"Don't be afraid, everyone. So what if she's powerful? There's only one of her!"
"There are so many of us, we can't be afraid of a little girl like her!"
The bandit who had spoken earlier kept backing away, keeping his gun pointed at Lin Xue.
But he urged his brothers around him to rush forward one by one.
Lin Xue used a freezing spell on each of the bandits who rushed up to their deaths.
These people have done so many evil deeds that they deserve to be condemned by Heaven.
Rather than doing it yourself, you're just making things easier for these people, allowing them to end their suffering quickly.
Why not leave them to the villagers?
Whether the villagers take matters into their own hands or send the animals to the city for the city lord to decide is none of her concern.
"Hmm?"
"Ugh...ugh...ugh..."
The bandits, who had been immobilized by the spell, remained frozen in place, their previous poses unchanged.
Their mouths were unable to produce sound, but their strong desire to speak allowed them to emit faint whimpering sounds.
“I have already captured these bandits for you. In return, I need you to provide me with a place to rest.”
With a flick of her finger, magic emanated from her fingertip, untying all the ropes binding the villagers.
Since she started using magic, Lin Xue has never personally lifted a finger.
With just a thought and a simple incantation, one can do many things that were previously unthinkable.
For example, if she encountered villagers who were tied up, in the past she would have had to untie them one by one.
But now it's different. With just a little magic, everyone's ropes can be untied.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is a slight element of spiritual energy involved.
Magic combined with spiritual power is incredibly useful.
That strength is not simply doubled.
"Sir, I am the village chief of this village. Please come to my home to rest."
An old man with a white beard walked out from the crowd. Lin Xue noticed that the village chiefs in this world all seemed to be old men with white beards.
Although I don't know if this is the case in all villages, I have encountered this situation in several villages.
"Um!"
Following the old village chief, we arrived at his home and entered the clean guest room.
"I'll stay here for the night. You can deal with those bandits however you like, but be quick!"
"While I'm still here, I can keep an eye on things for you. If I'm not here, these bandits might come up with some unusual tricks."
Lin Xue knew that some villages were very afraid of witches.
She hadn't concealed her identity at all when she made her move, and by this time most of the villagers had already guessed who she was.
Instead of letting the villagers guess, it's better to be upfront.
When you tell them you'll only be staying one night and then leave, they become less wary.
"Thank you so much for your help, sir. I will prepare a sumptuous meal later to express my gratitude!"
Sure enough, the old village chief's expression relaxed considerably after hearing that Lin Xue would only be staying for one night.
By now, I was already thinking about dinner.
"You should deal with those bandits first. If you're going to hand them over to the security team, remember not to reveal my identity!"
After giving her instructions, Lin Xue dismissed the others and went to rest in the room.
The villagers, especially those whose families had been hurt, were particularly angry and attacked the bandits with fists and feet.
Some people couldn't resist and killed their opponents with their weapons.
Amidst the crowd's anger, the old village chief said nothing, but instead sent someone to fetch the musketeers from the local police station.
Finally, all these bandits were taken away by the security team and will be publicly executed.
The villagers settled their injured relatives, while those who were lucky enough to escape injury were filled with gratitude. Each household prepared a dish and delivered it to the village chief's house.
Although the witch who came to this village before had a bad personality and didn't like to talk to the villagers.
However, she didn't do anything detrimental to the village, so the villagers weren't particularly hostile towards the witch.
In addition, since Lin Xue saved them, the food she made was made with extra care.
Lin Xue glanced at the food here; most of it consisted of desserts, apple pies, strawberry pies, cakes, and bread.
These things wouldn't spoil even if not eaten immediately, so Lin Xue put them all into Hengshi Warehouse to eat slowly on the road.
She stayed in the village for one night, and got up at the crack of dawn the next day.
The old village chief was somewhat alarmed to see Lin Xue up so early.
"My lord, are you setting off so early?"
I originally thought that since my family got up early enough, we should be able to prepare a hearty breakfast.
But this person got up way too early this morning; even their rooster hadn't started crowing yet!
"I have urgent business to attend to, so I need to leave as soon as possible!"
"Thank you for the villagers' hospitality last night. I'll take all the food they brought with me to eat on the road. Farewell, Village Chief!"
Lin Xue bowed slightly to the old village chief, after all, he was old and deserved at least some respect.
The old village chief was flattered and quickly waved his hand, "Breakfast is already being prepared. Won't you eat before you leave, sir?"
If they had known this person got up so early, they should have gotten up even earlier.
"No!"
"Thank you for the invitation, but I really have to go now!"
Lin Xue walked into the courtyard, took out her magic broom, and quickly left the village.
It wasn't that she didn't want to rest a little longer, but that the matter here was too big, and someone would definitely come down to investigate in detail.
Last night, the higher-ups were so focused on interrogating the bandits that they overlooked the situation.
There will definitely be security personnel today, going door-to-door asking questions.
Her identity could not be kept secret at all.
It's already good that they can stay overnight. If they don't leave by morning, they'll probably face a lot of trouble.
Who knows if the local security forces will be like those in the previous city, arresting witches everywhere?
Riding a magic broom.
Lin Xue quickly found a hilltop and landed.
This thing is slow and it hurts my butt, I really don't like it.
Taking the horse out of the space, it's more comfortable to ride a horse and enjoy the scenery along the way.
or……
"system!"
Anyway, his little system is idle, so he doesn't know if this guy has thoroughly researched the magic of this world.
If you've already mastered it, you can ask it to help modify the magic broom.
Riding on such a small stick is really uncomfortable.
Sitting on the broom handle makes it difficult to control the direction, while sitting too far forward is uncomfortable on your bottom—it's a real dilemma.
"Here I am, here I am!"
"Host, I know what you want me to do. Leave this to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
629 plunged into Lin Xue's space, found the magic broom, and began to study it.
