Cole was not afraid when he saw Zach's angry look. He felt that Zach would have difficulty standing up in his life. Judging from Zach's current injuries and the methods of the mercenary team leader Mulla, the final result of this incident is likely to be that Zach is ruthlessly abandoned by the mercenary team.
Of course, it would be too ruthless to say that it is abandoned, but the method of handling it should be like this: considering that Zach is too seriously injured to walk, and it will be difficult to deal with the dangers that the mercenary team will encounter in the future, then Mulla will keep Zach Recuperate in an inn and give a large sum of money to the innkeeper.
This money is mainly the reward that Zac deposited in Mulla's hands after completing the mission during this period, and it may be as much as one or two gold coins. There is also a small amount of money raised by teammates in the team for Zach, maybe one silver coin, maybe a dozen copper coins. Of course, he won't make a penny.
Give the money to the innkeeper, and the three-person mercenary team will leave. Zach's wealth and life will all fall into the hands of the innkeeper.
If the hotel owner was kind, he would bring food and drinks to Zach every day, arrange for the staff to take care of Zach, and maybe even ask a doctor to treat Zach. In this way, as long as Zach's vitality is relatively strong, it is very likely that he will recover before the money runs out. If you are lucky enough to regain all your strength, you can successfully return to your original team, or you can join another team. Of course, quitting the mercenary career and going home to become a farmer is also an option.
If the hotel owner is evil, the situation will be different. For example, if you leave Zach in the cellar, leave him alone, and watch him die, you can bet a large sum of money. If the innkeeper is impatient, he will add some ingredients to Zach to help him die.
But under normal circumstances, innkeepers are somewhere between good and bad - they take care of Zach, but they can't be called caring. Whether Zach lives or dies depends entirely on Zach's body and luck.
In this regard, everyone in the mercenary team will not have any psychological barriers. After all, everything has nothing to do with them. It is the hotel owner, Zach's body and luck that control everything.
Therefore, in Cole's opinion, if Zach was so seriously injured that there was a great chance that he would never meet him again, then he could say what he wanted to say without fear.
Looking at Zach, Cole said: "Zach, no matter how you glare at me and say you have no brain, you just have no brain. If you hadn't come out before, if you weren't prepared to kill people with daggers, you would never be where you are now. Situation. Maybe that noble boy will be too lazy to pester us and give us the money directly. After all, it seems that the boy is not a person without money.
To put it bluntly, even if that kid took action, without you constantly attacking each other, we would not be so miserable, and we might not even be beaten. Let me tell you, the miserable state you are in now is completely deserved and brought upon yourself. "
Zach stared at Cole, as if he wanted to eat Cole.
But Cole continued as if he didn't see it: "Zach, let me tell you, Denise made the right choice to look down on you. Because she is with you, and sooner or later she will be implicated because of your stupidity. . I said, when you usually do things, do you really not think about the consequences? You know what's the use of beating and killing! Do you think you are a noble and there will be a whole family behind you? You wipe your butt..."
"Woo... Roar... Wu..."
…
At the same time, in Richard's room.
Richard walked back to the room, closed the door, looked at the finished scroll on the table, read it slowly, and tried to pick up the previous train of thought: "... Ring... Guess... Storage space... Failure... Test... Mana... Reaction... Verification... Test again… final guess… solution…”
At this time, Pandora, who had been sitting in the corner, came out of her daze, sniffed, looked at Richard, as if remembering something, and asked aloud: "You... went out just now?"
"Uh." Richard's eyes continued to fall on the papyrus scroll and he responded casually, "Yes."
"Scared?" Pandora asked why.
Richard answered aloud: "Nothing special, just two...well, three squirrels were barking outside. I gave them a lesson and drove them away."
"Squirrel!" Pandora's eyes lit up slightly. She had never seen a squirrel since she left the forest, and she ran towards the door.
Richard glanced at it and didn't care. After all, for now, except for real wizards, there really aren't many people in this world who can hurt Pandora.
Considering only the hard combat ability, he is no match for Pandora. Of course, if he actually fights, it is another matter. In short, Richard was very relieved about Pandora's safety. After seeing the other party go out, he didn't think much and continued to focus on the scroll.
…
On the other side, in Denise's room.
Cole was still talking about Zach unceremoniously. He was so out of breath that he wanted to jump out of bed and fight with Zach.
Denise couldn't help but feel a little sullen, and looked at Cole and said, "You're going too far, Cole! After all, Zach was injured because of you and me. Don't you feel guilty when you say that about him? ?”
"Whatever I feel guilty about, it's all because he's stupid. If he hadn't been stupid, he wouldn't have caused so many things. If he hadn't been stupid, he wouldn't have liked you..."
Denise raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Shut up and get out of here!"
"Get out! I'm too lazy to stay with a fool like him. I'm going back to my room." Cole said, turned around and walked away. Although there was some pain, he walked relatively smoothly.
Ignoring Denise's murderous look, Cole walked out the door, but the next moment he raised his eyebrows and saw something incredible.
A seven or eight-year-old pink girl, wearing purple clothes, was standing in the corridor, looking around as if looking for something.
Isn't this... that noble boy's little maid
Cole thought in his mind and couldn't help but have some evil thoughts.
That noble boy dared to let his little maid out, which was an advantage for him. The noble boy had beaten him before, so he could take it out on this little maid.
If the noble boy is weak, kidnapping the little maid can completely blackmail the noble boy into paying a large ransom. If the noble boy is very tough and doesn't care about the little maid, then he can kill the little maid to satisfy his hatred.
Yes, that’s it!
This is true intelligence!
The aristocratic boy before was talking about farts, but he was not stupid at all.
Thinking of this, Cole stepped towards the little girl in his sight.
The little maid was a little strange. She raised her head and frowned at him, then asked: "Have you...have you seen a squirrel?"
"Are you looking for a squirrel?" Cole was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly, "Little sister, you know, I am a squirrel."
"Well, what about your tail?" Pandora asked seriously.
Still wary
Cole's eyes flashed, and he had murderous intentions.
"Don't be anxious, I'll show you right now." Cole said softly, his hand already falling to his waist, and the next moment he pulled out the dagger and swung it out fiercely.
"Go to hell!"
