Why resist? Not to sell you my life? Do you want to see what you're talking about?
Faced with the problem of the golden toad, Leon really didn't even have the slightest desire to deal with it.
This Holy Spirit of the Golden Sect is obviously not the kind of reasonable toad, and the black goat's sentence of "strong buying and strong selling" has well summarized its ability and character.
The other party's process of stripping away the other attributes brought by life, and only dividing the process of exchanging money through labor into an equivalent operation with life itself, is pure unreasonable sophistry and hooligan logic.
It's a pity that I'm not afraid that the hooligans are educated, but I'm afraid that the hooligans will grow big.
After looking up at the other party's height of nearly six meters, and the outrageous size of the horizontal width of more than ten meters, Leon couldn't help but think of the optional tasks given by the red-haired director in the morning.
Although he didn't deal with the five-meter giant beast, he didn't expect to turn his head and bump into a six-meter one, and the size seemed to be only the most inconspicuous ability of the other party.
I'm afraid I can't run this time......
"I don't really mind selling my life."
recalled that when he was "caught", the process was almost like a space shift, Leon directly gave up the idea of escaping on a broomstick, and pinned his last hope on the director's life-saving red hair.
took out the small bottle of bad wine he was carrying, and after drinking it all violently, Leon, who activated the [Martyrs of the Wine Country], swept away the hesitation and timidity in his heart, looked up at this behemoth beast that had mastered infinite power, and said in a provocative voice:
"But the price you offered is too low, and it's not enough to buy my life!"
Oh huh?
Looking at the fear in his soul that suddenly suppressed in front of him, and looked up at his own insignificant human, the golden toad couldn't help but tilt his head in surprise.
According to its original intention, it just wanted to casually tease and tease this human, to amuse him with his ugly appearance in the face of death, and by the way, to laugh at the eyes of the "old friend" in choosing his family.
But I didn't expect this little ant to have the courage to question or even speak out to provoke in the face of a great existence that could deprive him of everything at will.
"Hehe, since you're so confident......"
The golden toad, which had taken a slight interest in Leon, grinned, and its two huge compound eyes were slightly concave, aligning the center of the countless tiny spheres at Leon.
"Then I'll estimate the price for you again~"
Accompanied by the gentle voice of the golden toad, the countless Leon reflected in his eyes trembled in unison, and then quickly replaced with countless chaotic new images.
The naΓ―ve and ignorant childhood, the happy childhood inherited from the knees of his parents, the howling and crying after the loss of his parents, and then the large empty darkness.
And when a large area of empty darkness has passed, it is a high fever that does not go away and lingers on the sickbed for most of the year, because a serious illness has consumed most of the family's savings, and they begin to run desperately for money.
Painting the walls of the villa under the scorching sun, supporting the emaciated body dock anti-bag, holding a two-meter-long special scrubbing rod, laboriously scrubbing the blackened ferry with the chimney.
When the river froze and the ships were out of service, they took over the abandoned newsstands on the roadside, shrunk up in the cold winter to sell newspapers, occasionally raise their shoes to disguise their age, and infiltrated various makeshift factories with lax management, working as handymen who did not require resumes, and earned a small amount of change......
Unfortunately, after more than two years of hard work, the poor little family in the picture not only did not become rich, but seemed more and more empty, and the girl who occasionally flashed gradually turned pale, coughed more and more severely, and the two children who could not see clearly began to lose weight together......
"A boring life."
In less than a second, after watching more than 5,000 days and nights, the golden toad shook his head in disgust, and puffed out his eyes when Leon strayed into the clean-up bureau and saw the bright red hair, and "pinched" the picture shown in the huge compound eye in time.
"If that's what you're calling an offer too low...... Then all I can say is sorry, your value is much lower than you think.
Even if you join that pesky clean-up bureau and live peacefully until you die, it's just a little more money, and my opinion of you still won't change. β
After stretching out the huge frog's paw and holding up the mountain-like golden wheel again, the golden toad handed the golden wheel to Leon, and said with a calm expression:
"You, like them, are just slaves to the domination of money, and I, who have the money, are born with the right to dominate you.
