Because he was in a good mood and also out of a bit of curiosity, Dickie greeted the short figure who looked like a little girl to him from a distance.
Obviously, he didn't know that the other party was not a little girl but Lo Lan, the head of the Minohorn family.
"Hello, little miss, thank you for helping everyone. I'm sure everyone is very grateful."
When he said these words, Dickie used a coaxing tone. After all, no matter how he looked at the short mysterious figure under the hood, she seemed to him just like a little girl.
"How annoying. I am not a child. I just grow a little slower."
What Lo Lan disliked the most was people treating her like a little kid, so hearing Dickie's remarks, she immediately retorted strongly. And after speaking, she turned her head to the other side and didn't even look at Dickie again.
Facing this situation, Dickie started to scratch the back of his head while smiling awkwardly.
In the meantime, the old butler standing next to Lo Lan took a close look at Dickie's appearance, who was neatly dressed. Suddenly he felt like the appearance of the boy in front of him matched the description of a person from a rumor that he recently heard. So to confirm his guess, he asked slowly:
"You do not seem like a pastor of some church, nor the children of some noble family trapped outside the city. Dare I ask, what is your identity?"
"My identity? I am Dickie. Nice to meet you, and thank you very much for helping the refugees."
Dickie didn't have any reason to conceal his identity. After all, in his opinion, he was just a little-known bard; also, it seemed to him that the three people on the opposite side were just asking out of pure curiosity.
However, hearing his answer, the first person to respond was not the old butler who asked the question, but Lo Lan, who was still sulking about the age problem a few moments ago. Now she completely forgot about the "who was older and who was younger" problem and hastily asked aloud:
"Dickie, you are that Incredibly handsome Dickie?"
This sentence made Dickie a little puzzled, although he always dreamed that one day he would be called "Master Dickie, you are so handsome" by a beautiful girl. But being in such a situation now, he felt more uncomfortable than excited from his extra nickname.
"Yes, I am Dickie, but am I that famous?"
Dickie looked at the three people in front of him in a daze. Although Bilan said he was handsome, but he never thought that it would be to the extent that he could become famous because of it.
In fact, Dickie underestimated his worth. His "information" as Bilan's lover had been known to many nobles in Dolez City.
One should know that his lover was not an ordinary person. Even if only in name, Bilan was Punk's only apprentice. If it weren't for the rigid pastors of those churches who refused to let any infected person into the city, Bilan would have been welcomed back by her family instead of suffering in this refugee camp.
After all, what kind of character was Punk Saian? An extremely powerful official mage, who was on an equal footing with the guardian of Dolez city, Bahanger, and even the city lord had to be respectful toward such a person.
So, everyone's information related to such a powerhouse could be said to be a strategic-level resource. Although because of the inconveniency in information transmission of this world, ordinary people could not understand this, but the nobles with good connections would never leave such information behind.
What's more, many 2nd generation noble descendants were interested in knowing how Dickie, as an ordinary person, gained Bilan's favor.
But finally, finding out that he did not have any outstanding abilities, most of them simply attributed it to his handsome appearance. And like this, he got the title of "the handsome Dickie."
As a member of the noble class, Lo Lan obviously also knew of the existence of Dickie, but she did not expect that the guy in front of her who was just a little bit handsome was actually Dickie.
Lo Lan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She previously thought that Dickie must be a devilishly handsome man who could melt the heart of even the most icy beauty. But Dickie obviously didn't meet her expectations.
"Well, Dickie, take us to see Bilan. I have very important things to report to Lord Punk."
At this time, Lo Lan's words were very rude as she already started to look down on this kind of "pretty boy" who could only rely on his women. Not to mention she, as Punk's business partner, saw herself on equal footing with Bilan.
This time, the main purpose of Lo Lan and his party coming to the refugee camp was to find Bilan in order to contact Punk, and the distribution of food was just a disguise.
The reason for her sudden need to contact Punk was that she had recently discovered some terrible news. Originally, Lo Lan thought that Bilan, who had been staying in the refugee camp, had already discovered these things and reported them to Punk in time. But even after waiting for such a long time, nothing changed, and as the enemy's plan was about to begin, she became anxious and decided to report to Punk personally.
But it wasn't until then that she remembered that she didn't seem to know how to contact Punk at all.
So an anxious Lo Lan could only come to the refugee camp to find Bilan.
"As Punk's apprentice, Bilan must have a way to contact Punk."
This was Lo Lan's thought.
What she did not expect was how hard it would be to find Bilan, and in order to conceal her purpose, she also had to distribute grain while searching. At this moment, Lo Lan could still feel a few malicious gazes staring at herself from the dark.
But she had no way to avoid surveillance from other noble families as her action of helping the refugees hurt the interest of many big nobles.
So, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't get Bilan's whereabouts from the other nobles.
In fact, seeing that even after visiting all the nobles the day before and not getting a simple "Where was Bilan" answer, Lo Lan realized that she had been completely isolated by all the nobles of Dolez city, including the city higher-ups, without even realizing it.
Although no one dared to do anything to her because of Punk's backing, but much indirect suppression was unavoidable.
Faced with this fact, although Lo Lan was very angry, she did not feel much depressed.
The act of assisting the refugees could not be concealed. And this kind of thing was diametrically opposed to the general tone of the entire Dolez noble circle, so now she had to travel alone in order to defeat the noble's selfish and cruel plans.
Anyway, she was destined to be hostile with the nobles of Dolez city, so it didn't matter even if it happened a little earlier.
Now, Lo Lan firmly believed that as long as she found Punk, she would be able to stop the nobles' conspiracy. And even if Punk didn't care, as long as she told about it to the really kind Lord Kang Kai, then this conspiracy would definitely be stopped.
But the problem was she couldn't find Punk, let alone Kang Kai.
Now the three top power of Dolez, Punk, Bahanger, and Kang Kai, were preparing to leave, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the little actions of the nobles.
But things that were irrelevant to the official-level powerhouses might be an earth-shattering matter for the ordinary people. The kind-hearted Lo Lan couldn't sit idly by or even get along with it.
Just as she was at a loss, Dickie appeared.
And after hearing her request, the young boy smiled brightly and simply agreed.
"Okay, come with me."
In Dickie's view, Lo Lan's request was not excessive. Although it was a bit weird that she urgently needed to meet Bilan, but since the other party was distributing food to the refugees, she should be a good person.
Dickie's worldview was just that simple, and according to him
"You are a good person if you do good things," It was an unrefutable fact.
