Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Shana froze for a moment and said, "Three..."

"What did you say?" the man growled loudly.Shana was taken aback by him, faltering and unable to speak.At this moment, Dreyer suddenly took out a small knife from his pocket, grabbed Shana, put the knife on her neck, and shouted: "How much is it?"

The woman screamed in fright: "Three, just three!"

"Gold or silver?"

"Silver, silver!" she cried.

Get Rich Dreyer, III

Get Rich Dreyer, III

"Okay, three silver coins!" Dreyer took out money from his pocket and sprinkled it on the ground, the coins jingled, "I'll give you four, and the extra is regarded as interest, and now I'm going to buy it away."

"How dare you! If you don't pay thirty gold coins, don't even think about leaving!"

"Idiot." Dreyer sighed and stabbed him in the throat with a knife.The man's eyes widened, and he grabbed Dreyer's hand, as if he didn't believe that the other party dared to kill.Dreyer picked up the coins in front of him and said, "That's good, four silver coins are free." After he said this, the man struggled and fell into a pool of blood.

The woman screamed in terror, but Dreyer gave her a look, and she immediately fell silent.

"Where is your son?"

"What do you want?" the woman yelled.

"I won't hurt him, you tell me."

"No! I will never..."

Dreyer put the bloody dagger to her throat and said, "Don't let me waste time, if I can find you, I can find him—now, tell me where he is!"

"He...he's at the pier casino in Rotten Flesh."

"What's his name and what does he look like?"

"My name is Silva. She has a sailor's dreadlocks on her head and a scar on her forehead. She is about this tall." She gestured.

Dreyer waved and said, "Okay, brothers, let's go."

"Yes!"

Before leaving, he said to the woman: "Tomorrow afternoon, go to the second floor of the tavern opposite the Yashen Casino. As long as you listen to me, I can arrange the rest of your life so that your family is happy and you have no worries about food and clothing; if you don't Be obedient—" Dreyer thrust a knife into the table in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "The Necromancer Association is short of female corpses, you can figure it out!"

The woman nodded quickly, Dreyer asked someone to remove the body, and then left.

Dreyer returned to Rotten Flesh, and immediately went to the casino that the woman mentioned.After he went in and inquired for a while, he found the person he was looking for—the son of Sariwa, who was considered to have inherited his father's business, was standing at the gaming table playing dice.This guy is only in his teens, he is still a child, but when he gambles, he looks as excited as an old gambler.

Dreyer waved his hand and said, "Catch him." The two attendants went up and held him down. The child screamed in fright, and Dreyer slapped his face when he went up, cursing: "Who the hell taught you? Are you playing this? Is your father?" The child wanted to talk back, but he slapped again, saying: "How dare you talk back?" The two big ear slaps were slapped down, and the child was so scared that he was sobbing.Dreyer slapped again: "Don't cry! Listen to me!"

The child nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Whatever you say is what you say!"

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, come to the tavern opposite the Ye Shen Blessing Casino, remember?"

"Remember, remember!"

"Also, let me see you gambling in the future, I will break your dog legs! Remember?"

The child nodded like a pounding garlic: "Remember, remember, remember!"

In this way, Dreyer arranged both things.The next afternoon he received the mother and child, placed them behind a screen on the second floor, and told them to wait here and keep quiet.The mother and son nodded again and again—both of them had seen how powerful Dreyer was, and they dared not listen to what he said.

Afterwards, Delaire returned to the casino and called Sariva. He and Sariwa said: "You will follow me to do something later. I want to ask you a few questions. You can answer them after you think about it."

Dreyer's serious attitude frightened Sariva, and he asked cautiously: "Brother, what happened?"

"Don't be afraid, it's a good thing, you just come with me." As he spoke, he took Sariva to the second floor of the tavern, and the two of them were separated from the mother and child by a screen.Delaire cleared his throat and said, "Brother Sariwa, I want to ask you something!"

Sariwa was startled, and looked around, "What's wrong, brother?"

