Poverty Alleviation Princess

The sound of dragon rustling is getting closer and closer.

"Is it alright?"

A man lowered his voice.

"It should be fine, I took the medicine." Another person responded in a low voice.

"Is it not good for me to do this?"

The timid, unashamed voice finally sounded.

"Idiot, do you want to back down at this time?"

The first voice scolded in a low voice.

"But, but Miko-sama didn't say...we are carrying Miko-sama..."

"Then you want to watch us die!"

In the darkness, someone waved his arm.Then the man in front of him shrank his body and responded in a low voice.

"...I know, I will do it."

The three figures took advantage of the night and walked to the wall. Although they had taken the medicine, they were still afraid that the sound of the door would wake up the man who looked unfriendly, so the three chose to invade from the low wall.

If it is not impossible, they are not willing to do so.But until now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

However, before they could see clearly what was behind the wall, the three of them lost consciousness one after the other.

Without a chance to fight back, before the consciousness dissipated, he only felt as if he saw a demon god with scarlet eyes.

"So these three are the intruders?"

Uchiha Madara didn't directly kill the three of them, but brought them to Yuan and handed them over to her for judgment.

"Yes, there is no one else."

Uchiha Madara looked at the three people who were thrown on the ground like ooze, and asked without blinking his eyes.

"Do you want to get rid of it directly? This village."

Considering the ropes and sacks they held in their hands, the actions of these three people have already offended and threatened Ji Jun. In the case of unknown intelligence, cutting the grass and roots is the easiest and quickest way.

"That's not necessary." A Yuan shook his head, looked at the three people who were still unconscious by the candlelight, "Wake up one and ask about the situation."

"Yes." Uchiha Madara was about to walk to the next room, "Then I..."

Just go to the next door to solve it.

Before he finished speaking, he noticed another breath.

"...that witch is here."

Uchiha Madara's voice fell, and the old witch's hoarse voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, are you still awake?"

"Sorry for disturbing you late at night, but if someone disturbs your rest, please be merciful, please be merciful, and we will do our best to make up for it."

She spoke in a hurry, and before she finished speaking, she coughed violently.

"Master Miko!"

"Mother-in-law!"

With the sound of coughing, the boy's concerned voice also came in.

"...I'm going to deal with it together."

Uchiha Madara frowned.

The previous offense has not been resolved, why does this old witch ask Ji Jun for mercy?It's too ignorant.

"No, wait, let her in."

Of course, it is more important to ask for information than to slap someone.Now that the initiative is on my side, it is a good opportunity to talk.

Yuan straightened his clothes and finished, then nodded to Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara didn't move, and Uchiha Madara who was sitting there didn't move, but another person got up to open the door.Although the strength has not returned to the peak, it is still very simple to separate.

The old wooden door groaned, and the figure of the man standing in the night looked like a demon god, so frightened that the boy holding the lantern in the front almost threw the lantern in his hand and sat down on the ground.

"Hey—my, my lord."

He screamed tremblingly, and tried very hard to swallow back the scream of being frightened, but this did not mean that he was not afraid anymore - the lantern in the young man's hand was shaking non-stop because of the master's trembling, which proved it.

"..."

Uchiha Madara didn't answer, but just passed a few people with cold eyes, and then turned sideways to let the door open.

The man who looked like a demon god, and the gate like a bottomless mouth, no matter which one could associate a series of horror stories, so the three boys who came together hesitated.

What if the lady and attendant who suddenly appeared at dusk are really monsters?Although there is a witch's enchantment in their village, I have heard that as long as the monster is strong enough, it can ignore the witch's and mage's enchantment.

"Don't be rude!"

The gray-haired priestess knocked on the back of the boy holding the lantern, then took two steps forward, and bowed to Uchiha Madara: "Sorry, these children are still young, and they haven't seen big people much. My lord Your aura is too strong, that's why they behaved so embarrassingly."

"It doesn't matter."

Even ninjas who have experienced many battles will be timid when they see themselves, let alone a few ordinary people.Uchiha Madara doesn't feel offended by this little thing.

Who would be so bored as to be as knowledgeable as an ant?

Not to mention the fragile lives that may not see the sun of tomorrow.

"Then let me hear your explanation?"

When they entered the house, A Yuan had already put on a commercial posture, ready to 'open'.

