103 Midnight Sword (M)
Charles came out of the house with a milky white elemental stone in his hand, he respectfully raised the elemental stone and offered it, Balf confirmed, the elemental stone was washed very clean, and there was no smell at all, and he was about to give it to Chen Xiansong, but Bai Min suddenly grabbed it, sniffed it, and after confirming that it was not poisonous, he handed it to Chen Xiansong's hand.
This small elemental stone is also prismatic, with a blurry picture shimmering under the milky white surface.
Although the picture is very unclear, Chen Xiansong can still distinguish that it is a short process of a woman being killed by a black shadow, the speed of the shadow is very fast, in the whole picture, it flashes, with Chen Xiansong's weak eyesight, he can only see a general outline, which does not seem to be a human being.
It's just that he was a little strange: "Your name is Charles, right, I'm a little strange, since this elemental stone can record this picture, so you should be at the scene, why would the murderer let you go?" ”
"At that time, only my swill cart was placed next to her house, and the exorcism stone was placed in the center of the cart, and I was not where I was, and it was not very clean to say the specific things, and it might stain Your Excellency's ears." Charles's face was a little embarrassed.
Balf laughed, leaned into Chen Xiansong's ear and said: "Yesterday I also went to investigate the situation of the three deceased, this person, and one of the female deceased had some unclean relationship, about an hour before the incident, he and the deceased **, were found by the relatives of the deceased, chased a few streets, but I heard that he escaped quickly, nothing happened." It didn't take long for the deceased to ......"
Hearing this, Chen Xiansong also smiled, no wonder the other party's face was so ugly. But after laughing, I had to sigh again. The deceased was one of the women who stopped his carriage last night and asked him to give an account to her husband. At that time, Chen Xiansong thought that the couple had a deep feeling, but he didn't expect that in a few hours, he would get together with other men.
However, this also shows that there are definitely people behind this matter, who are not deeply involved in their husbands, and they are ordinary civilians who have no power, if it is not instigated by someone, where would they dare to stop a nobleman's carriage, coupled with the picture recorded by an exorcism stone, so eager to kill people and destroy clues, Chen Xian thought about it, there are only two possibilities.
One, the other party is very jealous of the Soul Thinkers Association, which is normal, except for the other two major forces, no one is not afraid of the Soul Thinkers Association.
Second, the other party may know Chen Xiansong, or it should be said that Chen Xiansong knows the other party, maybe he is not too familiar, but at least he has met.
Chen Xiansong held the exorcism stone and thought for a while, the people he had offended recently, the Tachibana Thorn Dolan family should not be counted, if they want to deal with themselves, they will either assassinate or poison, for example, the kind that happened yesterday, it will definitely not be this kind of petty family. But when it comes to being a child, he thinks of a person, the girl from the wine street, Sigeer, and the two have had friction before.
But this is just his speculation, he will not do anything to the other party without full evidence and certainty, but, if necessary, he will still do it.
"You can help me take a look, Xiaomin. What is that dark shadow? Chen Xiansong handed over the exorcism stone in his hand.
The delicate jade hands and the milky white elemental stone complement each other, which is very beautiful. It's just that except for Chen Xiansong, no one dares to stare at Bai Min casually, not even Balf and the others. Speaking of which, Bai Min is also their teacher, they usually subconsciously bow their heads when they see Bai Min, and the atmosphere of respecting the teacher in the Kate Kingdom is strong, they feel that if there is nothing wrong with them, it is a blasphemy to their teacher if they take a look at Bai Min more.
After a while, Bai Min's gaze moved away from the elemental crystal, and his voice was cold: "It's not a human, the species is unknown." ”
Hearing this, Balf and the other six were extremely surprised, not people, what is that? However, they didn't dare to doubt Bai Min's judgment, having been trained by her for so long, they knew how strong their nominal teacher was, and the bloodline of the Sun God Servant was not something that ordinary people like them could understand.
"Your Excellency, I wonder if the clues I provided are useful?" Charles asked, bowing his head, this is a matter of his wealth.
"Count" Chen Xiansong nodded: "You and I will go to the association to be fair, and then give you the money." ”
This is a necessary step, after all, the Mercenary Guild is a formal and reputable organization. When Charles heard this, he immediately grinned: "Your Excellency, can I ask a little more, is it a thousand gold coins?" ”…,
"Of course." Chen Xiansong returned the exorcism stone to Charles, and after getting the clue, he wanted to leave this place quickly, but there was no way, the smell was too exciting.
Chardon's mouth twitched with laughter. A thousand gold coins is not much for a person like Chen Xiansong who has no concept of money, but for a commoner like Charles, who has worked hard for nearly half his life and can't save three silver coins, it is an incredible amount of wealth. As long as he has this money, he can do a lot of things, and the most important thing is that his son's future is settled, and he doesn't want his son to be like himself, helping others collect swill forever and being looked down upon for the rest of his life.
After leaving the slum area, walking on the bluestone road, which is relatively clean compared to the city, Chen Xiansong exhaled a few breaths, and then asked Xia Er on the side: "After getting the gold coin, what are your plans?" ”
"Buy a better house first." Charles was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed his head and replied.
