Such an apology existed until the next second the man spoke.

The brown-haired girl Lottie pursed her lips, she didn't dare to look back at her uncle at all now, she just looked at Qiu Xuan in front of her. The girl, who stood alone in Alec Yamamoto's house, looked a little thin, and her eyes were lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking, but compared to the somewhat aggressive Kukin, she looked like a poor person who had been bullied.

Lottie couldn't bear it after all, she smbabbed for a while, tentatively trying to persuade her uncle to see if she could raise the price a little more, and then she heard the "poor man" speak in the next second.

She said, "Oh, then I won't sell it, I like defective products." ”

Kukin: "......? ”

Kukin's expression was distorted for a moment, but he finally restrained himself and asked patiently. "Didn't we all negotiate the price before, how can we say that if we don't sell, we won't sell? You can also use this defective product, didn't you hear what I just said, it's very evil! You're going to die because of it! ”

Qiu Xuan: "Death is like the wind, always with me." ”

“…… Are you kidding me! Kujin suddenly got up from his chair, and he had never been so emotionally intense except when he began to notice something wrong with the umbrella. I don't care who you are, but you have to know who the place you are standing at your feet belongs to, and you will pay the price for going against the House of Alec Mountain! ”

"What is not to be done." Qiu Xuan waved at him and also stood up from his chair. She lifted her foot and walked towards Koukin's position, a hand slamming in front of her, which belonged to Lottie.

"It's not a deal, it's just a deal that hasn't been negotiated." Qiu Xuan didn't seem to see the hand, and walked straight to Kujin's position in the same direction. "I've heard that you're also a businessman, so it's not uncommon for a deal like this to be put on hold. Why is it that when it comes to me, it becomes a price for me now? Bullying honest people? ”

"You're a honest man!"

Before Kukin's anger could be fully grounded, he saw the figure in front of him, which seemed to be walking slowly, disappear in place in an instant. The only two Alex in the living room were startled, and Lottie backhanded the sword he wore on the knight's sculpture and slashed at his intuition.

The blow missed, because the man's target was not at all towards Kukin, who had not yet reacted, but at the bone umbrella on the table behind him.

"Stop her for me!"

The slightly messy footsteps outside the door sounded, the familiar sound of thick-soled military boots slamming on the ground, apparently from the Knights of Alec's exclusive bodyguards.

In the next second, several human figures with stiff bodies and smooth movements suddenly appeared in the air, and people were shocked by the identities of these "people" who appeared out of thin air, but they didn't notice that one of them took advantage of the chaos to leave the crowded hospitality hall in a blink of an eye.

……

Qiu Xuan put the umbrella into the space and walked on the road empty-handed. She still has a little stock of the Tooth Fairy puppets in her hand, and the only problem is that although there are a lot of them, they are all ordinary people who don't have any special abilities, and at most they can be scary and scary.

And now, there is still a day and a half left before the one-month deadline for the forced deportation to Osser.

During this time, the problem of money was not as tight as when he first arrived, in addition to the fixed daily salary of the Gemma family, Tom's underground blood trade was also thriving.

And there is also good news that Qiu Xuan has just won a ticket to the gluttony contest on a C-level beam. If nothing else, relying on Xiaolu's cheating to win that game smoothly, then he can continue to stay in Zall City for a month, and he doesn't have to go to Osser's ghost place for the time being.

This idea lasted until a second before she walked into the second floor of the underground black market.

"What's wrong?"

Smelling the familiar smell of blood in the air, Qiu Xuan was still wondering if Tom and they were doing business here just now, but he paused abruptly the next second when he turned around and walked in.

That blood is not the blood of the trade, but from one's own people.

Qin Jiuyuan's blood.

Tom was dancing next to him and directing something, and the next second his squatting position was suddenly pushed out of the way. The black merchant frowned and was about to get angry, but he stopped the moment he saw the comer.

"I'll go to a therapist."

Qiu Xuan squeezed Tom's position away, and the moment he saw the wound clearly, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around and wanted to leave. The next moment, the black merchant who was pulled by someone and sat on a chair with a bandage on his chest sighed and said, "I'm fine, the bleeding has stopped." ”

Across Qin Jiuyuan's chest, it looked like a knife cut, which was slashed horizontally and forcefully. The appearance of the wound is very hideous and scary, but when you calm down, you will find that it does not hurt the vital point except that the blood is flowing a little more.

It's just that for an ordinary "aborigine" with this level of knife cut, there will be at least a month of recovery period.

"How?"

After confirming that the blood was no longer seeping out, Qiu Xuan squatted down again, frowning at the person sitting on the ground with his legs bent. Then he took a moment to turn his head and glare at Tom, "Why don't you give someone something?" Isn't it cool to sit directly on the ground like this? ”

Tom: "You're in trouble...... Well, my bad. ”

Qin Jiuyuan coughed, "That, I'm not cold." ”

He wrapped the last knot of the bandage himself, coughed a few more times, and pulled a card out of his pocket.

The familiar black background with a fly print, the back is a dark red with a flesh color, and Qiu Xuan also has a card in his pocket at this moment.

"You're going to the Gluttony Contest ticket distribution selection?" She looked at Qin Jiuyuan in disbelief, "Why, you don't have to go to the beam to eat, and your business is in Zhuoer City!" ”

In fact, the majority of all the people in Drow City who participated in the selection for the Gluttony Contest were indigenous civilians. The reason is simple, because only one winner of a match will be able to return to Drow City, and the rest will be thrown directly to Otsayr. Unless you take out twenty bottles of wine at once in exchange for a chance to return to Drow.

Therefore, for a considerable number of wealthy businessmen, especially all the large and small merchants whose net worth and business are in Drow City, and the aborigines who have iron rice bowls, they generally do not choose to participate in the Gluttony Competition.

