Chapter 154: Money and Human Nature
...... It's horrible that I ran into this one, but luckily nothing happened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hong Qi couldn't help but feel glad for the other party's subordinates, but at the same time, he also had doubts.
It's strange, that demon hunter didn't take me away or kill me, but he actually taught me how to use the demon hunting spirit, either because his luck was too exaggerated, or ......
Thinking of a possibility, Hong Qi suddenly felt amused.
It seems to make sense, if that thing is true, then everything is true, including what the other person said before leaving.
O Paine......
Leaving the wilderness, where no one was seen except Hung Qu, he rested here for the night, and then went early in the morning to look for the chief of the village, Mr. Bourne.
Mr. Bourne, an old man of seventy-five, is said to have been one of the famous guards of the royal city when he was young, and then because he was tired of the corruption of the royal city, he came here to enjoy his leisure, and together with the local minority people, he founded the village and named it Bourne Village.
The old man in front of him looked old, but his body was filled with a fierce aura, although this aura was very deep, Hong Qi could still vaguely feel it.
"Hello, I don't know what to call sir?"
The first to break the silence was Bourne, although he couldn't go down to the field to be busy with farming, he could still do ordinary life, and now he was chatting with Hong Qi while making tea by the way.
"My Majesty, Paines, I just want to ask you, old gentleman, about the stranger who borrowed this place from the same place as I am. ”
"Oh, you mean the guy who is hidden all over his body? I don't know who he is, but I have two pieces of information for you. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Hong Qi, who also stared at each other with a smile.
"Ahem... This one... Many parts of the village currently need to buy materials from other places for repairs, and I wonder if you would like to help support young people. ”
"Ahaha. I'm sorry, I forgot, it looks a little shabby, and I plan to do my part to help make this beautiful place more beautiful. ”
As he spoke, Hong Qi took out a leather bag from his pocket, and when he placed it on the table, he could hear the crisp sound of coins hitting each other.
"This is a little bit of my heart, and I ask you to accept it. ”
"Ahem, this ...... Since you have such kindness, sir, it is not easy for us to refuse. ”
After speaking, the old man slowly took away the bag and put it under the table, but before the bag left Hong Qi's sight, the other party also looked at how many coins there were, and the old man was frightened by the contents at this look.
"It's all golden?!......"
Seeing this, his face suddenly changed, so obvious that Lian Hongqi could easily understand the meaning of the other party's expression, anger.
"How ......"
"Do you want to buy our village for money? If so, forgive me for refusing, I can't compromise on that. ”
Without waiting for Hong Qi to ask, the other party directly stated that he thought Hong Qi intended to give the money, and at the same time expressed his intention to refuse and put the bag on the table.
It's really funny, it seems that the children's "growth" depends on the teachings of the person in front of them.
Seeing this situation, Hong Qi finally knew what the other party thought, he should have misunderstood that Hong Qi said that he wanted to directly acquire this place.
"You always misunderstood, I only give this money for two purposes, the first is that I like this side, if this place can be better so that I will be happier every time I pass by this place, and the second reason I will not hide it, I want to know the two news you just said, the two purposes are worth the price. ”
After saying the reason, the other party suddenly showed an embarrassed look, but it only appeared for a moment, and the next moment he instantly returned to the attitude he had just begun to talk to Hong Qi, and if he felt it carefully, he could even feel that the other party's kindness seemed to be even stronger.
Sure enough, this sentiment arises when people get unearned money.
In the face of these people, Hong Qi regarded them more as the object of experimentation, and this person who heard that he was disgusted with the corruption of the royal city once he left that prosperous area, whether he could stick to his ideas and continue to hate corruption should be regarded as the three purposes of Hong Qidi, and the only purpose to conceal.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Paines, for your help, and I salute you for your contribution on behalf of the whole village, and I'm sure you're impatient with the news I just wanted to tell you, right?"
With that, he turned the conversation to the message he had just wanted to say.
"The guest, though he doesn't seem to be easy to get along with and doesn't usually show up in the village, is the one who has been here for the longest time so far. ”
"Oh, how long?"
