"After returning from the City of Knowledge, we contacted the client and prepared to hand over the heart of the years to him. Indulgence opened the very ordinary-looking box again, and the crimson light flashed again in the room: "The client was very satisfied, but after he took the gem, he held it in his hand and studied it for a long time, and after taking it, he muttered, 'It turned out to be this kind of thing, it is useless at all', and then he threw it back into the box and turned away, without even looking at it again." We hurried to catch up and inquire about the situation, and he said that our commission was done well, but when we got it, we realized that the gems were completely useless to him, but even then, he would settle the balance of the commission for us. We asked about the treatment of this gemstone, and the results were ...... He said whatever we wanted. β
"Huh?" Catherine asked in a sluggish repetition, "whatever you want...... How...... Processing?"
"That's it. With a smile in his eyes, he leaned in front of Catherine and said in a deliberately low voice: "We can do whatever we want, hey, hey, hey." β
Catherine's fists clenched tightly, the muscles in the corners of her eyes throbbing, her nose fluttering rapidly, and she struggled to look at the hazy crimson in front of her.
"I want to give it to someone. "The indulgent fingertips draw circles on the gems, intentionally or unintentionally, and the voice of the voice is like a misty whisper in a dream:" That person will refuse my help in the weeping cave because I am in danger of demonization because I have been in it for too long, that person will come here to help us with a disgust for the city of innocence when we ask for help, that person will insist on coming back to help us even if he has been fatally attacked in the sewers, even if he has just been seriously injured, just because our situation is dangerous, even if that person is used by us, and it is used repeatedly, even if she is angry and does not even want to talk to us, but when I take advantage of the darkness to tell her to save us, she will still cooperate fully as soon as possibleγ Such people. I'm afraid it's hard to find a second friend like this in the world, but she's still angry, and she doesn't want to be friends with us anymore. We are sad. I also regret my mistake and want to do something to save this friendship, so we want to give her this gem in exchange for her forgiveness. β
"So, you're trying to use this gem for an incredible price. Come buy that person's friendship back?" Listening to the indulgent and low voice, Catherine's eyes gradually recovered from the intoxication, and she looked at the indulgent face with a smile, and her tone was a little sarcastic: "Is this what you think?"
"I'm not with the origin of enthusiasm, I'm afraid you don't know, few people in the world know. Do you know why we agreed to the two maids to find a way for them to live outside? Because we were like them in the past, we were born in the city of innocence, in the dark alleys. It's just that we're lucky, we have the talent to be professionals. And we have more courage than they are, and at the age of seven or eight we have left the city of innocence and lived alone in the outside world. Outside, we live alone in the shadows of the city, we don't have contact with anyone, we secretly improve our strength, and eventually we grow. The voice of indulgence was calm and terrible, but the maidens felt the hardships of those days in her calm voice, and the maidens seemed to see a child struggling to survive in the slums of various cities, even if he became a low-ranking professional. The child didn't dare to come into contact with anyone, and carefully avoided everything around her until she was promoted to the highest rank.
"Shut up. Enthusiast, who was lying flat, suddenly sat up and shouted, "Don't say any more." Shut up and indulge. β
Lina was taken aback by the sudden change in enthusiasm, pushed her down again, and said angrily: "You guy, don't you really want to live? Do you still think that my magic skills don't need to consume mana? Lie down and don't move, and if you move again, I won't treat you. β
"Huh. Honey, there are always things that people have to know. Indulgence smiled bitterly, sighed and said, "Okay, don't continue." Actually, I just wanted to tell you, Catherine, that the two of us have no friends other than each other, and we are clumsy in this regard, and we don't know how to maintain a friendship or apologize to our friends. Therefore, we can only use means that we can understand, and exchange forgiveness in the form of benefit compensation. It's not about buying friendship, it's the only thing we know how to do, and if you can't accept it, we're ......."
"Bang. Pannis slammed his fist on the table, causing the box containing the gems to tremble with it: "What do you think friendship is? Do you think you can get it back with just one gem? I tell you, you are wrong, it is impossible." β
"Is that really the case?" Indulgence and enthusiasm glanced at each other, their eyes full of bitterness: "That ......"
