Chapter 4 Malice

"Damn, those guys out there are still searching for you. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info is really insistent. ”

Lily pushed the door back, threw a piece of white flour to Ash, and said, "Eat, I've made a lot of money today." ”

She scooped up a spoonful of water and drank it happily, "I really don't know what you did to make those guards still look for you." ”

Seeing that Ash did not respond, Lily muttered a few words boringly, lay on the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Ash looked at the bread in his hand, it was hot, and then at the tired and asleep woman, thinking.

Perhaps, she can trust the woman in front of her.

Closing his eyes, he manipulated the dark elements around him to slowly penetrate into his body, repairing the internal organs in his body.

Half-rattling, Ash clenched his fists, feeling that his fingers were still a little weak. The simple bandaging she had done before didn't bring her hands and feet back to normal at all.

Ash frowned, aimed his left elbow at his right wrist, and then pressed hard!

The wrist made a crisp "click", and it was simply broken by her.

From breaking to being reconnected, in just a few seconds, Ash's movements were done in one go, and if anyone saw it here, they would definitely applaud her clean movements.

Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but her movements did not stop until she broke her hands and feet back together, and then sat down.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and without the help of healing magic, it will take a long time for her reconnected bones to recover intact.

After thinking about it, Ash pursed his lips, endured the pain, and directed the dark element to be injected into his hands and feet. Under the induction of her spiritual power, those small black elements condensed into black bands, firmly buckling the bones that had only been connected under her flesh and blood. It was like a fixed brace, reinforcing the connection between her bones and bones.

After doing all this, Ash closed his eyes tiredly.

Three days passed peacefully, giving Ash some time to recover his bones. With the help of the dark elements that coalesced into a bond, her fingers holding the file were now strong, and she no longer walked high and low.

Gently wiping the table in the room with water, Ash heard the sound of running from far and near.

It seems that Lily came back early today.

"Ash, I'm back!"

Lily slammed the door open, her eyes widened at the sight of the new room, and then she grabbed at the ashes. "Quick, let's go." ”

Ash dodged her movements. He asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Explain to you on the way, quick, let's get out of here first."

Ash frowned, but still put down the black rag in his hand. Caught up with Lily.

She tried to trust the woman in front of her.

As the two ran as they ran, Lily explained, "Some of the slum boys saw the bounties that the guards had put on the wall, and now the bastards have come to the door. ”

She carefully took the ashes all the way to the alley next to a small courtyard with a single door, knocking on the side door.

The door was opened by an old woman with gray temples, the woman said. "Ash, this mother-in-law is my friend, you can stay here with confidence. Don't leave. ”

"What about you?"

"I'll go see what's going on."

Looking in the direction of the ghetto, she bit her lower lip and said, "There... It's my home after all. ”

Lily trotted away, Ash frowning. was about to follow, but the old woman next to her grabbed her arm. said, "The people in the slums have the way of the people in the slums, and if you go there, you can't help her, but you will harm her." ”

"Alright, come in, I'll go get you some hot wine and hot food, you're hungry too."

The old woman came out with food, squinted her eyes and said, "Speaking of which, my old woman still wants to thank you." ”

"If it weren't for you, Lily wouldn't have come to me. I've wanted to recognize her as a granddaughter for a long time. ”

The old woman recounted her acquaintance with Lily, chattering and looking completely caught up in the memories of the past.

Ash stopped after taking a bite of the food, the file clenched in the palm of his hand.

She has lost most of her magic and internal strength, and her body has also been tortured and lost her strength. But that doesn't mean she's lost her body's reflexes and experiences. With the gradual recovery of her mental power and dark magic, her sense of touch, smell, and hearing also slowly recovered.

This bite of meat steak has drugs in it.

The smell of the drug may be colorless and fragrant to the average person, but to the former killer Ash, her nose and tongue can distinguish other flavors from the strong aroma of the steak. Ash, who had studied with Pudor in the past, only took a small bite and could tell that this meat steak was mixed with a powerful sleeping potion.

