The town of Keming is the territory of Baron Wilga. Because it is close to the forest, the town's economy depends entirely on hunting and logging.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.

According to the information provided by Iron Wolf Kog'gas, Baron Wilga is a relatively good nobleman. He is only interested in making money and does not severely oppress his subjects.

Yes, it's not serious, at most the town guards buy things without paying, and occasionally kick a widow's door or something.

Baron Wilga himself did not have many bad deeds, at least he had never withheld the hard-earned money of the mercenaries.

That's what Kog'Gath the Iron Wolf said.

When people evaluate others, they always speak from their own perspective.

There was a farm near Baron Wilga's sawmill. When Xiuyi and his companions passed by in a carriage, he asked the Iron Wolf Kog'gas to help him buy more than ten sets of clothes for children from a traveling merchant who happened to pass by.

Except for his own three sets, the rest were distributed to the little ghosts.

After everyone got their new clothes, the sadness on their faces disappeared a little.

Children are pretty easy to coax.

Even the disfigured Godier couldn't help but touch the little red skirt, with a smile on her face that seemed gentle but looked hideous because of her disfigurement.

These clothes were not cheap, and they cost a total of 17 silver wolves. (The pattern on the front of the gold coin is a sword piercing the head of an evil dragon from above, so the gold coin is also called the Golden Dragon. The pattern on the silver coin is the front of a one-eyed wolf king, and the pattern on the bronze sparrow is a titmouse landing on the ground.)

The specially reserved carriage had enough space, so it wasn't too crowded for Xiuyi and the six little kids to sit in.

Shuichi, the girls, and the boys changed into new clothes in the truck, and the team continued to move forward.

According to the agreement, Xiuyi and his companions will get off in Keming Town. The Iron Wolf Mercenary Group only needs to send them to Keming Town safely to get the remaining commission, fifty silver wolves.

The closer they got to Keming Town, the more anxious Iron Wolf Kogas became.

He felt that meeting Shuichi might be his only chance in his life to change his fate. He wanted to join him, but was worried that Shuichi would not accept him.

According to Iron Wolf Kogas's observation, Xiuyi is worth investing in and is a potential stock.

Regardless of whether he is a child of a noble family, just looking at his fighting ability alone, he is worth joining.

However, Kog'gas, who has seen Shuichi's fighting ability, is not very confident. Will the other party really need them?

What's more, the two parties have only known each other for no more than 24 hours. What is Shuichi's identity and why is he alone in the wild... There are too many questions that need to be clarified.

Even if Kog'gas wanted to risk his life, he had to consider the twenty or so brothers who followed him.

Or... just take it slow.

After leaving the village near the logging camp, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group walked along the country dirt road towards Keming Town for about half an hour. Suddenly, a fast horse came galloping from the direction of the village.

"Wait a minute! The mercenary group ahead! I brought the order from Knight Soma!"

Knight Soma is the garrison officer stationed at the lumberyard and a vassal of Baron Wilga.

The village that everyone just entered was the fiefdom of Knight Soma.

But his main job is to manage the lumberyard for Baron Wilga.

The rider on the horse was a short-haired young man no older than thirty years old. Judging from his attire, he was a knight's squire.

The riders rode their horses, trampling a trail of dust, and forced their way to the front of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group.

Seeing that the team had stopped because of his arrival, he finally had time to catch his breath: "Huh...Huh...You are mercenaries, right? I want to recruit you, now follow me back to Shuki Village! After completing the mission, Knight Soma will reward you handsomely!"

This village was naturally the village where Xiu Yi and others bought clothes before.

"Brave knight, we have received an invitation from the respected Viscount Hocas and are on our way to his territory." The Iron Wolf Kogas saw the knight's squire's mental state of being on high alert, and guessed that if he returned to the village now, there would be a tough battle to fight. Naturally, he was unwilling to go back, so he expressed his refusal in the name of another noble.

