Talk about a pure love in the illustrated book world

For the rest of the journey, the cautious Neil almost kept vigilant about his surroundings, for fear that at some point, that woman named Eleanor would bring a bunch of monsters from the grass and kill them, looting the people in the caravan. empty.

But his vigilance was basically useless, and only when dealing with those goblins who did not give up after a lesson and secretly set traps on the road ahead of the caravan, Neil's reaction was a little faster some.

This made him feel a little puzzled, is that woman really just passing by?

Have you been wrestling with the air all this time? ?

No matter what Neil was thinking, after teaching those lingering goblins a lesson several times, the entire caravan finally arrived at Lavya Village, which was a temporary resting place, without any danger.

Seeing the fence at the entrance of the village and the guards on guard, the people on the caravan couldn't help showing relaxed expressions.

Although resting in the village for one night will delay the caravan's itinerary, it can relatively refresh people's spirits and keep them in good shape.

Therefore, even if it is likely to slow down the day, most merchants will choose to rest for a while in the nearby villages on the way to avoid being attacked when they are mentally exhausted.

After all, people's energy is limited, and you still have to be vigilant during the short rest time in the wild, and the nerves that are always tense will last for about two days at most.

There are too many examples of people and goods disappearing due to temporary greed.

Especially Neil, who hadn't slept well since last night, and his nerves have been tense all the time. He was afraid that a ghost would jump out of nowhere, and he felt even more exhausted.

After Harrington, the leader, negotiated with the guards for a while, and then checked the goods and personnel on the carriage, the entire caravan also entered the village.

Due to the large number of merchants and adventurers in this world, even an ordinary small village has hotels for people to rest and sleep.

After the coachmen led the carriages around to the stables behind the hotel, Neil and the others also entered the second floor of the hotel with their personal luggage.

"Phew - it's much more comfortable."

The soft bed under his body made Nilton feel comfortable, stretched on it, and lay on it like a salted fish.

Harvey, who was in the same room as him, rarely said anything to Neil, and leaned on the soft pillow with a relaxed expression on his face, too lazy to waste words with him.

He hasn't recovered from being killed in the arms of big brother Brin before, and he is also exhausted to death.

After the two of them lay motionless on the bed for more than an hour, Neil, who regained some energy, got up from the bed.

It's just approaching dusk now, if I sleep more, I won't be able to fall asleep at night. In that case, it's almost the same as my previous life where I didn't wake up during the day and didn't sleep at night.

"Harvey, go out for a walk?"

Because there were already villagers serving as guards in the village, the merchants didn't plan to let these guards have to stay in the hotel all the time, which was considered a small vacation for them.

"No, I'll rest for a while, and call me when I'm done eating..."

Harvey, who was awakened by Neil's words, turned lazily on the bed, and then went back to sleep.

Seeing his appearance, Neil couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. The déjà vu reminded him of the conversation with his roommate in the university dormitory.

"There is no class in the afternoon, do you want to play around?"

"No, Grandpa needs to sleep well, and bring me a barbecue when I come back."

"Call Dad."

"father."

"Gan!"

Neil couldn't help shaking his head, walked out of the room, and closed the door for Harvey by the way.

"Hey, Neil, how about you, come and have a drink with us?"

When he went downstairs, Motley was sitting in the lobby of the hotel drinking with a few businessmen, and his face couldn't help feeling tired from traveling like them, but turned rosy from alcohol Not a lot.

And Harrington also raised the wooden cup filled with orange-yellow liquid, and shook it towards Neil.

"Forget it, I'm too early for drinking."

As Neil walked down the stairs, he shook his head and refused with a smile.

Since his last life, he didn't like drinking very much. In comparison, he still prefers drinks like Coke or Sprite.

Because he was the only one in the whole dormitory who had passed the driver's license test, so when he went out to eat, he drove a bunch of drunks back, and naturally there was no chance to drink.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I drank the happy water of Fat House......

Seeing Neil's refusal, Harrington didn't force it anymore. After all, he also knew that Neil was also the heir of the nobles, and if he got into their bad habits, the lord would punish him after returning.

Motley, on the other hand, seemed a little displeased with this. After all, as a mercenary, eating and drinking in a tavern and bragging about b can be said to be a great pleasure.

However, his dissatisfaction was quickly dispelled by the lively atmosphere of their chat, and he re-invested in fighting with the businessmen.

Seeing their growing excitement, the villagers who were eating around shook their heads helplessly, and Neil couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and walked out of the noisy hotel.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and the faint light of the setting sun made the whole sky glow red, and the bright stars embellished the oil painting-like sky with dazzling brilliance like bright pink.

Seeing the villagers carrying hoes in the field talking and laughing as they walked back home along the dirt road, Neil stretched his waist and took a deep breath of the fresh air.

It feels a bit like returning to my hometown in the countryside before.

He wandered along the path of the village, while walking, watching the lights from the windows of the houses, enjoying this leisurely moment.

"Hey, little guest officer, do you want to take a look at our products?"

The enthusiastic yelling made Neil stop in his tracks, and looked at the brown-haired girl who was waving to him.

She was sitting on a small saddle right now, and beside her was a box with straps, which was full of various sundries.

In front of her, a large cloth was spread on the ground, and various items were neatly placed on it.

This appearance made Neil feel a sense of intimacy in his heart, as if he went out to visit the night market at night in his previous life.

So he, who was also wandering around, walked over and looked at her things on the ground with interest.

Most of them are all kinds of beautiful trinkets, and a small number of things that seem to be crops, and there are even a few weapons among them.

Seeing Neil's gaze resting on the pile of weapons, the brown-haired girl blinked her eyes full of agility, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"Is this little guest officer an adventurer? Then you must take a look at our weapons. They are all of high quality and very practical."

