Chapter 75
Chapter 75
For Morifio's question, the answers chosen by Leon and Eldi are also different.
Leon said: "Raise the price of food?" Leon thought that what those people were asking for was profit.
Erdi: "Drive away the farmers?" Erdi thinks that what they are asking for is the land.
After answering, Leon looked at Eldi subconsciously. He felt that Eldi's answer should be closer to the correct one, right?After all, Eldi once had such a status and had contact with such people.
"Both. The small nobles and businessmen value the present, and what they want is profit. What the big nobles and big businessmen want is land, and there are people who leave the land." To cultivate the land, factory owners prefer to use workers. So on this point, all the nobles have reached an agreement. Once a famine occurs, the cold-blooded landlord nobles can always be seen driving away the peasants who cannot pay their debts. On the road leading to the city, there are carriages of well-meaning merchant nobles recruiting workers everywhere."
It is only right that a human knight utters such things, and it is a half-elf to say so in a sad, feeble tone.This half-elf knight also seems to be a person with a lot of stories.
While talking, a small hall appeared in front of the passage. Although there must be water pipes here for insulation, there is still a fireplace burning. The dim light is warm and soft, and it doesn’t feel hot in summer. The urge to take a nap on the sofa by the fireplace.Especially on the small table in front of the sofa, there are vases with roses, red wine and some snacks, which are full of fun in life.
In this overall view, everywhere is full of evil and twisted places, but there is such a warm place, which makes people feel a strong sense of disobedience.
This small hall is connected to a cloakroom. There are shoe cabinets and umbrella stands in the cloakroom. In addition, there are two passages: "The left is the accommodation area, and the right is the work area. Where do you go?"
"Working area." Between the working area and the small hall, there are three consecutive large iron doors separating them, but now these three large iron doors are open, or something is stuck underneath, just like the underground world. Same as other doors.Each research room here is larger than the research room in the main building outside. Each research room is filled with books and various equipment. The desktop is densely covered with drawings, and a larger model is placed beside it.
In addition, there must be a sofa and a small table in the corner of each research room, usually in front of the bookcase.It's just that the colors and styles are different. They also saw cats sleeping on the sofa in some research rooms, or pet dogs sleeping in the corner.
As we continued walking, traces of normal people's lives began to fade away. Some rooms looked like operating rooms, and the blood on the operating table was still wet.Some rooms are like herbariums. Inside the expensive alchemy crystal jars are all kinds of grotesque human organs soaked in antiseptic solution, even complete infants and young children, and deformed objects for unknown reasons.There are also rooms that look like slaughterhouses. The smell after opening them makes even a knight like Morifio retch.
"This is where ordinary people live." After the slaughterhouse, Leon pointed to two open doors, "One side is for men, and the other side is for women and children."
Those are two large square rooms. There are three layers of beds in the room. The bed on the highest layer is almost attached to the roof. Between the beds is a narrow passage that can only be passed sideways.The smell here is not much better, the stench of feces and urine is mixed with the smell of the human body. If you close your eyes, this place is more like a place for raising livestock, rather than a place for living people.
Continue to go, is the residence of the monsters.These monsters have a room for each "person", but in their dwellings, there is at most one metal bracket, other than that, there is not even a little bit of human decoration.
They walked through three such monster rooms, and Eldi sneered: "Those people say to restore status and dignity to ordinary people. Is this status and dignity? They themselves live like a noble and decent person, but treat These ordinary people are treated like domestic animals or... furniture? Their dogs and cats live with more dignity than humans, and in comparison, those nobles are more kind than them."
Morifio shook his head: "They don't regard themselves as saviors, they regard themselves as imaginary gods. But the real gods are much more benevolent than them."
Seeing that they came to the end, but the stone wall slid to one side before their eyes.
After the three people walked by, Leon turned around and pointed to a place that looked like a normal stone: "There is a brain there, from there to where you are standing, it is all within his control, or in other words, all of these It's his body. He can control the wall, and he can control some organs."
Aldi shivered: "I don't know, I can still be such an emotional person. Leon, can you kill him?" He closed his eyes, "This is too much... I don't think Miss Hilbert is crazy, and she's just the kindest girl."
