Chapter 36: The Breaking of the Shackles

"Who!!"

Instinctively, Afra reached for the silk thread around her waist, covered her bag behind her back, and turned to look.

It's that person today! Isn't it already thrown off? Why did he follow?

While Afra was puzzled, she pulled down her cloak to cover her appearance, and stepped on the wall of the alley to escape, but unexpectedly, the other party grabbed her ankle at once, and pulled her out of the air with a hard pull, the other party grabbed her hands, and Aphra couldn't play, so she could only let the man lift her cloak.

"Lori thieves? What a little guy with personality. ”

The man in front of him whistled happily and smiled as if he was not angry.

Afra watched as the other party triumphantly took his bag from her back and put it behind her back again.

"Why steal?" The other party asked.

Afra stubbornly turned her head away from looking at the other party, she couldn't say it, and to say it would be tantamount to betraying the monster and betraying Guy.

The other person held out his hand.

Are you going to be beaten? Afra closed her eyes.

But the next second she felt a hand on top of her head and rub it.

When you open your eyes, the other person looks at you as if you were looking at a rare species.

"Your hair turned out to be blonde! No wonder it looked weird just now, it turned out to be dirty. ”

The young man looked at each other with an appreciative gaze, his eyes a little excited.

"How did you survive in Kas Bay? It's curious. It's a dangerous and violent area, and cute girls shouldn't stay here, what? Are you interested in doing something big with me? With that, he shook hands and stared at Afra expectantly.

This big brother, it's weird, and he's smiling...... It's obscene.

Afra thought with a frown.

The hands that were grabbed by the other party let go, and Afra looked at the other party's outstretched hand, hesitating.

"My name is Felik, what's your name?"

……

"Why hasn't Afra come back yet?"

Sitting on the stone pier, the boar monster grumbled, his little red eyes gurgling, and in his boredom, he got up and paced up and down his house, surrounded by trellises of fine equipment and strange things that he had never seen before, all of which were for sale, but at a mediocre price, and the real value was what Afra had stolen, and those unsightly goods were hidden in the back room, which only the "noble" (rich) guests could buy.

The things that Afra stole back last time were quite valuable, and she had a lot of savings after so long, and it was too tiring to be a scalping merchant, and with this money, she could also take her business to the next level.

For example, as an equipment buyer, you don't have to be lucky enough to find valuable goods, but let others send them to your door for him to appraise.

As he thought so, the tattered curtain of the door was lifted, and a man walked in.

Guest?

The pig-headed monster froze, turned his head to look at the visitor, and was a little surprised to see that the person was a human.

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to buy something." Felik replied.

Then Afra also walked outside and looked at the boar monster with frightened eyes, and the boar monster instantly realized what was happening, and his angry eyes cut at Afra like a sharp knife, and his thick and ugly nostrils spewed and whirred.

He stepped forward and reached out to grab Afra's wrist, and when he picked up his arm, he was about to hit the other party in the face, and even Afra closed her eyes and prepared to suffer the daily slap.

Felik grabbed the boar monster's hand.

"I'm going to buy her, you can't spoil my goods."

"Hmph-" The boar monster roared in a strange long voice, "Get out!" ”

"I already know all about what you've asked Afra to do, are you sure I want to go now?" Felik smiled slyly.

Anger and unwillingness were intertwined in the blood-red eyes of the wild boar monster, he looked at Felik, withdrew his hand, and shouted angrily: "Don't sell! ”

Felik stepped forward and spoke again: "I can give you a good reward, if you are willing to give Afra to me, I can give you a good thing, I can guarantee that this thing is worth more than all the goods in your store combined." ”

With that, he opened his bag to the boar monster and pulled out a smooth black-purple crescent stone from inside.

The boar monster looked at this thing, his little eyes blinking, he didn't believe that this thing was so valuable.

As if reading through the other party's thoughts, Felik spoke again.

"It's not a stone, it's the rotten fangs of a bone dragon, have you heard of it? Slit wounds cannot heal at all except with high-level magic. ”

Bone Dragon's Rotten Fangs!?

Of course, I've heard of this kind of thing, the weapon of choice for assassins, extremely rare, and the only way to get it is to pluck it from the mouth of a bone dragon.

And this kind of powerful creature that lives in the depths of the demon world is something that no one dares to provoke, so this kind of thing has only been rumored to appear, and has never appeared on the market.

If this is really the rotting tooth of the bone dragon, then its value is far greater than the sum of the goods in his store!

Filled with excitement, he asked, "How do I know it's true?" ”

"Do you have an advanced healing scroll in your shop?"

"Yes!"

The boar fart scrambled out of the chamber with his treasure, the scroll that Afra had stolen from a passing elven mage a year earlier.

Felik smiled slightly, and casually slashed the other party's arm, and in an instant the boar monster's face changed, and he felt the powerful toxin comparable to a curse.

The wound instantly blackened, and the blood at the wound turned black, spreading along the veins on the skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Without hesitation, he tore up the scroll and gave him the power of healing, giving him a chance to use advanced healing magic.

Then the wound was healed, and he looked into Felik's eyes, full of awe.

The person who can get this kind of thing and shoot at will is definitely a powerful person, and since the other party has taken a fancy to Afra, it is not impossible to exchange Afra for the teeth of the bone dragon.

