Chapter 111: It's hard to let go
Li Jia walked in the streets of Glonia, his steps were slow, his movements were hesitant, and the breath of blood and fire here was many times stronger than that on the city wall just now, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Although he had survived in this world for two years, he had never had the opportunity to see such a scene, whether it was at school, in the royal capital, or in the previous journey, he had accidentally avoided the worst part.
He had released the Mage's Eye, sending it flying above his head, using it to observe what was happening in the wider area around him. But it didn't take long for his mage's eyes to retract, lowering in height until they landed less than a foot above his head. Like an ignorant child who touched a flame, he suddenly retracted his hand. It flew on it just now, and there were too many pictures that I couldn't bear to look at directly.
Li Jia sees the worst side of human nature, blooming unscrupulously here, and unfortunately, he is one of the evildoers.
Yes, he didn't do anything, but he didn't stop these evils from happening, he even made up all kinds of vague reasons in his mind to convince himself not to get involved in these things, he was so cowardly that he would just clench his fists and watch without saying a word.
When Li Jia walked through a crossing, a stumbling berserker with a red face rushed towards him with a woman on his shoulder, he poured too much wine in one go, and when he saw Li Jia in a trance, he did not recognize his identity, but regarded him as a lamb to be slaughtered in the city. So the berserker pulled out the axe on his waist and slashed at Li Jia.
Li Jia's figure flickered, and appeared more than twenty meters away, the berserker pounced into the air, looking around with some doubts, he finally found Li Jia, and rushed towards him again.
Li Jia evaded the berserker's attacks several times through short-distance teleportation, only to find that the berserker was reluctantly trying to kill him. When the berserker charged again, he cast an airlock spell that wrapped an invisible chain around the opponent's leg, causing him to fall to the ground. Li Jia cast several impact spells on his head one after another, knocking him unconscious.
And the woman he was carrying was thrown out, fell to the ground and rolled a few times, until it rolled in front of Li Jia's eyes.
"Are you alright?" asked Li Jiayuan. At this time, he could see clearly that the robe that the woman was wearing had been torn from the hem, and he could only see that it covered the upper body, and there was nothing underneath.
The woman looked at Li Jia with a sad expression, she looked at the berserker not far away, her body trembled with fright, and she hurriedly turned her head and asked Li Jia, "Master Mage, are you here to save us?"
Li Jia was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not ...... I, I'm just passing by. ”
The expression on the woman's face changed from expectation to despair, and the speed of the change made Li Jia's heart tighten, she picked up a stone from the ground and said, "Then don't stop me, I will kill this beast that insulted me!"
Without waiting for Li Jia to answer, she rushed to the Berserker's side, lifted the stone, and smashed it down on him with all her strength, and the stone smashed on the Berserker's temple, splashing a flower of blood. When she was about to smash it down again, she found that her hand was being grazed by an unknown force. She realized that it was just as much magic as the means of tying the berserker's feet, and when she looked back, the mage had stretched out his palm and looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Stop!" Li Jia said.
The stone in the woman's hand fell, and she said with a sad expression: "My lord, look at me, don't you understand what he has done to me? My sister is only fourteen years old, and after a little resistance, he broke her neck. ”
"But, even if there's something wrong with what he's doing, you can't just kill him. Li Jia said, "I can help you write down these things." Naturally, someone will judge him for what he has done. ”
"It's okay for him to kill my sister, he just needs to be judged. But it is not for me to kill him to take revenge. Is that what you mean?"
"No, she's my wife's subordinate, and I can't watch you kill him here. ”
"Don't say it, my lord. There is no stone left in my hand, please let me go. The woman clearly didn't want to argue with him about anything.
Li Jia saw the woman's appearance, as if she had given up revenge, so she let go of the two air locks on her hands and shoulders.
The woman didn't attack the berserker with a stone, but rushed to the nearby house as soon as the air lock was released. Li Jia heard a dull sound. The woman's head hit the wall, leaving a large pool of blood, and then she shriveled to the ground, motionless.
The woman's death was like ringing a bell in Li Jia's heart, and he suddenly felt hot and dry.
What the hell am I doing? I don't let this beast in front of me die, but I indirectly kill a woman. Li Jia involuntarily took two steps back, he had never been as disgusted with the person lying on the ground as he was now.
Raising his hand several times and lowering it, the prepared attack magic almost landed on the berserker's head several times, but he finally gave up on the plan.
In the end, Li Jia just locked him in a bundle with air, and then was about to lift him up to Selinda for trial, when a man came over and stopped him, it was none other than Selinda's berserker leader Lumière.
"Your Excellency Li Jia, what are you doing, why are my subordinates being caught by you?" Lumière asked.
Li Jia said with a bit of anger: "Do you see this woman on the ground? This person directly caused her death, right in front of me! I will hand him over to Selinda for trial." ”
"I'm sorry, but what you said is completely different from what I saw. I saw you magically bind my companion and allow this woman to stone him in the head. Lumière stepped forward and touched his unconscious companion's head with his hand, which was covered with bright red blood, "You see, the evidence is here." ”
"Since you've seen so much, you should have seen me stop that woman. Li Jia said.
Instead of answering him directly, Lumière said, "Since this woman has hurt him, it means that she is indeed an enemy against us." Against such an enemy, it is impossible to do too much. Therefore my companion is not guilty, please let him go. ”
Li Jia was unmoved, and was in a stalemate with him, and Lumière sneered: "What? Your Excellency Li Jia, do you want to spend time here with me? You must know that some people go too far, and I am going to stop them, and the longer I stay here, the more things you don't want to see will happen." Do you really want that? Huh?"
Li Jia gritted her teeth and glared at him, but Lumière was not afraid, he was a man of Count Carlos, and he didn't care at all what this indecisive count's son-in-law thought.
In the end, Li Jia still put the person down, Lumière smiled, carried the person on his shoulder, and when he left, he glanced back at Li Jia and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Li Jia, you should go back to the City Lord's Mansion and stay with Lord Selinda, you can not change anything when you wander around here." ”
Li Jia watched the other party leave, and when Lumière walked out of sight, he squatted down in pain with his head in his hands, and at his feet was the woman who had no trace of life.
