Early this morning, Luan discovered that the people in the village were busy.
Thanks to the support of the second sister, the living environment of Moscari Village has improved somewhat, but it is only a small village after all, and most people don’t pay much attention to hygiene. tidy.
But today is different, everyone is busy.
Henry was clearing the road with Joseph and a group of militiamen, the village head and old man were directing the villagers to arrange the village, Melita's father and a group of good cooks were preparing meals, and Melita couldn't do much work. The girl is not idle either.
As for the scorpion, he sat on the tree in the village and watched dryly.
What is it? What's the matter? Lord Fat Boy was struck to death by lightning? What is the big day today?
Thinking about it, Ryoko scratched his head, then took a sip of spirits from his clothes.
I don't know why, the more he drinks alcohol, the more addicted he becomes
"Melita, what are you doing?"
At this time, Melita, who was carrying a bunch of branches on her back, passed by under the tree and was caught by Ryoko.
"Calamity? What are you doing sitting there? No, why are you here?"
"You didn't come this morning, I was hungry and wanted something to eat, and then I saw you all busy here."
Liao didn't say much, and directly recruited honestly and truthfully, and then asked: "By the way, what are you doing?"
"Ah, as you can see, clean up." Melita put the bundle of branches on the ground and moved her sore shoulders: "I'm sorry I didn't bring you food this morning, I wanted to hurry things up Solve it and go later."
Immediately afterwards, Ryoka jumped directly from the tree and landed in front of Melita.
"Why do you suddenly have to clean up?"
"Remember what we said a while ago that the lord who ruled this area has changed?"
"Huh? You mean"
"Yes, it's really changed, and the village chief told us that he will come to inspect the fief under his hand today, and asked us to make preparations quickly to welcome him."
"Is that why your father killed chickens for this?"
"Yes."
You know, there are not many livestock in the village of Moscari. Given the prosperity of the village, there are only a few chickens at most-and those chickens have been spotted for a long time! Every day, he thought about **** those chickens and eat meat. After all, he had never eaten any other meat except rat meat when he grew up.
But Melita didn't give him food, so he could only squat all day long and watch the rooster with a big red comb on its head, its chest puffed out, and it walked past his eyes with an extremely arrogant pace, The catastrophe wanted to kill it a long time ago.
As for now? Did you see the dead headless one on the cutting board? That is.
That's why Liao was very angry. He thought it was because the villagers were going to **** him in order to repay his kindness. They were originally feeling that they were filial to the lord.
"When will I be able to eat meat?" Luan curled his lips. He had the opportunity to eat and drink on the day of the festival, but who knew that Melita was too drunk, and he was a little worried about Melita. Turned around Melita, and was dragged out by her in the end.
Thinking of that night, Lu Xun was taken aback again.
"Isn't it meat? I'll take you to the city to have a look. If you want to eat it, just buy it!"
Melita said extremely generously—however, it was not his money that was spent at all, but the money Mei gave them and what they had left.
But it's strange to say that it's clear that Liao's older sister doesn't intend to force her to go home, she can follow her sister to live outside, eat well and drink hot food, why insist on staying in Moscari Village?
To be honest, Melita was also a little worried about this, she couldn't rest assured, and she was also a little bit reluctant, after all, the two of them were inseparable these days.
Even if Mikasa is not around Melita, if you search the bushes or tree tops around Melita carefully, you might find a man in a black robe with no shoes on and a long knife pinned to his waist staring at her. You see.
And this guy is left-handed, which is very conspicuous.
"Do you need my help?" He asked.
Since Ryokai's shrine is some distance away from the village, and it doesn't look any similar to those religious places like churches in the West from any point of view, so he has avoided a lot of trouble, and he is idle.
Melita thought for a while, all she was doing was some delicate work, and there really wasn't anything suitable for her to do.
"Just don't get into trouble"
"What do you mean! It's like I'm always in trouble, wait, it seems to be true"
"Why did you admit it so quickly?!"
Melita sighed helplessly, and then picked up the bundle of firewood on the ground: "Then you can help me carry the wood, the lord may be here at noon today, we need to arrange the village as soon as possible, and sanitation must also be done." After cleaning up, you can just find a place to hide, after all, your appearance and dress are rather peculiar, which may attract unnecessary attention."
"Oh, are you going to have a drink tonight?"
"Oh? That's fine, but this time, drink less, or you may cause trouble if you drink too much."
"But you said the same thing last time (whispers bb
After being drunk, Melita's temperament has changed drastically, and even the disaster is indescribable—but normal people can see the problem from the fact that she poured the village chief's old man into the wine barrel
After all, before drinking, Melita was the first person to stand up against the village chief and ask him to pay attention to his health
But this is not the end, not only that, after Melita sobered up, she couldn't even remember what stupid things she did when she was drunk! The memory is fragmented and incomplete, as if it was hit by a huge real hammer.
