Chapter 486
Minaya is Rui Qiu's younger sister, fifteen years old this year, but due to years of malnutrition, it seems that she is only eleven or twelve years old, Xia Dong has heard that she has a good talent.
At least in Rui Qiu's mouth, this girl is stronger than her, but after the bad news of the two sisters, Pearl resolutely stopped her from continuing to practice the basics.
Probably in the hearts of parents, they would rather their children have a hard time than want them to suffer any misfortune.
So when Xia Dong proposed to train Minaya, Pearl, who had always been submissive to him, broke out extremely strongly against him, and even almost moved his family back to a dilapidated house in Lianghe District for this reason, which made Xia Dong feel very helpless.
No matter how he reasoned with Pearl, the other party just bit the right idea, practicing martial arts is not a good thing, the old Pearl himself was lame as a mercenary when he was young, and then his two daughters died together in a foreign land, for him, it seems that strength represents bad luck.
Of course, it is impossible for Xia Dong to give up his thoughts, he can't stay here forever, but the debt to Rui Qiu and Nolia in his heart makes him have to make amends, and he must let their only family members be happy, and in this world, the happiness without the strength to protect it is just a bubble, if Minaya can't become a knight, even if he leaves them with more money, it's useless.
Just like what happened to their family before, during this time, Xia Dong has already learned the reason why they are so down.
It turned out that Nolia did leave a lot of money at the beginning, but since the news of the total destruction of the Dale Sword and Shield Mercenary Group spread, many people came to the door, initially the families of those members of the mercenary group, who lost their source of livelihood, and it was understandable out of helplessness.
But the real excesses are the guys from other mercenary groups and caravans, these bastards have claimed that Nolia owes money and has not repaid, or received a deposit but failed to fulfill the agreement, so as to demand compensation, in the face of these guys' repeated entanglements, Pearl has to pinch his nose and admit it.
Maybe his original intention was just to calm things down, but where did he think about it, people are all inch-inch-oriented, plus Noelia and they were famous back then, so they naturally offended a lot of people, so more and more people came to the door, and even after the worst, even the ruffians in the city dared to blackmail.
In such a situation, even gold and silver were not enough, and soon, the family had to sell the house that was originally in the civilian area and moved into the Lianghe District.
After all, there are still some good people in the world, because seeing that their family is pitiful, many families will give priority to them in any work, so it is difficult to survive by relying on Pearl to do chores everywhere and his wife Moriarty to help people do some sewing work.
The experience of the Pearl family made Xia Dong really uncomfortable in his heart, he never expected this kind of development, which also made him very remorseful, he should have sent someone to understand the situation a long time ago.
And these stories have also strengthened his determination to cultivate Minaya, not only to make Minaya an official knight, but also to let her have at least level four strength, even if it is to take resources and pile them out!
However, now he has a headache not only because of Old Pearl's opposition, but also because Xia Dong himself has never been in contact with the cultivation system of this worldly realm, so he is really a little at a loss.
Of course, if it was just to give the girl strength, Xia Dong, who was a true god, could do it casually, just like the way he transformed Cynthia and them, he could make the other party exceed the fifth level overnight.
But the side effects of such a technique are too great, almost completely distorting the other party into another person, and he will also be his own slave, so Xia Dong is absolutely impossible to use.
Although he has Cynthia's memories in his head, but the other party's path is obviously wrong, due to the problem of talent, Cynthia's training method is to completely bypass divinity, relying on absorbing the devil's blood to promote, if Minaya dares to use this way to cultivate, 100% will be tied to the church and burned at the stake.
Besides, the devil's bloodline will have some influence on people's personalities, and Xia Dong doesn't want Minaya to become yin and yang or love killing in the future.
And Flora's cultivation method is not good, their Templar Knight's method, if you practice it, you will become a brainless mad believer of the Supreme Three Gods, not to mention Lytia, she is a priest.
So after thinking about it, Xia Dong had to find a strong person with free will, and then get the complete cultivation method from the other party, but this task was really a bit of a headache.
"Old Pearl, old Pearl, why haven't you said a word to us after so many days of moving? It's not interesting. Unbridled shouts suddenly came from the front yard, interrupting Xia Dong's thoughts.
Listening to the voice, the other party entered the villa directly from outside the gate, and there are generally only two kinds of people who will do this, and the owner is particularly close, or who comes to find trouble.
Xia Dong gently put down his wine glass, got up and walked through the room into the opposite balcony, which had a direct view of the front yard.
In the garden surrounded by the scent of flowers, two or three strong men with strong men happened to be looking around, and in front of them was a thin and short guy with features that looked a little like a mouse, and he was twisting his two mustaches with his fingers, and his eyes flickered at the somewhat flustered Pearl.
Under the influence of years of hardship and low spirits, Pearl still looks like an old farmer even if he changes into decent and exquisite clothes, but it is no wonder that he lives and nourishes his body, and some movements can not be changed in a short time.
"Master Cliff, I just now, I don't, I ......" Under the nervousness, Pearl couldn't even speak clearly.
Cliff across from him grinned, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, aren't we old friends, I heard that you moved, I'll come to congratulate you, so in order to show my heart, this month's interest will be counted." ”
But this sentence made Pearl's face even more sad, he bent down and took the initiative to explain flatteringly: "Master Cliff, that master just remembered the friendship with Nolia and their friendship back then, so he let our family live here temporarily, but this house is not ours. ”
Before Cliff could reply, a strong man behind him tacitly stood up and sang blackface, "Since that old man is so generous, why don't you pay back the money you owe for you?" ”
Another strong man also answered: "That is, your family owes our master so much money, and when he couldn't pay it back before, our lord was merciful, but now that he has money, how can there be any reason not to pay it back?" ”
This singing and harmony made Pearl's face wrinkled, and he could only repeat again and again at a loss: "This is really not our house, this is really not ......"
