When the ragged boy woke up in the bitter cold of the snow, he found himself still sitting in a slowly moving carriage, but without the cold dagger around his neck. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unconsciously wiping his throat, the boy noticed a faint blood scab on his fingers, which showed that what happened before the coma was not his delusion......

Suddenly aware of his situation, the boy quickly turned his head to look, only to see the young man with short black hair smiling at him, looking in a good mood.

"Get out of the car when you wake up, or be killed by me, the choice is yours. ”

The black-haired young man, that is, Su Wen said.

Hearing this, the boy suddenly felt like he had been pardoned.

But when he was about to turn over and jump out of the carriage, he suddenly thought of something, raised his head and stared straight at Su Wen, and said, "Brother Lauren must have followed, they must have thought that I led you out of the city." Maybe it's not there yet, but it won't be long, so hurry up...... I will, I will hold them back. ”

Su Wen was a little surprised.

But after two seconds of apparent stunnedness, the smile on his face returned.

"Thank you for your concern, but you'd better think about yourself. ”

As he spoke, he bent down and felt in the splint underneath the carriage, then pulled out a dark green high-explosive fragmentation grenade. Patting the snow on it, Su Wen handed the grenade to the boy.

"This thing might be able to help you get out of trouble. You see, open this latch and pull out the tab, and it will explode in 5 seconds, probably killing everyone in a house. When Su Wen explained to the boy how to use the grenade, it was as easy as telling him how to play with a toy, "If you have someone who hates him so much, throwing it into his room is the best gift." ”

The boy didn't take the grenade, but shook his head decisively: "If what you said is true, Big Brother Lauren they will definitely take it and use it for more bad things." ”

"What nonsense, why should you give it to them obediently?"

Su Wen snorted and said impatiently: "I'll teach you how to do it." If you meet them on your way back, pull out the tab as I said, wait two seconds and then throw it at their feet, and then throw it backwards, it's exciting. Remember that you are too close, at least ten meters, or you will have to die with them. ”

"But......" the boy was still a little skeptical, "why did you not only let me go, but also give me this?"

Su Wen pulled out the alloy army thorn: "It means you want this?"

"No, I ......"

"Get out of the car. ”

The boy took the grenade that Su Wenqiang gave him, jumped out of the carriage with his hands and feet, but still trotted with the carriage in the snow: "Sir, what is your name?"

"Get out. ”

So he was silent.

Seeing that the boy had stopped, getting farther and farther away from the moving carriage, Su Wen withdrew his gaze.

Although the fragmentation grenade required dozens of exchange points to get, Su Wen did so to give the little guy a way to survive - after the five tail walkers were all killed, one can imagine how the boy would be treated when he returned. Of course, Su Wen didn't plan to do this kind of thing that violated his own rules at first, and it was enough to let him live and fend for himself, but when he heard what the boy said to him, he decided to give him a chance, even if the so-called chance was very slim.

As for how the grenade will be used in the end, Su Wen doesn't plan to care, anyway, he doesn't often live in the North Plateau City - this ghost place is just cold to death, and he will definitely not come back if there is nothing to do in the future, so let alone a fragmentation grenade that can't even blow up a house, even if it comes to the Demon Beast to attack the city a few times, he will take it as a story.

It should be her little maid who should be concerned, and her heart seems to have been greatly traumatized now.

Not long ago, after killing a third man with her own hands without her own help, Laetitia collapsed in the snow almost immediately, and began to cry as if she had broken down completely, as violently as she had been when she had first been brought to Tridis' house by Suvin. Su Wen really had nothing to do with Laetitia in this state, so he could only take the same solution as last time, he simply picked her up and threw her into the carriage, and then cleaned up the crime scene with the help of the power of the system as quickly as possible, and drove the carriage away. Fortunately, Laetitia's crying only lasted for a few minutes before stopping, and now there was no movement in the carriage at all, and if Su Wen hadn't opened the curtain several times to confirm that she was just staring at the floor in a daze, I am afraid that there was some accident.

When it comes to first-time killings, almost everyone's reaction to this kind of thing is very different. There are always people who can maintain absolute composure, and there are always people who are hysterical because of it, and Su Wen actually can't remember what kind of person she belongs to, and the words he said to Laetitia before were just encouraging her. Regardless, Su Wen didn't think it was a good thing to take someone's life, but he never regretted what he had done, and it was even more so for Laetitia to take this step.

The Brilliant Continent is not a beautiful fairy tale world, and the unthreatening sheep can only become a delicacy on other people's tables, and can never control their own fate. Su Wen doesn't care whether others can control their own destiny, but since she has chosen Laetitia, at least she must have the courage to resist fate.

But strictly speaking, after all, this path was chosen by Su Wen for Laetitia, and it may not come from her own will, so sitting on the slowly advancing carriage, Su Wen's face looked relaxed, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

But there is no entanglement in this apprehension, because it is equivalent to a showdown. If Laetitia does not agree with this path, and even resents Su Wen because of this, and her favorability plummets, then although Su Wen will definitely be disappointed, she will also be very relieved to give her up, and try to arrange a proper way out for her, as a reward for taking care of herself in the past six months.

