Chapters 60, 61
Chapter 60 Life
When Shi Leiyin was busy comforting the three daughters who vomited and cried because of such a bloody murder scene. The leader, who was a priest by profession, was also desperately rushing in one direction, his heart was full of fear and unwillingness, afraid of the witch who killed people without blinking, but he was unwilling to bring only four people out for himself. Fortunately, there are still more than twenty people left in the mercenary group hired by themselves in the gathering place, although the other people's level is not as good as the two knight-level deputy captains just now, but there is also a second-order mage leader with similar strength to himself. Although it costs a little more money, it is better than not being punished by the boss for not completing this task. Just when the leader of the priest was still struggling with his heart aching how much it would cost to ask the mercenary leader to make a move and cover his mouth afterwards, his eyes lit up, but he had already arrived at the agreed meeting place, and he was about to say what he thought with a false smile on his face, but the smile was directly frozen on his face.
"Is this your hole card?" Why the woman in red appeared faster than him was no longer a matter for the priest to consider. What he couldn't understand was why this mercenary group with a C-level license would be killed in such a short period of time. What's even more incomprehensible is why the woman in red knew that this mercenary group had something to do with her, and in fact, she hadn't told the mercenary leader to deal with those children.
"You...... They ......" the priest couldn't even speak, and pointed to the woman in red, and then to her, where lay the mercenary leader, whose right hand with the staff did not know where it was, and the cut in his throat almost cut his entire neck.
"I see that they are the same badges as those four" The woman in red spoke, tearing off the corner of her skirt and wrapping her wrist, it seems that she has just eliminated this mercenary group "I didn't bother to confirm whether they have anything to do with you, so I eliminated them directly, but it seems that I did nothing wrong" As she spoke, the blood-made weapon in the woman in red reappeared, which was a pair of assassin fist blades.
"Demon, witch, you kill innocents indiscriminately, the Holy See will not let you go" The priest found that the woman in red's hands and feet were trembling slightly, and when she looked around carefully, she also found that there were a lot of blood stains on the weapons scattered by those mercenaries, which obviously also caused the woman in red to suffer some injuries. Remembering that the woman in red never said much about murder before, the priest came to the conclusion that the other party was actually scaring himself, but he was just too fast to escape. Thinking about the fact that he still had that thing in him, he suddenly realized that he had a chance to win. Thinking that he might kill a witch, this priest became a little fanatical, what a great achievement it is to kill a witch alone. Thinking of this, the pastor put his hand into his arms. In his arms was a bottle made of alchemy. After throwing, it can produce the power of a third-order magic fire meteor, and it covers a large area, as long as you are using the Light Hunt to make the woman's invisibility ineffective, you can use this bottle to kill her.
But the priest's wishful thinking could no longer work, and just as he took out the bottle and prepared to use the Light Hunt, he found himself seeing his fallen body. The woman in red leapt over the moment he thought about what to do, and cut off his head. The "idiot" woman in red left a comment, searched for a letter from the priest's body, looked at the alchemy reagent, thought about it, and put it in her arms together, and then walked slowly towards the mountain.
Erica and Jessica sat on the stone resting with pale faces, it was not the first time they had seen the bloody scene, the goblins that Erica had crusaded before were also bleeding red blood, but seeing the same humans being killed in front of them like this, it still had a strong impact on the two girls, and even Jessica, who had always been calm, vomited, but Wendy and Wren behaved more calmly.
"Who the hell is that woman? she looks about our age," Erika asked in a whisper.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be an enemy," Shi Leiyin handed each of the two girls a glass of water, which he had just picked up from a nearby mountain spring. "I don't think it will be long before we see her, and then we should know why she came to help us."
"I've just taken on the task of protecting you," the woman in red didn't know when she was already standing behind Erica and the others. "My mission is to take care of the lives of Wendy Shuka, Wren Shuka, Erica François, and Jessica Elsard for thirty days, effective from the time I met you just now. As for my ......" The momentum on the woman in red suddenly changed, as if fading, the original bright red hair and pupils turned black, as he took out an identical black robe to cover the red clothes. A completely different image appeared in front of everyone: "You can call me dead"
Chapter 61: The Joining of the Team
"Fate... Miss?" Erica said with a question in her tone, such a name is not the style of the Midgar Kingdom, maybe this is just the other party's code name?
