Angel on earth

Mikhail bent over stiffly, and heard Christine say angrily: "You don't understand anything, Victor."

"Okay, okay, I don't understand." Victor said with a smile, "In those two years, I will definitely save enough money to send you to night school. It is very expensive now, but the Viscountess said that Her Majesty is going to Pay your own money to subsidize the tuition fees for people like us."

"I don't want it! Why waste that money? I can go to the textile factory to help right now. You don't know anything, Victor!" Christine muttered, "What is the Viscountess, or..."

"Okay, Christine!" Victor sternly interrupted her slander of the Viscountess, then remembered Mikhail, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Misha, Christine always talks nonsense."

"Her name is Christine?" Mikhail's voice sounded dry and light, but he quickly returned to normal.Victor said, "Yeah. Sorry, what did you want from me? Also, Nancy she..."

"She's very healthy now." Mikhail didn't comment on what he said to himself before, smiled gently, took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to him, "I want to hire you to lead the way. Well, It would be great if I could rent a carriage, my master wants to go to the Emerald City."

Victor froze for a moment, then looked at him again.After a while, the young man stood on tiptoe, Mikhail knelt down knowingly so that he could bring him closer to his ear, and he said:

"I said, Misha, aren't you wizards? Cough cough, of course, I don't believe in religion, so I don't mean any harm to you, not to mention you cured Nancy. But..."

Mikhail didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he waved his hands and said, "My master is a decent doctor, he had studied in Lieyang City before, so he knows a little magic, but it's just to stimulate the effect of medicine and make people recover quickly."

Victor was skeptical, and apologized not very sincerely: "Oh, I'm so sorry... Well, thank you."

"what?"

"Thank you for giving me this job opportunity, and thank you Mithra, the sun god, for letting me meet you yesterday."

Mikhail laughed: "Okay, Victor. You can bring Miss Christine, and I can pay double."

The guy is as ill-dressed as he was yesterday, and yesterday he couldn't afford the Gospels.If you forgot to bring it, then you should not accept the charity from Mrs. Wood!Thinking of this, Victor frowned vigilantly: "No need."

Mikhail knew that he had misunderstood, and waved his hands again and again: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that... To be honest, my master came to Wakefield this time to recuperate. By the way, let's pay tribute to that famous family. The climate in Yangcheng is a bit too cold for him. ——I mean, he used to have a younger sister, also named Christine, but she passed away unexpectedly. He has a bad temper now, I think, if Christine Maybe he would be happier if the lady would like to have a few words with him outside the carriage."

The more Victor listened, the more weird he became: "I will not sell my sister to you, even if it is a nobleman!"

Christine said, "Would you pay? I think you're a nice guy."

"Christine!" Victor said anxiously.Christine shook his hands in front of Mikhail, and said impatiently: "Anyway, he can't see, can't he? Take me away if you are in danger, don't you always say that you are familiar with every aspect of Wakefield?" Alley, 'Victor the errand'? Well, almost a pound for twice as much, try harder and you'll be an apprentice!"

"You, how do you know—" Victor stammered and blushed, but Mikhail interrupted embarrassingly:

"Ah, this, this is a deposit. Is that what you said? I remember Ya... Iris's side usually pays 20.00% in advance. So the total is five pounds. Well, I'm new here, I don't know much about the salary level here, Seems a little high? But please don't feel guilty about it. I was just here yesterday, and I was lucky to have such a reliable guide as you, and Nancy was rescued. Therefore, I We should also share our luck with you. Besides, the Emerald City is a very important place to my lord, if we weren’t waiting to use the money, we wouldn’t just give the two of you five pounds.”

Victor took a step back, and Mikhail was a little anxious. He rarely felt that this young man was a nice guy. If he was to be deceived halfway, it might affect Aaron if he went to find someone else to lead the way.

In fact, he got too close and talked too much, scaring Victor.The latter held his sister's little hand, stuttering and unable to speak.Christine, on the other hand, chewed the candy that Mikhail had just handed her, and said, "Is your name Misha? Victor is shy. We'll go with you. But, are you really Will it give that much?"

"Not a penny less," replied Mikhail.

Victor took a deep breath of the light morning mist, and didn't care whether the source of this guy's money was legal, it was five pounds: "We can go to the 'Snow White' flour store to rent a carriage. The Emerald City ruins are in the suburbs, It's near the forest, and it's haunted, and you can't get guests on the return trip, so you'll have to pay double the fare."

"If it's not too expensive, I'd like to rent a better carriage." Mikhail followed him to the flour shop, "My lord likes a clean and comfortable place, but, as you can see, because I'm an Abaddon Because of people, it is difficult for us to find a hotel. Therefore, you have to worry about renting a carriage."

"Leave it to me!" Hearing this, Victor couldn't help saying enviously, "I'll just ask...do doctors really make that much money?"

