Villain Lord: Both The Player And The Protagonist Want To Kill Me

"Why don't you ask for a priest?"

Xiwei felt stupid as soon as he asked this question.

Xiaopang looked at Xiwei with strange eyes and hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"Lord, have you forgotten? You killed all the priests...and even if the priests are still alive, we can't afford them. It costs a hundred gold coins to hire a priest to perform a healing spell."

"They never thought about using healing magic on us."

Hearing this, Xiwei touched his nose in embarrassment. Those priests were useless. His idea at the time was very simple.

These priests were unwilling to serve the common people, let alone treat Loli, and even despised him as a lord.

Might as well send these sheepdogs to meet their gods.

"In this case, I will accompany you to buy medicine now. After buying the medicine, you take me to your home."

"As a lord, since it was my knight who made a mistake, I must take care of it."

Xiaopang's eyes widened in disbelief. He was so fat that his eyes were narrowed to a slit, but now Xiwei could actually see his eyeballs.

"Are you really going to help us?"

Xiwei nodded affirmatively.

…

There is only one medicine shop in the entire Winter City, and almost everyone who is sick or injured will come here to buy medicine.

The priest's healing skills are something that only nobles can afford, but of course, nobles can't enjoy them now.

The owner of the drug store is an old man with gray hair. His face looks weathered, gray and rough, and covered with deep wrinkles.

But in contrast, the old man's eyes were very bright.

According to Xiaopang, this old man who made a living by selling herbs was once an alchemist, but his magic source was shattered and he could no longer make magic potions.

But Xiwei noticed that the old man's palms and wrists were covered with thick calluses, and secretly speculated that the old man's identity might not be that simple.

"Grandpa Parker, I want to buy some herbs to treat trauma."

The little fat man ran to the old man's medicine shop and said nervously.

This is not the first time he has come to the old man's drug store to buy medicine. He has been there several times before to buy medicine for his father's injuries.

He had always been a little afraid of this old man with bright eyes. Under those eagle-like eyes, he always felt like he had nowhere to hide.

Old Parker had already noticed the two people walking straight towards him. He looked at Xiwei up and down and recognized Xiwei's identity at a glance.

"Good day, my lord."

Xiwei nodded to Old Parker and said nothing.

Old Parker saluted Xiwei in a neither humble nor condescending manner, then looked at the chubby little man who was no taller than the table, and said with a smile:

"It's Aubrey. It feels like you've gained weight again? What happened to your father this time? Was he injured again because he went to get you game?"

Xiaopang looked down when he heard this. He shook his head and his voice was choked:

"Grandpa Parker, my father can no longer get game for me because he died in the battle three days ago."

Old Parker looked surprised after hearing Xiaopang's words. His smile gradually faded, and then regret flashed in his eyes.

He quite liked the boy who occasionally brought him a glass of sour beer, but he didn't expect that he would never see him again after not seeing him for a while.

"I'm sorry, Aubrey, I..."

"Grandpa Parker, my father is a glorious warrior. I am proud of him, and I will be like him in the future."

Xiaopang shook his head, sniffed, and continued: "This time I'm here to get medicine for my mother. She was injured by a bad guy."

Old Parker did not continue to ask Xiaopang's mother why she was injured. He just turned around silently and looked for herbs that could treat trauma.

For the injured person, every meaningless inquiry is a torture for the injured person.

Unless you can help them solve their problem.

"Here, Aubrey, this is the styptic grass, and this is the star grass. I've divided the portions for you. Take them back and boil them in a pot for an hour before giving them to your mother."

Old Parker quickly packed the two packages of herbs and put them in Xiaopang's hand. Suddenly, he touched Xiaopang's round head and said with complicated eyes:

"You must grow up healthy... protect your mother for your father."

The little fat man nodded obediently when he heard this, and then took out a dozen copper coins from his pocket.

He counted them carefully, took two out, and put the rest in the dustpan on the old man's table.

Of course, the money was not enough to buy these herbal medicines, but Old Parker didn't say anything. He didn't open the drug store to make money in the first place.

He took a copper coin from the dustpan with a smile, returned the rest to Xiaopang, waved his hand and said, "That's enough."

After saying goodbye to Old Parker, Xiwei, led by Fatty, walked in zigzags for a long time before arriving at a low tiled house in the outer city.

This is Xiaopang’s home.

Xi Wei was a little confused. Although the salary of sword and shield soldiers was not as high as that of knights, they would not live in such a simple place.

"Mother, I'm back."

Xiaopang knocked on the door, and a woman's weak voice came from the room.

"Ahem—Aubrey is back? Open the door yourself. It's not easy for Mom to walk now."

Xiwei did not follow Xiaopang into the house immediately. He waited until Xiaopang came out of the house again to wave him in, then he followed him in.

As soon as I entered the room, I was greeted by a strong smell of herbs mixed with the fishy smell of suppurating and inflamed wounds.

With the dim light, Xiwei could see a thin woman lying on her side on the bed. She looked very haggard and tired.

Xiaopang had already told the woman the ins and outs of Xi Wei's arrival, but she still looked a little frightened and struggled to sit up from the bed.

"Lord, common woman..."

"Just lie down and talk. You don't have to see anyone. This is an order."

Xiwei stretched out his hand and gently pressed the woman back, and a trace of fighting spirit was also explored in the woman's body.

Xiwei couldn't help but frown. Xiaopang's mother not only suffered from trauma, but she also suffered from severe lung disease.

This can explain why the place they live in is so bad. It is estimated that the remuneration of Xiaochuang's father was used to treat his wife's illness.

Even priests have no way to cure this disease and can only baptize them with holy water condensed by faith.

But in Winter City, a borderland, where can I get holy water? It is a precious resource that only the royal capital has.

But it's not completely impossible, Xi Wei had a hunch.

When Loli was comprehending yesterday, the ability corresponding to the aura emanating from her body could definitely solve the current problem.

It seems that I have to hurry up and take the little maid to wake up when I go back.

Xiwei didn't say any more useless nonsense and went straight to the point and asked:

"It is said that your pension was robbed by a group of people, and there are knights behind this group of people?"

The woman nodded sadly when she heard this, and tears immediately came out. She cried sadly:

"...Lord, can you help us? It's Bolt's group. They are rogues from the outer city. They usually make a living by collecting protection fees."

"Not long after the knight who sent me the pension that day left, they came up, took away the pension, and beat me like this, woo woo..."

"They also said that you can seek revenge on them at any time. There are knights and lords behind them..."

"Asshole!"

Upon hearing this, Xiwei was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead and he clenched his fists.

Not only did these bitches do all kinds of evil, but they also did it in his name?

He would like to see who the knight behind these rogues is. If there is such a person, then this person will definitely receive the harshest punishment.
