Chapter 8: Ellie's Past

Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Ellie couldn't help but wonder when she heard this: "Anyway, how do you know so many strange things?"

"I heard it when I was a mercenary before, and you know that anyone in our business will come into contact with it, and it is inevitable that you will know something that ordinary people don't know over time."

"So according to you, those Templars must have made a big move here?"

"Judging by the last warning given to us by that elf beauty, it should be true."

Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help but fall into deep thought, of course I thought she was scared, and hurriedly pushed the boat down: "Now you understand the seriousness of the matter, right?" We'd better get out of Karadzan at once, or we'll burn ourselves."

"No, at least not yet." When the little girl heard what I said, she was immediately anxious, and her attitude seemed very resolute.

"Why?" I couldn't help but be surprised.

"The last sale was only halfway through, and I can't leave until something is sold."

"Please, didn't you understand what I just said!? If we continue to stay in the city, we will be in danger of our lives at any time, why are you still thinking about that damn deal!? Besides, the buyer hasn't been heard from since that night at the bar, maybe he's already scared away, who else are you trading with!?"

"No, this deal is very important to me, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I can't give up, not to mention that last time the one was not a buyer, just a middleman, even without him, the transaction can still continue."

"Wait, I don't understand, what exactly do you get with this deal? Is it worth the risk?"

"If you say something, you won't understand."

"Hey, hey, I can be regarded as the predecessor of your life from any point of view, how do you know that I don't understand? For money? Or is it a man?" Seeing that Ellie was so obsessed, I couldn't help but say a little angrily.

Finally, Ellie seemed to be forced by me, and couldn't help but shout, "To build a home!"

I was stunned when I stood still, because neither her attitude nor her answer was far beyond my expectations.

Ellie looked at me, seemed to feel a little out of shape, and finally told me the reason after a moment of silence: "I said before that I was an orphan, since I can remember, I don't know who my parents are, where my home is, the whole person is lonely, wandering alone in this world, being beaten and starved is commonplace, and I have to always beware of those human traffickers and **, do you know how I came over those years?" There was a time when I really felt that life was boring, and I even wanted to die, but I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, I met a kind nun, she saw that I was pitiful and took me back to the church where I belonged, where there were a group of children like me, all of whom had lost their parents for various reasons, and the nun adopted us, taught us to read, taught us life skills, and even taught us how to be a real person... For us children, it was the first time in our lives that we felt warm and felt that we were no longer lonely, so even though life was hard, we still regarded it as our home. However, since the "awakening of the demon king", people's hearts have become very bad, the operation of the church has become more and more difficult, many people have left one after another, and in the end, even the nun who raised us single-handedly fell ill due to old age and infirmity, and the Kingdom Church actually decided to cancel the church after hearing about it, so that all the adopted children will face homelessness again, the nuns have repeatedly negotiated with the church for this, and finally the above finally decided not to cancel the church, but the condition is that we must be self-financed, In other words, we don't want to get a penny from them from now on, but how can we imagine how it is possible for an elderly and sick nun with a large group of children to keep the church afloat? The above intention is obviously to force the nun to retreat from the difficulties, but for the sake of the children, the nun finally agreed, so she dragged her sick body and tried her best to raise funds for the church, but the result was still difficult, and even in this case, she still continued to bring back those homeless children, it is conceivable that the church's already difficult operation has become even worse, but there is no way she is such a person... I was the older of those children, and I felt that I had a responsibility to do something for this "family", but a little girl like me couldn't make a lot of money if she did a serious job, so I left the church alone without telling everyone and started to be a black market merchant. In today's world, it sounds ridiculous to insist on this, doesn't it? But I can't help it, I've been around that "bad guy" for too long, and I've been somewhat ill-influenced. In short, my only goal now is to make money so that the church can continue to be maintained, so that those lonely children like me can have a warm home that can shelter from the wind and rain."

Speaking of this, Ellie's eyes moistened, although she was a good person who pretended to cry, but this time I could clearly feel that she was really venting her inner feelings, and at that moment I fell into deep self-blame, this feeling was the first time since the death of the master.

After being silent for a while, Ellie wiped her tears, turned her head to me and said: "In short, I have to do this business, and I won't force you, if you don't want to participate anymore, then you can leave now, I will never stop you, if you need money, I still have a hundred or ten gold coins here for you to take them all, even if it is a little thank you from me." As she spoke, she reached out to get the gold coins on the bedside table, and I was in a hurry to stop them, when we were at a stalemate, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Ellie, are you there?"

The two of us were shocked, who would come to us at this time? Could it be... Thinking of this, the two of us immediately became alert.

"Who?" Ellie asked tentatively.

"I'm Joey, there's a guest downstairs looking for you, and the boss asked me to let me know."

"It's the waiter here." Ellie whispered to me, the tension easing a little.

"What kind of guest is it?"

"He won't name you, he's just here to talk to you about a deal, a mirror deal."

"Sunglasses!" The two of us couldn't help but glance at each other, could it really be that the buyer took the initiative to find it? This one is really well-informed.

However, Ellie was still wary at this time, and asked, "What does that person look like?" Did you say anything else?"

"No, he said that he can only talk to you face to face, I asked him with the boss for a long time, and he refused to say anything else. As for the looks... Because he was wearing a robe, and his whole body was covered tightly, so we can't tell what he looked like. If you don't worry, my boss and I will find a way to send him away?"

Ellie pondered for a moment, then looked up at me and whispered, "What should I do?"

At that time, I was also a little hesitant, this mysterious person who came, I don't know what the way is? Could it be that the Templars have repented and are trying to kill us? Or did the remnants of Lupin III want to avenge their boss? Even if the person who came was really the one from before, why was he so obsessed with "sunglasses" after that kind of thing? Is there any conspiracy behind this? But we can't always be so stiff, thinking of Ellie's dream, I finally decided to take another risk...
