I didn't finish my sentence, Harold didn't ask me what to say next, and we smiled intriguingly at each other." 『(8)Ω(1)Chinese』 ８⒈

The girl was also scared enough, but it was even more difficult for her to resist the food, and the long starvation made her feel that being able to eat a full meal was more important than living.

She was frightened and trembling, staring at me and Harold with frightened eyes, and she kept stuffing vegetables into her mouth, and her cheeks bulged like hamsters storing grain.

A puff of vegetable juice ran down the corner of her mouth, and I picked up the spare handkerchief on the table and reached over to wipe her.

She stopped chewing in horror, desperately swallowed the food in her mouth, and looked desperately at my approaching hand, and finally closed her eyes.

I know she's scared, but this is just the beginning, and in this jungle of the jungle and the wind, things like today will happen again, and it won't be just once.

Gently wiping the juice from the corner of her mouth, I put the handkerchief aside and watched her look of difficulty as she thought she was going to die.

After a while, her eyes opened a thin slit, looked at me slightly, and then, stretched out a pair of dirty little hands, and kept touching her head and neck.

"Where did you pick up this little girl?" Harold asked me with a smile as he watched her movements.

"She has a bit of a relationship with me, and she didn't pick it up."

"What are you going to do with her?" Harold asked again, "A girl like this, even if it is, she won't pay a good price." ”

"What do you say?" I was a little displeased: "I am not her master, she is not my slave, our status is equal, how can we do such a crazy thing as buying people!" ”

Harold sighed, "I understand what you say, but this is Ari City...... I think you know a little bit about it. ”

I nodded, looking a little solemn.

Ari City is not as democratic and just as Dasai City, let alone as selfless and free as Moonlight City, it is full of violence and greed, and human abduction and forced prostitution happen all the time, but I rarely encounter it.

A girl like this, eleven or twelve years old, with no survival skills and no shelter, has no way to survive for a long time in this cruel Ari City.

I looked at the girl next to me with a little worry, she was still eating without a heart, and the juice was dripping from the corners of her mouth again.

"Little fool," I muttered, and picked up the handkerchief again, wiping the juice from the corner of her mouth, only this time, instead of being afraid, she sat quietly, and when I wiped the corners of her mouth and chin, she devoured it again.

After eating for a while, the dishes that were originally enough for the three of them to eat were enough for her to eat by herself.

Satisfied, she patted her little belly, she burped, looked at me with a pair of big clear eyes, and the fear in her eyes disappeared at this moment.

This is...... The power of food?

Does food create trust?

I shook my head, I didn't know much about the world of snacks.

I said to a guy hiding in the back kitchen: "Come on, settle the bill!" ”

The waiter who served me came cautiously after being forcibly pushed out, and I said, "How much?" ”

"Eight, Eight Silver Coins......"

He took out the bag of silver coins from his bosom, poured out his bag, counted them, and counted fourteen silver coins, and folded them on the table, saying, "Let the remaining six silver coins be your tip." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, your lord!"

The waiter who greeted us nodded and sent us out the door.

With the corpse in one hand and the head in the other, I chose a closed path and turned in the direction of the city gate.

Harold and I walked side by side, and the little girl followed closely behind me.

When I reached the city gate, I turned to the back of a mound of earth, which was a deep pit full of garbage and corpses, and it was a common gathering point for these things in Ari City.

A foul smell emanated from the bottom of the pit and irritated our noses.

The little girl's face became very ugly, she retched several times, but in the end she still did not vomit out a stomach of food, I don't think she can vomit, more like she is reluctant to vomit.

I threw the body and the head down, wiped my hands, and turned back.

Harold frowned and asked, "I see how well you move, how much have you done this kind of thing?" ”

I spread my hands: "Who knows, I don't remember exactly." ”

Harold was horrified.

Instead of going anywhere else, we went straight to the Valiant Guild and went to Harold's office to talk.

When I walked through the gate, I met two adventurers I knew again, and today they were on duty to guard the door, nodding and flattering words were absolutely indispensable, and when I saw the dirty little girl always tugging at the corner of my clothes, and I didn't care, the two of them also bloomed a flattering smile at the little girl, and almost called her an adult.

When I entered the office, I found a chair and sat down, and the little girl sat timidly on the ground next to my chair, and when I saw this, I couldn't laugh or cry, so I picked her up, put her in another chair, and sat down again.

Glancing at the girl who was sitting still, I said, "Harold, you're from Rodney's side, right?" ”

Harold was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "How do you see that?" ”

"It's very simple," I said: "The city lord of Eri City has only three sons, and the eldest is said to be a brutal person, good at martial arts, easy to kill, and possessive, but unfortunately the talent in martial arts is average, and the strength is also very weak, if you are from his side, Eri City is likely to become a terrifying place where everyone is in danger." ”

"As for the second child, he has always been good at playing yin, never playing cards positively, first of all, it is inconsistent with your character, and secondly, it is said that he is very vindictive, and I, have had a holiday with him, so that he will never let his own people have any softness towards me, let alone after my blatant killing, I will ignore my behavior as if it were the Internet."

Then, I concluded, "Then you're all Rodney is a man." ”

Harold shook his head and said, "But you have overlooked one point, I may also be the city lord's person." ”

"The lord of the city will eventually grow old, and the new lord is the key to your continued survival of the guild," I said, "You won't watch the guild you've worked so hard to build go down the drain." ”

Harold was silent.

His head was so low that his face was even parallel to his desk, and he couldn't see his eyes or expression.
