Atypical S

Pearl and the priest stayed in the cave until the mudslide passed.It was evening when the rain stopped.

The two walked out of the cave and looked at the distance. It was really not that difficult to climb up again.And, Pearl reasoned, Dionysus was probably long gone.

The mountain road above is different from the mountain stream. The mud and rocks roll down. If you don’t move forward, you will only be blocked by the falling rocks.At that time, there was no place to hide on the mountain road. It was more cost-effective to retreat or advance.

Pearl thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go directly to the city they agreed upon—Kasai.

Maybe there, Dionysus and the others are waiting.

Before setting off, Pearl found a suckling opossum in the nearby thin vegetation, and left one cub to let the mother rat kill it, and killed the rest.That female possum was very fierce.Pearl had to pull out all its teeth and claws, and stuff the mother mouse's teats into Ossinash's mouth.

The female opossum squeaked in pain as Pearl held her down.To Pearl's relief, Ossinash did not refuse to eat it because it tasted bad.

But this also made Pearl more certain that the consciousness of the other party was still at his original age.Sighed and said nothing.When Ossinash was full, Pearl wrapped the limbs of the opossum in cloth strips, found a weak stick and tied them to his shoulders.In view of the bloody preparations before the feeding, the priest turned his back a long time ago.He didn't approach uncomfortably until Pearl finished and called him.

"I... just haven't gotten used to it yet." The priest lowered his head, and couldn't tell what he was guilty of.He already knew that blindly kindness cannot survive in this harsh environment, but how can people change overnight.

Pearl glanced at him, "If you're not used to it, you won't get used to it, not everything needs to be used to it."

"I thought you would definitely look down on me again." The priest's face was a little pale under the moonlight, and he smiled, "I thought you would let me learn to get used to it."

"Not everything in this world needs to be compromised. Change what you can, and then compromise on the rest." Pearl squatted on the ground and covered Ossinash's quilt, held the basket in his hand, and proudly raised his hand. At the corner of his mouth, "And how could I make you get used to it? You know, Obelike is one of the people who dislikes habits and likes change the most."

The priest looked at Pearl.The young man had already torn off the extra bandages, his eyes were dazzlingly red under the moonlight, and they were plated with moonlight like transparent gems.

"You will be a good monarch." The priest bowed his head and said softly.

Pearl smiled and didn't take it seriously. "I'm the one who was kicked out of the throne."

The priest looked at Pearl and said with certainty, "That's because they don't know what kind of person you really are."

"...Then how can you be sure that what you understand is the real me?"

The priest wants to answer.Pearl got up and said, "Go."

The priest actually wanted to say that he was willing to say so many words to him to guide his direction.It proved that Pearl was not such a tyrannical person as rumored.But he knew the man didn't like to hear it.Only when you define yourself as evil can you accept what you do more easily, so some people are willing to declare themselves evil.

People have to give themselves a reason to be cruel.

When the two were about to run out of food the next day, they slaughtered the possum. Before slaughtering, Pearl squeezed the possum's daughter into the bottle with the bottle he carried.On the third day, when they were about to run out of food, they encountered a caravan that wanted to rob them.As a result, those who robbed were unfortunately robbed.

The leader of the caravan spat on the ground cursingly, saying that he had just been robbed by a master of Aeolus, but turned around and was hijacked by the robbers of his own country.

Pearl glanced at the priest with no expression on his face. When packing up his belongings, he pretended to ask the Aeolian in the direction he was walking.When they heard that the direction was Kasai, both of them involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

It does appear to be Dionysus.

It's a pity that Dionysus was ruthless when he robbed. Basically, a lot of food and water were searched, but nothing was left for them.The leader of the caravan saw Pearl taking away one of their best remaining carriages, a big man was crying and howling, when he saw Pearl taking away his little food , He already has a desperate heart.

Pearl weighed the blunt knife in his hand, and slit the throat of a person who was trying to approach with a speed that the group of people could hardly see.

"This is the last warning. Stay obediently. Maybe you still have a chance to live. Or, do you want to die now?"

Those in the caravan who wanted to stand up retreated.

There was a suckling ewe in the caravan, and Pearl took it.

The reason why this sheep can be left is probably because Dionysus thought it was troublesome to live animals, so he basically didn't move the little sheep driven by the caravan.Pearl, too, took only the ewe, leaving the rest to the hapless caravan.

When they arrived in Kasai, they were catching up with Kasai's mountain opening activities.The so-called kaishan is to worship the double-faced god before the mining site is selected.

Pearl was still thinking about how to meet Dionysus, so he saw Dionysus riding on the lake of strange beasts in the sacrificial procession.Only after asking about the onlookers did they know that this person opened a large mine for the famous owner of the place the day before yesterday. The owner thought that this person was a capable person and a messenger of God's favor, so he got it in the celebration of the festival.

Pearl gritted his teeth. This was simply cheating. With the abilities of the two of them, they could resonate in the ore by releasing their own energy. Not to mention one mine, even ten mines would be fine.Pearl deeply felt that the worries along the way were in vain. Dionysus was born to be a gangster, because that guy has a black stomach!

It was not difficult to meet Dionysus, as there were no experts in this small mining town, so Pearl kicked the door directly to find Dionysus.When Dionysus saw Pearl for the first time, his eyes lit up with joy. He was sitting on the ground, but now he immediately got up and stepped forward, reaching out to hug Pearl's shoulder.Unexpectedly, Pearl opened it impatiently with a slap in the face.

Pearl said,

"Where's Haorilas? What about... me?"

Dionysus' face darkened, and then his thoughts changed, and the bad taste came up again.

He deliberately said, "That little pet of yours didn't play with it halfway and died. As for the shrunken you, you don't know where you went when you parted ways on the road."

After Dionysus finished speaking, he stared carefully at Pearl's face, trying to see if the other party would explode.

In fact, Dionysus was just a little bit unhappy, and it was purely the "Haurelas" that Pearl said that made him feel a little bit off.

He said this on purpose, more because he wanted to give it a try, like a gamble, and he wanted to know Pearl's attitude towards these people.

The one in the basket is as good as dead, and the rest are the unsightly priest and the useless little pet.

Calculating light flashed across Dionysus' eyes, and then he lowered his head.

When Pearl heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he didn't believe it.No matter who is dead, he is considered a game over, and now that he is still alive, it proves that these people are all right.Looking at Dionysus suspiciously, seeing him lower his head, Pearl was even more sure that this guy was talking nonsense, and everyone was speechless immediately, and he was talking about people like Dionysus who were full.

"Oh, really?" Pearl twitched the corners of her mouth and said calmly, "It turns out that you were so useless at times, and I thought highly of you."

"You...are angry." Dionysus was not sure, looking at Pearl cautiously.

Pearl didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said no, and asked others to prepare the room.Those who had been ordered to look after Dionysus took one look at the new master and dared not move.

Dionysus felt uncomfortable, did he care or didn't care with such an attitude?He still couldn't see clearly.He waved his hands and told those people to do the same, and then said to Pearl in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, the two are still alive."

"...I know." Pearl sat on the chair and drank water without any worries.

"You know?" Dionysus wondered.

Pearl choked for a moment. I can't say that Lao Tzu's life is with you.So, after moistening his throat with water, he cleared his throat and said, "I can trust you. You have to trust me too."

Such a perfunctory sentence made Dionysus very happy.He was happy when he was happy, "I'll take you to meet them."

The priest looked at the two of them from the side, and always felt that Dionysus was eaten to death by Pearl, and he looked silly and happy.

In this world, it is always clear to the bystanders.
