Chapter 12: Tree Bottom Village 3
"Forgive me, I have no ill will towards an innocent girl. "Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Clinos, "as long as you don't do anything to us." ”
Eunice smiled and said, "If I wanted to ask you about the Staff of Truth, you wouldn't be standing here." The poisonous incense in the air can bring you down when you speak, but of course I didn't. ”
"If you did, you wouldn't be standing here. Clinos said, giving Eunice a look behind his back.
Everyone realized that Serena was already squatting on the wall shelf and ready to go. The moon dagger, slightly unsheathed in her hand, shimmered and sheathed before Eunice could turn around.
"Has she been following you?" asked Eunice, surprised.
"I didn't have time to be his bodyguard, I was looking for a connector in the village to 'defrost (sell stolen goods)'. As a result, I received his magic sentinel and said that there was a place where someone could buy my sapphire. Serena said, throwing out a crumpled mass of paper that appeared to have been ripped from the old notebooks.
"Miss Eunice, you can buy your gem. "Please don't take it as a threat, we just need some gold to continue our adventure," said Klinos. ”
"I can't help but see it as a threat. A stranger broke into my shop, pointed out my weakness, and offered to buy me a gem that I didn't know was genuine, what Mr. Clinos would call that behavior. Eunice said.
"I would treat it as a fun game, and the best option at this point is to abandon the son. Klinos said.
"Mr. Klinos seems to be well versed in this cruel game. ”
Abner and Abel stood aside, not knowing what was going on.
"If I were really cruel, I could have killed you and taken your gold. Klinos retorted.
"One robber can send a village into a panic, but someone like you is enough to panic the entire empire. ”
"After the greetings, let's take a look at the goods. Serena tossed the sapphire to Eunice: "500 gold coins, no bargain." ”
Eunice played with the gem and looked at it, "I thought it was going to be a robbery, but this lady gave a fair price." I'll give you 600 gold, as long as you don't bother me anymore. ”
"Deal. Klinos said.
Eunice breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Klinos quickly pull out his wand and cast a spell on herself, and immediately froze there. Only the others saw that the back of Eunice's neck was less than ten centimeters from Serena's dagger, and that it was Klinos' magic that stopped the murder.
Serena was trapped in the air by the magic of Klinos.
Eunice, who slowly turned around, sat down on the ground.
"What are you doing!" Abel shouted.
"I'm solving the problem!" said Serena.
"We have a lot of ways to fix this, there's no need to dye this place red. Klinos said.
"Do you think the Morgan descendants will leave you alive to tell others who she is, and before we can leave the village, this woman's poison will make you dead. Serena said.
The Earl Morgan family has always been dedicated to the study of witchcraft and poisons, and many people have died from their experiments. It's better to say that it's just the death of an orc slave, but the Morgan family is not willing to accept the effects of these interracial experiments, and wants to know the effect of these drugs in the human body. It led to a rebellion among the vassals, slaughtering all the men, women and children of the Morgan family.
If this thing gets out, Eunice's life will not be saved. It's not hard to imagine what she would do to ensure that the news would be sealed forever. The easiest way is, of course, to kill people, after all, only the dead will not inform.
"I swear, I wouldn't do such a thing. Eunice said, "I swear to the Seven Holy Spirits and to the One God." ”
"Don't use your dagger to solve everything, isn't there enough blood we've seen along the way?try to look her in the eye and see if she can lie!" said Clinos.
Serena looked into Eunice's eyes and said, "Okay, I've seen enough!" ”
Klinus then put Serena on the ground.
"What do you see?" asked Ebner.
"Pain ......," Serena said.
"Miss Eunice won't do anything to hurt us, just like we won't hurt you. Abner reached out and pulled Eunice up from the ground.
"The gold coins are in the box under my bed, please take care of yourself. I beg you to go out and never come back. Eunice cried.
"I want you to know that it's not a threat. It's just pure business, we get the gold, you get the priceless gems. We'll take 500 gold and I'll do my best to help if you need anything from me in the future. Klinos said.
"Let's go!" called Eunice.
Several people hurriedly took the gold coins, left the sapphire in Eunice's large box and hurried away.
Klinos tugged at Serena's clothes almost the whole time, for fear that something would happen to her again.
Klinos, who had just walked out of the shop, shoved Serena against the wall and said, "Miss Serena, you'd better take care of your dagger." ”
"What can I say? Serena said.
"The man almost died. Abel also blamed.
"That's exactly what I wanted. My experience in Demorah has taught me that it's best to fix things before they get complicated. ”
"If she died, wouldn't there be any of her friends who would come looking for trouble?" said Clinos.
"When trouble comes, we're out of here. ”
"Does human life mean nothing to you?" said Ebner.
Serena said contemptuously, "Every day people die, and everyone dies. Some are like ants and flying insects, and some are powerful. But in the face of death, they are all vulnerable. You poke them open and watch the liquid flow out slowly. You will realize how easy it is to solve a trouble. All the problems disappeared with the outflow of this liquid. Since they are not immune to death, it is better to use their death for their own benefit. ”
"Death doesn't solve problems, it only brings chaos, bloody chaos. Just like playing chess, everyone carefully thinks about the routine of the chess game and deploys their own positions. Once someone's chess piece is captured, it will inevitably sound the horn of war. Everyone is a pawn on the chessboard, and each person can skillfully balance the situation by doing their own job. Respecting their lives will not make you weak, and killing them will not make you victorious. The victor thinks carefully to know which chess piece is worth taking. Klinos said.
"Thinking is the slave of life, and life is the pawn of time. The world is different from the game, and only the blade in your hand can make you victorious. Serena said.