Even if you want to be worth more than the people before you, if you want to buy your humble life, this alone is enough. β
β¦β¦
Enough for your mother!
Seeing that the toad actually moved its mouth without moving his hands, and wanted to provoke it to take the initiative to attack him, so as to trigger the "talisman hair", Leon couldn't help but grit his teeth and reached out directly to touch his neckline.
Although the director said that touching her hair is equivalent to touching her chest, which will make her very angry, but now her life is going to be gone, and no matter how serious the consequences are, she has to give it a try!
"Wait a minute!"
And just as Leon unbuttoned his collar and was about to touch the bright red hair, a trembling shout rang out from the crowd, and Leon and the golden toad followed the voice and found that it was a middle-aged woman in a cloth robe.
This is...... That epileptic Lady Charl?
Under Leon's surprised gaze, the middle-aged woman with trembling legs looked at the broom and shopping bag in his hand, and then plucked up the courage, forcibly stood up straight, and retorted loudly to the compound eyes of the golden toad:
"He saved my life! I...... I can also give him a lot of money, you can't just buy his life! β
"Oh? Are you ready to bid with me? β
After glancing at the middle-aged woman with interest, the golden toad grinned its huge mouth and smiled gently:
"Yes, the highest bidder has to be part of a fair trade, and I welcome your participation, so let's start bidding."
After raising his hand and grabbing a bunch of golden wheels and "buying" her in front of him, the golden toad raised a "finger" and nodded at Leon, and commented playfully:
"This human who is favored by the devil, the money he can get a year is about six hundred gold wheels, so I don't think his life is expensive.
Based on the calculation that he can still work for forty years, he can buy his entire life as long as 30,000 gold wheels, and this is the upper limit of the price I am willing to accept, if your price is higher than 30,000 gold wheels, then his life is yours. β
Is it okay to have as long as 30,000?
Hearing the golden toad's words, Madame Char couldn't help but look happy, and nodded hurriedly in agreement:
"I'm out!"
"Don't buy it!"
After catching a glimpse of the strange fluctuations in the golden toad's soul, Leon couldn't help but change his expression, and immediately opened his mouth to stop it, but after all, it was still half a beat slower, and when Madame Char's voice landed, the golden toad had already grinned and agreed unusually happily.
"Deal!"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's okay!"
Seeing that Leon's face was quite ugly, Mrs. Char couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then comforted Leon beside her:
"My husband is the owner of Char's Department Store, and I have a lot of savings over the years, although there are some troubles now, I can still afford 30,000 gold wheels!"
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing her confident speech, Leon couldn't help but sigh with mixed feelings, and for a while he didn't know whether to thank the other party for his generosity or be helpless because of her naivety.
This damn toad behaves like a rule-abiding man, but it's talking about shameless rogue logic from beginning to end, and there's no justice in its dealings at all!
And don't forget, it can see your past and know that you are not bad for money, but why only offer the price of 30,000 gold wheels? If there is no cat in it, I will eat the sheep's head in the shopping bag on the spot!
β¦β¦
Under Leon's helpless gaze, the golden toad laughed and pushed him towards the middle-aged woman, and then spread his palms in front of her and said:
"His life is yours, take your money out!"
"Good!"
Seeing that she had saved her life, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"You let me go, and I'll have someone bring the money right away."
"No, no, no, that kind of money doesn't work."
The golden toad shook his head and said with a smile:
"The money you have, it's not your money, it's the money earned by your husband's company, the money paid by the customers of the department stores, and the money minted by the mints in this country.
If you want to buy a person's life, this kind of money that will depreciate as long as you mint more can't do it, it must be completely yours, unique money...... Like this. β
With the golden toad's right hand closing one by one, the middle-aged woman only felt that the world in front of her shook slightly, and then not only moved a little to the left, but even directly "narrowed" by a third.
"Well, this is money in exchange for the vision of your right eye, and only this kind of money is completely yours."
After flicking a few poor golden wheels on her right hand, the golden toad shook her head at the panicked middle-aged woman.
