They don't want me to work harder

But the vigilance in the villagers' eyes further dissipated.

They have never seen the nobles who help with farm work!

Zoe and Katyusha beside her also came to help, but Luna opened her mouth slightly, but stopped talking.

Richard noticed this and suddenly reacted.

Was he too arrogant just now?There must be nothing wrong with the two little girls. If Luna doesn't know the basics, will she talk nonsense everywhere?

But then he thought about it, it was okay to talk nonsense... He had already dueled with Linda, and anyone who was interested could guess his attitude towards standard fruits without investigating.

On the other hand, this company has gone too far. Even if some Connaught people claimed to support the standard fruit, no one would believe it.

But it’s better to give it a try...

Richard wiped his sweat and moved closer to Luna.

But before he could ask any questions, the other party spoke first: "I won't tell anyone what happened today."

"……I believe you."

Richard couldn't help but smile.

Luna added: "But I'm curious... As a prince, are you really not angry when David says that?"

After meeting each other for so many days, this was the first time that Luna spoke continuously for such a long time.

"of course it's true."

Richard answered naturally: "I think that kings and emperors should never do whatever they want. On the contrary, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Since you sit on the throne, it means that you have made some kind of contract with your subjects, and you should do your best." Protect your subjects.”

"If you don't do a good job, it's normal to be scolded. If it's more serious, if the king treats his subjects as pigs and dogs, and the subjects in turn treat the king as an enemy and kill them, that makes sense."

Richard clearly felt that Luna seemed stunned.

Ha, are you stunned now?I haven’t said anything about the people being more important than the king, or the little story about Charles I and Louis XVI after the rain!

But it’s not good to be too shocking, as it can easily lead to trouble.

He turned around and said: "Miss Luna, don't think too much, I just said it casually. When it comes to David specifically, I may just feel pity..."

Richard came to talk about sex, took a deep breath and said:

"Don't laugh at me, I am actually a soft-hearted guy with many ideas, idealism and overestimation of my abilities!"

"I am the prince of Connaught. I hope that the people of Connaught can live a happy life. After seeing Idaril and the Abaranian mountain people here, I also hope that they can all live a happy life... said After all, he is a soft persimmon who cannot bear to see suffering."

As a young man of four who had seen modern society in his previous life, this was Richard's instinctive thought.

Luna raised her head slightly: "...I thought you hated the empire."

"Haha, my heart is only as big as a fist, how can I hate thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and hundreds of millions of men and women? It will explode, okay?"

Richard shook his head and said: "Besides, I also have many people in the Empire whom I respect, such as my senior Tom, teacher Arnold, and St. Goethe's... um, senior sister Luvia."

Originally, Richard wanted to talk about the witch principal.

But when he saw Luna dressed as a nun and wielding a sword, he felt that talking about Luvia would resonate more with her, so he had an idea and changed his tune.

And this is not a lie. Although he has never met Luvia in real life, the sword master in the simulation did not hurt civilians and promoted the reform of the empire. It is quite admirable - ignore the primitive man in the first simulation. If you propose in a sap style.

But after Richard finished speaking, he saw the nun turning her head away.

This reaction...could it mean that Luna doesn't like Luvia?

Also, you can’t expect everyone to like Sword of the Empire. Tsk, it’s a waste of time to chat.

Richard quickly changed the topic:

"If I have to say what I hate, it would only be those guys who trample on human life and justice as nothing, whether they are Connaught people or Imperial people!"

Luna still didn't make any reply.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Richard chatted, thinking that the conversation was indeed a mess.

At this moment, Luna suddenly said: "...can we be considered friends now?"

This was so confusing that Richard scratched his head a little, but he still answered quickly:

"We already were!"

Richard was quite happy to accept this masked nun who helped him fight bandits and monsters and also had some foodie attributes.

Luna was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly held Richard's hand.

This time it was Richard's turn to be stunned.

Those hands were very soft and warm, not like a warrior's hands at all. They felt so comfortable to the touch that one couldn't help but...ah, no!Can't indulge in this!

"L-Miss Luna? What are you doing?"

The nun shook hands and said, "Thank you for your honesty. It has given me a lot of inspiration."

After saying that, she took the initiative to let go and stopped talking.

