"My name is Momola. Thank you for what I just said." She put her hands on her hips and said straight to the point. Although there were bruises on her face and the corners of her mouth were slightly swollen, she still maintained a good posture. She stared at Xia Fan and Olina warily, as if she didn't want to lower her posture just because she was rescued. "I will find a way to collect the money from the nine silver sera and return it to you. In a month, you can come here again and tell me my name."
"If I were you, I would not speak to my savior in such an attitude." Li narrowed his golden pupils slightly and replied in fluent Xiji dialect.
"Well" Momola can be tough with Xia Fan and Olina, but she can't respond coldly to the fox demon. "Even if he doesn't interfere, I will only get a beating at most. He is said to be a lifesaver." "
"You are a half-beast, so you naturally recover quickly, but what about those ordinary people?" Li interrupted her directly, "You have said it, if they are injured, they will not be able to work, it is the same as being killed. "
This unquestionable rebuttal left Momola speechless. After a while, she murmured in a low voice, "Why do you want to help him speak to a mage and a dragonborn? You are obviously enslaved too."
Li Yi wrapped his tail around Xia Fan and pulled him to his side, "Ah? Is there any?"
Olina covered her forehead.
Momola was stunned.
She always thought that the mage would save people because of this half-beast. Although few people keep half-animals, there are always weirdos with unique tastes, and they don't look like locals from Dragon Island. Since she can save her for the sake of the half-beast, it obviously proves that she is quite favored, but no matter how favored she is, the boundary between master and servant cannot be blurred.
The other party's behavior clearly crossed the line.
How could the breeder accept being treated like this in front of the public? It's not like playing a private game at home.
But Momola didn't see a trace of anger or hatred on Xia Fan's face.
The relationship between the two seemed very natural. She couldn't think of a good word to describe it, just like drinking tea and pouring water on weekdays.
Xia Fan was moved. He noticed that the other party used the word "slavery".
You must know that most people in this kind of relationship are unable to deeply realize that they have been treated extremely unfairly. Having this kind of thinking itself means being different.
"How do you know that I am a Qi-sensing person, a mage?"
Originally, he only saved people because of Li's relationship, but now he is interested in talking to the cat demon named Momora.
"You smell like magic. It's obvious when you get close." Probably because of Li's trouble, her attitude changed a lot. At least the look she looked at Xia Fan was not as repulsive as before.
"I see." Xia Fan nodded slightly, "What is the relationship between those people who stole things and you? Are they friends or relatives?"
"None of them." Momola muttered, "They are residents here and employees of Pagoda Garden. I am not helping them because of kinship, but because this matter itself is wrong!"
"So you will help others for no reason?" Olina's tone was full of doubts. As long as she didn't talk to Xia Fan, she would act like an old noble at other times.
"Yes, only you will help others for no reason, and only you have pure kindness, right?" Momola choked, "But I do have another reason to help them. I am also a person working here. , if you turn a blind eye to this matter, wouldn't it encourage those guys to default on their wages? If the same thing happens to me in the future, who can I pray to help me? Hera, the sun god? "
"And this is not my idea alone. Many workers supported me in doing this and even protested with me. I was worried that the noise would be too loud and would attract the attention of the street police, so I decided to negotiate first," she said. Putting aside the beginning, "Of course I don't expect you to understand this. You are born to be superior and have no idea how far a copper plate can push people."
Olina suddenly felt that the cat demon was much more pleasing to her eyes.
Although it was Jin Kern who forced her into this situation, it was essentially the same.
So when she saw Xia Fan reaching for his pocket, her heart skipped a beat.
Run, it's not too late now.
Xia Fan took out another silver coin and handed it over with a note attached.
"What's this?"
Momora said warily.
"The medicine money can be regarded as a little personal support from me." Xia Fan said calmly, "Buy some medicine and distribute it to those people. The injuries will heal faster. Since you plan to repay the nine silver sera, you might as well collect a whole , just pay back ten at a time.”
The cat demon thought for a while, and finally reached out and took the silver coin.
She was thinking not of medicine, but of food. Otherwise, relying solely on the help of other workers will only be able to scrape together a few crumbs. And with this money, those people would not starve to death while recovering from their injuries.
She also glanced at the note.
Above is a string of addresses.
"I understand that the money will be returned to this place, right?"
"That's right." Xia Fan smiled slightly, "My name is Xia Fan. If you tell me your name, someone will receive you there. In addition, if you encounter any unsolvable problems, you can also come to me."
"Why?" Momola asked suspiciously, "Do you still want to help us?"
"Just think of it for Li's sake." Xia Fan waved his hand.
Back at the cave, everyone felt a little tired.
The receptionist also brought new news at the right time: the Lord of Azure Castle has learned about their situation and plans to meet with the ambassador tomorrow morning.
Therefore, Xia Fan canceled the evening schedule, and everyone went to bed early after a good meal to recharge for tomorrow's meeting.
The next day, Li and Qian Yan stayed at their residence, while Xia Fan and Olina got on the carriage and came to the lord's castle together.
This is a typical West Pole fortress. The towering stone walls extend from the ground to the top floor. There are almost no windows at the bottom. There are several small holes for archery on the middle floor. Only the top can see the glass windows. There are watchtowers protruding from the wall at the four corners of the fortress, which can basically be used as half a bastion. In a way, it was both a lord's residence and a small war fortress. It's really troublesome to conquer this place without heavy weapons.
"This is really a super mansion." Xia Fan curled his lips. Although Ning Wanjun's villa is large, it is composed of many palaces, gardens and buildings. The overall vision is not as intuitive as the castle.
"I have one at home too, and it's not much smaller than it. The castle in the royal city of Sheila is so majestic. When you see it, you will naturally know the difference between the two."
Even though Olina said nothing more, he still heard a hint of envy in the other person's tone.
After all, after the decline of the family, it was an empty city with no one to take care of it.
"Are you Ambassador Xia? Please follow me." An old man dressed as a butler bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, "The Lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