Unfortunately, the knight squire was not fooled by the words of Iron Wolf Kogas. He straightened his chest firmly while riding on his warhorse, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his right hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist: "Viscount Horcas is a generous nobleman. He won't mind us borrowing his manpower. If he knew that you were clearly nearby but did not help..."

The threat is palpable.

Kog'Gath looked at the condescending knight attendant for a second, then quickly lowered his head and avoided him.

In this world, the highest authority is divine power, followed by imperial power, and then the power of the nobility.

Compared to mercenaries, knight squires have official identities. If a conflict arises between the two sides, it is best to act cleanly, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

"I'm on escort duty and need to ask another employer's opinion."

The knight's squire frowned. He was now extremely anxious and worried about Shuki Village's safety.

"I told you to listen to me!"

The knight's squire could hardly hold back and was about to draw his sword.

Just when the situation was tense, Shuichi walked out of the covered freight carriage.

"Squire, can you tell me what has made you so anxious?"

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, the knight's squire saw a little black-haired boy wearing a white shirt.

He was very handsome, and you could tell at first glance that he had never done any farm work, so he couldn't be the child of a peasant family.

The young man had fair skin, spoke in a measured way, had lively eyes, and had an indescribable calm demeanor, which reminded the knight's squire of a scion of a high-ranking noble family whom he had the honor of meeting.

Although this black-haired boy, who should be no older than 10 years old, was dressed in ordinary clothes, some people's temperament could not be concealed by a piece of cheap clothes.

His words and actions were elegant, his bearing was noble, and he knew when to relax and work hard... In addition, the mercenary group was going to escort this unidentified boy to the territory of Viscount Horcas... Hiss... Did he do something wrong?

Will he be murdered to silence him?

But the problem is, we are only a border territory of the empire. How could such a big shot have nothing better to do than to stay in a bustling metropolis all day and run to our own remote place?

Moreover, the boy in front of him is too young. Normally, a boy of this age should not be allowed to run around, unless... I heard that Viscount Hocas has no children... I'm afraid this boy was sent here secretly?

Is it too late for me to commit suicide now?

The moment he looked into Xiu's eyes, the knight's squire's mind raced, and in the blink of an eye he had filled in a lot of information.

There were family feuds among the rich, vicious stepmothers, grafting, and replacing one thing with another... Anyway, the bards often told stories about those noble sons who had been stranded outside and developed in their small territories by relying on their noble bloodline and personal charm, and gradually regained what they had lost.

Could it be that this time I just happened to meet the protagonist of the poem?

Seeing the confusion in the knight's squire's eyes revealing clear stupidity, Shuichi knew very well that it was a chain reaction caused by his handsome face and the experience left over from his previous life.

Indeed, Shuichi's confidence and demeanor were definitely not something a commoner in this technologically inferior alien world could fake.

The Xiu family is at least a merchant family with a shop. If they have the means, they will not have to worry about food and clothing. They will brush their teeth and take a bath every day and keep themselves clean.

Unlike the common people in this world, it is difficult enough just to survive, so where do they get the energy to be particular?

Especially since he had just become an awakener and destroyed a secret base of the Blood God Cult and killed the gold-level bald man, it was impossible to say that he did not have any of the arrogance that a time traveler should have.

Other time travelers all say, "System dad, if you don't come, I will die." But Xiuyi says, "If the system doesn't come, then don't come. The strong can go against the current."

This is also the main reason why Shuichi looks like a child from a noble family.

In fact, this guy doesn't know any aristocratic etiquette at all. If he is really asked to sit at the table to eat, he doesn't even know where to sit, how much force to use to cut the meat, which dish to eat first, and how many times to chew before swallowing.

"You... I'm sorry, I didn't know this team was hired by you..." The knight's squire jumped off his horse the moment he saw Shuichi, and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "If I have offended you, please punish me... But the village is in danger, I just hope that you can help us because we are both nobles. As long as you are willing to lend a hand, Knight Soma will definitely be grateful to you!"

The squire did not mention the matter of reward because with Shuichi present, the amount of the reward was not something that a small knight squire like him could decide.
