Damn, a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. I've taken good care of you, haven't I? Why are you sad?

De Lassel racked his brains and scratched his head, but he couldn't figure out what his problem was.

Although he did not have much experience in campus love in his previous life, he knew that apologizing was never wrong.

Women, women, need to be coaxed.

"Safiya, I...if you think I did something wrong, I'm sorry, you can tell me."

"It's nothing bad, let's go."

The expressionless response, as solid as a solid wall, made De La Serre feel like a thorn in his throat, and he remained silent for a while.

After dealing with the forest bandits, the group spent a lot of time and finally successfully walked out of the Abyss Mountains.

The Eastern Abyss Mountains are located near the Khergit Khanate, and the Khergit Khanate and the Kingdom of Swadia are currently at peace.

The Khergit Khanate is a country that migrated from the other side of the steppe to the continent of Calradia, and its symbolic animal is the steppe wolf.

Unlike the Kingdom of Swadia, whose symbol is the lion, Swadia is mainly composed of heavy knights with heavy armor.

The Kugit people are very good at riding and archery. They have no infantry and no archers in the conventional sense. Instead, they have mounted archers that are a mixture of cavalry and archers.

This group of mounted archers often wore nomadic robes and rode handsome white horses from the grassland. They galloped across the battlefield, and were agile, sharp and highly maneuverable.

Except for the Kugit people who are of the first-tier troops, the rest are all cavalry, each with a good horse.

They can easily use their mobility advantage and the lethality of long-range weapons to escape and destroy infantry.

At this time, De La Serre's troops were very close to the village of Shiko of the Kugit Khanate.

"I think we should go to Xiko first and buy some supplies from the villagers. We also need to replenish drinking water. Owens, Safiya, what do you think?"

"As you command, my Lord."

Owens was like an impersonal answering machine. He did whatever his boss said, without a single objection.

"Well, maybe Xike has some fresh fruit. I want some grapes."

"Then let's go to Xico. Owens, you will be responsible for fetching water and buying supplies. I will go to help Safiya find grapes. Maybe I can also get some olives, mangoes or something. I think you must like them~"

"I hope you won't break your promise, Baron."

"As you command, my lady."

[Your friendship with Safiya +1, currently at 41.]

[Comment: You are quite good at making women happy, Baron.]

Damn, 10 points were deducted, and only 1 point was added?

It seems that I have to be more serious and cautious when treating Safiya in the future and serve her with full concentration.

After all, her attributes are higher than mine. If she gets angry, she can really shoot me to death with a few arrows...

After a long time, the group arrived at Xike Village.

Owens went shopping as instructed, and Safiya found a comfortable place to lie down.

And De La Serre walked towards the largest house in the village.

Needless to say, the village chief must live in this largest room.

Sure enough, an old man who looked the most energetic, the richest and the most powerful came up from the largest room and said, "Sir, you don't look familiar. What can I do for you?"

"I am the Lord of the Kingdom of Swadia, Count De Lassel."

"My Lord Count, I'm sorry I haven't heard of your name. This is the village of Xiko in the Kugit Khanate."

It seems that my reputation and honor are really not that high...

"I want some fruits like grapes and mangoes. Can you sell me some?"

"My Lord Earl, we used to have vineyards here, and we could grow a lot of grapes, but now, the vineyards have been occupied by hateful beasts, and we have become much poorer because of this."

"If I can help you drive away the beast, can you give me grapes?" asked De La Serre.

"Of course, Count, I can give you some extra money in return. In fact, we have found many bounty hunters to help us kill the beasts, but..."

Hearing this, De La Serre knew the result without having to guess.

"But they are gone forever, right? Don't worry, I am different from them. Tell me, where is this vineyard?"

"It's right there. Just walk this way..."

【Temporary Mission】

【Help the villagers to kill the wild beasts. 】

[Rewards: grapes, beast meat, 500 dinars, 5 points of village friendship. ]

Following the system's navigation, De La Serre quickly found the vineyard.

"Fuck, you call this a beast? It must have become a spirit through cultivation!"

What I saw before me were a few prairie jackals, but they were huge, almost as big as adult brown bears.

Their teeth are protruding outward, like the tusks of a mammoth, and are extremely sharp.

No, I need to see their data...

[Steppe Jackal]

[Level 5, Strength 10, Agility 12, Wisdom 3, Charisma 3. ]

Yoshi yoshi, it turns out it just looks scary.

De Lassel had no more worries now, he drew out his Germanic sword and rushed forward.

When the prairie jackals saw someone rushing towards them, they attacked in groups.

"They are indeed inferior creatures with low IQ. Aren't they here to die together?"

Seeing that the jackal was about to pounce on him, De Lassel kicked the wolf in the face.

【You gain 50 character experience points. 】

Died already? So vulnerable...

At this time, another jackal jumped up and pounced over, "Pa!"

De Lassel slapped the wolf again, hitting him hard on the face.

【You gain 50 character experience points. 】

Seeing this, the other jackals were frightened and ran away.

【Mission Completed】

【you……】

The system was about to report, but was shut down by De Lassel.

So much nonsense, I know!

It’s just a little money, some grapes, and a little favorability.

There's a lot of crackling noises, it's so annoying.

【Charm - 1.】

[I hope you learn to respect me, otherwise I will detain you to death. ]

I just felt a wave of tiredness rushing through my body, and De La Serre seemed to have aged a little.

Damn it! How dare you treat me like this? Never mind. I'll learn from my mistakes. I'll curse you in my heart from now on...

[I know what you are thinking. Please continue to play the game "healthily" and provide everyone with positive outlooks. Cursing people behind their backs is shameless.]

Very good, really “very good”.

After a while, De Lassel came to the village chief to collect the reward, carrying two jackal heads.

"Oh my god! You are such a warrior! Thank you!"

"No need to flatter me. Give me the grapes. I don't need the money. It's not easy for you either."

"You are such a good person, we Xike will always remember you!

Several young men in the village are willing to join your army for free and do something for you."

[You have obtained 2 Kugit people, and your honor value is +1 due to your good deeds. ]

[Current reputation 25, honor value 2. ]

[Evaluation: Although you have performed well, I have to remind you that you are a poor guy now. ]

Will you die if you say something nice? De La Serre cursed the system in his heart.
