Chapter 26:

"This arrow penetrated its abdomen, smashed two ribs, almost pierced through the heart, and the tip of the arrow still had a barb with a fine thorn. If it was pulled out without any preparation, this one The cat may die on the spot."
It looks like he is about forty years old, his face is slightly vicissitudes, the middle-aged man with a sharp inch put down the blood-stained knife in his hand, and smiled at you: "Fortunately, you delivered it in time. It's really hopeless at all."
You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and gratefully said: "Thank you, Uncle Otto, I really trouble you this time."
After the arrow is smashed, you can finally heal the injured cat, but the healing technique can only heal the physical wound, but the lost blood can’t make up for it, so even if you cure the cat with magic It’s still very weak and it’s difficult to even stand up, but it still sticks out its tongue and licks your fingers gratefully.
"Well, Mey, I remember you have never had a pet, is it too wasteful to use precious magic power on this kind of little guy?" The middle-aged man scratched his head in confusion, as if he didn't understand your behavior.
It's not that men are too cold-blooded, but that in the concept of people in this world, all living things are born unequal, especially people living at the bottom who have to do their best for their daily survival. Where there is excess His kindness is wasted on things that are not related to him.
As we all know, the number of magicians is scarce, especially the only light mage with healing abilities. Even in your small town with a population of tens of thousands, count the number of priests and apprentices in the healing clinic. The number of mages can be counted with both hands, and besides the expensive magic spar, the magic power of the magician can only be recovered slowly by relying on his own meditation. Therefore, the behavior of wasting magic power like you is in the eyes of other people. It seems very weird.
This is probably like in modern society, a poor person who is not already rich, for the sake of a dying puppy on the side of the road, all his little money is used to treat this dying little boy. Dogs, maybe some people think this person is very kind and selfless, but most people will think that this person is too maddened to have a brain disease and doesn't even care about his own life for a dog.
Selfishness and kindness are both human natures. Perhaps most people will not be stingy with the meager kindness until they do not harm their own interests, but in the case of self-consciousness, blind charity is actually very stupid. .
For the man’s confusion, you pursed your lips and smiled, and you didn’t explain your abnormal behavior in the eyes of people in this world. Everyone has their own ideas and thoughts, and uses the so-called moral kidnapping to force others to agree. Your behavior is actually very excessive.
"Uncle Otto, sorry, I didn't bring much money with me when I went out. Is this enough? I will bring you next time if it is not enough." You took out seven or eight copper coins from your pocket and handed them to the middle-aged man.
"The last time Xia broke her naughty leg, I haven't paid you the cost of treatment for her. Why am I embarrassed to collect your money? Get it back. If my wife knows that I took your money, go back. I am blamed if she didn't kill him." The man waved his hand quickly.
When you wanted to say something, a clear and pleasant cry came from the second floor.
"Mee! Why don't you tell us when you are here!"
You look up along the sound source, and you see an orc girl with a pair of black and white round beast ears lying on the railing and waving at you happily.
There are patches on her face that resemble leopard prints, her mouth is like a cat-like three-petal mouth, and there are several symmetrical beards on each side of her cheeks. When she speaks, the beards on both sides also tremble.
Compared with humans, she has more orc racial characteristics remaining on her body.
"Wow...Is Little Mey here? Did he bring something delicious again?"
The sound that sounded immediately was a little more tender and soft, accompanied by the cute footsteps of dong dong dong, and suddenly a muffled sound of ‘pak’, and then you heard the unceremonious laughter of the bunny girl Lisi.
"Lolo, you stupid. You don't look at the road when you walk. You deserve to fall."
"Woooo—Lisi, you hate it! I'm not playing with you anymore, I'm going to find Little Mei!"
"Even if you find Mey, you can't change the fact that you are a fool."
"Wow-Lolo is not a fool!"
Listening to the noise on the second floor, you sighed helplessly.
The name of the Orc who spoke first was Resha. She was a girl from the Leopard race. She was agile and swift. Regardless of her short stature and slender limbs, few people in the mercenary group could win the fight. As for her, coupled with Reza's outgoing and outgoing personality, she became one with everyone not long after joining the group.
