Chapter 67

~9 min read 1,757 words

Upper Fire Month, July 6th.

The light near evening was far from the scorching heat of noon.

Enri bent over, lowered her head, carefully pushed aside the wheat stalks, stepped on the weeds growing to the side with her feet, and pulled the weeds out with both hands.

Sweat dripped down her cheeks and neck.

Seeing the pile of green weeds that had already accumulated to a certain amount on the side, Enri picked up all the weeds and walked toward the outside along the path in the wheat field.

After walking out of the wheat field and piling the weeds on the outermost path.

Only then did Enri straighten her back, raise her still-clean arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and let out a light breath.

The sweat all over her body made her clothes stick to her, and combined with the fatigue, it made one want to hide in a cool place and have a good sleep.

Can't be lazy.

Enri looked at the wheat field in front of her, golden but still interspersed with a few green embellishments, especially smelling the slight wheat fragrance in the air, her mood improved a lot, and even the fatigue disappeared a little.

"In another half a month, it will be the harvest season."

"The tax collector should come at that time, once a year, the other party is always very punctual."

Enri spoke in a low voice, somewhat complaining; although her expression was full of fatigue, she still radiated a sense of vitality.

"Enri? Are you here alone?"

A voice of surprise and astonishment came from the path of the wheat field.

It was Auntie Aimeibei's voice.

Enri turned around and saw Auntie Aimeibei and several other women from the village returning to the village with full loads of weeds on their backs.

"Auntie."

Enri hurriedly bent slightly and spoke, then added: "Father and Uncle Laqimong went into the forest to pick medicinal herbs, and Mother still has to look after my sister, so I came by myself."

"It's just weeding some weeds, I can do it myself." Enri said shyly.

"Truly amazing."

"It's still very hard to be alone; if you need anything, just speak up."

"............"

Voices of praise came from among the women.

"In another half a month, the tax collector will come."

"Yes, speaking of which. A lot of outsiders have come to the village during this time."

"I heard they are all adventurers, a group of rude and nasty guys."

"Not all adventurers are like that; the young man with black hair from a month ago, the village chief said he was also an adventurer, and he even gave money before leaving, and he looked quite handsome too."

"Hee hee, what are you thinking about at such an age."

"Get lost, get lost, so what if I think about it, I heard that noble ladies in the city will keep a few... heh."

"Adventurers make a lot of money, right?"

Watching the women gradually walk away, especially hearing those faintly spicy words, Enri breathed a sigh of relief with slightly red cheeks.

Black-haired young man?

Enri also had an impression; after all, the village was not big, and if there was any commotion, everyone would know it immediately.

She had peeked out from the window, but it was already dark at the time, and she couldn't see what he looked like at all.

Adventurers should all be very powerful people.

This thought flashed through Enri's mind, and then she shook her head.

People from two different worlds.

Piling all the weeds she had pulled out on the ground together, picking up a rope, and spending quite a bit of effort, Enri finally tied these weeds together.

Turning her back and pulling hard.

Enri carried it on her back, stood firm, and returned toward the direction of the village.

The amount of weeds was somewhat large.

Enri's head was covered by the weeds, and she could only see the ground under her feet, but this didn't affect her at all; she was already too familiar with this road.

What's more, the location of this wheat field was right on the edge of the village, not far away.

"You can't see the road like this."

"Do you need help?"

Suddenly, a somewhat gentle and unfamiliar voice sounded from the front.

"I can do it myself." Enri said subconsciously, carrying the pile of weeds.

But the next moment, she reacted.

Such an unfamiliar voice, not someone from the village.

"Awoo." A low roar like some kind of wild beast followed immediately after.

Enri was startled; because her vision of the front was blocked by the weeds, she already lacked a sense of security, and hearing the low roar of a stranger and a beast,

She couldn't help but straighten up.

The weight of the weeds shifted backward instantly, causing her center of gravity to lose balance, and she fell down uncontrollably.

"Ah!"

Enri let out an exclamation.

Fortunately, the pile of weeds was soft, and she didn't get hurt falling on it.

Bang!

"Awoo..."

That beast seemed to have been kicked.

"Don't bark randomly, it's easy to scare others." The gentle voice continued to come.

Enri reached out to rub her shoulder, and only then did she raise her head to look at the opposite side.

