Returning to Karn Village, Meeting Anri

Returning to Karn Village, Meeting Anri in Upper Fire Moon, July 6th.

The light nearing dusk was far from the scorching heat of midday.

Anri bent over, carefully parting the wheat stalks, using her foot to hold down the weeds growing beside them, and pulling them out with all her strength.

Sweat dripped down her cheeks and neck.

Seeing the pile of green weeds that had already accumulated to some extent, Anri picked them all up and walked along the path in the wheat field towards the outside.

As she walked out of the wheat field and placed the weeds on the outermost path,

Anri straightened her back, raised her still relatively clean arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and exhaled lightly.

The sweat all over her body made her clothes stick to her skin, and the fatigue made her want to hide in a shady spot and have a good sleep.

I can't be lazy.

Anri looked at the golden wheat field in front of her, still interspersed with some green, and especially when she smelled the slight fragrance of wheat in the air, her mood suddenly improved a lot, and even the fatigue disappeared a little.

"In half a month, it will be the harvest season."

"The Tax Collector should come at that time, once a year, he is always very punctual."

Anri opened her mouth in a slightly complaining tone, her expression clearly full of fatigue, but still exuding a sense of vitality.

"Anri? Are you here by yourself?"

A surprised voice came from the path in the wheat field.

It was Aimeibei Aunt's voice.

Anri turned around and saw Aimeibei Aunt and several other women from the village returning to the village with their backs full of weeds.

"Auntie."

Anri quickly bent over slightly and said, "Father and Laqimeng Uncle went to the forest to pick herbs, and mother has to take care of my sister, so I came here by myself."

"It's just removing some weeds, I can do it myself." Anri said shyly.

"That's really amazing."

"It's still hard to be alone, feel free to ask if you need anything."

"..."

Praises came from the women.

"The Tax Collector will be here in half a month."

"Yes, speaking of which, a lot of outsiders have come to the village recently."

"I heard they are all Adventurers, a bunch of rude and nasty guys."

"Not all Adventurers are like that. The black-haired young man a month ago, the Village Chief said he was also an Adventurer, and he gave money before he left. He was also very handsome."

"Hehe, what are you thinking about at such an old age."

"Get lost, get lost, what's wrong with thinking about it? I heard that the noble ladies in the city keep a few... hey."

"Adventurers must make a lot of money, right?"

Watching the women gradually walk away, especially hearing the faintly spicy words, Anri blushed slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

A black-haired young man? Anri also had an impression, after all, the village was not big, and everyone could know any movements as soon as they happened.

She had peeked out through the window, but it was already dark at the time, and she couldn't see what he looked like at all.

Adventurers must be very powerful people.

Anri had this thought in her mind, and then shook her head.

People from two different worlds.

Putting all the weeds she had pulled out on the ground together, Anri took a rope and spent a lot of effort to tie them up.

Turning around and pulling hard.

Anri put it on her back, and after steadying her feet, she returned towards the village.

The weeds were quite numerous.

Anri's head was covered by the weeds, and she could only see the ground beneath her feet, but this didn't affect her much, as she knew this path like the back of her hand.

Moreover, this wheat field was located right next to the village, not far away.

"You can't see the road like this."

"Need any help?"

Suddenly, a somewhat gentle and unfamiliar voice sounded from ahead.

"I can manage myself," Anri said subconsciously, carrying the pile of weeds on her back.

But the next moment, she realized.

Such an unfamiliar voice, not someone from the village.

"Awoo." A low growl, like that of some wild beast, followed closely.

Anri was startled. Since her view ahead was blocked by the weeds, she already felt insecure, and then she heard the unfamiliar voice and the beast's growl.

She couldn't help but straighten up.

The weight of the weeds shifted backward instantly, causing her to lose her balance and fall uncontrollably.

"Ah!"

Anri let out a cry of surprise.

Fortunately, the pile of weeds was soft, and she wasn't hurt by the fall.

Bang! "Awoo..."

The beast seemed to have been kicked.

"Don't bark randomly, you'll easily scare people."

The gentle voice continued.

Anri rubbed her shoulder, then looked up at the person in front of her.

