The night passed peacefully, and the man in black did not reappear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, most of the mercenaries who stayed by the river had already eaten breakfast, packed their luggage and goods and continued on their way. Only some of those who got up late were still preparing breakfast.

Mohe and they had already had breakfast, but several people had no intention of leaving immediately, the tent had not been packed, and the horses were still grazing leisurely beside them.

There is one thing that must be dealt with today before we can continue our journey, and that is the question of the whereabouts and stays of the woman of the Shuiyun Kingdom named Shuiyue.

Before that, the eighth master told everyone about Shui Yue's life experience and the affairs of her hometown Shuiyun Kingdom.

The life experience was what he told him when he communicated with Shuiyue yesterday. The history of Shuiyun Country is mainly for Mo He, a person with an aristocratic status like Ren has been learning the history of various countries since he was a child.

The land of Suyun is an island nation that was first inhabited by fishermen's villages, and later ruled by some of the most heinous criminals who fled here.

This is a world where men are superior to women, and countries with such a social system did not exist in the Eastern continent as early as a thousand years ago.

The women of Shuiyun are very unlucky, most of them are born slaves, for people to play and trade, and only a few lucky ones can get married and have children. The women of Shuiyun Country are all surnamed Shui, and the men are surnamed Yun. Men have the right to inherit, women do not.

Suigetsu was born in such a country.

Because her mother was born beautiful and was regarded as a pet slave by her master, she was able to give birth to a pregnant water moon.

Shui Yue lived with her mother until she was four years old, and after she was four years old, she was taken away from her mother by someone sent by her master to train as a special Shui Yun female assassin. This made her lucky that she was not violated until the age of fourteen.

After Shui Yue was fourteen years old, she was favored by a large nobleman who came to visit another country to support her master's forces.

Because she is not yet sixteen years old, and the Shui Yun Female Assassin ceremony has not been carried out, she is not a qualified Shui Yun Female Assassin. So her mother was given to the great nobles of this foreign country together.

Although the slavery law has long been abolished on the mainland, people can buy and sell slaves in the Water Moon Country, and they cannot be treated as slaves after being brought back to their home countries, but they can be called as personal attendants.

On the surface, there is more personal freedom than that of a slave, but in reality it is still a slave.

The new master raped Mizuki on the first day, and she had been trained to be a Shuiyun assassin who completely obeyed her master's orders since she was a child, so she did not resist her master's atrocities.

The next day, his new master brought Suizuki's mother to her in accordance with the graduation ceremony of the female Assassin of Suzuki, and demanded that Suizuki kill her own mother with her own hands, as a sign that she had no personal feelings at all and was loyal to her master.

When her mother was brought to her eyes, Mizuki had already recognized her mother, and although she had been taken away for ruthless training at the age of four, there was still a corner in her heart where her mother's memories were stored.

When the new master ordered her to do it, she was horrified to find that she had obediently grasped the sword handed by the new master, ready to deal a fatal blow to her mother.

Shuiyue's mother, who also recognized her daughter, was very strong, and she didn't say a word to her daughter.

It wasn't until he was pierced through his chest by his daughter's sword that he smiled and called out his daughter's name, Shui Yue.

At that moment, a certain chain in Shui Yue's heart broke.

The new owner was very satisfied with Shui Yue's performance, and took her as a personal attendant, taking her with him and often going in and out of other noble places. At the same time, Suigetsu has also become a tool for him to vent his desires and anger.

The new master only communicated with her in Shuiyun Chinese, except for a group of Shuiyun male assassins who were given to the new master by the old master, most of them could not communicate with her, and Shuiyue had to endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity to avenge her mother.

Soon the opportunity arose, and the new master held a large holiday ball at home, and she carried the drunk master back to her room alone, while the new master's wife and children were still entertaining guests, and there were no other guards around to follow the guards.

Shui Yue took down a pair of Shuiyun National Swords from the new master's bedroom and stabbed the new owner to death in the bed.

She then kills two guards who interrogate her and escapes over the wall to the new owner's mansion.

Unable to speak the language and wanted everywhere, Shui Yue could only hide in the mountains, feeding on wild vegetables and wild small animals, and lived like this for several months.

Later, her whereabouts were discovered by a large number of Shuiyun Assassins sent by the new master's family, and she had no choice but to escape from the mountains and hide in a crowded city. After two full years of escape, she fled to the Rongen Empire to meet Mo He and others.

This is the story of the water moon.

After the eighth master finished speaking, he looked at Mo He, Mo He knew that it was time to decide whether Shui Yue would go or stay.

"Maybe Suizuki is willing to stay, but I don't approve of Suizuki staying. She's involved in something too complicated, and I can't let Shaanna get involved in something like this. Mo He directly opened his mouth to surface his attitude, he was very sympathetic to what happened to this Shuiyue girl, but it was only sympathy, let him risk involving Sha Anna and everyone in this kind of thing, he didn't agree.

