90. Acquaintances
“...... Who are you?"
Doug frowned, not remembering such an unusual 'acquaintance' - but he could accurately call his own name, and it seemed that he must have really known him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"I'm Sotamo!"
The slender man seemed to be very excited, and subconsciously wanted to step forward, until the 'Wise Asuna' beside him snorted heavily, and then he reacted and stopped his steps suddenly.
“...... Is it an acquaintance of yours, baby?"
The palm of the 'wise Asuna', which was larger than an ordinary person's head, roamed violently over Sotamo's body, but there was an unkind look in his eyes.
“......”
Doug laughed as he endured the vinegar of Arsuna, but remembered who this slender man was—Sodoma was a thief with whom he had been trained in the golden finger in his early years, nicknamed 'Night Cat', and was very agile, and had partnered with him for a while, and was later said to be a good mix—how did he become like this now?
There was a feeling of scratching behind him, Doug raised his eyebrows, and when he turned his head to look, the little girl was tugging at the back of his clothes, bending over as if she was about to vomit.
"Please......"
Her little face changed for a while, and her little hands pressed against her chest, as if she was trying her best to endure it: "I know that love cannot be chosen, and I have no problem with their personal freedom...... Gross!"
Her little body shook again: "...... However, the actors who appear on the stage must at least not be 'non-human'......"
"Roar!!"
'Wise Assuna' ears seemed to be pointed, and he seemed to be very wise, and immediately let out a violent roar at Fifian, Doug frowned and tilted his head, avoiding the piercing sound wave, one hand gently patted Fifian's back, and the other hand waved at the meatball: "I'll leave it to you to deal with." ”
He waved his hand, watched Meatball excitedly take out an ordinary big axe, and unexpectedly flashed in his mind the pale little face of the hotel Fifian, and couldn't help but snort: "-Don't use an axe." ”
"Whew!"
Meatball reluctantly put down the axe in his hand, the transformed arm shook, the muscles instantly doubled, the rabbit's eyes turned to the humans and non-humans who were still surrounded by life and death, the three-petaled mouth covered by the visor showed a sinister smile, and the body bent, returning to the posture of the rabbit on all fours-
"Whew!"
It let out a low roar as its body began to swell and return to its size as a monster, and the 'Wise Asuna' suddenly instinctively felt a palpitation as he looked at the fellow who seemed to be of his own kind.
"Kill him!"
His face became solemn, and he let go of Sodoma in his arms and put on a fighting stance.
However, how can a group of rabble, who rely on the crowd to rob in the dark alleys, fight against the 'humanoid weapon' created by the collective wisdom of the elite of the overlooking tower? The wise Asuna's heavy body, which was carried in his hand like a weapon, dragged around the field, and saw it groaning and rolling on the ground, it was 'gently'.
Only Sodoma, who was 'wearing heavy makeup', stood among the half-dead people at a loss, unscathed.
"Okay, okay, what's the big deal, don't throw up. ”
Doug gently patted Fifian on the back, while Linax, disguised as a wandering magician, watched the whole drama with a shallow smile, and his deep eyes flashed with remembrance and affection from time to time.
"Vomit...... Family...... I can't help it......"
Fifian seems to have a lot of imagination and has a tendency to become more and more disgusting. After a few more pats, Doug became impatient, frowned, picked her up, pinched her little nose unceremoniously, and didn't let go no matter how hard she struggled, until the little girl had to open her mouth and gasp for air.
"Whew...... Call...... Woohoo woo woo ......"
The little girl was pinched to tears, and she didn't know what to say.
"Don't be disgusting!"
Doug smiled.
"Humph!"
The little girl pinched her nose dissatisfied, but it was really not disgusting. "What about that person?"
She looked at Sodom, who was standing there uneasily, "This is your 'old acquaintance'!"
Doug ...... You seem to be doing a good job, hehe. ”
Feeling the gaze of several people, Sodom hesitated for a moment and came closer. He seemed to be trying his best to make himself smile naturally, but the crampedness and inadvertent 'charm' in it could not be concealed: "Your companion has single-handedly eliminated Assuna's gang, which is amazing!"
"It's okay. ”
After all, the two had been partners for a while, and Doug responded to him politely, his eyes swept over the face with heavy makeup, and his eyebrows jumped slightly: "I heard that you didn't inherit the craftsmanship of old Harry, and you are very good, how did you come here......?"
"Hehe......"
A strange light flashed in Sotomo's eyes, which seemed to contain various emotions such as resentment, anger, and helplessness, and then raised his hand that was lightly coated with Kodan - the fingers were slender but weak, and both hands started from the palms, and there was a slender scar extending along the wrist and disappearing into the sleeve: "My 'craft' has been abolished, and I can't stay there anymore, and then I ...... That's it. ”
"Deposed?"
Doug's eyes froze, and then he looked a little puzzled: "You should have saved a lot of money, why don't you go to a priest to help you reply?"
"Pastor...... Hehe. ”
Sodom gritted his teeth, hatred in his eyes, "I'm a 'believer' and no priest is willing to heal me, so I'm here to try my luck and ...... Hehe. His gaze turned to Asuna, who was being held in his hand by the meatball, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.
