Chapter 19: Anger
The conversation with the man is over.
The living room was scaryly quiet.
Ronald and Nessos both stood in place and were silent, only Thomson, who had just negotiated with the man, still had the joy of seeing the hope of survival on his face, and he even wanted to tell the other two good news.
"Two, we ......"
"All right, Thomson." Nessos directly interrupted the merchant, "You don't know these things after all, so I'm not going to complain about your recklessness, but there is only one thing, please don't make your own decisions when you act next." ”
"Huh?"
In the face of Nessos's clear rebuke, Thomson did not react at the first time.
But soon, the middle-aged businessman, who thought he understood everything, showed a sudden realization on his face.
"No, no, no, you can't do that, Nessos."
"It's understandable that we abandoned our companions and ran away alone, but now that we can help this poor father and his daughter, why should we refuse?"
It turned out to be in Thomson's understanding.
He believes that Nessos and Ronald were planning to abandon the father and daughter and run away on their own......
It's stupid!
"Tsk-"
Angrily spitting on the floor, Nessos took two quick steps to Thomson.
Before the merchant could react, he grabbed the other man's collar with one hand and lifted the middle-aged man directly from the porch floor with a rough movement.
"I said ......"
"Don't you want to live anymore?"
A dazed-looking Thomson stared at Nessos in horror, and in the steel-blue pupils of his companion, he saw utter anger......
And the murderous intent hidden at the bottom of the expression!
"Nai...... Nessos! ”
"What do you want to do? Can you put me down first? ”
"Aren't we companions?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in his hand, he still didn't realize his mistake, and Nessos could even feel his own blood gushing up:
"Who will ....."
At this time, Ronald came over and patted Nessos on the shoulder:
"Well, it's useless to be angry with him now."
"It's better to save some effort and think about what we should do next."
Bang Bang –
Following Ronald's persuasion, Nessos let go and let the merchant fall to the ground, and cursed through gritted teeth:
"What else?"
"Since this guy agreed to the other party's request, let him save the 'person' by himself!"
Speaking of which, Nessos was even more angry.
Pointing to Thomson on the ground, he continued to sigh at Ronald beside him:
"You've been negotiating with the other party for so long, and this guy didn't even notice that you never agreed to any of the other party's demands throughout the conversation! Even the livestock in Maria's Manor would not send themselves to the chopping block in such a stupid manner! ”
As soon as the words came out, Thomson on the ground was stunned.
Thinking about it carefully, when Ronald talked to that man before, it seemed that he really didn't agree to any requests from the other party.
Because Ronald dominates the rhythm of the conversation, before he interjects.
Basically, Ronald asked, and then the other party answered, and even if the man asked, Ronald was vague by changing the subject.
All the words that directly agree to the other party's request are all said by yourself!
Is there really something wrong with you?
“......”
Fragmented, Thomson began to defend himself:
"I ...... I didn't mean to! ”
"Besides, the other party is not a bad person......"
"Enough!"
Nessos directly interrupted Thomson's defense:
"Didn't you see what that woman was eroded into just now?"
"According to the meaning of that man's words, as the direct holder of the magic guide book, why is this guy a normal person?"
"Is his plea so worthy of your trust?"
“......”
Three consecutive questions full of anger, Thomson was completely dumbfounded.
It was precisely because of these words that Ronald took a deep look at Nessos.
- I don't get to the point, but this guy knows a lot.
After a moment of contemplation, Ronald asked:
"So, we must now act as the conversation requires?"
"Not necessarily." Nessos shook his head, "But just in case, there may be a hidden contract in the other party's way of talking, and although the effect is not too strong, it is definitely a trouble." ”
After explaining to Ronald, Nessos gave Thomson another fierce look.
"Bad guys."
"Hug ...... Sorry......"
This time, Thomson also realized his mistake and stopped justifying himself as he did before.
"So what do we do now?"
"Ahh
Suddenly, a merchant who got up from the ground seemed to think of something in his frightened eyes:
"We're talking here, won't that person be heard?"
"Ahh
Ronald sighed.
said that this guy is smart, and it was no longer fun when the bad thing happened just now; I should call this guy stupid, he wasn't so stupid as thoroughly.
Waving his hand weakly, he still opened his mouth to explain:
"Don't worry, this guy doesn't have the ability to keep an eye on us all the time."
"Otherwise, he can contact us in this way the moment he enters the mansion."
Listening to Ronald's explanation, Thomson was still not at ease:
"But he ......"
"It's nothing." Ronald shook his head: "Think about it, when did this guy contact us. ”
"When will it ......"
"While we're on the run."
"More accurate." Listening to the two people's questions and answers, Nessos also helped to explain, "It was we who alarmed the mad woman, and this guy contacted us after she made a noise. ”
"Take a step back."
"If he can keep an eye on us all the time, he will theoretically be able to keep a perfect grasp of his wife's movements. In that case, do you need us to help him save his daughter? ”
“......”
In this way, Thomson understood thoroughly.
"So as long as we don't make a movement in the future, we basically won't attract his attention."
Nessos was a little speechless, but nodded anyway:
"You can ...... that way"
"Alright, let's hurry up."
At this time, Ronald pointed out the window to the night.
Exploring the second floor and negotiating with the man, there was a delay on both sides, and the time had almost passed a quarter of an hour.
Under the continuous erosion of the black fog, there was no view around the Black Mountain, and the rolling darkness was almost a step away from the outermost garden of the mansion.
"Let's go."
Seeing the swarthy patch outside the window, Nessos immediately understood what Ronald meant.
Picking up his lamp and walking out, he was still at the front of the line.
Immediately after, Thomson followed.
“......”
Ronald, who was left last, looked thoughtfully at the living room.
Picking out a few pieces of wood by the fireplace, he followed.
