Chapter 56: Hello, Kia (5)
Essho withdrew the scalpel from the blazing coal-fire, and on it was a muscular wingtip, charred by the moderate heat, and the golden fat flowed incessantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He took a hard bite, and the rich aroma of the meat pulsed briskly in his taste buds.
When the huge white bird of prey swooped in from the night, its wings cutting through the air like blades, both Kia and Schneider were startled. Only Eshy glanced at it calmly, and then stepped in front of Schneider, and at some point there was a torn curtain in his hand, and he grabbed it in one hand. Then with a single force, it broke its neck. Before Kia's hand even dropped the hilt of his sword, the feathers of the attacking giant bird had been plucked out by Eshy.
"You really don't eat it?" Eshua turned to look at Kia.
Kia looked up from the pile of blood-stained white feathers and glared at Eshy, "I didn't pull you to the Royal Hospital to make you a cook!" What if another Assassin comes after that? He buried his head in the bones of the bird of prey that had been dismantled by Estheu, and muttered to himself, "Why haven't you seen this bird in a book?" It looks like a silver king pigeon, but its size and habits are close to that of a calamity. Could it be the product of hybridization? ”
"Do you still want to think about it?" Lying on the bed, Schneider sneered, "The Silver King Pigeon is Sarion's military carrier pigeon, and the Doom Raven has always been the pet of the Heresy higher-ups. When the two come together, you must have already come to a conclusion, right? He looked greedily at the roasted wings in Eshy's hand, "Boy, leave me a piece." ”
Estheu ignored him, and used a scalpel to rip out another piece of breast meat and passed it to the fireplace. "I'm a mercenary, and there's a charge to be a bodyguard."
Without hesitation, Kia pointed at Schneider: "Look for him to go, he has money!" ”
Before Eshua could speak, Schneider was already howling like a bankrupt scoundrel: "Why? He was invited by you, not me! If you don't have money, take it if you want it! ”
Essho couldn't help laughing, this president of the Sarion Chamber of Commerce was really not an ordinary pick, but also cunning and cunning. He shook his head: "He has a point, after all, you dragged me over." Esher pointed to his injured arm, hinting vaguely, "What if it's a strong enemy?" ”
Kia snorted angrily, and also played a scoundrel: "I understand, so what do you want?" I'm just the second son of the Elf family, and I can't take out tens of thousands of dinars at every turn. Besides, if Dante and his sister weren't busy with the internal affairs of the Inquisition, I would have looked for you? It's still the same sentence, if you don't want money, you have to die! ”
The muscles in Schneider's face twitched comically, and he seemed to want to laugh out loud, ignoring the danger of the wound cracking. Eshua directly grabbed a calming ointment and stuffed it into his mouth. Schneider didn't expect Essho to suddenly move on him, struggled a few times, and fell asleep because of the effect of the tranquilizing ointment.
"Then it's your life." Eshyus's next answer made Kia almost draw his sword, "Don't you want to be an adventurer?" How about working under me? ”
Kea's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, and he froze for a few seconds, but Essius's unmistakable eyes made it clear that it was not a joke. Anger and humiliation gradually filled Kia's chest, and he clenched his teeth tightly, as if to burst out of his teeth with red-hot rage word by word: "You are dreaming! ”
"Then I'm leaving, and I wish you a nice night ahead." Essho put the greasy-stained scalpel back on the desk.
"Stop!" Kia drew his sword, "You dare to leave—"
His words came to an abrupt halt, for the moment he drew his sword, he had already tricked into his side like a predatory cheetah, and the scalpel was re-grasped in his hand, and the cold, sharp blade against Kia's neck could slit his throat with a single force. Kia didn't even see Eshy's movements clearly, all he saw in his eyes was a ghostly figure flickering in the firelight of the fireplace, and the next moment Eshu and the greasy scalpel were already in front of Kia.
"Because I don't want to be wanted by both the Empire and Sarion in the days to come, I don't dare kill you. But if I'm leaving, you can't stop me. Eshy's calm voice rang in Kia's ears, as cold as the night wind. And you also said that if you don't want money, you have to die. If you don't give me money and your life, what do you want? Viscount? ”
"Hmph, it's really good." Schneider turned his head, apparently remembering the unpleasant memories of being subdued by Eshy for a second.
Kia tilted his head, a chill on his neck that cleared his mind a little. It was the first time he had seen Eshu make a move, and the moment of the storm was like a volcanic eruption, and the oppressive force it brought to him even reminded him of Scolerú, who easily slaughtered Marions' heavy cavalry on the plains of Callindern! He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and said his compromise: "For a month, if you dare me to do anything to tarnish my honor, even if I can't escape from your palm, I will fight with you." ”
"One year." Eschu put down the scalpel, "A month is too short. What can you see? ”
"Listen to your tone to show me the world?" Kia stroked his neck, frightened, but his tone was not good, "Then you listen, my purpose as an adventurer is just to understand the essence of Pande." I don't want to be a mercenary who licks blood from the knife all day long! ”
