East of Dovaru Village and north of Karsus Forest.
"Lu la la lu la la lu la lu la la~♬"
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
At this time, Annie was sitting on Tibbers' shoulder humming some unknown song, and the roars of monsters were heard from time to time in the dense forest on the road.
However, Annie didn't take it to heart and continued to let her little bear Tibbs walk forward.
After rescuing Hain, Alvin, and Liana, and successfully persuading the empire's Legion Commander Leon, Anne did not accept the thanks and persuasion of the villagers and Lord Sarras, and continued directly. Wandering around in this world.
Soon, she saw a village ahead. At the same time, when she and Tibbers walked in, they saw a group of strong villagers gathering together and discussing something loudly.
"Ahem!"
"What should I do now?"
"What should we do? If they dare to come, we will fight them, just like last year!"
"That's right!"
"Fight them!"
"But……"
"This year's news is so different from previous years. This year, it's probably the leader of the monster with the glaring eyes and white forehead. That scary guy is going to take action in person. Can we really defeat him?"
"beat!"
“If you don’t fight and see, how do you know whether you can survive the fight?”
"right!"
"Fight it! Otherwise, what's the use of our 'Village Guards'?"
"ah?"
"Isn't our village guard force recruited by force? Who wants to form it?"
"!!"
"Keep your voice down, or you'll be dead if the captain hears you!"
"Hey! Am I afraid of him?"
"He just became the captain of the 'Village Watchdog' a few years before us. Who is afraid of whom in a real fight?"
"you!"
"That's all for now……"
Just like that, the group of armed villagers gathered there and discussed something loudly.
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne just listened, and after learning that it was not a fun and interesting thing, she turned around and left, and then planned to see if there was any hotel or restaurant in this small village.
"Really!"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"Tibbers, I should have gone to that city with that lord. In that case, maybe I could get some delicious food now?"
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have been so anxious to leave..."
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
Annie sighed and spoke in frustration.
This village isn't very big, so there won't be any decent hotels or restaurants. Anyway, it can't be compared with big cities. Although the cities in this world are not that big, they are still better than this kind of shabby place in the wilderness. Better.
(Didn’t you save a lot of food from that pirate world? There is also an entire food world, why don’t you just find something to eat by yourself?)
(￢㉨￢.)
"No way!"
o(╥﹏╥)o
“You’ll get tired of eating too much delicious food, and people want to eat something special now!”
o(´^｀)o
Annie stubbornly refuted her little bear's suggestion.
When she wants to eat those delicious delicacies, she will naturally get them by herself. When she doesn't want to eat, no one can persuade her. Just like now, she just wants to see if there is anyone doing business in this village, and then she can Go buy some delicious souvenirs or something.
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(Tibbers didn’t want to talk anymore. He just continued to walk forward carrying his bad little master under the strange looks of the villagers.)
Soon, one person and one bear arrived in front of a small grocery store and hotel.
"what the hell?"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Why are you closing the door?"
(ー`´ー)
Looking at the closed door, Anne was certainly a little unhappy.
"Really!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
"It seems I can only go somewhere else to see..."
(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
Snapped! !
"What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and get on your way?"
('-')ノ)`㉨')
After staring at the closed door for a while, she felt that there was really no one inside. After a while, Annie reluctantly patted a certain bear on the head, signaling the other person to turn around quickly, leave the village, and change to someone else. A place to play.
(…)
(lll￢㉨￢)
"Hello!"
"Little girl, where are you from?"
"ah!"
"What kind of monster are you riding?"
Suddenly, at this time, a bearded man who was passing by with several young people holding dung forks saw Anne, and asked her in surprise and surprise.
"Eh?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"It's not a monster!"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"It's my family's pet Tibbers, a very powerful shadow bear!"
o(*¯︶¯*)o
Anne turned her head and answered, not glaring at the other party angrily.
"Very powerful?"
"Shadow Bear?"
The bearded man was obviously a little shocked, and then he couldn't help but look at the ferocious-looking bear several times.
"you……"
"Are you that kind of adventurer?"