Dreyer said, "I ask you, is gambling fun?"

He thought for a while and said, "No...it's not fun."

Dreyer nodded, and indicated with his eyes that he answered correctly: "Okay, Sariva, will you still gamble in the future?"

Sariwa said quickly: "Gambling has made me like this, how can I still gamble?"

"Okay, it's fine if you can quit gambling, Sariva, remember, people without self-control can't accomplish great things." Dreyer nodded again, "Then let me ask you again, do you miss your wife and children? ?”

"Why don't you want to? I think about it every day!"

"Suppose your wife and children want to reorganize the family with you, will you agree?"

"Of course I agree! But..."

As soon as Dreyer raised his hand, he told him not to ask more questions, and then continued: "Will you beat and scold her in the future?"

"I've never hit her before!"

"The last thing is the most important thing. Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"What?"

"Yes, what are your ambitions?"

Sariwa froze for a moment, his expression lost in thought.Dreyer looked at him and thought: A man without big ambitions can't do anything, I hope he can pick up his former pride.

Sariwa didn't reply for a long time, his face was tangled together, obviously he had an answer in his heart, but he didn't want to say it.Dreyer said to him: "Just say what you want to do! I will help you!"

His encouragement gave Sariva determination, the man gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "I still want to open a wine shop! I want to sell the best wine, sell it to the temple in the wine city, and sell it to the north. Go to the Winter Palace, let the nobles drink my wine!"

"Okay." Dreyer nodded heavily, and immediately said: "You two come out!"

The mother and son came out from behind the screen. Sariwa looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's going on?" His wife threw herself into his arms without saying anything, crying. Hugged and wept immediately.The child stood aside with tears in his eyes.Delaire watched from the sidelines, and after a while to see that they calmed down, Delaire said: "In the future, I will rent a house for you, and I will work in my casino first, and I will pay you every month." , to make a living."

Sariva wiped away his tears and said excitedly: "I...I don't know how to repay you, Master Delaire! I...I will work hard for you, and you will be whatever you say in the future!"

Dreyer smiled and said, "It's easy to repay me, brother, don't you run a wine shop? I want you to go back to your old business and sell me wine!"

Sariwa asked with a puzzled look: "Sell wine? What kind of wine?"

"Sell spirits!" Delaire laughed, "I want to sell a unique and strongest spirit in this world!"

Chapter 33: Fassnut, Unforgiven, A

Chapter 33: Fassnut, Unforgiven, A

There is a very charming smell of incense in Kalimos' office.

The priest's office didn't look like a religious place, but rather like a noble's reception room.There are tapestry screens, hazy incense, and precious paintings in gold frames.There are precious wines and a few simple books on the smooth waxed wooden shelves, and the shelves are spotless.

As the leader of the temple, Priest Kalymus was obviously rich.

He stands by the window.This window is the eyes of the Spider Goddess. Looking down from the window, one can see the crystal spider web and the pitch-black abyss.Outside the window came the sound of bone farmers working. The sound continued day and night, as if it had become a natural sound like the sound of wind and water.

"Fasnat, I said you have graduated, don't you understand?" the priest said with his back to him.

"I understand, Lord Sacrifice, but I can't leave now."

"After graduation, you have to leave immediately, and then go to the corresponding place to work for three years. After three years, you can be free-this is what was agreed at the beginning, and it is written in the contract."

"I know, but..."

"No but, Fasnat." The priest still turned his back to him, "You should go to the altar to be baptized immediately and absorb the vicious soul in your body. In this way, you can become complete and grow arms .If you continue to procrastinate, the monster will devour your soul——Fasnat, you already feel that something is wrong with you? Do you think you in the arena are the real you? Red eyes, killing, madness... …Your soul is about to be devoured by a ferocious demon, and you are running out of time."

Fassnut pondered for a moment and said, "But I must earn enough 1 bone coins before I can leave."

