Chapter 53: The Sin of Greed
"Lloyd, aren't you an assassin, why are the hidden weapons so powerful?"
Jory asked, wiping the blood from his face with the black cloth on his arm.
Not to mention how long Lloyd had been wandering around the village alone, and how long it had taken Jory to find him, the two of them were in a large grocery store, picking up the supplies they needed.
Jory's question is idiotic for a legitimate assassin. No matter how you do it, an Assassin who can kill the target is a good Assassin, whether you use a throwing knife or a loaf of bread?
Probably because he had drunk twice as much wine as he had drunk, Lloyd didn't want to be as talkative as before, so he replied briefly: "Did I say that throwing knives are what I do best?" As the words fell, Lloyd's hand froze in front of a shelf, and he caught a shovel, touched the shape of the two, and then took it off.
"Uh......"
Recalling the bright blood hole in the orange demon's chest against the back when Lloyd killed the orange demon, Jory suddenly realized that such a wound could be made by a flying knife!
ββ¦β¦ So how did you kill the guy just now? β
Lloyd's hand was on the price of the commodity, he touched it left, pinched it right, and said without raising his head: "Use a throwing knife!" β
"You watch purple ......," Jory covered his forehead and sighed listlessly.
At this time, Jory wanted to rush up and fight with Lloyd, but he didn't dare, a deep sense of powerlessness made him full of depression and unable to vent.
Lloyd turned around and asked, "What did you say?" β
βNotingγβ Jory said a foreign language in his hometown, shook his head quickly, and honestly selected supplies.
Anyway, it was the big boss Lloyd who paid for it, and Jory didn't show any mercy in choosing supplies. He specially selected the best and most expensive hardcover food, and a beautiful silver-plated table knife, which was also stuffed into his shopping basket.
Jumping around like this, when the two of them came to the counter of the grocery store, the thin and tall grocery store glanced at the goods in the two people's frames, pointed to the shovels, black bread, and salt in Lloyd's box and said, "Yours is 3 gold coins." β
Lloyd unloaded his backpack and took out a handful of gold coins, his dark gray frozen pupils staring ahead, he felt for three gold coins with his hands and placed them on the counter.
The grocery store owner pointed to Jory's shopping box, and the speed of calculating the total price was obviously much longer than Lloyd's, and finally it was Jory, a college student who graduated from the Department of Finance, who compared three fingers to the boss, and the boss opened his mouth and said, "Oh, oh, your business 38 gold coins." β
Lloyd was about to touch the hand of the boss to count the gold coins, and froze.
But he only froze for a moment, and then quickly took out 38 gold coins with his hands one by one, and gave them to the boss one by one.
"Rest for six hours from now, and in six hours, I'll be waiting for you at the highest point in the village."
Reputting his improvised backpack back on, Lloyd tied up the supplies he had bought and walked away in silence.
And Jori, who was still standing in the grocery store, stared blankly at the box full of expensive items he had picked up, and some were speechless.
"Huh......" The grocery store owner suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he held his reading glasses, stretched out his face like orange peel, and showed a flattering smile to Jory: "Sir, your friend is so terrible, there have been several times just now, when I saw his eyes, I thought he was going to kill me...... Then again, isn't that friend of yours so eye-catching? Tsk, it's a pity. β
After sneering twice, Jory packed up the valuables he had jumped off and left the grocery store without saying a word.
Although I didn't have the idea of taking advantage of it at the beginning, just waiting for the opportunity to be disgusted, but isn't it a bit too much to pit Lloyd in this way? Jory was carrying a load of loot, none of which were his, but had been bought by Lloyd.
No!
In the middle of the road in Candlestick Village, Jory threw away the bag in horror, and he looked at the goods scattered all over the ground in fear, and the cold sweat changed his whole body.
