Chapter 823: Death Sonata
A little hiccup dispels Victor, who realizes that he didn't come forward to ask, and Don and Josia continue to chat and stroll along the main commercial road.
"Don, your temper seems to be getting better and better now. ”
"Oh, hehe, now I'm a master, of course, I have to have a master's demeanor, and then I can't afford to lose that person if I compete with some ordinary small characters. After brushing his hairstyle, Tang En put on a look of the loneliest understatement of a master.
"Really......" Josia blinked, "Are you sure it's not pity?"
"Uh...... I'll go!" After a pause, Tang En opened his mouth, his eyes were stunned, and the image of the master collapsed in an instant. Then he stroked his forehead and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, you can ignore my character, but you can't insult my taste! Although the assassin just now had some disguise, his actual age and identity were that of an aunt. You don't know my taste, that's a little too heavy......"
Of course, this is just a joke, and after that, Don briefly explained, "People die for money, and birds die for food." Such an assassin is like a carp crossing the river, and he can't kill it all. The best situation is to kill a few ruthless characters, scare off most of the minor characters, and finally clean up the unified ...... En, if you say a qiē shun lì, the situation will be much better. ”
Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, this is also Donn's plan. There is nothing new, but the advantage is that the effect is fast and the cycle is short.
Nodding slightly, Josia's expression suddenly became a little melancholy, as if he didn't care about these things, and seemed to have absolute confidence in Don. His eyes drooped slightly, and he said abruptly: "However, my temper seems to be getting worse and worse......"
"Huh?"
"Maybe it's not my temper, it's my nature that is constantly changing. Or. It's the ugly thing that keeps being exposed......" stretched out his palm. Fair and bright in the light. The corners of Josia's mouth raised slightly, and he laughed at himself, "Believe it, these hands and this mouth, with just a slight movement, will cause countless deaths, whether good or bad, loyal and treacherous, whether reluctant or unwilling......"
Don tilted his head and thought for a moment. Seriously: "This is war. ”
"Some are not. Shaking his head slightly, Josia pointed to the city in front of him and said calmly, "For example, a few days ago, in order to stabilize the situation as much as possible, after I entered the city, I ordered not to take prisoners, and anyone who hides Bran soldiers is guilty of the same crime! Hehe, killing prisoners is war, but what about the ordinary people who provide hiding places for Bran soldiers? You must know that most of the garrison soldiers' homes are in this city, so that's it." Of course, parents should hide their sons, and wives should hide their husbands...... But it can't be helped. What to do, the order has been given, and taking it back will chill the hearts of our soldiers, so we can only kill, keep killing......"
Taking a deep breath and holding the palm that Don handed over, Josia raised his head and blinked and asked, "Don, you say, is this also war?"
Don didn't answer, actually, he didn't need to answer. Don believes that Josia can sort out the relationship, and no matter how bad it is, he can selectively forget and ignore it, which is not cold-blooded, but the necessary sanity of a leader. The reason why I mention it now is just because of my own savings. Seven emotions and six desires, human nature. The stronger you are in front of outsiders, the more defenseless and even weak you are in front of acquaintances, which can be regarded as self-regulation and balance. So, Don just tightened Josia's palm and listened quietly.
Sure enough, after a while, "Ha, look at me, I was obviously out shopping, but now I brought up such a boring thing......" Inhaling and shrugging, Josia smiled apologetically, as if he was just talking casually.
"It's okay, En......" Tang En naturally didn't debunk it, glanced around, pointed to a tall statue in the distance, and diverted the topic, "A little curious, how did you deal with those gods?
"What? Oh, the church, of course not all of them. Josia looked up at the majestic statue of the God of Light erected in the distance and smiled slyly, "You must know that those gods are the best trauma healers, of course, all of them." ”
"Yes, waste utilization. ”
"Hah, that's it. There is also the statue, which was originally intended to be removed immediately after entering the city, but in order to take care of the psychological feelings of the citizens in the city, it was kept first...... Tell you secretly, we plan to destroy it in a few days in the name of Bran deserters, so that you don't have to look at it all day, ha......"
The Gray Cloth Army and Liang Zi of the Temple of Light have become bigger, and now that they have the opportunity to take revenge, they naturally have to find a way to return it. This is also the reason why Tang En has not troubled the Temple of Light since he killed the Holy Light City that time, he knows that after the Gray Army comes out, it will inevitably completely remove the foundation of the Temple of Light, which is much more effective than killing some people.
After chatting a few words like this, Josia's mood quickly adjusted, and when she looked up, she happened to come to the door of a large clothing store with three facades.
Looking up at the signboard of the shop, Josia nodded clearly: "No wonder, it turned out to be a von Karen women's clothing store." ”
Don En naturally didn't study much about women's clothing, but as a killer who needed to know a little about everything, he also knew that Von Karen was one of the top brands of women's clothing in the other world, so he spread his hands and said, "Go in and have a look?"
There are women in the world who like to go on a shopping spree to torture their wallets and vent their feelings. Don decided to copy it and put it on Josia to see how it worked.
"Yes. Josia didn't refuse, nodded and walked in with Donn. After the division of labor was done, the rear guards were followed by Victor with a few people.
The store is very large, the décor is very delicate and elegant, and there is even a luthier playing the piano in the corner of the side, and the tune is soothing and pleasant, and the atmosphere is quite good. But relatively speaking, there are not many customers here, and a few idle young waiters gather on the side of the door to chat about something, which seems to be a little quiet and lonely.
