What's the matter, even though he is the top powerhouse in the mainland, he is poorer than me?

Xia asked in surprise:

"Where do you spend all your money?"

Does this person like to gamble?

Having said that, as long as he shows his strength a little, there should be no casino that dares to charge his gambling money.

"This ...... Actually, I don't have much income, and I usually go to the dock or forest farm occasionally to work as a coolie, move some wood or something, and make hard-earned money. ”

Uncle Black Knife sighed and said:

"As for the farmers, they are generally stingy, so I never go to the farm, it's not a good place to make money."

Xia Chayan looked at his eyes and found that he didn't look like he was lying, and he was a little confused in his heart:

As long as you are willing to show your identity, not to mention the farmer, even the lords of some territories will rush to please you, right?

Even she, a mercenary, basically has a passable errand in ten days and a half months, and this one actually goes to work as a coolie? This is also outrageous.

"Goo-"

Uncle's stomach suddenly rang.

"It's embarrassing."

His face flushed:

"Just now, I just had a piece of bread, and after a little movement, my stomach was hungry."

He shook his money bag:

"Why don't we go back and get something to eat? I'm in for a treat. The ducks and fish in that house are very fresh, I didn't want to order them just now, but now there are ladies in the ......."

……

"I'm really sorry to let such a beautiful young lady break the bank."

Uncle Black Knife sat at the table and gobbled it up as he said:

"When I get paid, I'll invite you to the city for a good meal...... By the way, do you like to drink? I've been here once before, and the wine sold by the lake has a strange smell, and it's still Sallado's ice water wine that is the most authentic. ”

Xia looked at his eating appearance speechlessly, felt that the place names in it were a little familiar, and couldn't help but ask him:

"Where is Salrado?"

"A city near the Great Snow Mountains, close to the East."

Uncle Black Knife swept away the food on the table with astonishing speed, wiped his mouth with a piece of cloth gentlemanly, and replied:

"The first time I saw you, I thought you were from there...... There are black-haired people everywhere, but your eye color is different from theirs, and most of their eyes are black too. ”

It turned out to be the place Bella had mentioned.

Natsu finally remembered why the word was familiar, because she had heard it not long ago.

"It's a strange question, but may I ask you why you didn't go as a guard or mercenary? With your strength, wouldn't that be much better than being a coolie? ”

Xia thought about it for a long time, but still brought up this question that had bothered her for a long time.

"I have my principles."

Uncle Black Knife took a sip of the bad wine produced by the lake, and replied with a bitter face:

"Everybody and everybody is different, you know."

Saying this, his back slowly straightened, as if suddenly a different person:

"In this world, human beings actually contain amazing potential, but most people will go with the flow, choose a mediocre life, so as to consume the possibilities they originally had, and age and die over time; This has to be said to be a sad thing. ”

He stared at Natsu with those shining eyes:

"I know you would say that everyone dies, or that it is an inevitable destiny or a metaphor of God. Ha! But who can tell me what is the Mandate of Heaven? Where is God? ”

"The people of the continent have lived for thousands of years without finding any evidence that the gods really exist, and those who blindly worship gods like the Order and the Empire are just stupid idiots in my eyes."

His voice was a little loud, Xia was startled, and hurriedly looked around, and found that some people quickly lowered their heads.

"You're drunk, stop drinking."

She whispered.

"No, I'm not drunk, I'm just a little emotional, very few of us can listen to our people's opinions, you're a little different, at least you don't make sarcastic remarks or walk away."

Uncle Black Knife drank the glass of wine in one go, his face did not change color at all, and it seemed that he was telling the truth.

He stood up from the table, took the broad black knife, and put on his gray cloak:

"We've had a fight at the edge of the forest, and the guards will probably come to check on us soon, and it's almost time to get out of here."

Neither of them spoke again, and walked towards the forest from the other direction, and when they reached a large tree, Xia stopped.

"Can I ask you something?"

She looked at Uncle Black Knife:

"Who the hell are you?"

Uncle Black Knife's face was already covered by the cloak at this time, and when he heard this, he slowly turned around, and his eyes under the cloak shone brightly:

"The gods will not wipe the tears of the **, the confused people are no longer afraid of death, the past world has sunk into darkness, and the savior will bring a new dawn......"

He made a farewell ceremony:

"I'm an atheist, dear Miss Brunette." With that, he walked into the forest and never looked back.

"Master, he hasn't lost any money yet."

The black-clothed little Lori said as she tugged on Xia's clothes.

"Don't worry, this kind of person won't be repaid."

Natsu stroked her hair and watched the gray figure disappear between the trees:

"Let's go too...... What is an atheist? I think I've heard it somewhere. ”

"I have an impression of this, master, do you want to go back a bit?"

