Chapter 25: The Story of the Past

"That's what got you to your destination, Brother Yi. Okay, it's almost time to say goodbye. ”

After sending the three of them ashore, the ship was still being replenished and repaired, and Ou Li had already said goodbye first.

"Just in such a hurry to say goodbye to me? Are you in a hurry? Such an interesting place, don't you go in to see it, just repair the boat and leave? Yu Yi couldn't help asking. The surrounding boatmen will look at the few people here from time to time, after all, there should not be a ship entering the port at the left gate of the current today, but this ship has just entered the port from the left gate with a swagger, which makes people have to wonder about the origin of these guys.

"What can I do in a hurry? There's nothing new to me about any kind of place. Besides, I don't like to join in the fun. Ou Li smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, don't worry about me, let's concentrate on sending your elf home first." Actually, I just want to stay away from you, so as not to get into any trouble. ”

Yu Yi smiled, and just wanted to refute it, but someone abruptly joined the conversation.

"Is it really not going to stay a little longer? It's a lot of fun in this city, didn't you say we don't have a lot of money? You might even be able to make a splash in the casinos here! "This time it was Lilith who spoke, and as for her suggestion, it was obviously cobbled together so that she could hide in the Seven Arches for a few days.

However, what no one expected was that her words made Ollie's face suddenly gloomy, and he glanced back at the priest's face. "Shut your mouth and don't let it keep saying stupid things. You love going to that disgusting place, don't you? Then get out of here, have fun! ”

It was quiet for more than ten seconds before the people present came back to their senses, but the thief, who had always been pleasant-looking, suddenly became angry today, which made people a little unresponsive for a while. What's more, before that, his conversation with Yu Yi was still as usual, and everything happened without warning.

The first to react was Lilith, who was angry at her, and after staring at her deed owner for a few seconds, tears began to roll in her eyes. She clenched her fists aggrievedly and bit her lip, as if she was enduring something, but finally she couldn't help but cry out loud when the tears rolled down, sobbing and sobbing intermittently: "Aesop...... It's a big badass, and I don't want it anymore...... Ignore you! ”

After calming down a little, Ollie was about to reach forward, but the little priest had already wiped his tears and ran towards the city. Due to the embarrassing scene, Yu Yi and the others even forgot to stop the sad little girl for a while, and when they remembered, the long double ponytail had disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey! Aesop, what did you take the wrong medicine today? At this time, only Zolsander asked what he thought most happily, because he was the most surprised person, and he saw the words and plans of the deed master to the little girl in the past, "That ghost girl just wants to play here for a few days, and you don't know that she has such a little hobby, as for such a big reaction?" ”

In the face of such questioning, Ou Li could only be silent. Although his mind is no longer as hot as before, the complicated emotions in his heart for a while still make him not know how to answer.

"If you decide to leave right away, sail your own boat. I'm going to go buy some wine now," said Zolsand, "and go find that little girl." With that, the one-armed man was already walking in the direction the pastor had left.

Among the remaining four, Bai Siling and Ying sensibly took the black dog and walked away, leaving the space to the deed owner and the thief. After all, now it seems that only the two of them will be able to talk properly.

"Still saying it's okay? It's exposed, right? Yu Yi turned his head and looked at the calm sea in the harbor, "There are only two reasons why he suddenly became so angry when he was retained by a few words. Or, you have something urgent to do and don't want to waste time here, eh...... It doesn't seem to be. ”

He paused, then continued, "Either that, you hate this place and want to leave as soon as possible...... But the fact that you were able to send me here shows that you can't stand the whole city of the Arch of the Seven Gods, perhaps, just some of it that disgusts you. I thought, where would it be? Casino? ”

"Alright, Brother Yi," Ollie reacted as if someone had just been pricked with a needle, "let's go find Lilith." I was too impulsive just now, and I'll apologize to her. ”

"That's enough, and I won't ask much else. Let's go. With that, the two of them walked one after the other, and walked to Bai Siling and Ying, who were waiting for them on the side.

