It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"How about two copper coins for all these? If not, I can go pick some more. I can climb trees very fast, so I can get them soon."

Two copper coins is a very cheap price for me.

One gold coin is worth one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is worth one hundred copper coins. In other words, one copper coin is worth about one dollar.

I glanced at Alayya and saw that all the money was on her.

Alayya searched for a long time and found that she didn't bring any copper coins with her.

I said calmly:

"Then give me two silver coins."

The little girl was startled.

Alayya handed me two silver coins without any hesitation, and I was about to put them in the little girl's pocket.

However, at this moment, a piece of earth flew towards me and knocked the money out of my hand.

Silver coins clinked to the ground, and everyone around looked over here, the heat in their eyes was self-evident.

A boy who was not much older than the little girl ran over angrily and grabbed the girl's arm. The little girl was forced to loosen the hem of her clothes, and the fruit in her pocket fell to the ground.

The young man glared at me and said angrily:

"Come on, sister, we don't want these bad guys' money."

Hmm?? What do you want to do??

Alayya, beat him up for me...wait.

I'll beat him later.

I always feel that there is something different about this person?

14. One day I will become a great magician!

I wasn't really that upset.

After all, I do look a bit like an unscrupulous young man who seduces little Lolita.

Instead, I moved my wrist and picked up the dirt that hit me. I crushed it gently and it turned into a magical mist that dissipated in the air. This was not real dirt, but dirt created by magic.

magic??

Magician? ?

This boy? ?

She is only about 11 or 12 years old? ?

Are you the magical boy who has protected Yuxi Castle for so long? It turns out that you are actually the chosen one? The protagonist? The predecessor of the hero?

No no no…that’s not right.

Impulsive.

Although at first I did have a feeling of "Wow, he seems to be a big shot", but if I look closely, his magic power is quite weak, probably not even at the first level of magic, belonging to the entry level. This is also a big problem with magic - it is too difficult to produce results. When I first got started, making a fire was more tiring than drilling wood to make fire, and throwing a clod of earth would make me pant.

Anyway, after confirming through eye contact, I know he is not the person I am looking for.

But magic is something that is difficult to learn without someone to teach you. If you don't find an experienced person to guide you, no one will know what the chants mean.

Are there still magicians in this city...

This child seems to be able to be used to obtain intelligence.

I put on a friendly look and said:

"kid……"

Before I could finish, the boy picked up a fruit and smashed it on my face, then stood in front of my sister and said angrily:

"What little kid? My name is Yama and I'm already twelve years old. I'm warning you, don't even think about hitting on my sister. She won't go with you. You guys are all bad guys. Don't talk to my sister."

Hey, you have quite a bad temper.

I shook my head and said to Alayya who drew her sword with a clang behind me:

"What are you doing? Do you still want to attack the children?"

Alaia said calmly:

"He hit the young master. I can't pretend I didn't see it."

After saying that, she held up her sword and walked towards the young man who called himself Yama.

I grabbed her collar and pulled her back:

"Okay, come back."

Alayya put the sword back into the sheath with a sullen look.

Yama gritted his teeth and took a few steps back, made a face at me, and cursed:

"Don't, don't think that this is the end of it! Master said that I will become a great magician in the future, and when that happens, I will drive all of you bad guys out!!"

As he said this, he took his sister's hand and ran away.

Becoming a great magician... Young man, don’t say such things casually, or you will not be able to find a girlfriend.

The little girl shed tears, pouted her lips and muttered:

“My fruit…”

Yama said angrily:

"Have you forgotten what those people did to Master? You are not allowed to talk to them. Even if we starve to death, die outside, or jump off Yuxi City, we would rather not take a single copper coin from them!"

Have some backbone?

I couldn't help but applaud him. When I saw the little girl looking at me, I smiled at her, made a "hush" gesture, picked up a silver coin and threw it over. The silver coin fell right into the little girl's hand. She was stunned for a moment. I pointed to the fruit on the ground and smiled at her.

The little girl glanced at her brother who didn't even look at her, and carefully put the silver coin into her pocket.