After swallowing this potion, ordinary people will become weak, lose consciousness, and fall asleep for a whole day. In the military of the Hiro Kingdom, this medicine was often used as a substitute for a powerful paralyzing agent with some side effects, so that the wounded could sleep for a day and rest while they were being treated.

But Ash didn't think that the other party just wanted her to sleep.

"What's the matter, doesn't the food I cook to your taste?"

Gray glanced at the old man with a smile on his face, and there was no emotion in his translucent eyes, but it unexpectedly made the old woman feel palpitations.

Her smile froze, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, could it be that this ugly woman saw something?

No, how is this possible? This powerful sleeping potion was a high-end item that cost her three gold coins, how could this lowly slave see it?

Thinking of this, her smile regained and said, "Look at your skinny, you must have been hungry when you lived with Lily." ”

"I told her a long time ago to move in with me, but she didn't want to, and she went out to work every day."

The chattering old woman seems to have no idea what Lily is doing every day, but simply complains and worries about Lily's old family.

In terms of acting skills, she can score a hundred points.

It's just that Ash can't be sure, is it the old woman in front of her who wants to be unfavorable to her, or is Lily partnering with her?

It's not that she hasn't been betrayed, or that she and Lily are just rescued and rescued, not friends at all. So it's not like Lily betrayed her.

It's just that... Ash pressed his chest, and suddenly missed Pink Crystal, Nossisi. Molica, David them.

"What's wrong? Chest pain? ”

The old lady looked worried, and said, "I have medicine there, I'll get it for you." ”

"No need."

Ash shook his head, lowered his head and muffled the steak.

For her, the drug didn't work at all. No matter what the other party's plans were, she planned to eat and drink enough first, so that she could have the strength to deal with the next situation.

After calculating the time of the onset of the drug's effect, the old lady glanced at Ash again. I wondered why she hadn't fallen yet.

"That's... Do you feel anything wrong? She couldn't help it and asked out loud.

Gray eyes looked up and was silent.

Damn it. How could she be okay? Could it be that the potion is fake?

No way, she has done experiments, a small drop can make a dog unconscious for a long time, it can't be fake.

So... Did she not eat the food at all?

No, that's not going to be possible. She had watched her eat the seasoned steaks one bite at a time.

The anxious old lady kept looking up at the sky, and it would not be long before they came. What if she escapes before then?

"This is it!"

Lily's voice appeared at the gate of the courtyard with many footsteps.

Unlike the ecstatic old woman, Ash just stood up in silence.

Seeing that Ash was moving freely, the old lady's complexion changed again and pounced on her. Grabbing the ash with one hand, he shouted, "Come in." She's running away! ”

The door slammed open, and Lily and a group of soldiers and servants rushed in, quickly surrounding Ash and the old woman.

"You didn't give her medicine?"

"Of course I gave it to her!"

The old lady grabbed the gray arm and didn't let go, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw those soldiers, and said. "Those potions didn't work for her."

"But it's good that you came back early, otherwise I'd be afraid she'd run away."

"It's rubbish. It's so hard for you to look at individuals. ”

Lily scolded, then faced a middle-aged man beside her and flattered, "Look, this is the woman you are offering a reward." ”

"Well, that's right."

Seeing the man in Silmilan's costume nodding, Lily immediately smiled.

After seeing the appearance of the ashes, the surrounding soldiers whispered one after another, "It's rare to see such an ugly woman. ”

"That said, I really can't understand why you Silmilan are paying me a lot of money to find such a slave."

"Who knows, maybe she saw something she shouldn't see?"

Who said that men don't gossip, those soldiers and a few of Sylmilan's servants, pointing and pointing, were speculating about what had happened to her, and her whole face was ruined like this.

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare let such an ugly face hang in front of my eyes all the time."

"Hahahaha, who dares to ask for such a slave!"

"No wonder the steward told us that we only needed to look at it to know that it was the target."

