Chapter: 26

"You didn't investigate?" Raymond asked in surprise.

I don't have the energy to ask about the "scepter" card... Lumian smiled and said:

"Of course I investigated. Now I want to test your ability to collect intelligence."

Raymond had no doubts:

"There are nine old people who are still alive in the village, who are about the same age as my grandfather, or a little older, and they are..."

Six women and three men, the women really live longer... After listening quietly, Lumian thought for a while and said:

"The latter two don't need to visit, they are from other villages and married here.

"Uh... let's ask Naroka first, she is the oldest, and she was probably already an adult when the wizard incident happened."

Naroka's real name is not this, this is her honorific title.

In the province of Reston, married women with prominent family backgrounds or actual parents are entitled to the title "Madame", specifically adding an "a" at the end of the name to indicate a woman, and at the same time adding "Na" in front of the name, that is, "Madame", "hostess" means.

Mrs. Pouaris has been in decline for a long time, and secondly, she has to obey the words of the administrator Beost at home, so she cannot be called "Na" plus "a", and can only be called by a single "Madame".

Naroka's husband died young, and she took care of the entire family. Even after her two sons became adults, got married, had children, and she was old, she still held the financial power of the family.

This phenomenon is quite rare in Kordu Village. In most cases, men are dominant. In a family without a father, once the child grows up, he will naturally take back the power to manage the entire family from his mother.

"Okay." Raymond had no doubts.

After bypassing several buildings, Lumian saw four old women sitting in front of a two-story house, basking in the sun and chatting casually.

At the same time, sitting very close to each other, they caught lice on each other's bodies, looking quite leisurely.

——In the countryside of the Republic of Intis, catching each other's lice is a recreational activity to get closer and show intimacy.

"Ask now?" Raymond hesitated.

He was afraid that the fact that the two of them pursued the truth of the legend would spread.

"Wait a little longer." Lumian nodded heavily.

As far as he knew, many rumors in the village were generated through such gatherings and spread layer by layer.

After a while, the other three old women left one after another because they still had work at home.

"Good morning, Naroka." Lumian walked over immediately.

Naroka has gray hair, her eyes are slightly cloudy, she is wearing a dark long skirt made of coarse cloth, her hands seem to be covered with a layer of chicken skin, and her face has obvious spots.

"When will Aurora come out for the party? Many people in the village are thinking about her." Naroka looked at Lumian and asked with a smile.

A lot of men, right? Lumian entered the state where you said yours and I said mine, and said curiously:

"Naroka, I heard that you have seen a real wizard? The one who can't pull the coffin even with nine cows."

Naroka's expression changed slightly:

"Who told you?"

"His grandpa came back at night and told him." Lumian began to babble.
