"Forget it, let's go."
sprinkled a lot of it, even I myself was inexplicable, what did they say, such a stage-style line.
These guys are not children, and the concepts formed after decades of experience can be changed in a few words, these words, just talk, whether they can listen to it or not, it depends on themselves.
With a stop, the ice-blue pseudo-realm suddenly retracted, and the five adventurers stood up straight as if they had been amnestied, as if they had suddenly encountered some powerful monster, and subconsciously gathered together, and the gaze cast over them couldn't tell what it meant.
As he walked, Olick slowed down and landed last, and when he looked back, his gaze was full of incomprehensible complexity.
"Just let them go?"
Jeluka, the only one who was not affected by the pseudo-realm, curled her lips angrily, and watched the five figures disappear.
"What else do you want?"
I looked back at her depressedly, this yellow maid is really very resentful, not good, I have come all the way, it seems that I have provoked her many times, should it all be recorded by her in the little yellow book, I plan to settle the account slowly in the future.
"It's really boring, at least we have to beat them into meteors, and leave a trick line like [What a nasty feeling~~] in the starry sky."
"You've read too many knight novels, so go back and brainwash."
He put his hand on the long purple hair, rubbed it around, and then his eyes fell on the other people.
The annoying child Peak and several of his subordinates, as well as his father and several other big men, had already foamed at the mouth and fainted to the ground when the pseudo-realm appeared, this is still because I deliberately controlled the coercive effect of the pseudo-realm, otherwise, how could ordinary people bear it.
It's hard to do, these guys, if you let them go, it feels too cheap, but if you want to do something, you really can't think of a way, just like a person who can't think of how to punish them a little without hurting the ants.
"That's right."
Snap your fingers slightly.
"These guys, keep them on the record, and prohibit them from having the right to change jobs and otherwise have power."
I pointed to Peak and a few of his men in the ground one by one, and commanded.
"Yes, Elder, do as you command."
A black shadow shrouded in black robes came out of the shadows in the corner, and his cold gaze quickly glanced at the ground, saluted gently, and disappeared into the shadows again.
As I expected, if something like this happens, someone from the alliance should come over to check it out.
The Peaks, who were still foaming at the mouth and fainting on the ground, had no idea that they had been sentenced to an alternative cruel punishment, and they would never be able to live as a civilian or even below in their lives, and they would never have the chance to become anything else.
Personally, I think that this is not actually a punishment, but just a judgment in advance, and if such a vicious little kid is allowed to become an adventurer in the future, or a nobleman and other people with power and power, it will be a real disaster.
"It's so harsh, it's tantamount to completely depriving them of their future."
Seeing this scene on the side, Jieluka couldn't help but fight a cold war, ordinary people may not be able to imagine the true weight of those words just now, but Jieluka, who has extraordinary judgment ability, knows what it represents, those few simple conversations, it means that from now on, as long as these people want to do something bigger, no matter how hard they try, the result will be a failure, such as making a lot of money, such as becoming a nobleman - even if it is to obtain the lowest title among nobles, let alone become an adventurer, Maybe you can't even be a blacksmith with a slightly higher status than ordinary people.
Don't doubt whether the alliance has the ability to do this, although the current internal policy of the alliance is to be gentle and indulgent, rarely intervene in the management between the country and the city, and focus on resisting the hell clan, unless there is something big, such as the Lu Gaoin incident back then, it will intervene, but please never doubt that at least in the human realm, the alliance has absolute power.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Jeluka's eyes fell on the children lying on the ground, although the disgust in her heart was even worse, but she still felt deeply shocked to know that the future of these people had been deprived in a few words, and that they could only live a mediocre life at most.
"Really? I think this is for their good, if they can live a down-to-earth life in the future, good life, it is not impossible to get happiness, kind I have helped them choose some of the simplest and most simple future, whether they can seize happiness, it depends on themselves. ”
"Liar."
As a result, my kindness was denied by the word Jeroka.
"No, I have a pastor's certificate."
Nose snort, I'll be a magic stick...... Ahem, it is the book of priests held high, and he realizes that his current tall and glorious image is somewhat similar to the free [beep] god who holds the little yellow book in one hand and holds up the self-heating vibrating [beep] stick in the other.
I think that at the beginning, it was with this certificate that we were abducted in Lugao...... Ahem, no, it's wrong, it's that moved Siruth and Echolu, bought their two precious daughters, and at the same time made them set great priesthood ambitions.
"The Big Liar"
Jieluka, who has a very firm tone, seems to have become the captain of the anti-pornography and anti-counterfeiting team, if this is the case, shouldn't she first lock up herself as a maid of Huang Duanzi, and work hard to reform her awkward personality and Huang Duanzi attributes?
"Say whatever you want."
