There is a small village near the entrance of every forest, and there may even be one inside the forest.

Before, Sean never understood why people in this world like to live in closed towns so much. After all, the productivity of this world is insufficient and the population is not that large. The huge land is enough to develop life. However, although a large number of people gather in the city, there is still another group of people who don’t want to get close to the city no matter what.

There are many small towns and villages like this. Transportation is inconvenient and there are only a few people in summer and autumn. Once winter comes, almost no one comes.

But after Sean became the Earl, more and more opinion polls made him discover the reason.

Although such a small town is far away from the market, it is stable enough.

Home!

It's nothing more than stability and warmth. Although many people keep complaining about their own rule, they also try their best to maintain their rule, because they all know that once something happens in Oro City, the stable life will probably be broken, especially when war comes.

Therefore, Sean felt from the beginning that it was meaningless for the revolutionary army to stay here. Within one or two years, there would not be many people with the same values ​​in the Oro region to join them!

Less than a year had passed since the events in Old Town Tacoma, and most people were holding their lives dear.

Sean led a team of more than 200 people to approach the village

The road was difficult to walk on, so we couldn't ride horses to the back part and had to walk with the horses. It took us a whole day until nightfall to reach the village.

Fortunately, the number of people he brought was small, otherwise if there were thousands of people, this village would probably not be able to accommodate them. Even two hundred people would have to stay in different hotels and many hotels did not have enough food. If he did not have money, he would not be able to buy it.

At night, Sean was eating alone on a chair in the center of the inn. Everyone else was around, but no one dared to sit with him because of their status. Latina wanted to come over, but the witches of the Wings of the Covering Sky looked at her coldly, while Karyana and the others were watched by Aslant and other guards. Having a good relationship is one thing, but in Oro City there must be due order. No one can sit opposite the Earl unless their status is equal.

Sean had never thought that these groups of people would form a tacit understanding of mutual restraint.

A dozen people sat around him, and the only sound he could hear was the clatter of plates.

The atmosphere made the hotel owner feel depressed

But they didn't dare to ask the reason. After all, a group of more than 200 people arrived at the same time in winter, and many people were somewhat worried.

At this moment, the door of the store suddenly opened

The sound of wind and snow suddenly became louder.

A mother and son walked in wearing large coats. They were stunned to see so many people in the hotel. It took them a long time to recover and walked towards the manager with doubts.

"Uncle, we want to buy some refried beans."

"Oh. Okay, but there aren't many left today. How about one bowl?" The owner finally reacted.

The boy glanced at his mother behind him and she nodded.

"OK."

What they bought was actually mashed potatoes, which were cooked and then fried. It is a staple food for many people in the countryside! The finances of the Oro region are managed by Luke, but the subordinate Diwala family is the main agricultural family in the Oro region. In the past six months, I haven't heard of any place starving to death. However, in winter, many people still buy food from outside and keep it at home as food storage.

It’s just that poor people are everywhere. They can eat enough but not necessarily well!

While the owner went to get something, the mother and son stood there waiting, but the little boy couldn't sit still but didn't dare to go to other people around, so he walked up to her instead.

I saw Aslant trying to stand up but was stopped by Sean.

The favorability level is friendly, which means that the two are ordinary citizens in their territory.

Looking at the meat in his bowl, his face was full of desire!

"Want to eat?" Sean said suddenly.

The little boy was stunned for a moment and wanted to run back to his mother, but the temptation of the meat smell made him stop.

"I'm sorry, sir. My child is young and ignorant."

"It's okay. I just said that this piece of meat can be given to him."

Giving alms to the poor is not uncommon, and most people don't refuse. After hearing this, the mother began to bow repeatedly to express her gratitude to Sean.

"But can you tell me something?" Sean took out a roasted chicken leg from the plate and placed it in front of the little boy, who kept nodding.

"Has anything happened in the mountains recently?" Sean asked.

Although I have been asking my subordinates to inquire, sometimes different groups of people give different answers, especially in tempting situations.

The little boy thought about it, and finally his mother spoke first.

"It seems like nothing's happened in the forest lately, sir. It seems the snow is so deep this year that it might be inconvenient to go into the mountains. There's a small village in the mountains, and some people came down there a few days ago. Are you planning to go into the mountains?"

Sean looked at her and was silent for a moment.

Adults sometimes choose to say things about sex that have nothing to do with them and are beneficial to them. This sentence is also the most received message today.

"Bird!"

The little boy suddenly said.

"Birds have been flying out of the forest frequently recently." His eyes were full of desire for chicken legs.

Animals?

Sean thought about it.

"Very good, your information is enough for you to get a reward." After handing the chicken leg to the little boy, the owner also got the things he brought. The mother and son quickened their pace and left the hotel. When they reached the door, they could still hear the mother scolding the little boy.

Everything in the hotel returned to normal

"The Earl has a really bad taste. He even lies to children." Karyana said coldly.

"I didn't lie to him. I just told him not to always wait for handouts. Instead, he should use his own abilities in exchange for some interesting information!" Sean said, looking at the other party.

"Master Sean is amazing!"

Probably no matter what I say, Latina will think it's okay. As long as my personality doesn't collapse, this fangirl will probably be like this for a short time!

However, these words made the girls of the Sky-covering Wings feel disgusted and looked at each other coldly, but Latina didn't seem to care.

"At least he told us that even animals are fleeing the center of the forest. Ascalante told the brothers to rest early tonight. We will head into the mountains early tomorrow morning. It would be best if we could resupply in the village in the mountains."

"Yes, sir."

Ascalante replied.
