Chapter 8: A three-person squad
Sleta slept extremely peacefully, and Ai Lu was already very tired after the healing magic, although Xu Mu wanted to help, but after all, there was a difference between men and women, so he could only give Ai Lu the work of dressing and cleaning.
After listening to Xu Mu's story about meeting Sleta again, Ai Lu couldn't help but feel sorry for Sleta, she was good in her heart, and she didn't think she was a nobleman anymore, and the aristocratic frame on her body had already been worn out a lot.
Xu Mu came to Ai Lu's room, he found a place to sit down, looked at the noisy environment outside the window, and couldn't help but be stunned.
At first, Xu Mu set off from the town, just wanting to come to Gothic Town with two gold coins to apply for an identity certificate, and then find a job in the town to live.
After polishing this world for a few years, the desire in his heart has become less and less, and he can't feel a trace of dignity and pursuit as a human being except for living.
The lives of civilians in this world are not valuable, and perhaps when they encounter a kind-hearted nobleman to manage a fiefdom, they can burn high incense.
However, this kind of small probability event Xu Mu did not have a chance to encounter.
On the road, he met Ai Lu and the two brothers of the black shop confronted, and he just wanted to eat black and make a profit, you must know that the boss of the black shop originally wanted to shoot at him, and it was not too much for him to shoot back.
It's just that he didn't expect that Ai Lu, who was rescued by hand, would entrust him with a task.
If he hadn't happened to use the Magic Identification Stone and found that he had an adaptability to all seven types of magic, which would have stimulated his desire for magic, he would not have accepted the commission given by Ailu.
You must know that he has found a lot of coins from the corpse of the boss of the black shop, which is definitely enough for him to live well in Gothic Town...
However, it backfired, Xu Mu, who was stimulated to pursue the desire, finally chose to embark on the road of learning magic, he had never been in contact with magic, and his heart was full of desire and knowledge for magic.
The problem in front of Xu Mu before was just to live, but now the problem in front of him is to learn magic and the commission of Ailu, as well as Sresta.
Sleta was a poor girl, at her age, if she were in the world she used to be, she would have been a carefree child, who would have thought that in this world, a girl would have to go through these things alone.
"Xu Mu, the girl is awake. ”
Xu Mu was still in a daze, the door had been opened, and Ai Lu was looking at him with a smile at the door.
"Good. ”
The two then returned to Sresta's bed together.
Sleta was lying on the bed, some parts of her body had been medicated, the room was filled with a smell of medicine, her eyes narrowed, looking at Ai Lu and Xu Mu who saved her, her mouth opened slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't make a sound at all.
"Is your body still in pain?" asked Xu Mu.
Sreta shook her head slightly: "Sreta doesn't hurt anymore..."
"Sleta? Eluk sat down on the edge of the bed, smiling and chatting with Sresta.
"Sleta's name was given by her father. ”
"What about your father?"
"Died a year ago. ”
Ai Lu's eyes were also a little gloomy: "Is it... Do you have any other relatives?"
"Originally..."Sleta looked at Xu Mu, "Sleta also has an older brother by her side, but he was caught by the guards a few days ago and forked to death..."
Sretta's tone was flat, there was no fluctuation at all, and it was clear that she was telling a very sad thing.
Ai Lu couldn't help but look up at Xu Mu and signaled how to do it.
Sleta has no relatives, which means that this girl has smashed their hands, and they can't take this girl to the western border.
Xu Mu also sat on the edge of the bed and asked with a smile, "I look very similar to your brother?"
Sleta hesitated for a moment and said, "Not exactly... Sir, your eyes are similar to Sleta's older brother. My brother took me to Gothic after my father's death, and every day my brother kept running around to live in the town, and his eyes gradually became very cold like my husband, but behind the indifference was endless tenderness..."
"Is it..."
"Sresta thank you sir for saving your life, and even more so thank you for teaching me today, Sleta is still young, and there is nothing she can do to repay your kindness. The corners of Sleta's mouth twitched, "I know that Sir and Mademoiselle are very embarrassed, after all, they saved me, and you who are kind and gentle must be troubled by how to deal with me." So don't feel embarrassed, sir... I can't repay your kindness, but Sreta will never trouble Sir and Mademoiselle..."
Hearing this, Ailu's eyes couldn't help but redden, and she squeezed Sresta's hand without speaking.
Sleta smiled and continued, "Sleta just needs... A little rest, a little bit... I'll get up in the evening and go back to the slums. ”
Regarding Sleta's matter, Xu Mu thought about it in the next room, and Sleta's words even calmed down his thoughts, he said slowly: "It's okay, I'll leave you in the room of this hotel for a few more days, just rest in the room these days, you don't need to worry about other things." ”
Sleta was shocked to hear this: "Sir, you..."
"My name is Xu Mu, if you are happy, you can also call me brother. Xu Mu smiled, "Of course, you can also call her sister, I believe she won't mind." ”
Sleta looked at Xu Mu, then at Ai Lu, and asked weakly, "Is it really possible?"
Ailu smiled: "Sleta, of course it's no problem!"
"Brother... Sister..."
