It's a smelly room.

The room was littered with human droppings, as well as food scraps that had become stinky and surrounded by flies.

The only wooden bed that was still clean was a middle-aged man.

The man's beard and hair were covered in lice, and his face looked like it hadn't been washed in days and was covered in dirt.

He was looking at the ceiling, his legs crossed, doing nothing.

Suddenly, there was a sound at the door not far away, and a glimmer of sunlight came in through the gap.

"Mom, is that you? You're back?"

A smile of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he quickly sat up from the bed.

"Daniel, it's me. ”

Lillian's figure appeared in the doorway.

Ignoring the mess in the house, she walked in, looked at Daniel's disgusting face, and kissed her.

"Did you bring back the money?"

Daniel's hands kept clutching at his shabby, sweat-soaked clothes.

"Of course, my silly son. ”

Lillian pulled the silver coin from her pocket, the silver glow nearly blinding Daniel's eyes.

He had never looked at a silver coin so closely.

"It's ...... A hundred copper coins worth a silver coin?"

Daniel's mouth opened wide.

"It's like a fake. ”

Lillian put it back in her pocket.

"Quick! Mom will show me again!"

Daniel jumped up and down, his face flushed with excitement, and he didn't have the steady appearance of a middle-aged man at all.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, this money is the foundation of our survival in the town, and with this money, we don't have to suffer here. ”

Lillian touched Daniel's head and sat down on the bed.

Looking at Daniel's head surrounded by lice, Lillian felt a little distressed, "It's really hard for you." ”

"If we didn't have those monsters, how good would we be in the village......

Thinking of her previous happy life, Lillian couldn't help but shed tears.

After crying for a while, coupled with the previous run, she seemed to be a little tired, leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

"Mom?"

Daniel reached out and shook it in Lillian's closed eyes.

Seeing that Lillian's breathing was still steady, he reached into the pocket that had previously held the silver coin.

Feeling the hard silver coin, Daniel's face couldn't help but show a little joy.

He carefully lifted the coin, and seeing that his mother was still unaware, he put it in his pocket and quietly got out of bed.

Creeping to the door, slowly pushing open the door, feeling the warm sunlight outside, he was like a bird out of the cage at the moment, running outside.

The half-open door, in the silence of the room, could hear Lilian's slight breathing from time to time.

A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

It seemed to be a dream of the kind young man who had given her a silver coin that was of great value to her, or the Rory who had helped her get out of the ghetto.

Perhaps she also dreamed of her and Daniel's happy life in a clean and tidy township.

No matter what the dream is, it is a dream that is destined to be unrealizable.

The old woman slept very soundly.

"Hey, dead old woman, wake up!"

Hearing the man's loud shout, Lillian slowly opened her eyes, as if she hadn't figured out what was going on.

"Wake up, your son is dying!"

Hearing the word son, Lillian sat up suddenly, and when she saw that there was no Daniel around, she was immediately anxious, and hurriedly got out of bed, ignoring the on her feet, and walked towards the source of the sound.

The sound came from the doorway.

"My son, Daniel?"

When she walked to the door, she saw not her son's familiar face, but a tall black figure who couldn't see clearly because of the sunlight.

The sun had just risen outside, and Lillian had slept for almost a day.

The dark shadow stepped out of the way, revealing the world outside the house.

"Daniel!"

Looking at Daniel, who was caught by two tall men outside the house, his face was covered with blood, and he was dying, Lillian's body went limp, and she almost fainted.

Covering her nose, the shadow pulled Lillian out of the room and rudely threw her on the ground.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, they gathered around.

"Isn't this Lillian and her shitty son Daniel?"

"How did Daniel get into trouble with Schuck?"

"When he heard that Lillian had gotten a silver coin, Daniel stole it and went out to eat, drink, and gamble, only to be targeted by Schurk. ”

"Oh my God, a silver coin! that's money to keep their family alive in the town!"

"If I had a son of waste like Daniel, I'd kill him!"

The people around him, dressed in tatters and with yellow faces, suddenly lit up with some numb eyes when they heard a silver coin.

With a silver coin, they don't have to struggle to survive in this hellish place.

"Your son owes us two silver coins, hurry up and take them out!"

A small man who looked about the height of a ten-year-old walked up to Lilian and looked at her with eagerness.

