Chapter 73: Village Rice Lake

"Vremya, you must not be impulsive."

"Don’t worry Sister Ragna, I can see everything with my eyes."

Ragna said behind me when I arrived with the other girls and Destan.

From the moment I opened my eyes in the blank space and fixed my gaze on the two people two hundred meters away, I could tell that the big person was hurt.

Although the wound was not an emergency, no one could be so calm with so much inner damage, and the old woman would surely die if she did not receive medical treatment.

"Can you tell us what happened and why you are on the way to the Capital City?" I turned my attention back to the old lady as I placed the palm of my hand over the little boy’s hair.

"Greetings Noble Warriors. This old lady’s name is Leonore, and I am the Village Chief of the Rice Lake Village, and this is my little grandson Lion."

The old woman presented herself with a light ceremony that, although orthodox, seems a little crude.

"Rice Lake Village?"

"Hmm, according to the map the school gave us, there is no town with that name..."

"On the map that Vremya’s mother gave us, it is marked here, look..."

Magen, Xifia and Dianeira took out two scrolls and spread it out, they were the two maps we had for the quest, one is provided by the Royal Academy, the director gave it to Ragna for the mission. The other one is the one I brought from home, since Mom had sent people to make the map and mark all the points, apparently, even a small town was marked on Mom’s map.

"Our town does not appear on official maps since it is a small village with just over twenty-five families. The name of the village may not be official, but it is so called because our families grow rice with the help of a lake..."

The old woman began to introduce her town and tell what had happened.

It seems that a group of bandits arrived at the village in the morning of today demanding food and gold coins. I was surprised; it’s the first time I’ve heard of gold coins.

"Crystal coins are mostly used in large cities, although their use is rare in small towns and villages since they do not have artifacts that need the energy crystallized in coins to function, most of the farm tools work by the force of animals such as bulls and pack horses. Although trading with crystal coins may be better, there are still people who use old gold coins or other materials to trade..."

On the side, Dianeira explained to me the use of gold coins in a low voice. After thinking about it, it is normal that the use of crystal coins is not so popular in distant places, perhaps other kingdoms do not even use them.

According to Dianeira, one gold coin can be equal to 10 white crystal coins. A white crystal coin can run a stove for a week. So a gold coin can make a stove work for two and a half months; of course, you must buy coal with that coin to make the stove work.

"... The leader of the bandits gave us a day to gather gold and food, that was in the morning, even though I am wounded, I preferred to take the risk and run to the Capital City to ask for help. I didn’t trust the bandit leader, I know that even if we give him the gold and food they will kill the whole village."

"Grandma..."

The old woman patted the little boy on the back to comfort him. Apparently, the villagers tried to defend themselves from the bandits’ attack at first, but lost, many were injured, and others were directly killed.

The bandit leader let the old woman live so that she could pay, because if the village chief died, they would receive nothing.

"Vremya! We can’t allow this injustice; Let’s go to Rice Lake Village YOOOOO!"

"Magen, this is not our mission"

"But Xifia, can you leave knowing that a village is about to be exterminated? Don’t we study to fight against the evils that invade our world YOO!?"

"YES! Vremya Group Leader, we can’t leave the people of a village in danger alone!"

Destan, I understand, but don’t give me that look...

"... The group of bandits may be the same..."

"The group of bandits may be the same as the one in our Quest, we must investigate"

"... ugh~"

Dianeira stole the moment and the words of Tikshna, who was embarrassed, hehe

"hehe~ Tikshna is right. They may be the same group of bandits, and even if it wasn’t... in the report I will put that it may be a clue..."

"Vremya~" Tikshna looked at me with big, watery eyes.

"So everything is decided?" Ragna, standing with her arms crossed over her C-cup breasts, said when she saw that we had all made up our minds.

As a guardian guide, she will not prevent any of the decisions we make during the mission, it will only act if problems appear that we cannot solve. But she will definitely make a report...

"Well, Old Leonore, don’t worry, we are students of the Royal Academy, and we are on a bandit hunting quest. This strong girl here is Ragna from the Visindamadur family and is one of the top ten of the best and strongest students of the Royal Academy, so you can leave this matter to us!"

"Visindamadur? The National Guard Family? That’s good, our village is saved."

"HUAHUAHUAHUA~ don’t worry old lady, nothing will happen if I’m here!" Ragna, after listening to my praise and that of old Leonore, began to laugh proudly and raised her chin to heaven.

"Great! Hunting bandits YOOO~"

"Take them into the shadows"

Magen and the ever-silent Kara seem to be the most enthusiastic.

After guiding Leonore and little Lion to board the carriage, Ragna took the reins again and led the Red Horses of a Horn back onto the road.

According to the map, Mom’s map, the small town of Leonore is close to where we should take the first break. Although there are a few hours of detour, it does not affect our general itinerary.

And the probability that it is the same group of bandits from the quest is high, according to Leonore’s story, the leader’s strength seems to be at the level of Summoner Warrior, which is the same in the mission report that Director Roselle gave us.

Although Leonore took hours from the morning to reach our location, she did so on foot and when she had serious internal injuries. Then, with our speed with the Red One-Horned Horses we will reach Rice Lake village before nightfall.

On the way, when the sun had already been going down for some time, after reaching its highest point in the sky, we got ready to eat in the carriage without stopping it.

Since Aunt Odalis and Amalia had prepared a lot of food, I took out some of it for us all to eat. Thanks to my high-quality backpack, food looks as if it has just been prepared and cooked.

I divided the lunch boxes among everyone and also gave a box to Lion and Leonore. Although the elder Leonore said no at first and that she was carrying dry food for trips, with my words about health and the need for nutrients for little Lion to grow healthy and strong, she had only to accept the boxes of food.

So, as we ate and the carriage drove forward, Leonore told us little history about her village, as one of the few villages that is entirely dedicated to rice farming and provides a large amount of rice per year, but even so, it was still a small town with only a few families.

Rice Lake village is not under the rule of any noble family but is affiliated with the Blue Crystal Grass village.

"Then why didn’t you go directly to Blue Crystal Grass Village?" Xifia asked

"Although we are affiliated under the administration of the Blue Crystal Grass Village, the distance is farther, I could have reached the Royal Capital in one day, while to reach the Blue Crystal Grass Village would have taken me two days." Leonore replied with regret.

And even if Leonore went to the Blue Crystal Grass Village, which lies in the opposite direction, perhaps it would be more difficult for her to call for help. Even if the bandits had given her more time, Blue Crystal Grass Village itself had already requested a bandit-hunting mission to the Imperial City!

After another half day of travel, we finally got to see Leonore and Lion’s village. Little Lion had a smile on his face.

When I used my eyes to investigate the distance and find the grandmother and grandson, I could tell that there was a genius-level talent in little Lion’s body.

Although he is only six years old, and it is not recommended for children to do systematic exercise at such a young age, I can help him by giving him my family’s cultivation method and providing potions, and body tempering pills.

By the time little Lion is eleven years old and holds his summoning ceremony, at that time he can create a bond with a great spirit and be born as a great Summoning Warrior.

In addition, with what Leonore told us about Lion’s parents, she gives me more reasons to give him a scholarship. I’ll write a letter to Mom before I go to sleep and tell her about my idea of recruiting Lion and placing the family flag in Leonore’s village.