In the past, although he liked to make fun of people and was a little black-minded, Jory always had a balance in his heart, and he would not do anything that exceeded his own principles! But lately he had clearly felt that something was not quite right, and today he used supplies to take the opportunity to disgust Lloyd, when he was really in a cheerful and loving mood when he chose those gorgeous goods, this kind of greedy and dark psychology, which he did not have before!
"Heraldry, heraldry...... Tell me, I, what the hell is going on......"
Jory clutched his hair coldly, and asked the coat of arms in his heart. At this moment, when he began to become stranger, only the coat of arms that was born with him could bring him a sense of security.
"Congratulations host, you have begun to blacken your mind, and you have chosen the sin of greed! Immediately consume 1000 soul points to advance to the mortal level six stars, and you can immediately advance to the half-demon (one star). β
"Suggestion, greed is not the most powerful original sin, please choose hatred and gluttony!"
"Warning, please don't go to Castlevania, use Castlevania to blacken yourself, the host has a great chance of losing itself!"
I...... Greedy?
Jory looked at the expensive goods scattered all over the place in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time.
Coming back to his senses, he glanced around, and there were already many demons watching him nearby, and some people recognized him as the strong man who killed the orange demon at the entrance of the tavern. In fact, that's what they thought, and the onlookers didn't find Lloyd's shadow at all, only Jory confronted the orange demon, the orange demon died so strangely, and only Jory was the most likely murderer.
It is also the origin of this that the demons watching on the side of the road watched Jory look at the goods in a panic, and did not go over to rob him while the fire was burning.
Hurriedly packing up the goods, Jory ran back to the grocery store with the bag in his hand, demanding a full return. Who knew that the grocery store owner, who was still looking like an old man just now, heard Qiao Li bite the return, and the old and frail posture suddenly melted the ice and snow, and when he heard Qiao Li's return, the grocery store owner actually showed an undisguised ferocious color!
Candlestick Village, a famous village, is civilized because of the various services and service attitudes of the village, and the people in the village seem to have the natural quality of businessmen, they can accept any customer, even if they are unreasonable customers, they can also greet them with the most polite attitude.
However, don't ask for a "return" in front of them, and don't want to eat a bully meal. Otherwise, you will see with your own eyes how their politeness one moment will turn into a real demon the next.
These were all things that Jory didn't know, and since he suddenly woke up to the strange side of himself, he began to panic, afraid of his future changes, and he hurriedly wanted to exchange for Lloyd's gold coins, and didn't think much about it. If it weren't for the grocery store owner's weak constitution and being run out by Jory, maybe the grocery store owner who fell into bloodlust would really have fought with Jory regardless of his life.
Greed, greed......
Me, greedy? How can my seven deadly sins be greed! Could it be that when the cashier touches the banknotes for a few years, it has its own hidden greed?
For the next six hours, Jory spent the next six hours in his arms under the corner of the street, and he didn't use Lloyd's money to stay in a hotel.
Holding the bag in his arms, Jory's body and body fatigue came to him, after all, he was not completely out of the physical instincts of ordinary people, and the intense physical exertion and mental exhaustion made him drowsy and close his eyes and fall into a strange sleep.
It was a dream that had never been seen before, it was real, but it was shrouded in a layer of fog, and he seemed to be in a dream, but it seemed to be watching a dream from afar.
In a vague dream, he saw ......
A beautiful figure, covered in a terrible color of blood, lay on the ground languidly, clutching his wrist tightly, showing extreme pain.
Half-asleep, Jory saw her get back on her feet, and he felt wonderfully that the miserable figure seemed to overlap with himself, as if he felt the pain of the woman in the dream, her body, and the figure staggered into the distance until she disappeared into the fog.
In the hazy and illusory dream, Jory saw that there was a blood-colored mark on her wrist that was extremely scarlet, even if the dream was vague and illusory.
The scarlet mark is still as clear as ever.
Even in the mist, the scarlet mark released a terrifying sense of oppression, allowing Jory to see its scarlet color and making Jory feel its terrifying oppression.