"Of course it is. Pannis slapped the table and said with a serious face: "How can a gem be enough, at least make an appointment for another in-depth exchange, and when you are tired of communication, you must always find a bed to rest for a while...... Ahh
"What an idiot. Lina raised her eyelids and watched as Pannis made a graceful arc in the air, and after rolling on the ground four or five times, she lay on the ground with twitching hands and feet.
"I already get it. Catherine withdrew her fist, picked up the napkin and wiped her hands with disgust: "Honestly, this time...... Forget it, nothing. I just want you to remember that true friends tend to think of each other first, just like Pannis just did, and of course, even then he was just an idiot. Friends get along with each other, there is no need to calculate and weigh interests, you ...... You guys...... I guess you won't be able to understand this at all, so let's have more contact and more communication in the future, there will always be a day when you can understand. β
"So, don't you mind anymore?" Enthusiasm almost sat up again, barely suppressing his impulse under Lina's murderous gaze, and asked in a trembling voice, "Can this friendship continue?"
"Well, you all said so, what else would you do?" said Catherine with a wry smile, "but I think we need to talk about this gem." The owner of the gem entrusted us with negotiating with the thief in the hope of redeeming it for a high price. β
"The gem has been given to you. With joy on his face, he said nonchalantly: "You can handle it casually." β
"If I accept the gems, I'm really buying friendship with money. Catherine reluctantly pushed the gem back to indulgence: "So now I'm negotiating on behalf of the client behind it." β
"Don't embarrass them. Pannis didn't know when he crawled back again, grabbed the gem and put it in his pocket: "If you don't accept this gem, it is estimated that they don't know how long they have to think about it, and they are really not short of money, when they are in this position, they just don't do anything, and it is very common for them to earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins a month." And a Legendary-level thief, a Legendary-level assassin, if you really want money, you can get it, so you can take it. β
"If you are so short of money, why do you still desperately suppress each other and compete for interests?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "And you have fought among yourself to such an extent, why doesn't your president interfere?"
"There are two answers to the first question, first, as a captain, if you want to protect yourself, you must have your own power, and if you want to maintain this power, you must have enough money to support it, so you have to constantly compete for affiliated organizations. Of course, the benefits of the two regions controlled by us are also very high, enough to supply us to maintain the consumption of power, and there is still a lot of surplus. Second, and most importantly, competing for affiliate organizations and expanding the area under our control can invisibly limit the expansion of other captains' influences, thus making us safer. Indulgent and patient explained: "As for the second question, hehe, the president will not interfere, as long as there are no less than four captains, they will not care, let us fight." They believe that only in such an environment will the last person who grows up be a qualified hunter in the shadows, so not only will they not interfere, but they will even encourage this kind of fighting and killing. β
"Unbelievable. Catherine shook her head, unable to understand the habits inside the Shadow Hand: "In this case, I will accept the gem, this is an unexpected surprise." β
"And one more surprise. Indulgent and mysteriously smiled: "How about giving you a human head." β
"You mean cruelty?" Catherine also knew about the 'record' of the cruel past: "The bounty on him?"
"That's right. Indulgence nodded and said: "You accepted the gem, if I pay you the commission money as agreed, it is estimated that you will refuse again, then how about using his bounty instead? The bounty on his body is also close to one million gold coins, which is a lot of money, and according to the rules of the guild, it is impossible for us to collect this money, so it is a win-win situation for you to take it." β
"That's fine. Catherine's eyes flashed, and her mouth couldn't close with a smile: "I accept it, I accept it, it's the best gift ever." β
"Alright, the treatment is done. Lina clapped her hands and let out a sigh of relief: "I'm finally healed." Don't exert yourself for three days, don't exercise vigorously for ten days, and after ten days, you'll be fine. β
Enthusiast slowly sat up, subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, and said gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be able to drag this injury until I find the pastor." β
"Don't be so polite. Pannis stood beside Lina, staring at the enthusiastic naked upper body with burning eyes: "You have paid the best, Eun, the best." β
"Why can't you remember it? Lina watched as Pannis was chased by a sword skill released by the knight, and sighed pityingly: "So, the idiot is really pitiful.
