It took a long time for Hughes to look up solemnly.

"The stakes in this are not small, if we rashly intervene in it, once we are targeted by any force, we will lose more than we gain, and we will not even be able to protect ourselves. ”

Regarding Shoggers' judgment, Thor nodded and said:

"So until we come up with a relatively safe solution to the marketing problem, don't try to get involved. In short, I will share the benefits with you as a source of offering money for our early departure from the monastery. ”

Xiugues looked up at Thor deeply, and finally said nothing, believing that with the friendship they had now, they would not be shaken by a few bags of coins.

As for the sharing of interests, the inquiry of the next intelligence, the search for the sales of the drug, and the coordination of all aspects of the relationship, Xiugus believes that there is always an opportunity for his own contribution.

It was impossible to say that he would not be tempted by the interests behind the potion, but Shogues was not too eager.

This is a matter that needs to be considered in the long run, otherwise not to mention obtaining wealth, it is possible to lose one's life if you are not careful.

Just around the corner, Shogues kicked a tightly tied cloth bag on the ground with his toes, then turned to look at Thor.

"Tell me, then, what are you stealing this food for?"

The famine was over, and the stolen food was piled up in the corners of the walls, apparently not for food.

Thor's busyness came to a halt abruptly.

This guy is as sharp as a grey-haired hound.

There was a moment of silence, and Thor seemed to have made up his mind before he spoke again.

"Melissa is alive. ”

This answer was inexplicable, and he was not used to the jumpiness of such an abrupt topic, which Thor had already brought up more than once.

"Yes, didn't I tell you in the winter, she is not only alive, but alive and well. ”

"Don't tell me you didn't see her in the monastery today, every time I think of that sow it makes me think that the monsters of the wilderness have run to town, don't ...... anymore"

Thor directly interrupted Shogues.

"I'm going to kill her, in a short time. ”

There was a sudden silence at the bottom of the well.

For a moment, Shogues felt that Thor's voice was a little trance and unreal, as if it were coming from under the water. When he looked up, Thor obviously didn't have the slightest hint of joking on his face, and his tone was only cold and firm.

Shogues looked shocked, and he suddenly realized that he probably didn't know Thor as well as he thought he would.

Although the town of Gray Curtain in different periods is chaotic and has no moral bottom line, there is still some kind of order, of course, the so-called order only exists to protect the interests of the rich and those who are high.

There are roughly two kinds of people in Grey Curtain Town that cannot be provoked, one is the various forces entrenched in the town, such as the major guilds. If you provoke them without enough strength to protect yourself, you will most likely die.

The other is someone who has a relationship with Mayor Elton.

If you move Elton Sr.'s interests or challenge his rights, you'll have a hard time gaining a foothold in Grey Screen. It won't be useful if you kill the mayor, because Elton represents an intertwined group of interests.

Melissa's place in Greyscreen is somewhat special.

She was a prominent clergyman in the Finis Abbey and the wife of Chad Herrick.

And Chad Herrick is not only the owner of the 'Golden Rose' tavern in the North End of Grey Curtain, but also the younger brother of Mayor Elton Herrick.

People may not understand the intricate entanglement of interests behind this marriage, but everyone has enough admiration for Chad's courage to marry a fierce woman like Melissa.

From this disgusting combination, it is clear that Melissa belongs to Elton's camp.

In fact, it is true that almost half of the Abbey's monthly income goes to Mayor Elton's pocket through Melissa.

Theoretically, a married woman cannot become a nun, which is tantamount to blasphemy, but in Grey Curtain it doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

At the hands of Elton, the town elder, Melissa not only entered the convent, but was also promoted to such a position as the head nun, and no one ever questioned it.

Killing a clergyman is definitely not a trivial matter.

Even if the Dark Temple doesn't bother to ask about the life or death of a divine servant because Greycurtain Town is on the edge, with Melissa's local connections and influence, Mayor Elton alone can't get past it.