"It's been more than two months, and strangely enough, he left the day after you appeared, sir, without saying why. ”
"Are these two messages?"
Hong Qi didn't show any emotion after hearing this, and still just smiled and asked.
"No, there's a second piece of news, and that's that I guess it's supposed to be a woman. ”
"Oh?female?"
Hong Qi couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, although he had long known that the person who was called the Great Sage among the demon hunters was a daughter, but this matter was actually exposed in an ordinary village, which made Hong Qi feel very surprised.
"Because normally we have someone to help clean each other's rooms, and although the man refuses, several of us have several cleaning women with decades of experience who are still very competent to clean the outside of the room. ”
"And then one day, during a cleaning process, there was an extra hair outside the door, a woman's long hair, and many of us can prove why it is a woman. ”
A piece of hair, a long hair, and I don't think I'm a girl because of my long black hair.......
Hong Qi couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this, and at the same time suspected that the other party was just a shrimp.
"I know you're trying to say that it doesn't have to be a woman who has long hair, but the women who live in this village are pretty sure that the owner of the hair is a woman. ”
So it's hard for people in the village to distinguish the truth from the fake in other ways in the face of this kind of thing?
Hong Qi just smiled and listened to the other party's reasoning, while also thinking about the reasons for these actions of the people in the village and the reasons behind them.
Not enough information? No, I don't want to dig into it but love this new information.
Finally, when he came to a conclusion, he interrupted the other party.
"Well, I understand, thank you, Mr. Bourne, for the information, it will be very useful to me, I have business to get to the royal city as soon as possible to-day, so it is almost time to leave now, and let me say goodbye to you and all of you who live in the village of Bourne, and goodbye. ”
"Oh! wait! I'm telling the truth!"
It seems that Hong Qi thinks he has deceived him, and the other party vigorously refutes it.
"No, I believe you, I trust everyone who lives in the village. ”
After saying this, Hong Qi left directly, leaving only Bourne who was stunned on the side.
"Old man Bourne, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, the children came to the room and saw Hong Qi leaving, and they were about to ask about the conversation between them, but the other party said goodbye to them and disappeared.
"Nothing, Grandpa Bourne, etc., have a story to tell you, a story about Mr. Paines, a good man, to show you that in these treacherous times there are still people who do what they consider to be good. ”
Surrounded the children around him, the old man began to tell the content of his story, of course, all this was not a chance to know about the long since left.
Continuing to run quickly, Hong Qi planned to rush directly to Wang Cheng today, which meant that he needed to maintain his speed at the limit and not be able to rest like he did yesterday.
I don't know if this casually obtained information will be useful to me in the future? Forget it, I've written it down anyway.
Thinking about what happened in the village, although it was only a short day, Hong Qi seemed to have a certain understanding of these people.
Humanity......
Along the way, Hong Qi immediately forgot everything he had done before, and focused all his thoughts on the knowledge of magic, for he at the moment there was nothing that could replace magic.
Along the way, we passed through a number of small towns, which are places for many people to rest because of their proximity to the Intrauras, which are basically impossible to find a place to live unless they have a certain background.
Eventually, at night they arrived at Hung Abandon's destination, a small town called Ford, which is the second closest to King Kense, but is as popular as King Kense, as it has plenty of living space to provide travelers with a place to rest and spend the night.
Fortunately, the city gate was not closed at night, so he quickly found an inn to stay in and prepared to go to the royal city.
I'm curious what interesting things will happen to King Kense's City this time?
From the third floor, he looked out at the downtown area not far away, where the people were enjoying the night life, but for Hong Qi, he would rather take a hot bath and fall asleep now, and the sprint for almost the whole day was still too hard for him.
That's right...... I remember what seemed interesting to happen at this time, a month after Tamodu City banned the Dark Forest, so it would be good to check it out.
Hong Qi, who had one more option in his heart, fell asleep in a noisy but comfortable environment at night.
I'm going to see what happens when we meet.
