Gold is Justice

In the past, when encountering such weird things, Ariel's first reaction was often to look towards the cat nest next to her.

Isn't that cat the vice president of this guild?Then it should take on the job of explaining.Otherwise, wouldn't it be too wasteful to give it so much delicious and delicious food on weekdays?

But this time, Ariel's eyes stopped the moment she was about to turn to the kitten.

To be honest, she is not very sure now whether what Napa said is true or not.

How many things does it hide from itself?Will he still lie to himself?Which of the things it says are true, and which of them are sheer nonsense?

I have to admit, Ariel felt that the cat seemed to have grown up.

It has changed from the kind of ignorance of the so-called conspiracies and tricks when we first met, to a very cunning monster that is already somewhat familiar with human mentality.

Although Ariel is not quite sure how far it can understand the human heart, Ariel is still a little uncomfortable seeing it apply the experience it has learned from itself to itself.

So now, she flipped through the "Magic Swordsman Training Manual" in her hand again, and then handed the book to several magicians in the guild, asking them to read it one by one.

"Margaux, Coco, and jelly, can you understand what's inside? And Buffy, you are also a natural creature, take a look, is there anything strange in here?"

Margo took the book and leaned over to Coco, and the two began to read it together.Buffy didn't show any signs of coming over to browse, but put her hands on her chest and said, "I think, this thing is actually quite simple. It's the so-called process of purifying the body of this magic swordsman, which is essentially Will it also wash away people's feelings?"

Ariel was taken aback, and asked, "Is there really such a possibility?"

Buffy spread out her hands, put on a very proud expression, and said, "Of course! Don't forget, I picked most of the herbs that humans use for bathing~~~! Here, Wangyou Plants such as grass, unfeeling flower, and no tear fruit are not used less. At that time, I thought it was strange, using so many plants that are highly toxic to you humans, is it really possible for this person to be alive? Now It seems that I can live alive, but it will become like this."

Ariel didn't interfere too much or ask too much about Suta's process of purifying Bath with the magic swordsman's method.But now when she heard that Buffy started picking herbs, she suddenly felt uneasy.After all, it might be safer to find one of the flower fairies to pick herbs casually than this little flower fairy... Jelly frowned, and after reading a book behind Coco and Margaux, she was embarrassed. He said calmly: "Sister Buffy, um... do you... have some problems... in the collection of medicines?"

Buffy snorted, and said with certainty: "Are you kidding me? You don't believe me, do you?! Don't be complacent! Tell you, every time I pick the medicine, I will show it to my sisters first! They Every time you tell me that it is a very effective and powerful herb! You don’t believe me? Then can you not believe my sisters?!”

This flower fairy is very self-aware, knowing that she has to discuss with other flower fairies every time.

But in this way, everyone was puzzled again.

But for Ariel, this is a little reminder.

After she narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, she said, "Everyone, do you still remember Mars Capone and Tiramisu, the magic sword master and apprentice?"

The Demon Swordsman incident happened relatively early back then, so most of the members of the Mermaid Song Guild were not familiar with it.

However, it didn't matter, because Ariel then briefly told everyone about the pair of master and apprentice.Then went on to say——

"This magic swordsman training manual was passed on to Tiramisu by Mars Capone in order for him to learn it for himself. It's just that he died in battle and couldn't use it smoothly."

"However, now thinking about the emotions of the master and apprentice... Mars Capone gives me the feeling that although he always has a smile on his face, that smile is like a decoration. You can’t see any of his inner emotions from outside.”

"Similarly, the child named Tiramisu is also emotionally indifferent. Perhaps, the profession of magic swordsman itself will be deprived of part of his emotions?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Brad, Buffy, Cream, Coco, and Margot who had experienced the Demon Swordsman incident back then all nodded involuntarily.However, Suta, who had experienced the same experience, is now gradually pale, and his lips have no blood.

"But..." Ke Ke frowned and continued, "When we were rescuing the emperor, we also encountered some troubled magic swordsmen on the snow mountain. The emotions of those magic swordsmen seemed quite agitated. And they're still scared and run away. They don't look like they've lost their feelings, do they?"

Cheese crossed his hands on his chest and said, "Every kind of magic swordsman has a different training method. At least in our opinion, this guy's training method is the kind of one that loses emotion, but is strong enough to fly Look. Hey! Duck! Stop shrinking in there, come and sit down! Do you want the president to invite you in person?"

