Chapter 23: The Happiness of the Rich
"Liar?" Levi was stunned, slightly stunned.
He and Pasquere didn't know each other very well, but they could also feel that with each other's personalities, they would never speak ill of each other easily.
Marlowe was not angry when he heard this, he still smiled brightly: "Pasquere, how can you say that you are also a colleague, it's not good for you to say this......"
"Colleagues, former colleagues, I've long since quit the Thirteenth Demon Hunting Squad. Pasquere's expression was cold, his tone was cold, and he said unceremoniously, "Also, I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"
Marlowe didn't answer, just smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders with a look of being wronged.
"Levi, don't believe him. Pasquere snorted coldly and admonished, "A warrior's heart contract is his self-knowledge, which is often his creed, while his heart contract is 'fraud'. ”
"Fraud?" Levi was stunned, his expression puzzled.
"This gentleman, I am afraid it is unfair to judge a person's character by his heart!" Marlowe did not speak, and Hans could not help it, and retorted, "Moreover, what is the big deal with those evil and inhuman heresies, and use some deceptive means?"
"It is reasonable to deceive the enemy. Pasquere glanced at Marlowe and asked in a cold tone, "But isn't it okay to deceive your own people?"
Hans was asked, he was a newcomer, he couldn't figure out the cause and effect, and he couldn't defend himself.
Marlowe still only smiled wryly, and did not say a word of justification.
It seems that between these two, there are some secrets that cannot be said......
Li Wei watched coldly, and said secretly in his heart.
However, he is not a nosy person, and has no interest in the feud between the two, only caring about how much he can get paid.
......
"Levi, remember, the first rule of the Demon Hunting Code, 'Never give your back to an unreliable person'. It wasn't until he saw Marlowe leave that Pasquere turned his head and carefully advised, "If you have the idea of hunting heresy, you can apply for a new demon hunting team, and I can introduce you to the members, who are absolutely honest and reliable." Michelle is good, and my brother Vincent ......"
"Stop, please stop. Levi listened to this, and hurriedly interrupted the other party, half-jokingly, "Hunting heretics? That terrible life is not for me, I am just a layman, and I am only interested in one thing at the moment." ”
"What's that?" Pasquere froze.
Levi smiled, stretched out his right hand, and placed his thumb between his index and middle fingers in a back and forth twisting motion.
"You, you......" Pasquere couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and the gloom in his heart dissipated a lot.
......
After sending Levi away, Michelle leaned over at the right time and put one hand on Pasquere's shoulder.
"Whew~~" She spit out a snow-white smoke ring, her expression was pleasant, her eyes were misty but puzzled, and she said in a unique smoke voice, "Pasquere, do you want to reorganize a demon hunting team?" I think about it, you definitely don't have time yourself, you want me to lead the team? Hey, your brother Vincent is just that, why do I have to bring Levi's burden?"
"It's not you who takes him, it's he who takes you. Pasquere shook his head and corrected.
"What?" said Michelle, like a fur-fried wildcat, his eyebrows furrowed, "I'll admit, he's a little clever, and his spells barely catch his eye...... But don't think that if you can go back and forth with the 'plague', you will have strength, as long as I am willing, a mouthful of dragon breath will turn him into coke!"
"First of all, I can tell that the out-of-order puppet has extremely strong elemental resistance, and just one bite of dragon breath really can't kill him. Secondly, you don't have to be strong to be a good demon hunter captain," Pasquere didn't care, nodded his forehead and said, "The most important thing is this!"
"You say I'm brainless?" Michelle was mistaken, and immediately became furious, her hair churning like flames, and a red spark appeared in her snort.
"That's not what I meant," Pasquere shook his head, "you're smart and gifted in magic, but your intellect is spent on magic, and maybe part of it in spells, but indifferent to anything else. Of course, it's not just you, the vast majority of people at the top of the dawn have this problem, such as Alice next to you......"
"That's true. After listening to this, Michelle's face looked a little better.
"Other than that, you have other problems. Pasquere's words also smacked of admonition, "You are very emotional, and you lack observation, you are easily deceived and emotionally out of control, and you are not the material to be a leader." ”
Michelle opened her mouth, she wanted to refute, but Pasquere's assessment was so pertinent that she couldn't argue with it.
What's more, she remembered the scene of being deceived by the old man.
"What about Levi? That kid is a qualified leader?" Still, Michelle was not convinced.
She is indeed emotional, she does not hide her emotions, and "dissatisfaction" is written on her face.
"Don't you accept it, then look at this!" Pasquere tossed a roll of parchment and tossed it to Michelle.
"What is this?" said Michelle, holding up his hand.
"It's the full report of the 'Pendulum Loft Incident,' which I just got from the little guy named Hans. Pasquere's expression was solemn and a little appreciative, "Levi's calm mind, reaction speed and reasoning level are different from ordinary people, not at all like a young child, but like a veteran detective. I'm sure with a little training he'll make a pretty good witcher. ”
"Isn't it stealing...... Michelle pouted, muttered, and began to read the report.