"No! I don't agree with Mo He. I think we can help this girl. All she had to do was change her outfit and follow us, and maybe those people wouldn't be able to spot her. Even if we were to find out, we would have killed the Assassin they had sent, and we might have been on the list to hunt her down, and it wouldn't make much difference between keeping her and not leaving her. ”

It was Wren who spoke, he was a little angry at Mo He's coldness, although this anger was unreasonable, but he just couldn't let go, he suppressed this anger and finished his thoughts.

"Hmm!" Mo He nodded, and then asked the eighth master: "What do you think, eighth master?"

"I, emotionally, I want to help this water moon girl. But reason told me not to meddle in such a thing. This kind of thing is entangled, you kill me, I kill you, there is no end. I just want to be happy and have a good time with Miss Shaanna. So I, like Mo He, don't approve of taking Shui Yue in. ”

The eighth master is the person who communicates with Shui Yue the most, and when he saw the two chatting very harmoniously before, he thought that the eighth master would take Shui Yue in. But hearing his categorical refusal, the anger in Wren's heart lit up, and he had an impulse to leave with Shuiyue himself, and the two of them returned to the Duchy of Stennis together, so as not to worry about staying with indifferent people.

Although Wren was restless inside, another thought lingered in his mind and calmed him down. He can't be carried away by anger, how can the eighth master and Mo He be indifferent people, one has just risked his life to help him walk around the inner city, and the other is a benefactor who helped pull himself out of the corpse pile on the battlefield and pick up a life, how can such a person be an indifferent person?

A messy Wren inserted his sword into the scabbard of his shield, and with the whole shield on his back, he sat down in front of the tent where he slept at night.

Shui Yue has been sitting quietly in the tent, and she has been kneeling in it since breakfast, like a well-behaved porcelain doll. This is very similar to Shaanna in quiet times.

Shui Yue heard Mo He and them talking, but she didn't understand, and she only guessed her current situation through the expressions of several people.

From Wren's sullen solitary solitary tent, he didn't seem to be welcomed by everyone.

"Let's listen to Shaanna. Sha Anna, do you like this Sister Shuiyue?" Mo He knew that Ren was in a mood, but it was not easy to comfort him now, he asked Sha Anna, who had been playing with fire next to him and occasionally listening to their chat, and then secretly glanced at Sha Anna who was kneeling in the tent.

"Mmmmmmmmmm Shaanna looked back at the water moon in the tent, then at Mo He, nodded and said.

"What should I do? The two agreed, and the two disagreed. The eighth master unplugged the wine gourd, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and then held the gourd and motioned for Wren to take a sip as well, but Wren shook his hand politely, indicating that he was not in the mood to drink.

The eighth master estimated that Mo He would not drink in this situation now, so he stuffed the wine gourd again and wrapped it back on the cane.

"There's only one way, it's up to God's will. Mo He asked Sha Anna to go and get a copper coin from the package.

"See the will of heaven?" The eighth master asked out loud when he heard this word for the first time, and Ren also looked strangely at Sha Anna and took a copper coin and handed it to Mo He.

"The copper coin in my hand has the text on the obverse, and the pattern on the side is the reverse. When we throw it into the air, and when it falls to the ground, if it is face up, it means that the heavens agree to the joining of the water moon girl. If it is the reverse side up, it means that the heavens do not agree to the joining of the Water Moon Girl. ”

Mo He flipped over the copper coin and explained to the eighth master and Wren.

"Oh, haha! Do you mean to ask the god of Ao Tian to make the final decision? Interesting! What do you think, Renne?" The eighth master understood Mo He's words, and found this statement interesting, the first time someone called listening to the will of God a matter of heaven.

"Well, that's fine! I have no objection to listening to the god of Aotian. Wren stood up and came to Mo He and the eighth master, and everyone participated in this sacred ritual of asking the gods for instructions.

Mo He put the copper coin on the back of his hand, then the palm of the eighth master covered it, then the palm of Wren's hand, and finally the little girl Sha Anna also participated, her hand covered on the top.

Then several people went up and down together, and their palms were three times, and finally everyone let go together to let Mo He throw the copper coin into the air.

Everyone watched as the copper coin tumbled up and then tumbled and fell.

When it hit the ground, the coin shook along with the fine sand particles around it, and then it was covered and did not move.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the coin, this was the decision of the god of Okuten to stay with the Suigetsu girl, and everyone wanted to know what the final choice was.

At this time, Shui Yue, who was decided to stay, was still sitting quietly in the tent, and she watched the actions of the four people outside, although she had never seen what they were doing before, but her intuition told her that it was related to herself.
