She Chooses To Destroy the World
Chapter 43: Lord knight.
Alice again followed the old village head into his house. This time, his performance was much more enthusiastic than when Alice entered his house for the first time.
"You sit here for a while." He first found a very comfortable cushion for Alice, then went to make tea, and went around as busy as a spinning top, not forgetting to order someone to prepare lunch:
"Hey, your kid went to Peggy's house and said that the knight master sent by the Duchess is going to eat at their house at noon. Oh, yes, you can find some young people to stare at Master Reynolds, if so Seeing him go, quickly call someone to clean up the house...Hurry up!"
It seems that the old village chief is quite prestigious in this village. The villagers he ordered did not show any dissatisfaction at all. They agreed and left. Alice remembered that the Peggy’s house mentioned by the old village chief seemed to be Because Reynolds insisted on exercising the right of first night, the family that couldn't let his daughter marry.
The family's luck was probably pretty good, and it happened to catch up with her when Reynolds was embarrassed. This time their girl should be able to marry smoothly.
This thought flashed through Alice's mind, and she didn't spend much time thinking about it. At this moment, she just kneaded her arm and couldn't help thinking back to the scene when she just called Cecilian's name.
What is going on? Alice knew that she had beaten Reynolds, and she didn't need to rely on Cecilia's power. But at that moment, she seemed to be out of control. There is a special impulse in her body, which drives her to use the divine power of the gods. The effect of divine power is of course very good, but Alice doesn't like this feeling of being uncontrollable. If she insisted on describing it, Alice felt like she was possessed by something.
Is it Cecilian? Attached to her when she felt strenuous? Although it can probably be understood this way, Alice always feels that it should not be the case.
She has always trusted Circillian unconditionally. Her life was saved by him, and she had already sworn to him in the dark dungeon and dedicated everything she had to him. Otherwise, Alice thought that there was nothing worthy of anyone or any **** Tuxi in her body. She didn't believe that it was really possessed, but she also wanted a reasonable explanation.
But Cecilian didn't say a word at this moment.
He was obviously here, Alice knew. But she also knew that Cecilian generally would not follow her requirements exactly. He has his rhythm, has his plan, and will not explain everything to her immediately. Besides, there are old village chiefs coming in and out here, saying this or that, and this is probably not a suitable place for conversation.
Just when Alice was tangled, the old village head had already come over with the teapot:
"This herbal tea is very effective in relieving muscle fatigue. Come and drink a little."
The old village chief’s herbal tea came just in time, and Alice’s battle with Reynolds had just used Circelian’s supernatural power, but Reynolds’s several hundred catties of fat was really crushed. Alice's body caused her to overuse all the muscles, and she was sore and sore. Although the use of Cecilian's supernatural power did not come from her intentions, she had to pay for this kind of soreness. Thinking about it from this angle makes people feel even more annoyed, which makes Alice a little angry with Circillian.
Fortunately, the herbal tea prepared by the old village chief is very fragrant, and the warm tea is also very effective in relieving fatigue. Alice drank a cup of tea, surrounded by the aroma of herbs, and felt her nerves become relaxed and less nervous.
After all, the village land rewarded by the Duchess is a happy thing. Even if there is a little trouble in the process, Alice feels nothing to worry about.
The old village chief sat opposite Alice, had tea with her, and told her about the situation in the village. The old village chief was a sensible person. After seeing the situation just now, he knew that Lord Reynolds, who had been in control of the village, would never come back again. The new master of Ronald Village is the young female knight in front of him, at least, until something happens to the duchess, this situation will not change.
The new owner looked much more reasonable than Master Reynolds, and the old village chief looked at her, looking forward to the future of the village a little bit more.
Except for a few households in Ronald Village who are self-cultivating farmers who own their own land, most of them are tenant farmers, earning a living by renting land in the village. Every fall, the tenant farmers pay half of their income as tenant rent. In the past, Lord Reynolds personally sent people to collect the money. If the new knight master does not plan to live in the village for a long time, he, as the village head, can also collect rent for her. It's just that this job requires a lot of manpower. If you hand over this job, you will have to use a portion of the money you collect as work expenses.
In addition to the fields, there are also some real estate in the village, including a wind mill and a sacrificial field for the **** of farming and pastoralism. The wind mill is free for tenant farmers to use, but if self-employed farmers or people in other villages want to use it, they need to pay a certain fee. The income of wind mills is usually not too much, basically only enough for routine maintenance, so it is not recorded in the account. Usually this money is kept by the village chief, and if there is surplus, sometimes it is used for other purposes.
