Section 316: Choices and Costs IV.
Marceau learned of the attack half an hour later, and the city guard team managed to find the cat cub sitting in front of a wonton stall run by the Cylisians in the crowd of people waiting for the original game food.
Following the city guard team to the scene, Marceau saw two gnomes lying on the bridge, passing by one of them had an obvious hole in the forehead, no matter how obvious the way to die, was it good marksmanship or luck?
Thinking so, as she passed by another dwarf, Marceau saw the one lying in a pool of blood, with blood and wounds all over his chest and abdomen, and the dwarf's left hand was still twisted towards the sky, it was obvious that it had struggled, but it was said that Aleuk was still alive, and it was not successful enough to think about it.
Then Marceau saw the body covered by the blanket, and the calfskin boots peeking out from under the blanket made the kitten flutter, and then patted the little head of the kitten in his arms for fear of death.
"Let's go. ”
As the city guards arrived at the treatment area, they saw Eleuk, who was half-faced with stitched wounds and an eyepatch in his right eye, who glanced at Marceau and shook his head: "Marceau, let Changjiu or Anne take this child away." ”
So Marceau put the little guy on the ground, motioned for Anne to come and take Mororo to leave first, and after seeing Anne lead the little guy away, Marceau turned her head to look at Eleuk: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Those two gnomes were Assassins united in the South, and it was Yurika who saved me, but she died. Eleuc looked at Marceau, "Marceau, my teachers have always told me that heirs like me should not scuffle with others in the dust, that is not what I should do...... Now it seems, they were all wrong, and I had to roll in the dust. For I cannot fail the man who will give his life to me, and the man who will die in my place...... This is true both in the game and in reality. ”
"yes, just like we don't go looking for trouble, but trouble will come to us, I've never been" and wanted to come out again. I don't want to pay it back. Marceau reached out and wiped the tip of his nose, and asked with some curiosity about the wound on Eleuk, "Your face...... Don't you use healing magic to treat your wounds? ”
"No, I'm going to keep them and let them remind me of myself...... I've made mistakes, and there are people who are willing to die for me. Eleuk touched the wound on his face, and finally he stood up, picked up the leather robe he had taken off, and the young man in the blood-stained sub-demon shirt strode up: "I'll go back to the hotel first." ”
But Marceau stopped Aleuc with a voice. The kitten looked at the boy a little embarrassed, and even more embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Eliuk, I think the reason why these guys attacked you is because of my ...... affairs" "No, Marceau, I have heard stories about the god of revenge, and you are the agent of the god of revenge. Your camp is chaotic and good, which proves that there is no innocent person who dies at your hands...... That's good. Because it made me understand that my anger would not hurt the innocent and good because of what I was going to do next. ”
Eleuk turned his head to look at Marceau, as if sensing the doubts and uneasiness in the kitten's heart, the little guy tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the sutured wound pulled into a terrible twist: "My father said that things in the game are left to be solved in the game. Since some people feel that violence and killing are the best way to enforce what they think is order, then I should also show them what real violence and killing are, because in my eyes, there is no place for them in the real order, and everyone must pay for their choices...... I've already paid for it. Now it's their turn. ”
“…… All right. "Marceau thinks it's great that this person can think like this, those wastes should also be taught some lessons, no matter what means Aleuk uses to reciprocate, the Southern Solidarity has nothing to say, because they did wrong in the first place - assassinating the innocent friends around the target, this kind of thing is unacceptable no matter how much you wash the ground, even if you get it to the Guild Alliance, you can't clear your own malice, these guys...... The price that must be paid.
Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, Marceau felt that as a half-breed of the Cylis, the Tershan, the Garol, and the Rael, the blood in Eliuk had already taught him everything in silence.
"Mororo. Thinking of this, Marceau asked.
Aeryk, who had been striding away, stopped, he lowered his head as if to think for a while, and finally chose to turn around, he pointed to his stitched face: "Aren't you afraid that I will scare the child." ”
"In this damn paradise, children also have the right to face life and death. Marceau pointed behind her, and Anne and the child had been wandering away from the other side of the bridge and not far: "I don't know what you have to do with the child's mother, I just think that since she died for you...... At the very least, you have to give her child an explanation in person, and this explanation is not to let him go offline to his mother, or to tell him that it is just a game, but to tell him...... He has a mother who is willing to die for his friend, you have to thank him and his mother, even if such a death is not real, he is a child after all, isn't he. ”
Aeryk was silent, and finally he nodded, "Take me to Mororo." ”
So Marceau and Long Ago were in front, and Eleuk was behind, and the trio came to Anne who was holding Mororo, and the kitten cub who was being held by her sister looked at the three who appeared in front of her with some nervousness: "What about my mother." ", he asked.
“…… Your mother is dead. Eleuk finally got straight to the point.