"It seems that your eyesight is not good, is it because you often stayed up late to work when you were young, did you damage your eyesight?
It's a pity, it looks like I'm going to take some more things, these few gold wheels are not enough to buy his life...... Oh yes, do you remember how much his life was worth? β
Under the extremely frightened gaze of the middle-aged woman, the golden toad's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the smile on its face was so bright that it was terrifying.
"Thirty thousand!"
"I calculated, if you want to make up this money, you will probably have to pay for your facial features, internal organs, limbs, and skin...... Well...... Maybe ...... again."
"Stop!"
Before the golden toad could close his right hand again, Leon pounced, grabbed its nauseous mucus-stained fingers, and angrily stopped:
"Less teasing! You're not prepared to make any trades, you're just making fun of others! Even if she can get the 30,000 gold wheel, you will definitely find other reasons to cheat! β
"No, no, no, you're wrong, as long as she can get 30,000 gold wheels, I will definitely trade with her...... Well...... Or act as a middleman to help you close the deal with her. β
After glancing at Leon, who was wrenching his fingers, the golden toad blinked his huge compound eyes and asked with a smile:
"Have you forgotten? She paid for your life, if she can get the money, then I will give you her money, and then take your life and give it to her, is there anything wrong with that? β
ββ¦β¦β
And then I died completely because of the loss of life, and she lost her facial features, internal organs, limbs, skin, and more, literally living "nothing"?
Looking at the gentle smile of the golden toad, Leon, who was covered in an ice cave, finally understood why the red-haired director repeatedly emphasized that he should never trust any intelligent anomalous objects.
In his soul's vision, this huge toad did not harbor any ill will towards himself, and the biggest reason for supporting it to do so was just two simple words - interesting. And just for the sake of simple fun, it can support it to make such terrible deceptions and teasing!
Something like you...... It shouldn't exist at all!
After taking a deep breath, Leon, who finally found a chance to get closer, gritted his teeth, raised his head directly and exposed his neck, and slammed into the golden toad's sharp and hard feet!
β¦β¦
He's ...... You don't want to end up like that, so you want to end your life directly?
"Don't spoil my interest!"
The golden toad, who hadn't had enough fun, waved his hand, and the giant palm more than one person high swept Leon out directly with a strong wind, only to see it say with a displeased expression:
"You're boring, I'm ...... Damn it! You carry the woman's hair?!!! β
With the angry roar of the golden toad, the moment it was slapped by its palm, the collar of William's coat was instantly shattered, and more than a dozen beautiful red hairs poured out like swimming fish, and automatically and consciously flew towards it.
"Stand back! Back off! β
It was obviously just a few slender hairs, but the golden toad seemed to be about to come with a knife and axe, desperately grabbed the golden wheel in front of him, and smashed it forward one after another.
As a large number of golden wheels were thrown out and disappeared, it seemed that the entire square had been magnified, and the distance between the red hair and it instantly skyrocketed, directly multiplying more than a hundred times, and it seemed to be still extending.
However, the golden toad's strange and extraordinary methods only maintained the situation for less than a second, and the dozen or so bright red long hairs that pierced the eyes instantly crossed a distance of thousands of meters, and the flying fish entered the sea and pierced into the golden toad's body.
"Get out! Get out of here! β
The red-haired golden toad roared in horror with a frightened face, and then opened its huge mouth more than three meters long, spit out a huge amount of gold wheels and kept making them disappear, as if in this way, the red-haired red hair that had been drilled into its body was "bought".
Unfortunately, even though it tried its best and spit out countless amounts of money, it only "bought" a part of the shorter hairs, and the remaining seven or eight of the longest and strongest red hairs did not come out, but roamed wildly through its body, making high-speed cuts along the bones, epitheliums, blood vessels, and tendons that were unrecognizable to the naked eye.
With a strange sound of flesh and skin opening, only a breath of time passed, and this behemoth, which was more than six meters high, instantly opened its skin and flesh, and its muscles and bones were separated, and it was neatly dissected without a trace of plasma, and it was scattered all over the ground without a sound.