Of course, there are also some people who do not go to the beam to eat, but for a special experience similar to an experience.

The representative of these people is the brown-haired girl Lottie of the Alec Hill family, and the purpose of her participation in the Gluttony Contest is probably just that. Before setting off, the elders of such a family will often prepare a large number of supplies and weapons in advance to ensure that the juniors of the family can successfully complete the mission from a ghost place like Oselle and come back alive.

But Qin Jiuyuan, he obviously didn't belong to either of these two categories of people. He wasn't so hungry that he couldn't eat, so he went the same everywhere, and he didn't have a special family training mission to complete, so why didn't he want to go to some hellish entrance audition.

"I ...... I just want to go and see the world. ”

Qiu Xuan sneered, "Do you think I look like the world?" ”

Qin Jiuyuan: "......"

The bandaged black merchant sat on the ground and hesitated for some time, he originally thought that this was not a very important topic, so he tried to change the topic by silence to get by, but after being silent for a while, he found that it did not have any practical effect, so he sighed deeply.

"I don't know why you're going to try for the Gluttony Contest."

In the end, Qin Jiuyuan said.

"If you're short of money, you can take it from me...... Borrow, I can lend you money. If you're hungry, I still have a little food here, but I want to...... Since you choose to participate, you must have your own reasons. ”

“……”

The black merchant's expression seemed to be a little hesitant for a moment, and he said:

"But I'm a little scared."

For a moment, Qiu Xuan almost felt that there was something wrong with her ears. Can you believe it? The word "afraid" comes out of the mouth of the person. This person has always been saying to himself, "There's nothing to be afraid of, little girl," but now he's saying "scared."

When Qin Jiuyuan said that word, Qiu Xuan knew what he wanted to express, but it was because he knew that he couldn't say half a sentence at this moment.

She remembered the story of the beast.

Originally, the beasts in the forest did not have the emotion of "fear", not only fear, but also the vast majority of human senses in the general sense.

It wasn't until later that I felt "lonely" because of the long time spent day after day, and I felt "bored" because of the natural lack of empathy and the "pride" of being born beyond all things. Later, the beast learned for the first time from one of its ribs, from "man", a series of sensory emotions such as "happy", "sad", "sad", etc., but this does not mean that this is the emotion it can possess.

It is just "learning", or "imitating", and if you want to use an analogy, it is like a parrot learning to speak. It mimics the behavioral senses of "people" in order to achieve a brief self-deceptive resonance.

But the beast is destined to have no empathy.

- "Beasts" are destined to have no empathy.

Qiu Xuan lowered her eyelashes and looked at the seemingly calm person in front of her, that person's behavior and demeanor carried a bit of the market and ruffian that belonged to the identity model of this world's "black market merchant", but it seemed that the appearance of meeting for the first time had never changed.

This dead silence lasted for a while, and Tom, who was still standing on the sidelines, began to look at them with strange eyes as to what kind of performance art they were engaged in. After a while, Qiu Xuan said in a hoarse voice: "But are you stupid?" We didn't play on the same crossbar, and it was not the same place to be sent to Oser at that time. ”

"I can find you."

"I can find you too."

The black marketeer was stunned for a moment, then smiled purely and rarely, without any sarcasm, "Good. ”

It's still a day and a half away.

It's still too late.

What Qiu Xuan needed to do now was to put the finishing touches on her journey to Oselle, in addition to the twenty bottles of wine she had ordered with Qin Jiuyuan—she didn't have to put her own five cups of blood now that she had money—and the source of the food.

The only source of food in the hairless ghost place on the other side of the beam is her own kind, if it weren't for the necessity, Qiu Xuan would still not be very good at that bite, and any food-related things could not be stored in the accompanying space, she could only consider hiding it on her body and bringing it in.

The best option is a kind of bread that is popular among manual laborers in the ground market and can quickly fill the stomach. This kind of cake is mixed with various beans, wheat husks and a large amount of dry soil ground into flour and then processed and pressed, pressed very firmly, a piece on the body can hold the amount of a meal.

The average value of a loaf of bread in the merchant of the earth is between two and five denarii, depending on which merchant you meet.

Qiu Xuan had eaten it once before, and it was very unpalatable, but in terms of satiety, it was much better than ordinary barley porridge.

The food can be solved by this mixture, and the water is not to be thought about for the time being, it occupies a large area and cannot be brought to Osir. With twenty bottles of wine on your back in advance, and all kinds of food and water, walking in Oser is a moving target.

Those who are hungry and crazy have reached the point where they can eat a living person at the sight of a living person, and you can imagine the consequences if you walk inside with these things.

Qiu Xuan took out a bag from the pile of rags in his space, which was the broken bag he carried everywhere he walked when he had not entered the desperate situation to activate the accompanying space. She carried it on her back, and symbolically placed two bottles of wine and two or three pieces of mixed bread in it.

At that time, this bag will be a live target, ready to be discarded at any time. Of course, it can also be used as a bait for law enforcement.

She took a moment to prepare everything she could think of, and then took the time to go to Gemma's house and briefly talk to her "allies" about the situation.

Qiu Xuan didn't say anything about resigning, but said that she wanted to apply for leave for something in the next period of time, ranging from a few days to a few months.

The reason for this kind of bastard is that other hired members have already been directly called by the steward Penny and thrown out, that is, Qiu Xuan's previous too good cooperation attitude and Beelzebub's attitude that has been a mystery so far made Penny simply turn a blind eye. allowed her to take a vacation, and warned her openly and secretly, and that night Qiu Xuan shamelessly received the day's salary from the finance, packed up everything and left Jima's house.

This month's gluttony contest still started on time, and Qiu Xuan, who had been hungry all night, came to the entrance arch of the grade C beam on his admission ticket a little early.