For him, the boss of the slums, a silver coin was already a good extra money, and he didn't expect to get it from Daniel, a well-known waste.

"I ...... I didn't, Master Schuke, let Daniel and me go......"

Looking at her son's tragic condition, Lillian said with tears in her eyes.

"If you don't have any money, then I'll charge your son a finger as interest!"

Hearing Lillian's words, Shuk turned around and grabbed Daniel's head like a dead dog with one hand, and took a knife from a man next to him with the other.

"No, no! Master Shuk, I really don't have any money!"

Seeing this scene, Lillian didn't know where she got the strength, barely got up from the ground, hugged Shuk's legs, and the sticky tears and snot stained Shuk's trouser legs.

"How did that silver coin come from?"

Shuk didn't care, let go of Daniel's head, and looked at Lilian condescendingly.

"A kind man saw that I was pitiful...... For me. ”

Lillian lowered her head, her voice a little slurred.

"Then you can go to the man and ask for two silver coins, and I'll give you one anyway, and I won't mind giving two more." ”

Shuk laughed, his odd smile out of place with his dwarf-like stature.

"I ...... I see, please don't touch Daniel!"

Lillian didn't even dare to look up at Daniel again, she was afraid that she would faint when she saw it.

"Got it, as long as you have the money to pay off your debts, everything is easy to say...... Otherwise......"

Shuk leaned into Lillian's ear, his voice as low as a secret whisper between lovers.

Suddenly, the knife in his hand fell down so hard that it slashed right Daniel's right index finger without making a sound, and the top half of the finger rolled on the ground.

"Ahh

Daniel, who was still groggy and groggy, began to scream, and his voice was deafening.

The blood-stained fingers rolled in front of Lilian, who was bowing her head, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she fainted directly.

The laughter of men could be heard all around.

"Alright, let's go back. ”

"Jett, you wait here, this damned old woman will bring her to me when she gets the money. ”

"Are there goblins here too?"

The giant axe in his hand volatilized in the air, turning into axe fragments, and Eren stood next to the corpse of a goblin, watching countless mouse corpses dissolve and muttering to himself.

Just in case, he took three axe fragments from Old Oak yesterday, but he didn't expect to use them today.

There aren't many rats in Greystone, but there are definitely a few.

Although this is the first goblin that Eren has encountered, it is inevitable that there will be a second, and the third will only appear in other corners of the town under the contamination of magic.

The goblin's countless rats provide it with excellent defense, ordinary blades can't penetrate the walls of flesh and blood, and its razor-sharp claws can sharpen iron like clay.

This also causes ordinary people, even well-trained guards, to be powerless in the face of the lowest level of monsters like goblins.

It takes a well-trained squad of guards to be able to annihilate a goblin on its own.

It is completely unrealistic to rely on the two magicians Alan and Mia to run around and maintain the stability of the entire Greystone Town.

As for some of the guards in Greystone Town, according to Allen's observation, these people are completely a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, who have not experienced war for a long time, and they can't even catch some petty theft, let alone vicious monsters.

Not only that, but they also took advantage of the turmoil to enrich their own pockets, and even gladly accepted bribes from some criminals.

If it weren't for the fact that they were needed to defend the city and maintain basic order, Alan would have turned them into his own nourishment.

He has sacrificed more than 20 criminals in the past few days, and there is still no sequelae as Front's mouth said.

Although he sacrificed a lot of people, Eren still did not cross the hurdle of becoming a two-star magician.

After listening to the wailing of the rats and sacrificing the goblins, Eren shook his body and walked out of the alley.

Graystone is still thriving and lively, at least on the surface.

"How's the catch?"

As he was walking towards the office, Alan saw Mia in a black cloak on the street and hurriedly chased after her.

"Three rapists, two murderers, ten robbers, and a goblin. ”

After Mia finished speaking, she closed her mouth and didn't even look back at Alan.

"I'm a little less than you, but I've met a goblin. ”

"Oh. ”

Mia never seemed interested in things that weren't on official business.

Alan wouldn't be bored with her.

Just as the two of them were about to walk to the front of the office, Alan suddenly felt someone walking towards the two of them.

"Is that her?"

Alan turned his head to look, but saw that it was the old woman from yesterday, and couldn't help but say something.

"Huh?"

