Anya had heard Keli brag before that her father was a highly respected figure in the village and was deeply loved by everyone.
His house was built by the villagers voluntarily, and each family would get a share of any good things they had.
"Because dad will protect the village and is the patron saint of the village!"
At that time, Keli said with pride.
Anya was a little disbelieving at first, but after this trip she realized that Keli was telling the truth. This small mountain village that didn't even have a name was actually quite wealthy, and her life was stable and comfortable.
“The people here are really honest and hospitable.”
"I never thought that in such a small place far away from the prosperity of the empire, without electricity, roads and railways, there would be such a paradise."
"The agricultural products here are also very good. They can be sold at affordable prices in big cities. Maybe you can consider investing in them?"
Anya sighed softly and added in her heart:
It would be better if they don’t always misunderstand that I am Keli’s mother...
The group continued walking and passed a potato field on the way. There was a big tree growing beside it. There were some broken knives and swords stuck under the tree. There were also some obviously alien-style tooth chains and bone chains hanging on the handles. There were also
There is a newly dug hole, just the size of a person.
"What's this?"
Anya asked curiously.
“Field House.”
Kelly replied.
Why is it called a villa?
Anya was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just speculated that it should be a place where some kind of traditional sacrifice was held in this village, but the name was a little strange.
Places with simple folk customs often retain some traditional customs, which is very common in the empire.
The housekeeper also noticed the pit, and after a while, it seemed that it would be suitable for him to lie down in it?
He smiled and didn't think much about it.
The group of people quickly reached the two-story terraced field dedicated to growing corn. Luo Er and Keli dived in without any scruples, and their figures quickly disappeared among the corn stalks.
Anya hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to go in, fearing that her pretty face would be scratched by the leaves.
The housekeeper, uncharacteristically, put his hands unseemly in his trouser pockets and slowly scanned the cornfield with his eyes.
He has been locking Rohr's position, and the hand in his trouser pocket has already grasped his sacred object.
After all, he still wanted to test it again to see clearly Rohr's strength.
It is not only related to his own safety, but also to the safety of His Highness Anya. This is his responsibility.
He will grasp the balance and carry out a probing attack. If the other party is really strong, he will definitely be able to tell that this is a non-hostile test. He will explain the situation and his responsibilities clearly, and the other party should also be able to understand.
If the other party is really an ordinary person, then naturally he will not even notice the attack.
Even in the worst possible outcome, with the open terrain and cornfields as cover, he was confident that he could escape safely with Anya.
After making up his mind, the butler's hand in his trouser pocket held the sacred object tightly.
But his nerves suddenly jumped, and he felt a not strong, but extremely terrifying power fluctuation behind him.
For a moment, he couldn't even tell what kind of fluctuation this was, which meant that his opponent was terrifyingly strong.
He was suddenly horrified, and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly. He suddenly jumped to Anya's side and looked back.
A middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary villager walked out of the corn field, holding a few bags of corn in his arms and hunching his waist slightly.
This man looked to be about forty years old, with the appearance of an ordinary passerby, and there was no sign of any power fluctuations in his body. He was even more ordinary than Rohr.
The terrifying fluctuation just now has long since disappeared, lasting less than a second, as if it was just an illusion.
Am I too sensitive?
The housekeeper thought to himself and silently stared at the ordinary villager passing by.
Only when he got closer did he notice an indescribable strange smile hanging on the corner of the other person's mouth.
At first glance, the smile seemed a bit dull and silly, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be very strange, hiding some kind of devilish nature that was difficult to describe.
The housekeeper stared at him closely, and he also stared at the housekeeper closely as he walked, his neck slowly rotating as he walked.
But when the two people's bodies were completely staggered, he still didn't look away. His neck actually rotated a full 180 degrees, and he was still staring at the butler!
The strange smile on his face became extremely scary and evil in an instant.
The housekeeper suddenly felt as if his brain had exploded, going blank. He could vaguely hear tinnitus in his ears, and a chill flowed from the top of his head to his tailbone. His face turned pale, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
He felt a long-lost fear, and it was the real fear between life and death.
But this feeling completely dissipated in less than a second, even faster than the previous wave, and the butler's body instinctively returned to normal.
Looking at the ordinary villagers again, they were walking on the road calmly, looking normal and ordinary, and their necks did not look like those of owls.
Everything seems to be the housekeeper's illusion.
Only a drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead, silently reminding him of the nightmare he had just had.
He calmed down a little and asked in a low voice:
"Your Highness, what did you see just now?"
"What?"
Anya looked confused.
"Are you talking about the man just now? He is as honest as the other villagers and has a warm smile, but he didn't give us corn."
Simple? Passionate?
The housekeeper couldn't help but be stunned.
Just at this time, Keli emerged from the corn field, holding a large pile of corn in her arms and holding one in her mouth.
The housekeeper hurriedly came forward and asked her if she noticed anything strange.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?"
Keli had corn in her mouth and couldn't speak.
Anya quickly went over to help her pick it up.
"Is there nothing wrong? What's wrong with you, uncle butler? Are you too tired?"
"You have been taking care of us these past few days, and you must not have had a good rest. Let's go back and rest soon!"
Keli said and quickly called Roll back.
On the way back, the housekeeper also sorted out his thoughts in his mind.
Since Keli said there was no problem, then there must be no problem with the nearby environment. He believed in Keli's judgment. Young people were more sensitive than him in terms of perception.
The problem is with you. You may have been under some kind of spell or spiritual suggestion without knowing it.
The one who did it was undoubtedly a master, and his strength was probably not weaker than his own.
Judging from my rich experience and experience, the other party did not want to harm me directly, but just wanted me to become suspicious and leave the village.
But Miss Kelly and Mr. Rolle would definitely not want to leave in such a hurry after seeing each other again after a long absence.
This successfully separated us and gave them the opportunity to strike!
Phew~ It was so dangerous, I almost fell into the trap.
The best choice right now is not to act rashly, act together with Miss Keli, and not give the opponent an opportunity!
