Chapter 193: Continuing the Pursuit (Part II)

"Don't worry!" Dole patted his chest and promised, "I'm not going to talk nonsense!" Besides, those guys can't see it! ”

"Huh!" I laughed, "You're talking about them behind your back!" ”

"Don't they say me too?" Dole said, "Say I'm as good as a goblin!" Hmph, every time the goblins make money in the Minotaur Clan, these fools will never notice it! ”

"I also say that people are stupid, and I am not much better!" Leo seemed to be in a better mood, and no longer nervously said that he was going to kill Dole.

"Originally, everyone was looked down upon by the nobles, and they were called back and forth by the priests, but their own people are still like this, not united!" Dole seemed a little indignant, "Look at just now, when we made a fool of ourselves, those guys were also gloating!" Thankfully, you found it in time! ”

"It's all over," I said, "and it's better to work hard and improve yourself than with your companions." ”

"Well said!" Dole said, "I admire you for that!" ”

"Okay," I said, "you just don't practice much, and your strength can't keep up with ......."

"Don't expose people's shortcomings!" Dole scratched his head.

We talked and talked, and approached the house of the fifteenth.

There was still some distance before I heard the little girl Lena crying.

"Something's wrong!" I exclaimed and rushed over.

"What's wrong?" Dole hurried over as well.

"Yesterday's broken horn was there," said Leo, "and it seems to be a vengeance-seeker!" ”

I ran to the door of the fifteenth house, and saw only the kicked and broken door panel and the fifteenth lying in the doorway.

"Daddy—" The little girl's cry came from inside the house.

"Damn it!" I was furious and rushed in.

"Hand over all the money......" Yesterday's broken horn thug was carrying the little girl in one hand and preparing to go out, scolding in a low voice.

When I rushed in, I hadn't finished talking about Broken Corner.

Then he saw me, his face full of astonishment.

"Ahh Broken Horn exclaimed in surprise, "You, why haven't you left yet!" ”

As he spoke, he threw the girl in his hand at me!

"Ahh

Her scream was actually not very loud, after all, her body had just begun to recover, and her voice was weak.

"Be careful!" I hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

The moment the broken horn threw the girl out, it retreated backwards.

I caught the girl carefully, only to hear the sound of a wooden board breaking.

It seems that the broken corner broke the window of the fifteenth's house and ran away.

"Wow!" The girl Lena cried in my arms.

I could only hurriedly comfort her: "Don't cry when you're crying, the bad guys have run away!" ”

"What's going on!" Dole then caught up with me and asked strangely, "Who is this guy, gangster?" ”

When I turned around, I saw Fifteen lying on the ground with blood from the corners of his mouth, and the horns on the top of his head had been broken.

"It's not!" I said, "The gangsters ran away!" ”

"Where? Hurry up and chase it! Dole said.

"Don't worry, he can't run." I said, "Let's deal with this first!" ”

"Wow!" The little girl Lena then spoke, "Dad! Father! Daddy is dead! ”

I put her down carefully and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, we will save your father!" ”

"This little girl, she really can't speak!" Leo said.

I ignored him.

After examining Fifteen's injuries, I found that he had only suffered external injuries and was temporarily unconscious.

"What's going on?" Dole asked, "This is the person you're looking for?" ”

"Yes," I said, "I don't think I should have just walked away yesterday......"

"Hey, have you noticed, this broken horn thug likes to break other people's horns......" Leo said, "It seems that he can't see other people's physical integrity, and his psychology is really dark enough......"

"I'll settle accounts with them later." I say.

"Are you badly hurt?" Dole said.

The girl kept crying.

"Little sister, don't cry, don't cry!" Dole hurriedly said, "Uncle is here to help you!" ”

I lifted Number 15 up and carried him back into the house.

Dole was coaxing the little girl to the side.

I had the herbs with me, but I couldn't take them out in front of Dole, so I had to put a healing spell on Fifteen and go out to find the herbs.

By the time I returned, the little girl was already asleep crying.

"Why is this kid so weak?" Dole asked.

"It's a troll wizard's voodoo doll," I said, "this kid has been absorbed by the voodoo doll with a lot of life energy, and I didn't let it go yesterday." ”

"I see...... Dole's eyes widened, "it's evil witchcraft......"

