When a sound that was enough to alarm all the birds in the temporary camp flew outside the reeds, Tesia was leaning on the meadow paved with slightly dry reed stalks and carefully counted the bright gold coins she had just received. Although it was not
The gold gryphon coin issued by the Karl Kingdom affiliated with the Golden River Valley, but the redbud flower imprinted on it still made her overjoyed.
One, two,..., five.
She took the trouble to fiddle with the little cutie, which was not much bigger than her thumb. Listening to the crisp metal sound, she felt relaxed from the bottom of her heart.
It seems that with these, all the noise outside the reeds can be pushed out of my mind.
As for the River Valley City guards who came to arrest him, Tesia didn't take them seriously and seemed extremely confident.
After all, since that lord was able to pass through the fog that shrouded the Golden River Valley, he could also escape from the pursuit of Viscount Cohen's minions.
Just listen to his words.
Where there is water, they won't go near it!
She kept in mind the many regulations in the teachings and strictly abided by them. No matter whether the wet soil wetted her cherished cotton trousers or messed up her soft and curvy long chestnut hair, she never left the reeds.
Listening to the gurgling water, she felt extremely at ease, until the sound of footsteps came to her ears, she suddenly felt like a kitten being pressed on the back of her neck, and her heart suddenly seemed to be clenched.
Average.
…
"Don't be afraid, it's me, but can you escape their pursuit by hiding here? Little guy, oh no, little girl."
Woody looked at the short figure trying to squeeze himself into the reeds and said jokingly. He discovered that the seller he had just traded with was a petite girl with golden curly hair that was different from Weilanduo and was older than Weilanduo.
She was smaller, and her complexion was far less fair than hers, with a bit of earth color, but her cunning and smart eyes were almost the same as hers, which made him miss Weilanduo and his aunt a little.
They should also be preparing to head to St. Lawrence now.
"Sir, you scared me!"
Tecia, who was in a hurry to escape, didn't even have time to put down her hood. When she saw the person she had just traded with, she looked frightened. She patted her chest and said angrily.
"What's the matter, are you guilty of being a thief?" Woody was actually in a normal mood now, but when he saw the little girl who looked like Weilando in front of him, he felt much happier and couldn't help but joke.
"You're the one with a guilty conscience!" The girl in front of her was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, jumping to her feet and retorting with unprecedented intensity.
"Then why are you in such a hurry to hide?"
Woody is currently idle and doesn't mind digging up some behind-the-scenes stories from the girl in front of him that he didn't know much about in his previous life to satisfy his inner curiosity at the moment.
"Of course...of course...it's none of your business!"
The chestnut-haired girl originally wanted to explain, but as soon as her eyes narrowed, she immediately became alert and her tone became extra cautious.
"What does it have to do with me? Because they came to buy your medicinal materials, okay?"
Woody said angrily, and pointed in the direction of the temporary camp, where the guards' scoldings and orders were faintly heard.
When the girl in the cloak heard Woody's words, she suddenly felt guilty and said.
"Then...then...I'm sorry."
"Did they hurt you, sir?"
As she said that, she also pulled up the brim of her cloak and carefully looked at Woody's face and various parts of his body for the first time.
After all, in her memory, the villagers in Huangshi Town who offended the guards were all beaten badly, and even lost their lives because of it, because this kind of involvement was their favorite thing to do, and she did not
There is no doubt about the authenticity of this matter.
But when she saw that Woody was completely intact, she was stunned, but then she thought of something.
"Did you give them all the herbs?"
"If so, then let me compensate you with something. I still have a little bit here. If...if you want to withdraw, can you give me some time...I promise, I promise that after they leave, I will
I’ll find a copy of the same herbal medicine for you.”
The girl obviously didn't have much business experience. Before Woody could speak, she easily revealed all her trump cards.
Before Woody even had time to say the words "They asked me to hand over the things I bought from you!", he was already anxious as if the next second, Woody was going to blame her.
Seeing that the girl was so anxious, Woody couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he said patiently.
"No, they didn't seem to want to conflict with me. They just had a brief exchange and left."
"Are those minions so easy to talk to?"
The cloaked girl looked a little suspicious, but Woody insisted on this statement, and there were no other injuries on his body, so it seemed that there was no conflict.
She could only believe it, but she was still not completely reassured. Instead, she hurriedly reminded her.
"Then you have to be more careful. When they are in our place, they will even pluck out the feathers of the birds on the roadside and take them away. They will definitely not give up..."
His tone was full of certainty and certainty.
Woody was a little curious as to what kind of experience would make a little girl under the age of fifteen feel so malicious towards the guards.
Seeing that Woody didn't speak, the little girl thought that Woody was starting to be scared or worried. In order to dispel the panic in his heart, the girl came to comfort him and said with her pointed chin raised.
"But since you found me and came to this place, it means you are lucky. Don't worry, follow me, they will not find you. When I send you away from the Golden Valley, they will not look for you.
Trouble."
"No need to thank me, just consider it my apology for being frightened by them just now!"
"……."
"You know them well?"
Looking at the extremely confident girl in the cloak, Woody was curious about where her confidence came from.
However, the cloaked girl seemed to have concerns, and did not tell him who she relied on. She simply dismissed his question with words such as "I have been dealing with them for a long time." "I am a local, so I don't know." But
Obviously Woody could tell that she must be hiding a lot of things from him.
But this was human nature. Woody was not strong enough to ask her to tell him everything she knew. Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about this topic in depth, he decisively changed the subject.
"What's going on in Riverdale City? I thought it was a little weird when they came to me."
After all, it is more convenient to ask the locals, but the cloaked girl in front of me obviously has some scruples in this regard.