Mororo blinked and nodded, "You mean in the game." ”
"Yes...... I'm sorry, little one, but I didn't protect your mother, but I owed her my life. Aeryk reached out and touched Mororo's little head, "I'm sorry. ”
Mororo pursed his lips and stared at Eleuk until the little creature finally spoke, "Mother died for you...... You must be Uncle Eleuk, as your mother used to mention, right? ”
As soon as the word 'uncle' appeared, Eleuk's entire face was distorted, and Marceau could clearly see that Mororo's eyes widened, apparently frightened by the distorted face.
In the end, Aeryk nodded silently: "I am Aleuk." ”
"That's right. My mother once told me that she had a very good friend named Eleuk, a pointy-eared Garol in appearance...... It's her best friend, the kind of friend who can walk through life with a smile. ”
Hearing the little guy say this, Marso touched the tip of his nose and glanced at Aeryk. The originally distorted face had been replaced by a softening, and he patted Mororo's little head: "Is that really what your mother said?" ”
Well, she said that if the family had not changed, her life should have been like this, but the elders and siblings in the family had died, and her mother said that she had more important things to do, and she could no longer hold on to that unrealistic dream, and then he chose Mororo's current father. Mororo tilted his head as he spoke: "Mother and father thought Mororo was young, but Mororo was no ordinary child. Uncle Eliuk, what kind of person my mother is in your eyes? ”
“…… She will always be the stupid incorrigible cat girl in my eyes. Aeryk rubbed the corner of his intact left eye with his hand, then turned around with a smile: "Mororo, I'm leaving...... Go to your mother and tell her that I owe her and will pay her back one day. ”
Wait until Eleuk is done. Mororo sighed: "Mother's vision was really bad before, but although she was very angry. Uncle Eleuk's comment is unexpected, and it is impossible to refute it. ”
"Hey, why do you say that? Anne reached out and scratched Mororo's nose: "If you were his child, there would be countless fun toys and delicious food that you couldn't eat, why not." ”
"Because he's not my father, I'm my father, the big guy who wants to make food for Mororo every day. Mororo replied with a pout.
on this. Marceau smiled bitterly and sighed at the two girls: "So, girls, it's just a moment of joy for a boy to be a father, the child is not his own, no matter how good he is, it's useless." When I grow up, I don't want to go to my biological father. ”
Then Anne twisted the left waist of the kitten, pinched the right waist of the kitten for a long time, and a perfect waist hell positive and negative spiral, and Marceau rolled on the ground - come on, Anne's strength is so inhuman, it is good that the kitten can have the strength to roll on the ground without going into shock on the spot because of unconsciousness.
…………
Sending Morolo back to the hotel rented by his small guild, and after explaining the matter, Marceau decided to go and meet the old woman in the nail salon again, this matter is not over today, as a substitute, the cat cub will go on a killing spree, so that the southern united comic assassins are angry with a cat cub.
Hearing that Chang Jiu was going to follow Marceau as an apprentice, Anne said that she also wanted to see a lively, originally thought that this girl could not do the work of assassination, but when she saw this girl stretch out her hand and make a twisting motion, Marceau was instigated.
Arriving at a position a short distance from the nail salon, Marceau first turned on the disguise function of his legendary leather armor - this can make his leather armor look like ordinary leather armor, a function that the player can pay to use, Marceau feels that he can't wear this brightly colored leather armor to cover the patrols who are close to the unity of the South - he can't think that his opponents are blind.
"You watch me perform. ”
After speaking, the cat cub walked out of the alley, pulled up his hood, and walked to the nail salon in the crowd of aborigines and players, the big man closest to him looked around, not noticing the approach of death at all, but Marceau did not make a move, but passed by him, and came to the dwarf who was holding a portrait of a person not far behind him, and the spiked blade pierced from under his ribs, hitting one left and one right in the heart, and then continued to walk.
The dwarf trembled and fell to the ground, except for a few passers-by who found out about his accident, but after discovering that this guy was a foreigner, the aborigines bypassed him, which made the halfling behind the dwarf find a problem, he originally squatted on the balcony on the second floor and stood up to see what was going on, but before he could stand up, a sleeve arrow drilled into his left eye, and the lifeless halfling fell into the balcony.
The sound of the heavy object aroused the confusion of the humans below the balcony, and the intelligence officer who was sitting on the wooden box, who was doing the act of selling the wooden box and goods, looked up, and did not notice a cat cub rushing out of the crowd, and slapped his right hand on his neck, and at the same time the spiked blade pierced the throat and cervical vertebrae, and the left hand raised the reloaded Hidden Arrow, and drilled into the back of the human head thirty yards away from him, and the latter fell, causing a commotion.
Turning around, he re-entered the crowd in silence, and when the last halfling ran past him, his left hand was stuck in his neck, his right palm was pressed against the back of his head, and the next second the stabbing blade burrowed into the victim's brain.
Letting go of his hand, Marceau walked out of the crowd and silently walked into the nail salon, until this time, the halfling who was kneeling on the ground collapsed.
"Ah, Your Highness Payne's kitten, what a skill, if I don't look at your camp, I think you're more like an assassin. ”
"No, elder, I'm still fit to be a substitute and tell me all the tasks of the unity of the South, and it's time for them to pay the price. Marceau sat down in front of the elders and replied with a smile. (To be continued......)
