It was late autumn, and the month of prayer was about to enter winter, and the weather was gradually turning colder. Raindrops trickled through the clouds, bringing the last autumn rain of the year to St. Caesar's city.

Oss only got the news after eating breakfast.

He stood in front of the window, his fingers stroking a very simple woven bracelet. This bracelet was given to him by Angelina after he walked out of the hut last night, and he remembered Angelina's expectant expression at that time, until he put the bracelet on his left hand, and the little girl ran back to the shed with a smile on her face.

"Os, I've got accurate information that that this was done by that asshole from Adrien. Colin shouted,

"Oh, yes? I see. Oss was interrupted by Colin's angry voice.

Colin looked at Os's bland performance, it was incredible, he was about to get out of anger, but Oss was like nothing had happened.

"Os, why are you so calm and stupid? We can't just settle the score, we must settle accounts with Adrien and his grandfather. ”

After Colin finished speaking, he also cursed a swear word, which showed that he was in a bad mood.

"How do you settle the score, do you beat him up?" Oss still looked out the window.

"What are you afraid of, my father is also a duke, your godfather is St. William, and we beat him for nothing. It's not like I haven't beaten him, I can beat him two by myself. ”

"Does it work? Angelina and her grandmother are dead. What can I do?, angrily beating Adrien, they couldn't come back, and ......" Oss's voice finally fluctuated. "A lot of people are waiting for me to get revenge on him. ”

Colin collapsed instantly, he knew that what Oss said was right, but he just felt aggrieved in his heart. "You can't just leave it at that, can you?"

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and Oss reached out to catch some of the rain, feeling the chill. Then he spoke.

"Let's deal with Angelina and her grandmother first. I still need to think about how to do it next. ”

Colin nodded.

"Okay, if there's anything you need to tell me, I'll get it for you even if I go back and roll around. ”

St. Caesar's City Crime Hall Morgue.

Os, Colin and Doris, as well as Ares, are waiting for the formalities to be taken away from Angelina and her grandmother.

The caretaker of the morgue scolded and complained: "Two scavengers, let us go to the shelter early in the morning, and now there are still people to collect it, it's really troublesome." This autumn rain is also annoying, and the hands and feet of people who are frozen are cold. By the way, what's your name, and what's your relationship to the deceased?"

Colin was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Oss.

"My name is Oss, and I'm their friend, so I'm sorry for you. As he spoke, Oss handed over a handful of silver coins.

When the administrator saw the silver coin in Oss's hand, he quickly glanced left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, his right hand stretched out extremely quickly, picked up the silver coin, and skillfully put it into his trouser pocket.

"Ahem, well, you wait a minute, I'll report to Master Martin, and you can take it. ”

After the administrator accepted the silver coin, his attitude was much better, and he stopped being verbose, and turned around and walked into the next room.

At this time, three people suddenly walked in at the gate, and the leader was none other than Adrian. And the two people behind him, one of them were dressed in gray power suits, wearing a long sword, and their right hands were always on the hilt of the sword as they walked.

The other was a tall, dark-skinned man with a lush face and two thick horns on his head, who was actually a half-orc. In fact, orcs are very common in the human empire, they are naturally powerful, and they are good guards and slaves.

When Colin saw the comer, he exclaimed excitedly.

"Adrien, you dare to come to the door. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to meet him.

Seeing Colin like this, Oss quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and then took a step forward himself, blocking Colin behind him. Because he saw that both men behind Adrien were intentionally or unintentionally aiming at his and Colin's fatal parts.

When Oss was a mercenary in his previous life, he often did this, which was a natural habit developed by years of fighting, so he quickly judged that the two people following behind Adrien were dangerous.

And Ares quietly followed Oss to the front, his long sword was already half an inch out of the sheath, as long as Oss gave an order, he would definitely not hesitate to strike.

Adrien didn't pay attention to Colin at all, he just said to Oss, "I'm sorry, I let the fire last night start. However, I have already pleaded guilty to the Criminal Department this morning, and I have also paid a large fine. At the same time, I received forgiveness from a bishop. But my father still insisted that I still need to come and apologize to you, so I came. ”

Adrien said apologetic, but his expression was arrogant, without any apology or guilt.

Oss stared at him word by word and said, "The person you need to apologize for is not me. ”

"Oh?" Ardrien was visibly stunned, then reacted to the two scavengers. "The two scavengers?"

