"Mom Lily... Can I ask you something?" Alan said while coding Freya.
Freya, who was informed by Alan on the way back to Lily's house, understood Alan's code. Freya invites Clara and Ole to play outside.
"You want to ask what the US is? Looks like it's important, until the others have to get out." Lily asked a little confused.
"Previously sorry if this would offend Ms. Lily. Does Miss Lily know that Ole's been stealing lately?" Alan asked slowly.
"What?" Lily was surprised by Alan's question. Lily immediately shed tears. She had not expected her son to do such an embarrassing thing. He never taught anything like that.
"Sorry Miss Lily... I know this question will offend Miss Lily..."
Lily was still trying to catch her breath.
"Well..."
"It's all my fault. I can't take good care of my son." Lily muttered softly.
"That's not it, Miss Lily... Seeing the condition of Lily's mother, I also understand why Ole was caught stealing."
Lily was crying again. From the look of his eyes implied regret not being able to take care of his son properly. Alan let Lily calm down first.
An hour later, Alan came out of the house to call his friend. Alan managed to get information about this village from Lily. Although not up to the details once, considering Lily is only often home because of the pain she suffered. Lily can also know the information provided to Alan from Ole who often told her.
From Lily's information, most of the residents here work as iron ore miners. They work from before sunrise to night. That was why the streets in the village looked deserted.
People actually object to their work. But because the taxes from the kingdom are so high that citizens have no other choice.
Even Lily also had to pay taxes to the Kingdom. Though the condition is not possible. As a result, he has been in arrears of taxes for the past 1 year. The kingdom threatens to confiscate Lily's house if Lily does not pay taxes.
It was fortunate that the distance from the Royal capital to South Hill was far. So the royal forces deployed to this village are few. Given the southern region does not border with other kingdoms. Royal troops are more placed in areas bordering other countries and capitals. So no Royal troops are yet collecting taxes.
Alan who was feeling sorry for Lily and Ole condition also promised to find a way out for Lily and Ole. so that Ole does not need to steal anymore.
'Joker... Do you know Lily's illness and the cure?'
[Lily's disease is Botulism. Can be cured by inhaling steam leaves *G*ynora* which are boiled regularly.]
"Botulism? Gynora?"
Alan immediately thought of the herbs he had picked while in the forest. Alan also met Freya to take the plant from the dimensional bag Freya.
"It's a good thing I thought about picking some plants in the woods." Alan muttered.
Alan picked up some Gynora plants and planted them in front of Lily's house. Not to forget Alan asked Clara to boil some leaves.
When Clara finished boiling it, Clara gave it to Alan. Not long after Alan gave it to Lily mumpung steam leaves are still a lot.
Lily also inhaled the leaves. The side effect of the steam leaves is that it can make the inhaler fall asleep. Lily went to sleep after inhaling the steam.
"You two please wait and take care of Lily. I'm out for a minute."
Clara and Freya obey Alan. They didn't ask where Alan was going. That will definitely take care of something important.
"Sir Village Chief... Can I buy a piece of land on the edge of the village?" Alan asked the South Hill Village Chief.
"Sure Mr. Honorable Guest. You can buy land here. But the price is certainly not cheap."
"May I know the price?"
"10 gold for one hundred square meters "
Alan gawked with the Village Chief's answer. 10 gold? If alan hunting takes 1 year to get that kind of money. Alan's money was only 74 silver. Indeed, for the cost of living such money is quite enough. But to buy land? Still less than 9 gold 26 silver.
"Well, Mr. Village Chief. I'll prepare the money." Alan went to the iron mine. He had seen the iron ore mine was guarded by more than 20 players. And that player player had the same emblem on their chest. They must be from a Guild. Guilds that could have power over mines would definitely have a relationship with the Kingdom, and they certainly had quite a lot of money.
Alan walked closer to the mine. The road to the mine is a spacious road without trees. Only a few large rocks sometimes decorate the edges of the road.
From the equipment he was using, it seemed like the man was the head of the guard.
"I don't mean badly. I'm here to offer items for me to sell to your Guild. Will you be able to contact your guild master?"
"Our chief is in the capital. What kind of stuff do you want to offer?"
"Not much.just some gear and weapons." Alan said while taking out some level 25 weapons and above.
The eyes of the guards immediately sparkled to see the weapons and equipment that Alan took out. They've been guarding the mine for a week. They haven't upgraded their weapons.
Alan was immediately alert after seeing the guards gaze towards the weapons and equipment issued by Alan. He was sure they would have bad intentions.
"Not bad... Can I see that gun up close?" Said the guard's leader.
Alan came closer to show the goods he was going to sell. But when Alan was getting closer, the man smiled cunningly. He quickly drew his sword and slashed towards Alan.
Alan who saw the man's sneaky smile grew even more wary. And sure enough, the man slashed his sword at him. Alan immediately reacted using his Shadowing skill to enter the shadow of the man.
The sword of the man only slashed the wind. Everyone was shocked to not be able to say what seeing Alan instantly vanish. But not until they are aware of their surprise. Alan was already standing next to the man.The claws of the alan gauntlet were right around the man's neck.
"I told you I had no bad intentions. I just want to sell stuff, not fight!" Alan said with a murderous look.
The man and the person behind him could not move to see Alan's murderous gaze.
"Ka...You're..." The man said he did not believe he was in danger.
"I'm Red Bull. Platoon commander of the Heart King Guild. You dare to be like me?" Said Red Bull with a slight tremble.
Even if it's just in the game. But the sensation of fear, pain is very real.
"I don't care which Guild you are from. I just want to sell my stuff. Why are you attacking me?" Alan was still with his cynical tone.
"What are you waiting for? Attack her?" Shouted Red Bull.
But after Red Bull's shout came out, Alan's claws went into Red Bull's neck. Red Bull's body was lying lifeless, the healer behind Red Bull could not save him.
Seeing his lead being killed, Red Bull's subordinates immediately attacked Alan. More than six arrows were after Alan. Alan also used Red Bull's body as a shield to dispel arrows.
Jeep.jleb...
The arrow just stuck in Red Bull's body, nothing hit Alan.
Alan instantly used his Shadow Stab to appear behind Healer.
Slashwas...
The healer's head was instantly slashed by Alan's dagger. Alan did not linger for long. instantly let out his Black Breath.
"Black Breath!"
The poisonous gas immediately surrounded everyone who was there. Everyone could only stand looking at their opponents one by one.
Alan left only one person. Alan quickly kicked a man carrying an arrow. The man came out of the toxic gas area.
"Ohuk... uhuk..." The man coughed while trying to stand up.
But not until he can stand up completely. A claw was already attached to his neck the claw moved upwards slowly, so the man followed the movement of the claw so as not to be injured by the claw.
"What do you want? We are members of the Heart King Guild. You want to try something like that with us?"
"I don't care... Tell your Ketu. This mine is mine. If you want to take it back, you have to pay 50 gold." Alan said as he slashed his claws.
The man could only die. His face still showed shock at what Alan said.
