[Comprehensive] A good snake has a safe life

Children are really clingy.

It's not that Shelley doesn't know,? But it's a bit overwhelming to have two at a time.

It's like someone with a sweet tooth being dunked in a honeypot,? It was good at first, but then it got boring.

Yes, too boring.

The snake girl has had no private time for a long time, and she is almost used to the days when children hold unknown creatures and call her teacher within 3 minutes.

She pressed her temples, very worried.

Especially after the system told her that she still had to learn magic.

[After all, this is a magic land, a great magician can't do magic,? It's a joke to say it. 】

The system is plausible: [and it will be useful in the future. 】

After thinking about it for a while, the snake girl chose the more bluffing trick of fetching things from the air and practiced for two days. First, she practiced in the room with a firewood stick. Later, she didn't need it when she became proficient.

There is also an interesting thing, that is, Arthur ran in without knocking on the door. When he saw the firewood stick, he was so frightened that he wanted to cry again, thinking that Shelley had discovered a new weapon for violence.

"No,? Really not." Shelley repeatedly explained: "Of course, but if you come in without knocking next time, I don't mind experimenting on you."

Arthur's face turned pale, and he ran away in horror.

Cover your ass.

Shelley didn't know what impression she made on the two children,? But she was very happy that the two children behaved well in front of her.

The biggest beneficiary of this is none other than Sir Eckert.

A soft-hearted father suddenly found that the children were sensible and well-behaved,? It was as if someone had cast a spell.Although this transformation made him feel unnatural, he was very happy to accept the result.

In particular, both Arthur and Kai have learned to ride horses by themselves, which will make it easier to go to the village in the future.

At the same invitation, Shelley also joined the small gang.

"The village is really fun." Kai chirped on the horse, "There is a big granary, and I almost caught a mouse in it last time!"

Arthur, on the other hand, moved closer to Shelley with a bit of disgust, and was slapped on the shoulder by Shelley by the way.

"Sit up straight."

"Oh." The little boy rode his own white pony: "Is this okay, teacher?"

"more or less."

Shelley took a second look and talked to Eckert about the recent growth of wheat. The familiar appearance made Eckert suspect that the magister was an agronomist. They also discussed the things in the royal city by the way. Wang's physical condition.

It seems that when the real Merlin died, King Uther's health began to suffer.

And after Eckert sent the letter about Xuemeilin to Wangcheng, it took some time for the letter to come back.

"Could it be Niwei vs. the king..." Eckert was a little worried: "Although everything is normal to the outside world now, some people are already starting to make moves."

There will always be people coveting the king's throne, and how to repel these people is also a problem that the knights need to face.

Eckert was worried, but Shelley didn't take it seriously.

"It won't be a problem," she said, "and if there is, it's not a big deal."

King Uther's personal letter seemed to be written clearly and logically. It expressed some surprises about Merlin becoming a woman, but it also emphasized the promise of entrusting Arthur to her and the two people.Shelley glanced at the handwritten letter, thinking that after this winter, he would go to Wangcheng to see King Uther. At least he had to pass this level before he could continue to deceive.

Speaking of the word cheating, Shelley felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that she shouldn't have been an imposter in the first place.

If one lie is told, another one will be used to make up for it, and in the end countless lies will be told.

I deceived one person before, and I will deceive countless others in the future.

"teacher?"

Arthur looked at her face and asked a question.Shelley looked over and saw that he was leaning on the horse again, and motioned him to sit up straight.

The kid sat back down again.

"Look at Kai, he's not like you." The snake girl pointed to the brown-haired kid who was sitting upright all the time: "He's so well-behaved."

Arthur pouted and rode beside his brother.

"Brother, aren't you tired like this?"

"Tired," said little friend Kai plainly, "but I'm more afraid that Merlin will hit me."

The blond boy was startled, and looked back quietly, seeing Shelley looking down at the whip, wondering what he was thinking.

"Uh..." Arthur swallowed, "Let's go together."

The village is still very interesting.

For Kay and Arthur.

Rural life is magical and unfamiliar to children. When they come to a village, they will first be attracted by various fields.Shelley saw the two of them running around, thinking of herself as a child.

I can't remember exactly, but it probably doesn't look like this kind of wild child.

She squatted down, touched the soil, and felt that the water was sufficient—this was the largest wheat-growing village nearby, and it was also the only place where the fields could be managed in pieces.And this village is next to Astir Mountain, handing over to Sundred, so the residents of the two countries on the border often have small-scale trade exchanges.

It's always been peaceful here, but not so much lately.

"It's like this," the village chief bowed to the group, and talked about the recent situation: "The other side of the mountain has been hit by a disaster recently, and because the harvest time is approaching, the loss is very serious. Those who married there The daughter-in-law came home to borrow food and told us about the situation, and not long after, the lord of the territory over there brought people to harass us."

The gang did no harm, but drove everyone together, and then took their food and livestock from the granary.

"We have asked them not to do this, because there are still a few newborn children in our village." A mother who had just given birth came to ask for help: "We asked them to leave a few cows and The sheep give milk, but they leave nothing behind."

The new mother's child was crying with hunger, but the mother who had no milk could not eat, and could not even get milk or goat's milk. Seeing her child sucking her breast, blood came out.

Eckert's complexion was very bad, and the two children were even more indignant.

