Chapter 314: Frank's Original Intention
"I'm a little sad," Peake muttered to himself, walking down the streets of the town of Peace.
"What's upset?" Zhu Tian guessed, "Is it because of your father's business?" or because I just heard about Gulez's background?"
"I was a little sad the moment she asked you for money," Peake said. β
Zhu Tian sneered: "It turns out that you are distressing about that gold coin, you miser." β
"Aren't you sad to see that this world is so difficult?" Peak ignored Zhu Tian's ridicule and said depressedly: "I think it's my fault." β
"You think so...... I didn't think about it that way, maybe I knew life was going to be hard from the beginning. As for why do you want to blame yourself? Isn't that painful? Peake, you're not the Virgin, you can't save everybody. β
"We can make a difference!"
"They're sinking, why are we changing? I gave her enough gold to buy medicine and food, and the rest will have to be earned by her own hands! Oh, she may have come faster by spreading her legs to make money, after all, this is the little nightingale's skill. β
"We can change a lot of people! Zhu Tian, we start from our side and slowly change everyone around us. As long as we are willing to help, anyone can become a good person, and anyone can be freed from suffering. β
"What about your pain, Peake?" the corners of Zhu Tian's mouth showed a hint of mockery, "Are you freed from your own pain? You yourself are suffering, why should you think about relieving other people's pain? How can you be sure that what you are doing must be right, people want to suffer, they want to sink, just like a donkey thief, he has been dealing with donkeys all his life, you think that stealing donkeys is painful, but he enjoys the fun of stealing donkeys." As he spoke, Zhu Tian took out the note stolen by the donkey thief from the mayor's castle again from his sleeve and read it carefully.
Peake was silent for a long time, sighed, and waited for the passers-by to pass away before he said to himself, "Are you planning something, Zhu Tian?"
"Of course, by your brain, we'd have hung up a long time ago. What else would you do besides picking up girls?"
Peake was speechless, took out a gold coin, and chewed it tastelessly in his mouth.
"We must go back today and get all the remaining noble canes out. Zhu Tian licked his lips and said, "Tomorrow I will collect the remaining 900,000 gold coins from the owner of the auction house." β
"I think 100,000 gold coins are enough for us to eat for a lifetime, in fact, we can eat two or three gold coins a day. β
"Huh...... What if you get injured again? What if there is still a psychotic like the cardinal who comes to find trouble?" Zhu Tianxu said matter-of-factly, "Are you waiting to die? Hmm? You must improve your strength! Otherwise, you will be eliminated by this society! And eating gold coins is the easiest way we have found to improve your strength! Others have worked hard to practice martial arts, fight boxing every day, and hone their physique, what about you? Just eat gold coins! If you don't think about this kind of good thing, you don't think about it carefully, and you think about eating a few gold coins every day to get by?"
Peake suddenly sensed something was wrong. "What do you mean?" he said, "aren't you afraid that you will become monsters? What if we eat too much gold and we become monsters like the gold monsters? β
Zhu Tian shook his head and said, "You have to pay attention to the method in everything you do, don't underestimate the potential of human beings." When we fought against the cardinal, we ate dozens of gold coins in one go. Almost instantly, our physical injuries healed, and not only that, but we also gained tremendous strength! The strength of our whole body has changed qualitatively, don't you feel it? These are dozens of gold coins, and if we eat a thousand gold coins in one go? How strong will we be at that time? Aren't you curious? Of course, this is a gradual process. When we notice side effects, we can stop. β
"Poppy milk. Peake abruptly mentioned a word. "It's like poppy milk, when you want to stop, can you really stop?"
"I know you're worried that I'm going to be addicted, Peake, are you underestimating me too much?" Zhu Tian sneered and said: "You should know the undead qi, just inhaling a little undead qi will make you want to stop, that powerful feeling, that kind of consciousness that despises all things, how intoxicating it is! However, I can control my desires! There are countless undead qi in the tower of the dead for me to take and take, but I only take a trace of it, because I can sense my bottom line! Peak, you need to give me enough trust!" I, Zhu Tian, am not as simple as you think......"
The two of them said as they walked back to the lumber yard.
The sound of lifting water sounded in the donkey shed, and Zhu Tian followed the sound and walked in.
Stepping on the wet straw, Zhu Tian came to the cardinal.
At this moment, the cardinal's whole body was trembling. The lips are pale and the eyes are misty. "You're here!" he said a few words in a trembling voice. "You're going to hell! You're going to fall into the abyss! I curse you!"
When he heard the word abyss, Zhu Tian obviously felt a sense of tightness in his body. He knew it was Pique's reaction.
Frowning, he lifted the straw from the cardinal's feet.
Zhu Tian was shocked to find that his feet had turned pitch black! Several huge holes were eroding the surface of his feet like wormholes! From a distance, they looked like two weathered stones.
The smell of decay emanates from the hole. And the poison is still spreading to his ankles!