I rolled my eyes and looked at the corpses strewn across the ground, and the aloft Priest's Book sprinkled a white light to heal the little kids who had been kicked by Jeluka.
Anyway, they've already been punished.,Forget it.,If these guys can reform in the future.,It's not that I can't consider removing the punishment.,Although I think the probability is very low.,Just look at the virtues of the fathers they brought.。
"By the way, are you alright?"
Turning back to see the emaciated child cowering in the corner, I crouched down and smiled as kindly as I could.
Although he had tried his or her best to avoid the pressure caused by the pseudo-realm just now, the child seemed to be more scared than at the beginning when something went wrong.
"Didn't you get hurt? Let me see, hey, that's it. ”
Sensing the other party's fear, I didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and directly threw a powerful reduced version of the healing technique, there is a disease to cure the disease, and there is no disease to strengthen the body, well, it would be better if it could have a cleaning function, after looking at the child's long unkempt and dirty hair, black face and body like black charcoal, and tattered clothes, I thought a little greedily in my heart.
Remembering what Peak's bad kids said when they bullied him or her, Black Charcoal ...... Even I have to admit that seeing this image, it is really difficult for those naughty children not to give him (her) such a nickname.
The soft white healing light warmed the other party's body, and it seemed to relax the other party's vigilance slightly, after the white light, the child who was cowering in the corner raised his head slightly, and secretly glanced at this side through the touch of his or her bangs with his (her) squinting eyes that made people feel sad and sad.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway, let's send you back, it would be bad if you ran into bad people on the way."
Pick up the gold coins that had fallen to the ground and stuff them back into the child's skinny palm, I said.
Silently, looking at this side with emotionless eyes, in the end, the other party nodded helplessly and accepted this kind of kindness that could not be refused.
In the surprised eyes of passers-by, Jieluka and I walked with the child left and right, looking at the reaction along the way, he (she) should be a little well-known here, of course, I know with my toes, this is definitely a negative popularity, after all, even if I am a beggar, I have never seen such an unconventional black carbon image.
Twists and turns, the scenery on the side of our road gradually turned into a dirty alley, the road is full of potholes, littered with gravel, the walls are also blackened by carbon, most of the passers-by who shuttle through the alleys are the same as the children walking with their heads down in front of them, and their bodies are full of black traces after mining and pulling carbon, of course, there is absolutely no such dirty mess as a child, he (she) looks like this, no matter where he goes, it is a sign, the messy and greasy hair, even if it has not been washed for ten years, there will not be many doubts.
This is supposed to be the commoners of the Demon Fortress, or the poor class, and it is also the home of the diggers who occupy the largest proportion of the population, the Demon Fortress is known as the hometown of blacksmiths, in addition to the dwarves living here, rich mineral sources, and even the best forging place with the molten slurry in the center of the earth as the furnace, and these diggers who have been working day and night in the depths of the mine are absolutely inseparable.
Originally, Jeluka and I thought that the child's home was nearby, but the big deal was that it was in the deepest part, the dirtiest and most dilapidated place, and there was a place for him (her) to perch.
Hurricanes at a height of several thousand meters, whirring in the ears, under the feet is a black abyss, as far as the eye can see, even those towering mines, in the line of sight, are just a small bulging dirt bags, not to mention ordinary people, even adventurers, if it is the first time to see, there will be a sense of dizziness in the sky.
This should be a rare ghost place in the human world, but at this time it is a surge of people, at least hundreds of people are standing on the edge of the cliff, after looking at it for a while, we finally understand that these people, are through guò pulleys, will be under the basket of ore and coal under the demon fortress, this is a full height of several thousand meters, it is necessary to pull up like this, and these are usually weak civilians in the eyes of adventurers, this scene is really shocking.
Later, I learned that in order to have a sufficient supply of ore and coal every day, the blacksmiths hired mages to set some simple magic on these baskets to reduce weight, and at the same time used their advantages as blacksmiths to create this pulley system, and the people below could easily lift a basket of ore or coal weighing hundreds of kilograms as long as they kept turning the rocker.
Of course, having said that, in any case, the height of a few thousand meters cannot be changed by guò magic or the skill of a blacksmith, and it still takes a lot of effort to lift a basket of materials.
As Jeruka and I stared blankly at the hot scene in front of us, the child pointed to the empty basket that had been hoisted up, and then walked up and jumped into the basket.
We immediately understood what he or she meant, and we had to go down through the guò basket.
As Jeruka and I walked up, the workers around us immediately dispersed, and looked at them in awe, for they probably hadn't seen any adventurer come to such an insulated place.
Want to go in?
Looking at the layer of black pasty, thick toner sticking to the inner wall of the basket, jumping into it and coming out again, at least it will be dyed half black, and Jeluka and I hesitated.
