Skretil's Ignorance Walker

Lu Ren and his party did not linger here for too long. When the sun just rose the next day, they said goodbye to Isola and left.

Whether Isola was once a noble Duke or not, this has nothing to do with Lu Ren. She just simply wanted to see the great scenery of the Iris Kingdom. Although Amy may have other ideas, Lu Ren did not care about things that were too dangerous. Not willing to participate. But if there is a suitable opportunity, Lu Ren will also help Amy fulfill her wish.

Although everyone has left the border outpost for a long time, in theory, the place where they are currently is still considered the border. Although some working gardeners and patrolling troops can be seen here and there, there is almost nothing else. Now that everyone was gone, Lu Ren and the others resupplied at the first town they reached, and then continued to move south.

After entering Iris from the Principality of Slocia in the north, the first thing Lu Ren and the others entered was the territory of the former Northern Archduke. This was the land that was the first to submit to the Queen during the war, so it was hardly exposed to the baptism of war. There was a vast area everywhere. A peaceful scene.

Except for some small commotion caused by Xiaoyi when they first entered the town, everything else was going well. After Lu Ren and the others left for a day, the sky gradually became dark again.

At this time, Amy was driving the carriage. She saw a small village ahead, so she planned to find someone to stay for a night. As soon as they arrived at the village, they saw a woman with a tight figure and a beautiful face. She was walking towards the village, with a sword on her waist. Although there was no trace of impurities or wrinkles on her face, it gave people a sense of age, which made Amy unable to recognize the other person's actual age for a moment.

Looking at some wild fruits and vegetables in the basket in the other party's hand, Amy guessed that the other party must have returned from foraging for food in the forest, so she took this opportunity to see if she could stay overnight at the other party's house.

"Look, we are travelers passing by. I wonder if this beautiful lady can take us in for a night?"

Hearing Amy's voice, the other party turned around and saw the griffin pulling the carriage. He was startled, but then calmed down.

"Sorry, my house is too shabby to entertain you. Please go to another house to have a look."

"Really, that's disturbing."

Seeing that the other party was not willing to take in her group, Amy didn't bother much, so she drove towards the village. After looking for several families in the village, the village chief finally agreed that they could stay overnight.

Lu Ren and the others were very happy to have a place to stay and food to eat. They all enjoyed dinner together and then went to the room prepared by the village chief.

It's not yet eight o'clock in the evening, and there is still some time before going to bed, so everyone is looking for something to do. Vera took Amy and started playing cards, while Fafuwei went out to feed Xiaoyi. Lu Ren was lying beside the window bored, taking out his little magic eyes and looking around casually.

"Ok?"

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Lu Ren discovered that the village was built at the foot of the mountain. One side was blocked by a tall and steep mountain. A small river flowed from the mountain, supporting the entire village.

And in the innermost part of the village, at the foot of the mountain, there is a house that looks bigger than the village chief's house. It should be the largest family in the village. Their house is built by the water. It looks like The environment is also very good, but it is a bit out of place with the surrounding houses.

I don’t know whose house it is, but it’s actually more grand than the village chief’s house. Lu Ren thought in his mind, logically speaking, shouldn't the village chief's residence be the largest? Could it be that it was the house of a local lord? But didn’t it mean that all the nobles in Iris were wiped out by the queen? Then who lives there?

With curious thoughts, Lu Ren left the room alone, and then started wandering around the village on the pretext of taking a walk, and slowly came to the house he just saw.

Through the little magic eye, I saw candlelight and some cooking sounds in the house. I guess the owner of the house must be cooking inside now, right? Lu Ren felt that it was rude to disturb the other party rashly. Besides, it was not an important matter, so he planned to leave.

But as soon as Lu Ren turned his head, he noticed someone hiding behind the surrounding trees, keeping peeking at him.

And Lu Ren actually felt a hint of hostility. Although the other party didn't seem to have any fighting ability, Lu Ren couldn't help but be a little curious. He had just arrived here and he had no enemies. How could someone without any fighting ability be hostile to him for no reason? Woolen cloth? Is it just because of his cute and weak appearance?

Thinking of this, Lu Ren cast magic and disappeared instantly. She planned to tease the other party.

Seeing Lu Ren disappear on the spot, the person hiding in the dark came out in surprise and looked around where Lu Ren disappeared, and then Lu Ren suddenly appeared behind her.

At this time, Lu Ren discovered that the other person turned out to be a child about the same age as himself, looking about eleven or twelve years old.

So Lu Ren didn't do anything excessive, he just patted the other party's shoulder quietly, but this also scared the other party enough.

"Hey——! You, you, you...how did you..."

The little girl who was so frightened that she fell to the ground looked at Lu Ren in horror. The words in her mouth were a little unclear. Lu Ren just opened his mouth, but after hearing the little girl's cry, the people in the house behind him rushed directly to her. out.

Lu Ren noticed that a powerful magic wave appeared behind her, and she quickly deployed a magic barrier to prevent the other party from sneak attacks. But to Lu Ren's surprise, the owner of the house did not attack Lu Ren immediately. Instead, he quickly came to Lu Ren with the help of magic power and stood between the little girl and Lu Ren.

"Lord Elizabeth, are you okay?"

After seeing that Lu Ren didn't act, the other party was alert and asked the little girl behind him. The latter nodded, then got up and hid behind the other party.

"Who are you? What are you going to do to Lady Elizabeth?"

"Ah... there may be some misunderstanding. I'm just passing by here. I don't mean any harm."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff, Lu Ren waved her hand to signal the other party not to be so nervous. She was unwilling to engage in meaningless fighting.

"I was just taking a walk in the village, and when I came here I found this little girl spying on me, so I played with her, not doing anything to her."

"Nonsense, you were clearly staring at my house just now!"

Hearing Lu Ren's words, the little girl shouted loudly. It was really hard for Lu Ren to refute these words. She thought about it and said:

"That's just because I saw such a nice house here and was a little curious, so I couldn't help but take a second look."

Lu Ren spread his hands. Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, this was his true thought.

"Really? It's getting late now. You'd better please go back. We don't welcome outsiders here."

Protecting the little girl behind him, the lady in front of Lu Ren did not completely let down her guard. Her hand was still on the sword on her waist. As long as Lu Ren had any abnormality, she would definitely pull out the sword as soon as possible. Cut to Lu Ren.

After finishing speaking, the other party took the little girl into the house, leaving Lu Ren alone, but at this time Lu Ren suddenly spoke.

"Could this be Elizabeth Everett?"
