Volume II: The Frontier Chapter XXIV: Retribution
Luo Crocodile and Li Jackal sent people to invite the wasteland sacrifices, priests, priests and other talents that can be found in the black market, as well as those who can heal magic, and spend a lot of money to heal themselves, but their injuries can only be completely healed by the highest level of recovery magic, and these magic are basically high-level barren layers, they almost never appear in the black market, most of the people who come here are primary, Intermediate, so despite the effort, the result was that one of the right ears was permanently damaged and almost deaf, and the left hand barely returned to its normal appearance, but it could not be held, and the two were left with lifelong disabilities and grudges.
"What are we going to do, just admit it?"
"Brother Jackal, what else can I do if I don't recognize it, I didn't expect him to dare to treat the two of us like this, miscalculated. ”
"Let's go, go to the homeland city, find the young city lord, that Mu Chen thought that it was the era when he was dominant, the world had already changed, he was an outdated pioneer who had lost any foundation and had long been forgotten by mankind, he dared to be so arrogant, I can't stand this nest of anger. ”
"No foundation? Forgotten? What he did was to rewrite the fate of mankind, and he disappeared for just three years and had no influence at all? Brother Jackal, what you said is too unreliable. What's the use of looking for a young city lord, I only know that he has resisted the wastelanders, and I have never seen him resist the mercenary, besides, even if he is not allowed to enter the interior and not let him enter the city, it is a big deal for him to go back to the wasteland, and it is a big deal to stay in the border area, no one cares about this buffer zone, and we will be even more troublesome when the time comes. ”
"Don't you usually have a lot of ideas, why don't you have any way this time, and that's it?"
"I'm not reconciled, we have been here for many years, we have endured all kinds of hardships, and finally got ahead, not being slaughtered by others, spending so much money to buy all kinds of relationships, covering the sky with only one hand in the black market, but in the end, I can't even be the master of my own life, I am unwilling. Luo Crocodile sighed as he rubbed his left hand.
"It's useless to say this, if you don't go to me, I'll go to the young city lord tomorrow, he took our money, so he has to support the two of us, if he doesn't care, I'll go to Infinite City to find the iron vice president of the Lizhong Chamber of Commerce, he has a wide network and knows many royal families, even if I go bankrupt, I have to take revenge." Li Jackal gritted his teeth, and his ears bled again due to the excessive force.
"Eh, you're here to remind me of the jackal, Infinity City, by the way, and Infinity City. ”
"Why, I've thought of a way, say it quickly. Li Jackal originally got up to look for paper, but when he heard Luo Crocodile say this, he immediately stopped and hurriedly asked.
"I've heard from the bosses of our weapons and armor that in the past two years, there has been a group of mercenaries calling themselves Libra, who have frequently robbed and killed human beings around Infinity City, especially nobles and chambers of commerce, and people are panicking. Although every crime is masked, there are still people who are recognized, these people are wanted with high bounties, and the royal family is also pursuing them with all their might, we will find a way to let Mu Chen kill humans in front of everyone, and then find someone to spread the news, use the relationship with Vice President Tie, distort and exaggerate things, and frame him as a member of the Libra Troupe, even if he is powerful, I don't believe that he can be the enemy of all mankind. ”
"It's still you're bad, it's not right, it's still you're smart, hahahaha. Li Jackal turned from anger to joy and laughed.
In the mountain spirit village, due to Mu Chen's appearance, both sides settled down, and the villagers no longer hid when they saw the summoned beast disappearing, and they all came out to stand behind the great patriarch, ready to act as the victorious party, and judge them These outsiders, especially the village chief Xia, showed off his demeanor as if he was the protagonist, holding the power of life and death.
The two sisters pulled Mu Chen aside and told Chunyue's experience, and in order to prevent the villagers from framing and confusing the public, they also deliberately lowered their voices.
Mu Chen's expression became more and more solemn, everything that happened was beyond his imagination, although he had lived in the human world for thirty years, he only paid attention to his own opinions, did what he felt should do, and never thought too much about the thoughts of human beings, just like when he was in the wasteland, if it weren't for the acquaintance of Chunyue, he would never care about the thoughts of the people of the wasteland, he has always lived very selfishly, and even a little detached.
After listening to all of Junyue's experiences, he realized that these small beings who had suffered so much in his eyes and struggled to survive had such a complicated side, and he was surprised and angry at the same time.
Everything was clear, and he believed that Chunyue would not lie to him, so he walked over to the villagers and asked, "Who is Village Chief Xia?"
"Me. Village Chief Xia raised his hand inexorably.
"Come out, I have something to ask you. ”
"You're all defeated, and you're still asking me? I haven't... Ahh
"Did you shut up and let you speak?"
"What do you want to do, Patriarch, he... Yes... My legs, my legs. Mu Chen stomped on his leg and trampled it off.
The villagers present immediately looked at the Patriarch Qiluna, but she did not react at all, and did not make any move to intervene. The villagers hurriedly retreated, returning to the same way they had seen the skeletons.
