Chapter Twenty-Eight: Let Go of the Girl
Although the old man had made his worries very clear, the skeleton still did not mean to take back the gold coin, because for the skeleton, there was no reason to take back what was given away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the skeleton also took into account the old man's worries, in order not to embarrass him, the skeleton snapped its fingers, and the magic surged, and the gold coin in the old man's hand instantly broke out of its control and was suspended in mid-air.
The skeleton flicked its thumb, and in an instant, the gold coin suspended in mid-air melted into gold water, and the skeleton's palm was gently clenched again, and in the blink of an eye, the gold water suspended in mid-air condensed into several plump and round golden beans.
The skeleton chuckled, "That's it, it's okay!"
As he spoke, the skeleton waved his hand, and the golden beans shot back into the old man's hand.
The old man looked at the golden beans in his hand and said with some regret: "It's a pity that a beautiful gold coin has become these beans!"
The skeleton smiled lightly, "No matter how good it is, it can't be used, so what is its value?"
"That's right!" the old man is also an open-minded person, and after figuring out the joints, he laughed heartily and said: "The things that can't be used are not as good as scrap iron, what's the point of falling in love?
The skeleton smiled indifferently, if all these golden beans were used to rebuild the village, then it would have almost won the "heart" of the villagers, so it was time to prepare to "take over" the management of the village.
Just as he was about to find a proper reason to "control" the village, suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves trampling could be heard in the skeleton's ears.
The skeleton's heart moved, and suddenly remembered that there was a group of "knights" behind him who were being hunted down, and he originally thought that it would take a while for them to reach here, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
"It seems that the horses they are riding are not ordinary!" the skeleton sighed inwardly.
The old man and the villagers didn't have the good hearing of skeletons, but when they saw the skeletons that obviously had something to say, they suddenly paused their accents, and they looked like they were listening, and suddenly a suppressed inexplicable panic grew in their hearts.
"Master Magician...... How...... What's wrong?" Finally, it was the old man who had spoken earlier who broke the silence, and his trembling voice was filled with nervousness and worry.
"Hmm......," the skeleton said lightly, "there's a group of people coming!"
"Ahh
"How so!"
", what kind of people are this!"
"What to do...... What should I do?"
"Could it be the same party of the gang just now......?"
......
Suddenly, the villagers and survivors, who had been quite silent, instantly became noisy.
The skeleton looked at it coldly, not saying a word.
Finally, everyone's eyes focused on the skeleton's body, and everyone looked at him expectantly, hoping for redemption.
The skeleton looked at the eager eyes of the villagers, and intuitively thought that this was a good opportunity to "close" people's hearts, so he immediately ordered: "You guys first find a hidden place to hide, and I will meet them!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
......
The voices of thanks came one after another, and the skeleton couldn't help but smile knowingly.
After all the villagers hid their figures, the knights had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
Looking up, the skeleton saw that the number of knights was significantly smaller than when they had previously appeared in Potter's "Mirror Image", and that most of them were covered in blood, indicating that they had been caught up by their pursuers and engaged in a fight with them.
As the skeletons scrutinized them, the Knights were all on their backs, for in front of the ruined village stood a mysterious figure with a hidden face, two beautiful women who were not like mortals, and a deformed man with a big waist but a small head, who did not look like good people at all.
While the two sides were silently watching each other, the little girl who was protected by the knights in the center suddenly struck her horse forward, and asked in a coquettish voice full of righteous indignation: "Who are you? Are you also the scum of lackeys who have defected to other races? Are you also the scoundrel who came to kill me with no conscience? If so, you can come and kill me directly on the basis of your ability, why should you involve innocent people and do such an inhumane thing?"
The knights beside him saw the little girl coming out of the crowd, and they followed closely behind, closely watching the actions of the skeleton and the others, for fear that the skeleton and the others would break out.
One of the knights guarding him looked at the skeleton with disdain and said to the little girl: "What is there to say about such a man who has lost his conscience and has no ancestors and no ancestors? Can such a wicked person still be reformed? He has long since lost his humanity, and it is a waste ......of words to talk to him."
"Enough ants!" the scolded skeleton didn't say anything, but Orihime couldn't help but burst out angrily, "Do you know who you're talking to? Ignorant mortals, don't give me death......" As she spoke, Orihime's right hand tried to stroke the "Shield Shun Six Flowers" in her hair.
"Stop!" Skeleton stopped Orihime's frenzy and said in a mocking tone, "I don't care, what are you angry about?"
"But......" Orihime argued eagerly, "how dare this maggot-like scum insult your honorable ...... This...... It's ......."
"I know, I understand, I know your loyalty and resentment!" the skeleton smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Orihime's incoherent speech, and said playfully, "As you just said, he is just a maggot scum, in that case, why should we be like a worm?"
"No! no!" Orihime waved her hand in fright and explained, "I didn't mean that! I didn't mean to blaspheme you......! How is that possible...... Such vulgar words should not appear in your ears, it is simply blasphemous...... No! no! no...... It's blasphemous......!"
"Alright! Alright!" The skeleton interrupted Orihime, who had been dyed with crying, reached out and touched Orihime's fluffy hair, and smiled and comforted: "I have already said that I have received your loyalty and resentment, so in front of me, there is no need to be so trembling and cautious, you know, you are all my family!"
"Ahh?......h How can we be your family......?
"Hehehehe......" the skeleton laughed happily, "I said it's family, it's family!
"How dare you!" Orihime hurriedly waved her hand in denial, and said with some emotion, "It's really an honor for me to be your family!"
On the other side, the knightly face of the sarcastic skeleton was flushed, and it was already indignant enough to be said to be a maggot, but for the sake of the other party being a beautiful girl, he endured it and didn't say anything, in order to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in front of the other party, but now it's good, the other party not only becomes more and more addicted to it, but also becomes the object of her ridicule with another man, which is simply unbearable! What's even more odious is that the demeanor between them is still so intimate, doesn't it seem that his previous forbearance is like a fool?
Jealousy and anger filled the knight's heart, and he finally cried out, "Let go of that girl!
