"What happened here?" The officer analyzes the situation with his men.
Three corpses of the soldiers lay on the ground along with the corpses of some villagers, one with a pierced eye and the other two with a ripped neck and a chest pierced by a sword.
"This was not the product of some kind of counterattack from the dead villagers; it may be the work of bandits although it is unlikely" A soldier reports after exhaustive analysis.
"Whatever happened here doesn't matter anymore." The officer turns his gaze to the remaining soldiers. "Although I am going to implement measures, everyone is on high alert and stay united, it will take us 3 days to return so I do not want heroes, understand soldiers?
"Yes sir!" The soldiers respond as one "
Meanwhile in the destroyed hacienda.
Bodies lying everywhere, the stench of blood and ashes is present in the environment.
Men, women, children, the elderly, babies, even enemy soldiers are eaten by insects and will soon rot in a cursed land.
Houses or camps were destroyed; the fire is present although only to a lesser extent.
Two people walk through the rubble watching the indiscriminate hecatomb, one of them holding a little girl.
Although this kind of macabre scene would make even people with strong mental stamina nervous, those two people walk normally.
"Big sister, why did we come back? Do you think there is hidden gold? The soldiers will have already taken it away if that were the case "
"My years as a thief were not in vain, perhaps the soldiers have taken part of the loot, but the rest is hidden in the farm"
Xian and Yao Yu returned to the farm; the idea came from Xian intending to obtain resources for their upcoming adventures.
"I don't know where your faith comes from that there is still gold in this place. The resources were very scarce and the commander of this place was not a rich or influential man "
Yao Yu is somewhat skeptical of Xian's ideas. The commander was a formerly retired officer who was granted a small portion of land near the border by the feudal lord for his military services. The commander's management was not outstanding or bad, nor did he want to compete with any other nobleman, he simply wanted to live a quiet life and help those in need by giving them shelter and work.
"Come on, have a little more trust in your Big sister, besides, when have I said any nonsense?" Xian spoke excitedly.
"Remembering our previous adventures, the assault on that carriage of that pompous woman and I told you that she was not a noblewoman" Yao Yu comments looking at the other side and such comment causes Xian to be ashamed.
"But thanks to that we got food" Xian comes over to hug her.
"It was just some sandwiches and some fruit, also the strange toys of that woman" The last part of the sentence Yao Yu says in a whisper.
Xian hears that whisper and her face turns even redder. "I dumped those things into the river."
"After several hours of your supposed 'analysis'"
"..."
Both girls arrive at the farm, the fire is still present in small remote areas.
"How many bodies are in the emergency exit; despair consumes rationality and that generates more deaths than the enemy itself" Yao Yu comments when she observes a small mountain of dead in a specific area of the farm.
Xian was carefully looking around the place until she found something that caught her eyes.
She removes some rubble and finds a small compartment that descends to a kind of basement, when she enters, she sees that it is a small warehouse with some barrels.
Xian tosses the empty barrels aside and looks more precisely at the stone wall, she taps the wall lightly in many places.
"Big sister, have you discovered something? Yao Yu approaches still holding Xian Yu in her arms.
Xian stops and punches the stone wall hard. Even though the wall is made of solid stone, it could not stop Xian's current strength, although her hand ended up with bruises and cuts.
She looks at her damaged hand, but it quickly regenerates visibly, reverting to a delicate white hand.
"This is the power of regeneration, fantastic." Xian smiles ecstatically at such an event, when she directs her gaze towards the hole in the wall her smile widens even more.
Four small bags of gold were hidden. Xian takes them without hesitation.
"You see, I was correct when there was a hidden treasure." Xian looks up with pride.
"I never doubted you, it's just that sometimes those treasures have strange things or are little" Yao Yu speaks patting him on the head.
Xian blushes a little from such childish caresses but doesn't stop them.
"Thanks to my new powers I was able to find this gold, although I had to get closer because the wall is made of very thick and solid stone," Xian says "It seems that I must be stronger so that this power is more efficient"
"Mine allows me to see events that will happen after a few seconds, it is like seeing the future of an immediate and real event" Yao Yu also speaks seriously "When you attacked at that time, I could see the action that the soldiers took and why that attacks that particular soldier "
Xian plunges into her thoughts "It is too early to say what our innate powers are, but it is better to develop them and effectively control these abilities to provide support and security to the Queen."
Xian caresses the cheeks of Xian Yu who is peacefully asleep.
"Time to go" Xian carries the luggage which is a large bag with ease.
"Where will we go?" Yao Yu asks.
"The best place is always in the face of the enemy, the Zhang fiefdom," Xian says cheerfully as they leave the place.
When they both left the ranch, Xian quickly grabs Yao Yu and they hide in some rubble.
Yao Yu says nothing and waits.
"I see 7 humans with sticks and short swords, you search the houses and camps, they are scavengers"
Definition of people who take advantage of attacked villages to obtain resources.
"We must ignore them, our priority is to protect the Queen and not kill humans," Yao Yu says seriously. "The other time I listened to you, but this time fighting against them is not a priority"
Xian looks at Yao Yu and this time his desire to fight is dissipated.
"It's okay big sister, but at least let me kill two of them," Xian says holding two stones.
"Okay" Yao Yu permits by shaking her head.
Xian aims and with rapid shots two men are killed. The rest go on alert taking cover in the rubble.
"Now if we can go"
Both sisters walk away with this time with money.
