14. Severed prosthesis
Glass walked up to Inga, who picked up Inga's knife and cut off the prosthetic limb. Puzzled, Ginga snatched his knife back. Kana picked up the prosthetic leg and opened the metal casing inside, which contained the intricate Yafah catheter and some crystals. At this point, Glass slapped off the prosthetic leg in Kana's hand and kicked the prosthetic leg away.
"What are you doing here? Kana asked, puzzled.
Glass didn't answer Kana's question, after which he took a dagger from his cloak pocket, then bit the knife with his mouth, cut his right wrist, spilled blood on the prosthetic, and then bit the cloak with his mouth, tearing the cloak a little bit to use gauze to bandage the cut.
"Create a fake death scene. Glass answered Kana's question.
"Why do you want to do it. Kana said.
"I don't know. Glass replied, in fact, Glass did not know why he did this, he looked at the prosthetic leg not far away, and his brain filled with the picture of his death.
At this time, Kana took out a weak healing potion from her mage's robe and applied it to the area where Glass had been cut.
"This only keeps the blood flowing for a while. ”
Glass looked at Kana puzzled and said to them.
"Why, I was planning to kill you just now. ”
Kana didn't answer him, she applied it and closed the lid on the potion bottle.
"Hey, answer my question!" Glass looked anxious and stared at Kana.
"That's the choice of Inga. Kana smiled, then turned to look at Inga who was watching the scenery of the cave walls, and Glass also looked at Inga, and there were thoughts in his heart that he could not describe in words. At this time, Ginga was reaching out to touch the glowing gems.
"You don't have any money, do you, why don't you go to my house for the night?" Glas said to Kana.
Kana turned her head and looked at Glass with starry eyes, but shook her head again.
"Hmm...... We have money on us, it's okay, it's okay. By this time, Kana had an embarrassed smile on her face.
"yes, then I'll go back first, it's not good if someone comes later. With that, Glass straightened his cloak and ran out of the mine.
Kana put on her hood.
"Let's go to Inga and find accommodation. ”
Inga heard Kana calling him, and he secretly put a fist-sized gem in his backpack.
"Come, wait for me. ”
There are still many pedestrians on the streets of Sikapo, and they have been talking about the earthquake and the light from the Sikapo cave, and the tattered clothes that Inga is wearing are very conspicuous, after all, there are very few beggars here. At this time, a woman came out, handed silver and a bag of money, and turned back to say a word.
"Oh my God, poor child, may God bless you. After saying that, he disappeared into the crowd. Yinjia looked confused.
"What's going on?" Inga asked, then opening it to look at the money, which surprised him.
Kana saw Ginga's exaggerated expression, and then glanced at the money bag in Ginga's hand slightly.
"What's the matter, how much did the woman give? Kana pushed her arm with a push.
Ginga reached in and pulled out a glittering gold coin.
"Ka, ka, Kana, this, what is this. He began to slurr as he spoke, and his tongue seemed to have robbed.
Kana took a closer look, and she was surprised to see the gleaming gold coin.
"This, this is the Cruise Gold Coins, Silver Plus, Cruise Gold Coins!" Kana grabbed Silver Plus by the shoulders with both hands, grabbed the gold coin between her two fingers, and shook Silver Plus frantically.
"Do you know how long a gold Cruise coin lasts!? ”
Inga shook his head.
"You can play in any country in the world for a few days. Kana said, continuing to shake the silver plus.
"Wait a minute, there's three more in there. "Ginga's eyes have been shaken into a double vortex by Kana.
Kana felt the focus of her gaze and lifted her hands off Inga's shoulders as she carefully examined the Cruise Gold Coins.
Inga: "Wow, who's the person on it?" ”
Kana: "The person printed on it is the rich man of the year, Cruise, but there is a style that is very worthy of collection, very, very rare......"
Yinjia nodded, calling out as an expert. They asked passers-by, and then they found a comfortable hotel in Sikabo, and after a few days, Kana finally took a comfortable bath.
