Why do you do good deeds, but in the end you are a sinner?

Paladin thought about this question from Chino for a long time, and he didn't think it through from morning to night.

That night, Lugo was nowhere to be found, and only Baixa went out for a drink with Paladin.

The two of you drank a cup and I drank until the middle of the night, and each person drank more than four catties of fruit wine of various degrees, and he was so drunk that he couldn't straighten his tongue.

Baisa shook his head and added another glass of wine, saluted Paladin, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Brother, admire!" I... Hiccup - still the same sentence, the doorman of the Trojan family should be - when the street is making trouble, you dare to kill him directly, just rush to this, I, I Baiza, will be a good brother to you for life! Lao Tzu's most annoying bully! ”

Paladin drunkenly said, "Huh." If it weren't—if it weren't—Mistress Chino would protect me, and my life would be over. Come to the tomb and pay your respects to me. ”

After speaking, he grabbed the wine jug and poured it directly.

Halfway through the pouring, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, only to feel his stomach tumbling over, hanging his head and starting to vomit: "Vomit!" Gross-"

Baixa laughed and kept slapping the table: "Hahahahaha! Just like you, you still said that you want to get drunk with me today? Let's practice for a few more years~"

Paladin staggered to his feet: "Head, head headache." I-won't drink with you, it, I can't drink you. I'll go back first. ”

Baiza also stood up: "I'll send you back, otherwise you won't be able to recognize the way later, and you will stumble and fall into the dung pit." ”

"you!" Paladin grabbed a pork chop from the table and staggered out, "You drink slowly, I'm going, go blow the wind, don't follow." ”

Dogurand was a big country in alcohol, from the king to the commoners, who loved to drink.

Even the most marginal towns like Shilin have taverns, and they are crowded at night, let alone a main city like Twilight.

It was midnight, and everyone was still immersed in the joy of drinking, sharing the harvest of the whole day with friends and chatting about the interesting things of the recent days.

The city is full of laughter and lights.

Paladin nibbled on the pork chops as he walked back.

He planned to go back to the government residence directly, but maybe he was too drunk and didn't know the way, so he walked and walked to the slum of Beicheng.

Two ragged children rummaged through a pile of garbage and found food on the corner of the alley with dim kerosene lamps, who had no home and could not even eat enough, and could only pray to a nobleman who would dump the leftovers into the garbage heap so that they could have a full meal.

Don't think it's miserable.

There are many aristocrats in Twilight, and they usually have a full table for their meals, many dishes are taken out and thrown away without a few bites, and if you are lucky, you can even find a roast suckling pig in the garbage heap that only eats one or two bites, which makes people feast.

If you can eat meat, your quality of life has exceeded 40% of the people, which is half of the "copper moon class".

No, the two children rummaged through the garbage heap and found the leftover roast chicken, and the little boy who took the lead unceremoniously snatched it up and gnawed it, leaving the little girl to watch from the side, hoping that the little boy would eat the leftover and give it to her.

In order to get the whole chicken wings for a while, the little girl stammered: "Big brother, you are so powerful, you actually dared to steal the wallet of the young master of Troy in the morning, and you escaped." ”

"Holy, he had his back to me at the time, who knew he was Young Master Troy? As soon as I bumped into it, I regretted that my intestines were blue! The little boy ate a chicken leg clean, and when the little girl was hungry, he tore off one of the wings, broke them in the middle, and handed them over.

The little girl nodded, took the little wings and ate them with relish.