After a moment, she looked up at Pasquere, her face shocked.
Pasquere nodded: "The whole story of this murder, let alone you and me, even senior witchers can rarely deduce it." ”
"This kid is really a little clever......" Michelle said with difficulty.
She is still only willing to use "clever" to describe the other party, but deep down, she has actually changed a lot.
"However, you look at him like that, he has no sense of honor or responsibility, how can he be willing to take on such a responsibility?" Michelle frowned, pointing out the key issue.
"He didn't want to, but he probably had to. Pasquere suddenly smiled, meaningfully.
"Must?" wondered, looking at the other with questioning eyes.
"Do you remember Caesar once said that there is a kind of person in this world who is born to attract evil, and will be accompanied by bad luck in his life, and he can't hide from it?" Pasquere said with a smile.
"Is that what kind of 'Conan physique' is? That's just a legend!" Michelle blinked, his face full of confusion, "Even if he really has this kind of physique, how do you know it's him?"
"Intuition. Pasqueremo rubbed his chin and added, "A man's intuition." ”
Michelle rolled her eyes: the wizard's intuition is just that, what the hell is the man's intuition?
......
In front of the crystal painting wall, Levi's waist was straight, his eyes slowly swept over the lines of magical words, and his mind was full of thoughts, calculating, considering, analyzing, and summarizing little by little, and determining the course of his choice.
He's been paid.
The reward of the Demon Hunter Guild was four gold coins, the "Unstable Activated Magnetic Storm" was exchanged for seven gold coins, and the "Out-of-Order Golem" was assessed as seventh rank, and its value was a qualitative leap, which was exchanged for thirty-three gold coins in one go!
His wallet was bulging, and Levi's waist was stiffened, and he was no longer satisfied with the "Introduction to the Circle", but focused on more optional courses.
He was finally able to experience the luxury of the so-called "holding a white-flour steamed bun in his hand, wanting to dip it in white sugar, wanting to dip it in white sugar, and wanting to dip it in brown sugar and dip it in brown sugar".
However, after weighing it repeatedly for more than ten minutes, it was still difficult for Li Wei to make a choice, and finally had to decide, "put aside the controversy" for the time being, and slowly choose again in the future.
After all, he got rich overnight, and his "consumption concept" couldn't turn around for a while, and he was a little childish.
"This is called a thrifty housekeeper......" Levi flicked his sleeves and pretended to sigh, "Alas, the happiness of rich people is often so unpretentious and boring. ”
......
In the evening, the Scarlet Moon was in the sky.
Pendulum loft.
Holding his pregnant belly high, Blaise staggered through the door, a loud burp that made his freckles jump with satisfaction.
"Are you a ghoul, how come you act like you've never eaten?" Levi followed him, his expression helpless, "How many days have you been hungry?"
Since you have made a windfall, according to the rules, it is inevitable to invite guests to dinner.
Levi thought that he only had one friend, Blaize, and the cost would not be too much. He never expected that in terms of the amount of food, this kid can play better than Ip Man, one top ten, and deeply interprets what it means to "support the wall in and out of the wall".
"Where do you think I got the money to go to the opera? It's all frugal, it's from between my teeth!" Blaise burped again, his eyes wandering around, and he thought, "After this meal, I'll be able to tighten my belt for a few days." ”
"You're not afraid of getting stomach problems......"
Looking at this guy who attaches great importance to spiritual civilization and is better than filling his stomach, Li Wei was speechless and followed into the door.
"Huh?"
As soon as he entered the door, a pungent smell of inferior incense hit his face, making Levi frown, and his index finger crossed his nose to resist the biochemical attack.
He has a keen sense of smell and is extremely sensitive to smells, especially the pungent taste, and is so smoked that he almost sheds tears.
"Mrs. Dafu, what does this smell like?" Levi said, covering his nose and raising his voice, "It's too pungent......
"It's incense. Mrs. Dafu came out and said embarrassedly, "Since that incident, there has been a lingering smell of blood in the attic, so I have made some incense to cover it up, so as not to make the guest uncomfortable." ”
Can't you make some good incense? My delicate nose can't stand this kind of devastation!
Levi complained secretly, but only nodded and did not speak.
In the face of a poor old woman who lost her son and widow, he really couldn't say anything serious.
When Levi and Blaise went upstairs, Mrs. Dafu had a strange look on her face, and she quickly flashed into the room and closed the door. At this moment, she moved quickly, her hands and feet were powerful, and her movements did not look like an old lady at all.
As soon as the door opened, the board on the stone platform in the room was faintly revealed, and a bloody butcher's knife was inserted on the board, and blood was flowing down the blade, drop after drop.
