Chapter 885: Discussing countermeasures
In each of his actions, Rowan focuses on one additional thing, and that is to find the source of the sense of disobedience he feels.
Soon, he realized that something was wrong. Because of the large number of children, the amount of food they steal is quite large. In this case, it is impossible for the owner to go unnoticed. This is what Rowan has always been most worried about. When the magician finds out, what will he do with his own group?
But the theft day by day not only did the owner have no reaction, but the food in the kitchen changed from bread, fruit, and milk to some dried meat, dried fish, and pickled vegetables in addition to the aforementioned things. To put it simply, there are more foods that can be eaten without cooking.
There can only be one explanation for this, that is, the actions of a group of people have long been discovered! What they got was specially prepared by the other party. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much dry food in the kitchen. In the beginning, there wasn't much bread or anything.
After realizing this fact, Rowan became a little restless, and even the originally delicious food was not fragrant. He only hoped that he had guessed wrong, that kind of inference, just thinking too much.
But as long as people are suspicious, it is difficult to dispel them. This is true for adults, but also for children with relatively simple minds. Maybe the children's symptoms won't be so severe, but Rowan can't help but think about the environment he is in. Because people who are too simple have starved to death on the side of the road a long time ago.
Maybe it was too big for Rowan to make up his mind, so he found a time, got all the children together, and told what he had found. Children may be limited by the breadth of knowledge and the accumulation of experience, so they are not sensitive enough to many things. But that doesn't mean they're stupid, as long as someone comes up with an introduction, they can naturally find more evidence.
The conclusion is that there is a good chance that they have been discovered.
"So, what are we going to do?" One of the kids asked nonsense.
At this point, the children are divided into two groups, one looking at Rowan, who is suspicious, and the other looking at Ezio, who has led him into the ditch. However, the two children didn't have a good way, and Ezio even thought about it, saying, "Maybe it's just your delusion, boss, but we still haven't found out." ”
"That's your home, Ezio." Rowan uttered another of his inferences.
As soon as the words came out, the child who couldn't hide his expression immediately collapsed, and Rowan knew that he had guessed correctly. He asked, "Why did you leave your home, young master of a rich family?" ”
Ezio gritted his teeth, but decided to confess, saying, "That's not my home. It's not what any of you think, I'm just an orphan living in that place with my grandfather. ”
"What's going on?" This is the question that most people have.
Since Ezio decided to confess, he did not hide it, but explained what he knew about his life to all the children. Anyway, it's not complicated, it's an orphan on the snowy mountain, and he was adopted by the black dragon first; Then he connected to the black dragon and was picked up by the magician and brought home.
All the people in that family did not hide these things from him. It is precisely because he understands that he does not belong in that family, so Ezio is even more eager for love. Those out-of-the-ordinary behaviors are done in the hope of attracting attention. Unfortunately, those actions only drew a beating, so he chose to leave the house.
The children all stood in Ezio's shoes and scolded with indignation. However, Rowan was quite rational, he didn't care about Ezio's grudge with that magician, he was more concerned about what would happen to all the children here, so he asked, "Based on what you know about that magician, what do you think he will do?" ”
"Well, continue to ignore us?" Ezio said hesitantly.
To this uncertain answer, Rowan felt that he could no longer rely on Ezio in this matter. So he said, "Take me to the magician." With you leading the way, you should be able to see the big man. ”
"Why?" Ezio asked sourly. This is also the voice of most children.
Rowan explained, "The fact that the magician didn't stop us from stealing the food meant that he had good intentions or some kind of purpose. No matter what his mind is, it would be more direct to ask him face-to-face than to guess. Knowing what he wants to do would be better than worrying about what to expect. ”
Rowan's words persuaded the vast majority of children. But Ezio stubbornly said, "Maybe they really don't know." As a result, we took the initiative to come to the door, as if we had thrown ourselves into a net. ”
Pressing Ezio's cheeks, Rowan said domineeringly, "I don't care about that." Anyway, the matter with the magician has to be settled, or I won't be able to sleep well. Since you started the matter, you must go. ”
Letting go of Ezio, who had been ravaged so badly, Rowan looked at the other children and said, "If you want to go with me, I have no opinion. But I don't know what will happen when I meet that magician. There could be danger, and it was even possible to die over there. And I'm going to go, and if I come back alive, I'll tell the others what happened. And for your own words, decide for yourselves, don't be influenced by other people, and don't influence other people. According to Ezio, the magician was not easy to get along with. Appearing in front of him is actually a certain danger. ”
The children, who had set the tone of the matter and had not yet had much opinion, agreed with Rowan's approach, except for the scolding Ezio.
It's just that Rowan ignores the children's ability to act, or that everyone has little patience to wait. After making the decision to meet with the magician, the children, who had nothing to do, rushed to the magician's house with Rowan and Ezio. Everyone goes, and no one is left behind.
However, after taking a large group of children into the street in a noisy manner, Rowan and Ezio felt regret in their hearts at the same time. Usually I am active in the lower street and nearby places, because they are all busy areas, or I walk in the shadows in the middle of the night, so I don't feel anything.
But the place where the magician lived, in addition to being on the outskirts of the holy city of Estari, was also a sparsely populated, relatively quiet high-class area. The people who live here are either rich or expensive. This is also the news that Rowan only found out after stealing bread a few times and becoming suspicious.
It was strange to go to the magician's mansion in broad daylight. Aside from the fact that there is no place to hide during the day, the neighborhood is unoccupied and fairly quiet. The noisiest thing is my own army of children.
If only the children who came with them knew what they were doing. There are a lot of people who join in the fun, and there are also places that come to see what it looks like to give bread for free every day. Of course, they won't admit that they're just gluttons who want to touch a few more pieces of bread and leave. Children who really know what they are here to do and what will happen to them are probably only one or two out of ten.
Being so conspicuous and ostentatious was not the original intention of Rowan and Ezio.
