Chapter 160: Let it go
When this woman was young, she should have been quite beautiful, but the years have already marked her body. Judging by what she was wearing and how she looked, her life should have been very embarrassing lately. This embarrassment has made her beauty even more obliterated.
The woman said with tears in her voice, "My lord, please forgive him, for he was instigated to do so." ”
The child still looked at Stupid with a look of hatred, "Mother, don't say it, he killed his father, and I am inseparable from him." ”
Ever since Ben became a Saint Rank master, his fame had spread throughout the continent. Many of the things he had done before were also revealed, including saving Princess Rose from the kidnappers.
These things came out, and this kid, as well as the mage just now, naturally knew that it was Stupid who killed Tony. Stupid came to the Holy Alliance Empire, and his identity was not disguised at all, so naturally these people were easy to find out.
Stupid looked at the child and his mother, not knowing what to say or what to do.
Charlotte and Archie also looked at the mother and son with sympathetic eyes.
Stupid looked at the mage and asked, "Who are you, why did you instigate this kid to kill me?"
"I'm the mage Walter, if I hadn't hired them, this child's father wouldn't have died, so I feel a little guilty about him, he wants revenge, so I naturally want to give him help and opportunities. The mage was very disgraceful, and seemed not at all afraid to kill him in a fit of anger.
"Ever since you killed his father, the boy and his mother have had a very bad life, they live in poverty, and they have no basic food and clothing. Are you still saying you're not wrong?" Mage Walter suddenly set on fire. It seems that he has not taken into account his situation at all.
"You're right, if you hadn't hired them. They won't die either. These things are caused by you. If you do something bad, you have to bear the consequences. Never have I ever killed an innocent person. I don't feel guilty at all. Stupid said loudly. Although he said it so justifiably, Charlotte could tell from his performance that he sympathized with the mother and son.
The child had brown hair and brown eyes, and looked very beautiful. But because of malnutrition, his complexion exudes a pale color that only poor people have. This paleness, combined with the anger in his eyes, made him look less cute.
Clumsy stroked the dagger that had been snatched from the child's hand, pondering.
"Stupid, this kid didn't hurt you either, I see. Forget it. Charlotte spoke first.
Archie looked stupid, his mind wandering. He was from a large family, and he was a man, and his elders always taught them to strangle danger in the cradle, to destroy the enemy completely while they were not yet strong.
He knew that this boy hated stupidity to the core, and such a danger was naturally better to be eliminated as soon as possible, but he was very sympathetic to this boy, so he couldn't say anything.
To their surprise. Stupid didn't speak anymore, let go of the hand that was holding the boy, and then took his arm for the mage Walter, with a somewhat tired tone. He said, "Let's go." ”
The boy was startled, and the look on his face went from anger to surprise. to not understand. Mage Walter wasn't much better than him.
When they were ready to assassinate Stupid, they were not prepared to survive. Success or failure. After all, stupid is a saint-level master, although they have not seen the power of a saint-level master. I've heard about it too.
Who wants to be stupid to catch them, listen to their hateful words, and even let them go. They really don't know why stupid is doing it.
At this time, the woman next to her heard Ben say this, and immediately cried again, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." I will definitely teach my child well so that he will not hate you again. Don't let him do anything too much. ”
Stupid took out another bag of gold coins, about a few hundred gold coins, and handed it to the woman, "Take it, improve your lives." Live well. ”
The woman immediately waved her hand, "No, no, how can we take your money." No, absolutely not. ”
Charlotte spoke, "You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children. You look at the way he looks, he hasn't eaten for a long time, right? ”
Archie also smiled and said, "Stupid won't lack this gold coin, you can take it." ”
Stupid also tried to soften his expression and said, "You live in poverty, don't you? Take it and buy something nice to eat for your child. Live well. ”
The boy looked stupid and didn't understand it even more. However, the expression on his face was not violent at the beginning, but a little embarrassed, a little unconvinced, "Even if you give us gold coins, I will not forget my father's hatred." ”
He smiled stupidly and said, "Okay, you're welcome to take revenge." But if you want revenge, you have to be strong first. If you want to be strong, you must first live well. ”
The woman didn't say anything more, silently took the money bag that Ben handed her, then saluted Ben, pulled the little boy and left.
Coming down, the mage was left Walter, standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"What are you still doing standing here, aren't you leaving?" Stupid doesn't have such a good face on this mage Walter.
When he heard that the mage Walter had hired Toni to kidnap the princess, he didn't have a good impression of him. If they hadn't kidnapped the princess, his sister Qingxue wouldn't have been kidnapped by them, his sister hadn't been kidnapped, and he wouldn't have killed those people to save his sister.
Mage Walter looked at Dumb deeply, then saluted Dumb and walked away with his arms folded.
Because of what happened, Stupid was a little depressed, and Charlotte and Archie also felt his feelings, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
The three of them did not speak again, but got into the carriage.
And the people around to watch the excitement also dispersed when they saw the protagonists leaving. The crowded streets immediately became as calm as they had been.
The three of them got into the carriage, and Archie drove the carriage to the west.
Charlotte looked dull and stupid, and wanted to find some light topics to explain him, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know what to say.
It's stupid, seeing Charlotte so uncomfortable, he spoke first, "Charlotte, I know you will definitely support my ideas and practices. According to common sense, such a danger should be stifled, but I just can't do it. Especially when I saw the way the woman looked. ”
Charlotte hurriedly said, "It's right that you can't do it, after all, it's just a child, maybe less than ten years old." And that woman is so pitiful, if she doesn't have a son, it is estimated that she will not be able to live. So, you were right to let that kid go. ”
Stupid smiled and nodded, "I knew you would support me." In fact, I don't want to kill people, and among the people I have killed, there are no good people, and I have not killed a good person by mistake. So I don't feel guilty at all. ”
Hearing Ben emphasize these things so much, Charlotte knew that Ben still had some knots, otherwise he wouldn't have emphasized this again and again.
"It's good to be worthy of your conscience, you professionals, you will inevitably kill people. As long as you haven't been killed by mistake. However, if possible, it is better to kill less. Charlotte stumbled.
"Don't worry, I understand all these things. Actually, I just wasn't happy, and I didn't have any other ideas. Stupid looked at Charlotte and said, "Seeing this boy is like seeing your old self." Not enough to eat, not enough to wear...... I only have sympathy for him in my heart, and I want him to live a better life. Even if he becomes stronger in the future and wants to kill me, I can't help it. ”
Charlotte nodded.
Ben continued, "But he is luckier than me, he still has a mother, a mother to rely on, and I used to have only a sister. Only I can rely on myself, and I have to take care of my sister. I don't know why, but lately, I've always thought of my previous life, remembered the days of being helpless, and depended on my sister for my life. ”
Charlotte immediately grabbed the stupid hand, "Now, you still have our friends, there is me, there is a watermark, there is Archie...... Aren't you? Now you're not alone. ”
Stupid nodded, "yes, the war is about to break out, but I'm still here to be sentimental, it's really undeserved." By the way, Charlotte, when you return to Paris this time, you should stop running around, the war will break out soon, and there should be a lot of unrest. Just stay at home. lest I worry about you. ”
Hearing Ben say this, Charlotte's face suddenly turned red, "Okay, I'll listen to you, stay at home." (To be continued......)