Therefore, things have to be compared. In contrast, Miss Hilbert really makes people feel pure, kind and beautiful.
Morifio reached out his hand to touch the stone, and knocked it twice: "The sound sounds muffled, almost the same as the solid one. Moreover, I can't feel the fluctuation of life... There must be an added anti-detection tool here. The magic circle, or some special materials, if I come to search, I can't know that there is a secret room here. If there is no thing here, we can only use the people and things outside to prove what the scientists said. "
"Don't call them scientists, they are a group of lunatics in the name of science." Leon said, since those people called themselves "scientists", he felt uncomfortable, calling them that over and over again, and he also It's getting more and more uncomfortable - vaguely, he once knew such a group of scientists, a group of real scientists.
"We have to live."
"What is science? Science is to enable more people to live better."
"Hahaha, science is the primary productive force, we can't let this sentence become a lie."
"Xiao Lai, being with us Frankensteins has made you suffer."
I couldn't see their faces clearly, only vague voices, and the hands of those people clapping on his shoulders.By the way, it seems that someone still stabbed him with needles, but... those needles, he endured them willingly.
Morifio didn't notice the momentary trance, but Eldy looked at him worriedly.Leon grinned at Eldy, and the three of them continued walking in.
There are not many "things" in this secret room, only three cells, but these three cells are special.A prison cell was directly suspended in the air. The six sides of the cell were covered with pure white metal railings, and the sun god amulet was depicted on the railings.Leon pulled Eldy up and flew up, and Morifio lifted himself up with vines.
Through the gap in the railing, they could see a black ball inside.Probably noticing the sight of outsiders, the black ball trembled and cried out, showing a girl about the same age as Leon and Eldy. The black ball stretched out while crying. It was really a pale little girl, but There is this layer of black mist around the body: "Help me, please, help me..."
"There really are ghouls. It seems that the things they made also borrowed from this ghoul."
"I heard that ghouls can only eat people, dead or alive?" Leon looked at Eldi and Morifeo.
"Yes." said Maurifio. "This ghoul can still use mental abilities. It seems that it has been raised very well."
The second cage is made of blue patterned pottery, which also has runes on it.Morifio said: "This is the sea god's waterproof charm, mostly used on ships." To see what's in it, they don't need them to fly up, there is a ladder beside it.Going up, the top of the cage is also made of pottery bars, and they can see what is inside.
They were "slimy" people, with no hands, no feet, no body, just a large mass of batter-like flesh-colored substance with four human heads in the middle.Two of the human heads have also begun to become blurred, and it seems that it will not be long before they will become part of the flesh-colored substance. Of the other two human heads, one is just giggling and has obviously lost its mind, and the last one saw them. Then he started roaring: "Kill me! Kill me! Kill me! Kill me—!"
Those flesh-colored substances are all melted people, whether it is only these four people who melted, that is an unknown.
The third cage was finally normal, but it was only the cage that was normal, not the things inside.That thing looked like a half-made monster. His left half muscle shrank and turned black, and black mist came out, and the right half looked like a person. He lay there, unable to move, and could only make people scream Horrible crying and wailing.
But the three of them still couldn't help standing in front of the third cage for a while, compared to the prisoners in the other two cages, he was still the prettier one.
"Anyone want to fight?" Leon asked Eldy.
"No, no!" Eldy shook his head immediately, these were beyond his ability to handle.
"Let's go then."
Morifio said: "Go away, I will stay here."
"Okay. I've already told the archbishop, and she should send someone over later."
After the two children had left, Morifio also hurried to the door. He held his chest and kept exhaling: "I thought this task of looking after the children was for me to rest, but now it's even worse than being on the front line." Stimulate."
When they came out, circular knights went in. They carried the boxes with the emblems of the gods and stuffed the things in each room inward.The two greeted the archbishop and found Marcos. It was already afternoon when they returned home.
After taking a shower and having a hot meal, Eldy lay on the bed and asked Leon, "You said, Miss Hilbert hired us with all her property, what exactly is she trying to do?"
