Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 490

c484 Are you the humanoid succubus?

On the wide road, a sturdy donkey pulled a fully loaded truck and creaked over the hard frozen soil, moving forward steadily towards the sunset.

A middle-aged man with a shabby beard sat on the rafters of the cart. He raised his hand and took out two carrots from the bag on his shoulder, generously stuffing them into the donkey’s mouth, so that the livestock carrying the truck could eat and drink enough and hurry on.

As the familiar scenery around him gradually faded, the familiar hometown behind him completely sank below the horizon. The middle-aged man looked at his daughter who was nestled beside him. He had no nostalgia for his hometown, but instead felt fortunate to have escaped from the cage.

Thanks to the reliable and kind-hearted demon hunters from Heath Island, otherwise, his daughter and even he would have to give up his life in the village today.

At the same time, in the carriage.

Ciri picked up the surrounding eggs, fruits, dried meat and other rural specialties, and counted the gold, silver and copper coins and some shiny gem jewelry that were about to fill the carriage again and again, and her pretty face flushed with excitement.

As the princess of the Kingdom of Cintra, although she is not short of money, she still feels very fulfilled to make a fortune with her own ability.

Unfortunately, the money does not come from a legitimate source.

Ciri put down the handful of gold, silver and copper coins in her hand and asked Lorne hesitantly:

“Let us exorcise the demons, and you robbed all the villagers. Isn’t it a bit too much?”

“Isn’t what I am doing exorcising demons?”

Lorne took a bite of the apple and asked back nonchalantly,

“You don’t think that only non-human monsters in this world are demons, do you?”

Ciri heard the implication and suddenly realized it.

That’s right.

Demons kill people, and people kill people. Those villagers who have lost their sense of right and wrong, dare not resist the fog monster, but raise their knives to the weaker people, are they not a kind of demon in human skin?

Realizing this, Ciri’s remaining pity for those villagers also disappeared.

She looked down at the gold, silver and copper coins in the carriage that were almost submerged to her calves, and still disagreed with some of Loen’s practices:

“But you are too mean, aren’t you? You said we were passing merchants, and you used the excuse that the goods were damaged by the fog monster to extort 30,000 gold coins from them.”

“Although we are not merchants, there are many merchants who were dragged into the cave by the fog monster as food. And if you look into it, if it weren’t for these idiots in the village who have been doing evil sacrifices for years, the little fog monster wouldn’t have caused such a big mess and poisoned the area.”

Loen answered lightly while chewing an apple,

“We helped them solve the problem, and only asked them to pay some hard work fees and spiritual compensation. We didn’t burn their houses together, which was already merciful.”

“You call this merciful?”

Ciri looked at the carriage full of gold, silver and jewelry, recalled the scene of the villagers crying and hugging their heads before leaving, and their eyes like sending the plague god, and couldn’t help but suspect that someone was bragging.

Although they were not able to collect 30,000 gold coins in the end, and did not force the whole village to death, after Loen’s “friendly donation” and digging deep into the ground, Ciri estimated that they had taken away at least 80% of the village’s wealth, which instantly turned the originally wealthy village into a poor family struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Hearing the doubt, Loen picked up a few exquisite and elegant jewelry from the sundries and threw them to Ciri:

“Look carefully, how could so many precious jewelry appear in a remote village? Although those villagers did not have the courage to fight the fog monster, they probably used the fog monster to make money. This was not their thing in the first place, so what’s the problem with me snatching it? Moreover, this is also for their own good, they should thank me!”

“What do you mean?”

Ciri learned from the previous lesson, did not refute, and put on a posture of humbly seeking advice.

Loen threw down the core and snorted coldly:

“Sacrificing human lives to the fog demon can be a big or small matter. If it’s a small matter, it’s being deceived by the monster, and those who don’t know are innocent; if it’s a big matter, it’s engaging in evil sacrifices, stealing money and killing people, blaspheming the gods, and it’s unforgivable. This time, it’s the demon hunters who come, and it can be solved with money; if the matter gets bigger, it’s those temple warriors who come, and it’s not too much to kill their whole family!”

