Section 40 Prices

It happened suddenly, and although Cleo clearly witnessed the whole process, he didn't have time to warn him, so he could only watch the flying knife coming. Barsaconi was only wearing a thin tunic, which meant that the knife, if hit, could cause significant damage and even fatal.

Basadoni didn't look back, he casually danced the stick in his hand behind him, and incredibly hit the throwing knife, sending the weapon directly out of the air. Then he turned around and strode towards the guy who threw the throwing knife. This time he showed no mercy and slammed the stick on the guy's head.

He did not rely entirely on the brute force of his arm, but used the strength of his entire upper body to make his right arm fall violently from static to moving, and the head of the stick hit the man's ear. The knifeman's skull collapsed right before Cleo's eyes, and the sudden increase in intracranial pressure caused his eyes to explode, and the eyeballs were squeezed directly out of the sockets, hanging from the nerves and blood vessels like thin wires, hanging on his face and dangling.

But then Barsadoni was not satisfied, and he picked up his stick again and walked to the other guy who had been knocked unconscious. But after thinking about it, he seemed to think that it was not appropriate, so he threw away his stick and picked up the throwing knife on the ground. This flying knife has a slender blade, but it can be used in one go.

In this way, he cut off the fingers of a fainted unlucky man on the side. However, this guy was not the most unlucky, because Barsadoni immediately changed to a different object, and although the latter was beaten and could not afford to struggle, he did not faint.

"Hold your hand out. Cleo could not see the other man's expression because he could only look at Barsaconi's back, but he could imagine it—because the poor creature trembled and stretched out his hand. Then came a heart-rending scream, a voice that made it clear what had happened.

"Hey, Barsaconi, you're ...... doing this," Essien seemed to be calm, but the corners of his mouth were actually twitching uncontrollably.

"You're in charge of it. Basadoni said coldly. "It's not hard, is it?"

Essien kept his mouth shut, and even he, the initiator, could not refrain from expressing a look of disgust.

"What is he doing?" Cleo couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back, though he didn't understand.

"This guy's hobby. Essien replied in a somber voice. "He has a penchant for collecting the finger bones of his defeated soldiers......"

"These ...... It's going to stink, right?" I don't know what I'm talking about, Cleo suddenly said the question.

"Ah, no. He would remove the meat and burn it over a fire, so that even if it was made into a chain and hung on his body, it would not smell. ”

While they were talking, Barsadoni had already done what he had to do. He kept the fleshy stuff in a leather pocket. During the whole process, no one dared to intervene, and no one dared to stop him.

"Well, you have to bear witness to my power, and now you have witnessed it. Basadoni returned to Essien's front and wiped his shirt with his bloodied hand. "What the thing says. ”

Essien was still talking, but Cleo couldn't hear anything anymore. There was not a man in front of him, but a beast in human skin! He tried to keep himself calm, and repeatedly told himself that such a person was a suitable person to be used. It was only after this psychological preparation that he could muster up the courage to face this man again.

But it took him a little too long to muster up his courage, and Essien had already finished the negotiations.

"Okay, see you tomorrow morning, then. Basardoni said. He didn't want to say more, so he turned around and left.

The sheriff's team, the patrols responsible for security, never showed up. However, this is normal, because this is what Cleo ordered it to do. But to be honest, he really didn't expect to see such a scene.

"That man is a mad dog!" Essien patted him on the shoulder. "But as long as he bites our target, we can only tolerate his presence for the time being. ”

"When will we see you again tomorrow?" Cleo asked. He hadn't heard anything of the conversation just now.

"Tomorrow morning, on the side of the street. Essien replied. "I've already chosen my spot. ”

......

Essien was really well prepared. At least when it comes to finding a position, he did nothing wrong.

It was early in the morning, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and Ashrufat appeared at the end of the street as predicted.

"Is that the man?" asked Basadoni. He was asking Essien, as Cleo had managed to stay as far away from the monster as he could—thankfully that didn't anger the other party.

"Yes, that's him. Essien replied.

The three were now in a small house on the side of the street, looking out through the window.

