Strange, why didn't I hear him come up to me?

Am I really not that attentive? If everyone can sneak up on me from behind, then I certainly won't stay in this world.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Flor. Let me express my gratitude to you for saving my life. I don't even know where I would be right now if it weren't for you - after finishing speaking, the guy bowed slightly, not knowing how best to express his gratitude

- Nice to meet you, my name is Guillem Flor, I'm glad that people of your age still remember the rules of decency, but still your gratitude does not belong to me in full. You were saved by my maid, I only allowed you to stay in my house. And who would I be if I just took and left you on the street- and he made an impression. I think some quest will appear soon, where I can repay him for my salvation. A good, albeit hackneyed plot to start the plot. This world is more and more like a game.

Noticing that Guillem was waiting for something, the guy started up

- Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lukrut Volv-

-Lukrut? Quite a rare name, if not unique. Are you not from these lands?-

- About this... to be honest, I don't know where I'm from - And the guy told Guillem his story, starting from waking up on the beach and meeting him. Of course, he omitted part of the story that he was from another world and that he had some abilities, but otherwise he was honest. However, the story, although it did not take much time, but throughout the narrative, Mr. Flor listened attentively to the guy, fixing his piercing gaze on him.

- I wonder - he summed up - How about a little walk? I'll show you around-

-With pleasure-

And they went along the road leading from the house of Flora, towards the village of peasants. The sun had already passed the zenith and was beginning its slow descent to the horizon, but it was still far from sunset. The guy didn't know if the seasons here corresponded to those in his home world, but it felt like it was the beginning of autumn or the end of spring. However, the clothes he was given were warm enough, but if autumn was really coming now, he needed to take care of warm clothes. About such thoughts occupied his head as they slowly walked towards the village.

During the journey, Guillem did not utter a word, which made the guy uncomfortable. Lukrut peered into his face, trying to understand what his thoughts were doing, but he was impenetrable.

You should be playing poker with that face... Don't get me wrong, of course I'm grateful to you and all that, but the fact that you're taking me to no one knows where, and you're silent all the way.... it's a little annoying. Usually such situations in games and books do not lead to anything good. Maybe you want to leave me with your peasants? And what, free labor....

Although, possibly I'm winding myself up in vain, and he'll just give me some kind of quest? It would be nice

"Is something wrong?"- asked Guillem

- And? -

- You look at me suspiciously somehow-

-No... I just...-

Flor just smiled

- Don't worry, if I wanted to hurt you, I just left you in the field right? - Man, if you played games from my world, you would know that this happens in every second game.... and usually it ends very badly

- I think you're right-

- Great, especially since we're almost there - he said and pointed ahead.

In front of them, a peasant village sprawled in a small valley. Wooden houses stretched in several irregular rows, forming a kind of circle, in the center of which, apparently, was the main square. In total, Lukrut counted twenty houses, of which at least three were completely or partially stone, the rest were simply wooden. Next to the square stood the only two-storey house he saw, apparently the head of the village.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

On the square in the center there was a large barrel on a wooden platform, several low benches roughly made of planks, as well as a well installed on the outskirts of the square. On the roofs of some houses there were unusual structures, the purpose of which the guy did not immediately understand, but after looking closely, he recognized them as skin dryers.

In general, it was an ordinary village, quite typical for a book or a game.

This place is very similar to the starting location in the games. I think they will definitely give me a quest here.

Looking around, the guy began to notice the names of the villagers floating in the air. All the inhabitants that caught his eye were of the first level and only a few reached the second.

As expected from the starting location. All local NPS are low-level, which is not surprising. Apparently there are about a hundred people living here, and even if they are all weak, you should not anger them, because there are more of them. It doesn't cost anything for such a crowd to tear me to pieces. Well, then it remains for me to make friends with them, who knows, maybe they will give me something? For example, weapons or supplies, and I would be glad to have a backpack.

- Well, how do you like the village? Flor finally asked when they reached the central square

- To be honest, I'm impressed. When you mentioned the village, I could not imagine that it was so big and yet it seems that you are doing a great job with it!-

"Ah-ha-ha! Young man, you have a good tongue!- seeing how amused Flor was, the guy also smiled

- That is, that is, - he answered with a shrug

-An interesting phrase - Guillem looked curiously at the young man, and then went on, continuing the tour

Well, yes, perhaps it's better for me to keep some verbal turns to myself, even though we speak the same language, do not forget that this world seems to be close to the Middle Ages, so many words may not be familiar to locals.

I wonder if if I say that the earth is round, they won't burn me at the stake?. Although, after all, this is not my home world, perhaps the earth here is really flat .......

- Good afternoon, Mr. Flor!-

Breaking away from his thoughts, Lukrut turned in the direction of the scream

Thomas Reed

LV1

[villager] [farmer] [good-natured]

A man came out of the nearest house and walked towards them. If our hero had been asked to describe a stereotypical peasant, it would have been Thomas Reed. Medium height, well-built man, in a typical shirt and pants. Even the facial features were somehow.... ordinary?

- Good afternoon, Tom-

And of course, he knows all his peasants by name....

-Meet Lukrut, he is a guest in our area-

-Glad to meet you, I am Thomas Reed-

- Likewise, I am Lukrut Volv-

After exchanging greetings, the peasant exchanged a couple of phrases with Guillem and went about his business. Flor continued to show the young man the village, at the same time answering his questions.

"Thank you very much for everything, Mr. Flor," the guy said after he reached the edge of the village.

- Please, just call me Guillem, on this island everyone just calls me Mister Flor, I'll forget my own name so soon-

- Okay.., Guillem-

Flor nodded with a grin and they moved on. Ahead, fifty meters away, a sheer cliff stretches to the ocean. Salt water greedily licked granite blocks, trying in vain to reach the top of the cliff. Lukrut went to the very edge, assessing the surrounding views. Below, the foam lambs were twirling merrily, covering the water surface with a shaky foam.

- It's incredibly beautiful here!-

- This is something else, the sunsets here are really incredible!-

-I hope that I will be able to see it one day-

-By all means, you won't forget this. They say that once in a lifetime you can see here something that will turn your life around. It sounds strange, but it’s true - So you've seen something like this?-

-Yes, once-

Suddenly Flora's face darkened, but he immediately shook his head, returning from gloomy memories.

- Okay, I think we should get back. And don't worry, you can stay in my house until you decide what to do next or until the memories come back. If you need anything, contact Kray, she will help, I will also be happy to keep you company, but I have a lot to do, so you'll have to wait before we meet again-

-Thank you very much, I don't even know how to thank you-

-It's nothing, who would I be if wouldn't I help you?-

I like this NPS more and more. I think this is how it should be in the initial location.

- I don't know how yet, but someday I will thank you, Guillem-

-Ha-ha-ha well, then I will certainly wait for this day!-

The guy just smiled

- Then, let's go back-

Lukrut had already decided to leave, but then his attention was attracted by something that was behind one of the peasant houses.

- Wait a bit - he said and ran towards the house

Finally something worthwhile!

- Are you interested in this? I won't say I didn't expect something like this. Well, turn to the locals, they will be happy to help you with this -

-I will do the first thing tomorrow,"

Lukrut replied, looking at the bow target in front of him.