“Hiss~~”

Ciri anticipated this possibility and couldn’t help but take a breath.

Yes, there are true gods in this world.

And there are many!

At the same time, they attach great importance to faith and extremely hate pagan worship.

And if those temple warriors really come after hearing the news, they are enough to slaughter the whole village just by the name of engaging in pagan worship.

In a sense, the guy in front of him really saved the lives of the whole village.

At this time, Loen presented facts and reasoned:

“Look, we bought back the lives of the whole village with just a little money. Moreover, we helped them erase the traces of the fog monster and took away the treasure that could easily lead to gossip. In addition, they will definitely not dare to have any relationship with the fog monster this time, and the final hidden danger will be gone. For this service, this input-output ratio, is it expensive to charge them 30,000 gold coins?”

“Not expensive at all!”

Ciri nodded vigorously and exclaimed seriously,

“It’s worth 100,000 gold coins!”

Hearing this, looking at Ciri’s seemingly admiring eyes, Rose on the side secretly gave a thumbs up to her new boss.

He actually sold others and asked them to help count the money and be grateful!

He is indeed an evil god who is more evil, more shameless, and more treacherous than her.

And Galadriel on the side couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch her forehead, and couldn’t bear to look at Ciri who was fooled.

After all, she is an elf in her thirties, but she is not as naive as Ciri.

Punishing the villagers and collecting gold and silver treasures was just Lorne’s original purpose. To say that he could save the villagers from future disasters was purely to beautify his actions.

As Galadriel coughed slightly, Ciri seemed to remember something, patted her head, and said generously to Lorne:

“Aren’t you very short of money? Well, what’s in the carriage is all yours. I didn’t contribute anything after entering the village anyway. Besides, when we finish the task at Heather Island, the bonus will be shared equally among us.”

“When did I say I was short of money?” Lorne was confused.

“Then why are you knocking so much?” Xili was equally confused.

“I’m not in need, but they are.” Lorne raised his hand and pointed to the employer and his daughter driving the car outside the curtain.

Xili suddenly realized: “The money you want is for them?”

“Otherwise? I’m afraid they have spent all their savings in order to hire a demon hunter. When this journey is over, we can’t let them sleep on the street, right? The houses near Heather Island are not cheap.”

Hearing this, Xili’s face suddenly turned red.

She lived a good life, but she didn’t expect this.

Lorne took out an apple from the basket and added while chewing:

“Since it was the old father who risked his life to invite the demon hunter and killed the mist monster for the village, then the money will naturally belong to them. This can be regarded as the people in the village to compensate their father and daughter for their gratitude. It’s reasonable to treat the expenses as moving expenses, right?”

“You’ve even thought about this!”

Shirley looked at the man in front of her in surprise, her expression becoming more and more admired.

During the process of “politely soliciting donations”, the father and daughter had spent all their savings on hiring a demon hunter and could not come up with any money, so they were forced by Lorne to get into the car and carry their belongings for them, acting as coolies to pay off the debt. .

Ciri thought Lorne was simply putting on a show to avoid arousing suspicion.

Unexpectedly, he not only took this opportunity to take the father and daughter out of the village, so that they would not be retaliated by the villagers who noticed the strangeness afterwards, but also prepared the settlement expenses for the father and daughter. It was simply A perfect example of how one step counts for a hundred steps.

In comparison, his own behavior seemed much more reckless and immature.

Shirley knocked her head in shame, and then thought of a new question:

“So, you are sure that you can win that bet?”

“Not too stupid.”

Lorne nodded and explained with a smile,

“If those villagers really knew right from wrong, they would have picked up knives to fight the mist demon or escaped from the village. Those who can stay are mostly timid and humble blood. They have been disciplined by [tradition] for a hundred years. , even if you unlock their shackles, the first thing they do is not thank you, but swing their swords at the weaker ones.

You will lose, isn’t that normal? ”

“That makes sense.”