The child is also hesitating, because if it goes on like this, you must turn the pulley yourself, of course others will not help you for free, he (she) often goes up and down, and is used to it, but if there are two more adults in it, the weight will immediately increase, and the strength is enough, this is indeed a problem, it is impossible to let the distinguished adventurer turn the pulley himself.
Of course, the result after hesitation is that the three of them don't have to hesitate, it's just a few kilometers at a height, and we have played with the bear cannon at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
So, in the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, I came to the edge of the cliff, as if I was walking on flat ground, taking the next step in the most natural way, and then falling headlong.
With a whoosh, this guy Jeruka actually took my arm and hitched a ride.
Unless it is a mage profession, it is generally only possible to fly at the domain level, the moon wolf is more special, even if it can't fly, with its own ability, it can ignore any height, and Jieluka can't, if she jumps down with her own strength, she will definitely fall into disgrace.
Forget it, since there is one more drag oil bottle, I don't care about adding another one.
After falling a few hundred meters, I suddenly jumped out of thin air, re-emerged from the top of the cliff, appeared in the eyes of the workers who had not yet recovered from their stupor, and picked up the emaciated child who was also looking at me in a daze.
"Ah...... Ahh————h
Probably, this was the loudest voice he or she had ever shouted in his or her life, and in short, accompanied by this series of screams, the three of them landed without danger under the stunned gaze of the workers at the bottom of the cliff.
What, these guys, one by one, their eyes were as if they were seeing the Martians coming, and I glanced at the stunned workers around me with dissatisfaction, and they all used the upgraded version of the monster-like gaze, panicked and retreated, which was even more unpleasant.
Forget it, I lowered my head and glanced at the child who was still clutched to his waist, his mouth wide open but no longer able to make a sound.
"It's already down, are you alright?"
shouted five times before he (she) reacted and quickly let go, but when he was playing stupid jumping just now, his legs, which were already weak with fright, betrayed him (her) at this time, jumped down, and one did not stand firmly, and she sat on the ground with her ass.
Although it was only for a very short moment, I still saw that from those squinted eyes, flashed the excitement of a child when he encountered something new, although this mood, which perhaps even the owner himself was not aware of, really only lasted for a little time.
"Hug ...... I'm sorry. ”
Seeing that there was a large obvious black stain on the cloak that had been held, the child opened his mouth, lowered his head for doing something wrong, and let out a stiff and crisp apology from his dry lips.
"It's okay, let's keep walking."
I waved my hand disapprovingly, well, anyway, there is Jieluka to help me wash, what is the personal maid for? It's definitely not to talk about yellow jokes on the side, laundry, cooking, warming beds and other jobs are my job.
Sorry, there seems to be some strange words mixed in, please ignore it.
As a result, such thoughts seemed to be seen through, and Jeluka glared at her back angrily.
After walking for about half an hour under the guidance of the children, we came to the foot of a mine, and then, we saw each other bow their heads and bend down, into a small hole less than two meters deep and less than half a meter high, and drill into it, like a bird returning to its nest, making a slight sound of relief, and then poking out half of the messy head from under the stone, and looking at our feet with humble and timid eyes, as if to say, look, this is my home.
“……”
Although he had expected that since he had come to such a place, his or her home should be a simple place such as a small cave at the foot of the mine for convenience.
However, the sight of this one, which was less than two meters deep and half a meter high, and which was not even a cave, looked like a hollow formed by digging out a rather large stone, with some hay in it, and the only thing that was the only thing to do was a tattered cotton jacket that was as dirty as its owner.
What is this, even the kennel is several times better.
The gaze of the child peeking out from under the stone, dodging and dodging, glancing at his feet from time to time, the subconscious fear and rejection of the stranger is like giving us an eviction order, okay, send it too, you should go.
I stayed for a moment, instinctively took a few steps to the side, looked up and down a few times, took out my sword, and with a few clicks, dug a small hole nearby that looked more like a human habit, thanks to the much larger ice cave that had been dug with the guy in Harlogas, so the finished product was also in good shape.
Glancing over there, I thought the other party would be full of joy to accept this new home, but after seeing a cave suddenly next to it, he (she) panicked out of it, picked up the stones and soil just dug up, and tried to fill in the hole.
"What's wrong, don't like it?" I was puzzled.
Shake your head, shake your head.
After hesitating for a while, with the panic and fear of rejecting my kindness, he or she explained in tears.
"It's too big, it's cold......"
After a pause, he hesitantly added.
"Great...... will be snatched away. ”
While explaining, after laboriously filling in the hole, he or she burrowed back into his or her nest, let out a reassuring breath, and poked his gaze out again, as if to say, Ah, go away, don't trouble me again.
In desperation, Jeluka and I had no choice but to leave.
"Is there no way?"
