#5 Her name is Mira!

When I heard Lucius' words, I was a little angry.

Does such a poor village have to pay huge taxes every year?Is it a bit too much?This is clearly oppressing civilians, right?

But if you are angry, you are angry, this is someone else's business, so what can I do?

You can't drive away the soldiers who come to collect taxes, can you?Let's not talk about whether I can beat them, but I can't stay here for the rest of my life to help them fight off the soldiers who collect taxes, can I?One or two soldiers can be beaten away, one or two hundred, one or two thousand can do it?

"Since you have come here, sir, it means you have a destiny with this village. Please rest here tonight, sir. My family will be responsible for the food. Let's pack up and go on the road tomorrow morning."

Lucius stood up and said.

"Thank you so much!"

I bowed to him.

It was just right to stay with me for one night. Now that the sun is gradually setting, if I continue to stay outside and encounter some jackals, tigers and leopards, I will definitely not be able to save my life with just a pistol.

What's more, jackals, tigers and leopards are still the best situation. This is a different world. Who knows if there will be some monsters?

The house of the village head, Lucius, is relatively large, and he vacated a room for me.

Lying on the bed, although it is not as comfortable as the bed at home, it is better than lying on the ground.

[Zero, do you think I should help them? 】

I closed my eyes and said to Zero.

[I think that you don't even have the ability to protect yourself now, and you don't have the energy to help others at all]

【I'm so merciless... Do I have any new tasks? 】

【No task released yet】

【All right】

There is no new task, which means that I can't get exchange points and rewards, so I only have a small pistol now?

Ask them where the nearby cities are tomorrow morning, and head there.

If possible, to find a job that you can do, you must first find a place to live. It would be great if there is a place where you can accept tasks posted by others and get rewards like in the novel. My system tasks overlap, killing two birds with one stone.

Just as I was thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door, and the girl who poured water for me and Lucius came in.

"Mr. Chen Tong, the meal is ready."

The girl leaned over slightly and said.

"I see, thank you, just call me Chen Tong."

I nodded and smiled, signaling her not to be so reserved.

"Then, I'll call you Brother Chen Tong! My name is Mira, and I'm the granddaughter of the village chief."

The girl said with a smile.

She had a nice smile, which made me a little dazed.

Dinner is corn porridge and that kind of hard bread, but it's good enough to eat. Although I'm not used to eating, I can only force those foods into my mouth and swallow them.

After dinner, I went back to my room and lay on the bed looking at the night sky outside the window, unable to fall asleep at all.

The first night in another world also means that I am not dreaming, all of this is real, I really died in the original world, was sent to this world by God, and gained a so-called task system.

I took the pistol out of the store, put it in my hand and watched.

After a few practice sessions, I have been able to take items out of the warehouse and put them back in proficiently.

The moonlight reflecting off the silver body of the gun shone on my face.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened slightly, drawing my attention.

A small head poked in through the crack of the open door. Seeing that I was not asleep, I was startled, and hit the door frame when I retracted subconsciously.

Two seconds later, there was a slight cry from the door.

"Let me guess, if this is a thief, it must be a very cute thief"

I got out of bed, went to the door and opened it.

The girl named Mira was squatting on the ground with her head in her arms, tears remained in the corners of her eyes, she was obviously trying not to cry out, the bump on her head just now should have hurt.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I just want to chat with you, nothing else!"

She stood up and hurriedly explained, lest I misunderstand her.

"come in!"

I nodded, opened the door fully, and let her in.

She walked to the bed and sat down gently. Through the moonlight, she could vaguely see that her face was a little rosy, and she must still be shy because of what happened just now.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me. Logically speaking, whether I'm from Wangcheng or not, would you come to chat with a stranger in the middle of the night when you see him?"

"Because, because I think Brother Chen Tong, you should be very nice, and you feel very gentle."

She looked up and said.

Well, congratulations, I got a good person card and a brother card!

"Okay, what are we going to talk about? I just can't fall asleep, and I'm a little excited to walk such a long distance from home for the first time."

I sighed, walked over and lay down on the bed, and said.

"Where did you come from? At least there is no one around who dresses like you."

Seeing me lying down, she ignored me and asked excitedly instead.

"I, I came from a very far away place, so far away that it's unbelievable. Have you heard of it in China Mainland?"