"My lord, just do as you say." The boar monster agreed.

"Then give me Guy, too, after all, Afra won't leave without his brother." Felik said.

To be normal, he would never exchange his teeth, mainly because Afra had a younger brother in the other party's hands, so he wanted to exchange with the other party in this way.

The pig's head stepped forward, and the pig's mouth was close to Felik's ear, and said secretly, "Actually, Afra has no brother at all. ”

"No?!"

Felik looked at the other party in shock, and the pig-headed monster smiled smugly, and continued: "Just say that his brother is in your hands, and she will be very obedient, otherwise this little devil will run away." ”

I see, it's a good idea to make up a loved one to restrain Afra.

Felik nodded, put the bone tooth in the boar's hand, and led Afra out of the foul-smelling shop.

Until he walked out of the room, the boar monster didn't cast the same angry gaze as usual.

At this moment, Afra knew that she was free, and an illusory feeling was entrenched in her heart, which seemed so unreal at the moment, that the scene she had dreamed of countless times in her dreams had come true in this wayβ€”she was free.

"What about Guy? Did he tell you where Guy was? Afra asked Felik excitedly.

Felik was silent, and when he reached a dilapidated house with no one in it, he stopped, turned and crouched down in front of Afra.

He touched the other party's head, stared at the other party, and said, "Afra, I want to tell you something. ”

"Is it where Guy is?" Afra looked at each other excitedly.

Felik was expressionless.

"As much as I want you to help me, you have the right to know the truth, so ...... Let's listen to it. ”

……

"No, it's impossible!!"

Afra in front of her roared angrily, her voice broken, so hoarse and desperate.

Her hair was windless, and the air around her was agitated with Afra's angry emotions, and the innate wind power in her body was released wantonly due to the intense emotional fluctuations, and she gradually felt a little out of control.

Afra's eyes were fixed on Felik, and she yelled, as if she had exhausted all the strength in her small body.

"You're lying to me, you don't want Guy to go with me at all! You're the same monster! You're going to take advantage of me too! ”

Felik looked at the out-of-control Afra in front of him expressionlessly, and frowned slightly.

"I didn't lie to you, you don't have a brother at all, Guy was made up by that dead pig's head to control you."

"No way, no way, no way!! Impossible!! ”

Afra clutched her ears and screamed hysterically.

"Come to think of it, have you ever seen Guy?"

"Do you remember Guy's appearance?"

"Have you heard my brother's voice? Do you know him? What kind of people are they? ”

Felik kept asking questions, each of which was impossible for Afra to answer, and the questions were like knives, each of which stabbed Afra in the heart.

Avladou's big tears rolled down his face, and he glared at Felik with hatred and resentment, his bloodshot eyes as if he were about to kill, and his dirty, thin face looked so hideous.

"You're lying, you're lying!!"

A cut appeared in Felik's face, like a sharp, invisible blade, and after the sting, beads of blood oozed from the tiny wound.

"I kid you not, Guy doesn't even exist. You can't live with an illusory imagination, no matter what kind of creature it is, you can't live alone, it's useless to cling to a false imagination. ”

Felik didn't back down, staring at the crazy Afra in front of him without a hint of fear.

"You just want me to go with you, I'm going to go with Guy! I'm not going with you! ”

The wind was even more violent, Felik's clothes were torn, the skin on his body was shallowly torn, and the blood was flying in the wind, stretching and stretching into brilliant blood, he was unmoved, just stared at Afra with a distressed frown.

Suddenly, Felik leaned over and hugged the other party's petite body against the screaming wind.

"I'm sorry, you don't have a brother anymore."

Gradually.

The wind stopped, and Afra's body in her arms stiffened a little.

Pushing Felik away, Afra yelled, "I'm not going with you!" I'm going to find Guy! With that, she jumped onto the house and toward the pig-headed shop.

Watching Afra's figure fade into view, Felik stood motionless for a long time before he spoke.

"You don't have to come with me, you'll be free for a long time."

It was getting dark, and after a short evening was a long night, and Felik sat quietly alone in the deserted, dilapidated house.

He didn't know why he was sitting here, it didn't make sense anymore.

It's just that a strange feeling drives him to wait patiently.

"The little ghost...... I guess I won't be back. ”

In the dark room, Felik's expression was invisible, except for the sigh that was so clear in the quiet air.

The silence was broken by the sound of a slight footstep, and Felik quickly turned to look in the direction from which the sound had come from, and the familiar little figure stood lonely outside the door.

The dim moonlight shone on her, elongating her silhouette and projecting it on the dry sand, the silk thread around her waist reflecting a glimmer in the moonlight.

The bright red liquid slipped off the silk thread and landed on the sand, blooming into roses, tears falling uncontrollably, mixed with the blood of a deceased person and soaked into the sand.

"You...... You are right. Afra choked with tears in her eyes: "Afra has no brother anymore. ”

Before the words fell, the suppressed sorrow in his body erupted like an erupting volcano, and a howling cry resounded in the corner of the unknown ruins of Kas Bay.

An unknown ruin in Kas Bay, next to an unknown dilapidated house.

The little figure cried heartbreakingly, as if she had lost a loved one. The teenager on the side hugged it into his arms, and tears slipped uncontrollably.

It may not be sadness, just empathy......
