Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Noah raised his eyes and looked at the village chief with a half-smile.

"Aldrich has been by my side for a long time and has always obeyed God's teachings." Noah asked: "He is a firm believer in the Holy Church of Light. He is kind and intelligent. He is my good partner. May I ask what he has done and why should I?" Punish him?"

The village chief didn't expect him to say such a thing first, and after a slight pause, he said: "He killed many robbers yesterday."

Noah nodded: "Oh, he saved you."

"It can't be said that way." The village chief sighed, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious: "My lord missionary, you don't know that this group of bandits has been entrenched in the Veteri Valley for ten years. Very powerful. Every autumn, they will rob food like this. But they will not kill them all, and the village can still develop slowly."

Noah understood that this was a very typical situation, because he couldn't resist the behavior of the robbers, he simply comforted himself that at least they still had a way out, and with such self-deceiving thoughts, life could go on again.

The state at this time is a reasonable state.

The appearance of Aldrich broke this reasonable state.

The village chief continued to say sadly: "This Neilbrook man has killed so many robbers, and they will definitely come to take revenge. At that time, you can just leave. Where can we who have lived here for generations go?" ?”

Noah asked softly, "Then how do you want me to punish you?"

The village chief said earnestly: "I hope that the missionary will hand over this Neilbrook man to us."

"What do you want to do?" Noah asked.

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "We will tie him up, send him to the Wetteri Valley, hand him over to those robbers, and pray for their forgiveness."

"Father! Please don't do this." The village chief's daughter stepped up, grabbed the village chief's cuff, and said in shame, "He saved us! We can't do this!"

"What do you know?!" The village chief frowned at her, motioning for her husband to drag her away: "I want to think about the future of the village! This is not the time for you to act willfully."

"If it wasn't for him, my daughter would have died at the hands of the robbers!" The hostess screamed, and her husband took her away with her mouth covered.

The village chief turned his head and said to Noah: "He is just a Neilbrook, Mr. Missionary. To compensate you, we will give you two better slaves."

The other villagers also whispered and looked at Aldrich.

"Although he is from Neilbrook, he is also a believer in God and has received God's grace."

Noah tapped on the wooden podium with his fingers, and dropped a bomb lightly: "And, last night, he came to save you just by God's will."

The village head was shocked: "How is it possible?"

"Please don't doubt God's will." Noah glanced at him indifferently, and the village chief broke out in a cold sweat, and said weakly, "It's my fault..."

He is a missionary, of course he is what he says.

Noah pressed his finger on the "Bright Holy Book", and his black missionary uniform made him look serious and serious: "Those robbers were just deceived by the God of Darkness. Aldrich cleaned up the cultists for us, and what he did All things are based on the belief and maintenance of God, the scriptures say that we cannot accuse any pious believer, they are all the people of the God of Light."

The village head was dumbfounded: "But..."

"Are you going to hand over the believers of God to the cultists who believe in the God of Darkness?" Noah frowned at him.

"No! I absolutely dare not... Please don't get me wrong!" If he admitted it, he would be labeled as a cultist immediately.Although this village has suffered from bandits' atrocities for ten years, the imperial army has been unable to come to clear up the bandits due to various reasons.But if there were cultists here, the village could be razed to the ground the next day.

The actions of the church judges are very fast.

The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he looked decades older in an instant.

Noah smiled and said: "In fact, you don't have to worry about the next thing. As a missionary of the Illuminati Church, my duty is to spread the teachings to every corner and make God favor everyone. Those robbers are nothing but Bewitched by the God of Darkness for a while, I will go to the Veteri Valley in person to meet them and explain the teachings to them. I believe that they will be able to wake up from the God of Darkness' bewitching and return to the embrace of the God of Light. "

The village chief was dumbfounded, completely unexpected that he would say such a thing.

If he wants to defend the Neilbrook people, he only needs to put pressure on the church, and the latter is completely unnecessary.

Does this mean that Mr. Missionary is going to go to the Veteri Valley himself to "purify" those robbers?

The village chief felt that he was sending himself to death.

Aldridge thought the same way. He looked at Noah anxiously, and said, "Please don't put yourself in danger for me. No missionary has ever gone deep into a robber's stronghold. It is also said in the scriptures, don't put yourself in danger." danger."