Seeing Don and Josia come in, a waitress stepped forward with a professional smile, but after seeing the Victor and others who were walking up quickly from the rear and quickly scattering the heavily armed Victor and others around them, there was an immediate pause under his feet, and a few hints of hesitation and fear flashed on his face.
In today's Shanhai City, those who can still wear armor can naturally only be the gray-clothed army. Although the appearance of the gray-clothed army after entering the city is good, but for ordinary citizens. It is naturally best to stay away from it without dealing with it.
Seeing this, Don didn't care about waving his hand. "Call you again if you need to. The waitress breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. After a salute, he quickly stepped aside.
The topic of the small talk of the waiters just now seemed to be the gray army, and now when they saw the main owner coming to the door, they naturally wisely shut up. For a while, only extremely soothing music could be heard in the store, which added a bit of elegance and tranquility.
However, although the environment is quiet, the piercing Victor and others are like sharks breaking into the shallow stream, and some guests' faces suddenly change after seeing them. Immediately, several people left in a hurry.
Those who can consume here are naturally wealthy and wealthy people. And in the current city, it is this kind of group that is most afraid of the gray army. Far from it for the time being, let's just say that the signboard inviting the people to vote to judge the evil nobles is still erected in the streets......
Fortunately, the façade of this shop is indeed large enough, and Josia and Don are only moving on one side now, but they have not alarmed all the customers, otherwise the owner and the service would have been depressed.
In this case, Don and Josia have seen a lot along the way, so naturally they don't care, but Josia buys something every time he enters the store. It's a kind of dark compensation, and this time is no exception.
"How's this one?" Josia picked up a simple black cotton top. Turning around, he asked.
Don didn't rush to answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked, "You only seem to like plain colors?" I see that most of your clothes are like this. ”
Tilting his head and thinking about it, "Yes, yes, maybe it's because I'm wearing too many magic robes, hehe...... What, this one doesn't look good?"
"Why, it's beautiful!" Don gave a thumbs up without hesitation, someone is born with a clothes rack, like Josia. It's just that she used to wear a robe before, which concealed her slender figure. Now the concept seems to have changed a little, from robes and long skirts to simple clothes and trousers, a little less simple, more mature and capable temperament.
"Really?" women have always been unresistant to compliments, especially if they come from someone they like. Josia was no exception, and although her tone was questioning, her slightly narrowed smile still betrayed her joy.
"Of course!" Don touched his chin and looked up and down again, "but this dress seems to be a little smaller, and it lacks a pair of pants that fit it...... Well, waiter?" he snapped his fingers and beckoned the waiter who had been waiting for a long time.
Knowing the question, the young waitress replied respectfully, "Distinguished guest, please rest assured. We have a wide range of sizes for all types of clothing, so even if they are out of stock, they can be urgently transferred from other places to meet all your needs. As for the pants, if you don't mind, I can ask the resident designer to build it for you. ”
Don nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, then that's it, try to change to a size bigger top first, and then ask the designer." By the way, the changing room over here......"
"Please follow me. ”
In the end, it is a high-end shop, and the place to change clothes is naturally not a curtain that is pulled up, but a long row of compartments at the back of the shop, which seems to be very magnificent.
At this time, several men were already waiting here, apparently with female companions changing their clothes inside. But women, of course, don't change clothes very fast, so these men can only get together and chat casually. However, after seeing Don and them, especially Victor and the others who came with them, the words were abrupt, and the faces of several people changed greatly, and they retreated again and again, thinking that if there was not a female companion here, they would choose to leave immediately.
Scanning around like an eagle falcon, Victor couldn't help frowning, after all, this is a women's dressing room, and it is naturally inappropriate to check them one by one. And if there are people inside, it will be difficult for him to get in. But if you don't check it, then it's even more not. Anyway, it's all the damn thing......
Glaring at Donn again, Victor straightened his face and waited to open his face to examine them one by one. But then Josia shook her head in this direction, obviously signaling them not to come closer.
After a little hesitation, Victor was about to continue to insist, the waitress had already changed to a larger top, and Don En saw this and casually pushed open a compartment, and roughly glanced at it, not a small space, with a long mirror and a seat. At a glance, that's all.
Bounching down and waving his hand in an inviting gesture, "Please, beautiful lady." "Hehe......" Josia walked into the cubicle with her clothes, turned to Don and smiled, and closed the wooden door.
"Your Excellency, if you have no other requirements, I will now go and ask the designer to come ......"
"There's no hurry. Waving his hand, Don said calmly, "You just said that this place can meet all the needs of the guests?"
"Yes, as long as there is a demand for clothing......"
Shaking his head, "It has nothing to do with clothes, but you should be able to do it." Well, this is a good luthier, can I order a tune?" asked Donn, holding his index finger around his ear to signal the soothing piano tune.
"Huh?" The waitress was stunned when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect such a demand, and after reacting, she couldn't help but look a little weird, and nodded, "Of course, which tune is it?"
"Thanks, just order the Death Sonata. Now, here's your tip. ”
"Okay, thanks...... Huh?" The palm that took the tip paused in mid-air, and the waitress looked up blankly, looking at Don with an indifferent expression, and blinked in disbelief, "Yes, I'm sorry, I may...... You may have misheard it, but what did you just say?"
"Death Sonata, thank you!"
