Chapter 54 The End of Blacksmith Black (please read it later)
"Ouch~"
The sound of a puppy?
Phillip was confused and walked over to open the door.
As a result, there was no one outside the door, and it was pitch dark and it was difficult to see anyone.
The boy felt strange and scratched his head—could someone be playing a prank?
He took two more steps forward, but something kicked under his feet, and there was a metallic sound.
"Boom."
Several yellow copper coins were kicked out by him and fell into the soil in front of him.
Um?
Phillip looked down and was stunned for a moment.
I saw a large pile of yellow copper coins piled at my feet, exuding an attractive metallic luster under the candlelight in the room.
money! A lot of money!
Where does the money come from? !
Did someone give it to me specially? !
He looked around in a panic, but still didn't find anyone.
This money is too much for ordinary residents of any border town. If it is seen, it will undoubtedly arouse greed and attract covetousness.
So Philip hurriedly squatted down, moved his hands together like a dog pawing sand, and threw all the copper coins into the room first.
"Oh my god, my god..."
After locking the door, the young man leaned against the door and slowly sat on the ground.
At this time, his heartbeat was pounding, his breathing was rapid, and he was still a little unbelievable.
Although it was rationally speculated that the money was specially given to him by someone, Philip felt as nervous as if he had stolen someone else's purse.
"Bang, bang..."
He didn't have time to think too much, and started to put the copper coins scattered on the ground into his piggy bank.
However, the jar is full and still cannot be filled.
There was no other way, so Philip had to hide the remaining copper coins under his mattress.
After doing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bed thinking about the origin of these copper coins.
First of all, it must have been deliberately placed at his door by someone.
But Phillip couldn't figure out who would give him so much money for nothing?
There are probably thousands of these copper coins!
The total number of copper coins that the boy has seen with his own eyes is far less than that! Of course, you have enough money to buy the ingredients for the potion.
Could it be some kind-hearted wealthy businessman passing by?
No, businessmen wouldn’t do that!
More likely, it's some kind-hearted and wealthy mage, right?
——The young man thought of some legendary stories he heard when he was a child.
But he quickly thought of another bad possibility: Could it be that some thief or thief left it at the door, trying to frame it? !
Just worrying about gains and losses, and being frightened, Philip felt that he was destined not to sleep tonight...
In
the shadow under the tree dozens of meters away,
Roja stood in the ghost curtain, watching the young man move all the copper coins in a panic. Got inside and locked the door.
"Ouch~?" The young dragon on the shoulder made a confused cry.
It didn't seem to understand why the owner went over to knock on the door, left a pile of things, and then quickly left.
Roja shook his head.
He came to see Phillip just to help the child as much as he could.
On the one hand, it was because he was grateful to the young man for helping him escape from Border Town when he first crossed over.
On the other hand, the two parties now also had a contractual relationship of interest. Helping Phillip was helping him.
But he doesn't need other people's gratitude, nor does he need someone to call him uncle and treat him as a resurrected relative.
Then, there is no need to recognize or meet the boy for the time being.
Haha, maybe this is "helping you, what does it have to do with you"?
Roja complained in his heart.
After all, he himself is not good at managing an intimate relationship, let alone one he "inherited" from someone else.
Besides, what can a child living in a normal human society have in common with a cold undead who can only hide alone in the mountains?
Therefore, the communication between the two parties should be pure and simple.
Taking a step back from all the above thoughts:
——At least Roja is not ready to recognize Philip yet.
However, there is one more thing to do before leaving.
He didn't want to give the boy a bunch of copper coins, only to have them snatched away by some bastard...
Late
at night, the moonlight illuminated the path. "Lulu Luo Luo~ Luo Luo Luo! Luo Luo Luo——"
Humming a ditty with unknown meaning in his mouth, the drunk blacksmith Blake was walking home.
Since Phillip was introduced to the werewolves and became an official member of the Eagle Group,
his "career" has been going very smoothly, except for the danger he encountered during the hunt with the pigman.
Not only did he become "brothers" by drinking, eating meat, whoring, robbing and blackmailing vendors with many people, but there were
also some people who were willing to teach him the skills to use various weapons and impart combat experience.
Even Scar, who laughed at him at first, gradually recognized him as a member of the group.
"Haha, I am a mercenary of the Eagle Group, are you afraid..."
Blake was swaying, laughing and talking drunkenly, while pulling out the iron sword from his waist and hacking at the weeds on the roadside at will.
When I got home, I opened the door.
Huh? It seems you forgot to lock the door?
He was about to go to bed and lie down, but found a figure sitting quietly on his bed.
Yu...Yule?
The blacksmith seemed to see the figure of the man who had died long ago.
He rubbed his eyes hard, looked carefully, and was shocked again!
Who is that figure? It's clearly a skeleton wearing Yule's clothes, boots, and felt hat when he was alive!
Yule?
Is it really that the skeleton monster Yule turned into is back?
The blacksmith's mind was a little dazed after consuming too much alcohol.
——Hehe, it’s good to be back, just in time to threaten that boy Philip again...
He clenched the iron sword in his hand and moved closer to Roja on the bed.
However, the next second,
Roja raised his head, blue flames appeared in his eyes, and a powerful mental intimidation suddenly hit the blacksmith's soul,
"Oh - uh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhhh -!" !"
Blake was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face full of horror, and he let out a loud scream.
"Puff! Puff..."
He couldn't control his body at all, and his feces and urine came out, and the filth flowed all over the floor.
"伱! Don't come over! Yu...Yule..."
Blake sat on the ground and trembled, his muscles so weak that it was difficult to move. His nose, sweat and tears were all over his face.
At this time, he was completely sober.
"Help! Help! There is a monster!!"
However, no matter how loud he screamed, the whole room was covered by the ghost curtain, and neither the sound nor the smell could be transmitted.
Roja heard him call Yule's name and nodded with satisfaction.
He put on the clothes he wore when he escaped from Border Town just to make the blacksmith regret countless times for what he had done when he went to hell.
Then, it's time to send him on his way.
Roja stood up from the bed and stepped closer to the man who was lying limply on the ground.
"Help! Help!! Jüle! Don't come here! I was wrong! I was wrong!!"
Roja's goal was achieved.
In addition to fear in the blacksmith's heart at this time, he was worried about provoking Jüle and Philip. remorse!
Even if he didn’t know why he was so frightened that he was weak when he saw Yule, he still understood where the disaster in front of him came from. It was because he was blackmailing his nephew!
"No! Don't..."
A slender spider silk hung down, wrapped around the blacksmith's neck, and then jerked upward!
"Uh! Uh - ugh! ugh!"
His throat was strangled tightly, Blake's eyes turned white and his tongue stuck out.
"Uh-!"
He didn't want to die and wanted to struggle to resist, but he couldn't move a finger under the mental coercion.
"Uh-"
His chest rose and fell vigorously, but he couldn't take in any air. The man was walking towards death step by step.
"Uh..."
After a few minutes, the blacksmith's pupils dilated and his tongue became motionless.
"..."
He is dead.
At this moment, a few lines of illusory text appeared in front of Roja's eyes:
[You have completed your revenge on the enemy who once threatened your life, and obtained the achievement "Avenger (Elementary)"] ...Thanks to book friends