Although it is a dark and simple room with only candlelight, the girl sitting in the middle is so dignified and noble, as if she is not sticking out of a room in a dilapidated village at this time, but in the clouds surrounded by fairy sounds, A vast room full of worldly beauty.

Seeing Ah Yuan like this, no one present would doubt her noble background.

The old witch bowed to the ground: "Ashi and the others did this kind of thing, we dare not expect your forgiveness, we only hope that you can pour your anger on us and let this village go."

Regardless of her old body, she kowtowed three times.The teenagers beside her also kowtowed in fright.

"No matter how you deal with us, you have no complaints. I just ask you to spare this troubled village."

A Yuan neither agreed nor vetoed, she cared more about the reasons than these.

"The reason?"

"Yes, it's because the women's recruiting team is coming soon."

The boy who followed the old witch responded softly.

"Recruiting... the women's team?"

A Yuan thought for a moment that she had heard wrong.

She has heard of conscription, and also of conscription, but conscripts?

"Yes... the city lord suddenly ordered that all women of the right age be sent to the city." The old witch spoke, and she explained while still maintaining her kneeling posture.

"Although we are not very rich here, there are no monsters and wars, so everyone's life is still passable. Until half a year ago, the city lord ordered that girls between the ages of ten and 30 in the village should be sent to the city. In the beginning, there were only a few people from each village—at that time, we all thought that they were sent to the city to work as maids, and indeed this happens occasionally, so we didn’t pay attention.”

"However, none of the women who were sent to the city have ever shown up again. No, not only have no one seen them, but no one has even heard of them."

One of the teenagers kneeling on the ground couldn't help but interjected:

"There's not even a single message, it's as if the sisters have disappeared... Hiss!"

The boy was slapped on the ground by the old witch.

"Sorry, the child is not sensible yet... But as he said, all the women are gone. But the city lord is still recruiting women from the nearby villages, and all the women who were taken away are gone. It was only at this time that we panicked—but it was already too late."

"The women recruiting teams are coming more and more frequently, and there are fewer and fewer young women. The remaining young women are hidden, but the city lord is still sending troops to take away the young women. Every village at least You have to donate one, or you will have to execute a person in the village."

"So you're following me?"

Ah Yuan understood now.

She nodded knowingly, and she wasn't too angry - after all, there were spots around her, and there were existences that could easily take the lives of these people, so she didn't take this level of offense very seriously.

"I know that my old life is nothing, but I will sacrifice the treasure that I have guarded for many years, which can remove the ghosts, and my life. I just ask you not to anger this poor village."

Hearing what the old priestess said, the boys beside her became anxious.Ignoring the fear, they came forward to intercede: "Please, please let Miko-sama go! It's our fault!"

"If you want to kill me, please kill me, please let Miko-sama go."

"I...I can do anything, please give us a chance."

"Shut up, who has allowed you to speak in front of the nobles?"

The priestess scolded the three boys sharply, but anyone could feel the love in it.

"What is the treasure you speak of?"

"Just. That's it..."

Trembling, the old witch pulled out a string of necklaces from her bosom. In the middle of the necklace was a jade hook made of jade.

"This is a treasure enshrined by our family. As long as it is there, it will not be harmed by ghosts. Even if you encounter a big monster unfortunately, the power inside is enough to resist the blow of the big monster..."

A Yuan glanced at the Gouyu, but compared to the Gouyu, she cared more about the information contained in the old witch's words just now.

——There are real ghosts and ghosts in this world, and they are not the kind of ghosts and ghosts that people imagined in legends, but there are real monsters, or real monsters that some people have actually encountered.

This is really...

After ninjas and self-defense groups with unimaginable powers, she came to a world with demons and ghosts. Ancient?

Although there were such things as the curse of the vengeful spirit in the era she lived in, there are very few youkai who act in a big way and have real bodies.

Occasionally, there are monsters that look like monsters, but are also summoned beasts created or summoned by mages, or "shikigami" of onmyojis.

Although it has been expected for a long time, the world probably will not go anywhere peacefully.

but……

She pursed her lips.

No, monsters are not the point yet.

She looked at the old witch and the three teenagers who were kneeling in front of her, still waiting for her response.

"When will the women's recruiting team you're talking about come?"

"Ah... eh?"

"It's not that I'll let you go." A Yuan squinted his eyes seeing their surprised eyes. "I will find time to settle this account in the future, but now I want to meet the Lord City Lord first."

"So, when are they coming?"