Xili suddenly realized it, and then touched the silver sword behind her, feeling a little depressed.

“So, shouldn’t I show this kindness? Not only did I put myself in danger, but I almost harmed the father and daughter.”

“No, there is nothing wrong with kindness itself. It’s just that you need to use your brain more before taking action.”

Lorne shook his head and gave his opinion,

“In this world, good people may not necessarily die, and bad people may not die. Only stupid people will die first.”

After hearing this, Xili felt enlightened and bowed her head in sincerity.

At this moment, she was so convinced that she had lost that she couldn’t help but pat her chest and said loudly:

“Tell me, how much does Galadriel owe you? As agreed, I will pay it back for her!”

When Lorne heard this, a hint of joking appeared on his face:

“Before you place your bet, you should first ask what exactly Galadriel owes me.”

Ciri’s eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in her heart. She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Galadriel in the corner.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it, Galadriel could only expose her shortcomings, and smiled bitterly and told her the debt of gratitude and labor time she owed.

As the truth was revealed, Shiri suddenly felt like the world was falling apart.

Lorne pretended to be serious and thoughtful, and said in a wicked way:

“The last lesson is, nine times out of ten you gamble, you’d better cheat less.”

Seeing Ciri signing the employment contract with a sad face, and then wailing into Galadriel’s arms, Lorne opened the curtains refreshed and chatted about home affairs with the middle-aged man who was driving the carriage.

And Rose, who also witnessed a good show, couldn’t help but walk out of the carriage with great satisfaction.

“This is for you, it’s very sweet.”

A white hand stretched out from one side and handed over a yellow-orange pear. The girl with long flaxen hair looked gratefully at the dark elf sister who had saved her.

Along the way, after her old father’s explanation, she roughly understood what was going on, and she was grateful to the demon hunters who eradicated the mist demon and saved her and the village.

Rose wanted to refuse, but her hand accidentally took the pear.

When you take a bite, the sweet juice explodes in your mouth, bringing you the slightest pleasure and satisfaction.

It was like an experience that had lasted for a long time, and a voice in my heart seemed to be ringing in the dark.

Seeing that Rose was a little distracted, Lorne couldn’t help but sit over and ask:

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

“What’s wrong?”

Rose came to her senses, shook her head to show that she was fine, then pointed to the car and changed the subject.

“Sir, even if a little mortal girl like this has some talent, she is not worthy of making a contract with you personally, right?”

“You don’t understand, they are very useful.”

Lorne replied vaguely, his eyes twinkling.

Winning Galadriel, Rose, Ciri and the other three into his hands is not because he covets the beauty and body of these women.

What he really cares about is the “weight of destiny” and “possibility” given to these women.

Just as Hecate pointed out to him back then, fate is never fair, and the attention and power given to different lives are never the same.

And because the entire Nordic world has undergone changes for some reason, the direction of destiny is even more confusing.

Whether we can gather enough shares of destiny before the arrival of Ragnarok to interfere with the trajectory of destiny is very important for the future layout.

On the other hand, it is better to have these [variables] that do not originally belong to the Nordic world in your own hands than to fall into the hands of outsiders.

Moreover, adding these [variables] together will have an impact on destiny and what changes will be caused in the future. This is also a question that Lorne needs to figure out.

If used properly, these three cards in your hand may play unexpected roles.

——For example, fishing out more [Variables] and [Destined People]?

If he accumulates enough [Company] shares in this way, he may be able to kick away the three goddesses Olweg and Nolen, become the chairman of the Nordic World, and decide how to compose this [big movement] in the future.

~~

Tens of days later.

A green island appears on the horizon, and the majestic city walls are inlaid with various crystal stones that connect the magic power, reflecting colorful and magnificent colors from time to time.

A large number of businessmen, pilgrims, or tourists were walking in and out of the city gate that was tens of meters high. They were jostling each other and it was very lively.

Here we are, Heather Island!

Looking at his hometown that was completely different from what he remembered, Lorne couldn’t help but have mixed feelings.

