Chapter 17: Ngawang, whose name is easy to remember
Safiya was also quite surprised by the series of changes in Owens.
When she heard Russell's explanation, she was furious.
"You have magic, why didn't you use it in the battle last night?
What a stupid man to cause yourself to be so seriously injured!"
"This...I...oh, shit."
Once you tell a lie, you have to make up countless new lies. It’s so tiring.
Russell's whole body was in pain at the moment, and his head was not spinning so fast, so he could only say "fuck" in a perfunctory manner.
Seeing Drasel's weak appearance, Safiya felt a little distressed.
"But you were ambushed and injured just because you came to Noma Village with me.
I will take good care of you. If you get better soon, we have to go back to Uxhall."
After saying that, Safiya peeled off the skins of the grapes and fed them to Dresel.
"Isn't this the bunch of grapes I gave you in the village of Amashico?"
"Of course not! It would have broken if you left it there for so long. Oh my God, you are so stupid."
Safiya was amused by Drasel's words. She didn't expect that he, who was brave and good at fighting, would occasionally have such nonsensical humor.
"By the way, where am I lying?"
"We were at the village chief's house in Noma Village, and the village chief recognized you as the lord here." Safiya replied.
"Owens, call the village chief over."
Owens nodded respectfully, "As you command, my master."
Looking at the burly figure of Owens leaving, walking like a tiger and a tiger, Russell couldn't help but sigh,
This guy must be a little too strong after this upgrade. He will definitely be more reliable in the future.
About five minutes later, the village chief came.
"Hello, the noble Earl of Drasel, our lord, I am the village chief of Norma Village."
"Village Chief, I may need to rest at your home for another three to five days before I can recover enough to get out of bed and move around.
In the past few days, I have to trouble you to provide us with free food and drinking water, because I don’t have much money left.
Of course, in return, what can I do for you?"
"Earl de la Serre, you are the lord here, we should provide food and drinking water for free!
Our current living environment is pretty good, and Norma is relatively prosperous and wealthy, so we don’t need your help yet.”
While talking about this, Safiya suddenly had a good idea.
"Dressell, let's build a watchtower and a training ground here.
In this way, when enemy troops are coming, the watchtower can inform us in advance.
If we are in Uxhall in the future, we can come in advance to provide support.
As for the training ground, they can allow them to exercise on their own and be armed and strengthened to protect their homes."
Russell thought it sounded good, but shook his head.
"Safiya, your idea is very good. It can be said that it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
But we don’t have that much money, and it will definitely cost a lot to build watchtowers and training grounds.”
"Then go make money!"
"Oh, this doesn't mean you can make money..."
Just as Russell was about to retort, when the two of them were about to argue, the system suddenly turned on.
【New mission...】
Russell quickly responded in his mind:
Wait for the system, you damn don’t really want me to build a watchtower and a training ground, right?
【Don't interrupt.】
[New mission, build a watchtower and a training ground for Noma Village.]
[System prompt: A watchtower costs 1,000 dinars, and a training ground costs 1,000 dinars.]
After a moment of silence, Russell said:
"Safiya, you are right, let us work hard to make money to build a watchtower and a training ground."
Seeing that Russell listened to her words so much, Safiya felt warm in her heart and looked at him cutely.
"That's right, that's right. How much money do you think we need to make? I'll help too~"
"Well, I heard Owens tell me before that a watchtower cost about 1,500 dinars.
I estimate that a training ground would cost about 1,500 dinars, so we need 3,000."
[Reward: Wisdom 1.]
[Evaluation: It’s a pity that you don’t become a second-rate dealer.]
Russell laughed at the system in his mind and mocked: The middlemen make the difference, He Sian taught me, it's awesome.
【Who is this person you are talking about?】
It doesn't matter who he is, but I think he created you.
At this time, Owens came in again.
"My noble master, not far from Noma Village, I discovered a cave that is wide on the outside and deep on the inside."
"Oh haha? What happens next?"
"Well, nothing more. But I think there may be gold, silver and jewelry in it. It looks like a robber's den."
After Owens's deductions, Russell felt that it was very possible.
After all, this is a place frequented by forest bandits, so they should have a gathering point.
"Let our Kujit boy go do some reconnaissance. I guess he should have his own horse now."
"My master, you guessed it right. He may have brought a horse from the enemy last night."
After hearing this, Russell was very satisfied and nodded to Owens to make arrangements.
"Safiya, let's just wait here for news. If that cave is really rich,
We can use the gold, silver and jewelry from that cave to rebuild the Noma village, which is ill-gotten wealth anyway."
"Okay, okay, this can be considered as taking money from the people and using it for the people. They are also robbing farmers' money.
Now it's back to the farmers, it's just right. But Russell, I lied to you about something..."
Safiya suddenly pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful.
Russell also became a little nervous and asked uneasily: "What's going on?"
"The grapes you ate are indeed the ones from Amashico Village. They are several days old."
Damn it!
"You woman! You..."
When Russell was about to continue, his mouth was filled with grapes that Safiya had peeled...
It feels like murdering your husband before you get married.
That night, one of the Kugit horse archers under De La Serre came to the vicinity of the cave.
This Kujit cavalry archer, for the sake of easy memory, De La Serre called him "Awang".
The dim moonlight shone slightly through the slowly moving black clouds, appearing and disappearing.
The thick fog at night cannot be seen, and no pedestrians can be seen on the long and silent road. The footsteps behind me seem to be there but not there.
In this darkness, Awang's whole body felt cold and his scalp felt numb.
It was as if there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him from the front, back, left and right, and his body gradually curled up into a ball, not daring to stare into the darkness.
"Long live the Kugit Khanate! No, long live the Kingdom of Swadia!"