It was a young man wearing a black robe, who didn't look very old. What stood out was his black hair.

The hair on both sides was past his ears, looking a bit long, but it didn't seem messy. He was looking at her apologetically.

Anri shivered, inexplicably feeling a chill, and the back of her neck felt cold, but this feeling disappeared in an instant, like an illusion.

Immediately after.

Anri saw the Evil Spirit Dog standing next to the black-haired young man, with a fierce appearance and Bone Chains moving around its body.

"A Magical Beast!"

Anri's face turned pale instantly.

Although she had never seen an Evil Spirit Dog, its appearance was clearly not that of an ordinary wild beast.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you."

Tang Zheng saw Anri's panicked expression, stepped forward, and comforted her helplessly.

Anri heard Tang Zheng's words and noticed that the Small Evil Spirit Dog indeed showed no signs of attacking, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I, I'm sorry."

Anri's cheeks flushed red, and she quickly stood up, saying in a flustered tone.

She now remembered that the black-haired young man in front of her was the one who had appeared in the village a month ago.

Although she hadn't seen his face, she wouldn't mistake his voice.

Especially when she thought of the topics the Aimeibei Aunt and others in the village had been discussing in private, Anri's cheeks turned even redder.

"I should be the one apologizing for scaring you just now."

Tang Zheng waved his hand gently, turned his head to look at the Evil Spirit Dog behind him, and pointed to the pile of grass, saying, "Xiao Hei."

"Awoo."

The Evil Spirit Dog's back shuddered, and the black Bone Chains wrapped around its body rapidly extended.

The ends of the chains curled up, binding the rope holding the haystack together, and abruptly tightened, lifting the haystack from the ground and placing it on its back.

"So amazing."

"This... no need, I can do it myself." Anri's eyes widened, and then she reacted, waving her hands quickly while anxiously saying, "So much grass, it will crush it."

After all, the Small Evil Spirit Dog's size was much smaller compared to the pile of weeds she had pulled.

Its body was completely covered.

It looked like a moving haystack.

"It's okay, just consider it an apology for scaring you earlier," Tang Zheng said. "Don't underestimate its small size; it's still a Magical Beast, and its stamina and endurance are no worse than an adult's."

Having said that.

Tang Zheng had no intention of continuing the conversation, signaling the Small Evil Spirit Dog to follow and walking towards Karn Village.

Anri stood there blankly, her somewhat rough hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes a few times, then she quickly followed.

However.

Anri didn't dare walk alongside Tang Zheng, but lagged a few steps behind, following with her head lowered.

Anri, huh.

Tang Zheng sensed Anri following behind him, his eyes flickering slightly.

The last time he came to Karn Village, he was in a hurry to level up, so he only spent one night and left early the next morning, without even seeing Anri.

He didn't expect to encounter her here unexpectedly this time; she was much more naive compared to the future.

Who would have thought.

This girl, who came from a small border village, would become one of the top figures in this world in the future.

Overlord!

Or perhaps she could be called Overlord General.

Anri only summoned an ordinary Goblin squad the first time she used the Goblin General Horn.

But the second time, she triggered a hidden effect, blowing out a Goblin army of 5,000 people at once.

This army had a full eight legions, and apart from the Guards, the legion commanders of the remaining seven legions all possessed Hero-class (≥29Lv) strength.

And the Guards only had 13 people, each with an average level of (43Lv), the so-called Thirteen Red Caps!

Among them was also a Goblin military advisor who commanded the entire legion, with a level reaching (51LV).

And Anri, who possessed this legion, could be said to have the strength to defeat the surrounding countries if she wanted to.

Even Tang Zheng was slightly envious of being able to easily possess such a legion.

In addition.

Anri later relied on her own awakening of command-type classes such as "General" and "Commander," which shows that she indeed has some talent in this area.

Tang Zheng thought of this and his heart stirred.

Four years is neither long nor short; besides leveling up, perhaps he really needs to make some arrangements in other areas.

His strength was too weak before.

Now, with his strength, at least Adventurer teams of Mithril Rank or higher could pose a threat to him, or experts of the Fingernail Cutter and Warrior Captain level at this stage.

Dealing with Hero-class was still a bit lacking.