Then, without knowing what he was thinking of, the uncle suddenly asked with some expectation.
"Adventurer?"
く(＾_・)ゝ
"Not!"
(′～`●)
Annie shook her head and said that she was not the kind of guy who made trouble everywhere just to make money, because she was never short of money!
"He's the kind of person..."
(„ಡωಡ„)
"The most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most The most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful super arcane mage!”
✧*. ٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*.
Then, of course, she stood up on Tibbers' shoulders and revealed her true identity as an arcane archmage.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Hearing Anne's ridiculing words and the long string of words 'most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most', the bearded uncle and the dung-fork warrior villagers around him couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say for a long time.
What I didn’t say was that a little girl on the other side dared to speak loudly in front of adults like them, and said that she was the kind of person who is the most, most, most, most, most, most... well, I don’t know how much. How could they easily believe the most powerful mage?
"Mage..."
"All right!"
Nodding, the uncle hesitated for a moment, and then without saying much, he planned to leave with the Dung Fork Warriors around him.
"Wait a minute!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"That...bearded uncle!"
(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ)
"I would like to ask, why is this shop here not open?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"I just wanted to buy something to eat!"
(O ^~^ O)
Seeing those people about to leave, Annie thought for a moment, then hurriedly called out to them and complained and asked.
"Of course it won't open!"
"besides!"
"I advise you to leave quickly. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There is a terrifying monster here called the 'Nian Beast' that is about to appear. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave later!"
"As you can see, we are going to gather and fight against those monsters soon."
The bearded uncle did not hide anything and directly told the reasons why each of them looked worried, why so many people gathered at the entrance of the village, and why the only hotel in the village was closed.
"ah?"
(lll￢▽￢)
"Warcraft?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
"So that's it..."
(͒˶´⚇`˵)͒
After blinking and knowing the reason, Anne could only nodded unhappily, then reached out and patted Tibbers on the head, preparing to let him take her away.
Since she was going to fight monsters here, and since there was no good food for sale here, she would definitely leave.
"!!"
"please wait a while!"
At this time, the bearded man who was about to leave didn't know what he was thinking of, but suddenly turned around and shouted to Anne, who was about to walk in a certain direction.
"What are you doing?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"
(°ー°〃)
Annie asked Tibbers, somewhat strangely, to turn around.
"You were just saying..."
"You are a..."
"A very powerful mage?"
The bearded uncle originally wanted to repeat what the other party said, but when he thought of the words 'most', he felt that it was a bit silly and a bit difficult to say that, so he could only reluctantly ask.
"Um……"
(´◔‸◔`)
"That should be considered right?"
(*^▽^*)
"Hello!"
"Village Chief, she is just a little girl. Isn't that obviously a lie?"
"that is!"
"You'd better stop messing around and get ready!"
"she……"
Before the group of impatient Dung Cha warrior villagers could say anything, they felt a wave of scalding heat coming over them.
"!!"
"?!"
Then, as they subconsciously retreated, they turned their heads and discovered that the giant bear the little girl was riding suddenly emitted bursts of dark red terrifying flames, and was staring at them maliciously.
What shocked them even more was that the little girl sitting on the shoulder of the giant bear was still sitting on the shoulder of the terrifying flaming bear unscathed, and could even look at it with a smile. them?
"how?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Do you have any objections to him being a super powerful mage?"
(*^▽^*)
Looking at the frightened faces of those guys, Annie asked with a smile.
If anyone dared to question and speak ill of her in person, maybe she wouldn't mind letting the little bear continue to scare them?
"..."
"..."
"..."
The Dung Cha warriors shut their mouths one after another, no one dared to speak again.
"..."
And the bearded man also didn't dare to speak for a long time.
After a while, when he came back to his senses and looked at the fearful young people around him, he thought about it, swallowed hard and said carefully:
"Is such that!"
"Mr. Master, we don't have much confidence that we can resist the incoming monsters on our own this time. So, if possible, can we hire you?"
"We will pay you and provide food and accommodation..."
"Of course, the reward will be paid after the Nian beast is driven away. What do you think?"