One can imagine how much of a storm Melissa will make in Grey Curtain once she dies.

In Xiugus's view, there are actually many ways to kill Melissa, whether it is poisoning or sneak attacking, but the real difficulty is not how to kill the other party, but how to get out of it afterwards.

So this matter is even more dangerous than reselling potions.

"Why?" asked Hughes after a brief silence.

Instead of blindly dissuading Thor, he was ready to find out the cause of the whole thing first, and then judge from the root cause.

"Do you remember Sister Presia?"

"Of course, isn't she dead?" said Hughes, nodding his head.

In fact, almost none of the orphans who have been in the convent will forget the gentle and beautiful shadow, but when the famine was raging at the beginning, the convent had two nuns and three orphans who died in the chaos, and Presia's name was among them.

Although Shughes was not in the monastery at the time, he heard the news vaguely later.

"She did die, she was six years older than me, and now she's only five years older than me. ”

Thor's expression gradually dimmed, and his voice was a little hollow, like a small stone rolling down into the abyss.

Shogues's gaze flickered quickly, and from Thor Sol's words, Precia had been dead for almost a year, and her death seemed to have something to do with the head nun Melissa.

"Is it worth it? I mean taking a huge risk just to ...... Uphold this justice. ”

After scratching his head and thinking for a long time, Hughes found the word 'justice' to express what he wanted to say, after all, this word was too far away from the world of orphans.

Thor didn't answer, just began to narrate in fits and starts.

There was an eerie calmness in the voice, like a rotten log being dragged alone from the swamp of memory.

Precia was also an orphan, but she did not leave the Convent of Phoenix after the rite of passage, but stayed as a nun.

It was a beautiful and warm girl, with a gentle character, warm and energetic, and it was hard to imagine that she was once one of the indifferent orphans.

Perhaps because she was an orphan herself, when Precia was on duty, she would make sure that the food was distributed as fairly as possible to each orphan.

And when an orphan has experienced bullying and grievances, and has a grudge against everything, she will soothe your heart with gentle eyes and words.

Precia doesn't take special care of Thor, but treats other orphans equally.

On the surface, Thor is withdrawn and silent, and seems to be very disciplined, but in fact, he is far more stubborn than other orphans.

Most of the time, Thor was a complete cold bystander, occasionally watching the beautiful figure busy among the orphans.

She is so shining, as if she is radiating warmth and light to her surroundings all the time.

Thor was unimpressed, and it was hard for him to imagine how such a world of suffering could have given birth to such elves.

She is so beautiful and kind that she does not fit in with this sordid world, and Thor believes that this kind of pure person has a high probability of ending in tragedy, because she is only an orphan, and she has no power or protection behind her.

Later, with Presia's intelligence, she finally noticed Sol, a guy who was inconsistent with his appearance.

So under the half-exhortation and half-seduction of Precia, Saul began to read and write, and she opened the door to another world for him.

Precia tells Saul that knowing the world in which one lives is the most important thing in the early stages of one's life.

In addition to this, she also taught Saul to think about the meaning of existence. Dreams, futures, freedom, glory, words that have nothing to do with orphans are spoken from her beautiful lips.

She even mentions the sun, the moon, the stars, the king...... , those words that are too ancient to exist in this dark world, and are deeply sunk in the river of human history.

All of this is subverting the closed, narrow, and baseless conjectures about this world that Saul had constructed in his heart in the past.

Maybe it's because of the long time together, some vague emotions have unconsciously become profound.

When the two of them are together, Precia is casual and natural, and she never hides her playfulness or the little complaints that are peculiar to girls in front of Saul.

When Thor has improved in his knowledge, she will pat Thor on the knotted head with dirty hair as a sign of encouragement. Every day, she would also cover for Thor so that Thor could spend at least two hourglasses in the underground library of the monastery.

Looking back now, it should be the only ray of light in my gray childhood.
