Just a glance, Claire didn't move, and then saw a little girl who got out of nowhere, hugged the lamb in her arms, and looked at herself with a look of vigilance.

It was a six- or seven-year-old girl with brown hair and a pale complexion. She looked a little malnourished, but her smart eyes and delicate face were adorable.

But Claire is not a lolicon, so she won't have bad thoughts on a little girl.

"Hello." Claire waved and greeted with a friendly smile.

However, the girl was timid and didn't dare to say hello to Claire. She just looked at Claire with her big smart eyes, but she was not so vigilant. The big brother didn't seem to be stealing his own lamb.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Claire continued to keep a friendly smile: "My name is Claire, what's your name?"

The girl looked down at the sheep in her hand, then at Claire, and finally lowered her head and said in a very small voice, "Merry."

The voice was so small that if Claire hadn't listened carefully, Ben wouldn't have been able to hear it, but since the other party was willing to tell him his name, he could be considered to have such a good impression of him.

After all, the original owner of Claire looks good, and with his friendly smile, it is normal for a little girl to have a good impression of him.

After tentatively taking a few steps forward, the other party didn't run away. Claire calmed down and walked slowly to the position in front of Meili.

He squatted down, took out a candy wrapped in colorful candy paper from his arms, and handed it over: "Will you eat this candy?"

It can be seen that Mei Li's throat subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Although she has eaten candy before, it's all black candy. She has never seen such colorful candy.

Moreover, she has never eaten a few brown sugar on weekdays. This colorful candy must be many times better than brown sugar.

Although her head was still hesitating, Mei Li's little hand reached out unconsciously, and her smart eyes were full of desire.

"Merry! Don't take it!" A shout suddenly rang out, and a boy taller than Claire ran over from a distance, pulled Merry out of Claire's face at once, stretched out his hand and handed it out to Claire. The candy fell to the ground.

Crane pulled his sister out for several meters at once, then hid Meili behind him, and looked at Claire in front of him with vigilant eyes scrutinizing the bad guy.

But Claire didn't care, it was just a brother's beloved sister, and he wasn't that small.

"Merry, didn't I tell you, don't eat anything from strangers." At this time, Crane didn't forget to turn around and tell his sister.

But Mei Li didn't seem to be paying attention to him, but looked at the colorful candy that had been slapped on the ground with a distressed expression, and licked her lips, even if it was brown candy, she hadn't eaten it for months. .

Claire noticed Mei Li's gaze, and immediately picked up the candy that had fallen on the ground. It was wrapped in candy paper, so it wouldn't be a big problem even if it fell to the ground.

Not caring, Claire ripped open the candy paper and put the candy inside into her mouth.

At this time, even Crane couldn't help swallowing, let alone Meili behind him, the saliva was about to flow out.

"Look, there's no problem with the candy I gave her," Claire explained. "How old are you?"

The reason for this question is because the other party's majestic height of more than 1.9 meters actually has a delicate face that looks not too old, so Claire couldn't judge the other party's age for a while, and she said hello and pulled. Get into the relationship.

Although Crane remained vigilant, he replied, "I'm sixteen years old."

Claire nodded slightly, um, he is the same age as me, and he is actually a head taller than me, and the strength just now was quite strong.

But this is also normal. He is a junior magician. He will only compare his height and muscles with those warriors when he has cerebral palsy.

"Are you a knight?" Claire continued to ask.

"No, I'm still far from being a trainee knight." Crane shook his head, but his eyes were full of hope, "But I will definitely become a great knight in the future!"

"Oh!" Claire asked curiously when she heard the other party's words, "Why?"

"Because after becoming a knight, the family will be able to eat enough, and the conditions of the family will improve."

Speaking of such a simple wish, Crane blushed a little, but it was indeed his wish, and he had been working hard for it.

Only then did Claire realize that even this tall and sturdy older brother had a pale, hungry face, and was in a state of malnutrition just like his younger sister.

After a while of silence, Claire smiled again, "Your wish is very great, and it will definitely come true in the future."