The girl named Luoluo is a wood fairy. She entered the mercenary group with her brother, but her brother is an archer, and Luoluo is an intermediate wood mage. He is more than two hundred years old, but according to the rule that the fairies are only five hundred years old, Lolo, who is only more than two hundred years old, is actually still a child when converted into a human age.
As for the bunny girl Lisi, although she looks cute and well-behaved on the outside, she is faint on the inside. Almost no one in the mercenary group can escape her claws, especially the wood fairy Lolo and you are her focus. The object of oppression.
"May, you came just right, we are discussing something, you come to give us a comment."
Confused, you were dragged to the second floor by Reza who suddenly jumped off the second floor.
This double-storey wooden house on the outskirts of the city is a place rented by everyone from the mercenary group. The backyard is used to store collective supplies and goods. The second floor is recognized as the place for the girls in the mercenary group, and the first floor is It was assigned by other members. The few members who did not have a family lived here. As for the living room, it was a common place for everyone to discuss and discuss each time they received a task.
You thought that Reza was pulling you in such a hurry for something important, but when you understood the cause of the matter, when you felt the black line, your head grew bigger.
"Mr. Doberman of'Enchanting Night' is definitely more popular!"
"But I think "Dream Paradise" Mr. Ron is better. The Orc named Dubin is very handsome, but it's scary to keep his face cold all day long."
"Your taste is too low. In terms of beauty, Mr. Segon, the mermaid, won."
"No matter how beautiful it is, what's the use? I can see it but I can't, and every time I see that fish, I can't control my nature. I almost treat it as food several times."
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, you couldn't help but twitch the corner of your mouth, and silently lit a candle to Mr. Segon in your heart.
Yes, the important event they are discussing is arguing which Cowherd is more popular.
The topic of reproduction and in this world is not as secretive as the world you used to be. People don’t feel that reproduction and sexuality are shame and embarrassment, even the knights and priests of the Holy See. Personnel can also marry and marry, and like other races, as long as the body matures, they will automatically look for a spouse at the time of reproduction.
Fairy tribes generally have matured physically when they are about one hundred years old. Adulthood at five hundred years of age refers to the mature period of mind and magic, so even the wood fairy, Luo Luo, who is still a child in your eyes, is actually I already have X experience as an adult.
As for Lisi and Reza, who are already frequent customers of several Cowherd stores, they can naturally be ignored.
"Actually, I think Mr. Lillis of'Enchanting Night' is also good, that is, every time he gets excited, he loves to the blood of the other party. As a result, the guests who have been with him have to be nursed for at least half a month to recover. Come here, if there is no such bad habit, I think his ranking should be higher." Luo Luo suddenly interrupted.
"No, you actually like that vampire?" Reza's eyes widened in surprise, and she wrinkled her nose and looked disgusted, "Can't you smell him?" Is there a stinking smell on my body? Just within a few meters of him, I'm almost stinking to death."
The leopard humans have a very sensitive sense of smell. For ordinary people, the light smell is at least ten times larger in their sense of smell. Therefore, Reza does not like some opposite sexes with heavier body odor.
Lolo blinked innocently, "But I can't smell it either. You also know that our wood fairy is only sensitive to plants."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but spit out: "You are ashamed to say me, the Ron you chose before is an old fairy who is over a thousand years old, and you have to talk about that kind of grandpa."
Fairies are a long-lived race, and their appearance will remain the same as they were when they died. It is difficult to tell the true age of fairies from their appearance. Only fairies of the same race can distinguish each other. Specific age.
"It doesn't matter how old he is." Reza waved her hand indifferently: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if he looks good and capable."
"I also think Mr. Ron is very good. I called him last month, and when I woke up in the morning, he gave me a bunch of flowers." Lisi held her face shyly.
Luo Luo was completely speechless, "Did a bunch of flowers buy you... By the way, Little Mey, which one do you think is better?"
Suddenly you were taken aback for a while, facing three pairs of curiosity eyes, a drop of invisible sweat dripped from your forehead.
