Chapter 167: Mercenary Dillon
Dillon has always considered himself just an ordinary person.
At most, his body is better than ordinary people, he has more experience than ordinary people, he kills more people than ordinary people, and he suffers more injuries than ordinary people, but other than that, he is not much different from any ordinary person.
He has always thought so.
After the death of his parents, he and his younger brother fell into poverty, and in order to earn money to take care of his younger brother, the seventeen-year-old resolutely chose to join a mercenary group that passed through their town.
For this, the mercenary group gave his brother a sum of money that was not small for him at the time.
Since then, he has been licking blood from the knife.
Race against time, race against life.
He took on all kinds of bizarre tasks, from assassinating dignitaries to hitting cats next time he went up to a tree.
He has also killed countless bad people, or good people.
Countless times he was in danger, and he escaped the pursuit of death countless times.
Undoubtedly, he was lucky.
In recent months, he has achieved his goal of owning 100 gold coins.
With such a huge amount of money, he no longer needs to do this kind of work of tying his head around his waist.
In addition, at his current age of 37, his physical function has been declining continuously, and it is no longer as good as when he was young.
If you don't retire, you may not have a chance in the future.
He knows it well.
In the past 10 years, the blood of his youth has already become extremely cold, and there is no good or evil in his heart, only money and interests.
The only thing he cared about was his younger brother Cook, who had been staying in his hometown.
After sending a letter to his brother, Dillon packed up everything and cut off the mercenary world from him, and rushed back to his real home, La Town, alone.
Although he has been home a few times in the middle, it has been a few years ago, and he still misses his younger brother Cook who he hasn't seen for many years.
Just as he was looking forward to his future life, he returned to the town of Rila and heard bad news about his brother.
It shattered his heart in an instant.
Seeing Cook, who was lying in bed and in a coma, he was a little overwhelmed.
Dillon learned from the words of Cook's wife, Deria, that Cook, who had received his letter a few weeks earlier, was overjoyed and had prepared a gift to surprise his brother.
As a result, who would have thought that Cook suddenly fell into a coma a few days ago, without any warning.
If it weren't for the ability to subconsciously eat and lose food in his mouth, I'm afraid he would have starved to death a long time ago.
With many years of experience as a mercenary, Dillon knows or understands some common diseases or incurable diseases.
However, he did not find any similar symptoms to his brother's abnormality.
"This ...... Absolutely not normal. ”
Dillon's years of crisis sensibilities have given him this feeling.
After several days of investigation, he had not heard of a similar illness of his younger brother in the town, which made him have some terrible suspicions in his heart.
Dillon knew that if it turned out to be what he thought, then his brother had no chance of recovery.
"Dillon, if it goes on like this, Cook won't be able to hold on for long."
Delia said with a sad expression.
Looking at Delia, who was sitting in front of Cook's bed with a sad face, Dillon touched the gold coin in his arms, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
He has now accomplished his goal.
With a full 100 gold coins, this is money that most people will never earn in their lifetime.
But in the face of the serious illness of his only brother and only relative, these shiny things have no effect.
At this moment, he even secretly regretted why he had left this town, why did he have to earn these 100 gold coins to return?
If I had been living with my brother, or if I had come back earlier, would it have been different?
"Dillon, why don't I ask Pastor Gray to try it out?" Delia rubbed her red eyes and asked tentatively.
After hearing this, Dillon's originally confused eyes flashed a trace of fierceness.
In the few days since he returned, he has heard much about Pastor Gray.
Pastor Gray, whose Church of Light is said to believe in the only true God of the world.
At the same time, Pastor Gray is also the first person in this world to be favored by the true gods, and he controls the magic of God and has great abilities.
In addition, he also has a pampered and benevolent heart, and at the same time, he also has a face that even women are jealous of.
All of these comments show that the priest, Gray, was an extremely powerful man with a perfect personality.
But it was this kind of person who had all positive evaluations, and no negative evaluations of the task, that made Dillon feel unrealistic.
For Dillon, who is often on the verge of life and death, there is no such thing as a perfect person in this world.
In addition, Dillon never believed in buildings such as churches.
After all, in the countries he has been mixed in, there are a large number of churches, but nine times out of ten they are just institutions that rely on fooling the common people to gain profits.
It's just a church with extraordinary abilities, but it's just the work of the dark power, and it has nothing to do with the gods.
Those who believe in the true God, or are favored by the true God, after his investigation, find that they are nothing more than a group of liars acting from beginning to end, and none of them can stand up to scrutiny.
He also thinks the same thing about the Church of Light and Pastor Green.
Dillon never thought that his luck would be so good, that a priest who had never appeared in the world before, who was favored by the true God, would just happen to appear in his town.
This is impossible.
So that's why when Deria asked to find Pastor Gray to treat Cook two days ago, he didn't hesitate to refuse.
But as he got to know more and more about Pastor Gray during the two days of investigation, his inner insistence also wavered.
"What if...... Is this true? ”
He didn't just want to.
His younger brother Cook can't stand him looking for other solutions, and if he can't solve this strange situation as soon as possible, his last relative in this world will definitely leave him.
Burst!
Dillon quickly turned and walked straight to the door, then stopped.
Just when Delia thought that he disagreed, and her face was desperate.
Dillon whispered, "I'm going to ask Pastor Gray to come over." ”
With that, he walked out and closed the door to his room.
Remembering where the church was in his mind, he touched the dagger hidden at his waist and walked calmly forward.