The little boy was the child who was rescued by Paladin in the morning, he smacked the oil on his fingers, there was no innocent and pitiful appearance, but there was a kind of maturity of the old rivers and lakes between his eyebrows, and he scolded and scolded: "Fortunately, a fool made a fight with them, I had to take advantage of the chaos to slip away, otherwise, I am afraid that my head has been hung on the street lamp." ”

The little girl smiled flatteringly: "Big brother is really wise! What happened to that man? ”

"God knows that if you provoke Young Master Troy, you must be beheaded." The little boy's words were full of banter, and he said in a strange manner, "I heard that he is a new centurion, I really don't know where he got the courage, the little centurion actually dares to contradict the Trojan family, and he doesn't look at his status, but he is just a dog of the administrator." ”

The little girl was eating chicken wings and pouting: "That's it!" If I were an administrator, I wouldn't want such a stupid dog! ”

"I guess he probably thought he was a hero. Didn't you see that he was like this at the time-" The little boy jumped up, posed as an orangutan walking, learned to bark like an ape in his mouth, and deliberately said in an urn voice, "Roar roar roar ~ But what about attacking the centurion of Twilight City?" Arrest you immediately, or I have the right to kill you on the spot!" ”

"Aha!!" The two laughed wildly and slapped their thighs, and continued to talk and laugh and eat roast chicken.

"Click, click, click..."Heavy footsteps came into the alley, getting closer and closer to them.

The two children quickly stuffed the roast chicken into their pockets and stood in front of the garbage heap grinning to warn visitors that this was their territory.

The tall figure approached, Paladin's face emerging from the darkness and becoming clear, and the kerosene lamp on the side of the road illuminated the lingering coldness in his pupils.

"It's you... You're not dead..."The little boy's eyes were uncertain, he didn't know if Paladin had heard their conversation just now, he hurriedly changed to a weak look, leaned over and said, "Uncle, we meet again, thank you for saving me today, I will definitely repay you when I grow up!" ”

Seeing that Paladin was silent, the little boy and the little girl became more and more nervous, and their eyes wandered, as if they were looking for a way to escape.

But the location of Paladin Station is delicate, and it directly seals off all routes that can be used for escape.

Paladin: "Thank you. ”

"Huh?" The little boy was stunned, "Thanks... Thanks for what? ”

"Thanks to you, I figured out the question that the Administrator threw at me. Why did I do good deeds, but in the end I ended up being a sinner? Paladin's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at the two children as if he were looking at two corpses, "because the truth is always in the hands of those in power." Whether a thing is right or wrong has nothing to do with the matter itself, it only depends on the identity and status of both parties. High status, that's right. Low status, even if you do good deeds, it is wrong. ”

"If the Administrator hadn't protected me today, and I had been executed by the Trojans, I would not have become a hero that everyone sang about and acted for. On the contrary, I will be ridiculed by you ungrateful bastards and used as a talking point at dinner. The life I have paid is not worth a single iron month in your eyes, it is just a capital to show off to my companions. ”

"My mistake was that I didn't have a high enough status! The strength is not strong enough! I don't have power in my hands, but I still want to save you, a beast that is not as good as you! Do you know what it's like to be pressed to the ground with your life like a bargaining chip? Do you know what it's like to be treated like a wild dog on the street by someone in a position of dignity, who can be beaten and slaughtered whenever you want?! ”

The muscles on Paladin's face twitched with excessive anger, and there were even tears welling up in his eyes, he wiped them away, poked his neck hard, and hissed resolutely: "I swear, I will never be held to my neck with a knife again in my life!" ”

When he saw the blood in Paladin's eyes, the little boy was completely panicked: "Uncle! I know it's wrong! You let me go! ”

Paladin drew his saber, so cold that he didn't have a trace of emotion: "Do you have a knife?" ”

"Huh?"

"Are there any knives?!"

The little boy took out a knife from his arms with trembling hands: "Yes... Chicken bones..."

"Give it to me!"

The little boy shuddered and handed the knife over.

Paladin snatched the knife and stabbed him in the back under the stunned gaze of the two.

"Poof!"

Paladin grimaced, pulled out the blood-stained knife and threw it at their feet, his eyes fierce as evil spirits: "You two, dare to attack the centurion of Twilight? Now, in accordance with the Doguland Public Order Regulations, the two of you will be killed on the spot!! ”