"It should be, right? Sorry, I'm not a doctor myself."

Mikhail really didn't know, because most of his and Aaron's income was obtained through illegal activities, such as the sudden extra money on hand.

Mikhail smiled innocently on his face, and he also had no guilt about it in his heart.This money was taken from the donation box of the Moses Sect and the Absolute Beginning Sect after leaving Emerald Park last night.Well, this should be called "confiscation". Anyway, he found out that the person in charge took the money to spend a lot of time drinking, so he might as well donate it to his master to build a clinic that can really save lives.

But I'm not lying!Mikhail thought seriously again, Noren might even have an owner for the wild fruits in the woods, and a homeless man sitting and sleeping in the park is no more respectable than a slave, and it stands to reason that Wakefield belongs to the Edwards family, according to As far as he could remember, Noren had never deprived Edwards of the title of Marquess.And those two sects belong to heresy, so Aaron has the right to confiscate the assets of the illegal forces in the territory, yes, that's it.

Mikhail felt a little guilty and started making excuses for himself.

Victor's heart pounded.Of course, this is a legitimate and legitimate fantasy any poor boy has when he meets a generous and nice person.Even Christine fantasizes: they get the money, except for Victor's need to find a relationship as an apprentice, and she also has a tuition fee of one shilling a week. to hire her sister, and then...

The horses and chariots have arrived.

Victor often helps people run errands. In recent years, the border defense and mining in the Amethyst Forest have attracted many foreign investors, and he has also dealt with car and horse dealers before.This time, although Mikhail's size and clothes were suspicious, after spending most of the day, Victor rented a two-horse four-wheel box carriage at a normal price.

Mikhail asked them to wait at the end of Rib Street, and went back to the hotel to take Aaron away; he didn't think so much when he came to stay, and now he had to hide the hotel owner and find a place to dispose of the coffin.

He carried the "Prayer of Chastity" wrapped in a white cloth, carried the box in one hand, and put his arm around Aaron's shoulders. It was almost noon before he walked slowly to Rib Street.Aaron was wary of everything, and the white cloak trailed and tripped him sometimes.Mikhail had to be careful not to hurt passers-by.

The Victor brothers and sisters and the driver have been waiting at the appointed place.The coachman sat in front of the cart smoking, and the two horses snorted leisurely.Mikhail helped Aaron into the carriage, closed the curtains, and asked Victor to buy some bread, candy and tea.Although he was curious about what kind of guy the new "Dr. Edwards" was, Victor took the money honestly and took his sister's hand to buy food.

At this time, the coachman found that his pipe could not be ignited. While wondering, he reluctantly gave up smoking.Mikhail took off his hood for Aaron, smoothed the folds of his clothes, and whispered something to him.When the driver heard the doctor's short and hoarse laughter, he thought it was his own illusion.

The weather is fine today, the sun is shining brightly, and the reflections from the old car shafts and doors and windows on the street make people slightly dizzy.

Victor soon came back with two bags of food.Mikhail took one sack and asked the brother and sister to share the rest with the coachman, but did not invite them to ride.It was rare for Victor to feel that he had made a normal decision, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and took his sister and the coachman to the front.While the latter chewed the dry food they brought, they flicked their whips and drove the horses out of the city. The white bread and candies in the paper bag were divided into two, and they were told to put them in their arms, waiting for the day's work to end. Take it home and share it with your family.

It was already autumn now, and Wakefield was originally located in the northwest. Even if it was sunny at noon, it would not be too hot, but the master and servant in the carriage closed all the blinds on the front, back, left, and right sides.Victor's work would not start until the foot of Bell Mountain, so out of curiosity and boredom, he couldn't help but secretly turned his head back and took a peek inside.He knew that there was a hole in the little window in the front of the carriage, and those shutters had been there for decades, and when they were closed, light shone in through the gap, like a prison grate, and a small hole wouldn't attract attention.

But when he looked at "Doctor Edwards", Victor was taken aback. He didn't turn back until Christine held his hand, looking at the slowly approaching country road in front of him in shock.

The man had a handsome face of about 24, covered in a thick cloak from the neck down, and a pair of jewel-green eyes stared hostilely at Victor behind the lens, like a salivating animal ready to pounce. hungry wolf.

But at the same time, the young man turned his neck slightly, gently and docilely rubbing against the palm of the white-haired boy.It was only then that Victor realized that "Misha" hadn't wrapped his eyes with bandages today, but he hadn't opened them either.

Mikhail couldn't see Aaron's face, touched his head encouragingly, and said: "Very well, very well, you are very kind, Aaron. I am with you, we are almost there.—You Must you know? That young man is Victor, and he took us to the Emerald City today. That’s his sister Christine, and it’s too dangerous to leave her alone in the city.”

"Aaron, look." Mikhail kissed the top of his head, "Kristen is well protected by her brother."
