The Queen of Death Return
The Saved Village
We are now in a mysterious village. The village was surrounded by Mana barriers and guarded by powerful Golems. Who are the people in this village?
"Are we going in?" my many.
"We're going in." Miss Licia directed her hand at the barrier.
*swib
His hand broke through the barrier.
"Miss Licia, are you okay?"
"It's safe, let's go in,"
What was the purpose of them putting up this barrier? This barrier is perfect for hiding from enemies chasing you. But, if your enemy is Miss Emina, it won't work.
We simultaneously entered the barrier.
What's inside?
*swing
A sharp weapon was directed towards us.
There were some people standing right in front of us. It seemed like they could look outside and deliberately wait for us to enter.
"Who are you?"
"Uh, ka-"
"We are Adventurers, it seems like there are some medicinal plants we can get in this forest, we are also curious about what is behind the protectors, forgive our impoliteness." Miss Licia cut me off right away.
"Thanks to your head, Miss, it seems you came with good intentions" said one of the villagers.
"Good intentions?" Miss Licia tilted her head.
"The Holy Sculptor did not attack you, it shows that you have no malicious intentions towards our village."
Sacred Statue? That golem?
"If you want to find some medicinal plants, we sell them, are you interested?"
"We will buy it, before that, can we meet the Village Chief?"
Miss Licia was truly extraordinary, she could estimate what action to take without arousing the slightest suspicion.
The villagers allowed us to meet their Village Chief. They don't suspect us. Did they really worship those Golems?
This village is not much different from other villages. All residents do their activities as in general.
"Huuh ...?"
I looked towards the large field. There were many youths swinging wooden swords. Are they training? That was so incredible. Very rarely were there villages that had fighters. Unlike other villages that always blame the Landlord in case something happens to them.
"We have reached the Village Chief's house,"
We were in a pretty big house.
The person who led us opened the door of the Village Chief's house.
"Aria, you have some guests,"
A girl sat in the corner of the room while holding some paper notes in her hands.
"Oh, prepare a seat for them,"
Huh uh?! That girl is the Village Chief?
We sat in the chair provided.
Does this house have a living room? What kind of house is this?
The girl moved to our place. He put his chair in front of us.
"Sorry, I can't provide anything for you guys, I just rearranged the inside of this house,"
"No problem" said Miss Licia.
"My name is Aria Hartz, as you know, I'm the Village Chief here,"
He really is a Village Chief. How can a girl my age lead a village?
"You must not believe it, there are some events that made me the Village Chief,"
"That's it, huh? No problem, Miss Aria. My name is Licia Corwell, and this is my sister Emina Corwell,"
"My name is Zain Aither, nice to meet you, Miss Aria,"
"So, what made such an important person from the Rexist Kingdom come here?"
"...." - ".The three of us were shocked by Miss Aria's words.
He knows who we are? But, how can it be?
"You know that?"
"Only I know, at least the villagers believe that you are Adventurers,"
How could he know that?!
"Don't worry about that, what is your purpose in coming to the Empire?"
"Huh .. well, even though I'm still wondering how you got to know our identity, I won't question that anymore,"
Miss Licia recounted the entire incident that befell the Rexist Kingdom.
"So then, I'm sorry for what happened with the Rexist Kingdom. So, you guys want to find some S rank strong Adventurers from the Empire?"
"Actually we just want to find someone,"
"...." - ".Miss Aria's face looked confused.
That makes sense, why are we just looking for someone to save the Kingdom? Maybe that's what's on Miss Aria's mind.
"His name is Alissa Hart, maybe you didn't recognize him because he's the new Adventurer from the Capital of Emperors"
"I know you,"
"Did?" My eyes immediately widened to hear his words. "Wait .. Do you recognize him?"
"Of course, because he saved our village from the Ogre's attack,"
Ogre Attack? Wait ... There are rumors saying that there is a village that makes a new belief. The village was attacked by a herd of Ogres earlier.
I opened my mouth slowly. "W-Is this Sige Village?"
"true." Miss Aria answered him with a smile.
"Forgot that, can you tell us where the Adventurer named Alissa Hart is?" Miss Licia cut our conversation.
Miss Aria looked at him very cynically.
"Calm down, Miss Licia,"
I was so panicked to see this. Even Miss Emina has been quiet since entering this village.
"I'm sorry for my insolence." Miss Licia calmed down again.
I understand Miss Licia's attitude. We don't have much time right now. But, at least do not make a mess in this village.
"It's okay, the man you're looking for is coming to this village,"
"He comes every weekend to bring some of our crops,"
A weekend? So, today.
"Alright, we'll wait for her, thank you, Miss Aria," I said.
-----------------------------
While waiting for Miss Hart, I went to the training ground in the village. I'm a little curious about the power of the people here.
I looked at the field where the Fighters were practicing.
A field that is perfect for training. Grass that is cut very short also makes it easier for them to move. All right, I'll be there.
"Yeahaaak!"
*tuk! Yoke!
The average job they have is Warrior. There is no Swordman. Very unfortunate.
"Hey, that guy over there, join me!" One of them called me.
"All right!"
My body feels a little stiff.
I took the wooden sword from their storage box.
Very comfortable to hold.
"I'm starting." He swung his sword.
Whoever my opponent is, I won't give you a waiver.
*tuk!
I fended him off so hard that his sword was thrown.
"Yahoo!"
"Wooah, that guy was great." "True, can Lux defeat him?" Some people talked about our fight.
The lux? Is he the strongest here?
Someone came to us.
He looks strong.
Name: Lux Cassago
Age :28
Race : Human
Job : Warrior
Tittle : -
Level 144
His name is Lux. His level is higher than the people here.
"My name is Lux Cassago. Do you want to practice a match with me?"
His intentions are easy to guess.
"All right,"
We are both in a position to prepare.
The upright attitude he showed was very good.
He's advancing!
*tuk! Yoke!
We fought each other with swords.
"Huf." He jumped back.
Analyzing the fight, huh?
He swung his sword at me. He's after my neck? Very brutal!
I avoided it by lowering my body down.
There's a gap at the bottom.
I swung my sword up, aiming for his chin.
*tuk!
He parried it with a sword. He moved his hand over the handle of the sword.
Very fast response.
"Huh?"
He swung his sword down towards my back.
Damnit damnit!
*swush!
*tuk!
"...." - ".His face looks surprised.
I held back his attack with the sword that I had previously laid on him. To be more precise, I used the tip of my sword to hold it back, as it had no time to dodge. This wood is really strong.
"No, it can even fend off such an attack, if it continues maybe I will lose,"
He's not a cocky guy as it turns out.
"That's just my luck, Mr. Lux,"
We shake hands with each other.
"My name is Zain Aither, nice to meet you,"
She smiles.
*Prok Prok Prok
The sound of applause distracts me.
I saw someone under the tree.
That guy who clapped?
I focused my eyes on that person.
Wait ... is it?!
"Miss Hart?!"
Connect ....
