Chapter 20 The Atmosphere of Larante

When they went downstairs, many people lined up by the well. The servants of the big men got up before dawn and prepared. There were not many like Nana who came late.

Although the servants didn't know each other, there were a few people talking, but Nana was not interested in listening to these things. She just rubbed her hands. The weather was quite cold.

It is winter in the Demon King City, and the Blue River is also in the freezing period. Of course, it is impossible for humans to be too warm. It can be seen that the well water has frozen. The first person to fetch water is still smashing the ice with a wooden stick, but the ice is hard and has not been broken for so long, causing the people who fetch water to line up in a row behind.

Nana was also lined up behind, holding the bucket, waiting for the ice in the well in front to break.

"Hey! What are the ones in front doing? Why are they still slowing down?" A male servant couldn't help but ask in front.

"Sorry... this ice cube is a bit thick, I'll do it right away!" The answer was a girl's voice, which sounded very panicked and very young.

The servants here are both men and women. According to the owner's preferences, both men, servants and maids are very common.

Nana tilted her head and looked over there. She found that it was a maid about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was probably bought by her master. Her hands and arms were very thin and she didn't have enough strength. She held a wooden stick that was five or six meters long and couldn't break the ice at all.

But no one went up to help, and Nana didn't know why. Maybe there were some special rules, and the people behind him just waited impatiently and cursed from time to time.

Nana couldn't stand it, so she walked out of the line and came to the well: "I'll help you."

The anxious and sweaty girl looked up and found that she was a girl younger than her. Her face turned red and she was about to say something, but Nana took the wooden stick and poked it down. She heard a plop, and the ice cubes were broken and she could finally get water.

After doing this trivial matter, Nana stepped back and stood in the place she had just lined up.

Now she suddenly felt uncomfortable, because except for the little girl she helped, the servants around her looked at her.

After thanking her, the little girl was so embarrassed that she almost cried. She kept scanning Nana, wanting to speak but stopping.

But the person behind her used his eyes to urge her to fetch water quickly, so the servant girl took out a silver coin and handed it to Nana. She looked at her eyes and felt very distressed.

Nana scratched her head inexplicably: "Ah? Why are you giving money?"

"You don't want money?" The servant girl was even more surprised.

"Isn't it just a small effort? Is it necessary to pay for it?" Nana became even more strange.

The servant girl was stunned, and then moved to tears, but she quickly put away the money and started to fetch water.

Naturally, Nana didn't care about it, but the eyes around her looked at Nana more.

What happened next made Nana feel even more strange. The ice surface was broken, so the water intake naturally became faster. Everyone finished their own affairs quickly. Nana also carried a bucket of cold water to the first floor of the hotel. She also wanted to buy charcoal here, boil the water, and then brought it to her Demon Lord.

The things that servants have to do are always complicated, but fortunately Nana has long been used to it.

She used the money given by Lu En to buy charcoal in the hotel. It was close to the forest and the charcoal was very cheap, which made her a foreigner feel very good, but something was wrong next time.

At first, someone told her that she wanted some charcoal.

Because charcoal is not expensive, and the amount of borrowed is not large, Nana agreed.

Who knew that this time was out of control, and several people came to borrow it from her. At first, Nana felt inexplicable. Later, the girl was angry and no one came to borrow it. Anyway, can you repay it if you borrow it? They didn't know each other.

Afterwards, some maids came to cry pitifully, saying that something urgent happened suddenly, or for some other reason, and wanted Nana to help.

All of them are small things, such as helping to see the fire, and helping to get charcoal.

Nana was also helping, but she couldn't even get along with her own affairs. In the end, she politely declined these people and prepared to go upstairs with hot water.

Then as she went upstairs, her Investigation 1 played a role.

The thief girl clearly heard the person she helped just now talking behind her back.

A pair of maids were whispering: "Haha, do you know? I just had a kind and stupid country bumpkin who didn't charge any money for helping people!"

"You're just hearing it? I just used her a lot of benefits. I can take this charcoal home. Hehe, there's such a fool."

There was another male servant in the corner of the wall, who seemed to be complaining to another maid: "That person is so selfish! He has obviously helped others, why don't he help me? I have to see that she is from that room and let her make a good ugly!"

"That's right, she rejected me, but if she helped that stinky man, she might have fallen in love with him!"

There are quite a few such sounds in other places.

"This man is so selfish and narrow-minded that he doesn't even want to give me a piece of charcoal."

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet such a stupid person. Maybe I can get some benefits from her today~."

These words were clearly conveyed to Nana's ears.

The thief girl's face became bad, but after taking a look at the stairs, she ignored these words.

She was used to the gossip and didn't care about it. Although she was scolded for helping others, she was very unhappy, but now it was the time when the devil was about to show off her skills in this city, and Nana felt that she could not make trouble.

Revenge is not difficult. Of course, these ordinary people who don’t even have a professional level cannot be her opponent. Even if they just go down and slap them in the face, it will be considered a relief.

But after beating the servant, God knows whether it will attract the master on their heads? Maybe the master doesn't care and it doesn't matter at all. He will beat him if he beats him, but it may also be possible that the master will come to him and cause a lot of trouble to the devil.

"Oh, forget it, I'm used to it." She sighed. She had suffered a lot since she was a child, so don't make trouble because of such boring things.

Thinking of this, she carried the bucket of hot water and knocked on Lu En's door: "Master, I'm back with the water~."

The voice is as energetic as ever.

"The door is not locked." Lu En replied inside.

Nana pushed open the door and began to pour water and wash towels for Lu En. While doing things, she said to Lu En, who was looking out the window behind her, "Master, then let's go to that Hall of Glory today?"

"Yeah, let's go today, but have you ever encountered anything before that?"

Nana paused her hand washing the towel, and then smiled naturally and replied, "No, we have only been here for more than a day and have not known anyone, so how could we encounter something?"

"Yeah...is it?" Lu En fell into deep thought and stopped replying.