"Sure enough, taking a bath is the most relaxing time for women. "Kana slept in the bathtub with her whole body wrapped in bubble water, blowing bubbles with soap. Ginga lay on the bed and took a quill pen and wrote some words on the leaves.
"Well...... how do you write the word 'mine'. He put the tail of his quill to his nose and thought about it repeatedly. Glass stood outside, watching Inga lie on the bed, his cloak covering his left arm, and then left with a smile on his face.
The earthquake that had just occurred in Sikapo, and it was widely believed that it was caused by the light in the Sikapo Mountains, a public opinion spread quickly from Sikapo, and Glass, who tried not to expose his left arm as he walked, also heard a lot about the slight earthquake, and the light.
"I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Glass walked down the street with his head down and his hat on, thinking to himself that he should have thought that it would be bad to get rid of them directly, that he had to make some explosions, and he began to regret the wrong decision he had made.
"But, Silverplus-Hagern, this kid is interesting. I'm tired of this city, not because of the bad climate, but because of the city, and I don't miss it, after all, I wasn't born here......"
At this moment, Glass stopped, raised his head, and there were no shining stars in the sky, and what was reflected in front of him was infinite darkness.
"I, what the hell is my reason for being here. His hand was rubbing the corner of his cloak. The passers-by around him were talking and laughing, chatting about today's joy and the joy of life, while Glass was still looking at the empty night sky alone, recalling his previous memories.
At this time, a few drops of rain fell from the sky, which happened to drop on Glass's face, and gradually, the rain fell heavily, he straightened his hat, and the people on the street ran back, only Glass walked step by step, and then returned to his "place where he should be".
It was the old man who opened the door, but he didn't have the pointed ears like Glass, his face was dark, his face was disheveled, his hands were covered with excess sebum, his face was wrinkled, and he wore a pair of reading glasses.
Glass's gaze deliberately avoided him and turned to his grandfather
"I'm back, Grandpa Jon. ”
The grandfather pulled Glass into the room, gave him a towel, and told him to sit in the chair, and then he went into the kitchen, and brought out some cookies and a glass of warm milk and put them on his table.
"Quick, eat it hot. Grandpa Jon had a harmonious smile on his face, and then he took the milk cup in his hand to feel the temperature of the milk.
"Would you like to warm up the milk?" Jon was about to get up, but Glass held him down, and then Glass gently helped Jon to sit in his chair.
"No, grandpa, it's a good temperature, thank you. Then, Glass finished the cookies, and his right hand patted Jon on the shoulder, and then Jon felt that something was wrong, usually Glass is two-handed, how to use one hand this time, and then he lifted the cloak and found that Glass's prosthetic leg had been removed. Jon touched Glass's shoulder and said to him.
"Let's go, come to my room. ”
Glass slept in Jon's bed, who had re-fitted him with prosthetics and was now assembling the parts one by one. Glass tilted his head, and through the light of the candle, he could see the sweat on Jon's face as he concentrated on assembling the parts before Jon spoke.
"I know, your arm was cut off by two adventurers. Don't lie, I know this. ”
Glass looked at the ceiling and scratched his head with his right hand, he didn't know what to say.
"If you want to go for the 'Adventure Marathon', you can choose them. ”
Glass's eyes widened at this point, he had just wanted to get up, but getting up would have sent the parts flying out and hitting Jon, he took a deep breath, and there was an endless word in his heart, but he didn't say a word. By this time, Jon had already seen the small expression on Glass's face. But he continued to assemble Glass's prosthetic leg.
"Actually...... I cut off my own arm, I ......" At this time, Glass didn't know whether to say this sentence or not, this fake death sentence, Jon's wife killed herself on the spot a few years ago because of the fake news that could not be eliminated.
At this time, Jon touched Glass's head, and his face still had that kindness.
"Don't look at grandpa has been with you for a few years, I still know what is going on in your heart, about seven years ago, when I found you, I almost died because of blood loss, and it was God who favored you. Jon wiped his sweat from his sleeve and continued assembling the prosthetic.