Suddenly, he burst out laughing, and then said to Oss, "Are they worthy?"

"You will. ”

After Oss said something that puzzled everyone present, he ignored Adrien.

Just then, the Administrator who had gone to report came out of Master Martin's room.

"Alright, Master Martin said you can take the bodies of the two scavengers, come and sign them. ”

Oss nodded, and was about to walk over, but suddenly something occurred to him, and he turned to Adrien again.

"She has a name, her name is Angelina. ”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, crackling and pouring into the damp muddy soil, splashing countless tiny mud spots.

Angelina and her grandmother's mausoleum was chosen in a secluded cemetery outside the city.

A priest was supposed to be invited to celebrate Mass, but Oss said he would, and he was also a formal clergyman, so only Oss was present at the funeral.

At the end of the funeral, after a brief mourning process, Oss said that he wanted to be alone for a while, and Colin and Doridis went to the cemetery gate to wait for him.

"Angelina, I'm sorry, I'm the one who bothered you, I'll give you and your grandmother an explanation. You are a believer in the God of Light, and I hope that your family will be together in Heaven. Oss stroked the little tombstone with his right hand on the bracelet, just as he had stroked the top of the little girl's head last night.

"Yes, whoever believes in the God of Light will have eternal life in the kingdom of heaven. ”

A soft female voice suddenly sounded. Oss turned his head to see that it was Julia.

The road in the cemetery was muddy, but Julia didn't mind the stained white robe as she walked, and slowly came to Oss's side, and then put her right hand on her chest, and made a solemn prayer to the two newly built tombs in front of her.

"The God of Light will bless the believers of God forever. ”

After blessing him, Fu said to Oss: "I'm sorry, Oss, I didn't know it would happen. Because of my willfulness, I caused the tragic death of Angelina and her grandmother. ”

"The blame for this matter is not yours. Besides, you've just apologized to Angelina and them, so that's it. ”

Oss shook his head, he didn't need anyone's apology. In fact, for the death of Angelina and the two, Oss was not angry with Colin in the same way.

Colin was angry at Adrian's cruel psychopaths and provocative actions against them, and if you really want to dig deeper, most of the reason for Colin's anger is the latter.

In Oss's heart, Adrien provoked him, and even implicated Angelina, he would not be so angry, as long as Adrien was punished accordingly.

However, in fact, it was Adrien who was not punished in the slightest, and everyone took it for granted, and everyone felt that Adrien had hurt him. Even, in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, this matter has become a bargaining chip that can be used to obtain benefits.

Two human lives are like dust under the rules of this world.

This is really terrible, is it that one day, Oss himself will become exactly the same dust as Angelina, his beloved, the people close to him, will be easily added to cruel means, and then afterwards, only need to pay a certain amount of gold, and a sentence "You will live forever in heaven", the perpetrator can continue to live well without guilt, continue to be high in his place.

You know, in the whole process, Angelina's family didn't do anything wrong, it turns out that this is the doomed end of the weak and the low?

Oss had never been so angry, nor had he been so disappointed in a world.

Time passed, and Oss and Julia stood quietly in front of Angelina's tombstone.

After a long time, Julia spoke, "We all thought you would do something to Adrien, but you didn't. Many people say that you are looking into the big picture, while others say that you are timid and afraid. But I don't think so, are you right about what I think?"

Oss looked at the familiar face, he didn't want to be perfunctory in front of her, and he didn't want to deceive.

Colin wanted to beat up Adrien, humiliate him, and maybe even use some means to make Adrien's position in the family unstable. But I stopped him, and it was completely unnecessary, because I felt that these punishments were too light, at least too light compared to two lives. ”

Julia was startled, she understood what Oss meant, but she thought Oss was too crazy, and hurriedly said.

"Os, you can't do that, in that case, the laws of the empire and the teachings of the Holy Religion will become your opposite, and no one will be able to protect you at that time, and Duke Agato will definitely make you pay with blood. ”

Oss smiled brightly. "But I can't think of any other way to comfort Angelina's spirit in heaven, people always have to follow their inner thoughts and go crazy again, otherwise, life will be too boring. ”

Yulia frowned and emphasized. "You're going to die. ”

"So, you must keep this secret for me. ”

"Why?"

"Just keep this a secret, after all, it's your first time..."

Oss sensed the murderous aura and added.

"A dance partner for the first time. ”
