Chapter 18: Villages Destroyed

After leaving the Lin family, Liu Huan went wandering towards the country indicated by the system.

[Verifying the loan mode, the loan mode has been written off]

"Why are you so stingy?" liu Huan muttered with a pouting face after seeing the notification from the system.

"Oh yeah, the system displays information about me."

Instantly, Liu Huan was curious about her status.

[Display information]

[Name: Liu Huan]

[Lifespan: 24 years]

[Baby: Man]

[Cultivation: Unknown]

[Skills: High-Tiered Pill Refining, High-Tiered Sword User]

[Straight: Loan from the system, Nirvana Destruction Sword, High-level Intimidation]

"Hm... Why is my cultivation unknown?" murmured Liu Huan while looking at the screen floating in front of him.

[House master is not a real master, you can cultivate because it is aided by me.]

"Well, how else."

When Liu Huan was already quite far away from the city, from a distance he saw a small village. From Liu Huan's gaze, he looked at the condition of the village faintly.

"What's going on there?" he frowned because it was not clearly visible.

Out of curiosity, he increased his speed and finally arrived in front of the village entrance. When he got there, Liu Huan was quite surprised. The village he had seen from afar had now become very clear.

he saw a very alarming condition. The buildings around the entrance looked very worn and the walls were already badly damaged. The courtyards and streets in the village look unkempt and hollow.

Many houses have collapsed, and those still standing are also in very bad condition. Some of the buildings had even been burnt down, possibly as a result of war or attacks from monsters.

"Hm... System, do you know anything about this village?" liu Huan asked as he scanned the surroundings.

[Confirmation, basic knowledge. Confirmation of knowledge is successful.]

According to the information provided by the system, this village has been attacked by a group of mountain bandits over the past few months. They ask for money every year under the pretext of security. If the village could not provide the money they requested, then the villagers would be taken to the bandit headquarters.

“Sial,” grumbled Liu Huan after knowing that.

As he was walking in the village square, suddenly a very hoarse voice sounded, as if the person had been asking for help for several hours.

"Please!"

“Please me!”

the screams of a small child rang out from a hut to Liu Huan's left. Hearing that, Liu Huan immediately ran towards the direction of the voice. When he got there, he saw a little girl about 10 years old being surrounded by some bandits.

“Fucking boy! Why are you screaming? No one will come to help you.”

“Truely, Who would want to come to this broken village?”

“Hahaha!”

“Do you think there will be a black knight who falls from the sky to save you?”

As the bandits were playing tricks on the boy, Liu Huan's emotions reached their peak. He pulled his sword out of the sheath.

“Initial stage sword technique: Cloud Cutter.”

Quickly, Liu Huan attacked the bandits and split them apart with a single swing of the sword. The bandits could do nothing and their bodies were split into pieces, making the blood pour out like a fountain.

"You're fine, little brother," said Liu Huan who stood in front of him while slightly bowing.

Seeing Liu Huan coming to her aid, the little girl who had been feeling terrified from earlier, let out her tears. Liu Huan, who saw this, felt nostalgic as he helped a child in a valley.

Liu Huan picked up the girl and left from there. Since there was no one in the village, Liu Huan walked into a house that looked still quite strong. He dropped the girl off and tried to find her water.

When Liu Huan looked into the kitchen of the house, he found a water furnace that still had a little water left. He poured the remaining water into a glass and gave it to the little girl.

"For now, drink this first."

"Hm..."

The little girl accepted Liu Huan's offer and drank the water like a thirsty person. After he finished, the little girl hesitantly spoke to Liu Huan.

"Thank you, Brother."

Hearing the little girl's words made Liu Huan smile, he walked up to the girl and stroked her head.

"It's okay, it just so happens that brother is around here."

"If you could tell, whose name are you? Little brother?" With a friendly smiling face, Liu Huan tried to open a conversation with the girl.

With a still hesitant expression, the little girl played her small fingers and replied,

"My name is Ning Er, I'm 10 years old."

"Ooo... So this little sister is named Ning Er. Well then, greetings know Ning Er, big brother Liu Huan's name."

Liu Huan replied with a friendly smile drawn from her face when talking to Ning Er. Because Liu Huan who looked friendly to him made Ning Er slowly become more relaxed and feel safe.

"So may you know what's going on here?" liu Huan asked changing their subject.

"May," Ning Er with her small body and such a cute face nodded. He approached Liu Huan and sat down next to him and told him a story.

‘One year before, the village where Ning Er lived was very prosperous and the population was very friendly. Abundant natural results make the population live with prosperity. However, one day, a large group came to the village. Because their village is famous for its hospitality, the group was welcomed by the locals. However, the group that looks quite dangerous is threatening the locals. With their strength, the village that was so beautiful and beautiful turned into a gripping place. Every month, the villagers have to give money for security reasons.’

Liu Huan who heard Ning Er's story became pensive and looked a frown on his forehead. "This is the same as I heard from the previous system," he murmured.

‘One day, a plague attacked the village. The inhabitants suffered considerable losses as their crops declined. When the group came, the village chief tried to explain to them. However, they were angry and damaged the buildings. Out of fear, the villagers did not dare to fight them.

Since the villagers were unable to give what was requested, eventually the group brought two people from the villagers and raised the amount of money to be paid.’

That was how Ning Er finally ended her story with a trembling hand as if recalling with the bad memories she had experienced. Seeing that, Liu Huan gently stroked her hair and said,

"Don't worry, big brother will help you to restore this village as it used to be."

Just then, Ning Er who was listening to Liu Huan's words let out her tears. However, the tears that come out are not tears of sadness but happy tears because they have found a way to get out of the problems they face.

"Thank you, big brother," Ning Er said with an unstoppable happy cry.

"It's okay, little brother. From now on leave this matter to big brother," Liu Huan said softly.