That was a young man wearing a black robe, who didn't look very old, and what was more conspicuous was his black hair.

The hair on both sides had passed his earlobes and looked a bit long, but it didn't look messy, and the other party was looking at her with some apology.

Enri's shoulder twitched, and she shivered inexplicably, her nape feeling a bit cold, but this feeling disappeared in an instant, as if it were an illusion.

Immediately after.

Enri saw the Evil Spirit Dog standing beside the black-haired young man, looking fierce, with bone chains moving on its body.

"Monster!"

Enri's face turned pale instantly.

Although she had never seen an Evil Spirit Dog, the appearance of the Evil Spirit Dog was clearly not an ordinary wild beast.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you."

=9+Shu_ba

Tang Zheng saw Enri's panicked look, walked up, and comforted her helplessly.

Enri heard Tang Zheng's words and discovered that the little Evil Spirit Dog indeed had no aggressive behavior, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"I, I'm sorry."

Enri's cheeks turned red, and she hurriedly stood up, speaking in a panic.

She had already remembered that the black-haired young man before her was the one who had appeared in the village a month ago.

Although she hadn't seen the other party's appearance, the voice couldn't be wrong.

Especially when thinking of the topics the aunties in the village had been discussing in private just now, Enri's cheeks turned even redder.

"It is I who should apologize for scaring you just now."

Tang Zheng waved his hand lightly, turned his head to look at the Evil Spirit Dog behind him, and pointed to the pile of weeds: "Little Black."

"Awoo."

The Evil Spirit Dog's back shook, and the black bone chains wrapped around its body quickly extended.

The tail of the chain curled up the rope binding the pile of weeds, tightened suddenly, lifted the pile of weeds off the ground, and then placed it on its own back.

"So amazing."

"This... no need, I can do it myself." Enri widened her eyes, then reacted, hurriedly waving her hands, and at the same time said worriedly:

"So many weeds, it will crush it."

After all, the little Evil Spirit Dog's size was really much smaller compared to the pile of weeds she had pulled.

Its body was completely covered.

It looked like a pile of weeds that could move by itself.

"It doesn't matter, just consider it an apology for scaring you just now." Tang Zheng said, "Don't look at its small size; it is a monster beast after all, and its stamina and endurance are no worse than an adult's."

After speaking.

Tang Zheng had no intention of continuing the conversation, signaled the little Evil Spirit Dog to follow, and walked toward the direction of Carne Village together.

Enri stood stunned in place, her somewhat rough hands nervously pinching the corners of her clothes a few times, and then quickly followed.

It's just that.

Enri didn't dare to walk side-by-side with Tang Zheng, but fell a few steps behind, following behind with her head lowered.

Enri, huh.

Tang Zheng felt Enri following behind him, his gaze flickering slightly.

The last time he came to Carne Village, because he was in a hurry to level up, he only stayed for one night and left early the next morning, so he didn't see Enri.

He didn't expect to run into her here unexpectedly this time; she was much more immature compared to the future.

Who could have thought.

This young girl from a small border village would become one of the top figures in this world in the future.

Overlord!

Or it could also be called the Overlord General.

Enri's first use of the "Goblin General's Horn" only summoned an ordinary Goblin squad.

But the second time, it triggered a hidden effect, blowing out a Goblin army of 5,000 people at once.

This army had eight full legions; besides the guard unit, the remaining seven legions each had a legion commander with hero-level (≥29lv) strength.

And the guard unit only had 13 people, each with an average level of (43lv), the so-called Thirteen Red Caps!

Among them, there was also a Goblin strategist who commanded the entire legion, whose level even reached (51lv).

And Enri, who possessed this legion, could be said to have the strength to crush surrounding countries if she wanted to.

Being able to easily possess such a legion, even Tang Zheng was slightly envious.

Besides.

Enri relied on herself to awaken command-type classes like "General" and "Commander" in the back, which showed that she indeed had some talent in this area.

Tang Zheng thought of this, and his heart moved.

Four-plus years is not long, not short; besides leveling up, in other aspects, perhaps it was indeed necessary to make some arrangements.

Before, his strength was too weak.

Now with his strength, at least an adventurer squad above "Mythril-rank" could pose a threat to him, or experts at the level of the current stage's Nail Clipper or the Warrior Captain.

Dealing with hero-level experts was still a bit lacking.