He opened his mouth to read the contents of the scriptures, and the village chief gave him a surprised look, believing that he was really a believer in the Illuminati Church.

In fact, thanks to Noah's teachings, Aldrich was able to open his mouth on the teachings of various gods.

If the person standing opposite is a believer of the God of Huanhuan, he can easily say the typical Huanhuan doctrine of "everything in the world has already been revealed by God".

"I'm not in danger, I'm just doing my job as a missionary." Noah said: "I'll let them wake up, without further ado, we'll start now."

Noah left after finishing speaking, took Aldrich who hadn't reacted yet, to the backyard, and led the lucky Dilo out.

He asked Aldrich to put on the armor, take the big sword, and mount the horse first.

"In the evening, we will come back." Noah said to the village chief: "When we come back, they must have become believers of the God of Light, our compatriots."

"Please prepare us a supper, a sumptuous feast."

The morning light reflected on his face, he looked very handsome and awe-inspiring, the village chief almost believed his words for a moment.

Then he stood beside Dilo and held out his hand for Aldrich to pull him onto the horse.

He couldn't climb up by himself.

After Aldridge pulled him up and urged the horse to leave, the village chief looked at their backs and murmured, "They must have escaped..."

Aldrich ran out of the village with Noah, and then asked, "Where are we going next?"

Noah said: "Wateri Valley." Didn't he understand what he said just now?

Aldridge: "Aren't we running away?"

Noah: "..."

"If you run away, I'll let you bring food instead of armor." Noah patted the lucky Dilo and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the Veteri Valley is ahead, let's go meet those dark cultists. "

The Wetteri Valley is an ordinary valley. There are at least a few thousand such valleys in the entire Reedlas continent, and there is nothing special about it.

The terrain in the valley is rugged, the sky is blocked by big trees, and the air becomes humid and quiet.There are broken tree trunks everywhere, meandering streams, and beasts hidden in the darkness.There is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the soil, and if you are not careful, you will step on the air, but Dilo is worthy of being a retired horse with a lot of experience. Even so, he is walking on the ground, quickly leading Noah and the others through the valley.

They followed the traces of the robbers' retreat yesterday, and traces of blood and horseshoes, as well as the scent of humans loomed in the valley.

"I haven't learned how to track prey and capture clues." Noah said to himself: "If there is a chance, I should learn it."

Aldrich: Wait, you just said the word prey, didn't you? !

Despite some difficulty, they finally found the bandits' camp, and Noah got off Dilo with the help of Aldrich.

"What should we do next?" Aldridge asked softly, "They haven't found us yet."

There is a fence around the camp, with torches erected, a square in the middle, and a mess of houses behind it.

The robbers from the Veteri Valley were gathering in the square. Most of them were wounded, and they sat on the ground drinking after being bandaged indiscriminately.

"Where did that Neilbrook man come from yesterday?!" The bandit leader sat on the top chair and picked up the wine bottle. However, after he smelled the wine inside, he remembered the fire last night.

Distraught, he tosses the bottle away, a complete and unexpected failure.

"Boss, we don't have any news!" shouted his men.

"What now?"

"Burn that village! Let him know how good we are!"

"Force them to hand them over!"

The robbers below were arguing, while the leader of the bandits pondered for a while, and then slowly tied up his messy hair.

"What's the use of burning the village." He said slowly, "I want to make them feel hopeless."

After his hair was tied up, he revealed a pair of falcon-like eyes and rough eyebrows, and the people below became quiet.

"Go and fetch my armor," said the Bandit Chief.

The subordinate next to him shuddered, knowing that the boss was going to be really angry.He immediately ran to the back room and took out a set of standard armor.

At this time, the atmosphere of the bandits had changed. Although they were still sitting there crookedly, drinking wine, and making some nasty jokes, when the bandit leader put on the standard armor of the Shilan Empire, Their expressions became serious.

You can even faintly see the aura of the army on them.

"Knight Commander." The robbers also changed their titles, and they respectfully said, "Please order."

The bandit leader puts on his army armor and transforms himself into the knight commander of the empire.

However, when he spoke, he still had the taste of a bandit: "They dare to hide the Neilbrook people and attack our empire soldiers under his leadership."

He said grimly: "This is treason!"