"That's not what I meant." Chen Xiansong explained as he walked: "I think you should also know the Tao, those people killed three women, it can be seen that they are very cruel, and there is no concept of human life in their eyes. I'm afraid that if they know that you gave me the clues, they might kill you too...... The possibilities are high. ”
Hearing this, Charles was stunned for a moment, and the blush of excitement on his face turned a miserable white, he had been thinking only about money before, and such a problem would be taken into account there. A few seconds later, under his green face, he trotted two steps forward and pleaded with Chen Xiansong: "Your Excellency, please, save me...... I don't want any more gold coins, I just want to keep our family alive. ”
Chen Xiansong was taken aback by the other party's reaction, and then realized that he had scared the other party. "I remember promising that if the whistleblower fears that his life will be in danger, he can leave with me and live on my territory. I didn't mean to blind you to the gold coins, don't worry. ”
Perhaps it was Chen Xiansong's gentle personality that played a role, and Charles quickly calmed down, remembering that his son was still at home, in case the murderer ran to his house at this time...... What happened next, he didn't dare to imagine. Charles knew that his life was without a future, his son was his only hope, he could die himself, but his son must not have an accident.
"Your Excellency, I will go with you, I am willing to be your lord." Charles learned from the second-rate singer to get down on one knee: "From now on, you will be my master." Dear master, can you wait a little longer, I will go and fetch my son, he is left alone at home, I am afraid ......"
Charles was very worried that Chen Xiansong would not agree, after all, it was a bit ignorant to let a nobleman, or a noble person who was a contemplative soul, waste time waiting for a commoner's child.
"Let's go"
But contrary to his expectations, Chen Xiansong agreed without thinking about it. Charles froze for a moment, then quickly got up and ran towards his home with all his might. After a few minutes or so, he came back panting with his thin, yellow-faced son on his back, sweating profusely and with a weak flush on his face.
"Take a break. We'll wait for you later. Chen Xiansong saw that he was working hard, so he said.
Charlian said no, Chen Xiansong's thoughtfulness certainly moved him in his heart, but as a 'pariah', he knew that many times, the superior was polite, which was the benevolence of the superior, but if a pariah like them accepted it calmly because of this, the final result would definitely not be much better.
But in the end, Chen Xiansong still waited for him for several minutes. Charles didn't have any expression on his face, but there was a look of determination in his eyes.
Several people walked towards the mercenary union, and halfway through, his son, who was lying on Charles's back, kept looking at Bai Min who was walking in front of him. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Dad, that big sister is so beautiful, if only she could be my mother." ”
Charles's son is called Tuo Lei, when his mother gave birth to him, he died of blood loss, he never saw his mother, after being sensible, Tuo Lei knew that his mother had died, so he often asked his father what his mother looked like. In order to make a perfect impression of his deceased wife in the hearts of his children, Charles always described her as a goddess, beautiful, gentle, noble, and so on.
So Charles felt that if his mother was still alive, she must be as beautiful as the big sister in front of her. …,
Tong Yan Wuji...... It depends on the circumstances. Charles didn't know what others were thinking, but he himself was absolutely scared and his face turned green, and Balf and the other six mercenaries turned their heads at the same time, their eyes narrowed, and looked at Charles quietly, as if six terrible Gamo cats were staring at the latter at the same time.
Charles felt his feet as soft as the legendary noodles, and he turned his head to shout to his son behind him, "Shut up"
Chen Xiansong then also turned his head, as if he was smiling and wanted to say something to the little guy, but at this time, Bai Min gently pulled his sleeve: "Xiao Song, I want to go somewhere, can you come with me?" ”。
Chen Xiansong was interrupted when what he wanted to say was interrupted, and he nodded.
Bai Min turned his head and glanced at the back, and his already expression-like face became even colder.
Holding Chen Xiansong's hand, Bai Min walked in another direction, that road was very familiar to Xia Er, and it was the direction leading to the western suburbs.
As you get farther away from the city center, there are fewer and fewer people on the road. Charles's heart is becoming more and more desperate, the fierce eyes of the six guards just now, as well as the coldness of Bai Min's eyes when he looks back, coupled with the fact that he is now getting more and more away from the center of the city, he feels that it must be his son's words just now that angered the people in front of them, and they want to find a quiet place to kill people.
Of course, Charles had heard of ordinary men taking a closer look at aristocratic women and being beaten to death, but he didn't expect such a tragedy to happen to him, although the cause was the nonsense of Tuolei, but in this situation, he really couldn't bear it, and he was in no mood to blame his son anymore.
After walking a dozen more steps, I came to a fairly open place, which was completely deserted.
Bai Min stopped, and then coldly ordered Balf, "Give me the sword." ”
Sure enough, he was going to kill someone...... Balve's feet were completely out of strength, his eyes were dazed and he knelt down, he couldn't afford to resist, a warrior trying to kill an ordinary person was like crushing an ant. was about to come to a happy life, just because of his son's childlike words...... Charles's eyes blurred, and he, who had not cried for more than twenty years, wept again, not because he was going to die, but because his heart hurt that his son was still so young and was about to die before he grew up.
Bai Min turned back, and the broad Balf greatsword was raised high by her......