"What's the difference between robbing civilians of food and bandits!" Kai clenched his fists: "Father! We must deal with them properly!"

"Leave this matter to me. You should still practice swordsmanship and learn knowledge."

Eckert comforted the two children, but did not directly make a decision.

Shelley understood his difficulty.

The relationship between lords and lords is very special, especially on the frontier.

The lords on the border of the two countries are loyal to different kings, and the difference in the situation of the country will also make a little subtle thing the starting point of the war.

Eckert is not a warlike knight, but he will not allow the people of his territory to be bullied at will.

He made two preparations, one was to write to the other lord to explain the seriousness of the problem, and condemned his behavior, and ordered him to return the robbed food, and at the same time taught the residents of the village how to protect their own food, and the next time the other party came The first is to notify him as soon as possible; the second is to write to Uther in advance to inform him of the situation on the border and to prepare Uther for the next outbreak of conflict.

He got busy and Shelley stopped him.

"You don't need to go to such trouble." Shelley said, "Just write a letter to the person on the other side and tell him that this is a village protected by Merlin. Robbing this place will not only lose the honor of the knight, but also pay a corresponding price. If he If he doesn't return the money soon and apologize, then he's screwed."

"...?" Eckert looked a little puzzled, but immediately understood Shelley's meaning.The silver-haired girl hummed and ran to see the corn in the field.

"This corn will be very sweet when it grows, and it can be eaten raw." Shelley said with experience: "Crispy."

Arthur and Kai looked forward to it, as if they hoped that the corn would grow as soon as possible.

Not long after the letter was delivered, the messenger returned with a look of indignation.

It is said that the lord named Kanan tore up the parchment while laughing. He not only refused to admit that he had robbed things, but also mocked Eckert as a hypocritical and weak knight.He said that Eckert dared not challenge him face to face, and even used Merlin's reputation to intimidate him, and he was completely unqualified to be a knight.

Eckert looked upset, and Shelley gave him the yogurt he brought back today and asked him to eat more.

"The taste is quite good." The silver-haired girl smiled: "You should be happy, because people can't stop others from doing their own thing."

Jazz couldn't eat, and planned to visit the village again the next day.Shelley got up early in the morning and went with him.

Everyone seems to be looking forward to the good news, but the Jazz is a little bit saddened by the other party's arrogance and faux pas.

Heartlessly, Shelley turned around and started teaching the villagers how to ferment manure.

They stayed from day to afternoon, intending to return before the sun went down.And when they were about to go back home, there was a group of people not far away, who seemed to be walking this way with a lot of things.

It's Kanan.

He took his own group of knights, carrying food in a panic, and hanging the cows and ewes on the horses.He saw Eckert from a long distance, and he didn't want to come over, but in the end he approached reluctantly.

He dropped his things and turned away, but the horse's hooves were caught firmly by something in the mud.

"Come here and apologize."

The silver-haired girl leaned against the tree, her eyes were very happy: "You did something that a knight should not do, and you should apologize to Eckert and the villagers."

Kanan was furious, drew out his long sword and rushed towards Shelley, while Eckert immediately counterattacked with his sword.

The two knights came and went against each other in the sunset, and in the end, Kanan's sword was picked up by Eckert.

"Kanan, you and your knights, leave my village."

Jazz had no expression on his face, and his eyes were stern: "Next time if this happens again, it won't be your sword that gets thrown away."

The defeated man fled, taking his knight with him.The villagers cheered and took back the food and livestock that belonged to them, and Shelley enjoyed the same treatment as a baby that night.

A mug of hot milk.

She gulped down a sip and was so hot that she couldn't stand it.But the taste of milk is still very good, Shelley thought that Kay and Arthur should also have a cup every day.

They were left in the village that night, and everyone entertained them with great hospitality. They killed a chicken and roasted it and gave it to them.

This gift is a bit crude, but even they themselves don't know how to roast chicken for a holiday.

Shelley ate a drumstick and thought it tasted very good.

Free-range chicken is delicious.

In the middle of the night, Shelley couldn't fall asleep, so he ran out to look at the starry sky outside.

The starry night sky is very beautiful, like countless diamonds on velvet.

Shelley stretched, and at this moment Eckert also came over.

"May I know how you punished them?"

Eckert asked, "Kanan looked terrified."

Shelley pursed his lips and laughed.

"I released the snake."

"...?!" Jazz was very surprised: "Snake?"

"Well, there are quite a few." Shelley waved his hand: "From his castle to the streets and alleys, I put snakes in every possible place to stay. I even put snakes in the granary for them to see." Get food but not eat."

After listening to Eckert, he couldn't help laughing, and finally laughed: "Hahaha, no wonder Kanan is subdued. You must know his usual personality, and there is no way to end it without a fight with him."

"After all, snakes are evil animals, aren't they?" Shelley frowned.

People don't care whether Kanan robs other people's things or not, but they are very concerned about why the overwhelming snakes have entered the city - a change of this scale will be called God's punishment, and a territory will be destroyed. Only the local lords were punished in this way.

As long as Kanan doesn't want to be pointed at or even alarmed by the king, he will try his best to calm this matter down.

Eckert, who is also a lord, knows this well.

"Thank you, Merlin."

He suddenly and solemnly knelt down beside her, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand lightly.

"Thank you for quelling a possible war like this."

The author has something to say: Arthur: "Father, let go of my teacher!"

Huh, do you feel anything familiar?
