Whis Village

After talking for a while, Satria finally said goodbye to go with Trixi and Alexa to Whis Village. They had found a house they wanted to sell. They walked along the streets of Lunar City until they came out of the city area and along the road to the village. Trixi said it would take them about thirty minutes to reach her village. Along the way, they passed several villages and agricultural fields cultivated by the villagers. It's been more than twenty minutes since they walked while talking. Satria was amazed by Trixi and Alexa, who walked back and forth like that every day. "Do you always walk?" asked Satria. "Yeah, besides riding a horse-drawn carriage, it's healthier to walk like this," Trixi replied. "But Alexa used to stop very often when she walked like this. He seems to be used to it only now, " Trixi with a chuckle. "Trixi," Alexa said, her face red with embarrassment. "That's a natural thing. After all, walking this far is exhausting," said Satria. "But it looks like you've gotten used to it," said Alexa. "I have long been used to walking this far," answered Satria while looking up at the sky, which was starting to turn red because it was already evening. "Oh yeah, you look stiff, Sat. Your face and words are always serious like that," Trixi said bluntly. Maybe after seeing them enough times, it felt like they were close. "Sorry if I bother you. But I'm like this," said Satria without feeling offended in the slightest. "Hehehe.. you don't have to apologize either. I'm just surprised," Trixi said with a laugh. Alexa also seemed to think the same as her friend. But it can't be helped. Satria herself doesn't even remember the last time he laughed because he was joking. So far, he could only laugh as he fought his foe. Even so, Satria didn't care in the slightest. It seems that the impact of bullying and t*****e from his friends for more than two years has indeed made him like that. They kept walking until they finally arrived at Whis Village. Shady and neat trees were planted on the edge of the village road. A large river could be seen stretching in front of them, separating Whis Village from the other village. The three of them immediately climbed the bridge and arrived at the village mainland. There was a tall, towering hill standing behind the residents' houses. There were even a few houses that were seen on the hill. The fields of plants look green along the river, which is the means of irrigation. Orchards also thrive around the fields. The houses of the residents seemed to be standing neatly. The residents who passed by them looked very polite and friendly. After walking for a while, they finally arrived in front of Trixi's house. Trixi's house looks quite big, has two floors, and is wider than the houses around it. They also have a small area planted with vegetables next to it. But there is one house that looks much bigger and more spacious than Trixi's house. That house is right across from Trixi's house. There is a vegetable and fruit garden there. The house also has two floors. "This is my house. Let's go in," said Trixi, opening the door. "We're home," Trixi said. "Older sister!" heard a voice from within. Two small children immediately came to Trixi, one girl who looked taller and the youngest was a boy. They looked surprised when they saw Satria. "Nixi, Dex, this is Satria, who Alexa often talks about," said Trixi. "Oh, you," Alexa grumbled. "Eh. Creepy," said Trixi's little sister while hiding behind Trixi. Her name is Nixi. "Ara.. you, don't be like that. It's not polite. Come on in. Dad is home, right?" Trixi said while stroking Nixi's hair. "Yes, Sis," Dex replied, continuing to stare at Satria before they finally went back inside. "I'm sorry, my brothers, Sat. They really like to be outspoken like that," said Trixi with a sweet smile. "It doesn't matter. I'm not the type of person who has a temper with small children," replied Satria. "After all, their attitude is the same as yours," Satria thought. The three of them immediately entered the interior of the house. A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman greeted them. Luxi is Trixi's mother, while her father's name is Foxi. From them, Satria finally found out that Foxi was the Village Chief of Whis, not surprising indeed because their house was also a bit different from the others. It was getting dark. Satria finally joined the meal together with Trixi's family. After finishing dinner, they discussed the house that would be offered to Satria. The house was right in front of them. Satria and Foxi finally came out of their residence and headed to the house on the other side. The light of bright lanterns seemed to have adorned the streets of Whis Village and the houses of the residents. Satria's sense of tidiness and order in the village must have contributed to Foxi as the village head. And sure enough, it turned out that Foxi and Luxi were former adventurers who decided to settle in Whis Village decades ago. They have the experience of traveling to several cities in several kingdoms. That's why Foxi gradually teaches his knowledge to the villagers until