The little Lori in black opened a blank panel and typed the handwriting on it:

"At that time, although I had not yet woken up, I could feel my surroundings and hear sounds within a certain range, and I heard someone mention this word when I was in the Thousand Bell Flower Cave."

She was extremely fast, and in an instant, she typed a large paragraph of text on the panel.

"Let me see."

Natsu moved the panel in front of him and looked at the text on it:

"The gods of this world are dead...... Or is it gone...... The whole world has been plunged into chaos...... Ordinary people can become gods, but they need some necessary conditions? ”

She suddenly raised her head:

"That's what Darrow said!"

She remembered the arcane mage who had broken three legs.

- Isn't it ridiculous that you compare this statement with their own names, and that atheists want to become gods?

-- The strength of some organizations is so terrifying that the weaker local cities have nothing to do with them, and there are often rumors that the outer towns of various countries have been attacked by them......

"Atheist...... Atheist...... It turns out that the brooch of Normanta is a token of this organization! ”

Looking at the information above, Xia felt that his scalp was a little numb:

How can this kind of extremist organization look a bit like those terrorist groups on the earth?

"Should this brooch be thrown away?"

She pulled out the dark yellow brooch and thought it was a little hot now.

"Master, after meeting this uncle, my understanding of this organization has changed a little, maybe they are not as evil as they imagined, just some stubborn guys."

Stephanie said, looking at the brooch.

"Judging by the faction classification in the game, they should be like Chaotic-Neutral, just like the ghost."

Xia thought about it and handed the brooch to the little Lori in black and asked her to put it away:

"Do things on a whim, without cause and without regard for consequences, or as pure as a blank slate, or act crazy...... It's better to feel farther away from this kind of person. ”

"Master, I feel like you can be friends with him."

The little Lori in black lay on her back again.

"No kidding."

Xia shuddered:

"Don't you think it's a little dangerous, the level of the two of us is too different, even if my strength has increased greatly after I transformed, I didn't take advantage of anything in the battle just now, what if he turns his face one day?"

Then she said the most important reason:

"And he's a man, if it's a beautiful girl, it's a different story."

“…… I see, master. ”

"Let's go."

Xia touched his back and found that the clothes were only worn out a little and not broken, so he dispelled the idea of changing his body again, save it!

So, she and the Black Knife Uncle are still somewhat similar in some places?

"There's a lot of time to delay today, so let's make a trip to the old witch's treehouse before we go to the underground forest, and finish our last commission in Dalton."

Although her arm was semi-paralyzed, her leg was not injured, so she didn't need to rest, so she made a name for herself in the forest and headed northeast.

About half an hour later, a group of guards came to the lake.

"This is it, ladies and gentlemen."

A merchant with a cross on his chest walked in front and pointed to a table, saying:

"The man with the big black knife was sitting here just now, saying disrespectful things to the gods, and there was a woman next to him, but the woman was wearing a hood and couldn't see her face clearly."

A man who looked like a captain walked through the guards, glanced at the table, and then one of the guards hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"I just got a report that the man with the black knife seems to have saved you once."

The captain of the guard stared at the merchant's chubby face and said:

"Gods? I don't care if that kind of blind guy is disrespectful or not, but that man is a real dangerous person, and he actually saved you...... This can't help but make me doubt your relationship. ”

"Take them all away!"

Looking at the carriages and the young girls, a meaningful smile appeared on the face of the captain of the guard:

"Men and women are divided into stakes, and those goods may be stolen goods, and the quantity is counted, and a suitable price is estimated to be reported to the above, which is more or less a little credit."

"No, no! We don't know that person, really! ”

The merchant screamed and was arrested by the guards.

"Recently, because I'm looking for that silver-haired woman, everyone is so busy that they can't even sleep well, so I have to make up for it."

The captain of the guard smiled at his subordinates:

"The gods of the Order are busy praying on women's bellies every day, but we people have to work outside, if Sadosh is really omniscient and omnipotent, why don't you become beautiful women and let us have fun......

Hearing his words, the guards beside them had just shown a knowing smile, and the body of the captain of the guard suddenly froze.

Then cracks appeared in his head and body, spurting blood outward.

"Poof, pop, pop......"

The bloody flesh slowly detached from his body, falling to the ground piece by piece, making a chilling sound.

"Klein, what do you mean by that?"

From above the stunned guards, an angry voice rang out.

The speaker was a man with a giant sword on his back, suspended above with a white glow, questioning a person who was also floating in the air.

"Vindictive!"

Some of the knowledgeable people below recognized the white light on the man's body.

"It's not a pity to insult the gods and die...... Or do you want to stand up for him? Cremont. ”

The other replied coldly.

The man had short blond hair, but half of his face had been ruined by something, and he looked a little shocking, and he wore a white blindfold on the left side of his eyeball. R1152