Before the old village chief had time to tell Alice about the sacrificial place of the Faun, the young man he had sent out came back and informed that the lunch at Peggy's house was about to be prepared.
The old village chief put his head out of the window and looked at the position of the sun:
"Then let's stop here for the first time. It's a good time to have lunch right now."
Peggy’s house is a little bit away from the old village chief’s house. The village chief suggested that Alice ride over and step on a donkey. They walked for almost seven or eight minutes before seeing Peggy's house from a distance. Some people were waiting there. Before Alice and the old village chief could get close, they heard them yelling:
"Master Knight is coming! Come and meet everyone!"
Alice was very happy to be welcomed by the villagers. But looking from a distance, she always felt that something was wrong. The villagers who came to welcome her seemed a bit...too scared?
Alice didn't know at all. While she was staying at the old village chief's house to drink tea, the rumor that the new knight master sent by the duchess defeated Lord Reynolds had already spread in the village.
At that time, many people watched her and Reynolds duel in front of the old village chief's house, but in order to avoid being affected, not many people stood close. Although most people saw her holding Reynolds above their heads, not many people actually saw her. From the perspective of the people in the village, the knight who can defeat the vicious Reynolds must be a more cruel and terrifying guy than Reynolds. Therefore, Alice is logically described as a vicious person who is bigger than Reynolds.
Of course, some people who stood close really saw her figure and appearance clearly. Out of habitual gender stereotypes, they never thought that the new master knight might be a female, but they also told others. The new knight master is thin and handsome. However, there were a lot of people present at the time. With most of them claiming that Master Knight is a monster, these people even began to have doubts about what they saw with their own eyes.
When someone came to Peggy's house to send a message asking them to be responsible for the lunch of the "master knight who is new to take over the village", the family was scared to death.
The decent Martin knight died too long, these simple tenant farmers have long forgotten that there are landlords in this world who act unlike Lord Reynolds. Therefore, after hearing the news, the Peggy family’s first reaction was that the new master knight was not as patient as Lord Reynolds, and he could wait until their little daughter Lisa’s wedding night. He wants it now. Come and take her away.
Master Cavaliers made such a decision, what else could poor tenant farmers like them do? If Lisa is not handed over, Master Cavaliers will probably not allow them to continue renting the land, so the family will have to starve to death. Therefore, the Peggy family can only endure heartbreak, dress their cutest little daughter Lisa in beautiful dresses, and kill a chicken to cook for the knight master. When everything was almost ready, the crowd standing outside watching the excitement shouted:
"The village chief and the knight master are here together!"
Under various portrayals of adding fuel and vinegar, it hasn't been two hours before the new master knight has been upgraded from a monster to a demon. Even though the person who walked with the village chief did not look so scary from a distance, the villagers insisted that it was just a trick by the devil to confuse people.
Lisa was pushed to receive Master Knight. She was terrified, but she had nothing to do. Although Lord Reynolds was also terrifying, at least it was someone she had ever met, but the knight master who had been legendary by the villagers for two hours was obviously 10,000 times more terrifying than Lord Reynolds.
She could only bite her lip, lowered her head and walked forward, until she saw the knight’s horse hoof stop in front of her, and then began to recite what others had told her:
"Master Cavalier... I'm Lisa from Peggy's house. Master Reynolds asked me to accompany him before getting married. Now he is gone, they let me serve you..."
Lisa's blush was too bad, and she didn't know if it was because of nervousness or fear. Her voice was so small that she could hardly hear her. After speaking, she simply covered her face with her hands-no, she couldn't bear it, it was too difficult!
Alice, who was riding on a horse and listening to her saying these words, was completely stiff.
What are these people thinking!
She never thought that words like "the power of the first night" would have a relationship with her. In her opinion, after she drove Reynolds away, the people in the village should no longer be bound by this strange rule. However, Peggy’s family obviously believes that Reynolds’s escape does not mean that everything will develop in a good direction, but that they are about to usher in a more demanding master.
Alice thought she had seen the world, but she didn't know how to deal with this situation. Sure enough, the common sense of mercenary and knight is completely different, she still needs to adapt more. At this moment, she can only say in the softest voice:
"Ahem, Lisa, can you raise your head first?"
Lisa raised her head tremblingly, and saw a face that was obviously a woman. She was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react. At this moment, the old village chief who was riding on the back of the donkey waved his hand:
"What the **** are you fooling around! Didn't you see that Master Knight is a girl?"