"The Unbeliever?"
Doug glared at him in surprise, "I remember you used to go to church - oh!"
Looking at Sodomo with heavy makeup, it was only for a moment that Doug suddenly realized that the purpose of this former partner's visit to the church was probably not to confide in God, but to 'communicate' with those young pastors.
"What are you going to do in the future?"
He looked at Sodom and frowned. Although this is an uninvited trouble, I also received a lot of benefits from him when I first entered the industry, and now I have walked away like this, which seems a bit unreasonable.
"Huh...... Just find another one. ”
Sodomo smiled softly, turned his head to look at the already silent Asuna, and arranged his hair in a very feminine manner. Doug looked at the striking scar on his wrist and couldn't help but snort.
Since he is an unbeliever......
As if he suddenly remembered something, Doug reached into his arms, and quietly took out a small bottle of refined mugwort wine from the 'dimensional warehouse', one of the spare props prepared for this operation, and handed it to Sodoma: "I have a bottle of blasphemy potion here, which can restore all old injuries in the body, at the cost of ten years less life." ”
"Potions of blasphemy?"
Sodoma's eyes widened as he looked at the small bottle in his hand, "Where did you get that?"
The so-called profanity potion is a dangerous thing sealed in some evil wizards through secret methods and stealing the power of certain gods, although it has a price, but it can allow people to enjoy all kinds of magic without hindrance, so it has been circulating in secret, and the price is also very amazing, and money may not be able to buy it.
"The windfall of an operation. ”
Doug covered up the past with a word, "Drink! We'll meet in this hellish place, and it's not an easy thing to do." ”
He didn't ask Sotama if he wanted to think about it—it was a good deal for a man like them to exchange ten years of life for a pair of 'craftsmanship'.
Sodoma looked at the vial in his hand hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, and drank it in one gulp - Assuna's judgment was correct, such a team of people with superior strength disguised as wanderers must be doing something more secretive, but with the strength of the other party, there is no need to use such a troublesome way to kill the mouth.
The spicy, sweet liquid in his mouth immediately stunned Sotama - the taste was almost identical to that of mugwort...... Could it be that Doug got it wrong?
He looked at Doug with questioning eyes, and just as he was about to ask, he saw a glimmer of light in Doug's eyes, and then his hands burned violently as if they had seeped into hot magma, and in his screams, the scars on his hands quickly shortened and faded as if going back in time, and soon disappeared, and the atrophied muscles on his fingers quickly plumped up like mushroom umbrellas after rain, and the powerful feeling made him forget even the sharp pain, and clenched his fists in disbelief. Let go, convinced that this is not a dream, after looking at your own hands, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Doug, thank you. ”
The heavy makeup on his face was washed away by tears, and it looked very weird, and then more tears poured out, making him bite his lip and never speak again.
"It's nothing, we've been born and died together. ”
Doug wanted to pat him on the shoulder as before, his eyes swept over the very neutral dress, and he changed his mind halfway through and took it back: "Don't take it personally...... I still have things to do, goodbye. ”
Now he just wants to finish this complicated matter as soon as possible, and the senseless waste of time is very unpleasant.
"Where are you going?"
Just as he turned around and whispered to Fifian, Sodom suddenly walked over: "I heard you want to ask that kid where he was at first......"
He was embarrassed to straighten out the heavy makeup on his face: "I'm very familiar with this area...... Hehe. ”
Doug raised an eyebrow and gave Fifian an an inquiring look.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Fifian was still rubbing his nose, "Anyway, it's just to lead the way...... If you go to find someone else, something may happen!"
It seems that the little girl has palpitations!
The corners of Doug's mouth curled. Although there will be no danger with Linax and Meatballs by his side, but those who have not experienced the posture just now will inevitably be nervous again.
"Okay—"
Doug turned to face Sodom and smiled. As Fifian said, it's just a matter of finding a guide anyway, and when you get to the crow's nest, you ask him and he won't go: "Then I'll trouble you!"
"Willing to help, hehe. ”
Sodom gave everyone a 'very charming' smile happily, and the faces of Doug and Fifian turned much paler together.
......
......
"Huh?"
Xi'an, the old mansion of Ambeshs, in front of the old gate.
A young man holding a large handful of bright red thorn roses and pulling the doorbell suddenly stopped his movements, and a suspicious look appeared on his ordinary, but involuntarily remembered in his heart, and he squinted his eyes and turned his head into the distance, as if looking at something: "I really can't stand it, I actually added 'variables' to me casually......"
After a moment, he muttered and turned his face back, as if he was helpless, raised his finger and snapped his fingers: "If it goes on like this, I'll die of exhaustion here sooner or later—"
Squeak!
The door opened at this moment, and the young man immediately put away the dejected expression on his face, and put on a fake professional smile: "Lilu @Miss Ambershs?...... I'm the clerk of 'Samwan Flower Paradise' (the boy paused and pouted imperceptibly), this is a flower from Mr. Newricher, please accept it, and wish you eternal beauty, he will always wait for you, even if it is until the gold coins rot into dirt ......"