While lighting the fire and boiling the medicine, I asked, "Have you been exposed to dark elemental energy?" ”

"Nope." Dole said, "It's the kind of thing that neither the Raging Warriors nor the Temple Priests will touch." ”

"But somebody will touch it." I said, "This is what I'm going to investigate!" ”

"So, that troll wizard really has some problems." Dole said, "I don't think those troll merchants are telling the truth!" ”

"Just now I said that people were not suspicious, and now they have changed their words?" Leo said.

"Maybe they just haven't been exposed to it," I said, "after all, ordinary people are too poor to sense these energies, and it's normal not to know it." ”

"It's a ...... thing," said Dole, "it was just a forbidden drug, but now it's even dark energy!" By the way, this matter, that one, that strong man doesn't care? ”

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't that in charge?" Leo said, "Well, you lied to him and said that this is the test he gave you!" ”

"That's, he's left me to find out on my own," I said, "sort of, a test for me." ”

"Got it!" Dole said, "Only actual combat can improve strength!" But the troll wizard is gone! ”

"So I'm just checking his whereabouts......" I said.

"Well, where I need help...... Hehe, I'm afraid I can't help you casually, otherwise, what if that strong man is unhappy? Dole said.

"No, I'd be glad if you could help," Leo said, "especially if you need cannon fodder and experiments!" ”

"What bad ideas are you playing again?" I say.

"Haha, just kidding...... Leo said with a grin.

It didn't take long for the herbs to boil, and I took them to Fifteen to drink, while Dole stayed there to cook.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've cooked by myself." Dole said, "The house is all done by women......

"Didn't you do the escort mission?" I say.

"That's different...... said Dole, "it was in the presence of companions and priests. ”

"What's the difference?" I gave the fifteenth a little cooler, "Food is the same for everyone, and it doesn't change taste and effect depending on status. ”

"But the identity of the person who makes and the person who eats is not the same after all." Dole said.

At this time, the fifteenth woke up.

"You...... Saved me again. He said weakly.

"It just so happened." I say.

"That's right!" His eyes widened sharply and he exclaimed in a low voice, "Rena! ”

"Just lying there," I said, "it's all right." ”

Fifteen turned his head sideways and saw his sleeping daughter, squinting his eyes relaxedly.

"I knew I should have kept him yesterday!" I say.

"It's useless," said Fifteen, "they want me to disappear and stop fighting, but I won't do anything else but ...... this."

"If you can participate in gladiatorial fights, why don't you become a hunter?" Dole came over at this time to join in the fun.

"Huh?" Fifteen looked at Dole a little strangely, and then, his face changed, and he shouted in a low voice, "Guard, Guardian Warrior!" ”

"Do you recognize me?" "It's strange that people in the slums recognize me in civilian clothes!" ”

"I've seen you over there in the Colosseum, you're ......" Fifteen looked at Dole, then turned to me and said in even more surprise, "Are you too...... Ah, I should have thought of it a long time ago! ”

Then, he smiled and shook his head.

"Don't be afraid, the Guardian Warrior is not a bad person." Dole said.

"I'm not afraid of ......," said Fifteen, "it's just strange how a little person like me could have something to do with someone as high as your guardian warrior." ”

"It's not a bad thing," I said, "it's just that I'll save your life." ”

"But I can't afford it......" said Fifteen, "not only my life, but also Lingna's life." ”

"Who wants you to pay it back?" I said, "If the Guardians need to take care of these things at every turn, how many people in Thunder City can't afford it?" Is he not alive? ”

"They are them, and I am me," said Fifteen, "at least my principles are to be returned." ”

"There's nothing you can pay back now," I said, "and what you should do is to heal your daughter from her illness and raise her to adulthood." ”

"That's why I'm so embarrassed." Fifteen said, "But I've got to do everything I can, right?" About the people you are looking for......"

"Didn't you say that yesterday?" I say.

"I have something new that Lena told me later," said Fifteen, "and something I didn't remember yesterday." ”

"Exactly, tell me," I said, "so that you don't owe me anything!" ”

"I don't know how much money I have for this information," said Fifteen, "for free!" ”

"Then you can say a little more about the forbidden drugs," said Dole, "and that's exactly what we need." ”

Fifteen looked at my expression and nodded.

"Lena told me that the troll wizard had indeed been here and asked her about a dry well," said Fifteen, "and the dry well is nearby......

I hurriedly stood up.

"It......'s already landfilled," said Fifteen, "and it's said to be connected to the underground labyrinth, and when the troll wizard came, it was already blocked, and he didn't catch anything." ”