She deftly picked up a short knife covered in brown leather from the box, and pulled it out of the sheath.

"Little guest officer, take a look, tsk tsk, this sharpness, this gloss, you can't find it in the weapon shops in ordinary towns."

"That is, you and I met by fate, so I took it out to show you. If it were an ordinary person, I would be reluctant to tell him."

"There are also these daggers on the ground, the quality is particularly good, whether it is camping in the wild or at home, they are all-purpose knives, even if they are not well maintained, they can be used for at least 5 years. If you have this one, you don't need anything else. gone."

She enthusiastically picked up one of the daggers, shaking it in her hand, so that Neil could clearly see the silver light shining on it.

"Two days ago, an adventurer came to buy my dagger, and after returning, his companions asked where he bought it, and then ran to me and bought several at once. Even the housewives in the village asked me Joined in the fun, bought it back and used it as kitchen utensils, and made it fun for the family."

"No, there are only a few of these left in total, so you are really lucky, little guest officer, if it is a little later, maybe all of them will be sold out."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in this village to see if what I said is true or not."

Her chattering appearance caused black lines to appear on Neil's forehead, which almost aroused the social fear he had in his previous life when he faced all kinds of over-enthusiastic waiters.

But he really wanted to buy an extra weapon to replace his sickle.

Apart from the funeral blade, Neil only has the weapon that he found from the ruins, but that weapon is even more recognizable than the funeral blade, so he can't use it all the time.

but......

"Little guest officer? Are you from Dongpu or the Continent of Fog?"

Merchants on the continent of Kos would not call their customers guest officials.

"Hey, the little guest officer is really sharp."

The girl couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said in surprise.

"That's right, I'm a traveling merchant from Japan, but most people don't care about the difference in my address at all. You are so smart, little guest officer."

She nodded, and did not forget to give Neil a lift as she spoke.

And Neil, who confirmed that the other party was a businessman from Japan, also saw some prominent features in her.

For example, the clothing was a bit like a Taoist robe, and there were white foot bags and clogs on her two feet, because she was wearing a thick coat, but Neil hadn't been able to see it before.

"Meeting is fate. My name is Guxiang Jun. I am a businessman who is traveling around. How about making friends?"

She said with a smile, and stretched out her white palm to Neil, and he also stretched out his hand, holding Gu Xiangjun's fingers, shaking it slightly.

"Neil, an adventurer on a journey."

Feeling the warmth coming from only the fingers, Jun Gogo rolled his eyes slightly, but still said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Neil, hello, hello, it's really amazing to come out at this age."

"It's nothing. There are many people who came out younger than me to make a living."

Neil subconsciously glanced at the ornaments and crops again, frowned, but soon pretended to be nonchalant.

Dongying, selling goods, traveling merchants...

"Boss, I think your two daggers are really good, but can you give me a discount?"

His words made Guxiang Jun's face collapse immediately.

"Guest Neil, I'm still a small business, so it's too much to haggle when I first met?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask you a question, and I won't give you less money."

Neil's smile faded away.

"Boss, are you actually a monster?"

Volume 19 Journey to Borowy: Chapter 19 Chapter [-] Church

Hearing Neil's question, Jun Gogo asked with a smile.

"Guest Neil, don't worry too much. I'm just an ordinary traveling businessman. How can I be a monster?"

"Jingbu Tanuki... Am I right?"

Neil folded his hands on his chest, looked at Jun Guxiang and frowned, and said slowly.

"The things above you are all crops produced in the devil world, right? That peach-like fruit is the fruit of the captive, right? To be honest, because I have never seen the real thing before, I didn't react when I saw it for the first time. .”

"Let me guess, these accessories are also made of materials from the devil world, right? The magic power contained in them will either make men be targeted by specific monsters, or make women transform into monsters unconsciously?"

Under Neil's words, Jun Gogo's complexion also became ugly.

"Officer Neil's vision is really good, he knows so much."

Although Neil in front of him is just a child, he should have no problem whether he fights or flees, but if he calls the villagers and other adventurers, he will be in trouble.

With a smile on her face, she asked tentatively.

"So what does Officer Neil plan to do after he finds out? Should he report it to the church? Or should he kill me, a monster, on the spot?"

"That doesn't matter, what about the customer?"

Neil waved his hands a little irritably, which made Guxiang Jun's expression stunned.

"customer?"

"What about the customers in the village? Those who bought your things, are they all in this village? How many are there in total? Or are they all there?"

Even if it is just an ordinary fruit in the devil world, it has a certain amount of magic power, and it will be eroded by the magic power of the monster if it is eaten frequently.

Things like the fruit of the captive or the fruit of the lick will make human women become dependent unconsciously, and transform into monsters such as succubus or secondary succubus in the process of eating.

And close-fitting objects such as jewelry will also slowly release the magic power contained in them, and then erode their owners.

If there were too many of them, he would have to tell other people to stay away overnight. Maybe a lot of monsters would appear in the village tonight, and then the monsters from outside the village would also rush in and turn the entire village into monsters.

"Huh? Customer? I just got here this afternoon, and I haven't had time to sell it yet?"

Guxiang Jun replied in a daze, making Neil's eyes widen suddenly.

"What!?"

"Didn't you just say that several daggers have been sold in the past two days!? Didn't you ask me to ask the housewives in the village!?"

Neil's question made Guxiang Jun turn his head silently, muttering.

"Isn't that a little exaggeration when attracting customers..."

Neilton slapped his forehead with a slap and sighed.

"So...you just came to Lavya Village this afternoon, just set up your stall, and then you met me, the first customer?"

"Yes, yes, so we are really destined."
