Chapter 230 Thanks
"...Because I thought that if a beast appears, I could use this sword to protect everyone, so..."
Liqin saw Chen Bai thinking, so she explained.
"Oh? But it's still quite awesome."
Chen Bai nodded and admired.
"——Huh? Have you seen me fight with them?"
Liqin asked in surprise.
"Ah! No, I just think that it's amazing if you can create your own!"
Chen Baigan replied with a smile, almost exposed!
"—Liqin, can you come and help?"
At this time, Mark suddenly called Liqin, Chen Bai and her turned their heads and saw them transporting the remains of villagers.
"--oh!"
Liqin then looked at Chen Bai and sought Chen Bai's opinions.
"Go!"
Chen Bai said calmly.
"Thank you so much!"
Liqin bowed thankfully and then returned to the crowd.
Seeing them busy, Chen Bai was not in a hurry to go back, and teleported them all away before entering the village and strolling around.
This village is so poor. All the houses are made of soil and some stones. The tiles on the eaves have been broken, and some even have only rooms with eaves.
Almost all the dresses of these villagers were stitched and patched, and they were a little dirty. No one saw that their clothes were brand new.
When he walked to the feeding circle beside him, Chen Bai couldn't help but frown when he saw a few thin chickens and ducks inside.
In this case, what's the use of raising these things? There's no meat at all, right? But maybe for them, they are indeed some money!
Seeing someone digging water, Chen Bai walked to the edge of the ancient well and looked down. The well was still deep, and the water source was at least ten meters above the ground...
When he came to the water, Chen Bai saw that the water was very clear. He thought it would be a source of green water!
"——Mr. Miu!"
Suddenly, he was calling him alone behind him, but Chen Bai didn't react. He thought of telling Mark that he was Miu, so he turned around and saw who was calling him.
Looking back, he saw a strange face. He bowed to Chen Bai and said respectfully:
"Big, sir... the village chief hopes you can go to his house!"
The young man said, his eyes daring to look at Chen Bai.
"Oh? I understand!"
Chen Bai nodded and signaled him to lead the way to the village chief’s house.
"The only Liqin in this village made me a little interested. When others saw their timid appearance, they felt bored..."
Chen Bai sighed and followed the young man to the village chief’s house.
There was no one in the house. As soon as I entered the house, there was an open space, which was large enough for work. There were kitchens, and there was some firewood next to the stove in the kitchen. In the center of the open space was a dilapidated table and several chairs.
Chen Bai sat on one of the chairs and observed the interior.
The sunlight shining in from the grids illuminates every corner inside, so you can see the environment clearly without using "night vision".
The subject of observation was a woman standing in the corner of the kitchen and farm tools placed indoors.
There are no mechanical equipment everywhere.
And what is placed on the table is also something that seems to be of some age!
The room is pretty clean, but because of poverty, it always gives people a dirty look. For example, there is no dust on the table, and you can't touch the dust or greasy hands, but you can see some dirt of different sizes sticking to it.
In order to avoid the sun, Ainz gently moved his hand on the worn-out table. He moved slightly, but the table with simple workmanship shook. The chair also had a significant response to Chen Bai's weight and made a harsh sound.
It's truly a poverty.
"Liqin is really amazing to be able to practice such skills in such an environment!"
Chen Bai was amazed in his heart again.
"It would be good if I took her to be an adventurer! But with this, I can't go with my current appearance! I should also pretend to be an adventurer and make her stronger from it! If she becomes strong, she finds that her benefactor is an enemy, what kind of look does she look like? What will she do?"
Chen Bai couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
...
"It's been a long time for you to wait."
The village chief sat down in the opposite seat. The village chief’s wife stood behind him.
The village chief is a man with dark skin and wrinkles on his face.
The body is very strong, and you can see at a glance that it is a physical exercise made by regular labor. The hair is gray, and almost half of the hair is dyed white.
Although the vulgar cotton clothes were stained with the soil, they did not smell bad.
Judging from his strong fatigue on his face, he was probably over forty-five years old, but his actual age was hard to judge. Because of the past few dozen minutes, he seemed to have become older.
The village chief’s wife seems to be about the same age.?
Although he still has the charm of a slender beauties in the past, it may be because of years of hard work in farming that his original beauty is almost gone. His face is full of freckles, and now he is just a slender aunt.
The shoulder-length black hair was damaged and messy, and it still looked dull even under the sunlight.
"Please use it."
The village chief’s wife put a rough cup on the table. The reason she didn’t have Yaerbaid’s share was because she wanted to take a walk in the village and not here.
Chen Bai raised his hand and politely declined the cup of steaming boiled water.
Chen Bai, who usually drinks dragon blood, really doesn’t like this kind of boiled water without smell. The economics and tubes are the most indispensable thing for humans. For him, he still doesn’t drink it if he can.
"—No need! I wonder what you are asking me for?"
Chen Bai directly and decisively approached the topic. He just wanted to take Liqin away and make her stronger. Apart from that, he didn't care about other things.
However, boiling water here is really troublesome, Chen Bai glanced at the boiling water rack with firewood.
"Although I specially prepared boiled water for me, I'm really sorry."
"You are so kind. You don't need to apologize."
The village chief and his wife, who bowed their heads and apologized, felt panic together. They seemed unable to imagine that the person who called the "Dead Knight" just now would bow their heads to apologize to him.
"... Then let's go straight to the point and discuss what you want to say!"
"Yes. But before negotiation...thank you very much!"
The village chief lowered his head and thanked him, almost hitting the table. Then the village chief’s wife behind him also lowered her head and thanked him:
"If you hadn't come to rescue me, all the villagers would have died long ago. Thank you very much!"
Chenbai was a little surprised by such heartfelt thanks.
I was not trying to save them. I originally planned to refuse to save them, but it was because I saw Liqin and was interested in saving this village.
"Please look up. I said just now, please don't care so much. I just came here because of Liqin and Mark."
"Of course we know, but please let us say thank you. Because your help has saved many villagers from living."
