Safiya was also quite surprised by the series of changes in Owens. After hearing De Lassel's explanation, she became furious.

"You have magic, why didn't you use it in the battle last night? You got yourself hurt so badly, you're such a fool!"

"This... I... oh, shit."

After telling a lie, you have to make up countless new lies. It’s so damn tiring.

De Lassel was in pain all over at the moment, and his brain was not working that fast, so he could only say "Fuck" perfunctorily.

Seeing how weak De Lassel looked, Safiya felt a little distressed.

“But you were ambushed and injured because you accompanied me to Norma Village.

I will take good care of you, and you need to get well soon, as we have to go back to Uxhall."

After saying that, Safiya peeled the grapes and fed them to De Lassel.

"Isn't this the bunch of grapes I gave you in Xico Village?"

"Of course not! It would have gone bad long ago. God, you are so stupid."

Safiya was amused by De Lassel's words. She didn't expect that such a brave and combative man would occasionally have such a little sense of humor.

"By the way, where am I lying?"

"We are at the home of the chief of Norma village, and the chief recognized you as the lord here." Safiya replied.

"Owens, call the village chief over here."

Owens nodded respectfully, "As you command, my lord."

Looking at Owens' tall and strong figure leaving and his vigorous walk, De Lacelle couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This kid has become too strong after this upgrade. He will definitely be more reliable in the future.

About five minutes later, the village chief arrived.

"Your Excellency Count De La Serre, our Lord, hello, I am the mayor of Norma Village."

"Village chief, I may need to rest in your house for three to five days before I can recover and get out of bed. During these few days, I would like to trouble you to provide us with food and drinking water for free, because I don't have much money. Of course, in return, what can I do for you?"

"Count De La Serre, you are the lord here, we should provide food and drinking water for free! Our current living environment is pretty good, Norma is also relatively prosperous and wealthy, and we don't need your help yet."

At this point, Safia suddenly had a good idea.

"Dlassel, let's build a watchtower and a training ground here. This way, when the enemy comes, the watchtower can alert us in advance, and if we are in Uxhall in the future, we can also come to support us in advance. As for the training ground, we can let them train on their own and strengthen their weapons to protect their homes."

De La Serre thought it sounded good, but shook his head.

"Safiyya, your idea is great. It can be said that it is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. However, we don't have that much money. It will definitely cost a lot to build a watchtower and a training ground."

"Then go make money!"

"Oh, it's not like you can just make money..."

De Lassel was about to retort, and the two were about to start an argument, when suddenly the system lit up.

[New mission…]

De La Serre quickly responded in his heart:

Wait a minute, system, you don't really want me to build a watchtower and a training ground, do you?

【Don't interrupt. 】

[New mission, build a watchtower and a training ground for the Norma village. ]

[System prompt: One watchtower costs 1,000 dinars, and one training ground costs 1,000 dinars.]

After a moment of silence, De La Serre said:

"Safiyya, you are right, let's work hard to earn money to build a watchtower and a training ground."

Seeing that De Lassel listened to her so much, Safiya felt warm in her heart and looked at him playfully and cutely.

"That's right, that's right. How much money do you think we need to make? I'll help too~"

"Well, I heard Owens tell me before that a watchtower costs about 1,500 dinars. I estimate that a training ground should also cost about 1,500 dinars, so we need 3,000."

[Reward: Wisdom +1. ]

【Comment: It's a pity that you don't become a middleman. 】

De Lassel laughed at the system in his mind and said sarcastically: The middleman makes a profit from the price difference. He Sian taught me this. Isn't it amazing?

[Who is this person you are talking about? ]

It doesn't matter who he is, but I think he created you.

At this time, Owens came in again.

"My honorable master, not far from the Norma village, I found a cave that is wide on the outside and deep on the inside."

"Oh? Then what?"

"Well, that's all. But I thought there might be some gold and jewels in there, and it looked like a robber's den."

After Owens's reasoning, De La Serre felt it was very likely.

After all, this is where forest bandits often appear, so they should have a gathering point.

"Let our Khergit boy go and scout. I guess he should have his own horse now."

"My Lord, you are right in guessing that he may have stolen a horse from the enemy last night."

Hearing this, De La Serre was very satisfied and nodded to Owens to make the arrangements.

"Safiya, let's wait here for news. If there is really a lot of wealth in that cave, we can use the gold, silver and jewelry in that cave to rebuild the Norma village. After all, it is ill-gotten gains."

"Okay, okay, this is also considered taking from the people and giving back to the people. They also robbed the farmers of their money, and now they are giving it back to the farmers, which is just right. But De Lassel, there is one thing I lied to you about..."

Safiya suddenly acted aggrieved and pitiful.

De La Serre also became a little nervous and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"The grapes you ate were indeed the bunch from Xico Village. They are several days old."

Oh shit!

"You woman! You..."

Just as De La Serre was about to continue, his mouth was filled with grapes peeled by Safiya...

It feels like she is murdering her husband before they even get married.

That night, the Kugit archer under De Lassel arrived near the cave.

In order to make the name easier to remember, De Lassel called this Kugit horse archer "Awang".

The dim moonlight shines through the slowly moving black clouds, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

The thick fog of the night could not be dispersed, no pedestrians could be seen on the long and silent road, and the sound of footsteps behind seemed to be there but not there.

In this darkness, Awang felt a chill all over his body and his scalp was numb.

It was as if countless pairs of eyes were looking at him from all sides. His body gradually curled up into a ball, not daring to stare into the darkness.

"Hey hey! Aha! Long live De La Serre! Eeyah hoo!"