But it's not that I can't remember it at all! For example, on the day of the festival, she remembered that she vomited the village chief with wine, and finally fell asleep in a daze, leaning on the boy, who carried her home.
This is a bit embarrassing.
After all, Melita is not very old this year, less than twenty years old, just the age that exudes the sour smell of love, and although she doesn't understand anything and is very simple, so she looks dumb and stupid, but she is indeed long. He was very handsome, and Melita was a little embarrassed to be carried home by him.
The two got to work so busy, and met Henry and Xiaoxue on the road—Xiaoxue was scared to cry again after the disaster lived up to everyone’s expectations—and then got a chest thump from Melita on the back of the head.
It doesn't do any damage at all, but it still hurts
Finally, when everything was ready, Ryoka jumped onto the branch of a tall tree, lay down and ate apples, while Melita, the village elder and other villagers waited for the lord's arrival at the entrance of the village.
About the identity of this lord, Luan also inquired.
It is said that this lord was born as an arena champion and has won countless kingdom competitions. Later, because of certain things, he changed his career as a mercenary and served the country. Later, because of his outstanding ability and outstanding performance all the time, he successfully made the king owe He was made a noble by a favor, directly replacing the fat local lord.
As for the fat lord, where does he go? ——I heard that he was thrown into a private manor by the king and gave him a lot of money to live a comfortable life there, and he might not come out again until he died.
Everyone didn't wait too long, a group of people soon appeared in everyone's field of vision, tall horses and magnificent weapons and armor, these are not comparable to those robbers and robbers in the mountains, there is no doubt that if those criminals meet When it comes to such a well-equipped regular army, the only chance is to escape.
The brown-haired middle-aged man riding a white horse at the front should be the lord. His clothes are obviously different from those of the nearby soldiers in armor, brighter and more luxurious.
A black coat wallet, slightly revealing a bit of the chain armor inside—maybe it's because of the winter. He also wore a thick animal skin cloak on his shoulders, which seemed to be bear skin, and he exuded a rmb player's aura all over his body. stench.
"My lord."
"village head."
The village chief bowed his body respectfully and lowered his head, and the lord nodded in return.
But at this moment, the experienced village head suddenly noticed something.
Although the lord is dressed gorgeously and exudes a temperament similar to those of the other great nobles, his movements and expressions are very stiff, and it is good to say that it is good to squeeze out.
True to the rumors, this lord is indeed a new nobleman who has just been enshrined.
People of the age of the village head generally have experienced a lot of things. When they were young, they fought with the old lord in the north and south, and when they were old, they became the village head in Moscari. The newly-appointed aristocratic village chief has seen countless times for his credit, and he can see the problem at a glance with such lame movements.
This made the village head feel relieved. It was easier for him to deal with a veteran who was also from the battlefield than to deal with that kind of pampered and unreasonable noble boy.
"You are very welcome, my lord. I am honored that you have come to Moscari Village today. From now on, this is your fiefdom. As your servant, I will come to familiarize you with the generation nearby—it must be very difficult for you to travel long distances. Tired, we have prepared lunch for you to enjoy with your subordinates. The Moscari village is a remote place, so please forgive me if you are not satisfied with anything."
"Don't worry, the village chief. We are just ordinary soldiers. How can we have such high demands? We are very grateful for your kindness. To be honest, I was a reckless person who only knew how to fight. There are many aspects that Feng Noble doesn't understand. I heard that you were once the right-hand man of the old lord of the place, and I still have many things to ask you for advice."
The village chief stroked his beard and smiled at this time, unexpectedly the lord was quite kind!
"Where is it? My lord, your name is well known to everyone. In this country, you are a great hero. Everyone knows that you have both courage and resourcefulness. How can a person like you be just a reckless person? What? Our village will still count on your protection in the future! [Translation: prprpr big guy is awesome, big guy take me! prprpr (licking dog language)]”
The village chief is also a man of culture, and his eloquence is also good. The lord who speaks freely is very comfortable, but even so, the lord still has to maintain his image.
The lord smiled and then said: "The village chief has won the prize, I'm just lucky, I still have a lot to learn from you!"
Immediately afterwards, the two liked to hear each other's nb, which is commonly known as business mutual bragging, but the lord was able to brag about a village chief for so long. It seems that not only the village chief understands the lord, but the lord also took the initiative Went to get to know the mayor.
Hearing the two bragging about each other's past brilliance, the man on the tree couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting 666!
I didn't expect Niu B to have such a way of bragging! I have learned it, if I have a small notebook, I will probably write it down.
Afterwards, the village chief began to lead the Lord to familiarize himself with the nearby villages. The militia captain Joseph and the always reliable Melita followed him. Except for the two personal guards, everyone around the Lord was entertained by the villagers to rest.
