Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"You...you...hand over the food you're holding, and go back to where you came from. This is not a place for you."

The three exchanged bewildered glances, their minds filled with even more confusion. What on earth was going on? These bandits seemed rather strange.

"I said, can't you guys have any professional ethics? Shouldn't you take the money and let us through? Why are you making us go back to where we came from?"

Lin Xueyin was the first to lose her temper. Forget those familiar bandit lines, why didn't they even let anyone walk? How could you do this to the ancestors of those bandits?

The man who was leading the group tightened his grip on the hoe, and seemed to be frightened. He took a small step back, but feeling somewhat embarrassed, he took two more steps forward.

He took a deep breath and said, "Hmph, I don't want your money. Just leave the food you have. The road ahead is blocked and dangerous, so don't go any further."

This strange statement made Lin Xueyin and the others frown even more.

"What happened up ahead? Why do you say it's dangerous up ahead?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. The problems ahead are serious, so don't go. Leave the food behind, and take the money back with you."

These highway robbers steal food, not money. They must have some unspeakable difficulties, and at least they are quite different from some bandits.

However, since I've encountered this situation, I might as well take care of it. Anyway, there's nothing urgent, so I might as well help Irabelle solve some problems.

"What exactly is the problem? Can you explain it to me properly? I am a priest and also a baron of the empire."

"Hmph, another parasite of the empire. What can you priests do besides bully others? So many people are dying from illness, and you all ran away in fear. You still have the nerve to mention barons and priests."

Being suddenly confronted like this left Lin Xueyin even more bewildered, as she was clearly innocent.

"Um, is there some misunderstanding? I just arrived here recently and haven't..."

"Leave your food and get out of here. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being impolite."

It seemed that they had some kind of aversion to pastors. After hearing Lin Xueyin say that she was a pastor, their attitude changed significantly, and they became even more resistant to them.

"Hey, Yukine was just trying to help. Even if you don't need it, you don't have to talk like that. Don't you even know basic manners?"

Orichalcos, on the contrary, began to stand up for Lin Xueyin. These people were really unreasonable. She was just asking and wanted to help. Did she owe them something?

"Help? No need. Just don't come here to rip us out. You still have the nerve to call yourself a help?" The crowd scoffed at Orichalcos's words and prepared to take action.

As for Maca, he coldly watched the situation unfold, saying, "In the end, it all comes down to violence. Since we've come here to rob, we should be prepared to die."

Huh? These murderous words made Lin Xueyin turn her head in shock and look at the princess of the Feather Clan. "They are just ordinary people. There's no need to be so ruthless."

A cold smile curved his lips as he equipped his Explosive Claws, his pair of pure white wings unfurled, assuming a posture ready for all-out battle.

“Girl, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but a strong person’s dignity cannot be desecrated.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared beside the "bandits," his claws creating a fierce gust of wind that knocked all the men to the ground.

Looking at the people groaning on the ground, Lin Xueyin was a little confused. However, she then heard Maca continuing to step on the man who had spoken ill of her earlier.

"Can we talk properly now?"

"You, you're actually a warrior... Ah... When we get back and see the Knight, we'll make you pay the price..."

"Still dare to be stubborn? I don't know where your knight is, but in the current situation, if you say another word that I don't want to hear, your head will be saying goodbye to your body."

The cold iron claws pressed against his neck, and the man immediately fell silent. His trembling silence made Lin Xueyin feel somewhat ashamed.

It's not that the other party was cowardly, but rather that I was foolish. In that situation, I could have easily resolved the problem by using force, but instead, I was thinking of reasoning with them. Sure enough, I haven't fully integrated into this world.

"Xueyin, you ask them. If anyone doesn't cooperate, just kill them. This world has no tolerance for the weak."

"Well, I've been lectured," Lin Xueyin said somewhat shyly as she approached the group.

"Now can you tell me what exactly happened up ahead? Remember to tell the truth."

Seeing the men looking at each other blankly, Lin Xueyin added another sentence, which made the men who had been beaten to the ground hang their heads dejectedly.

Happy New Year! 2019 has arrived so quickly. Before I knew it, I'd been writing for quite a while now. Thank you all so much for your support; I'm truly grateful.

First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! In 2019, I will continue to work hard on my writing, finish the book, and refuse to stop updating. O(∩_∩)O I hope my dear readers will continue to support me.

What? You mean women's clothing? Huh? No, it's windy here, I can't hear you...

Volume VI: The Rebellion in Panco: Chapter 3: Arya's Wound

"You better lead the way obediently, or I'll beat you up again."

Behind the men was a girl waving a tree branch and two women with expressions that said, "I don't want to know her."

However, even seeing the disgusted expressions on Olihirs and Maca's faces, Lin Xueyin still happily waved the soft branches at the men.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here right now, don't think you can get away with this."

"I'm telling you, Yukine, that's enough. They're just refugees after all. There's no need to be so ruthless."

After being brutally beaten, the group finally revealed the truth: they were civilians from Lamo County, not far ahead, where a plague had suddenly broken out, causing many to die on the spot, while the survivors were barely clinging to life.

Of course, there were also some people like them who escaped and became refugees. If they hadn't met a knight, they probably would have starved to death on the road long ago.

Speaking of the knight, these men were filled with admiration. She was able to selflessly help them, the refugees, and even use her money to buy medicine for them and treat some sick children. She was far better than those priests who came here and did nothing but act arrogantly.