Girls are still the best.

Boys love to save face. Why bother? It's a shame to save face. We live on a bowl of rice and a jug of water, but we don't eat food given out of pity. If it were me, I would never leave like this. Although I vented my anger, these fruits were picked by others with great effort.

After all, he's still a naughty kid.

I smiled, picked up a fruit from the ground, wiped it on my clothes, and took a bite.

Damn, so sour!!

Give your money back! Hey! Stop, both of you!

15. Permanent peace is coming

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Alayya washed the wild fruits she brought back with water and ate them by herself with a crunch.

She is used to eating sour food, or rather, she eats everything and is not picky. She is definitely the type that is easy to feed.

"If I eat too much, I might get a stomachache?"

I asked.

Alaia answered seriously:

"This is a silver coin."

More of a miser than me.

As usual, Pierce came over with a bunch of fat guys in coarse cloth. He humbly bowed to me and said that he couldn't have good food tonight, so he invited me to a restaurant in the city to have a meal as a welcome. He would arrange two cooks to the city lord's mansion tomorrow, and then I would be responsible for my own meals.

Of course I don’t care. Aleyya can cook anyway, and I’m not a picky eater.

It just made me a little unhappy.

The restaurants in the city were not very good, the wine was sour, the food was tasteless, and there was little meat. I just took a few chopsticks to fill my stomach and that was it, while Alayya ate without wasting anything. What made me laugh was that the fat guys in front of me ate very little and then said they were full, obviously because they had a good meal before coming here.

I didn't say much about this matter. As I said, I want to see what they are going to do.

After dinner, Pierce said to me with a smile on his face:

"Master Lide, good news, very good news. Our city will soon be at peace, and the demons will never come again!"

Okay, you've managed to pique my interest.

I raised my eyebrows and asked:

"How could that be? Isn't this always a perfect place for them to make money?"

Pierce licked his lips and said:

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

What's the misunderstanding here?

It's like being cuckolded and still saying "Brother, don't misunderstand, it was my sister-in-law who took the initiative." The evidence is irrefutable, but you still say it's a misunderstanding. Are those demons who came here fake? Or is it that we, Yuxi City, are actually wrong?

You know what, Pierce actually said that.

他说:

"I have found out... The reason why the demons kept invading before was because there was a demon traitor hiding in our Yuxi City."

"Traitor from the demon clan?"

I had a face full of question marks and couldn't understand what he was saying.

Pierce took a sip of water and said seriously:

"Yes, Master Lide. Many years ago, the demon army invaded Yuxi City. At that time, many women were lucky... no, they were forced to marry the demon army. One of them happened to be pregnant, but she concealed it and gave birth to a daughter. Her daughter, who was half demon, stood on the side of humans and slaughtered her compatriots many times. It was simply unforgivable! The leader of the demon army was very angry, so he kept sending troops to harass Yuxi City... After we learned about this, we were very angry. We have brought the woman to justice and returned her to the demons. From now on, the demons will not harass us again!"

I was really stunned when I heard it.

Perhaps seeing my shocked expression, Pierce lowered his voice and said:

"And that woman is not a good person either. She has no feelings for humans at all. Think about it, if she had left Yuxi City earlier, the demons wouldn't have caused this much trouble. She just wanted to force herself to be tied to Yuxi City, and wanted to take the innocent people in this city to die with her!! Why keep such a person? If she is not of our race, her heart must be different. It is best to eliminate her as soon as possible. It is the best choice to return her to the demons in exchange for the peace of Yuxi City! Mr. Li De, don't worry about this. We have our own arrangements and guarantee that you will have a peaceful Yuxi City."

I tapped the table slowly.

After a long time, I looked at him.

"I want this Yuxi City to be peaceful, and I want me to be a hands-off manager. I can ignore other things."

Pierce bowed his head and said respectfully:

"I promise. I can guarantee it with my own life."

I nodded and called out:

"Alaiya."

Alayya stood up.

I said slowly:

"gone back."

Alayya looked at me in surprise, but still followed me.

When we were quite far away, I heard Pierce whisper to the person next to him:
