The Hero in Exile

"Thank you both for your help, otherwise I would be in trouble."

"Yes, what I didn't expect is that you can actually perform magic." Wu Ming echoed the village chief's words and seemed a little excited.

"It's nothing, just a small favor. Besides, didn't you save us last night?" Lingyu replied politely.

Wu Ming had not walked far when he saw many villagers fleeing into the village. When he ran back, he saw Moran and Lingyu teaming up to destroy the magic wolf.

"Is that so?" Wu Jian looked puzzled. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I just hope to be rewarded accordingly." Moran didn't care about their opinions. He might as well take the opportunity to get some money.

"Of course. I wonder how much the reward is?" replied the village chief.

"Three gold coins."

Moran raised his hand and made the number three.

"what?"

"what?"

Wu Jian and Wu Ming both showed surprised expressions. Lingyu did not expect Moran to ask for such a high price. In this world, there are gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. The exchange rate is 100 and three gold coins are already a considerable amount. Of course, this amount of money was nothing during the time in the church.

"You are too cruel. Is it necessary for just one magic wolf?" Lingyu walked to Moran.

"Trust me." Moran replied in a low voice.

Lingyu didn't understand what Moran was trying to do, so she just waited and saw what happened.

“To be honest, this is too expensive.”

"Yes, although I saved the villagers from getting hurt, the three gold coins are enough for my family to use for several months."

At this time, the two brothers could no longer hold their temper, and their good impression of Moran just now disappeared in an instant. However, Lingyu found that the village chief did not say anything, but was stroking his goatee and thinking about something.

"I'll get the gold coins for you two later." said the village chief.

"What village chief? I haven't heard of him, right?"

"Yes, Village Chief, that is the little money you have now."

Wu Jian and Wu Ming did not expect that the village chief would agree to this rude request. They even suspected that the two of them had used strange magic to control the village chief.

"I'm about to go to jail, why do I need so much money? If you two have nothing to do, you can go collect the vegetables outside to prevent the demon wolf from coming again."

After sending the two brothers away, the village chief stood up and spoke.

"Three gold coins is a lot of money, and that's all I have in my old bones."

The village chief pulled out a wooden box from under the bed. It was covered with dust and the iron chains on it were rusty. It looked like it had not been taken out for a long time.

The village chief took out three gold coins and the two of them could clearly see that there were only five in total. Lingyu began to regret not stopping Moran's robbery.

"Of course I know, so these three coins are the advance payment to the Demon Wolf King." Moran grabbed the gold coins and put them in his pocket.

"What?" Lingyu looked at Moran in surprise.

"Thank you so much, and I hope you two can get rid of this scourge as soon as possible." The village chief's expression hardly changed, and it seemed that he had guessed it a long time ago.

"But before that I have a question."

"You said."

"Although there are records of demon wolves in books, such creatures can only be born when ordinary wolves are contaminated with demonic energy. In short, such creatures can only be found in the territory of demons. Why do villages have such creatures?"

"Alas, after the demons landed on the shore, in order to more quickly eliminate the soldiers in the forest, they used magic energy on large numbers of wolves to control them. Now that the demons have been defeated and there is no one to control them, things have become like this." The village chief said helplessly. It seems that these things have troubled him for quite some time.

"We will definitely destroy the Demon Wolf King, so you don't have to worry." He looked at Moran. Demonic energy is something that only demons have.

"I'll be waiting for your good news." The village chief forced a smile on his wrinkled face.

After the discussion, Moran and Lingyu prepared to return to their house, but on the way back they could always hear villagers on the roadside talking about them.

Reiyu lay down on her bed after returning to her room, feeling a little mentally exhausted from using magic in the morning.

"I didn't expect that the Demon Wolf King was created by you, and I didn't expect you to meddle in such trivial matters." Lingyu looked at Moran on the side.

"It's not that I want to interfere. It's mainly because I can absorb some magic energy from the dead magic wolf to slightly improve my strength. I also feel a familiar breath on it, but I'm not sure yet."

Moran tried to recall where that familiar feeling came from by feeling, but in the end he could not remember anything.

Seeing Moran like this, Lingyu didn't have the time to disturb him, so she lay on the bed and took a nap to catch up on her magic.