Mia turned her head away, her gaze locked on Lillian.

"My lord, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

As soon as Lillian got closer, she grabbed Alan's hand with tears streaming down her face.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Looking at the wrinkles on the other party's face, feeling the strange glances of the pedestrians on the street around him, Alan frowned and asked.

"My son owes two silver coins, and if I don't give them today, they will kill my son!"

Lillian's tears flowed even more at the thought of Daniel, and she choked up.

"Let go. ”

Alan said that even if he was no longer human, he would not be so stupid.

"Yesterday I kindly gave her a silver coin. ”

Seeing that Mia was looking at herself, Alan explained.

I only gave one silver coin yesterday, and today I came up to myself to ask for two silver coins, and I really think I am wronged?

A silver coin was enough for the old woman and her family to settle down, and she was insatiable.

After crossing over, Allen's impression of these low-level people in the Middle Ages is getting worse and worse.

Hearing Allen's explanation, Mia also withdrew her curious gaze and continued to walk forward.

She's not the kind of person who is overflowing with kindness and being nosy.

"Please, my lord, human life is at stake!"

Hearing Alan's indifferent voice, Lillian became more and more anxious.

Seeing that the old woman's face was full of snot and tears still had a look of hope, Alan became more and more impatient.

With a slight flick of his hand, he shook off the old woman's hand, and without even looking back, he walked straight forward.

Although two silver coins are nothing to him, he has no interest in continuing to accurately alleviate poverty.

Eren is still waiting to continue to punish evil and promote good after eating, and by the way, strengthen his magic power.

Lillian fell to the ground, her face covered in tears.

The pedestrians around him also withdrew their gaze at this moment and continued to live their lives.

In this world, people can't even take care of themselves, how can they have the energy to care about the lives and deaths of others.

Crying until her eyes were red and swollen and she couldn't cry anymore, Lillian used the only strength she had to get up from the ground and walk towards the slum step by step.

At this moment, she is like a walking corpse.

Halfway through, Lilian's eyes suddenly lit up, and her pace began to tighten.

"Rory, Rory, where are you?"

Walking outside the slum's defenses, Lillian cried out.

"Mrs. Lilian, don't be so loud, it's hard for me to deal with the trouble. ”

Hearing Lilian's voice, Rory hurriedly walked down from the sentry post, ran to Lilian's face, looked around, and saw that there were no guards from other places, so he came over and whispered.

"You...... Save Daniel. ”

"Something happened to Daniel, why didn't you tell me before?"

"Don't worry about that, Daniel owes Shuk two silver coins, and now that he's been arrested, Xiuke says he won't see two silver coins today...... Just kill Daniel......"

At the mention of her son, Lillian's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Repair...... Schuck?"

Hearing this name, Rory was taken aback and hurriedly took Lillian aside.

"If it was Schuck, I might ...... Unable to do anything ......"

Not daring to look at Lilian's red eyes again, Rory lowered his head and whispered.

"That'...... Can you lend me two coins?"

"Two silver coins...... I only have one silver coin on me...... And that guy never talks about trustworthiness...... Maybe it's going to backtrack......"

Rory's fingers rubbed against the leather coat, and he was about to say something, but he heard Lillian suddenly cry loudly, "Woo woo, my poor son......"

"Mrs. Lilian, don't cry!"

Seeing Lilian's teary eyes, Rory suddenly panicked, he looked around and gritted his teeth, "In this case, I'll go find someone else to borrow another silver coin, you wait here, don't cry." ”

Seeing that Lillian's mood had stabilized a little, Rory walked briskly towards the checkpoint.

......

"Is it worth it to treat an old woman like this?"

Several soldiers handed a handful of copper coins to Rory, and one of them couldn't help but speak out.

"I can't see Mrs. Lillian crying. ”

"Don't say she looks like your grandmother, or she looks like your mother, two silver coins are too much. ”

"yes, and you'd better not mess with Schuck or you'll be the next Jack. ”

Jack, a former guard, mysteriously disappeared from his post one day after making a bad remark to Schuke.

Waving to his colleagues, Rory pocketed the copper coins and walked towards Lillian, his young face full of determination.

"I have always regretted that I did not honor my grandmother properly and let her die in pain, and this time I have a chance, and I will definitely not disappoint Mrs. Lillian!"
