But now, too, he peeped out of the window out of curiosity.

In the quadrangular windows emitting lavender light, a row of strange numbers composed of straight lines and curved lines appeared.

Although Eugeo could understand the numbers written in these ancient sacred characters, he was forbidden to actually write them.

"Hmm..." Eugeo pointed to them one by one to confirm, and then read out the numbers with his mouth.

"23...five thousand, 490 one..."

"Ah... how much was last month?"

"I remember it was... around 23."

"........."

After hearing Eugeo's words, the corners of Zero's mouth twitched slightly.

Kirito immediately raised his hands in an exaggerated motion, and knelt down on the ground.Then he tousled the black hair with his fingers.

"It's only reduced by 23! After two months of hard work, it has reduced more than 50 by a mere [-]! If this continues, there is no way to cut down this tree in this life!"

"Please, it's impossible in the first place!" Eugeo could only reply with a wry smile.

"The six generations of lumberjacks before us worked hard for 300 years to finally reduce the number by a quarter... Rough calculations, it should take another 900 generations, that is, about another [-] years to complete."

"Okay, just do it slowly, and there is no rush." ​​Zero shrugged.

"I~say~you~ah~" Kirito, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, raised his head and gave Zero a hard look: "It's fine if Eugeo has such a good temper, but you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes Betrayed!"

As he spoke, he suddenly threw himself down on the tree, pinching his face with an inexplicable smile on his face——

Not to be outdone, Zero raised his hand and grabbed Kirito's cheek.

At this time, Eugeo came to the two of them helplessly: "Okay, okay, you two, if you don't work anymore—"

"Fall down you!"

The two people on the ground picked up at the same time and threw Eugeo to the ground as well.

The three of them were fighting like this.

suddenly--

"Hey! You three are being lazy again!"

The movements of the three of them stopped for a moment at the same time.

She shrank her neck and looked towards the source of the sound.

On the rock a little far away, there was indeed a figure with his hands on his waist and his chest puffed out.A twitching smile appeared on Eugeo's face, and he said to that person:

"Ha... hello, Alice. It's such an early day."

"It's not early at all, it's the same time as usual." The figure raised its chin arrogantly, and the long hair tied on both sides of the head immediately shone dazzlingly under the sunlight passing through the gaps in the leaves.

A girl wearing a bright blue skirt and a white apron just jumped down from the rock with such dexterous movements, and she still held a large rattan basket in her right hand.

The girl's name was Alice Ziberuk.As the daughter of the village chief, she is 11 years old like Zero, Eugeo, and Kirito.

Chapter 350 Two Fantasy Chapters - Taboo Index

According to regulations, all children living in the northern border area, including Rulid Village, will be given a [vocation] when they are ten years old and start practicing this kind of work, but Alice is the only exception.

She is still teaching at the church school.In order for her to give full play to the best sacred arts talents among the village children, she is receiving individual lessons from Sister Azalia at school.

Although the girl is both talented and the daughter of the village chief, the impoverished village of Rulid cannot afford to keep an 11-year-old girl in school all day long.

As long as there is still energy here, people have to work. If they don't fight back desperately to fight off the sunshine, rainy season, and insect pests that continue to reduce the fate of crops or livestock——

That is [Dark God Vecta's Prank], it will be very difficult for the villagers to survive the severe winter safely.

Eugeo's family, whose ancestors were farmers for generations, owned a vast wheat field in the south of the village. Although his father was happy when he heard that the third son, Eugeo, was selected as the lumberjack of Gigas Cedar, his heart should be because of It is a pity that one person is missing.

Of course, the treasury in the village will still pay the lumberjack's salary to Eugeo's family, but the fact that there is one less man in the field has not changed.

According to the custom, each head son will probably be given the same vocation as the father.

If it is a farming family, the daughter, the second son, and the third son will basically inherit.The prop shop owner's child will inherit the prop shop, the guard's son will become a guard, and the village chief's position will of course be inherited by his offspring.

Relying on such a tradition, Rulid Village has maintained a similar appearance for hundreds of years.

The adults all said that the village was able to maintain such a long-term peaceful life entirely thanks to the protection of God Stacia, but Eugeo felt a little indescribably suspicious of these words.

He just couldn't figure out if the adults really wanted to expand the village, or if they really just wanted to maintain the status quo.

If you really want to expand the farmland, you shouldn't bother with this troublesome big tree, and just open up the southern forest a little farther away.

However, even the most intelligent village head in the village never thought of changing some unfashionable practices in the village.

Therefore, no matter how many years there are in Rulid Village, it is still as impoverished. Alice, the village chief's daughter, can only attend school in the morning, and has to go home in the afternoon to take care of the livestock and clean the house.

Delivering food to Rei, Kirito and Eugeo is her first job every day.

Alice, with a rattan basket hanging on her right hand, deftly jumped down from the big rock.

Her dark blue eyes were still staring closely at the three who had stopped fighting.Just before her petite lips were about to utter the next sentence, Eugeo quickly stood up, shook his head and said:

"We're really not lazy! The work in the morning is over!" After he explained, Kirito and Zero immediately followed with "Yes, yes, that's right, that's right."

Alice glared at the two of them again with fierce eyes, and then showed a relaxed expression of "I can't stand you two".

"After finishing the work, you still have the strength to fight here. It seems that I should ask Grandpa Kalita to increase the number of times the three of you cut trees?"

"Please, please don't!"

"do not!"

"Are you a devil!?"

"Just kidding—come on, let's have a quick lunch. It's hot today and we need to eat the food before it spoils." Alice put the whole wicker basket on the ground and took out a large white cloth and snapped it open.

Today's lunch dishes include bacon, bean pie, black bread with cheese and bacon, several kinds of dried fruits, freshly squeezed milk in the morning, etc.

Although there are some foods with good preservation except for milk, the bright sun of July is still taking away the [destiny] of these dishes all the time.

The three of them sat neatly on the white cloth and just wanted to grab and eat, but Alice stopped them.

She quickly made seals in the air, and opened the [windows] of the dishes one by one, starting from the milk in the biscuit pot, to confirm their destiny.
