The villagers cheered and took out their agricultural tools, harvested in the vast fields, slowly tied up bundles of grain, and moved them into the barn that was already few left.

Matthew is not idle either. As a Servant, she is more powerful than ordinary villagers. Children can only help to pick up one solid bundle of grain, and adults can only lift two bundles at a time, and Matthew lifts them together. Four bundles are not too much, but it is too much to walk at once, so I only move a little at a time.

"........."

Atalanta was not in a hurry to go down to help, she just sat on a branch on one side and watched, her eyes resting on Matthew from time to time, she couldn't help but have some doubts.

——Why help them?It doesn't make any sense.

But she was not so straightforward as to run down to ask her directly, so she still chose to watch quietly from the tree.

She knew the reason why the girl would do it, but she still couldn't understand it.

——She and that person just "wanted to do something", but it seemed that she couldn't accept such a simple reason.

They were obviously two very naive, down to a little silly people, but she didn't want to face up to and admit to everything they did.

Heh... Are you not used to seeing such kindness and beauty? I never thought that I would be such a dark person... Really ugly.

No, I don't seem to be such a superficial person. It's really strange. I never had such doubts before, but after spending more time with Theiasius and the others, it made her become a little Feeling sentimental.

The huntress frowned. She noticed a subtle change in her mentality, and this change was conflicting with some of her original code of conduct.

Suddenly, Atalanta, who fell into self-thinking, suddenly heard a conversation between an adult and a child below her.

"Aios, haven't you eaten yet?! Why can't you even move this little thing?!"

"I'm... sorry, Quecquettes."

"...Oh, forget it, there is nothing you can do if you are so skinny, it just so happens that Lord Hero gave us food this time, so we need to eat more in the future! Work harder next time!"

The lower voice was a bit helpless, but he didn't blame that person too much, he just said a few words to him and left.

Atalanta lowered her head, watching a thin boy of thirteen or fourteen holding a large bundle of food, gritting his teeth and moving forward bit by bit.

That bundle of food was very easy for an adult, and enough for other children to bear. It was as heavy as a mountain in his hands. He could only grit his teeth and drag it forward with a livid face.

At this time, there was another big boy who was a head taller than him, walking by him, holding a bundle of grain tightly in his hands. Although it was heavy for him, it was much better than that boy up.

"Oh—Aios, look, I've already carried the second bundle, hahaha—"

The older child looked at the boy, couldn't help but smile and passed him, as if deliberately trying to show off in front of the boy, he also deliberately tried his best to speed up.

And the child could only look at his back from behind him, and then moved the grain.

"........."

Atalanta was silent for a moment, then passed through the branches with great ease, jumped lightly, and landed in front of the boy.

"Hey...you are the one with the hero..."

A person suddenly appeared in front of him. The boy Aios opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but say.

"Yes...you are a child, but why do they want you to carry food together?"

Atalanta asked, frowning.

"Ah? Uh... Well, because this bumper harvest is a whole year's worth of grain, the adults in the village really don't have enough, so it's normal for us to move grain too."

The boy thought for a moment, and then said it as a matter of course.

"...Really, then let me get it for you."

Atalanta's words were as calm as picking up a glass of water.

"Eh?"

Before the boy could react, the food in his hand had been lifted up, and Atalanta glanced at him and said, "That man is right, you should eat more and grow more meat. "

After speaking, she was going to throw the bundle of grain into the barn in the village.

"That...that..."

Suddenly, the boy stopped her, his tone was full of hesitation, but in the end he still made a little attempt.

"what happened?"

"Well...except for this bundle, can you help us move the food together...Because there is a lot of food and everyone is very busy..."

Atalanta looked back at the boy, frowned slightly, and then murmured to herself: "Is this also a kind of greed?"

"Ah...no, I'm very sorry!"

The boy suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly changed his words to apologize.

"... Ho."

Atalanta didn't answer directly, but she didn't put down the food in her hand either.

"Greedy, maybe you will become such a human being when you grow up..."

Atalanta fell into deep thought, then walked towards the barn with the bundle of grain.

"But anyway, anyway, now you are just a child who doesn't understand anything... Should this be called luck or misfortune...? Before you grow up completely and can bear everything you need to bear, for the time being Let me help you a bit."

It seems to be an excuse for myself to rationalize my own help, or maybe it is really imagined, no matter what, the huntress puts down a bundle of grain in the barn, and then it turns into a turquoise shadow, In an instant, he passed through the surrounding obstacles, and took a few bundles from the large pile of bundled grain by the farmland.

The second day Lixiang and the others lived here ended in this miraculous harvest. At night, the villagers held a carnival party again. The indistinct sadness on the faces of the villagers was also on this day Nothing survived the baptism.

Tonight's party was also different from yesterday's. Almost every villager had a smile from the heart. They sang and danced around the campfire, offering their joy and sacrifices to the gods.

The men drank the ale that had not been stored much, which was already equivalent to their spiritual sustenance, but was also dug out under the great joy of the harvest. These men who worked hard in the fields during the day talked freely The anecdotes of the day and his own "records".

Women also have some gossip about their parents who can't finish chatting with each other. Some older women sit by the small fire, talking to each other, telling trivial details that cannot be explained clearly, if no one reminds them They, they might be able to talk until the sun rose the next day.

There are also boys and girls with the most energy. They are undoubtedly the active crowd among the villagers. A few people, taking advantage of the fact that their family members are not paying attention, quietly spend time alone with the person they like.

And during the daytime today, the two of Lixiang Mash and the boys and girls in the village also became acquainted unconsciously, and the relationship became familiar involuntarily.