Dak over there was yelled at by Cheese, and finally stood up with shame on his face, lowered his head, and slowly came to the table.At this moment, Jelly hastily pulled out a chair for him to sit down.

"I'm sorry, everyone... I will try my best to control my power in the future..."

"Let's not talk about whether you can control it. Let's talk about that guy now. That guy was able to fight a few rounds with you who was completely crazy. This magic swordsman wasn't that strong before, right?"

Cheese turned his head and looked at the crowd. After all, when Song of the Mermaid kidnapped the paladin, he looked too weak, and he didn't feel as oppressive as he did today.

Everyone nodded slightly, and turned their heads to look at Buzz Macaroni who was trapped on the sofa.And now, the magic swordsman is also looking at this side, and there is no emotion in those eyes, making it impossible to guess what he wants to do.

"I don't think the magic swordsman is emotionless."

At this moment, after reading the "Swordsman Training Manual", Margot suddenly said such a sentence.

When everyone's eyes turned to her, she silently turned a page and said slowly: "Indeed, using these strange medicinal herbs to infuse the body may indeed make people into such an emotionless appearance. But now think back to the master and apprentice of the magic swordsman, do they really have no feelings, or do they have very weak feelings? President, think about their appearance before they died. Even if they died, they would not use tiramisu His master's life was used to prolong his own life. And Mars Capone wanted to save his apprentice even if he didn't want his own life. The relationship between these two people has surpassed the general sense of master and apprentice, right? Can it be called washing away the feelings?"

Margot's words awakened Ariel instantly!

She once again thought carefully about why the master and apprentice died and what they looked like before they died, and immediately nodded, agreeing very much.At that moment, she turned to Bass over there, walked over, and stood in front of him.

Buzz was trapped in the cage, and he didn't have much emotional change when Ariel walked over. He just raised his head and didn't even say a word.

At the moment, Ariel said: "Mr. Bath Macaroons, I will untie the shackles on you now, to show that there is no hostility between us. For this reason, can you not attack us, and don't think about running away immediately Woolen cloth?"

Hearing Ariel's words, everyone seemed a little panicked.

But after the panic, everyone immediately understood that their president must have come up with some weird ideas, and then they all prepared, left the table, and stood around Bass, ready to guard against his sudden attack.

Bass gaze circled everyone around, and stayed for a little longer when his gaze passed Suta's face, but finally returned to Ariel's face, and nodded slightly: " I promise you. I won't run away, I won't attack you."

Ariel smiled, waved her hand, and asked the members to remove the shackles on him.After the magic swordsman could rub his wrists, Ariel said sincerely, "How do you feel now?"

"Feeling?... Feeling a little relaxed."

Bass rubbed his thin body, touched his skeleton-like face, and continued—

"I'm thinking, I've been in a coma for more than three years. During these three years, I lost a lot of things. All my power of holy light is gone now, even the tower shield, I feel that the tower shield is holding It’s more pleasing to the eye than what I want to come.”

"Honey……"

"However, my love for my wife seems to have disappeared. Looking at her now, I look at a stranger. She took away my faith in the Paladin and shattered my faith in her. all the love."

A normal person...a normal man, no matter how heartless and righteous he is, he probably wouldn't say such cold words when breaking up.

When Bass said these words, his tone was so relaxed and indifferent.As if it wasn't his own business, but that of someone completely unrelated.

After hearing these words, Suta, whose heart was already a little broken, became even more unsteady on his feet, and even his legs softened and he fell down.If it wasn't for Mochi next to her stretching out her hands to support her back, she might have fallen straight down.

But seeing his wife fall to the ground like this, Bass didn't even have the slightest emotional ups and downs.His eyes really seemed to be looking at a stranger without any sense of familiarity.

"You... how can you talk like that?! Sister Suta has taken care of you for three years! During these three years, she wiped your body, turned over, and fed you every day! Even when we went out to perform missions, we thought You must entrust us to take care of you! But you... but you!"

Ke Ke stretched out her hand and pointed directly at the magic swordsman in front of her, the anger on her face soared to the sky——

"You actually said such a thing? Are you still a person?!"

Although Ariel was a little surprised by the words of the magic swordsman, she still suppressed her emotions well, stretched out her finger and nodded her head, and said——

"Since... your feelings for Suta have faded. Then I want to know, what are you more interested in now? You caught me as soon as you woke up, so you hate me the most ?”

Bass looked at Ariel, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head and said, "No, it's because you look the weakest and the easiest to grab. Besides, I don't know you at all. Who are you?"