"Both are very good..." You replied dryly.
Obviously they are not satisfied with this perfunctory answer.
"Hey, it sounds like Mey hasn't been to the Cowherd Store yet, right?"
"Yes, every time Shalena says you don't want to go, so we didn't call you."
"By the way, isn't there an event in the store "Enchanting Night" tomorrow? How about we take her to see the world!"
"Wait! Could it be the one interrogating the enemy knights?"
"It feels interesting."
"Um... you go and play, I won't go." You pursed your lips and whispered.
You know that you are now working as a mermaid breeder part-time in the Cowherd's shop in ‘Enchanted Night’. If Lisi and the others knew about it, you would have no face to meet people.
And you are also afraid that your sister will think more when she knows it. You probably guessed the reason for her busyness recently. She may also feel a little guilty for asking you to advance so much money and even mortgage the priest's medal. You I don't want to put extra pressure on her anymore.
Except for some old members, Shalena didn't talk to others about the mercenary group being sued for compensation, so Lisi and the others still don't know.
In your meditation, you feel three pairs of eyes staring at once again.
You suddenly have a bad feeling.
Before you tried to run, Lis smiled maliciously and turned to the other two people and said, "Hurry up and grab this Mey. You can't let her run this time!"
"Roger that!"
"Block the door!"
Before your hand touched the door panel, Lisi hugged your upper body, and a wood fairy Lolo was thrown into your arms, and the door was strictly blocked by Resa.
"You don't want to run away this time."
"Yes, even if you are tied, you must be tied!"
Just as you were playing together, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"What are you doing?" Shalena was stunned.
At the bottom, you turned your head hard, crying for help, "Sister, save me."
Shalena looked at you for a moment, and then gave you a smirk that made you quite familiar.
Your heart suddenly chuckles with anxiety.
...
Somewhere far away from the Demon's Forest, thousands of miles away from the Balsado Empire, a and terrifying death scene is being staged at this moment.
At a glance, the dense white skeletons are still cruelly slaughtering the few survivors. Judging from their costumes and weapons, these people should be adventurers who have strayed here.
After killing the last person, all the skeletons seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and Qi Qi stopped their actions.
But for a moment, the sound of footsteps similar to the feet of a large beast stomping on dead leaves and broken bones went from far to near.
A fierce riding beast with a terrifying face and a tall adult man slowly approached the corpses of these dead adventurers.
On the back of the riding beast sits a tall figure wrapped in pitch black armor. On top of his head is a pair of thick and strong demon horns, and only a pair of cold and ruthless dark purple eyes are exposed under the helmet. The shattered corpses came from under the helmet with a dull and hoarse voice of displeasure.
"Hines, what use is it for you to kill more of this kind of waste?"
"Your Majesty, you have just awakened from the seal, these human souls can nourish your body, please rest assured, I have found the location of your heart container that was taken away, and I will bring the container to Dedicated to you in front of you."
There was a gentle and moonlight male voice from the skeleton group, but the source of such a pleasant sound was a skeleton in a black robe, with only bone fingers holding a pale staff, two A little green flame swayed in the hollow eye sockets of the skull, which was chilling.
The tall figure in black armor fell on the white bone skeleton in the black robe with a cold, blade-like gaze.
"Where is the container?" His tone was impatient, and he didn't seem to want to wait for the other party to slowly bring what he wanted to him.
"Your Majesty, please don’t worry. Your current state is not suitable for appearing in front of the public. I know that with your strength, you don’t need to fear anyone, but now your magic and heart have not recovered. If they perceive your awakening, if they come out in full force, it will be a big obstacle to our plan." In the cold eyes of the other party, the bone skeleton said unhurriedly.
"Hines, if you let me down, I swear in the name of the devil, it will make you worse off than death."
After dropping this sentence, the dark figure drove the riding beast towards the depths of the Demon Forest.
"call……"
As soon as the other party left, the bone skeleton suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "To wake up such an uncontrolled terrible monster, it seems that this long peaceful continent will soon face an interesting change. ."
Having said this, the bone skeleton chuckled unclearly.
"Really look forward to."