Naturally, Luka has been closely following Melita and the others. If you want to talk about Luka's impression of this lord? That can be said to be very annoying.
"Miss Melita, I heard that you and your father used to live in a big city, but were targeted by a powerful man and had to leave the city to live here?"
"Well, life was hard during that time. Sorry, I don't like bringing that up very much."
"Ah, I can understand. To be honest, I admire you. You used to be a beautiful young lady who lived in a big city and was well-educated and admired by everyone. But when you encounter this kind of misfortune, you can face it with strength-I want to say , a lady like you is very eye-catching."
"Thank you for your compliment."
"Snapped-"
"What sound?" The lord turned around in surprise when he heard the strange sound, but found nothing.
"It sounds like the sound of a tree branch breaking," said his bodyguard.
The lord reached out and pinched his chin, then shrugged: "Maybe some villager is busy? Let's keep going."
"Eh hehe" the village chief looked towards the direction of the voice and laughed a few times, then continued to take the lord to familiarize himself with the nearby roads: "From here, you can go straight to the east to reach Scarila Village, although other roads are also available. , but this is a shortcut, although it is not easy to go, but it is fast, and it is also very secretive. I often went there when I was young.”
Hiding in the shadow of the big tree, Luan was pinching the trunk of the big tree with both hands, with his head protruding slightly, and there was a crossroads on his forehead, and the black resentment surrounding him almost took shape.
This lord is definitely not a good person! He couldn't even look at Melita in the right way! It must be a conspiracy!
I don't know if it's because of some other reasons. Now, the lord is full of holes, and there is no good place. This is more terrifying than picking bones in an egg—because at this time, the lord has turned into an angry bully. Refined.
This is a little abnormal, you know, even though he is a little childish, he is also very docile, and he has basically never lost his temper after coming from the ground to the ground.
The first time was the quarrel with Henry, the second time was when Melita was robbed on the way to the city, and this time was the third time.
However, he himself didn't know why he got angry—he just got a little angry when he saw the lord getting so close to Melita, like a wild boar about to poke a cabbage! How to say? He hasn't beat Melita yet! Why is this guy arching? Why! ?
You must know that Ryoka has never been a reasonable person. If he hadn't met Melita, then if he encountered a problem, he would probably use a knife directly. A person of his strength doesn't need to be reasonable. You may not believe it. I thought about being reasonable, but my knife suddenly had a mind of its own and hacked you to death. What else can you say?
At this moment, Luan's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Miss Melita's necklace"
"Well, a friend gave it to me."
"It's so beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful necklace. It must be a great friend."
The lord held the necklace that Mei gave to Melita in his hand, and looked at it carefully. It was exquisite and beautiful, both in terms of workmanship and materials. It is afraid that the best jeweler in the country would not be able to polish the second one.
Suddenly, the lord was taken aback, and he felt a sense of great danger that he had never felt before. That feeling was far more terrifying than the feeling of having a sharp knife on his neck—if he had to find an appropriate metaphor, it would be to be alone in the In the endless night, you are faced with countless dangers that could kill you at any time but you don't know what it is—so, the lord instinctively stretched out his hand to the long sword at his waist.
"Gah!—"
"Crows? How can there be crows in this kind of place?"
"Where is it going to fly?"
However, at this time, people's attention was attracted by a black crow that suddenly flew through the air, so they did not notice the Lord's movements.
The lord suddenly came back to his senses, and found that his hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, as if he was about to pull it out in the next moment! He took the opportunity to slowly put his hand back to its original position, and reached out with the other hand to touch the back of his neck, which had some inexplicable tingling, and then took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" The village chief turned around and noticed the abnormality of the lord.
"It's okay, Miss Melita, your necklace." The lord shook his head and returned the necklace to Melita respectfully.
"Although it sounds a bit abrupt, I may have to leave for a while." Then, the lord looked towards the forest behind him: "Is there any beast in the forest?"
"Huh? No, there are only some rabbits and a few deer." The village head replied.
"That's it." The lord nodded, then looked at his bodyguard: "Follow me."
"My lord? My lord! Where are you going?" Seeing the lord suddenly lead people to run towards the forest, the village chief was at a loss.
"Nothing! Just wait for us here!"
After saying this, the lord disappeared.
Melita on the side was also very surprised, what happened all of a sudden after they were chatting well? But then she suddenly remembered something, and her body shook: "Village chief! I'll follow and have a look!"
Immediately afterwards, without giving the village chief and Joseph a chance to react, Melita rushed directly into the woods.
"Melita? Melita!" Seeing that the call was useless, the village chief sighed heavily: "What's going on with the young people nowadays? They're coughing for no reason."
"Village head? Why are you coughing, are you sick?"
"It's okay, it's just a small cold, it's old, it's useless"