Woody was helpless, but he couldn't force her to answer, so he could only be patient and take his time. However, her expression showed that she still wanted to talk about something, but it was most likely because she had just met and felt insecure.
.
Woody only now remembered that he forgot to introduce himself, so he simply introduced himself.
The girl in the cloak also looked particularly elegant and elegant.
"My name is Tecia Carr."
"Nathesia, you seem to be very concerned about money? Is it because of the elf market that is about to open?"
Woody got the name of the cloaked girl in front of him and stopped beating around the bush. He needed to know more, which would be helpful for his next actions, not to mention that there was a bronze dragon screaming crazily in his heart.
"Help her, help her!"
"Oh, such a pure soul, such a breath of justice and kindness, I haven't felt it in a long time."
"It's like swallowing a baby shark in the middle of summer,"
…
Mentioning this, Tecia's interest was obviously much lowered. Her eyes were staring blankly at an inconspicuous position in the reeds, without focus, and her tone was no longer bold as before. Instead, she became a little hesitant, but in the end she nodded and admitted.
.
"Yes, I need some money because my mother is sick. I need to go to the Elf Market to buy something that can cure her. I heard that there is a fountain of life there that can cure all diseases."
When she said these words, her amber eyes were full of longing, but the more Woody listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Not to mention whether the group of exiled wood elves had such a precious treasure as the fountain of life, let’s just say that with the extremely stingy temperament of elves towards humans, if they can be so generous to strangers, they will not have any problems with their relationship with humans.
It's so stiff, not to mention that this thing can't be bought with just five gold coins.
"Cure medicines are also available. Anyway, I just want my mother's condition to get better."
Seemingly noticing Woody's frown, Tecia showed a self-deprecating smile and said nonchalantly.
"What kind of disease?"
Woody vaguely realized that this disease was probably related to the curse he saw on the guard leader today, but he did not reveal it immediately and continued to ask.
"At night, I have a headache and feel weak, and I will faint soon. I can't wake up no matter how I scream, and my body's temperature will drop, as if I'm dead. I'm really... really scared."
Tecia's description of the disease and the imprint in her mind were very fluent, but when she talked about the symptoms, her eyes could not help but show fear and panic. It was obvious that her mother was like everything to her.
.
She doesn't want to lose!
"Are there other people in your town who have this disease?"
Woody was keenly aware that Tecia had obviously seen similar symptoms. Sure enough, when he asked, Tecia had a look of unbearability on her face. Although she did not admit it, it also made Woody's suspicions more certain.
"Is it because of Riverdale?"
Woody continued to guess, but Tecia shook her head bluntly at this question.
"It's none of their business. Although the guards in Riverdale City are not kind to us, it's because the law is strict and the lord is evil. But the curse and illness have nothing to do with them, because... even the jesters around Viscount Cohen himself
If your loved ones also suffer from this disease, or in other words, all residents in the entire Golden Valley are equal, and no one will escape the curse because of their status as a noble or rich man. On the contrary, the probability of them getting it seems to be higher."
"In this case, wouldn't anyone ask for help from the outside? For example, ask priests from other city-state temples to help."
Woody thought it was the lord of Riverdale City who caused the incident, but the girl in front of him swore that it had nothing to do with them. It seemed that there was something hidden behind it.
Seeing Woody thinking, Tecia sighed.
"You should stay with me. It's still some time before the Elf Market. When they leave, I will take you out of the Golden Valley."
Woody was dumbfounded for a moment. Seeing that she had taken her promise seriously, he was a little helpless, but he didn't have the pleasure of lying all the time, so he could only tell the truth.
"Don't worry, their strength is not yet able to shake me and the business group I am staying with. Thank you for your kindness."
"The main purpose of my coming here is to see what help you need. Your herbs are all fresh and their medicinal properties are well preserved."
Seeing that Tecia still didn't believe it, Woody could only helplessly point in the direction where he was just now.
"Did you hear the sound just now? It was me who made it. I knocked down one of their guard leaders. He is probably lying on the bed and howling now."
"Guard leader?"
"He's the tall and thin one. He likes to expose half of his armor. He has no beard on his chin and his cheeks are thin. He should not be 1.8 meters tall."
Woody described it casually, but unexpectedly, Tecia looked very surprised. She said in surprise.
"You defeated Silver Knight Russ?"
"Ride a black horse and you're also called a silver knight?"
A black line appeared on Woody's forehead. Except for the bright silver armor, Woody couldn't associate this nickname with it.
"That's because Ruth has long silver hair. It is said that his ancestors have aristocratic blood. He obviously ate in the mud like us not long ago. My mother said that when he was hungry when he was a child, he would come to our house to get potatoes."
Tesia said this with a look of disdain, obviously condemning Russ for forcing him to add noble blood to his ancestors and for his ungrateful behavior.
"Wait, what did you say?"
Woody grasped the information point.
"Ruth was not a knight not long ago, but became a guard recently?"
"Yes, it was just three months ago. He was obviously idle in the town at that time, and he would peek at Aunt Jenny every day..."
The kid was eloquent and told basically everything Ruth had done in Yellowstone Town.
Woody also fell into deep thought after hearing these words.
If it is true what Tecia said, then being able to upgrade a little gangster to a warrior with a challenge level of at least 5 or above, and a professional with the ability to cast spells, this kind of ability is definitely not something that ordinary people can give.
In Asenland, the only thing that can give ordinary spellcasters abilities is to learn how to cast spells, like a druid, to resonate with nature and gain the authority to cast spells.
Or with the help of the gods, enter their exclusive channel and cast spells based on your contribution and piety levels.
And looking at Cohen's situation, it's most likely the latter.
In other words, it has something to do with God.
So, this reminds Woody of the hidden copy hidden in the Golden River Valley in his previous life.
"Lost Temple."
Challenge level 10.