After walking in, Yu Yi noticed that today's black enough dog seemed to be particularly excited: "What's wrong with it?" Did someone feed it raw fish again? "After a few days on the boat, they also discovered this problem with the black dog.

"Lilith, she likes to secretly feed your dog." At this time, Ou Li replied with some lack of strength.

Yu Yi smacked his lips, turned his head to the two women, and said, "It's more efficient to split up, you two in a group, two of us in a group, if you haven't found anyone in the evening, let's go back here and gather." As for the little girl...... You just follow us, you have eaten so many things from other people, and now you can behave well. ”

Ying and Bai Siling nodded, and without any nonsense, they obeyed the arrangement of the deed owner, and took the lead towards the street.

"Brother Yi, it's still your hero who is obedient, my two guys...... Is. Ou Li said with a long sigh.

", you're the problem, right?" Yu Yi reminded, then patted his head again and remembered: "Yes, if you don't want to say it, I won't mention it." ”

In this way, the two of them took a black dog and walked slowly into the noisy city.

Compared to the backwoods of Wildfire City, the city is too wealthy. This can be seen from the ordinary pedestrians who come and go on the street. Not to mention the spiritual outlook of their good life, although there are many pedestrians of all kinds, it is difficult to find people with similar clothes among them.

This is rare to see in Wildfire City, except for those explorers who are equipped with different equipment, and the clothing styles worn by civilians are simply handful. Only those who have money, or some status, can wear more personalized clothing.

Although it is a rich city, there is no place where there are no poor people. After all, there is wealth only when there is poverty.

"Two ...... Two or two gentlemen, come ...... Come and get a newspaper, the city is ...... these days There are a lot of ...... in the city Something interesting! ”

A child in his early teens, wearing an octagonal hat, jumped into the path of the two, pulled out a thick piece of thick paper and stammered.

"Okay, give you the money." Yu Yi handed over a gold coin and took back the newspaper. It was the first time he'd seen anything like this in a game, but even newspapers weren't very common in the first world, and few people except for a few nostalgic people would have chosen such an ancient way to get information.

"First...... Mr. Xian, you give ...... Give a lot! Wife...... Too much! The little boy caught up with a cloth bag full of newspapers in one hand and a gold coin in the other.

"Okay, then you can give me change." Yu Yi stopped and said. He didn't mind the change, anyway, he gave the boy a gold coin, and it wasn't out of any mercy. It was simply because all the scattered money was on Bai Siling, and when he saw the newspaper for the first time today, he threw off a gold coin on a whim. But this stammering little newsboy who doesn't like to take advantage of him does make him quite fond of him.

However, when it comes to change, the little boy who stammers seems a little embarrassed, which makes him even more difficult to speak: "I, me, I...... I don't have enough ...... Enough money to find, uh...... Find you...... "A newspaper is just a few copper coins, and one gold coin is enough to buy all the newspapers in his hand." "Otherwise, I'...... I ...... all the newspapers Or, you...... You still put the ...... Roll back the newspaper...... Give it back to me. ”

"Alright, let's take the gold coins and buy a decent outfit." Yu Yi pressed the other party's octagonal hat with his hand, and as he spoke, he swept the child's old leather shoes that were about to wear out, "This money is just the newspaper money I paid in advance, and don't forget to give me a newspaper when you see me in the future." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, thank you, thank you......" It was only when he said this that the little boy's words sounded a little more coherent. Until Yu Yi and the two had already walked away, he was still bowing respectfully and thanking their backs in place.

