"Why do you..." Jace's words just started when Xu Jun cut him off: "Do you want to ask me why I gave such precious alchemy materials to that bishop?"
Jace nodded.
Unicorns are known as the most pure family, but even they don't give away their property like this to someone who has nothing to do with them at all.
Humans are different from unicorns. Whether it is a monster unicorn or a unicorn, their weak reproductive ability makes them more grouped. They will attach great importance to the same clan. It is no exaggeration to say that the unicorn family is the real one. A race that can treat other people's parents as their own, and other people's cubs as their own cubs.
But even so, it's just a clan hugging each other. Although the number of unicorns is small, there are still many other ethnic groups.
Just like humans, they are scattered all over the continent and live in groups. So what is the relationship between the humans in the city of Montama and the humans in the northern part of the Snow Blade Empire
There is no blood relationship at all, nor have they lived together for a long time, let alone two groups, what is the relationship between them
Will the unicorns in the Snow Mountains help the unicorns on the Moonlight Coast unconditionally like Xu Jun
Jace wanted to hear from Xu Jun what kind of person this brave man was, and he wanted to know now.
Xu Jun asked the two children to run ahead to lead the way, and gave them a few coins to buy some bread to bring to their grandfather. The two children didn't want it, but Xu Jun said that he was going to live in Mondama City for a period of time, and he was short of two tour guides. These coins were the wages of the tour guides. The children did not doubt that he had him, and did not think too much about why he wanted it alone. I invited two tour guides, and went to buy bread with a smile on my face.
"Buy white bread for grandpa..." "No, Lodina, white bread is too expensive."
In the end, the two children chose two pieces of semolina bread at a bread stand, enough for a strong man to eat for three days. The surface was a little gray, indicating that it was baked with white flour mixed with coarse grains.
This time, Xu Jun did not stop them, nor did he give them more money to buy white bread.
"If it means that as soon as I arrived in this city, I have a very deep feeling for the people here, sympathize with their experience, and want to help them, this is definitely impossible." Xu Jun said slowly.
In fact, after Jace asked him this question, he was also asking himself: Why? Why did you give this extremely high-level alchemy material to the Archbishop when you clearly knew the price and cherishment of Mog Rock? Could it be that he was very relaxed when he was collecting this material, so he didn't care at all
Of course not, there are thousands of materials in his backpack, some of which are low-level, which he got when he first entered the game, and some are of higher-level, which he got after going through a lot of hard work. Seabed, forest, desert, underground, each item represents a memory.
So in the end, he said all his true words: "Jess, you may not understand, we humans are completely different from your unicorns and dragons, our lifespan is very short, and our physical fitness is also poor. , most people can only live for a few decades before they die, this can't be changed. Maybe I can defeat the demon king, but I can't help my fellow clan, so when I encounter such a small thing, I can't help but want to Help. - However, I've thought about it, no one in the whole city can beat me, so even if I show good things, I'm not afraid of being robbed, eh."
Jace was quite moved when he heard the front, and finally took a deep breath: "...Hello."
Why is there no one in the city who can beat you? I'll hang you with Lance!
However, looking down at Lance, Mad, the dead child, was looking at the two human cubs running in front of him with admiration! - If this really starts, Lance will not help himself! After all, he recognized Xu Jun as his father!
The corners of Jace's mouth twitched, thinking that the white-eyed wolf is so scary.
Xu Jun stared at his unsightly face, and patted his head: "Oh, do you also want that Mog Rock? Just tell me if you want it, brother, I still have a few boxes here... Let's change it, I I don't ask you for anything else, can you give me a pinch of tail hair from your unicorn clan?"
Now Jace couldn't hold it any longer, and he said, "Go away!"
What a brave man! Actually showing off the wealth and showing off to Lao Tzu's head! ! !
The two children bought bread, and they claimed to be the tour guide Xu Jun had just hired. When they talked to Xu Jun, they relaxed a lot, especially the little girl. Now she dared to look up at Xu Jun's eyes, although the voice was still as fine as the chirping of mosquitoes. . The little boy, who is about seven years old this year, named Lodina, was picked up by his current grandfather seven years ago, and he avoided the fate of freezing to death outside or being eaten by wild dogs. The little girl is six years old and her name is Lily, the name given to her by her poor mother who died in childbirth. Her father was an alcoholic who slept on the street drunk two years ago, and was stripped of his clothes by robbers. The coins were robbed and people were killed. After that, little Lily lived with her neighbor's grandfather and little brother Lodina.
Children's eyes are very pure, and they can't see sin and ugliness, so Lodina and Lily tell Xu Jun and others these things almost like a story.
Lodina: "There are children on the street who say that we are not good. We are cursed to be like this. We are little devils, but they can't beat us, hahaha!"
Lily can also let go now: "When Lodi was fighting, I gave him a look at the wind, big brother... No, uncle, we are very familiar with this place, every street knows it."
Xu Jun knew that the little girl was very careful. When she called her brother, she saw Lance, and then quickly changed her name to her uncle. Then she cautiously said that she was familiar with this place. Was she worried that she would be "fired" for being a bad tour guide?
A bit smart, but still relatively innocent little girl.
A child like her should have been a baby in her parents' hands.
They went to the slum, which was actually only three blocks away from the church. The houses on the left and right sides of this street are completely different from the outside paintings, and the people's spiritual outlook is also different. The residents of Montama City live in stone houses, most of which are bungalows and two-story buildings, as well as four or five-story buildings. Most of the houses here are shanties. The houses are built with wood. Some places that should be doors and windows are covered with oil cloth. , Some people use a layer of tarpaulin under the animal fur, which can barely keep out the wind and rain.
