The girl saw her brother's unprecedented serious expression, which seemed to be covered with a layer of frost that could not be dissolved, and the people around her also looked solemn, and she seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and she couldn't help but be scared. [No pop-ups.][]

"It's all your fault," the girl's eyes turned red, as if because of the similar age, she ran to Xiao Gu's side, and said aggrievedly: "If it wasn't for your idea, how could I be scolded by my brother?"

If Xiao Gu was really just an ordinary human teenager, he would know that this was just a complaint from the girl's mood, not really his blame, but he didn't understand the twists and turns, he just thought that he did something wrong, or said something wrong.

Xiao Gu thought about it, if it was really because of himself that the mercenary group got into trouble, then he would definitely not back down, although he grew up underground and did not have any sense of justice, but he was never afraid of responsibility, and he dared to face any difficulties and obstacles.

But Luo Lan's meaning seemed to be that even if he helped the mercenary group solve this trouble, he couldn't cause too much trouble, so he asked Luo Lan for advice and said, "My lord, if I made this matter because of me, then should I help them?"

This is the second time Xiao Gu has asked Luo Lan this question, but unlike the casual tone of the first time, this time it seems a little serious.

Luo Lan glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said, "If you feel that you need to do this, then do it, I will not interfere with your choice." =STARTER=="

"Okay!" Bone nodded. He thought about it carefully, took something out of his bosom, put it on his chest, and said, "This was given to me by the Mentor, and it is said that it was previously seized from a monk of the Earth Monks who was killed by her, and I think it should be useful." ”

Since there are also quite a few accompanying merchants in the mercenary team. Scarface went over to comfort them as he prepared for a possible impending battle.

"Sir, since there is danger. Then why don't we hurry up and not leave here?" asked a beautiful merchant who was elected to speak, these small merchants were not members of the merchant alliance. You can't afford to pay the expensive hiring fee alone, so it's not uncommon for a dozen or so to protect each other and save money.

"The knights rode fast horses, and we had carriages. Besides, there are a lot of people, and they can't be avoided no matter what. The Scarface man said in a deep voice, "But." I will explain this to them clearly, as long as they get the money, they will not risk doing anything with us, please don't worry. ”

Seeing his calm expression and reasonable analysis, the businesswoman felt a lot more relieved, and walked back to explain to the merchants that although they were still a little worried, their emotions quickly calmed down.

"Captain, did you really give them money this time?" the big man with the twin swords walked up to the Scarface man. []=Starter== Scarface Man sighed and said, "If only I ask for money." That's a lot easier. ”

"Are we just waiting? They may not find out? As long as we hurry up and get out of this parish, they will have nothing to do with us. ”

"The power of the Monk Guild is not something you and I can imagine. We waited here and didn't escape, and we can clarify this matter, if we flee in a hurry, they will probably mobilize people to surround us," Scarface looked into the distance with a solemn face, and said, "Wait, if they don't come before dawn, then we may face a large group of people." ”

The big man muttered and said, "It's a big deal to leave these people and join the Council of the Dead, I heard that they don't have so many bullshit rules there." ”

"How can you say that?" Scarface rebuked, "Have you forgotten your oath and the reputation you need to protect?

Dahan was said to be reprimanded, his face was so red and white, and he didn't dare to say anything for a while.

However, the worst he had expected did not materialize, and in the second half of the night, many of the drowsy mercenary team members were awakened by the murderous sound of horses' hooves.

"That's them!" shouted angrily from the shaking figures and firelight on the opposite side, "Surround them!"

Soon, a cavalry team of about 100 people surrounded them, and it was still the white-robed old man who came out of the crowd, but at this moment he no longer had the golden cross in his hand, and he said sharply: "You lowly mercenaries dare to deceive a noble clergy! You are blaspheming and provoking Bishop Leona and the diocese of Cayhair!"

Although the old man was full of anger, the scarface man felt a sigh of relief, as long as the other party was still communicating with him, it meant that there was still room for things to turn around, and it had not reached the worst step.

"Honorable monk, we didn't mean to deceive," Scarface said apologetically, sincerely, "What happened just now was just a misunderstanding, and I will compensate you," he took out the money bag that had been prepared from his waist and handed it to the old man, and said apologetically: "I promise, this bag of coins will definitely not be fake, you can check it." ”

The old man's face was first a little puzzled, then a strange look, and finally he smiled strangely and said, "You mean, the bag of coins I was given just now is fake?"

The Scarface man was stunned and said, "Aren't you here for this?"

"Of course not!" the old man shouted, and even the horses that sat down shook their heads, "We checked the signing files of the crossing, and we didn't find such a mercenary team as you, you are a group of strong gangsters who violate the rules of the diocese!"