The servants giggled and went to grab the ashes, and the old lady patted the dust on her body, grinned at the ashes, and said, "Don't blame me, who made your bounty so high?" ”

Turning her head, she smiled at Lily and said, "Daughter, you're doing so well! ”

"Hmph, of course, don't look at who I am." Lily smug.

But when she met Ash, she knew that she was a slave on the run. After all, the slave mark on her face was so obvious.

If she had just let the runaway slave be captured by the soldiers, she would have nothing to gain. But if it's up to her to return it to the slave owner, there's sure to be some reward. It doesn't matter if you can't find her owner, just sell her again.

In Mosa City, there is a trafficker who doesn't know her Lily's name.

It's just that she didn't expect the other party to be so valuable. Silmilan paid a hefty price of 100 gold coins to find the escaped slave.

A hundred gold coins! That's a fortune she won't necessarily be able to earn in her lifetime.

However, Lily did not hurry, but stabilized the ash, because she knew that if the other party could not find the slave, the reward would definitely be raised.

As she expected, the amount of yesterday's bounty was suddenly tripled.

Originally, her plan would be a few days later to see if the bounty would be increased, but she didn't expect that when she appeared in the slum with Ash that day, there was a torturer who remembered Ash's appearance and reported it to the city guard after learning about the bounty.

So she had no choice but to leave the house she had occupied with the ashes and come here with the ashes.

Hmph, if it weren't for that torturer, she might have gotten a little more bounty. But now I'm worried that the other party will confess to my Lily, so I can only report the crime.

She didn't want to be tortured by that time.

Lily, who had received a large bag of gold coins, had golden lights shining in her eyes, all of which were seen by Ash.

The servant holding the ashes laughed, "Don't look at it, you're unlucky." ”

"If you leave the city early, that's fine. I didn't expect you to run into these two women. ”

"Mother and daughter are old faces in Mosa City. Trafficking in non-locals, defrauding non-locals... None of the long-term residents here do not know about them. ”

Ash lowered his head and figured out all the keys at once.

It's not like she didn't meet such a person when she was in the interstellar days. Some people can even betray friends, relatives, and lovers for the sake of bounty, not to mention that there is nothing between her and Lily.

She saved herself and then sold herself again, so she didn't owe Lily anything.

Ash stopped, grabbing his servant and about to kick him up, only to find that his feet suddenly couldn't move.

He looked down, but saw that his feet were grabbed by a pair of hands, and he froze for a moment.

It was a pair of white bony hands, and there was not a trace of flesh on them, only the bones of Bai Sensen. It's like shaving off all the flesh on his hands and grabbing him with the bones that are left.

As the hands gripped his calves separately, the unusually vivid touch made the servant's face change several times, and finally he couldn't help it, and let out a woman-like scream.

"O undead!"

"What the hellβ€”" Lily turned her head, and just one glance made her legs tremble and she went limp.

In front of her eyes, the skeleton of Bai Sensen that broke out of the ground was so terrifying, like a messenger of hell, about to harvest her life.

"She's a necromancer!"

"Oh my God, she's an evil necromancer?!"

The servants and soldiers shouted one after another. Except for the servant who had been caught by the bone hand, everyone else hid in the opposite corner of the gray and gathered together.

On the ground, skeletal soldiers burst out of the ground, some of them dressed in rags, some of them bare, and they looked ridiculous. But the servants and soldiers did not dare to laugh at them, on the contrary, their teeth fought up and down with fear. The servant who was caught was already incontinent and fainted suddenly.

Ash was a little incomprehensible.

The psychological quality of these people is too low, right? And when did the necromancer become evil? Aren't necromancers the only ones to hate?

"It can't be!" The middle-aged man led by Silmilan cried out, his words full of disbelief, "How could you be magical?!" ”

Gray faint smile, she hadn't recovered before, and the other party naturally didn't know that she had magic power.

Although her current magic power is only an apprentice level at best, her mental power has only only recovered to the level of an ordinary magician. But fortunately, there is a branch of dark magic that requires very little magic and enough mental power to cast powerful magic.

And this branch is necromancy.
