"Why did you come back?" asked Monchi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do I look like I want to come back?" Ada, who had just walked out of the dense woods, asked breathlessly, her eyes catching the corpse behind the boxer, and she couldn't help asking, "What did you do?"
In the slightly harsh afternoon sun, although she hid her consternation well, Monchi still caught the unnatural twitches that flashed on her face. By this time, the discomfort of the first killing had faded, or rather, he had no discomfort in the first place. The first successful resistance, the smell of blood did not hide the comfort in the heart.
"I killed it. Monchi replied in a very flat tone, like the calm waters of a lake not far away.
The female thief brushed her messy hair while running: "It seems that everyone is underestimating you, how did you do it?"
"It seems like I asked the question first. β
"Of course," Ada's tone was inadvertently better now than before, "You should know Leo, right?"
"Unforgettable faces. He said that he remembered that the guy who called himself the overlord once slapped him.
"I think so," the female thief said, there shouldn't be anyone who didn't know that ugly face in Chuxin Duan, "then you should also know that he has the ability to kill me, or you." β
Although it is indeed an undeniable fact that "I will not let him find mine." Monchi replied that the Jedi counterattack had given him a great encouragement, and it made the answer sound like a confidence that he had been absent for a long time.
"Don't be stupid, of course he will. Ida let out a crunchy laugh.
This made Meng Qi nervously take a step back, looking at her vigilantly, his hands ready to put on the back of his fist at any time.
The female thief's sharp eyes had already seen Meng Qi's small movements, but she still said without changing her face: "What are you nervous about?" Saying this, in fact, she was also a little nervous in her heart, not so much nervous as a little uncomfortable, the person in front of her may no longer be the tender chicken, facing the same face as before, she felt like she was talking to another person.
"Someone will take him to you, but that person is not me. Ada continued.
"Who is he?" intuition told Monchi that the female thief knew the man she was talking about.
And the female thief did not reserve: "Another thief, my good classmate." He had made a hunting mark on each of us long before he entered the wasteland, it was his natural combat skill, and with his current level, you would definitely not be able to find the mark. Follow that mark and they'll be able to find you in no time. β
Meng Qi looked at the other party's bloodstained shoulder: "It seems that they found you first." β
"yes. She also admitted it very simply, which could not be more obvious, and there was no need to hide it.
"So, do you want to join forces with me?" said that, of course, Monchi understood the other party's intentions. "Everyone says that in the trial of death, only fools cooperate. β
"Yes, but a pair of fools have already appeared. And I, I don't want to be killed by fools. As she spoke, Ada held out her hand to him, her leather fingerless gloves still stained with blood. "Come on, for your life. β
After waiting for less than a second, another somewhat rough palm slapped up. "To stay alive. He said.
Ida was stunned by the decisiveness that barely hesitated for a moment, and it was much smoother than expected.
"But I don't think the two of us can handle them. As soon as the cooperation was established, Monchi immediately said a dejected word.
The female thief replied angrily, "But this is our only chance now, isn't it? At least you won't die alone." β
Listen to Haizhen No. 8 Street
It was nearly evening, and Xiaguang pulled a yellow tablecloth for a dinner party on the street. After a busy day's work, the fishermen came from the direction of the coast in twos and threes, and after putting down their work, they could finally show a relaxed look in the warm twilight, laughing and talking about the interesting things they were fortunate to remember.
For these people, this is the end of the day, while for others it is just the real beginning of the day.
Of course, the beginning doesn't have to be a pleasant one.
Basket Wine Bay, a tavern in Tinghai Town. Franks, who was sitting in it, swallowed a sip of the wine in the glass, which washed away some of the boredom in his mind, and the gorgeous girl next to him seemed to see his displeasure today, and did not say much, just quietly accompanied him.
The kind of wine he drank may only be blended by people who have seen the dragon heart sea, and only those who have seen the sea can drink it, it is called the salty sea breeze.
Not everyone is accustomed to drinking alcohol with a faint salty taste in their mouths, and the mercenaries from outside have quarreled with the boss more than once over this, believing that the black-hearted tavern owner has mixed the wine with seawater.
And those who understand know that it is only a drunk man can say it, and the special taste of blue wine is nothing more than a seaweed that is a specialty of the Dragon's Heart Sea. Although the saltiness is a bit strange at first, in fact, the original mellow aroma of the ale can be doubled under the effect of the seaweed, and after drinking, you can even smell a faint grass aroma in the nose, which is somewhat like the smell of the sea breeze.
Of course, people who don't know how to taste will not spend more than a dozen copper coins to drink it, and those who know how to taste it, such as Franks, can't wait to take another sip after one sip.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind, and the violent shaking caused the blue wine in the glass to spill onto the skirt of the wine girl beside him. This annoyed Franks a little, as the two things he cared about had been violated.
He glanced back at the culprit and knew who it was, without thinking: "Larry, I said, I don't like this. β
"Who cares, do I like it?" the visitor sat down next to him, "more concerned about how your mission is going, and hasn't it been solved yet?"
Frank's unhappiness that had just been suppressed by alcohol was hooked up again, indeed, it stands to reason that he should have completed such a difficult task by this time. But in reality, he hadn't even gone to the magic apprentice yet.
It was easy to investigate the apprentice of that magic school, and it didn't take much effort to find most of the information about that magic apprentice, and what he needed was really just the range of the other party's activities. Then find the right moment to get the other party out of the way quickly.
Normally, he could accomplish more than one such task in a day, but this time, after the message of his goal. He hesitated, that guy, such a brilliant apprentice magician, was just a civilian, a civilian like himself.
For some reason, he suddenly wavered, did he really kill him? Does that make sense of everything that pushed him to where he is now? A question that made him think about it all day.
Think about it, let me think again. He kept saying this to himself until finally he couldn't resist sitting down at the bar and having a drink.
After drying the woman's skirt, he glared at Larry beside him: "My business, it seems that you can't take care of it, right?"
"It's going to be soon," said Larry, leaning over his ear, "my brother has already spoken, and Stu has agreedβbecause this mission is so important, whoever finishes it first will be the domain of Basket Wine Bay." β
Franks' eyes widened at the whisper of the other man, but the message contained in that sentence was not as light as the voice that carried it, and the huge impact it caused made him lose his sense of wine. He glared at the other party and said, "Don't think that Hearn is your brother, you can do whatever you want." β
"Of course I can. Larry smiled arrogantly, then snatched the wine glass from Franks' hand and drank the remaining salty sea breeze, "I can't find the whereabouts of that kid for the time being, when he appears, I will get him as soon as possible, and then, this is mine, the wine is mine, and you, who drink, of course, are also under my jurisdiction." β
Angry, Franks found himself unable to do anything but stare at each other.
Larry straightened up, "And you, baby." As he left, he didn't forget to put his dirty paws on the face of the wine girl beside Franx.
But this time, it was stopped by the arm that had always been strong. "I'll make you regret it!"
Larry shook his head and smiled disdainfully, and withdrew his hand: "We'll see." With that, he glanced at the girl with a sinister gaze and swaggered away with a few of his men.
"Franks ......" It was only then that the touching girl called out his name in her soft voice.
"It's okay, Beth, everything will be fine. Looking at the appearance of her eyes cutting water, Franks couldn't help but hug her tightly in her arms and carefully soothe.
But in fact, the waves in his heart have not calmed down, and he didn't expect that his efforts for so long would be in vain in a word. A simple word of consent can take away the treasure that he cares for, is everything really meaningful?
'Think, let me think again......'
