Reinhardt! You came just in time! We just wanted to thank you properly!"
Village chief Gale quickly came over to express his gratitude.
"Village Chief, you're welcome. As a member of the Knights, it is my duty to protect the people of the Cube Kingdom!"
Reinhard waved his hand and said with a calm look on his face.
"You can't say that! If you hadn't repelled the zombie army, our Carlo Village might have disappeared!"
"Dealing with those monsters is just a matter of effort, no big deal."
Reinhard looked relaxed, as if killing dozens of zombies was as easy as drinking water for him.
Lu Li was lying on the bed. When he heard this, he almost fainted.
"Ahem..."
He coughed twice, interrupting the conversation between Reinhard and the village chief.
"By the way, I almost forgot. Steve would like to introduce to you. This is Mr. Reinhardt of the Knights. He was the one who saved you last night. Thank you very much."
The village chief took Reinhard and introduced him to Lu Li.
Lu Li stared at Reinhard with an indescribably strange expression on his face.
You want to thank him yourself? You’re kidding!
Now he wanted to rush up and punch this guy in the face.
"Hello, kid, my name is Reinhardt, are you okay?"
Reinhard extended his hand to Lu Li as a gesture of friendship.
He had a kind smile on his face and looked approachable.
Lu Li didn't feel it at all.
He looked at Reinhard's face and felt a little nauseous.
If possible, he would like to expose this hypocritical guy in front of everyone.
However, Lu Li felt that these ignorant villagers would most likely not believe him.
After all, in their eyes, Lu Li is just a child.
How can you believe what a child says?
Furthermore, Lu Li could not guarantee that after exposing Reinhardt, the other party would become angry and kill him.
It may even affect the entire village.
Lu Li wasn't sure yet about killing the guy in front of him.
You know, everyone in the Royal City Knights is a master of fighting.
If he had the same equipment, Lu Li might be able to fight the opponent a few times.
Technically, Lu Li is confident that he can defeat his opponent.
But in terms of equipment and physical fitness, Lu Li was much worse.
That piece of armor was enough to give Lu Li a headache.
My current attack is like scraping the opponent's body.
All in all, the current Lu Li will definitely lose against Reinhard.
Reinhard's hand was stretched out in the air for a long time, but Lu Li had no intention of paying attention to him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward.
"Uh... Mr. Reinhardt, please don't be angry. Children are not sensible, so don't argue with them."
The village chief quickly came out and explained.
Reinhard frowned slightly.
What's wrong with this civilian kid? He dares not even give him his own face?
Doesn't he know the reputation of the Royal City Knights?
I think so in my heart, but my mouth says something else.
"It's okay, village chief. I think this kid was frightened and didn't mean it. Let's go out and let him have a good rest."
Reinhard pretended to be generous and said with a smile.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding villagers had a better impression of Reinhard.
The group of people surrounded Reinhard and left the house.
Mother Tiqi said a few words and left together.
Lu Li was lying on the bed alone, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He endured the pain and climbed out of bed.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a conversation about myself.
"This Steve is going too far. Mr. Reinhardt saved him and he didn't even say thank you!"
"Yes, Mrs. Tiqi is so kind, how could she have such a bad son!"
Two villagers squatted at the door, complaining angrily on Reinhard's behalf.
They originally wanted to leave with Reinhard, but the village chief asked them to stay here and watch Lu Li.
The two of them felt somewhat unhappy and began to complain.
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you. That boy is studying in the royal city. Be careful of him taking revenge on you."
"What are you afraid of? That boy must be asleep and can't hear us."
A villager said disapprovingly.
"Hey, I don't know what kind of bad luck his family got. He actually made all the important people in the royal city owe favors and got the opportunity to go to school in the royal city."
Another villager said with some envy.
"But I heard that kid sleeps all day long in school, and he seems to be expelled soon!"
"You deserve it, you don't cherish such a good opportunity!"
"What's so great about going to school in the royal city! In the end, you have to come back and farm with us!"
…
Lu Li stood behind the door, clenching his fists involuntarily, and then quickly unclenching them.
Forget it, there is no need to be familiar with these villagers.
They are just a bunch of ignorant fools.
And Lu Li is the one who wants to change the world!
Lu Li deliberately coughed twice and slowly opened the door.
The two people outside the door looked nervous and a little panicked.
"Please help me tell the village chief that I'm going home first."
Before the two of them could answer, Lu Li strode away.
I was originally planning to go outside to chop down trees last night, but I was too busy fighting monsters to delay it.
After making sure that no one was following him, Lu Li changed direction and walked towards the place where he fainted last night.
The fence was covered with zombie teeth marks and looked dilapidated.
There was no one around, so Lu Li quietly climbed over the fence and arrived outside the village.
When he reached the entrance of the forest, Lu Li stopped.
This is just an ordinary forest, not even the outskirts of the misty forest.
Usually there are only a few sporadic monsters at most.
I don’t know what happened last night, but a large group of zombies suddenly appeared.
Lu Li was still a little scared when he thought about the giant zombie last night.
Even Reinhardt might not be able to resist that kind of existence.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, you must seize the time, get it done before the sun goes down, and leave here.
Lu Li walked into the forest and the light immediately dimmed.
Fortunately, it's not dark yet and the view is still clear.
He took out a torch and stuck it on the ground.
This is a habit developed over many years of playing games. As long as there is enough light nearby, monsters will not spawn.
Lu Li took out his last remaining ax and started chopping down the tree.
After cutting down a few logs, the ax's durability ran out.
Fortunately, Lu Li already had a workbench, and he made another axe.
The trees in this forest are mostly spruce, tall and strong.
Sometimes, while Lu Li was chopping, he couldn't reach the upper tree trunks.
This made Lu Li, who was in the advanced stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder, very uncomfortable.
But right now, time is tight and I can’t take care of that much.
Lu Li had a sudden idea and applied his fighting skills to chopping down trees.
Unexpectedly, it actually achieved unexpected results.
The wood that originally took several minutes to cut now takes much less time and becomes more labor-saving.
Lu Li chopped down most of the logs before he stopped.
This much wood should be enough for him to use for a while.
