The man sat by the door of the hut, the last time he had seen him, he looked like he was dying, and when he opened his eyes, Rhodes and Ciri didn't recognize him very much. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He was a little emaciated but in good shape, smoking a cigarette while two children were chasing and frolicking in the yard...... They made their bodies and faces so dirty that they couldn't tell the difference between men and women.

"Eugene, I'm back. ”

The man nodded at his wife and looked at the three behind her warily: "Who are they...... God, with a sword. ”

"That's what I said, the man who found you a doctor," said the peasant woman, putting down the basket on her back, and cried out, "Children, come and meet the benefactor of our family." ”

The two children stopped playing and ran over to them, staring up at the two men, the weapons they were carrying, and the Pauli on Rod's back.

Although the investigation was fruitless, Rhodes felt inexplicably satisfied at the thought that he had helped at least a complete and happy family, and he nodded at the two children and smiled kindly.

"What's wrong with him?" the peasant looked at the wounded man on Rod's back: "How did you get it, it's very badly wounded...... What are you going to do? ”

"We want to...... You can get a cart, or a stretcher, and take him to the doctor. "He's had a concussion in his head and couldn't stand the bumps." ”

"Understood, let's go in and let him lie down, we have a spare room, squeeze enough for you to live. ”

"No, we don't stay, don't bother. Let's get some drink for the wounded......"

"Huh...... Aren't they the people on the notice?" asked one of the farmer's children curiously, "a fifty golden dragon!"

The scene calmed down, and the farmer looked at Rhodes and Ciri, and stopped what he was doing for a moment. After a few seconds, the woman patted the child on the head as she spoke: "Don't talk nonsense, go inside." ”

Pauli was helped to the bed, poured a few sips of water, and slowly woke up. The peasant woman went to cook dinner, a porridge made of cereals and unknown vegetables, and a few fried eggs...... Even though he was hungry, Rhodes couldn't drink it after only one sip, so he got some of his own meat floss and sprinkled it before he could barely eat it. The farmer's two children looked at him greedily, so Rod gave them some of the meat floss, and the two children mixed the food into the bowls, drank several large bowls, and ate all the fried eggs that his mother had prepared for the guests.

"I'm going to get a stretcher and I'll be right back. ”

The farmer put down his bowl and left the cottage, and his wife also packed the table and went out with the bowl and spoon, leaving only the two children in the room to stare curiously at the two teenagers.

"We've got to get out of here. "Heary suddenly spoke, "It's been half an hour." ”

"Don't wait for a stretcher?"

Ciri glared at him, sat down next to him, and scolded the two children with their backs to the farmer, "Don't you understand, you can't wait for the stretcher." We've been recognized, stay here and wait to be reported. ”

"......"

The peasant woman walked in from the door, her hands nervously intertwined: "You two, you'd better hurry up...... I, I saw my husband walking in the direction of the outside of the village, he ...... He may ......"

"Thank you for the reminder, ma'am, and we're leaving. Ciri quickly and without hesitation stood up, sword on his back and began to pack his things.

Rod felt something rattle in his heart, and in a dazed state, he put away his things with Ciri, and left the hut with Bubble Lie on his back.

"If they come, I'll say you went the other way. The peasant woman locked the two children in the room and went out alone to see them off: "I'm sorry...... I could see what my husband was thinking, but it was my man...... I can't stop him. ”

Ciri shook his head: "No need to say more, madam, I can understand, goodbye, go!"

......

Ciri was leading the way from memory to Dr. Mythelel's clinic, and Rhodes followed all the way, becoming more and more uncomfortable. Not only because of the sequelae of poisoning, but also because of a strong sense of betrayal: someone wants to kill themselves, although they don't know who it is, but at least they are enemies without suspense. Can...... The people who saved their lives with Ciri did not hesitate to betray them for the sake of the bounty on the notice......

"Fifty golden dragons is a lot. ”

"How do I know. Ciri gave him a blank look: "You have obviously forgotten that I am not from this world, and if you have to answer, I will tell you - fifty golden dragons are enough to buy ten belts you gave me." ”

"Fifty golden dragons is not a small amount, just now, the whole family may be able to earn it for ten years, but most of them have to be used for life. Pauli lay down for a moment and woke up, weak enough to mount on his own, but conscious: "That is, they will never have the opportunity to have a sum of fifty gold dragons in cash in their lifetime, in other words, fifty gold dragons will be enough for them to double their quality of life for at least ten years." ”

"Be quiet, don't waste your energy. Ciri frowned and glanced at Pauli impatiently.

"It doesn't take much effort to speak. The man smiled weakly, "I'd be happy if I were you." First of all, you were not betrayed, and secondly, at least the woman had a good conscience. If you don't really get hurt, you can verify a philosophy of life and make a lot of money!"

The guy actually began to comfort people, and Rod suddenly remembered what Sylna had said about him: If you want to hear good things from Pauli's mouth, it must be worse.

The speaker obviously didn't guess what Rod was thinking at the moment, but continued to speak: "That old fellow Dieter likes to tell big truths, and now he's not here. For the sake of you not leaving me, I will also teach you some philosophy of life, I hope this can help you figure it out: 'People who are good to you will always be good to you, but those who are good to you will not necessarily reciprocate.' Don't trust someone just because you've helped. ”

People who are good to you will always be good to you...... Rhodes thought of his family, his nose ached, and he suddenly longed to return home immediately. Even if he is scolded by Roy every day for not using his brain, patted on the head by his father, and punished by his mother to stay in the room and not allowed to go out...... It's better than going out on this hell-shattering adventure that's completely different from what you imagined.

It didn't take much physical effort to speak, but Pauli quickly became tired and had no choice but to give up his tirade like Dieter: "Send me to the clinic, leave me and go, the sooner the better, the farther the better." ”

＊＊＊

Rhodes was desperately fleeing for his life, and his parents, who he was missing at the moment, were shocked by the sight in front of him.

In front of Raven and her husband is a patch of withered grass and a few dead trees. The woman took a breath of cold air and realized that it was finally here.

Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of the withered grass and the dead tree, what the two of them care about is the familiar smell left on the dead grass and the dead tree.

"Evil power. Duke Foster's expression had never been so serious, "It's much faster than I expected, the magic of this world is just beginning to recover, and the legion can't wait." ”

The female mage didn't reply, silently casting a spell to try to track down the target who left the puddle of breath, but failed as expected.

"The breath is very weak, and the residual evil energy has no tendency to spread. A little imp, or a detective eye?"

"It doesn't matter, no matter what is first sent into this world, the identity it represents is what matters. Raven said calmly, "The ...... of the Burning Legion Pathfinder. I'm afraid it's too late for your plan. ”

"Maybe, but it's too late to continue...... If you were a Legion's Pathfinder, what would you do first. ”

"Look for areas suitable as invasion points, corrupt and tempt some mentally weak mages, and try to create favorable conditions for the follow-up troops or something. The Duchess shrugged: "Who knows, in short, it is impossible to rush to find us first, but anyone who uses this chaotic energy within a hundred miles around me will be immediately discovered by me." ”

The withered and withered plants either lay silently or stiffened where they grew, as if uttering a silent cry to the sky. The man was silent for a while, then nodded: "It's pointless not to discuss this, let's send a message, let's seal this node." With the current concentration of magic in this world, it is not enough to build a portal that can be passed through by powerful demons, and we still have some time. ”