"At that time, I don't know what happened to your arm, it was torn off by something, and a lot of blood was shed, but my wife brought you back, seven years have passed, and it has grown, this place is too small to keep you. ”
Glass smiled, he knew that without them, he would have died in the suburbs.
When Glass first came to Sikapo, he came into contact with many cultures, all kinds of people, at that time, Jon's wife was still there, their children were also far away, there was no news for more than ten years, Jon's family adopted Glass, undoubtedly to find that kind of family affection, unique love.
Two years later, Mrs. Jon died, Jon also quit the miner, he gave the miner profession to Glass, used his young hobby, made a normal prosthetic leg for Glass, and in order to prevent him from being discovered by some slave owners, he specially bought a cloak to cover the pointed ears.
Now, Jon's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he thinks back to his youth, and he blames it inwardly.
"Why is my life so mediocre......"
The flame on the candle beside him was extinguished, and Jon found the flint and steel to relight the candle.
After about two hours, the new prosthesis was ready, and Glass sat up from the bed, then got up and got out of bed. Jon touched his head.
"Go to bed, remember to call them tomorrow. ”
Glass turned around and asked suspiciously:
"Who's it, those adventurers?"
Jon nodded, and then Glass went back to his room to sleep, and when he heard the door of Glass's room closed, he took out a notebook from the bedside table, and he opened it to see that it was full of Glass's handwriting, and the content was written about those unprofessional historical deeds.
He looked at it, and when he turned the next page, a leaf had fallen, and the pattern on the leaf was him, his wife, and Glass seven years ago.
At this time, tears suddenly appeared in the corners of his eyes......
Following.
At the hotel where they lived, Kana woke up, walked to the bathroom and did a simple wash, then walked to the windowsill, opened the window, took a big breath of the fresh morning air, and sighed with her hands crossed on the windowsill.
"It's a big city. ”
The motorboat streaked across the sky, temporarily obscuring the sun.
Suddenly, she saw Glass standing on the roof opposite the hotel, Glass was looking at Kana, and then waving at Kana, and she saw that Glass's left arm was re-fitted with a prosthetic leg, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
At this time, Yingjia was also woken up by the sun, he sat on the bed with sleepy eyes, then scratched his head, got out of bed and took the goggles at the head of the bed by the way, walked to the sink and began to wash.
Yinjia walked to the sink and stared at the mirror in a daze for a while, then he wiped his face with a wet towel, and instantly came to his senses, put on his goggles, and then made various gestures in front of the mirror.
At this point, Kana interrupted Ginka.
"Someone is waiting for us, hurry. ”
Inga nodded, and then packed his bags.
When they walked to the door of the hotel and saw Glass waiting for them, Silverplus ran over to hug him excitedly as soon as he saw Glass.
"How's it going, goblin. ”
When Glass heard the word "goblin", he felt sick and pushed Silverplus away.
"Cut, just overnight, don't be so self-cooked, dwarf. Glass straightened his cloak, looked at Kana, and said to her.
"I want to take you to a ......"
At this time, Inga was behind Glass's back, scratching his back frantically.
"Go somewhere ......"
"Somewhere. Kana asked rhetorically.
"Follow me and I'll tell you later. ”
Glass turned around and pinched Inga's face by the way.
"Dwarfs. After Glass had finished speaking, he showed them the way, turning a few corners and crossing a few trails, along which Inga and Glass argued.
"Goblin Goblin!"
"A dwarf is a dwarf. ”
They quarreled all the way, like two innocent children, and they always felt that they were right.
At this point, Glass stopped.
"Goblins, goblins, pointy-eared goblins!" Inga was still talking, and he felt like he was about to sing, when he saw Glass standing there and stopped, closing his mouth.
It's just an ordinary dwelling, although it's not far from the city.
"It's ...... here," Glass mumbled, and Kana frowned slightly.
"Where is this. Kana asked.
Glass inhaled through his nose and sighed through his mouth.
"This is my house, and someone in my family wants to see you. ”
