Chapter 243: The Prisoner
Naturally, it took money to repair the house, but since Elena took a trip to Linghe City with some magic crystals, this problem has been solved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, more than 20 workers returned.
Makoto never thought that Elena would be so efficient!
However, he looked at the men in front of him walking with a limp, and he also had a mental understanding.
Looking at Elena in the lead, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is it a hooligan or a robber?"
Elena shook her head and said, "No, it's a fugitive." ”
"Fugitives?"
Elena herself seemed a little confused, and said, "I met this group of guys besieging a girl, and after saving her, I realized that they were prisoners who escaped from the city!"
"Then why did you get them here? Do you want to occupy the mountain as king or pull the flag to rebel?"
"Hmph! It's just a deal to talk about on the way back to push them back. ”
Makoto glanced at the men with blue noses and swollen faces, and asked in surprise, "Aren't they fugitives?"
Elena shook her head and said, "No, I just loaned them from prison for half a month. ”
This explanation directly made Makoto stunned, because this answer was too unexpected for him.
He had heard of the labor reform, but he had never heard that the transformation process could still be rented!
He was stunned for a long time before he was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that they will run away?"
"Don't be afraid, someone made a guarantee. ”
"Who?"
"The girl I saved!"
Cheng immediately complained: "Don't tell me that the woman's identity is the daughter of the city lord?"
"No, she's the lord of the city. ”
This time, Makoto was completely silent. This kind of plot of the hero who can be met when he goes out to save the beauty actually happened to Elena, and looking at what that beauty did, I am afraid that the gratitude for being saved is extremely strong.
He looked into the distance and sighed: "Such a city is ruined." ”
Renting out prisoners is simply ridiculous to the extreme.
He'd heard of renting out prisons, but he'd never heard of renting out prisoners.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't communicate with the local residents for the time being, he would have asked the prisoners how they felt.
If the other person is interesting, it's okay to help them plan an escape route.
He shook his head and stepped aside, ready to see how the farce would play out.
On the side, Tidlight walked out so openly, holding a strand of hair in her hand, which was the body of Chaozhu.
The twenty-odd prisoners seemed to have known about her existence for a long time, so they only cast curious glances and did not show any further.
Not only did they not fear, but they frequently looked this way out of the corner of their eyes.
As soon as Chaozhu got closer, he flew to Makoto's body and said, "This group of guys was marked by Elena, I didn't expect her to have such a hand." ”
This puzzled Makoto and reminded him once again that there were all kinds of weird magic here.
Summoning the power of the sun, he saw a tiny mark appear behind everyone's back.
But despite this, Makoto still feels that this matter is a little unreliable.
The most unreliable thing is that the city lord will let the prisoners who besiege him to help others build houses.
There's always a weird feeling behind it.
Tiddelit sat down next to Makoto and watched the group start cleaning the surrounding land under Elena's arrangement, and said, "They're very obedient." ”
Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not just obedience, you look at their eyes, you almost feel like they see Elena as a benefactor, this is too big a problem." ”
It's a little strange to think about being beaten up and seeing the other party as a benefactor.
Chaozhu said: "Maybe just before, they were sentenced to death, and now they have been changed by Elena. ”
The death penalty for besieging the city lord is definitely a sure thing, but Cheng understands the complexity of people's hearts, their siege was originally destroyed by Elena, even if they are saved, they should not be worshiped by these people, more should be resentful.
And even if there is gratitude, it shouldn't be all,
He glanced at Chaozhu and asked, "Do you have any way to communicate their language?"
"Soul communication may be difficult for others, but it is not complicated for the undead, from the initial soul whispers to the advanced soul mantras, the living beings can understand your words, but the other party can understand, and it is difficult for you to understand the other person's words. ”
Makoto sighed and said, "That's better to forget it." ”
What he wants is to get the news, not to reveal the news, if it is a simple question, just give it to Elena.
But looking at those people, Makoto also found a small problem, before Elena said that few people here can understand the lingua franca, but looking at the posture of Elena commanding this group of people, it is clear that all of them understand the lingua franca, which is a bit special.
This group of people are not professional craftsmen, so they can only clean the surrounding area, and those who can really work will have to wait for the craftsmen who will come later.
Makoto looks like he is clearly building a simple house, and this makes Makoto feel that he has suddenly become a real estate developer.
Tidwlet also complained: "You don't need so many people to build a house, right?"
"Definitely not going to use it, but I'm bored anyway, let's see what Elena does. ”
All three are heartless people, all waiting to see the joke.
More than two hours after the arrival of this group of fugitives, two more men and a woman came.
Judging from the dress, it should be a regular army.
After all, mercenaries don't wear a full body of armor, and the decorative armor of nobles doesn't get scratches.
Tiddelit wasn't very interested, but Chaozhu saw the problem at a glance and said, "Those scratches are recent, and they shouldn't be more than a week." ”
Makoto nodded, and his heart couldn't help but have deeper doubts.
The man and the woman both looked to be in their early twenties.
The man may be a little older, with no beard and a somewhat straight nose, but it's not the hooked nose either.
But Makoto's eyes were on something else.
Of course, since he said something, he was not referring to a woman, but to the horse that the two of them were riding.
It was a thing with four ears and two tails.
They are as tall as horses, but they have a sheep's head.
Their appearance instantly seized Makoto's interest in humans.
He was eager to touch it to see if it was as cute as a horse.
As if sensing Makoto's gaze, the two strange mounts looked at each other and took a slight step back, as if they had seen a predator.
The performance of the mount immediately drew the attention of the two knights, who looked up at it for a moment, swept it over Makoto's body, and placed it on Tidlet.
This petite skeleton is unique enough to clearly attract more attention than Makoto.
The two then withdrew their gazes, but Makoto keenly saw that the corners of the girl's mouth moved slightly, as if she had said a word.
This word is definitely not emotional cute, because their expressions are a little more dignified than just now.
Makoto raised his eyebrows, and then realized that this girl seemed to be quite cute.