"Hey, what kind of look is that? If you keep looking, I'll hit you."

Although Lin Xueyin said this, she did not make any move, but focused her attention on the not-so-high hill behind them.

It is said that this is where these refugees temporarily live. Although they had heard of refugees before, the people living under those bright flags had basically escaped the threat of that kind of life.

As long as you are willing to work hard, at least your life can be guaranteed. Therefore, she only understands by listening to or watching the actors' performances on TV or her phone.

As for the practice of exchanging children to eat, it only exists in books and is a concept in people's minds.

However, as she approached the location, Lin Xueyin's heart clenched. The scene was utterly devastating; Lin Xueyin could hardly believe she would be facing such a sight.

The dazzling splendor of the capital, the peace and tranquility of the dwarves, the sacred serenity of the winged race, and the elegance and serenity of the elves all seemed ironic at this moment.

The people, who were emaciated, were eating things they could hardly imagine. Eating dirt, which had once been a joke, had now become a reality.

"you....."

Olihirs had already taken the food out of her backpack and given it to some of the children who had hidden behind their families when they saw them.

He let out a long sigh. "Don't the imperial officials care about you? Even if you're refugees, aren't you still citizens of the empire?"

A man saw Olihirs and the others distributing food to the crowd and realized that although these people were not good people, they were different from the officials he had met before. So he stopped worrying about the injuries he had sustained earlier.

"You may not know this, but the empire sent a lot of pharmacists and priests. However, when faced with the plague in our county, they were all helpless. In the end, the empire had no choice but to seal off the entire county and prevent us from leaving."

"But you are not..."

"We...we sneaked out when they weren't looking, but even now that we've gotten here, we have nowhere else to go."

"Nowhere to go?" Lin Xueyin frowned, somewhat confused. Why would they have nowhere to go? Hadn't they already come out? Could it be that other places wouldn't let them in?

Seeing Lin Xueyin's confusion, the man pointed desperately to a little girl who was secretly hiding behind a girl who was only a few years older than her.

"The sisters' father, with his two daughters, was in a hurry to go to another county, but it was easily discovered that he came from our Lamo County, and he was shot dead on the spot by the guards..."

"Damn it, how could you do this?"

Orichalcos gently patted the girl's shoulder, offering bitter words of comfort to the furious young woman.

"No wonder they did it. No one could guarantee that these people who came out didn't have the plague. Under these circumstances, they had no choice but to do it."

Helplessly, this was the choice no one wanted to see. Lin Xueyin looked at the refugees in front of her and fell silent as well, because she could clearly see which of them had the plague.

Unfortunately, some of them did contract the plague, but the way it spread was strange and it didn't seem to affect others.

"You guys come here for a moment."

Perhaps because they had been distributing food, these people did not raise any further objections to Lin Xueyin and the others' requests. The dozen or so refugees who were called stood nervously in front of Lin Xueyin, watching the fleeting light in her hand fall on them.

"Alright, you can go back now."

Lin Xueyin was puzzled. Her healing technique had no effect, but the dispelling technique was effective. Could it be that what they had was not the plague?

"The knight is back! The knight is back!"

A joyful shout interrupted Lin Xueyin's thoughts, but she saw a familiar figure appear in her azure eyes, which then filled with rage.

"Aria, who hurt you?"

That's right, the person who came was Arya. Although she was wearing a full suit of armor, Lin Xueyin could still see from her demeanor that she was furious.

Seriously injured, that's right. Although it's not outwardly apparent, the girl was already at her limit. She probably came back because she was worried about these refugees.

"Snow, Yukine?"

"Let's catch up later when you're feeling better and in bed."

As she spoke, divine energy shot out and instantly enveloped the girl. Soon, amidst the worried gazes of the many refugees, Aria slowly appeared.

"Phew, really, Yukine, if it weren't for you, I'd probably be finished."

"Aria, I remember I gave you a lot of potions, right? Even if I'm not here, you won't be in any danger, will you? Or have you encountered a lot of danger before?"

Pouting, Lin Xueyin said, "Even if you're frugal, you can't risk your life." She still felt a bit resentful about this.

"Haha, it's not that I didn't have any medicine, it's just that I sold all of it to buy some supplies for them."

Volume 6, Pankor's Rebellion: Chapter 4, The Shot-Shot Supplies (Two chapters published together)

"Aria, who hurt you?"

In an instant, she healed Aria from her life-threatening injuries. Before Aria could even ask a question, Lin Xueyin spoke up first, her anger clearly audible to everyone.

"Yukine, what are you doing here?"

"Stop beating around the bush. Tell me now, who injured you?" The thought that if she hadn't coincidentally come here, Aria would have really died, made Lin Xueyin feel a pang of fear, and she could no longer suppress her anger.

"Yukine, I didn't..."

"Don't tell me you're fine. Do you think I'm blind? What happened just now?"

Lin Xueyin stared intently at the girl's somewhat guilty face. She could ignore other things, but she absolutely could not turn a blind eye to this matter.

"Actually, I didn't notice. The adults in the Gold Territory had already given me a lot of supplies, but on the way, I was robbed by some strange people. They even killed all the people escorting the supplies. If it weren't for protecting me, none of them would have escaped."

"So, those people stole all the supplies?"

Lin Xueyin frowned deeply. How could anyone dare to steal disaster relief supplies? Did these people have no humanity at all?

"Maca..."