"Maybe she really wants to see her parents? But her mind is not normal anymore, who knows?" Leon lay beside Eldi.
"This is the only possibility..."
Eldy didn't actually want to talk about this topic. He was obviously very sleepy now and wanted to sleep, but the darkness brought by his eyelids closed did not make him feel at ease at all, but only an unspeakable irritability.
Leon turned around and hugged Eldi—the two beautiful children hugging each other, this scene is still very beautiful: "The Archbishop of Herta will give us an answer."
"Hmm...probably." Eldy leaned his head towards him. Leon would not give him the gentleness like his mother, nor the firmness like his father, but there was a sense of steadfastness, right?Eldi also hugged him, using much more strength than Leon's, and his mood gradually calmed down, "I thought I was very pitiful. Even after seeing those muddy people in the slums, I thought I am the most pitiful, because they have been like that all their lives, just like flies that eat shit, they don’t feel miserable, because they have never tasted honey after all.”
"Your analogy is really not aristocratic."
"There are no nobles in the Muller Federation!"
"Okay, okay, no nobles."
"But I found... I'm really not the most pitiful... Mother would probably be very happy if she was still alive, because I learned to be merciful..." After saying the last word, Eldi fell asleep in a daze.
Eldi didn't sleep very well this time. He must have had a nightmare all night. When he woke up, he forgot the content of the dream again. He just felt a severe headache. It didn't seem like he was asleep, but rather I stayed up for two or three days without sleep.
"Eat!" Leon made deep-fried ice cream, and came to look for Eldy who was lying on the bed humming with a plate.
"I don't want to eat..." Eldy hummed again.
Leon grabbed a deep-fried ice cream, took a bite, moved to Eldy's nose and blew, and then continued to eat: "I can't eat it so fast by myself, it will melt in a while."
There was the cool sweetness of milk, and the hot smell of fried food. Eldy wanted to keep saying no, but his stomach said it wanted to eat, and the gurgle was so loud that the headache flew away.
Leon noticed that Eldi's expression changed, and he grabbed the clothes on his chest with one paw, and lifted him up: "I didn't brush my teeth or wash my face."
"It's okay, I went to cook for you without brushing my teeth or washing my face."
Well, so what's the point?eat it.
Although it's not very healthy to eat this kind of food as soon as you wake up, it doesn't matter to both of their bodies.
After eating the fried ice cream, which was crispy and hot on the outside, but cold and sweet on the inside, Eldy's mood immediately improved.He jumped up from the bed and jumped twice: "I'm going to find Morifio."
"He might not be at church today." They don't care about anything and wait to come back and hear the story...no, the truth.But Morifio has to follow the relevant personnel of the church from beginning to end, right?Fortunately, it was now Morifio. If it was the original Hogan, that silly and sweet little priest, his spirit would really be overwhelmed when encountering such a thing.
"Then I'll go to college."
"I'll go with you."
"No, I'll go by myself!"
"...Okay. Be careful on the road." It seems that he was still hit?
Marcos came back yesterday and was given a holiday by them. Although Marcos didn't know anything, he drove back and forth for two days and stayed in the wilderness for one night. He was still worried.Therefore, Eldy had to stop the carriage by himself.He left around eleven o'clock in the morning and came back at two o'clock in the afternoon. He seemed to be in a worse mood than when he left...
"I still want to eat the fried ice cream in the morning! I want something sweeter!" Eldy said as he sat on the chair after entering the door.
"Okay. I just made fried milk, eat this first." Leon brought the fried milk over, "It will be fried ice cream in a while."
Erdi gulped it down like venting his anger: "I was robbed."
"Yeah." Leon knew, Leon knew that Erdi knew that he knew, and now Erdi just needs to vent.
"Before I killed him, I broke one of his arms and asked him the reason for the first time. He said it was forced by life, that he had a seriously ill wife and children who couldn't eat enough. I asked him to take me to see His wife and children."
"Uh-huh."
"Then they took me to a place with a lot of people, all from their gang, assholes like him. I broke everyone's legs, and I still asked the guy why, and he said he didn't think I could let it go. I passed him, so it took me over there and asked me to give him another chance. I gave him another chance."
