The town of Rigikan.

It is located at the border between the Kingdom of Faga and the Papal State of Marey.

Although it is a town, the town of Regikan at this time is as dilapidated as a wilderness mountain village.

There was hardly a soul on the street.

"It's a far cry from Camber."

Shul kicked away the rotten wooden board on the ground and said.

Campbell Town is the closest Batoria town to Danger City. Objectively speaking, it is indeed much better than the "white land" in front of it.

"Kid, it's time to restock. I'm starving. Let's see if there's a tavern or something like that in this damn place... Never mind. It looks like there won't be any. Let's just find one and ask for some food."

"Boy?"

Seeing that Moon seemed not to have heard him and was walking in a certain direction, Shuer spat and followed him.

Moon stopped in front of a demolished building.

"church?"

Schor recognized the remnants of the architectural style. The architectural style of the church was the same everywhere.

"Ah."

After responding, Moon's figure disappeared into the ruins.

"Hey! Eat, you're not hungry, are you?"

Shul was speechless about this taciturn boy. He just wanted to get to Reker City as soon as possible and get rid of him.

Shaking his head, Shule decided not to follow this stupid brat and walked towards the town center, or rather the former town center, alone, hoping to find a kind person to ask for a meal, preferably with some wine.

......

dong dong dong.

Shor picked a building that looked relatively intact and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there? I'm a traveler passing through, I need some supplies, if possible..."

"There's nothing here for you, let's go."

Before Shul could finish his words, a voice full of resistance came from inside the room, directly shutting him out.

"I have no ill intentions, I just want to..."

"go!"

Shul had used up all the remaining courtesy in his life to beg for food, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get through the door.

He let out a breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and turned to walk to the next house.

There will always be kind people.

But the opposite happened. He knocked on several doors in succession, but all of them refused to open the door for Shul, or simply told him to get out.

Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore.

Shuol cursed in his heart, full of anger, and knocked on the door of the last house at the critical point of his emotions.

He had made up his mind that if this house was still the same as before, he would just kick the door open and grab the food.

Anyway, he was just passing by here and he had no moral burden, so he just ran away.

Boom boom boom!

Just by listening to the knock on the door, you can already hear the impatience of the person knocking.

Boom boom boom!

Shul increased his strength.

Unfortunately, this time there was no sound in the house for a long time.

Just when Shor was about to lose his patience.

"Who, who?"

The timid girl's voice floated out from the door, suppressing Shul's anger by three points.

Finally someone who can speak normally.

"I'm a traveler passing through here. I hope to ask for some supplies. I will pay you. Of course, I don't have money, but I can help you work to pay for it."

"I'm sorry, uncle. We really don't have anything to give you. My father will be back soon. If he sees you, he will definitely misunderstand you and there will be conflicts. I'm really sorry..."

The girl's voice was unnatural, and this sentence was obviously a common self-protection rhetoric that had been practiced countless times.

Scholl was unwilling to give up and continued:

"You have to believe me, I'm not a bad person. We can make a deal. All it takes is a meal."

Perhaps feeling that his sincerity was not enough, Shul simply took a few steps back and kept a distance from the door.

"I know you don't want to open the door because you're afraid I might do something bad to you. How about this? You can first find a crack to see if I have any weapons or accomplices behind me. Then you can tell me through the door what the price of a meal is. Then I'll help you first, and then you can help me. How about that?"

The girl's voice sounded young, but her alertness was so strong, which must have been trained by some experience...

Shul's sincerity has been expressed, and his purpose is very simple, just for a meal. The girl in the house seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally stuck to the gap in the door panel, peeking at the dark and sturdy man outside the door.

"Uncle, people like you are scary even without weapons..."

"So you still can't open the door?"

"I'm sorry, but the door must not be opened. I don't dare to take the risk. You should go find someone else in town."

"But this is the last one and I'm almost starving. Please be kind, kid."

Shuoer had been a slave for decades and had reached his current position purely through his own strength, but this was the first time he had to bow his head and beg someone, a child at that.

"Feel sorry......"

"Please do us this favor. If you are afraid of him, talk to me."

A young boy's voice sounded from behind Shor, and Moon walked in front of the burly man and spoke to the girl in the house.

"Um, you are......"

"I am his companion. It is getting late. If you can be so kind as to take us in for one night, I will definitely thank you very much."

Moon said as he took out a shiny gold coin and waved it in front of him.

"Um... I still can't trust you so easily. Could you please take off your hood and show your face?"

Even though the two of them talked about this, the girl still held her bottom line.

"it is good."

Moon agreed and raised his hand to lift up his hood, revealing short white hair and a pair of furry ears.

And a harmless face.

But her face looked a little haggard, as if she had gone through a lot of vicissitudes, and there was an indescribable maturity that should not appear in someone of her age.

"Hey, are you a girl? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You didn't even ask."

Moon glanced at Shor.

Then she looked back at the door and said to the girl:

"Can you agree to our request now?"

"..."

There was another moment of silence, and finally, the door opened a crack, revealing half of a little face. After confirming again that there was no one else around, he opened the door completely and waved for the two to come in.

......

"Finally you've made it in. Aren't the people here any braver than rats? You're afraid that someone will eat you alive..."

"Don't talk, you'll scare her."

Moon interrupted Shor's complaints.

"Thank you for trusting us."

"Actually, I trust you, sister. It's really hard to trust this uncle completely. What if something unexpected happens..."

The girl glanced at Shul secretly, but was glared back at by him, and she couldn't help but shrink back.

"Well, I'll go find something else to treat you two. You guys take a seat first."

After the girl finished speaking, she ran into the inner room.
