Chapter 26 The NPC Clerk Who Came to Your Door

Alisal is 66 years old this year. As the oldest villager in Amut Village, she has witnessed all kinds of changes in the village, good, bad, and both good and not bad - of course, most of the time it is bad...

After all, the current planet is lingering under the erosion of the evil god, and the situation is getting worse year by year.

Both the lord and the people in the village have worked very hard, but over the past few decades, they still can't stop the villagers from becoming crazy and turning into monsters little by little, nor can they stop the hungry young people from embarking on the journey of seeking survival. A long way to go.

When she sat knitting in front of the fire every night, she would remember that when she was 5 years old, there were still many people living in this village.

Outside the village is a large green grassland. She will hold a slender branch and lead the family's most obedient shepherd dog Ade, and follow her favorite eldest brother to herd cattle and sheep on the hillside.

There were ten members of their family at that time. As the youngest daughter in the family, she had a cup of fresh hot milk every day. Every time she drank it, her eldest brother would laugh at the white beard around her mouth.

She still remembers the smell of green grass on the hillside, the softness of the dog's black and white hair, and the laughter of her brothers and sisters.

She also remembered that on a day without warning, the green grass outside the village withered overnight, strange vines grew all over the ground, the cattle and sheep knelt down because of hunger, and the smile on the eldest brother's face gradually disappeared, and the tentacles grew little by little. Climbing onto his skin... and then there were successive funerals and farewells. There were always people leaving, whether they were going to the distance or to another world.

Alisal has always stayed in this village. As the days passed, she gradually grew up, got married, and gave birth to children. She said goodbye to her son who went to work in the city, welcomed back her son's family of three, and sent her son away again...

Only this time, her son went to another world where he would never come back, and then his wife followed a stranger and left to marry far away... In the end, only her grandson Peter was left by her side.

She felt that the moment of departure was coming again. She watched as the lord appeared less and less often, and the alienation on his body became more and more serious, until half of his face was covered by tentacles.

——Are we going to lose another lord? she thought.

That's a pity. Moiwu is a very responsible and gentle lord who truly cares about his subjects. She didn't know what would happen to the people here if they lost their lord.

Maybe the Magic Federation will send another great magician over, or maybe the nobles in the main city will want to take over this county... But those are all too far away from her. She felt that she didn't need to worry about this. Before this barren land found its home again, she might follow the villagers here and the lord back to the earth and the sea of ​​consciousness of the planet.

But the lord opened the door of the tavern that night, and his alienation disappeared quietly. Those deformations, tentacles, and weird eyes all disappeared, as if they had never appeared in the first place.

Very good. she thought. The day of departure has not yet come.

She had almost forgotten what the lord's original face looked like. The current lord seemed to be a different person. Of course, he was still the same gentle and responsible person, but from time to time many new words and ideas would appear that she did not understand. Ah, then again, the lord is a great magician, and she doesn't understand a lot of the knowledge he talks about.

She only knew that the lord brought them enough food to eat, rescued the traveling merchants who had fallen into the illusion, and invited many strange adventurers from far and wide.

These weirdos used a language she could understand and spoke words she couldn't understand, such as plans, players, buffs, octopuses... She also knew that these adventurers were very powerful and could use a lot of magic. She even I also saw adventurers transforming from completely mutated bodies of the Evil God's kin back into human form at the entrance of the village...

But the strange thing is that these adventurers don't scare her. She can feel that these people are friendly and enthusiastic--of course, if they don't come to her house eight times a day to ask if they want to help her out for a walk, The sun would be even better.

She watched the lord transform the long-abandoned village hall into the Adventurer's Guild, and then watched as a black bulletin board was erected between the Adventurer's Guild and the Fountain Square - there was actually a roof to protect the rain from the top of the board - -The lord's great apprentice De Carlo would write the latest news on the board with white chalk, and then her grandson would rush home excitedly to tell her what new news the lord had announced...

"Grandma!" Peter opened the door, "Your Majesty the Lord asked us to go to the Adventurer's Guild at noon, and his adventurers will give us a free purification."

"Purification? Like the mass of the Church of Light?" Alyssa asked.

"It should be about the same." Peter said, "The church's itinerant priest has not been to our village for three years. Although we are very careful to only eat food sold by traveling merchants and use amnesia powder, the scales on my neck It has been expanding in the past few years... I heard that the adventurers invited by the lord this time are some kind of druids, and they have the power to purify pollution. They purified a lot of meat yesterday, and the oven at Uncle Delka's house was used day and night. Never stopped.”

"Ah, the smell of roasted rabbit is really tempting." Grandma Alyssa nodded.

"Yes!" Pete seemed to recall the domineering aroma and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. "The lord also said that he would open a butcher shop. Now the adventurers are repairing the empty house next to the grocery store! Grandma, the lord is recruiting store managers and employees. Let's apply!"

"We?" Grandma Alishaer asked doubtfully, "Child, you go, grandma is old."

"Grandma, no one in the village has heard of this news yet." Pete said, "I heard it from the adventurers who were building the wall. Aunt Rosa and Uncle Alles have their own shops. Recently, adventurers have been eating and drinking in the tavern, and Clover is too busy working in the tavern.

"While they don't know yet, let's apply now. You will be the store manager and be responsible for sitting behind the counter to knit and manage the accounts. I will do the physical work of collecting and selling meat. In this way, we can get two salaries and we can eat uncontaminated meat every day!"

"Let's go." Grandma Alishaer stood up from the rocking chair without hesitation, "Where to apply? "

"In the Adventurer's Guild."

Pete carried Grandma Alisha on his back and ran to the Adventurer's Guild. When they arrived, DeCarlo was writing a recruitment notice with white chalk in front of the bulletin board. Pete put Grandma down and rushed to grab his hand: "No need to write! Grandma Alisha and I are applying for the manager and employee of the butcher shop."

"Ah?" DeCarlo blinked, "How did you know that a butcher shop was going to open? I haven't even finished writing the recruitment notice..."

Pete couldn't understand why such a silly guy like DeCarlo could be accepted as an apprentice by the great magician Moyiwu: "No need to write, just recruit the two of us."

"Eh...but...?" The silly roe deer DeCarlo was still staring at him blankly.