Richard was left confused...

in the afternoon.

Not wanting to walk at night in the woods, Richard proposed to stay in the village. David hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Everyone was arranged into a vacant house.

Late at night, Richard opened his eyes.

He heard a strange noise outside, summoned a sparrow, and cast a spell called Master-Servant Resonance on it - this allowed him to share the sparrow's vision and hearing within a certain range.

Then the sparrow flew out of the house, and sure enough, it saw David and three other young men behind the wall.

Only one person said: "Brother, were you so stunned by Prince Laoshi that you let them stay overnight? What if they were sent by Daniel to find out the news!"

Another younger, half-grown boy answered: "If you ask me, it's better to do it while they are asleep..."

Boom!

David hit the man on the head hard: "You have no brain, what are you thinking about!"

"You have killed so many fungus beasts and helped with the farm work. You have already done a favor to the village! Besides, to find out information... have you ever seen a noble spy who can bend down!"

He said in a deep voice: "I think he is different from other nobles."

"Tch, big brother, nobles are all the same!"

"Okay, I understand your worries. After all, we are bandits and they are officials...I will think of a reason tomorrow. Just send them down the mountain with gifts..."

The last person also echoed: "Brother, what you said makes sense. We can't repay kindness with hatred. We can just send him away before he finds anything."

Suddenly, a sound interrupted them.

I saw a woman running out holding a child who had thrown stones during the day, crying: "David! Come and see my son! His forehead is very hot, and he says he has a stomachache..."

As a man who has spanned half of the empire, David is naturally the most knowledgeable person in the village. He took the child and immediately frowned...

"Is the location of the pain in the right lower abdomen?" At this time, Richard walked out of the room and asked in a deep voice, "How does it hurt?"

For a moment, everyone's expressions were very exciting.

The young man from before jumped up: "When did you wake up? You heard what we just said!"

Does it matter?I already knew you were bandits!

Regardless of the awkward atmosphere, Richard walked up to the thin child, touched his forehead, and then touched his stomach, causing the child to scream in pain.

Well, I have a fever, abdominal pain, tight abdominal muscles, and vomit residue at the corner of my mouth... Oh my god, it can't be acute appendicitis, right?

The young man was anxious: "Don't touch him!"

"Don't get in the way."

Richard took out a bottle of healing potion from his pocket and gave the child a few drops to calm him temporarily.Then he said to the nervous David and others:

"The medicine used in the field is designed to heal trauma quickly, and it puts a lot of pressure on the body. This child is not a professional, and his body is weak, so he cannot bear it."

"I have to send him to the city so he can survive."

The air was quiet for a moment, except for the woman's sobs.

Several young adults stared wide-eyed: "You, you know our identities, who knows if you will call for soldiers..."

"It's not necessary. He just wants to kill one of us."

Finally, David opened his mouth. He pondered for a long time, and seemed to have finally figured out what was going on. He said to his companions: "Pack up your belongings and go hide in the mountains first."

"What about you, boss?"

"I'm staying here."

David turned to Richard and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. I did become a bandit... but the other people in the village are innocent."

"Ah."

"So, please save this child. I will stay in the village and wait for you. No matter what you want, I will never run away!"

Chapter 58 The corner of Nyon

Richard's attitude towards bandits has already changed.

In fact, at the beginning, he was just killing them, but he didn't hate the bandits very much - in the long run, the illegal armed forces in the empire were enemies of his enemies, equivalent to half friends.

Whether it's banditry or not, just say you can't fight against the empire, right?beat?Then I definitely support it!

If he hadn't been provoked on the way here, Richard wouldn't have bothered to take action.

After meeting David, his understanding of bandits deepened.

It is necessary to analyze specific issues in detail. The composition of bandits is complex. Some of them commit no crime and are not willing to pity their own death, but some of them are indeed righteous.

The latter was born out of deep-rooted contradictions. Although their activities broke out, they were supported by the local mountain people in the Abalanya region, and even had the intention of integrating.

In this case, as a Connaught man, as long as the opponent does not threaten him, why should he shout to kill?

What's more, considering David's special experience in detail, he felt a little sympathy...

So now, he replied: "I have given you a promise, how can I harm you?"

David breathed a sigh of relief: "I believe you..."