......
A few days later, the neatly prepared Xu Mu and Ai Lu set out on the road to the western border.
Sleta was left in the hotel, and although her injuries had not healed, she was able to walk normally under daily medication.
Xu Mu left her two silver coins, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for her when she is only 10 years old, and as long as there are no major problems in the future, it is enough for her to find a way to live.
Even the hotel extended her for a few more days, and the room left her some medicine and new clothes.
Even the short robe hood that Xu Mu bought in Gothic Town was given to Sleta.
Sleta's height is only up to Xu Mu's chest, wearing Xu Mu's short robe and hood, and the hem is about to touch the heel, but she likes it very much, especially since she likes to wear a hood like Xu Mu.
After Xu Mu and Ai Lu left, Sleta's heart was empty, and the two of them accompanied her and took care of her in the past few days, allowing her to find the taste of her family that had dissipated for a long time.
Wearing a short robe and hood, she walked around Gothic Town.
The vendors on the road probably never guessed that the girl who walked in front of them would be the thief Sreta who almost killed someone a few days ago.
Now Sleta has long been cleaned, and the clothes on her body are no longer dirty, and the clothes smell of shampoo.
Passers-by couldn't help but turn sideways, thinking that Sreta was the child of a powerful family in the town, and they didn't dare to provoke it.
Sleta enjoyed the feeling, the feeling of being above others and not being bullied again.
It wasn't long before she came to the street where she had been beaten before, and Sleta looked out into the deep alley, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a man walked out of the alley, the man's right index finger was bandaged, his face was full of melancholy, and his spirit was a little trance.
Sleta looked at the man in front of her and began to tremble slightly.
The man obviously didn't pay attention to the things around him, and walked straight towards Sleta, who didn't dodge it, just watched the man walk towards him.
With that, the man crashed into Sresta, who took a few steps back.
"Bastard, who is not long..."The man was about to scold angrily, when he suddenly found that he was a girl in front of him who thought she was wearing a robe and hood, although the clothes on her body were not particularly precious, but they were also beautifully made, clean and decent, and there were not many people who could go out in Gothic Town in such a casual way, so he immediately changed his weak voice: "I'm sorry, honorable miss, I didn't notice you." ”
Sresta, who was trembling all over, suddenly froze, and then her body relaxed, yes, the dirty untouchable Sleta is dead, and now she is the 'clean and noble noble' Sleta!
Sleta snorted coldly: "Just a civilian, did you apologize like this when you saw me?"
As soon as he heard this, the man's cold sweat suddenly broke out, he really guessed correctly, the girl in front of him was not easy to mess with!
"Honorable Miss, is it Bupa's, Bupa is here to give you the most sincere apologies. As he spoke, the man knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, pressing his left hand on his chest.
Sleta couldn't help but laugh, it turned out that the man who used to bully her was called Bupa, and he was obviously scared to death now.
"Do you know who I am?"
It was in this place again that the crowd was surrounded again, after all, it was quite noticeable that someone knelt down in front of a girl to apologize.
Especially after seeing what Sreta was wearing, everyone was guessing that it was the child of a powerful family in Gothic Town, some said that Sreta was the daughter of the magistrate, and later said that it was the niece of the lord of Gothic Town, each saying their own thing, as if they were proving that they were very knowledgeable.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
The man who knelt down on one knee and bowed his head heard the speculation of the crowd, and his urine was about to be scared out, could it be that he was so unlucky today that he just went out and bumped into the child of the man in power in Gothtown?
"Bupa, I don't know..."
"You really don't know?"
"Bupa, I really don't know..."
Sleta snorted coldly and said viciously, "You are a mere pariah, you dare to touch me with your filthy body!"
"It's... Yes!" Buppa was terrified when he heard Sletta's tone, and quickly waved his two hands in the face.
He didn't dare to save his strength at all, after he threw more than 20 slaps, his faces on both sides were high and swollen, and he was already in so much pain that he didn't dare to exert himself, but the hooded woman in front of him didn't forgive him at all.
Sleta took a silver coin from her waist and gently tossed it to the ground.
"Throw yourself another hundred times! This silver coin will be your medicine bill! Of course, if you don't knock out your teeth after a hundred strokes, I'll have someone arrest you tomorrow and put you on the hanging table!"
When Bupa saw that the hooded girl had a silver coin in her hand, he dared to hesitate, and hurriedly responded and hit him in the face.
Sleta threw up her robe and turned away, and when she reached the crowd, the crowd parted her way, and the crowd on both sides of the road bowed down, with their left hands on their chests, all saluting Sleta.
Sleta couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the crowd of people who bowed down and saluted.
Is this the right of the nobility?
Eventually, Sreta departed, and she went to the stables in Goth, and took out a silver coin and threw it in the stable's face.
"Ride your horse and take me on the road to the western border, and I'm going to catch up with two men. ”
The owner of the stable, who was dazed by the silver coin, nodded without saying a word.
After Sleta got on the horse, she couldn't help but worry, the two silver coins Xu Mu gave herself were all spent, Xu Mu and Sister Ai Lu shouldn't scold her...