"Curse you! You wicked fellow! If you imprison me here, the god of light will know! A hundred miles will be cursed because of you! Your family! Your parents! Your friends! Everything you will be cursed! The whole peaceful town will be cursed because of you! I curse you to die in guilt! I curse you to die in despair!" Originally, he had a pair of golden eyes that radiated light, but at this time, it was a little cloudy, like two clouds of chaos.
Maybe he didn't even know what he was talking about.
Zhu Tian squatted in front of him and waited for him to finish. "Is there anything else you want to say?" he asked, "and give you a little more time to confide in yourself." β
"Curse you...... Curse you......" He had used all his strength just now, and all that was left was muttering to himself. "When I go out, I will purify you with my own hands...... Let you die under the light......" The more he spoke, the more powerless he became. The last volume hovered between moans and murmurs.
"Hey, can't sleep!
"I need to go play a little more, master. β
"Forget it, come here, give me your axe. β
Frank removes the double axe from his back.
"One handle is enough. Zhu Tian got up and took the axe. "Varenua Steel?"
"Yes, master!"
Varenua is a place name that is rich in steel and is famous throughout the continent. Varenua steel is also known as the best and hardest steel.
Both the handle and the blade of the axe are the color of steel.
The cold touch and heavy feeling came from the handle of the axe, and Zhu Tian weighed it slightly, holding it on the black cloth tightly wrapped around the handle of the axe.
Well, that way you can hold it.
I didn't expect Frank's axe to be so heavy. Zhu Tian secretly compared it, thinking that the weight of this hand axe should be as high as seven or eight Sandi wooden sticks.
He was considering whether to make a wooden hand axe for Frank out of Sandy wood, which would be at least half as light as Varenua steel.
After two strokes out of thin air, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, I'll help you with this. Frank said in a deep voice.
Zhu Tian tilted his head and looked at the former mercenary leader. "Do you know him?" he asked. "Don't you think I'm killing a good person?"
"The owner is a good person, so he doesn't kill a good person. β
"You get a sense of humor, Frank. Zhu Tian narrowed his eyes. Then his tone changed, and he looked directly at him and said, "What if I say he's a cardinal?"
In an instant, the two glanced at each other at this moment. Zhu Tian clearly saw a look of surprise on his face.
"Grab your hand axe, Frank, and go. Zhu Tian pointed to the cardinal.
The cardinal, who was sitting on the ground, opened his confused eyes at this time, but he only glanced at it in confusion, lowered his head, and fell asleep again. He was so tired that every half hour, Frank would douse him with cold water to wake him up from his nightmare. Day and night went by, and the cardinal was on the verge of collapse.
Frank, who was standing opposite Zhu Tian, wanted to speak, but after his strong chest rose and fell a few times, he swallowed the words that had come to his throat again.
With difficulty, he came to the cardinal.
Some slowly raised their hand axes, as if their hand axes were thousands of pounds.
His eyes flashed through the previous bloody battle, the dead brothers, and the image of his declaration of allegiance to Zhu TianβI, Frank Garris, a fourth-level warrior from the royal capital, and the leader of the Timberwolves Mercenary Regiment, pledge my allegiance to Your Excellency, and I am willing to be your subordinate! For the rest of my life, I will protect my oath today with my blood and life! It's just ...... Will you accept my allegiance......
Urn!
He let out an extremely suppressed roar from his mouth, and his hands fell violently, and the hand axe that glowed with the characteristic light of Varenua steel slashed at the cardinal!
Bite!
A golden spark burst before his eyes, and he was surprised to find that he had not struck the cardinal's head, but had struck his other axe!
This...... He looked at Zhu Tian beside him suspiciously. "Master," he said in a muffled voice, "I don't understand. β
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Tian's mouth, "I don't understand, I want you to cut off his feet, what are you doing with his head?" He said, "You see, his feet are dead, aren't they? So what we need to do is heal him, not kill him." β
"Huh?" Frank was dumbfounded, a relaxed look on his face flashing.
Zhu Tian touched his arm. "It's not a fourth-level samurai, it's really hard to block your axe. He groaned for a moment, a smile on his face, and after giving the other party a few seconds to react, he said to Frank meaningfully, "At some point, did you suspect that you were with the wrong person?" β
Frank was stunned for a moment, Zhu Tian didn't wait for him to speak, and then said, "You came to me, do you remember your original intention?"
Time seemed to flow slowly at this moment, and Frank slowly lowered the axe.
He remembered, of course, organized the language. "You know a lot of things that I don't know, and I'm going to learn wisdom from you. "I never dared to forget." β
In the corner, the big black feet with yellow and blue eyes stared at the donkey's eyes, watching all this in silence.
"Hey, hey, just remember. Zhu Tian glanced at this simple-minded but extraordinary-willed man with great satisfaction, "Don't worry, I won't let you do what you don't want to do." Go, call all your mercenary brothers, I have a task for them. β
After a brief pause, Frank left the donkey shed with his head bowed and confused.
After leaving the lumber yard, he glanced at the setting sun that was about to set above the ground.
Gradually...... He smiled warmer than the setting sun.