To be honest, these words really sound a little sad... But on the other hand, Ariel was also a little relieved.After all, at that time I was still appearing as Eero Garcia. If this man recognized him at a glance, would he kill him the moment he grabbed his neck?

Ariel coughed a little, and then said: "Well, since you just took me as a hostage, why did you go directly to the hidden lake? Do you have feelings for that lake?"

This time, the corners of Buzz's eyebrows finally twitched slightly.But this kind of emotional ups and downs is still not very big, it really seems that there is no emotion.

After a pause of about five or six seconds, Bass said slowly——

"In my sleep, I saw something."

Ariel: "A thing? What thing?"

Bass: "A thing that I can't describe, a thing that seems to have countless eyes, but it seems to be blind. That thing looks big, but it feels very weak. That thing is hidden in that lake , before I fell into a three-year sleep, the only thing I could feel was that thing gave me a trembling feeling that the hairs on my whole body would stand on end."

"I don't know if that thing wants to kill me. Maybe for me, killing me is enough to free me. But the punishment that that thing wants to bring to me is far from depriving me of My life is so simple. What it wants to torture is my soul and my will. At that time, I only felt that it was watching me, staring at me tightly in the deepest part of the lake."

"It was calling my name, telling me to go to its place, to go to its territory. After that, I lost consciousness."

"And when I woke up again, the voice had disappeared. But it should still be there, the thing that made me feel fear from the soul. I want to get rid of it, but I know, just If I run away, I may never be able to get rid of it."

Ariel nodded lightly: "In other words, do you only want to go back to that place because of the terrible feeling before coma?"

After a moment of silence, Bass nodded again.

So far, once again excluding this magic swordsman has a strong feeling about the hidden lake.But if this is the case, if he doesn't have feelings for his wife, doesn't have hatred for himself, and doesn't have any strong demand for lake water, then what else does this man have feelings for now?

Ariel doesn't know.It was in this unclear situation that the man finally stood up from his seat, moved his hands that could almost touch his knees a little, and said——

"So now, can I leave?"

After thinking about it, Ariel said, "Where do you want to go?"

Bass: "This has nothing to do with you."

Logically speaking, the reason why Ariel kidnapped Bath Macaroon before was entirely because she intercepted Du Lengjia's supply channel at that time.He didn't let the couple go, because once these things he did were exposed, it was very likely that he would be killed.

But now, not to mention those people from the Royal Pharmacists' Association, the entire empire is almost overwhelmed.Now let this magic swordsman say that he intercepted a batch of his goods three years ago, that is already irrelevant.

So, no matter from the point of view or reasoning, Ariel seems to have no reason to keep this man.

But, if you let him go...

"My dear...you...you don't want me...? Are you going...abandon me?"

Suta's voice was trembling, and his whole body was shaking violently.

Bass glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "If you want to follow, that's up to you. Miss, please let me out of here."

If Bass is going, Suta must be going too.

It doesn't matter if the magic swordsman is gone, but this paladin was cultivated by his own guild!You can't just let it go!

But now, it is obviously impossible to force this man to stay here.Even if it is strong, Suta cannot accept it.

If this is the case, what method should be used to keep him?

At this moment, Ariel suddenly thought of the magic sword Silence placed on the table over there.

At present, it seems that only this magic swordsman can use this sword.Although I don't know why he was able to drive this magic sword, maybe this method can really make him stay...

It's just... just ah!

Let Ariel send out a magic sword for no reason, which still makes her feel a little heartbroken!

"I remember...the reason why you helped to transport Du Lengjia is to raise funds to find your child—Cream Macaroon, right?"

Just when Ariel and other guild members were deadlocked here, Yi Ge suddenly plucked the strings and said this sentence in a flat tone.

After hearing this sentence, Suta was shocked and turned his head to look at him suddenly.But Buzz's eyes still looked so indifferent, just like everyone else, looking at Egg indifferently.

Yi Ge played the lute again, and said with a smile: "I learned something about you when I was chatting with Miss Suta. If I remember correctly... If the cream kid is still alive this year, then you should Are you seven years old? Well, you are already a small adult."

The bard's eyes narrowed, and with that unpredictable smile, he nodded at Buzz over there, and continued to say——

"I am fortunate to know such a sad thing from your wife. Now, even if you find your child, you should not recognize it? After all, that child unfortunately left you When I was born, I was still a little baby less than one year old."