After instructing Rose and Galadriel to settle the father and daughter, and Ciri going to hand in the task, he walked straight towards the former Temple of Plenty.

However, the building in front of him surprised him.

The sacred and solemn church in my impression has turned into a chamber of commerce with people coming and going.

Merchants exchanged their own information and products, or received business orders from tellers of different races at the counter, preparing to buy low, sell high, and make a fortune.

Looking at the giant wolf stone carvings on both sides of the steps, Lorne thought with his buttocks: This was probably the work of his good daughter Holo.

It allows you to develop business beliefs, but does not allow you to actually become a businessman.

Lorne secretly cursed, came to a counter, and asked the teller girl with dwarf features:

“Is Master Holo here? I want to see you.”

“I’m sorry, Lord Holo has a big deal with the Dwarf Kingdom and is currently not in Middle-earth.”

The dwarf girl who flipped through the records answered seriously, and then reminded her in a friendly manner,

“Also, even if Lady Holo comes back, if you want to see Lady Holo, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make an appointment.”

“Why?”

“Because Lady Holo’s guest list has been arranged for 30 years. She will not meet outsiders without special reasons.”

After hearing this, Lorne didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Unexpectedly, only a hundred years have passed, and his daughter’s status and dignity have risen sharply.

Forget it, he doesn’t know how to face Hela yet, so it’s better not to meet Holo first.

After giving up the idea of ​​reuniting with his adopted daughter, Lorne turned and walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and came to the door of the tavern he had agreed with Ciri, Rose, and Galadriel.

It is said to be a [Tavern], but perhaps this place should be called [Adventurer’s Guild] more appropriately.

Pushing the door open, there are heavily armed human warriors and warlocks, as well as distinctive dwarves, half-elves, elves and gods everywhere.

Some of them are drinking, some are recruiting teammates, and some are receiving and handing over tasks…

Looking at the bustling hall, Lorne’s eyes flickered.

On the way, Ciri once told him that the person who built the [Tavern] was none other than his good daughter Holo.

The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for maintaining the operation of the [Tavern] and issuing tasks regularly, using generous rewards to call on adventurers from the nine countries to complete the tasks.

Over the past hundred years, with the expansion of the Chamber of Commerce, [Taverns] have also opened in nine major countries, becoming a platform for mutual trade and exchanges between different races.

It has to be said that Holo changed the temple into a chamber of commerce and changed her faith from bright to dark, which was indeed a clever move.

This not only avoids the competition with the Asa Protoss for faith, but also does not easily leave a trail.

This girl has so many evil ideas.

Lorne lamented the growth of his adopted daughter, and quickly looked around at Ciri who was chatting with the female bartender in front of the counter.

She was a tall, plump and beautiful woman with tan skin. Her dexterous hands flipped up and down to easily make a beautiful glass of wine with different color layers.

cocktail?

Could it be that she is also a variable related to [destiny]?

Lorne was stunned and walked over calmly.

“You’re here?”

Seeing Lorne arriving, Shirley at the counter excitedly waved and pointed at the female bartender behind her to introduce him.

“This is Wu Lu, my godmother Yennefer’s friend, currently working in the tavern.”

“Lorne, nice to meet you.”

Lorne took the initiative to extend his hand, and the female bartender responded politely with a smile.

However, the moment their skins came into contact, an electric current seemed to surge through Lorne’s body, and his blood, muscles, and even souls resonated happily.

At the same time, the desire that had been suppressed for a long time surged in his body, and he couldn’t help but have a strange impulse to pin down the female bartender in front of him and kill her on the spot.

Humanoid succubus?

As this thought popped up in his mind, Lorne quickly let go and looked at the brown-skinned female bartender behind the counter strangely.

At the same time, the female bartender quickly retracted her arm, her face was full of red clouds, her eyes were like a pool of spring water, and her body trembled slightly.

It seemed that in this contact, her reaction was more intense.

What’s going on?

The sudden situation made Lorne’s mind full of question marks, and he couldn’t help but have a strong interest in this strange female bartender.
