Become a martial girl

Chapter 171 Inexplicable Resentment
When Mengdie saw the old woman, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her cheeks, stepped forward, clasped her hands together: "Hello, old woman. My name is Mengdie, and I am... a fighter. The three here They are my companions, Edward the swordsman, Hugh the mage, and Nia. We are from Luwell City."

The old lady shrank back in fear when she first saw Mengdie approaching.Mengdie noticed that her eyes were fixed on her ears and tail.But after she saw Mengdie's peerless appearance and those still hanging tears, the worry in her heart finally dissipated, and she coughed twice.

"Old man, are you all right?"

"It's all right. I'm sorry, little girl. Seeing you have a tail, we... When we see people with tails, we think of those brutal wolves... Oh no, it's all right now. Everyone! Don't worry Right! This little girl and her companions are from the royal city! They are soldiers who solve the wolf’s troubles for us!”

Mengdie said "ah?"Why did he become a wolf-slaying soldier if he didn't say a few words?But before she could explain, the gates of the surrounding houses opened one after another, and many civilians poured out of them, surrounding Mengdie and the other four.

"Soldiers?! Has His Majesty finally sent soldiers here?! Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Luwell Empire!"

"Hey, hey, don't be too happy. Is it really possible? This is only a team of four people, and half of them are women?"

"Damn! Hey, what's going on? Why did His Majesty send a team with only women and children? Are there no other more decent soldiers? Has His Majesty abandoned us?!"

"Hey! Old lady Gruma, you said that His Majesty would not give up on us, but why did His Majesty only send such a team? Say it! Say it——!"

"I'll just say it! How can you believe the words of the Plague family? Smelly old woman, you are so happy for killing me! How are you going to compensate me!"

It's just that in a flash, these villagers suddenly pointed their finger at the old lady who was talking to Mengdie just now.Granny Gruma leaned on her cane tremblingly, standing in the middle of the villagers with a timid expression, enduring the anger and disappointment of the crowd.

Such a scene made Mengdie very puzzled, but seeing the old woman alone bearing the scolding of the crowd, she couldn't bear it, she hurriedly separated from the crowd to block in front of the old woman, and opened her arms.

"Everyone! Can you please calm down for now? This is not the old man's fault!"

It would be better if Mengdie didn't persuade, this persuasion, on the contrary, incited the emotions of everyone around even more!

"Woman! This is our village's business! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are beautiful!"

"That's right! It's all this stinky old woman! The plague was spread from her house in the past, and now the wolves are coming, it must be caused by this old witch!"

The accusations of the crowd became more harsh and explicit. Their fingers were full of hostility and pointed at the old woman. Their vicious eyes did not seem to be looking at a villager in the same village as them, but more like looking at the source of a disease. Sin root!

The accusations became louder and louder, and the old lady Gruma stood behind Mengdie, leaning on a cane, and her slightly thin body became even more rickety.Seeing that something was wrong, Edward, Xio, and Nia also squeezed in to protect the old man, but no matter what they said or tried to dissuade, the accusations around them still showed no signs of weakening.Finally, someone in the crowd began to pick up stones on the ground and threw them at Gruma!
With sharp eyes, Mengdie grabbed the stone that was flying towards Gruma.With a little force in her hand, the hard stone immediately turned into dust under her strange strength.Seeing this scene, the crowd finally fell silent.

"Everyone! Why do you bother an old man?!"

"Fox girl! Then we ask you, what are you doing in our village? Are you here to slaughter wolves?!"

Mengdie lowered her head and thought carefully.In the end, she shook her head lightly: "I'm sorry, we're not here to slaughter wolves. We're here to find something..."

"Soldiers who are not wolf slaughterers, why do you come to our village? I still want to be like last time, boasting that Haikou will definitely be able to kill wolves, eating and drinking here, but in the end the whole army was wiped out, and was killed by the "blue devil" Is there no one left after killing?! I don’t trust you, and our village doesn’t trust you!!!”

The crowd responded, and these villagers had completely lost their minds due to being forced to immerse themselves in the fear of wolf attacks for a long time.They are crazy, irritable, and full of despair.Day after day of death tortured their nerves, making them wonder if the next one to enter the belly of the wolf and be bitten to pieces...would be themselves?

Finally, the crowd tormented by the night of hell began to riot.They picked up stones from the ground one after another and threw them at Mengdie and the others!Even if Mengdie had already clenched his fists, Xio had raised his staff, and Edward had raised his giant sword, there was no guarantee that he would be able to escape all the rock attacks.Seeing that everyone was about to be hit by stones...

"Everyone, cough...please wait a moment."

A stone was about to hit Mengdie, and she even took a fighting pose.But at this moment, a very soft voice suddenly came from a distance!I saw a flash of yellow light, and those stones flying in the air seemed to be stuck in the air, and they were suspended in the air without moving!Mengdie saw it clearly. After spending a few days with Sasara, she recognized at first sight that the stones were stopped by nothing but——

"Divine magic power! And... what a powerful power!"

The stones suspended in the air brought a mysterious sense of oppression to these unsuspecting villagers.The villagers who faced the direction of the voice stepped aside one after another.I saw an old priest about 70 years old standing in front of the crowd with a haggard face.At the bottom of his feet, there is an extremely dazzling shield-shaped magic circle.

"Master Sage?"

"The great sage—Master Cotton!"

"Master Cotton, why did you come out? Please rest well!"
