Chapter 114: Another Bottle of Elixir
How could Miss Delia die? Avi looked stunned, and the letter in his hand did not grasp steadily, and fell directly to the ground.
The messenger who had given him the letter bent down and glanced at the contents of the letter, and found that it said that someone was dead. The messenger immediately stood up and walked away, lest he get into unnecessary trouble when the other man broke down and agonized. After all, this kind of bad news from afar often happens in the Courier Bureau, and this Courier has long been surprised, and the most feared thing is that someone can't accept the reality and does irrational things.
However, what the Courier expected did not happen, and the young man in front of him just slowly turned around and walked towards the Courier's side by step.
"Aren't you sending a letter, young man?" the messenger picked up the letter with the bad news, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
Avi didn't respond to the other party, he just stuffed the letter that had been written into his clothes, and walked out of the messenger bureau with a sluggish expression, like a deaf person.
The bad news was like a bolt from the blue.
His own life-saver is dead?!, and the two-color blade mercenary group has been disbanded. Then I worked so hard to come here thousands of miles away, joined the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, went on an expedition with the group, and obtained information about Russell and Moon Shield, and all the things I did became meaningless. His mission has lost its meaning, because Miss Delia, who gave her the task, is dead, and she has gained what the writer calls "freedom".
Avi still couldn't accept this reality, so he found a random house and sat on the ground next to the wall. He still remembered the first time he met Miss Delia - the mercenary who stood up when he was bullied, the ruthless lady who helped him escape gave him a second life, and the leader of the mercenary group who gave him a chance to see the rest of the world again.
He recalled what the two Imperial Travelers had said. Miss Delia's sister, Golia, immediately reappeared in the western part of the empire after her head was cut off, like an immortal god.
Impossible, not even for a true magician. The only truth is that the person who was publicly executed was actually the sister of the High Priest Golia, Miss Delia.
After thinking about it repeatedly, this is the most reasonable explanation that Avi thinks, but now he lost his direction in an instant and didn't know what to do.
The letter said that the three of them were free, what did it mean? Does it mean that from today onwards, he would no longer have to look for any information about Russell's whereabouts, and he would no longer have to look for the Life Weapon Moon Shield? Or was he no longer a mercenary of the Two-Colored Blade Mercenary Group? He could return to Golden Shoe City and continue to be an ordinary person? Avi took out the dagger that Miss Delia had given him herself, and there was only confusion left in his mind.
I sat there until the end of the night. He had long forgotten about the families of champion fighters Patrick and Eddie, and he didn't even have the mind to give Fidel the task.
After sitting in silence for nearly five hours, he was awakened by his own hunger. On the way to buy food, Avi decides to go back and make it clear to Bignose Fan and Carrie, who are seniors in their own mercenary careers and must know what to do.
Having made up his mind, Avi bought some bread and went back to the place where he was sitting and ate it. After thinking about it, Avi still decided to try to get the moon shield in the headquarters first, he planned to find the strange doctor George, after all, the other party had saved his life, and I believe he would not betray him.
Avi, who was well fed, secretly climbed over the wall and climbed into George's private mercenary hospital at night. He found the hospital empty, not even the patients, except for the strange knocking sound coming from the basement of the hospital.
Avi picked up an oil lamp and slowly felt it to the basement. He gently pushed the door open, but the moment he did, Dr. George was standing on the other side of the door, and he was about to walk out.
"Oops! I'm scared to death!" Dr. George shouted, falling to the ground.
And Avi immediately saw the scene in the basement. There was a man whose head had been cut open, his brain drained, and he was lying on his back on a bed. Avi was almost so frightened that he threw away the oil lamp in his hand, but before he could see clearly, George had already pushed him up and closed the door.
"Why are you here!!" George grabbed Avi into the hospital hall, his clothes still stained with crimson blood and pale yellow brains.
Avi now has a plea for him, so he has no choice but to turn a blind eye to the secrets of his basement.
"I have something very important to say to you!"
Avi told George everything about the situation, except for the fact that he didn't say anything about the life weapon Moon Shield, and now he could only pray that the other party would not sell him to Alain.
George looked very calm after hearing this, and he said slowly: "This kind of civil strife often happens in mercenary groups, so I don't just do the business of your Moon Shield mercenary group," he poured some water on Avi, so that the other party could suppress the shock first, "Let's put it this way, I am neutral, if you want me to leave here to see Andre, it will also ask for money." It's just that you let me go through the mercenary guards and go into Andrei's room to get something, that's not what a doctor should do, I refuse. ”
Avi lowered his head in frustration, he originally thought that George was a man who valued love and righteousness and would help him at a critical moment, but it turned out to be so ruthless.
George could see the boy's helplessness, and he took out a bottle of potion from his bosom, which contained some cloudy yellowish thick potion, like human brains.
"This is my new development, and I gave it to you. With that, he handed the potion to Avi.
Avi felt inexplicable after taking the potion, "This is"
"Oh, you can take it and give it to Andri, who is still unconscious, as if it were a little bit of my mind, remember! If he is sober, don't say that I gave it to you, and if he does, you must come back alive to tell me the effect of the medicine," George grimaced, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Also, you should not have seen anything tonight, otherwise, I will immediately go and tell Alain's men, hehe." ”
Avi nodded, knowing that George's words of intimidation were just a joke. Although this strange doctor is not willing to risk his own help, he will not harm himself for no reason, after all, he has also worked hard to save himself.
After a night of sleeping in George's private mercenary hospital, Avi decided to go to Patrick, the champion fighter that Fed was talking about, and perhaps in the letter that Feder gave him, there was another way to get the moon shield. Get the life weapon as soon as possible and let Eddie's family escape, then you can get back to Big Nose Fan and Carrie as soon as possible, and let them tell them what to do.