"Really?" Crane became a little excited after being encouraged.

"Well, although I don't know if you can become a knight or not, it is possible to have enough food." Claire said softly, there was a saying in a previous life, isn't the most important thing in a person's life is to eat enough? ?

Now that he has become the lord of this territory, he is obliged to feed his people.

"What about my dream? Is it also great?" Crane asked. In the past, when he told his dream, he would be laughed at by others, but it seemed that the person in front of him seemed to be different from other people.

"I think it's great, isn't it the greatest thing to be able to protect your family?"

"Yeah!" Crane nodded vigorously.

Claire took out two colored candies from her arms like magic, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat candy now?"

Crane was still a little hesitant. Although the big brother in front of him didn't look like a bad person, his mother once told himself that he couldn't take things from strangers indiscriminately.

Claire couldn't help laughing. It's so difficult to give people a candy.

"Cran, where are you, Merry?"

A shout came from out of nowhere and echoed in this wheat field.

"Mom, we are here." My sister jumped up and waved.

Soon a woman ran over, hugged her sister at once, and protected Crane, who was much taller than her, behind her, looking at Claire with a wary expression.

"Uh uh..." Claire hesitated, why is it so difficult to give a candy by herself.

After the younger sister came a brother, and after the elder brother came a mother, should the father come next?

Before Claire could speak, the woman took her child's hand and walked out, keeping her eyes on Claire to prevent him from doing anything.

It was obvious that he was very afraid of outsiders.

It was at this time that Reagan also came over.

"Master, where are you? It's time to go." Regan shouted loudly, but before Claire could answer him, he found it.

He trotted all the way and stood respectfully behind Claire, just about to speak to persuade Claire, but saw the mother and son on the opposite side.

Reagan frowned subconsciously, "Master, why are you here with these bastards... civilians." Halfway through, Reagan thought of what Claire had just said and immediately changed his tune.

"Who are you! Why are you here?" The woman became even more vigilant after seeing Reagan coming, and picked up a stone directly from the ground and aimed it at them.

Reagan was furious, pointed at the three people on the opposite side and scolded: "Do you know who he is! The only heir of the Griffin family, how dare you point a stone at the young master!"

But Crane and the others obviously don't know what the so-called Griffin family is? She was still wary, but Mei Li knew that it was definitely not delicious.

"You're going to be beheaded!" Reagan warned.

Reagan wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by Claire's wave.

Claire could see that after Reagan uttered the threatening words, the woman's expression changed drastically, from vigilance to fear, and the fear on her face could be felt with her own eyes.

"thump!"

The woman immediately dropped the stone in her hand, pulled her son and daughter to kneel down, and looked extremely humble.

"Master noble, we know we're wrong, this month's tax is almost paid, please forgive us for a few days." The woman pleaded bitterly, how could there be the one just now to protect her children Fierce look.

That humble and dignified appearance made Claire feel awkward and uncomfortable. He had never seen such a scene in his previous life.

When they looked at the two children who were dragged by the woman to their knees, the normal eyes of the two suddenly became fearful after knowing that he was a noble, and the younger sister curled up into her mother's arms. Squeeze, without the agility of the first contact with Claire, the only thing left is boundless fear.

The woman didn't dare to lift her head, kept kneeling on the ground, and begged again, "Please don't increase the tax, otherwise our family will not be able to survive."

In her perception, it was because the nobles in Nafu City raised taxes that they could not afford to eat.

Claire looked at the mother and son in front of her, her heart trembled, and the expression on her face immediately became cold.

He couldn't bear to look directly at such a humble and tragic situation, he turned his head and walked away.

"Reagan, give them ten silver coins." Claire said softly, ten silver coins should be enough for them to live for a month or two.

Although Reagan was puzzled, after seeing his young master walking away, he still took out ten silver coins from his arms and threw them on the ground.

"This is what the young master gave you, so don't hurry up and say thank you!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" The woman thanked her in a streak.

It wasn't until Claire walked away that she stood up with her child.