Different ways do not conspire with each other?

That's probably what it means.

......

Ten minutes after the boy left, there was a slight noise behind Su Wen. Laetitia emerged from the carriage and sat down in the seat beside Su Wen in the barely warm sunlight of the plateau sky.

"Are you feeling better?"

Su Wen asked as usual, but he was actually a little nervous.

Laetitia hugged her legs, buried her head in her knees, her eyes red, and her elven ears hot. She didn't look at Su Wen, but kept this posture to answer.

"Very bad, host. ”

Her voice was unusually hoarse from the recent crying.

Su Wen's heart sank, and he continued to ask, "Then do you regret it?"

This time, Laetitia was silent for a long time, as petrified as she didn't shake her head until Su Wen's mood was almost at the bottom.

"No regrets. ”

Su Wen let out a long sigh of relief, but his face did not show any joy, but took out the Glock 18 that belonged to Lyetitia and put it in her hand.

"You've practiced a lot before, but you just did really badly. Suven said to Laetitia, "Originally, with the cover of the carriage, it would not be difficult to kill those five guys, because all you have to do is fire at them within five meters, no matter how bad your marksmanship is, you will not be able to miss this distance." ”

"Hmmm......"

"Pay attention to the angle of your hand when shooting, otherwise the consequences are like now, your wrist is already swollen. This weapon doesn't have a lot of recoil in the same type, and if it had been replaced with a more powerful weapon, I'm afraid it would have dislocated now. ”

"The host ......"

"What's wrong?"

Su Wen didn't know if Laetitia listened or not, but she always felt that she was a little eager to speak.

"Don't leave me behind, okay?"

"Well, I didn't leave you behind, it's just a real combat drill in an unexpected situation. ”

"But......" Laetitia said, tears suddenly flowing from her red eyes, and she hugged Su Wen's arm tightly, ignoring the other carriage passing by, "I thought you left me behind." ”

"So I can't always be by your side all the time, whether I leave you behind or not, you have to keep yourself safe. ”

Laetitia cried, "That's different!"

Looking at Laetitia's stubborn face, Su Wen felt that he still didn't need to explain anything.

――Dividing Line――

The next six days were a dull and long journey.

After leaving the snowfield area, Su Wen saw the scene that belonged to this season for the first time in a long time, with fallen leaves everywhere and the gradually cold autumn wind becoming the main colors. Although it will be snowy in less than two months, it is much better than the ghost place in the North Highland City, where the snow is almost all year round and the temperature is minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius.

After passing through the provinces of Renault and Atalam, the destination of the trip is finally in sight.

The Northlanders are generally tall and rugged, and harvest scenes can often be seen in the crop fields, but Suwen can hardly see the shadow of orc slaves here. It is said that because of the proximity to the border, strong slaves will always be bought by mercenaries entrenched in the Panyin Mountains, so the price has remained high for a hundred years, even if there are constantly "supplies" from other regions to replenish it, but it has always shown a situation of short supply, so that the alien race that Su Wen saw the most has actually become goblins.

That's right, it's the goblins, the green-skinned, pointy-nosed, pointy-eared creatures that claim to be close relatives of the elves, but since nine and a half of the ten goblins are cunning profiteers, the Doren Empire has banned goblins from appearing outside of the Iron Furnace Province, and violators are all fined and repatriated. But Su Wen only came to the border town of Atalan Province, and he already realized the horror of this race from the overwhelming advertisements.

"Senjin Ping An Insurance, only 4 per year. 99 gold coins, up to 100 times the payout when you encounter danger, customers from foreign provinces will get a big discount for the first time when they make a purchase!"

It was a huge sign on a three-story slab building with a goblin in formal attire, grinning at the main road.

"Wonderful tickets, your best choice to get rich overnight, every Sunday lottery, the three-color ball prize pool is as high as 880,000 gold coins. ”

This is the sign of a crowded shop with a goblin wielding gold coins.

"Mithril loans, no mortgage on real estate, with a weekly interest rate as low as 1%. ”

This is a big-character poster posted on the corner of the building, and there is also a goblin painted on it.

"Woking Goblin Chamber of Commerce, machinery changes life, your life is a good helper. The Chamber of Commerce is staffed by the famous dwarven master craftsman Svein Royechaivsky as a safety advisor, and all mechanical products will never explode. ”

It's a wide banner in the middle of the road that looks valuable at first glance, and it's covered with a variety of steampunk-inspired parts, as well as ...... A large group of goblins dressed in artisan clothes.

Since he had not yet entered the Iron Furnace Province, Su Wen had not seen a living goblin until now, but just walking all the way down from the Atalan Province, he was already about to be brainwashed by this terrible creature!