finally, everything looks orderly and neat as it is now. "Oh, Mr. Foxi. Please come in, sir," said an old man with white hair who opened the house door on the other side. "Please have a seat," the old man said as he poured the drink into the empty cup on the table. "I came here with people who want to buy this house," said Foxi while introducing Satria. The older adult nodded in understanding. He explained that he was also actually just a servant in the house. The house owner was a noble in the Capital named Glar Dea Roame. Usually, they use the house only for vacations. Still, suddenly a few days ago, they asked the servant to pack up things and sell the house immediately. There was not even anything other than the maid's clothes at this time in the house. That's why the servant asked Foxi's help to find someone who would buy his house. Satria just nodded in understanding even though he was still confused about why the owner of the house sold his vacation spot. It was as if they would never come to Whis Village again. The servant also did not know the exact reason for his master. He was only doing what he was told at this time. "So, how much is your offer for this house?" asked the waiter while looking at Satria. Satria was pensive for a moment considering everything. "How about ten thousand gold coins?" offered Satria, a little doubtful. Even though he currently had a lot of gold coins, he had to be careful in such negotiations. "Hehehe.. sir, although this residence is in a small village, the conditions and area are quite large if you compare it to an ordinary hut. How about increasing the bid again to over thirty thousand and five hundred gold coins?" said the waiter with a small laugh. At the same time, Foxi looks just observing it. "My money is also not as much as the noble lord you serve. So I can only pay twenty thousand gold coins. I also don't want to take too long to negotiate, "said Satria while placing four bags of gold coins, each containing 5,000 gold coins that Satria had prepared. "Okay. I also have to go immediately to the Capital tomorrow. So I received twenty thousand gold coins. Even though you are still young, it turns out that you have quite a lot of money," said the waiter while taking the money bag that Satria had prepared. "I like to work hard. I don't want to be a human being who is looked down upon by others because I'm poor," said Satria. "Hehehe .. your answer is very realistic. Tomorrow you can occupy this house. Don't worry because I cleaned everything this afternoon until it was clean without dust," said the waiter. "Thank you very much," replied Satria. Foxi, who witnessed the sale and purchased, immediately inaugurated the transaction. He said he would immediately take care of his land certificate tomorrow morning to Lunar City. The servant said that the land title affairs would be easily resolved tomorrow as well because the master had connections in the government and noble's divisions in Lunar City. Satria and Foxi immediately said goodbye and returned to Foxi's house. There they talked about many things. Foxi and Luxi frankly really wanted to meet Satria because Trixi and Alexa often spoke about it. Satria didn't care about it and immediately asked Foxi's opinion. He said he had not found a handyman to renovate Lixia's shop and residence. Satria did it on purpose because, as a village head, Foxi's relations were far more than he had just come to this world. Foxi said that he could ask the craftsmen in his village to work for Satria as well as provide job opportunities for them. Foxi said that the craftsmen in his village were quite reliable. At a glance, Satria can tell that Foxi is indeed an ideal leader. He not only thinks about his people but is also not the type of person who likes to take advantage of others. Even though from the sale of the noble's house, he should also be able to take advantage. Satria thought maybe Foxi did it because of his daughter's friend. "Okay. Tomorrow I will bring all the things from the Lixia residence here. Please, sir, just call the head of the handyman. Let me negotiate directly with him about the price," said Satria. "Of course, I'll pass it on," Foxi replied. "Then I'll say goodbye, sir, tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I'll just come here again," said Satria as he stood up. "Eh? Why not just stay? After all, it's already night," said Foxi. "Sorry, sir, maybe another time. At Aunt Miria's house, there are only women. I have to help them lift their things tomorrow morning. I'm also an adventurer, after all. It doesn't matter if I walk at night too," said Satria, still forcing him to leave. "Don't you want to meet Alexa and Trixi first?" Foxi asked as he got up. "Excuse me, sir, please tell them that I say goodbye to them. After all, tomorrow, I will also come back here, "said Satria. Foxi just nodded in understanding. He also couldn't possibly force Satria to stay at his house. Satria immediately walked back down the village streets to return to Lunar City. He wished everything could go faster and smoother. Even today, he felt that some odd and unusual things were confusing him.