"Uncle, we're here, this is my house." The little boy Lodi changed his name when he saw Lily. Although he didn't know why, he changed it. The conditions of their house are actually better than those next to them. At least the fur of the animals is relatively complete. This used to be the proudest thing about Lodi, but now he leads a few well-dressed adults (Lance because of his The juvenile figure is also included in the category of adults) When he comes to play at home, he is... a little embarrassed _(:зゝ∠)_
The people in the room heard the sound outside, opened the curtain and walked out. This is a rickety and weak old man, but his steps are still steady and his hands are not shaking. After seeing Xu Jun and others, the old man's eyelids trembled fiercely, and he was still calling the child: "Are you back? Lodina Where are you taking Lily?"
Although the old man looked like an ordinary old man on the street, and his clothes were more dirty than others, Xu Jun could tell at a glance: this was an old-fashioned adventurer.
How can adventurers be the same as ordinary people? Even if you are old and dying, there are differences in temperament and behavior.
Of course, ordinary people really can't see it.
Lodina and Lily ran over and hugged the old man: "Grandpa, we're back! We've brought medicine! And big bread! It's not brown bread! No brown bread today!"
"Oh!" The old man's old face smiled wrinkled, like a wrinkled flower: "You know, grandpa won't eat brown bread when you are in your light. Go, go and play in the house."
The two children ran into the house, and Xu Jun heard a tinkling sound, maybe something had been knocked down. The old man and Xu Jun and the others simply stood still in the room. Both of them were silent. The old man closed his eyes and opened them, as if he had made a decision: "I knew this day would come."
Xu Jun is not aware of it: Meow meow meow? What is this unfolding
His old eyes are very cloudy, the muscles on his cheeks are drooping, and he looks like he is ten years older: "Let the children on your side come in too, there are some things they shouldn't let them hear."
This was referring to Lance, who looked like a half-year-old.
Lance nodded, looking very happy, and said, "Dad, I went in and ran into the old man's hut. The child had a great time watching Lodina and Lily run and dance and buy bread along the way. I couldn't bear it any longer.
This is probably the disadvantage of living in a one-child family, and even the entire group has few cubs. Lance has never played with his peers since he was a child.
The old man and Xu Jun and Jess... mainly Xu Jun, told a story.
"As soon as I saw your attire, I understood. Young man, you betrayed you with the knight's crest hidden inside the collar of the leather armor. It showed a small horn, although it was very old, it was golden... Golden Knight You won't come to the slums, I know what you're here for."
"Forty years ago, when I was only twenty-five years old, I was living in the southern part of the Golden Banner Empire. My younger brother and I believed in the God of Light. We were both adventurers and of course mercenaries. In May we will go to the church in the center of the city to pray, and if it is a small place without a cathedral, we will go to the monastery, with my brother and I."
"I remember, it was a gloomy afternoon. My brother and I just went to the market and sold the hooves of the prairie bison. We made six silver coins and fifty copper coins. We decided to divide the money into two parts, one One to keep and one to put in the charity box of the monastery, because we are very devout believers. Can you imagine that young men, two poor adventurers, could be so devout. We arrived at the door of the monastery and also We were joking that business was good today and the God of Wealth was on our side... It was not a day for worship, so there was no one in the hall, and when we put the coins into the box, we heard someone's sharp point under the floor It sounds like a child's cry. But there is no one there. From the inner room to the outer hall, it is completely empty, but we can indeed hear someone calling for help. It is very weak. If we are not warriors, our five senses are better than ordinary people. If it is strong, you may not even hear it.”
"Then we discovered that there was actually a secret door in the inner room. After pushing it open... we saw two monks, yes, there is no bishop in such a small place. Those two monks are virtuous and are using cruel means to rape... A child, do you believe it? Sir, we saw such a hideous scene with our own eyes. The child was too young to tell his gender, and there was another child, lying on the ground, in a pool of blood, The body has not moved, I don't know if it's dead or alive. I... I don't really remember what happened after that, but it turned out that I was standing, two monks died, and a metal candlestick was inserted into my brother's waist, He was dying too, with tears all over his face."
"The two children were already dying. When I went to see them again, I found that the one who had already collapsed was already dead. It was a girl, about six or seven years old. The other boy was not too old. It was also broken. He told me that my uncle hurts so much. I realized that one of the two children was a small beggar nearby and the other was an orphan who was sent. They were usually dirty, but today they are so clean that I Can't even recognize them... I buried their bodies in the garden and didn't have time to bury my brother because someone else came to the monastery afterwards. I was covered in blood, very obvious, but I rushed out of the town and went into incognito after that On the life of a wanted man, here, in Montama City."
After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to be mentally relaxed: "Young people, you must be here to arrest me, I know very well... But let me settle Lily and Lodi first? They are still too young... I have to take them. Go to another city, not in Montama City."
"The Sect of Light... It's not the real light, bishops, monks, they are virtuous and use evil methods to mutilate the common people, I have to take them away. Sir Knight, I will not run away, I am old, and killing people will pay for their lives. No loss."
The old man closed his eyes and waited for Xu Jun's "trial."
However, Xu Jun just opened his mouth wide and stunned: "..." What the hell? ! What does this mean? ! ! !
Baby - Baby is really just worried about these two children and their grandfather, so come to the house to see the situation!
Why did you tell me so much all of a sudden? ! ! ! - So old man, what do you expect me to do? ! How could I arrest you! Wouldn't I have done more than you if I had been there! ! !