Mu Chen glanced at Mo Cheng who was standing next to Qi Luna again, grabbed her neck, lifted her up, and said: "You are Mo Cheng, I won't talk nonsense about what you have done, that old man is a human being, I won't kill him, but you can't, you should sleep well, and see you under the tree of life in Baoling City." With that, the bruises in his arms erupted, and Mo Cheng struggled in pain, and the frequency of his legs pedaling became faster and faster.
"Mu Chen, let her go. Junyue stepped forward and grabbed him to hold Mocheng's arm, and Kiruna grabbed the other side at the same time.
Mu Chen looked left and right and found that both of them were pleading, so he let go and threw the unconscious Mo Cheng to the ground.
"Chunyue, you still plead for her, you forgot what she did to you, and you deserve to die. Jiayue agreed with Mu Chen's approach, believing that she was innocent of death.
"You know her, what does it have to do with you. Mu Chen asked Qiluna.
"Picked it up. Qi Luna's answer was still confusing, but Mu Chen seemed to understand and stopped asking.
"Hand over her animal skin bag and spirit stone, I promise you're just lame, and if you dare to play tricks, I'll make you never stand up again." Mu Chen bowed his head and threatened Village Chief Xia.
"Quick, get it under my bed. ”
After a while, the villagers took the animal skin bag and handed it to Chunyue, which contained a lot of spirit stones and gold coins, and Chunyue was a little frightened when she got her things back, not because the surprise that was lost and recovered was unexpected, but she didn't expect that Mu Chen would be so cruel to humans and her kindred, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
Jia Yue saw her sister's abnormal behavior and knew that she didn't understand, so she hurriedly stepped forward to enlighten: "He is Mu Chen, a strong man who slaughtered the entire wasteland tribe by himself, and he is already merciful in the face of this kind of person, his gentle and kind side is what we have exchanged for trust, not everyone deserves it." He did it all for you, to help you get revenge. ”
Jia Yue's words were ostensibly for Chunyue, but in fact, she was also a little surprised, she didn't understand why Mu Chen would treat her fellow clans without thinking and mercilessly, but she was not as simple as Chunyue's face, but explained herself in this way. After Chunyue heard this, although she felt that there was some truth, she still felt awkward, so she grabbed her sister and retreated to the side, afraid that Mu Chen would notice something.
"Why would you risk stealing her money, she is from the wasteland?" asked Mu Chen, squatting next to Village Chief Xia.
"I really can't get by, our village is too close to the border, the natural environment is not good, there are many demonic beasts, and I can barely make a living without being robbed, but now I can't even eat a full meal, I don't have money to buy spirit stone powder, the arable land is barren, and the man who can go into the mountains to hunt was injured when he resisted the invasion, and there is really no other way." Village Chief Xia buried his head and cried, whether it was to exonerate or to win sympathy, what he said was indeed the truth.
"I just heard her call you Mu Chen, then you and Damu Capital were the pioneers of the year, you are all big shots, I know what we did wrong, but I still ask you to help us and leave us a way to live." "Village Chief Xia actually just wants money, but he doesn't say it clearly.
Mu Chen took out a spirit stone and put it in a cloth bag, powdered it in front of him, tied it with a rope and threw it to him, and said, "This is for you, take it for more money, you can carry him away." ”
"Thank you, thank you really. Village Chief Xia hurriedly thanked him, and the villagers present also gave up.
The two sisters saw all this not far away and finally understood that Mu Chen was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person in the face of good and evil, whether it was against humans or the same race, evil would be punished, but it was only to different degrees. Besides, this time he was still for Chunyue, for the sake of a wasteland person he had just met, and they shouldn't have any more doubts about this. Junyue swept away her unnatural expression and ran towards him, while Jiayue was much more restrained, but still showed a knowing smile.
"Does your shoulder still hurt, girl, heal her. ”
"Higher-order recovery. Qiluna did as Mu Chen instructed her to cast a recovery spell.
Junyue's whole body glowed with a faint green light, the wounds on her body that had not fully healed before disappeared, she removed the gauze, and her right shoulder was able to move freely.
"Thank you, what's your name, why do they call you the Patriarch?" This was the first time Chunyue took the initiative to talk after they met.
"Kiruna. ”
"By the way, I forgot to introduce it, her name is Jabek Chunyue, gentle and kind, and the arrogant and cold one behind her is called Jabek Jiayue, and they are sisters. Ha ha. ”
"Is our sister's comment too bad?" Jia Yue glared at Mu Chen.
"I was just about to ask, how did you become the Patriarch? Who gave you this title?"
"Young City Lord. ”
"Who is the young city lord? Forget it, don't ask, I'll ask the unconscious one when I have time. Mu Chen glanced at the black orange lying on the ground.
"What else are we going to do?" Jia Yue heard that Mu Chen had other plans.
"What else can I do, this revenge is only half avenged, and there is still half left, let's go, let's go to the black market. ”
Shanling Village is over, and the retribution suffered by Village Chief Xia has also saved the whole village for him, and the black market at the next stop is not so warm.
