area of farmland in the village,
A very ordinary village dominated by farming.
Also because of the remote location,
Few mages would choose to come to this place.
"Horuo Village, if the map is correct, it should be here."
After comparing the map, Erza said.
Luo Xingchen looked at the gradually dimming sky, and said:
"Well, anyway, let's go down and have a look, and contact the client first."
"Maybe need to rest here tonight."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
He took a step down.
Entering the village, there was no one on the street.
But it's right to think about it, after all, there are demons.
I'm afraid everyone is hiding at home and dare not show up.
According to the instructions on the entrustment form, the two found the client of the task.
It is the residence of the village headman of this village.
Knocked on the door.
Not long after, an old man stuck his head out and looked at Luo Xingchen and Ersha:
"Who are you?" the old man asked.
Luo Xingchen didn't beat around the bush, and spoke directly:
"We are the mages of Fairy Tail, and we have accepted the task of subjugating demons. Here is the order, please take a look."
As he spoke, he handed the order in his hand to the old man.
Immediately afterwards, the two also revealed the fairy crest on their arms.
This is the flow for routine tasks.
The old man looked at the order in his hand.
Looking at the coat of arms on the two of them again,
The identities of Luo Xingchen and Ersha were finally confirmed.
Immediately, the old man blushed directly,
There is excitement in the old voice:
"Wizards... finally waiting for you!"
"This village has been saved...".
Chapter 47 Devil? or a girl?
Horo Village, the residence of the village chief.
After confirming that Luo Xingchen and Erusa are from the Wizards Guild.
The elderly village chief warmly invited the two of them into the house.
"We don't have any good things here, so please drink some tea."
The village head came over with two cups of steaming green tea.
The two of them took the tea politely.
"Please tell us the specific situation, so that we can make a first-hand judgment and analysis."
Erza was not polite at all.
Get to the point right away.
Luo Xingchen sat aside and quietly sipped the tea.
The village chief nodded and was silent for a while.
Only then slowly said: "Actually, that so-called demon has existed here for a long time."
"It's just that it was sealed in the depths of the church in the center of the village."
"Although we are afraid, we have the protection of the church."
"We can also live a normal life."
"but…"
Speaking of this, the village chief's expression dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The body is trembling slightly.
Eyes filled with fear and disgust.
Luo Xingchen and Ersha looked at each other.
Didn't chime in.
The village chief continued: "However, the original peace was completely broken a few days ago."
He raised his head,
His old eyes stared at the two mages in front of him:
"That girl... released the demon!"
"The devil... was released?" Luo Xingchen murmured.
Looking up and down the old man in front of him, and the surrounding buildings:
"With all due respect, if the demon is released..."
"Are you still all right?"
The village chief waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"That's not the case, the demon possessed the girl."
"One day, when the devil fully awakens."
"That girl will definitely raise the butcher's knife at us!"
Erza stroked her chin and said:
"In other words, the girl you mentioned didn't hurt anyone, right?"
The village head nodded and added:
"But that's just now."
"None of us can guarantee that that girl will not hurt others in the future, can we?"
"Then has she ever lost her mind?" Luo Xingchen continued to ask.
The village chief paused for a while before speaking: "No..."
Luo Xingchen shook his head lightly.
Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, he said:
"As for your guess, we can't agree with it at the moment. It's better to go and see the girl you are talking about first."
—————
on the edge of the village.
A dilapidated house stands here.
Although in this village,
The houses are bungalows built with ordinary bricks.
It is not luxurious in itself, and even most of them are in an old state.
But the damage of this house,
But it is several times more than others.
The stone-built walls have potholes of varying degrees.
I'm afraid if it's just a breeze,
can be poured directly into the house.
Broken windows, old wooden doors.
And the eaves that have been repaired again and again testify to the age of the house.
This is the home of three orphans.
Milaj, Lisanna, and Elfman.
They have lost their parents since they were young, and they can only succumb to this unwanted house.
Relying on the meager living expenses earned by the eldest sister.
to sustain their lives.
At this moment, three small figures were leaning against each other in the corner.
Quietly listening to the insults from the outside world...
If it is normal time,
It was impossible to have many people at the door of the house.