When Ou Li turned around and could no longer see the newsboy behind him, he spoke: "When I used to study, the Chinese teacher always liked to say something good every day, but now it seems to make sense. I finally know, Brother Yi, where did you kidnap a group of heroes who broke cattle before? ”

"That's not a Chinese teacher, you should be a teacher of thought and morality who believes in Buddhism, right?" Yu Yi, who was looking down at the newspaper, teased without raising his head, "What do you mean by that?" ”

The thief was in a better mood at this point, and chuckled, "The next time you meet that newsboy, you'll know what it means." ”

"What kind of amazing hero?" Yu Yi is not stupid, "Okay, you kid, don't give me spoilers here." But speaking of which, the Drow Sander and the little priest you are currently contracted with were recruited from their previous memories, right? Do you think back to the time when you played this game in your last life, didn't you have any unintentional contact with someone like me? ”

Ou Li explained: "Brother Yi, didn't I say it, I'm afraid of changing the main track too much...... So, apart from the fact that the Ignorant fearlessly recruited Drow Sander at the beginning, I didn't dare to contact other heroes who deserved their masters. ”

"And where did you come from, that rotten priest?" Yu Yi asked.

"She? She's what you said, the cow person I had unintentionally come into contact with in my last life. After sparing a circle, I didn't expect the topic to return to Lilith who had fled, but this time when it came to her, Ollie no longer avoided talking about it as before. Actually, before she made a contract with me, I didn't know that she was such a good pastor, and I should say that no one knew about it at all. In this life, she and the previous life are completely different people. ”

"It's kind of interesting, that's all for it, don't you mind talking about it next?" Yu Yi turned his head and asked while following the black dog leading the way in front of him.

"In my last life, I met her in a casino. That's right, she was still a teenage girl at the time. However, at that time, she was not a pure and immaculate priest, on the contrary, she was a fallen angel in the mire. Immersed in the smoky filth all day long, she can do whatever it takes to live. To cheat, to steal, or safest, to undress.

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to her, but I would glance at her without noticing. I have to admit that I do think she is the most beautiful girl in the casino, but because of her age, I have always despised the winners who chose her, after all, they were only children.

"Maybe it's psychological, I always feel like I'm going to win when I see her the first time I look up. Once, when I looked up, I saw her, and the ghost girl in the dress happened to see me, and her beautiful smile was unforgettable, and I put all my chips on it, and I made a fortune. Guess how many? 100 Coins!

"Yes, in your opinion, this is only enough to buy 100 newspapers, but for me, who was an ordinary player at the time, and I didn't have much ability, it was already a huge amount of money. But I've already paid a lot of price for winning this time, and with 100 gold coins, I'm ready to retire......

"But maybe it was because I won so much money for the first time, so I was also deluded, forgot what morals and ethics, and resolutely took her away. ...... that night"

Speaking of this, Yu Yi's gaze, as an observer, has completely changed: "Okay, you well-dressed beast, those details can be omitted." ”

"Brother, you think too much, that day, I just felt that I had just taken off my clothes and slept beautifully. This night, I lost half of my possessions...... Yes, of course it was stolen by the hateful female thief. For that, I kind of remember her.

"Luckily, I still have half of the money left, so I still have a chance to win back the 50 gold coins that were stolen. So I continued to sit down at the table and started a new round of struggle...... Maybe because of the girl's disappearance, my winning trick was also gone, and soon, in addition to losing all 50 gold coins, I also owed a lot of debt...... At that time, I was not as good as a dog, and I was so cold that I couldn't even kill those stray dogs in the cold streets......

"Just as I was dying, someone dropped a gold coin in front of me. It's her, that damn thief! But I didn't have the strength to settle accounts with her, so I took the money and walked into the casino...... It's not to pay off the debt, but to win back what belongs to me...... Five minutes later, I was on the corner again......

"The next day, about that time again. Here she came again, and there was another gold coin on the ground. I'm not polite, because that's what she owes me......

"Day 3, Day 4, Day 5...... A week passed before I noticed that her face had lost its former look

On the eighth day, she was long late. But in the end, it appeared, but this time there were no gold coins, and she fell in front of me, and she was going to die......"