Gritting his teeth, the bearded man asked anxiously, and his tone was obviously much more polite than before.
"Hire?"
(ー`´ー)
Annie frowned her cute little brow.
"how?"
"Can't you?"
Big Beard had some hopes at first, but when he saw the embarrassed look on the little girl's face, he quickly turned into disappointment.
He was young and experienced, and seeing the little girl's expression, it was not difficult for him to guess that the girl would probably not agree to his employment request.
"It's not impossible."
(´•︵•`)
"It's just that their employment fees are very high, and you definitely can't afford them."
໒(⊙ᴗ⊙)७
That's right!
There is no accurate figure for the employment fee of Queen Anne!
It is very likely that the other party cannot afford the financial and material resources of the entire country, let alone a small village like this.
Of course, if she's happy...
It's possible that a meal would allow her to help, but the premise is that those meals are delicious enough?
"ah?"
"That's it..."
The bearded man was a little sad.
But in the end, he nodded, and did not dare to continue to plead. Instead, after taking one last look at the demon bear that contained the terrifying flames, he prepared to lead the people away.
"Wait a moment!"
☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ
However, at this time Annie called out to the other party.
"Master Mage?"
"you……"
"Any other orders?"
A group of people turned their heads in surprise, and then a young villager asked.
"Is such that……"
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
"If you are willing to prepare a clean room for people to rest in, and then prepare a delicious meal..."
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
"I might be able to help you a little bit!"
(•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖°
Not much, just a little.
Because Annie suddenly didn't want to change places anymore. She wanted to stay in this village for one night, so she directly stated the conditions that would allow her to help.
"ah!"
"It's that simple?"
Hearing Annie's words, the bearded man was obviously overjoyed.
“Then it’s decided!!”
Then, he couldn't wait to make a decision and agreed.
☽
night……
Crackling~!
Whoosh~!
Whoosh~!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
boom! !
boom! boom! ! !
Outside the village, in the night...
Under the blast of firecrackers and the colorful light and shadow effects of the colorful fireworks that were placed horizontally by the villagers and flew to the plains in the distance, those who took advantage of the darkness immediately The attacking 'Nian Beast' monster, those demonized forest beasts were really scared to death, and then turned around and ran into the forest in a panic, giving up on trying to attack the village during the night at this time of year. idea.
"..."
(｡◝～◜｡)Chew~!
At this time, a certain troubled little girl was eating heartily in the village hotel that was forced to open again, and from time to time she proudly looked out the window at the lively and noisy place at the end of the village.
(Master, is that the help you promised?)
(ಠ㉨ಠ)
"That's right!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Tibbers, look, weren't those monsters successfully scared away?"
(=^▽^=)
Those firecrackers and boxes of fireworks were, of course, brought by Annie from a world called 'Earth' to the villagers.
Those firecrackers are all electro-optical cannons as thick as a thumb, and the fireworks are all colorful fireworks with ninety-nine rings. Although their lethality is basically not much, they can't resist the noise of them!
In addition, those monsters have little knowledge and are not the kind of wise guys. Therefore, after the villagers obtain those 'magic items', they will definitely be more than enough to deal with them.
You know, the other party just treated Anne to a nice meal and provided accommodation, so she was only willing to provide this little level of help, and really couldn't do much more.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
(At first, Tibbers thought it had a chance to go out and have fun, but in the end, it turned out to be just like this?)
"alright!"
(∩▽∩)
"Tibbers, help bring that pot of vegetables over here!"
(/^▽^)/
Annie ordered.
(You can’t take it yourself?)
(lll￢㉨￢)
(However, before Tibbs finished speaking, he hurriedly jumped over and carefully brought the pot of meat on the other side of the table to a certain person who was frowning. In front of the little girl.)
"..."
(๑վ‸վ๑)
(Well... Dear little master, look, do you need anything else? If so, please feel free to tell me!)
(✪㉨✪)
(Looking at a certain bad little master with a bad expression, Xiong didn’t dare to be careless, so he had to ask with a shy face like this.)