"Hmm."
"This time he took me to see his wife. His wife was dead. There was only a putrid corpse lying on the bed. I could see that the poor woman had broken ribs and wounded Internal organs. His child has disappeared. Some neighbors whispered that he had sold his daughter into a dirty place long ago, and his wife was injured by him just to prevent this. But this time I still keep killed him because he said he was trying to survive."
"okokokok."
"I spared him again, only to break his other leg. That's when he started growling and cursing me, the one who kept him alive, because he was going to die like this."
"Um……"
"Don't 'um'!"
"I want to give them mercy, but I found that there is no way to give them mercy..." Eldi sighed, and his whole body fell down.
"It's the first time I've seen you care so much about people other than me and yourself." Leon smiled, "I'm a little jealous. Why should you care about them? If you want kindness, be kind, if you don't want kindness Just kill it. It’s best for you to be happy.”
Eldy looked at Leon: "It's so nice to say, it seems that you don't care if I become a big devil. Obviously you are the one with a sense of justice."
Leon tilted his head and thought for a while: "...It seems to be? But... that's because we are more comfortable with righteous people. If our companions are all those crazy 'scientists', what do you think? Are you comfortable?"
"Unless we are the kind of lunatics, we won't be comfortable." Eldy said, he leaned over and hugged Leon, "You're right."
"Why don't you hug the fat bear?" Leon picked up the fat bear casually - Eldy hugged him, and he hugged the fat bear, which was quite harmonious.
"Plump Bear is also you, why don't you hold the real you? I..." Eldy's movements suddenly paused, he let go of Leon, stretched out his hand and pulled out the small bag hanging around his neck, Pour out the seeds inside.This seed germinated, and a small green bud grew.After the bud sprouted, it stretched forward for a while as if stretching, and then it grew longer and longer...
When Leon and Eldi hurriedly found the large flower pot with soil presented by Archbishop Herta and stuffed the seeds into it, it had already grown more than one meter long and was wrapped around Eldi's body .However, after being dragged down by the two men not so gently, and stuffed back into the flower pot, it calmed down.
Eldy: "Bring it into our room." The two looked at the vine, of course it couldn't just be this big.Although Daisy, Wendy, and Mrs. Coleman upstairs knew more or less what happened to them, but who knew what fruit this vine would bear in the end?
It's easy to get a flower pot, no matter how big it is, but looking at the flower pot in the two-person bedroom and thinking about the pile of equipment in the living room, Eldy put his hands on his hips: "So we still have to Moving, there is not enough space, and you still have two petunias that haven’t been planted yet.”
"Live in Diller School of Law?"
"The dean's attitude is too strange. If we live in, then everything will be under his watch."
"Buy a house?" Leon suddenly clenched his fist with his left hand and beat his right. "Miss Hilbert's five thousand gold reward hasn't been paid to us yet! I'm going to find Archbishop Herta...huh?"
Just when Leon wanted to find Archbishop Herta, he was still in the special underground cell. Archbishop Herta was sitting on top of the pottery cage, and he was also chanting Leon: "Leon? Ang, are you there? There are traces of your soul everywhere, so hurry up and answer!"
A crow appeared instantly and fell down...
A long strip of meat suddenly popped out of the meat paste under the cage, like the tongue of a frog after seeing a flying insect. This thing disturbed the crow's landing.But before touching the crow, this "tongue" broke into several pieces, and fell back into the cage powerlessly.
"Archbishop Huerta, Miss Hilbert promised to give me five thousand gold coins. I don't want five thousand gold coins. Please give me a house of equivalent value. It is fine in the southern district. It is best to have a big garden. Thank you." .”
Archbishop Herta covered her forehead gracefully. She had just cried, and her eye circles were still red: "Your Excellency Leon, thank you for discovering these people. Please help, kill them."
In the three cages, the little girl ghoul was moved away together with the cage, and the half-transformed person has been cut off, leaving only the muddy meat in this pottery cage—the brain that guards the door has also been removed. was crushed.Whatever happened to the little girl, it was a happy thing that the other two were dead.
"They're still alive."