The two of them were surrounded by many teenagers and girls, so that even the old man couldn't squeeze in to have a chat with Lixiang.

"Master Hero, how did you defeat such a big demon pig?"

"Uh...although there is part of me, but no matter what, I can't do without the help of my companions..."

"What else is there?!"

"Uh...a timely and correct judgment on the battle situation..."

"What else?! There must be more than that, right? And then? And then what?!"

"Uh... I shot it dead..."

A drop of cold sweat ran down Lixiang's cheeks from his forehead. To be honest, he had seen so many stormy waves, and this was the first time he had seen such a scene, so he was a little overwhelmed.

"Oh—as expected of a hero, that gun must be the legendary magic weapon, right?"

"Why can't we see that gun?"

'——Matthew, help me! '

Lixiang sent a SOS look to Mash.

"Ah... everyone, I'm very sorry... ahhhh!"

Matthew acted immediately after understanding, but before she finished speaking, the pink-haired girl was squeezed out.

"senior---"

Mash was almost bewildered. Before she could react, she was squeezed out by the enthusiastic teenagers and girls in front of her. At the same time, her voice was like a stone sinking into the ocean without receiving the slightest response.

"Master Hero—"

"My lord hero is so powerful—even defeating the devil pig is not a problem—"

"Ah, it seems to give birth to a child for Mr. Hero—"

Li Xiang trembled, as if he had heard something very serious.

"Ah, how cunning! I want to give birth to a child for Mr. Hero—"

Then whoever said it out of his head was like a spark falling into a gunpowder barrel, and all the boys and girls around him exploded at once. Lixiang felt what might happen if he didn't slip away quickly. An irreparable tragedy.

"My lord hero—we are all your admirers!"

Suddenly, a shadow rushed towards him directly.

Li Xiang hurriedly dodged, and at a glance he saw clearly that it was a boy about his age, but his body couldn't help shaking, and when he thought of a certain kind of person that was most abundant in Greece, he trembled even more.

"—Don't come here!!!"

PS: Grass, I tried the water last night, and there was no movement at all. My Lilith is a little bit weird.

Chapter 54: The Man in the Skin of the Lion

On the third day Lixiang and the others came to this village, in the early morning, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village.

Li Xiang opened his eyes, and there was a little sleepiness in his eyes. Last night's harvest party lasted until late at night, so that he didn't sleep long last night.

Although it won't affect him after a year under Mr. Chiron's hands, it's an instinctive mechanism of the human body after all, no matter how powerful a hero is, it's impossible to resist the continuous drowsiness.

However, he had already woken up, and he wouldn't be able to sleep for a long time again, so after thinking for a few seconds, he got up quickly, wanting to see what was going on at the entrance of the village.

As soon as he went out, he saw a taller figure.

"Cquettes, where are you going?"

Lixiang stopped the tall man and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, it's Mr. Hero... There was still a lot of grass ash in the square that hadn't been cleaned up yesterday. I'll go and collect the ash and pour it into the field to prepare for the land seal."

Quequites scratched his head and said.

"What's going on at the entrance of the village, it's a bit noisy..."

Li Xiang smiled awkwardly, then said.

"Oh, two people came this morning, and they seem to have had some quarrel with the village chief over some things."

Kequets didn't pay much attention to this matter, he just said something to Lixiang and left.

But what he said made Lixiang suddenly vigilant, this village that was supposed to be completely isolated from the outside world unexpectedly had two more outsiders... Could it be...

Li Xiang's eyes widened, this couldn't be...!

This thought flashed through his mind, and he rushed towards the entrance of the village.

The boy's figure quickly passed through the streets and alleys like a white shadow in the village, and he arrived at the entrance of the village not long after.

At the entrance of the village stood an old man he was familiar with, besides a very burly young man and a white-haired girl in a dress.

"Eh... isn't it..."

Seeing the figure at the entrance of the village from a distance, Li Xiang narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze instantly recognized the two figures with very different postures.

The skin of that tall young man's limbs showed a deep copper color after being exposed to the sun for a long time, his long black hair was thrown back casually, and he was covered with a fine lion skin. The breath of the extreme "warrior", the so-called "brave" is fully reflected in the base fabric.

That person is... Lixiang couldn't help reflecting that frantic and burly figure in his mind. Although he lost his mind, he was still extremely brave.

But the man in front of him undoubtedly looked thinner and younger than the Berserker.

And that short-haired girl in an exquisite gauze dress looks like an exquisite doll, her short white hair has just been pulled into a ponytail that can barely be tied up, and her reddish and bewitching pupils are not like the eyes that a man can have , this Lixiang couldn't tell whether he (she?) was a man or a woman for a while, followed the young man closely, and it could be seen that he (she?) was very dependent on his companion.

But what makes Lixiang feel regretful is that no matter which one of them it is, he doesn't feel the "healer" feeling that the teacher described in Asclepius from them.

So... isn't it...

Lixiang was a little depressed, every expectation, every disappointment, although this was not the first time, but his expectations were not long enough to ignore the disappointment again and again.

"--who is it?!"

But when Lixiang was sighing, the tall man noticed Lixiang's gaze in an instant, he turned his head instantly, and roared in the direction of Lixiang like a lion's roar.

"……Eh!?"

Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly felt as if thousands of drums were beating in his ears, and the strong wind was compressed together and smashed in front of him like a heavy hammer, shaking the surrounding houses trembling, Li Xiang There was a tinnitus in his ears.

"—Ah! Who is it?! Who is it?!"
