Poverty Alleviation Princess

After leaving the area that A Yuan took over, the scenery became barren and dark again.

Probably because of neglect of management or simply regardless of the three areas, although they are adjacent to each other, they give people a completely different feeling and experience.

Not only did the road start to become rough, but even the cries of monsters or ferocious beasts began to sound from the mountains and forests on both sides.Coupled with the overcast sky covered with dark clouds, it creates an atmosphere that makes people tense up unconsciously-as if something will rush out anytime, anywhere.

But the people present at this time are veterans in various senses, so they are not scared by this small scene.

It's just that as the road conditions deteriorated, the carriage gradually became bumpy, and it was impossible to chat while eating and drinking as before.

In addition, eating in a carriage is not as smooth and enjoyable as in a car and plane, so it is better to concentrate on talking about plans.

For example, the study plan during this period, and the plan to use the jade of the four souls to catch monsters and bring more jade of the four souls.

The former may not be able to help much with tutoring because A Yuan has been away from school for too long, but it is not a problem to help make a study plan.

As for the latter... Although she has not actually operated the jade of the four souls, she has had similar work experience, so it shouldn't be a big problem to follow the gourd.

The theoretical plan is actually very simple. It is to attract enough monsters to screen out the available types and required information, and then let the selected monsters work for themselves according to the information. The monsters will bring more information. Clues or directly bring back the fragments of the jade of the four souls.

And they can use more and more jades of the four souls to catch more monsters. As long as the snowball rolls, it is only a matter of time to collect all the jades of the four souls.

As for the actual operation... because they don't know enough about youkai, something may go wrong, but as long as Madara can hold it steady, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Coral and Master Maitreya are both monster agents, and Inuyasha, a half-monster who also has a certain understanding of monsters, as long as they control the scene in time, they can always come up with a way to deal with it.

As for Merlin...

A Yuan didn't count him in the battle sequence from the beginning.

Maybe it's the sixth sense or a woman's intuition. She thinks that this person will never take the initiative to intervene to help until the stage of being forced.

Even if he asks, it is unknown how much he can exert.

Instead of metaphysically expecting the other party to recognize strength, it is better to put people out of the plan at the beginning, so as to save the chain from being lost at critical moments.

——Let’s discuss it with Madara when it’s finished.

A Yuan quickly sorted out the thinking of the two things.

However, no matter which one it was, Higure Kagome, the person involved, was dumbfounded and speechless.

Let’s not talk about why you need to learn while traveling (at least you can learn it after you settle down?), let’s talk about using the jade of the four souls to catch monsters to work.

They are already exhausted just thinking about preventing the jade of the four souls from being snatched by the monsters. They have to find ways to cover up the aura of the jade of the four souls at ordinary times, for fear of attracting the attention of monsters, especially the big monsters from all walks of life. .

Using the Jade of the Four Souls as bait, if she has the power of Kikyo, maybe she can have some ideas, but she is just an ordinary female student with the power of purification.

It's not that I'm tired of work, how could I be so overwhelmed.If someone else said that, she would definitely think that the other party had ulterior motives and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate them.

However, looking at the way His Royal Highness said so clearly...

The girl swallowed unconsciously.

Why did she feel that it might be possible?

"Where are you from? That's really hard work." In front of the old counter, with a delicate appearance and a slender figure, the soft and weak young proprietress blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the old lady with concern. Traveler in front of him.

The concern of young and beautiful women is often the most attractive to men, but this time the young boss's glances seem to be given to the blind man.

Several men were busy, and the only mage who seemed to want to come over was dragged away by another woman by the collar.Only a few girls younger than her were left at the counter.

Although their clothes were not patched, they were not made of particularly gorgeous materials—probably the appearance of girls who followed their families out to see the world.

After all, in this era, ladies hardly go out unless necessary.

The ones who stayed in front of the counter and chatted with the proprietress were naturally A Yuan and the other three.In order to make themselves less conspicuous, they all changed into ordinary clothes that are more common in this era.

In particular, A Yuan, who has been asking questions here and there, vividly displayed the image of a little girl from a good family background and not deep in the world.

"Are there any monsters here?"

"Where are the other guests?"

"Do you know Renjiancheng? How long have you been running a shop here? Been a proprietress for so many years, how old are you?"

"Demon, monster?" The corner of the landlady's mouth twitched - most people would not have time to hear a monster run away, but where did the strange child come to ask about the monster.

"Yeah, monsters—thunder-throwing monsters, long-necked monsters, or monsters that look like magnified bugs, what kind of monsters do you have here?"

A Yuan asked very seriously, she was serious about collecting information for her plan.After all, they were still counting on the monsters to help them collect the jade of the four souls.

