Chapter 417
Chapter 417
There is a town-sized village to the north of the fortress. Because it is close to the fortress, it usually goes to this village to purchase anything.
The fortress will also be responsible for helping to deal with some problems in the village, such as public security, which often requires people from the fortress to come forward to solve.
Nowadays, when Fili walks on the small road in the village, the villagers passing by will actively greet her. Compared with those rough men, cute girls like Fili are more popular.
But today is different. Fili is no longer alone. A figure wrapped tightly with only cold eyes standing beside her.
This person is Elena. Fili arrived at the stable where the adventurers lived temporarily. No one was willing to help after shouting for a long time. Finally, Elena couldn't stand it anymore and had to accompany him alone.
"Elena, look, the broth sold here is delicious."
But for Fili, the current situation is exactly what she wants. If she really works with some unfamiliar adventurers, she will never be able to do it so easily now.
"Yeah."
Elena responded lightly, and his eyes could not help but fall on Fili.
It may not be appropriate for him to say, but the girl in front of him seems to trust him a little too much. It has only been a day since the two of them met, but Fili has completely let down her guard in front of him.
Obviously, they just went out to buy supplies, but now the two of them look like they are on a date, walking side by side, just short of holding hands.
"You are so popular, do you come here often?"
Looking at the villagers who kept greeting him around, Elena said with some doubts. It stands to reason that with the reputation of Winter Fortress, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a good impression of the people there.
But Fili was different. As soon as she went out, she was warmly welcomed by the villagers. After walking a few steps, someone wanted to come over and give her something. It can be seen that she is really popular.
"About the same. I come here four or five times a week. As a soldier of Winter Fortress, I have a quota. I must ensure that two commissions are completed every day. From helping old ladies go home to arresting bad guys in the village, as long as I can maintain two commissions every day for four consecutive days, it will be fine."
When Fili said these words, she was somewhat proud. After all, she perfectly followed such a quota for a year and never neglected her mission.
It is no wonder that Fili is so popular among the villagers. It would be strange if she was not popular if she came here four days a week to show her face and did two good things.
"Huh? What kind of weird indicator is this? What if there is nothing good to do? Can you just go back and be punished?"
Elena was speechless. After coming here, she really encountered all kinds of things. As a soldier of Winter Fortress, Fili's daily task was not training or drills, but to go to the village to help everyone solve problems.
"If there is really nothing good, you can also go to defeat monsters. As long as you go to the surrounding area of the village and defeat a certain number of monsters with hidden dangers, it will be considered that I have completed today's indicator."
Fili said with a relaxed look. At least in her opinion, this is not a big deal. After all, she has not failed in a year.
"You really are... Do you have the consciousness that you are being bullied?"
Elena covered her head and shook her head helplessly. From Fili's tone, she was the only one in the entire Winter Fortress who had to do these things.
Whether it was Governor Robert or the men under him, none of them would go to the village to do good things like Fili did.
It was good enough to show up in the village once a week. Those guys who ate, drank and had fun in the fortress every day didn't want to show up in such a place at all.
But the reputation of the fortress had to be taken into consideration, so they had to push out Fili, a new girl who couldn't integrate into the male group, and handed over all the things they didn't want to deal with to her, and put on the hat of obligation.
To be honest, this made Elaina feel a little nauseous. She could smell the stench of Robert even if she pinched her nose.
Although she didn't have a one-on-one face-to-face conversation with him, what he did to a young man like Fili was enough to prove how bad he was.
Didn't she just reject his obscene invitation? Even if she was playing tricks on him, it was too much, right? This was basically forcing Fili to leave and force her to compromise.
Only Fili was a little bit of a fool. She was bullied like this and still refused to leave. If it were Elaina, she would have stopped serving these beasts and walked away.
If you don't want to stay here, there are other places for you. There is no need to waste time here.
"Of course I know, but I can still tolerate it and it doesn't affect me too much.It affects my daily life. I will just keep going. When I can't stand it anymore, I will consider leaving. "
Felix said with some guilt. She knew that her treatment was not normal, but she always had such a thought. She always felt that if she stayed, her life would get better sooner or later.
Anyway, it was already very bad. As long as the experience was slightly better, it would be an improvement. She was a person who was easily satisfied.
"You are really like this. Isn't this asking others to bully you? It's not always right to accept it. Forget it... Why did I tell you so much?"
Ileana felt a little headache. It was useless to talk about this kind of thing. Only when Felix woke up could he have an explanation. He couldn't interfere too much.
"Although it's not appropriate for me to say it, Elena, why are you so good to me? We just knew each other for a day, right? But you always help me. This is the first time I have met someone like you. "
Looking at Elena's profile, Fili's mood was very complicated. Although she was not the kind of person who had never accepted the kindness of others, it was rare to find a kind-hearted person like Elena.
Especially after Fili entered the fortress, most of what she felt was malice, which made the ordinary inconspicuous kindness become particularly precious.
Now everything Elena did really made her feel warm in the cold wind. Among those kind-hearted people, Elena was also the most special one.
"Who knows, maybe it's because you are a bit like my students. You have talent and strength, but you are a little bit stupid. I always feel that it is easy to go wrong if no one helps you. "
Elena himself didn't know why, but at least looking at Fili's appearance, he really looked like the girls around him, which always gave him a feeling of being uneasy.
"Am I being taken advantage of? Elena, can you still be a teacher?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I am?"
"Anyway, I don't look like a teacher. Elena, you look younger than me."