Basadoni narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance as he slowly approached Ashrufat with the gaze of a hunter looking at his prey.

"Tsk...... It's useless!" he whispered, then opened the door and headed for Ashrufat. Cleo tried to stop him, but Essien grabbed him in time and made a "let him go" gesture.

Basadoni walked up to Ashrufat, looking like two ordinary pedestrians about to pass by. But at the last step, Barsadoni leaned into the flank and bumped into the opponent hard. Caught off guard, this should have been able to make Eshurufat stumble. But Ashrufat dodged in the last moment. The two men ended up just rubbing the edge of their shoulders slightly. It was only a small thing, so the duo didn't stop, didn't even care at all, and moved on.

Ashrufat's figure quickly disappeared around the corner, and Basardoni stopped after a short walk, standing still in place.

Essien and Cleo came to Barsadorni's side.

"Well, I'm right. That guy is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he is very powerful. Essien said.

"Interesting...... It's really funny!" Basadoni's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam. "It's been a long time since I've met such a strong opponent. Okay, I promise you! but I'll add a little bit of money...... A thousand Quioli!"

"No problem. Essien agreed. He only turned his head to look at Cleo beside him after saying this, and the latter also nodded.

"Find a way to ask him out, in the noble quarter!" said Basadoni. "I'll take care of the rest. ”

......

The old woman gently combed the black hair in her hand with the comb in her hand.

This hair is long and neat, soft and uncurly, and the light can be seen, if it is changed to an adult woman's body, it is enough to make the charm of women skyrocket. But even if it is placed on a teenage girl, it can fully set off the sweet and gentle nature that belongs to a girl.

"Mother-in-law, why are you combing so slowly. The little girl asked. She combed her hair and flipped through the book in her hand.

"Because your hair is really beautiful, I want to comb it slowly. The old woman said gently. "What are you looking at?"

"History books. The little girl replied. "Mother-in-law, when do you think I will grow up?"

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

"Because I told Jia Na yesterday that I don't want to continue learning those theoretical things, I want to learn more practical things. Jana said that when I was old enough, I would be able to try to link theory with practice. ”

"What kind of theory?"

The book says that if you want to be a good king, you must not be deceived by your subordinates. So I thought...... If I could see the outside, maybe I would know more. But...... The world outside is different from what I thought......"

"It's a bit dangerous to leave the palace......" the old woman chuckled softly, but she didn't stop in her hand. "Even if you want to go out, you should bring a guard. ”

"No, if I bring someone...... Then they're going to tell the old man Skadera about it! he's going to nag me for a long time and annoy me to death. The little girl sighed. "Mother-in-law, you say, why am I the queen, but I must listen to Skadra?

"Oh, don't blame Skadra, he's doing it for your good. Because you're still young, you don't understand a lot of things yet. ”

"Sure enough, the question is that I'm too young, and how old do I have to be to be old enough to make myself decide everything?" the little girl sighed again. The problem is that she's still a child, so even though she's a queen, everyone doesn't take her seriously. "But it says ...... The young king took care of everything himself...... One hundred and twenty years ago...... One of my ancestors once ruled the country at the age of fourteen......"

"But you're only eleven years old. ”

"It's only three years old! If the ancestors of the Makremiz family could do it, so should I...... Could it be that what I'm missing isn't age, it's something else?"

"Maybe it's not because you're too young, maybe it's ...... You haven't won the allegiance of others. The old woman said. "Not verbal respect, but real allegiance. ”

"Yes? I remember Jana taught that...... But...... It's just some theories, I don't know what to do. ”

"If you don't understand it, then give it a try. ”

"Ah, try it?" repeated the little girl. If the old woman could see her face, she would see a sudden burst of sparkle in her eyes. "Oh, I should give it a try! I may not be able to affect a lot of people, but it should be able to ...... Alone. By the way, what the book says. ”

She dropped the history book in her hand, picked up another one, and quickly found the page she was looking for.

"There are only two things that can unite humanity, a common ideal and a common crime...... "The little girl read softly.