"No... what is that place?"

She put her finger on her chin, thought for a moment, shook her head, and asked.

"Of course you've never heard of it. It's so far away from here. I also said it's too far away!"

Yes, go a world away!

But if I explain it to her, I can't explain it clearly, not to mention that I am from another world. You must not tell others, right?

It's as if superheroes in movies can't reveal their true identities to the public.

Well, Tin Can and The Shield Man are exceptions!

"Hey! Then why are you traveling? Can you use magic? Judging by your attire, you should be a noble from that place, right?"

"Are nobility and magic related?"

"Of course! Generally speaking, only nobles have magic academies, and ordinary people who want to learn magic can only find a teacher to learn it. Whether you can find it depends on luck."

"So that's how it is..."

I roughly understand that only the nobles have that kind of systematic learning of magic, so I still have a certain ability to protect myself in this different world, after all, ordinary people will not be opponents of guns.

"Don't nod your head! Tell me first, tell me if you know magic!"

Mira asked anxiously.

"I……"

I hesitated, communicated with Zero in my heart, then nodded with a smile.

"A little bit, do you want me to perform for you?"

"What? Let me see!"

When she saw me saying I would, she immediately became happy and grabbed my clothes, eager to let me show them off.

I signaled her not to get excited, let go of me first.

She blushed and realized that she had gone too far, she let go of her hand and stepped aside.

"Ahem, next, I'm going to perform a very useful magic called "Storage Magic"!"

I stood up, coughed twice, and said pretending to be mysterious.

"See this pillow?"

I grabbed the pillows on the bed.

"Yeah yum!"

Mira nodded excitedly, staring intently at the pillow in my hand, as if something miraculous would happen in the next second.

But the next second did happen, which is considered a very miraculous scene in the real world.

The body in my hand suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

Seeing this scene, Mira's eyes widened. She stood up and walked behind me, and even boldly stretched out her hands to search my body to see if I had hidden the pillow by blindfolding.

"No more! It's already been put into a special space by me, look!"

I turned my hand over and the pillow appeared in my hand again.

Mira took the pillow and looked at it in disbelief.

"Wouldn't it be possible to carry a lot of things without getting tired?"

Just when I thought she was going to praise me, she suddenly said something that left me speechless.

"I said, such a useful ability, do you use it as a carriage for pulling goods?"

"hey-hey……"

Mira also felt that she was ruining the atmosphere too much, so she smiled awkwardly.

#6 Shoot ♂ people

"Hey, brother Chen Tong, where do you want to travel?"

After performing the so-called "magic", I lay down on the bed, and Mira also sat down and asked.

"Well, find a bigger city first, and then see if there is anything that can make money. I don't have any money now."

I leaned on the pillow and said.

It's true, and that's exactly what I intended.

But I still have a little money, but I can't use Grandpa Mao here, can I?

"Then, can you take me with you?"

After a while, Mira asked cautiously.

"Eh? Bring you? What are you kidding? Let alone whether there is any danger along the way, even your grandfather wouldn't agree, right? And I'm a foreigner, and I haven't known you for more than a day. You Are you so relieved?"

I was startled, take her?What are you kidding?

I should be able to understand her motivation. She has been living in this small village, like a bird in a cage, longing for the vast blue sky outside the cage.

But you can't ignore the risk of flying out of the cage for the sake of the blue sky, right?

"Just take me with you! I believe in you, please! I've always wanted to go out for an adventure, but Grandpa just said that I'm young, so I don't agree. But staying in this small village all the time, I'm getting bored to death! "

Mira grabbed my hand, shaking it coquettishly.

Seeing Mira's appearance, I was so excited that I almost agreed to her.

Mira looks quite pretty, and she still has the style of a lolita, holding my hand at this moment, it is indeed quite lethal to me.

But now I am struggling to take care of myself, so how can I spare my energy to take care of a weak girl?

"No! If you do this again, I will tell your grandfather! I will leave tomorrow morning, you must not do anything stupid! Do you understand?"

I pretended to be fierce and said to her, hoping to scare her.

This attempt was really effective, Mira's voice weakened, she stood up and walked to the door.

"If you don't take it, don't take it!"

Mira seemed angry, made a face at me, opened the door and left.

【I think you should be a gentleman】

Zero's voice rang in his mind.
