11. Aisha's helplessness
"I refuse. ”
What are you kidding, if it happens to be convenient, then it's not a matter of saying that there is a conspiracy behind this curse and that it is not directed against herself, and Aisha has no intention of getting involved at all - as for how many innocent people will be killed, Aisha does not think that she needs to be responsible for their lives.
"This is not what we should be doing, to cast a vicious curse on the city for no reason, and you should inform the city guards and leave it to them instead of acting as a hero in private. Aisha looked into the other's eyes, blocking all retreats from the start, "You can't even deal with this curse, and going to investigate privately will only cost your father an extra amount of money to place your ashes - if you can still find the remaining parts." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man also stumbled down from the stairs, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that Aisha and the others did not agree to their daughter's request.
"You should have informed the city guards earlier. Aisha looked at the man dissatisfied, "The situation is far more serious than your daughter thinks. ”
Maybe the other party has their own considerations, but at this time, they should be decisive and throw the trouble to the city guards, and at the same time simply shirk the responsibility on their side - at least that's what Aisha thinks.
"No kidding! I'm ......"
"Enough, Lisa!"
The middle-aged man suddenly roared at the girl Lisa.
Aisha keenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere - it seemed that there was no hostess in this house?
"Lisa, calm down, impulsiveness and irrationality have made me lose a lot of things...... You, don't you have the same experience as me...... So, calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive......"
"Father, you ......"
Lisa was a little overwhelmed by her father's unusual behavior, but it seemed that she quickly understood the meaning of what her father said, and although she was still a little unconvinced, she obediently went upstairs.
"Makes you laugh. Lisa She ...... I lost my mother when I was very young, so I have a bit of a wild ......."
"Then it's better for you to care more about her lately, I have a hunch that it won't be just one of your swords here that has a curse - someone has a lot of plans, so it's better to tell the city guard early that someone has cut off someone's own messed up. ”
For the teenagers and girls who are in the second stage of secondary school, Aisha also feels a little headache, but fortunately, her own Lin is very well-behaved and sensible, so now it can be said that she is gloating and looking at the man with an embarrassed look. "I believe that you must know much more about your daughter than we do, so if you notice any abnormal behavior in her, you need to pay more attention. ”
The mobility of secondary 2 teenagers is always beyond imagination. Although it was only a one-sided relationship, Aisha still didn't want anything to happen to the other party.
In fact, the main reason for this excitement this time is that it is the sword she made that is cursed, and this child has always been very attentive to his work, so this time he is inevitably a little impulsive. ”
"It's no wonder that at a glance, the weapons here are vaguely in two styles, although they are very similar...... It seems that Miss Lisa's skills are quite good, too. ”
This was indeed a surprise to Aisha, after all, in terms of quality, the sword was very good for a normal iron weapon, and Aisha thought that it should be from the shopkeeper.
"Forget it, boss, you still don't need to give us cash, just use ten weapons from your daughter's hand as a reward - the price shouldn't be high, right?"
"Uh, ten weapons? Are you really sure you only need ten of these iron weapons?"
The middle-aged man was surprised for a while, this price was much less than the money bag in his hand.
"Well, after all, my disciple is watching from the sidelines...... Compared to me, she is still very kind, although she did not pull the corner of my clothes and pleaded, but her eyes have betrayed her. ”
Aisha glanced back at Rin, who was overwhelmed by the revelations.
"Being begged by such a lovely disciple with his eyes, wouldn't it lower my image in the disciple's mind if I took your money again......? Anyway, when you go to report to the city defense army, don't report us too quickly, just say it's a passing magician......"

"Wet sauce, you're so ruthless, you made us embarrassed just now!"
On the way back, Lynn complained wistfully.
"Actually, it doesn't matter, right? When you learn the realm of being able to talk nonsense with your eyes open and a smile on your face like me, you won't feel a little embarrassed. ”
"Wet sauce, you have your own weight, and you're all **...... Wait! Wet sauce, you mean, you didn't tell the truth just now?"
Lin immediately sensed what Aisha meant.
"yes, I was just lying to that girl, I didn't want her to come along. In fact, although this curse is indeed very vicious, and the conspiracy behind it must be not small, but if you really want to investigate, it is definitely not so dangerous - it is so mysterious that it is completely scaring her. ”
Looking at Lynn's unclear look, Aisha explained, "Don't forget, this is Nazca City, which is very complex...... There is definitely more than one company that has a plan. Lynn, do you think these different forces will wear a pair of pants?"
"Ah, I see! To put it bluntly, the necessity of intrigue is based on the weak frontal strength, and if you have enough confidence and strength, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to make a trick! And the biggest power in Nazca City, and also the most powerful force in the eyes and ears, is the empire itself!"
Lin is not stupid, on the contrary, she thinks very quickly, and immediately understands the key.
"If you contact the imperial officials for the first time, and get the attention of the empire, even if ......you personally investigate the inside story of these curses, if you don't go too deep, the other party actually won't dare to move - because once you attack them, it will be tantamount to being exposed to the surveillance of the empire, after all, here the empire has the deepest roots and the most extensive intelligence! However, in that case, why should I stop Lisa from asking for an investigation, although I also think it's safer to settle down......"
"Well, it's inevitable that such an obvious curse will have a bad impact and then attract the attention of the Empire......, right? So I think, perhaps, this is actually a trick to mislead the Empire's sight. In this case, if you follow this clue, you will probably only find the 'answer' that the other party has deliberately prepared. Lack of information, waste of time, this kind of difference makes me too lazy to do it, it is meaningless. ”
"Shall we get involved in this?"
Compared to Aisha, Lin was still a little worried about the ordinary people in the city - if the other party really went crazy, Lin didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
Aisha didn't care about this: "If it was the previous empire, it would be really bad...... But Lin, you don't know what kind of person the guy who is now in the highest position in the empire is. Some people are born to be the nemesis of intrigues. Rest assured, Lynn, we just have to watch how those fools who think they have laid a net are being played around by an old fox. ”
"Old fox?"
Lin looked at Aisha inexplicably.
"It's the teacher of the guy you met in the seal who was pitted down by Io - I have to admit that as a human being, he does stand on a very high level. And when it comes to dealing with conspiracies, it is a veteran who has been constantly dealing with pressure from all sides for the empire for nearly a thousand years, and in terms of experience, it is definitely not something that those 'young people' can imagine. ”
"So we don't really have to go through this troubled water...... Of course, if it's really out of line, it's not impossible for us to get involved a little......" Lynn's eyes made Aisha really unable to refuse, and after thinking about it, Aisha still made a guarantee, "Thank you for having a reasonable master, you stupid." ”
That being said, the most essential reason why Aisha agreed to Lin was actually because she was worried that Lin would mess around on the spur of the moment - although Lin didn't get into the second place, she couldn't help but take action if she really saw someone injured, right? Aisha really couldn't put her mind at ease, because according to her guess, the probability of this happening was estimated to be (9) percent......
[In short, try to solve the problem of living expenses as soon as possible......, right?
