Chapter 154: Rumors
"That's not a coincidence, I was told that this little liar was spreading rumors to discredit the Princh family...... Master Pujok, this matter should have nothing to do with you, right?"
"Young Master Pompey, with this little guy's ability, even if he spreads rumors, how many people's ears can he reach? Besides, smart people can naturally tell what is rumors and what is the truth, do you say yes?"
"You mean that the weak have the right to do evil?" Pompey said with a sneer, "Lord Pujok, there are probably not many smart people in this world. ”
"Haha, there are a lot of people who think they are smart. Pujok replied with a smile: "The little one has already paid the price for his actions, so let's leave it at that." ”
"I'd love to let him go, but he hasn't told me where the rumors come from. ”
"Master Pompeii...... He is an employee of the Medici Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Really, then you should discipline these men well, so that everyone will have less trouble. ”
"Don't worry, I'll take him back and discipline him well. ”
Pompey did not speak again, but quietly looked at Pujok, neither agreeing nor saying against.
Pujok winked, and the knights behind him walked over to Pino.
"Who dares to move!" shouted the big man with the leather whip and stood in front of everyone.
At the same time, a magician in a dark green robe also emerged from the darkness behind Pompeii.
"Young Master Pompeii......"
"Puyok, you probably didn't figure it out. The corners of Pompey's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled evilly: "You are just a dog of the Medici family." ”
"Then I'm a loyal dog," Pujock still smiled. Gently waved his hand and said, "Do it." ”
......
When Rickor knocked on the bedroom door, Donner was in a trance, holding a level 5 scroll. This scroll from the Magic Continent. In addition to a larger area, the elements are drawn more densely. There is nothing out of the ordinary. The primitives on it are even in the style of Middle-earth, each one as rough as an ancient totem.
"Come and see, there's a girl out there on her knees. The half-elf girl said.
"Where is the girl on her knees?" Donner walked out of the bedroom and followed Ruiko to the balcony window.
Sure enough, there was a plainly dressed, somewhat thin girl, kneeling outside the lawn in front of the research institute.
"How long has she been like this, and for what?"
"I don't know, but a knight drove her away, and after a while came again. Reicor replied.
"I'll ask. Donner said as he walked out of the suite. "Don't come along, keep practicing. ”
"Oh......" Ruiko pouted, looking unhappy.
Moen was still working in the lab, and so was Irina, who had become almost Donner's maid after being sent here by Puyok.
"Do you see that girl outside?"
Moen and Irina didn't look out the window, they just looked at Donner in embarrassment and kept silent.
"Well, you already know. Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"She's a friend of Pinault......" Moen replied hesitantly.
"Pino?
“...... The one who invented the foul-smelling potion. ”
"And what is she doing kneeling there?"
"She. She ......"
"What did you do to Pino?"
"We don't, it's not our ......"
"What the hell is going on?
"Master...... My lord, he's injured......" Irina bowed her head. Replied softly.
"Pujok is hurt, what's going on? What's wrong with Pino, what are you hiding from me?"
"Your Excellency doesn't allow us to tell you ......"
Donner frowned, pondered for a moment, and then turned to walk out.
Moen and Irina followed him closely.
......
The girl was dressed in a pauper's cloth. Thin, slightly yellowed face. There are traces of crying just now, and my eyes are puffy because of it. She had just been brought into the institute. When he saw Donner, he wanted to kneel down again, but was pulled by Irina and Moen.
"My lord, save Pino, save Pino......"
"What's wrong with Pinault?" asked Donner.
"He, he was captured by the people of the Plain Chamber of Commerce, they said he spread rumors......"
"Rumors? What is he spreading? ”
"It's about, about the ...... of the magic potion"
"It's this ......," Downer knew, and this so-called rumor was flowing from himself.
"They, they forced Pinault to tell where the rumor came from, and Pinault couldn't tell it...... Sir, save Pino, he's about to be killed......" The girl's tears dripped down her face, and she rushed to kneel for Donna, but this time, Moen and Irina couldn't hold her back, so they had to let her kneel.
"Pujok was injured because of this?" Donner asked with a grim face as he turned to Irina, who hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
"Don't cry, I'll find a way," Donner said softly to the girl, and then to Irina, "Arrange a room for her on the fourth floor and stay first." Tonight, you can stay with her. ”
When he got back to the lab, Donner asked Moen, "Who is Pino? Isn't Pino a pharmacist? How can she have such a poor friend?"
"Master, Pino's family was originally a potions merchant in Nice City. About ten years ago, Pino's father committed suicide after being cheated out of all his savings by an outside potions dealer, and his mother later disappeared. At that time, Pino was still a little boy who didn't know anything, and if it weren't for Doris, oh, just a girl, he would probably have starved to death. ”
"Who is Doris?"
"It was a poor girl adopted by his father who was apprenticed in his shop. ”
"And how did Pinault become a pharmacist?"
"The two of them have been working at the city's potions shop since then, and Pino has only recently passed the Apothecary's Guild test. Hey, it is said that Doris is also very talented, but you can see that she has lost weight like that in order to support Pinault to study pharmacy. ”
When Donner heard this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, the girl must have a heart to repay the favor and want Pino to revive his father's career.
Her efforts were worth it, Donner thought. This child, even if he dies, does not want to tell the source of the so-called "rumor", is a person worthy of trust.
He wasn't going to watch the kid die.
......
In the dead of night, Irina walked down the stairs through the long hallway.
The lurking guards, although a little puzzled by her late night travel, did not step forward to stop her, but only watched her walk out of the gate of the institute, across the lawn, and disappear into the night.
She walked alone on the deserted streets, and for a while, suddenly her figure flickered and changed into the form of Master Soran again.
"I don't need you to maintain it, but if you do, you deserve to be rewarded. (To be continued.) )
