Chapter 318: Saving Your Life
"Gold Coin ——?!" Bruno was stunned, looking at Soth's greedy smile on his face, he was a little overwhelmed, but soon understood that since the other party was just asking for money, it would be much easier to say, he didn't want to experience the feeling that his head was about to be scratched again.
Ignoring the grief that he had been robbed at the hotel, Bruno nodded hurriedly
"Good...... Good...... Master Soth......" He nodded, flipping through the lining of his clothes, and pulling hard, as if he was a man who valued money, and hid it so secretly.
At this moment, there was not even a single bird cry in the alley, and Bruno's accomplices did not dare to approach it, so they could only wander far away, but they found that the sound of the beating did not appear, and two dim black shadows squirmed in the alleyway with a very small sound, and no one could hear what was happening.
They looked at each other but no one dared to step forward, and finally decided to stay where they were and wait.
Sos held on to the wall with one hand, and the other hand drooped naturally, Bruno sat half-leaning on the edge of the wall, the whole movement was a bit like a posture called "wall dong" on the earth of Soth's memory, and then remembering that this posture would most likely appear on what occasion, Sos felt a hot face, and had an urge to withdraw his hand.
But after watching Bruno nervously and seriously rummaging through all the "property" in his pocket, Sos still calmly put aside these distractions, there is no such pop culture in this world, obviously Bruno is not sensitive to this posture, he doesn't need to think about these miscellaneous things, now getting the money is the most important thing, and even whether to teach this group of people a lesson later, has been temporarily put on hold by Soth.
"Your Excellen......cy," said Bruno, who had finally stopped rummaging, tremblingly stretched out his hand to the chest of Josos, and said to Sos earnestly in a most respectful tone:
"It's all the money I have—I swear to the Goddess of Oath—and I'm not lying to you—"
Soth took the coins from his hand, and the beautiful metals clashed together with a "clanging" sound, and the silence of the alleyway was so harsh that Soth could even hear the noise of other people not far away.
They were guessing what Soth didn't know, but he looked at the coins in his hand and felt very unhappy, and Soth counted them repeatedly:
"Gold coins - 5 pieces, silver - 6... 7… 8,8 - the rest - uh - "
In addition to the 5 gold coins and 8 silver coins, the rest of the coins were of a variety of colors and appearances, and at first glance there were dozens of unknown coins that were not from the same country, but Soth was very skeptical that these coins could be used here.
After weighing it for a moment, Soth first carefully put the money in his pocket, then suddenly bent down, threw his arms away, and grabbed Bruno's shoulders with both hands like two vices, like a small child, lifted him up, and then pressed him hard against the wall.
"Are you kidding me——?" Soth made a vicious gesture and leaned closer, staring at Bruno hard.
"No—absolutely not!" Bruno was almost crying, and he waved his hands as hard as he could, trying to explain:
"That's all my 'possessions', my lord!" I swear——!" He looked pitiful, as if he had suddenly changed his identity from the little rabbit man who had been bullied by them before, and now Bruno was the delicate rabbit lady.
Looking at a big man with tears in his eyes, as if he might cry at any time because of being bullied, Sos couldn't help but laugh a little, he finally tried his best to hold back and not laugh, otherwise his deterrent power would be greatly reduced.
Regaining his face, Sos gritted his teeth as if he was going to devour Bruno alive in front of him, pulled out a finger and pointed it on the other party's head, he pressed slightly, Bruno felt as if he was drilling his heart, as if someone was using a chisel to chisel his skull.
But he didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of arousing Soth's disgust, so he had to endure the stinging sensation and hum in a muffled voice.
What could Bruno want to do, what happened today was one of the greatest shames he had ever experienced in his life, but this was not a paradise, nor was it the place of descent that the cultists of Seraphim preached, a world without killing and strife.
Bruno is a mercenary who has seen so much death that he thinks no one knows the rules of the world better than anyone like them.
In Bruno's view, although the world is dressed in some beautiful skins, it is extremely cruel in nature, there is no difference between people killing people and people killing animals, and he has seen too many people kill their own kind by cruel means.
Of course, as for the slaughter of human beings by other races, Bruno recognizes the fact that in this world, it is possible for anyone to end another living life without hesitation.
Bruno didn't want to die, he saved a lot of money, as a mercenary, although he was rude and arrogant on the surface, but in fact he was delicate, especially in personal desires.
While the other mercenaries spent all their earned money on women and alcohol, Bruno secretly saved all the money, and he never spent money when he went out to live happily with other mercenaries, usually relying on his own force to force others to pay for him.
He is tired and frightened of the terrible and cruel real world, and as a mercenary, he has to be careful all the time once he takes on a mission, because his opponent is the Grim Reaper, a god he fears the most.
It was precisely because Bruno was so afraid of death that as soon as he found that his strength was too far behind Soss, he would immediately admit it, and even stammered in the hope of currying favor with Soss.
He doesn't want to die, it's not worth it to die, he has already saved his money, and when he finishes this mission, he can leave this business, and no matter where there is a war in the future, or what other organization hires them, it has nothing to do with him.
He was going to find a country in the middle of nowhere, buy a plot of land there, hire a few young and beautiful girls as maids, and maybe turn them all into his own inner chamber at the end, and then have a bunch of children, and spend his life carefree in this unknown country.
Seeing that the dream is about to come true, how can Bruno let it disappear, so he must not die, he must not die in the hands of Soth, for this reason, he can meet any request of Soth, even if it is the money on his body, he is still a little glad that he did not bring too much money on him, this is also the rule of mercenaries, otherwise it will only cheapen your enemy for nothing.
But seeing Soth's dissatisfaction and anger, Bruno panicked, he had seen too many big men who looked stupid and stupid like idiots on the surface, killing people without blinking their eyes, he was too afraid that in the next second, Sos would raise that terrible fist and smash his head to pieces.