However, the proprietress couldn't understand her painstaking efforts, she kept throwing out one question after another, and the charming and slender lady proprietress almost didn't stretch her weak personality when she asked.Seeing that other people just let the girl ask around like this, and even stopped several handymen in the shop intentionally or unintentionally for the convenience of her asking, she finally gave up the idea of ​​letting others come to rescue her.

After a few random explanations, he managed to hold up a smile:

"What monsters are not monsters? We have been operating here for so many years and have not encountered any monsters. Everyone must be tired after walking this way. Go to rest early. Call us if you need anything."

"Although we don't have particularly famous specialties and scenery here, the house is still very good, safe and clean, and guests can rest assured here."

"Safe?" Hearing this word, A Yuan blinked, "Didn't you just say that you have never met a monster here?"

On the go, yokai are the no1 threat beyond bandits and deserters.When it comes to safety, most of them also include the fact that there are no monsters.

The face of the proprietress changed for an instant, and she pressed her slender fingers hard on the table under the counter, and the veins on the back of her hands stretched.She took a few deep breaths before opening her mouth again: "Yes... it means that there are no bandits or deserters here. Aren't travelers afraid of encountering these when they are outside?"

"So it's just for safety, the monsters may still attack?"

"The guest is really joking." Although the proprietress was laughing, there was no smile in her eyes at all, and the soft and weak expression did not know when it became a little ferocious. "The room is ready, please follow them up."

Although Ah Yuan still had more to say, seeing that the other party no longer wanted to pay attention to him, he didn't insist.He turned his head and walked to the room on the second floor with the relieved people behind him.

Except for the road and scenery behind, the journey on the first day was smooth—maybe it was because the guards outside seemed unfriendly, and the cat Mica was running back and forth. Help drive away little monsters, not to mention monsters, not even deserters and bandits.

If it is an ordinary traveler, this expansion is of course the best.

It's just that for A Yuan who has a plan, it seems too calm.

"His Royal Highness."

After leaving the sight of the proprietress, Fujimaru Tatsuka approached A Yuan and tugged her sleeve a little.

"what?"

"Don't you think something is wrong here?" Fujimaru Tachika, who has experienced many things, scanned the surrounding environment vigilantly. At first, she didn't say that it was because she was too close to the proprietress, and she was worried that she would be heard by the other party.

Especially the proprietress's unkind expression when she was asked all kinds of straightforward questions by the city lord.It's really not suitable for conversation.

But this store, no matter how you look at it, seems weird.

Whether it's the location of the store, or the frail proprietress who runs the store alone in such a place, or this building as an inn...

Fujimaru Tachika has been to many places and has seen various customs and customs in different times and places.Although I didn't deliberately study it, I also built a lot of architectural styles.

From the caves where refugees lived, to the houses of ordinary people, to the temples and palaces of the same era.

Gray and white flat exterior walls, beams made of high-quality wood and exquisite eaves corridors...

Although it has a somewhat old and dilapidated atmosphere because it is under maintenance, but as an ordinary hotel, this place is a bit too luxurious.

"Are you referring to the proprietress who pretends to be a [-]-year-old girl, or this building that looks more like a mansion in another courtyard?" A Yuan looked at the surrounding environment casually, but rarely spit out sharp words from his mouth. words.

"...Have you noticed it?"

Higurashi Kagome also chimed in.She also felt that there was something weird here, but she also felt that it was not the time to speak just now, so she didn't speak.

Walking to the second floor, A Yuan observed the rooms on both sides while replying: "The proprietress's salivation is too obvious."

Almost as soon as a few men came in, their eyes wouldn't roll.

When Madara stood in front, the eyeballs seemed to be glued to him.

It is not the longing and appreciation of seeing a good-looking person, nor is it purely a woman's liking for a man.

But a salivating and inevitable confidence.

If she didn't notice such an obvious weirdness, she would really be blinded for nothing.In the past, although Madara was feared by many people because of his vicious reputation, there were also people who appreciated and liked him.

It's just that he probably didn't notice it himself...or didn't care if he did.

There are many people who are interested in him among them, but there is no such sticky and dirty feeling in those eyes.

——Even when she was probing, her eyes wandered to him from time to time.

As if afraid that he would run away.

"That woman is obviously staring at us. Even if we turn our heads and leave, she will definitely find a way to follow." She opened a door casually, and nodded secretly looking at the clean environment inside—it seemed A place where you can sleep for one night, "Instead of sleeping in the wild and being harassed by her, it's better to see what she wants to do."

Seeing the thoughtful looks of the two, she showed her friendly smile in the past that gave the impression of being easy to talk to: "If the fish is delivered to your door, wouldn't we save ourselves the effort of finding fish and then fishing?"

The author has something to say: Ah Yuan, an expert fisherman, began to distribute bait.

The battlefield rose may become the strongest bait in history (?)