The Scarface man immediately thought that the other party's words just now did not involve any words from the Monks' Society, and he suddenly felt cold.

The old man smiled sadly, and said, "Now, you have added two new charges, that is, refusing to pay the levy tax promulgated by the Monks' Society, and contempt for the majesty of the Monks' Society!" he raised his hand with a sinking face. said: "Come on, arrest all these spies of the Dead Council!"

This string of words spat out of the old man's mouth, and the Scarface man's heart sank, and when he heard the last sentence, he was already completely desperate, just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to fight to the death. Someone shouted, "Wait!"

The old man's raised hand did not fall, because he saw Xiao Gu coming over. Judging intuitively from the clothing, this is not a civilian mercenary. It was a nobleman, and the other party's expression was calm, thinking that it was a big deal, and after a moment's hesitation, the old man slowly put his hand down. "Who are you?"

Xiao Gu walked up, but he didn't answer the old man's question. Instead, he asked, "Are you a member of the Monks' Order?"

The old man raised his head proudly and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Gu nodded, he pointed to his chest, and said, "Do you know this?"

A torch moved a little closer, illuminating the badge under the dim firelight, and the old man's face suddenly changed, and said, "Monk Guild Medium Monk Badge?" Immediately after, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and the muscles of his face stiffly tugged at him, and then he pulled the reins. Without saying a word, he turned around and left. The knights also hurried away, looking like that. It seems to be a bit flustered.

Seeing these people leave like a whirlwind, Xiao Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned around, only to find that everyone was looking at him silently.

Only the girl ran up and surrounded him and said excitedly, "You are also a monk of the Monks' Society?"

Before Xiao Gu could speak, the big man walked over, he pulled the girl away with a cold face, and said, "Stay away from them." ”

"Why?" the girl was a little puzzled.

Dahan said something with a sneer.

The girl was stunned, she tried her best to break free from the big man's hand, ran to Xiao Gu, and said loudly: "I ask you, since you are a member of the Monks' Society, why didn't you reveal your identity earlier?"

Xiao Gu didn't know how to answer such a question, so he opened his mouth and didn't say anything

"What?" the girl glared at him, "Are you really having some bad ideas?"

The scar-faced man called out to the girl and said, "Lai'er, don't mess around, come back!" He glanced at Luo Lan and them, walked up to the two, and apologized: "Thank you two for breaking the siege and disturbing you." ”

Although his attitude was very respectful, there was a coldness in it, and the girl's gaze was full of strangeness when she looked at Xiao Gu, although the difference was subtle, but Xiao Gu could feel it.

It's clear that I helped them, but why do I seem to have done something wrong?

Xiao Gu stood for a moment, then he turned to whisper and asked, "My lord, am I doing something wrong?"

Luo Lan was watching coldly from beginning to end, and he chuckled: "Your behavior is normal in my eyes, but in their eyes, it has an ulterior purpose, do you think you did it wrong, or did you do it right?"

Xiao Gu was stunned, he held his head, as if he wanted to figure out this rather brain-consuming matter,

Luo Lan picked up the cross on his chest, pointed to the statue of light on it, and said, "Is he right?"

Xiao Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "Like, yes, right?"

"We try to understand God, we want to be God, but we use human thinking, but we don't know that these are two completely different trajectories, so when you interpret Him, there will be a deviation in the criteria used, and there will be thousands of different thoughts for thousands of people, so which one is right?"

The problem seems to be more complicated, and the ossicles are even more confused.

"In fact, the relationship between human beings is exactly like this, it is always full of contradictions and antagonisms," Luo Lan said slowly: "There is never right and wrong, and there is no absolute truth, if you want others to identify with you, you must hold the right and the sword, then you are the truth, you are justice." ”

Xiao Gu hesitated, "Just like that monk?"

"He, sort of," Luo Lan's faint tone was like talking about a humble reptile, he looked at Xiao Gu, and said slowly: "You don't have to deliberately understand, just be yourself and do what you want, after a long time, you will naturally be able to swim freely in the muddy waters of the world." ”

Xiao Gu nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, my lord, I remembered, the master said, if you don't understand, remember first, and one day you will understand, and do what you need to do in front of you, and don't let them become obstacles that interfere with you." ”

Luo Lan nodded appreciatively and said, "You are very good, you are indeed very smart, but ......" He changed his tone and said, "You made a very serious mistake just now." ”

Xiao Gu's expression tightened, and he said, "What?"

"Each badge of the Monks' Guild has a name and inscription, if the badge does not match the identity of the owner, it is a fake identity, so how can the other party associate it?" Luo Lan shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "It seems that there is a lot of trouble. ”，

Thinking of the frightened look in the old man's eyes as he left, I am afraid anyone could guess what he was thinking.

Xiao Gu suddenly realized that he might have made things bigger and bigger this time......

......