On the way back, Jeluka, who had been surprisingly silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.
"Probably not, as those people said, I can protect him for a while, but I can't protect him for a lifetime, the best way is to let him have his own strength, but look at that body, I'm afraid it won't work......"
"Let him go to the Mage Guild and do some chores and other things, even if it's a kennel there, it's better than now."
Jerouka stared at me tightly, as if to say, you, the elder of the alliance, can't do such a trivial matter.
"It's not that I didn't think of this solution, it's just that you didn't see his eyes."
Subconsciously narrowing my eyes, I sighed.
"What those eyes convey is to reject the gaze of the whole world, he locks himself in his own world, immersed in a person's world, it seems to have become an instinct, because of timidity and fear, he is even a little addicted to such an environment, if you want to help him, at the very least, we have to break his barrier to the outside world."
Speaking of which, Jeluka was also silent.
It's not that I don't want to continue to help, it's just that my and Jeluka's respective identities are not allowed to be casual, and there are more important tasks waiting for us.
"Everyone has their own way of survival, everything we can do has been done, the future depends on his own creation, good, don't be sad, it's a big deal I'll sacrifice a little tonight, tell a few stories to lull you to sleep."
I understand that the child's situation and personality are somewhat similar to her, the same abandoned by her parents, the same cowardly, but Jeluka is countless times lucky, she met Artoria and was valued by Jalanderan.
"Do you want to tell a ** story again, sexually harassing your maid before going to bed? Speaking of which, why do I wake up every morning to find that all the clothes I was wearing have been stripped off and thrown aside, pressed under His Royal Highness the Prince, who is also naked? ”
"Don't talk about it, it seems that there is such a thing, you stupid yolk maid" I flipped the table angrily.
"There's a weird feeling down there."
"Shut up, shut up, if someone else hears it and really misunderstands, I beg you, Lord Jeroka, can you change the subject? Let's talk about the weather today. Why don't you talk about the previous things, for example, when I was in the alley, when I was surrounded by those Olick guys, don't you think that my appearance at that time, and the words I spoke, were all super cool and majestic? ”
"Hey, I do have such an idea, to be honest, I was fascinated by His Royal Highness the Prince at that time, maybe I have to raise some evaluations."
"Oh, what do you think?"
"Your Royal Highness, the super cool perverted ** Beast Prince, what do you think?"
"It's so small, so small, don't you think that in the later insulting titles, it's super cool and quite pitiful? It's super cool and didn't do anything wrong, why treat it like this, give me a good stand out of it, bastard
"So...... Perverted super cool ** His Royal Highness the Prince of Beasts. ”
"It's true that it's super cool, but it's subtle and unpleasant."
"Trouble, it's better to just call it a pervert."
"Hey, don't leave out the most important things, don't just leave the irrelevant part of the complaint, do you want to say that my body is actually a complaint, bastard
“……”
Although I don't know if Jeluka's mood is better, at least the atmosphere has returned to the previous pattern - it is still the damn spit and the ginseng that was spit on.
Early the next morning, in the Simba Hotel, a sudden excitement in my sleep suddenly made a roll, and the next moment, a huge hammer fell on the position where I had just fallen asleep.
"His Royal Highness's reaction power is really terrifying, and I, Jieluka, am convinced."
Jeluka, who was holding the murder weapon in her hand, gave me a thumbs up in admiration.
"Where, it's average, ahahaha-"
When I was praised like this by Jeluka, who rarely praises people, I immediately grabbed my head and laughed proudly.
"Do you think you can fool you with a slap on the back like this?"
The next moment, my roar echoed over the entire Simba Hotel.
"Tell me, what's the matter with waking me up early in the morning?"
With a bewildered yawn, I got dressed, took the cloak that Jeluka handed over while covering her red forehead with teary eyes, and draped it over my body.
"Actually, it's like this, the tracking wizard is done."
"What? Selson, the reborn demon, has reappeared? ”
Hearing the words "Tracking Magician", the shape of the copycat Dragon Ball [Beep] Da subconsciously appeared in my mind, and then the remnant of the regeneration demon Selson also appeared.
"Selsen didn't show up, but an even more terrifying fool appeared," Jeluka's face became solemn and heavy.
"Where, where?" I panicked and pulled out my sword.
"Here."
Poof, who let out a can't help laughing, pointed straight at his white index finger.
With a "snap", the maid of Huang Duanzi hugged her forehead and squatted down again with teary eyes.
"So, the tracking wizard that can find the crystal fragments is done." In the end, Jeroka obediently told the truth.
"Where? Let me see. ”
I was amazed, the elves were known for their magic, and if this thing could be put to use, the next task would be easy......
Eh~~~ Double, they're all about to start, I don't have a monthly pass-Aixin (9) Luo. Xiao Qi's melancholy