"Just call me my life, is there anything you want to ask?" I will answer for you within the scope of the contract" Life walked across from Erica and the others, and sat down against the tree.
"Can you tell us who wants you to protect us?" Jessica asked first.
"Pastor"
"Priest?
"This is a contractual prohibition. ”
"Is that the priest asking you to come here to protect us?" asked Shi Leiyin suddenly.
"This is also forbidden by the contract" Life glanced at Shi Leiyin, his expression was a little strange, and turned to Erica "The object of contract protection is four people, not including this slime, can you tell me about its relationship with you?" "Life revealed a hint of killing intent, as if Erica told her that Shi Leiyin was a threat, she would immediately eliminate the threat.
"Lei Yin is my pet" Erica also felt the hint of killing intent and hurriedly declared.
"I don't feel a contract between you" Fate shook his head, closed his eyes for a moment, and repeated "Still no"
"Their contract has just been terminated and has not been re-established, Xiao Shi is already at the fourth order, and the original contract is not suitable," Jessica explained beside her.
"I see" Ming nodded, and looked at Shi Leiyin again, but the doubt in his eyes was even heavier. Shi Leiyin gave her the feeling that she was not a simple slime, and she didn't think that it was simply because Shi Leiyin was a so-called fourth-order slime. In the face of assassins before, Shi Leiyin's performance was very close to people. And in her hometown, there is a creature that fits the feeling that Shi Leiyin brings her, and that is the demon. The demon who is the same or even more cunning than humans is good at confusing people's hearts, and she is a little skeptical that the slime in front of her has confused the object of her protection, but Shi Leiyin was protecting the four people before, so she was a little hesitant, otherwise according to her character, I am afraid that she would rather kill the wrong person than let it go. stared at Shi Leiyin again, and said, "But because of the contract, I can only guarantee the personal safety of the four of you, as for it, I will only help when the situation allows, if he affects the safety of the four of you, then don't blame me for taking action."
"You're more dangerous than me, aren't you?" Shi Leiyin was a little dissatisfied, and actually threatened me?" "Judging from the killing methods just now, you are at least a second-order assassin." Why should we believe that you are here to protect us?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you" was beyond Shi Leiyin's expectations, and he didn't have the slightest additional reaction to his words, just replied so lightly.
"Okay," Erica ran out to play the round, "Miss Life, you don't need to worry about Lei Yin, he's been with us for a long time." Lei Yin, you too, anyway, Miss Ming just protected us......" Thinking of the previous scene, Erica's face didn't look good again.
"And then!" ordered to throw one to Erica, paused and tossed another one to Jessica, "This is a pill that can effectively stop nausea and vomiting. Something certified by the Alberta Merchant Association. She obviously said the latter sentence to Shi Leiyin.
"Thank you" Erica ate it without hesitation, and sure enough, a coolness rose from her abdomen, and sure enough, the feeling of vomiting was greatly reduced. "It's a good thing, I'm much better"
"Give me one too," Shi Leiyin said to his fate.
"Do you feel disgusting too?" life's brow furrowed, but he threw one over.
"Thank you" for the medicine, Shi Leiyin analyzed the ingredients and found that they were indeed just some herbal ingredients with cooling and pain-relieving ingredients.
"Reassured?" asked suddenly.
"Well, well, you actually found out?" Shi Leiyin didn't hide his purpose.
"You didn't have an adverse reaction on the spot just now, how can you only need medicine now, the only possibility is that you are not at ease with my medicine, as a slime, you can really act like a human"
"Winning Prizes"
"Stop!" Seeing that there were signs of arguing on both sides again, Erica hurriedly interjected, "This topic is over, no matter what, welcome Miss Ming to the team first!"
"Erica is right, Xiao Shi, this is not a place for quarrels, it's getting dark, let's go to the top of the mountain first, there should be a suitable place to camp by the lake" Jessica also took the medicine, and immediately felt a lot more comfortable.
"You're right, I'm too anxious" Shi Leiyin also realized that his reaction was a little strange, that is, he didn't look at this woman who called her life, and it seemed that he would subconsciously quarrel with her.
On the other side, Life was also secretly surprised, obviously this team was not led by Jessica as the owner said, and this slime called Lei Yin seemed to be the core of the team. Erica and Jessica's reaction doesn't seem to be bewitched, which makes her interested in the slime grow stronger.
