Chapter 45: It’s Uncomfortable Not Being Able to Think of a Title
Translator: 549690339
Notch Village.
A noble’s carriage was parked at the village entrance. The tall red horse was being taken care of by two servants. Around the luxurious carriage stood several guards in silver armor.
Behind the noble carriage was another carriage.
However, this carriage was much more inferior. The horses were all inferior horses from the countryside, and the carriage was very simple. There was not even a roof, only a large piece of torn cloth.
If one were to describe it, it was more like transporting goods.
This was indeed the case.
Looking into the carriage behind him, he could see several country girls curled up with their arms around their knees.
They all had something in common. For example, although they had the rustic looks of the villagers, they were not bad looking. Their figures were shriveled because they had not eaten enough for a long time, but their outlines were still good. They were all potential stocks in the future.
Of course, there were also differences. For example, some of the little girls had fear on their faces, some had confusion on their faces, and some had yearning on their faces.
“Master Robert, you’re finally here! ”
At the entrance of the village chief’s house in Noki Village, the elderly village chief saw a middle-aged man in a butler’s uniform coming down from the noble’s carriage. He immediately went up to him with a fawning expression.
Of course, the village chief could also see that there was only one carriage behind the noble carriage. The shrewd village chief even secretly glanced into the carriage and realized that it was not fully loaded. It was more than half empty.
Hence…
“Master Robert, you…Why did you only buy so few people this year? Why don’t you… Pick again?”
“I’m not exaggerating, but the girls of our Nuo Qi village are much better than those from other villages! All of them were clever and diligent. They would definitely serve the nobles well after entering the city.”
The village chief patted his chest and swore to the butler opposite him.
However, the butler shook his head.
“Old Henry, it’s not that I don’t want to buy people, but the recent Fire Code City…Sigh, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Anyway, people who aren’t from the city are no longer allowed to enter and leave.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that my family’s young miss is at the age to go to school and urgently needs a group of maids to accompany her to the academy, I probably wouldn’t even come this year.”
“Alright then…Alright then.”
The Village Chief was a little disappointed. He did not care about what had happened in Fire Code City. He just wanted to send a few more girls from the village to the city.
Don’t misunderstand.
At least in these poor rural villages, being able to sell his daughter to the city was definitely something worth celebrating.
As for those little girls who were sold, they didn’t know whether they were themselves or not.
“Alright, Old Henry, quickly take that girl from before. I remember…Her name should be Vivian, right? Bring her over. I’m still in a hurry to go to the next village.
Robert could remember the names of a few country girls.
Vivian was one of them.
This butler from a big family in Fire Code City had a good impression of this little girl. After all, she was able to rely on herself to raise her young brother and her father who was addicted to alcohol and gambling. It was obvious that she was very capable and her character was definitely not bad.
The girls from other villages who were chosen to be bought were basically picked up by the guards. Only Vivian from Noki Village, Robert, personally came out to make the deal.
However…
The process didn’t seem to go well.
“This…” The old village chief looked troubled and stammered.
“What’s wrong?”
Butler Robert frowned upon seeing this. He valued Vivian very much and wanted to train this girl as his lady’s personal maid.
“Sigh, Master, you should go to Vivian’s house and ask. “The village chief shook his head and sighed regretfully.
When Robert arrived at Vivian’s house with a puzzled look on his face, he immediately knew that something had happened to the little girl when he saw the flustered look on Vivian’s father’s face. “An Lu! The daughter of your heart?
“Big… My lord, Vivian, she…”
Looking at the stammering An Lu, Robert slammed the table angrily.
“Speak!”
“Vivian, she…She went to the Dreadclaw Forest to pick herbs for her brother, and…He’s not back yet…” An Lu was shocked and his voice trembled.
“She’s alone? Leave the forest of the fear claw? Do you know that you’re courting death?”
Robert jumped up from his chair and pointed at the nose of the kneeling An Lu angrily.
From this, it could be seen that Vivian really had a big place in the butler’s heart.
After taking a deep breath, Robert asked with the last bit of hope,”
“When did she go?”
“Yesterday…yesterday…’
“You!” Robert wanted to pull out his knife and chop his bastard father into pieces.
“You willingly agreed to let your daughter go to the forest full of monsters alone for the sake of your youngest son, who was already beyond saving and about to die!?
“No, no, no. No, no, no, Ann… Andy can’t die, can’t die…He… He is my only son, my son!
Anlu shook his head frantically.
Andy is your son Vivian, isn’t it your daughter?”
“It’s different…Wu… Wuuuu… It was different…* ******
Perhaps it was because he had touched a sore spot, An Lu hugged his seriously ill and unconscious youngest son and cried.
It was obvious that in Anlu’s heart, ten Vivians would not be able to match up to one Andy. Or rather, ten daughters would not be able to match up to one son.
He no longer paid attention to his bastard father. After all, one couldn’t expect a remote and backward village to produce such a knowledgeable and cultured person.
In these rural villages, girls were naturally not valued.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so relaxed every year. Almost every family begged them to buy their daughters to enter the city to be servants for others.
No longer wailing and crying, Robert turned around and faced the silent man in a spellcaster’s robe who had been silently following behind him.
“Mr. Lake, do you think… If we send someone to search the Dreadclaw Forest…’
Butler Robert was halfway through his sentence when the Spell Caster shook his head.
‘ My men just asked around. This morning, two foreigners accepted An Lu’s request to go to the Dreadclaw Forest to find her daughter, but they haven’t returned yet.
“Foreigner? Just based on them…” The butler didn’t seem to have a good attitude towards the ” foreigner ” that Lake mentioned.
” No, Lord Robert, I want to follow you, say, the key is, now the fear claws of the forest, I’m afraid to be more than we imagine, the middle is. It’s much more dangerous. ”
The spellcaster named “Lake” sounded particularly solemn.
“What do you mean?”
“Earlier, I do not know if it was my imagination, but I seemed to have sensed an extremely evil aura erupting from the direction of the Dreadclaw Forest…’
“If it is possible, I suggest that Sir Robert set off now and return to Fire Code City.”
“This…
Butler Robert was about to ask if the problem was really that serious…
Suddenly!
A shrill scream came from outside the village entrance.
“Eat…Eating people!”