The priest turned around this time, he looked at Fasnat in surprise, and said, "Bone coin? You don't need that kind of thing. The bone coin is for candidates, and at most it can help you strengthen the fusion of your soul a little bit." , but you, you don't need it."

I can't use it, but the stupid slave does.Fassnut is not good at asking people to do things, but this time he can only bite the bullet and say: "But I... I have something I want to buy, so I want to wait before leaving."

Karimos touched his chin, frowned and said, "Well... well, well, you are an excellent student, so I will make a special case for you. How many bone coins are you short now, go to the warehouse to get it , I will graduate immediately after finishing my work.”

"No, I can earn it myself, I just need a little time, not to mention I can't repay you."

"Don't refuse, you can repay me by graduating quickly!" Karimos' tone was a little impatient.

Now that the words are over, Fasnat will not say more, "Thank you, sir." He saluted and turned to leave.

So he went to the warehouse to get the money. The [-] bone coins were made of paper. They were ten banknotes with "[-]" written on them. The warehouseman said that it was the same as the bone coins and could buy anything.Fassnut asked for five, and counting his deposit, he already has [-].

Little Violet is in class, and he has to wait for her to finish.

He came to the lecture hall of the temple again, where a crooked old man was brainwashing the bone farmers.He sang a hymn, and asked the people below to sing with him.The lyrics were nothing more than emphasizing the value of bone coins, or telling slaves how sacred their labor was.Fassnut was disgusted and thought to himself: I have to take her away quickly.

An hour later, Little Violet came out of the hall.As soon as she went out, she looked around like a little bird. As soon as she saw Fasnat, she ran over and took Fasnat's arm.

"My lord, you're here to pick me up again!" She smirked excitedly.

"Go home, I have something to tell you." Fasnat said.

So they went back to the cozy hut, and after entering the house, little Violet untied the rope, took off the sandals with leggings, and lay down on the bed.

"My lord, what would you like for dinner?" she asked.

Sitting beside her, Fassnut said to her, "I've collected [-] bone coins."

"What?" She sat up abruptly, the bed creaked, "Where is it?"

Fasnat put the knife in his right hand into his pocket, picked out the five pieces of paper and handed them to her, saying, "They said this can be used as bone coins, one thousand apiece."

"This is... this is a bone note. I have seen someone use it, but I have only seen one hundred." Little Violet held those banknotes, her eyes gleamed, "Is this real? ?”

"it is true."

Little Violet carefully folded the banknotes and put them in the drawer and locked them.Fassnut glared at her and said, "What are you doing locked up? That's for you to redeem yourself."

"Redemption? Ah! My lord, do you mean that these 1 bone coins are for me? Are they for me?" She suddenly grabbed Fassnat's arm, pinching him with nails."It's for you — let it go," Fassnut said.

Little Violet let go of her hand, then looked at him with straight eyes, and said, "For me? Are you kidding me, sir?"

"I said a long time ago that I would give you 1 bone coins to redeem your body. Now that the money is given to you, you can redeem yourself, and then leave with me immediately."

"now?"

"Now."

Little Violet hesitated for a moment, then said: "My lord, it's too late now, let's do it again tomorrow. I think... we should celebrate tonight."

"Alright, you can prepare." Fasnat lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.The injury he suffered in the arena last time has not healed, and his body is a little weak.I don't know what happened to Netway, he thought to himself, the priest said she was punished, well, I think she deserved it too.

In the evening, Little Violet got a big bottle of red wine, bought fresh bread and barbecue, and then cooked two dishes by herself.They set up a table in the hut, and Little Violet put the dishes on the table one by one.First of all, it was a toast. Little Violet poured two glasses of red wine, then she touched the glasses, drank a glass for herself, and then fed Fassnut a glass.After drinking, she began to feed Fassnut with a knife and fork.Fassnut used to take care of himself with his prosthetic limbs when eating, but later he got used to the care of little Violet, even if she fed him like a child, he would not feel ashamed.

In this way, they finished their meal, and there was still a lot of red wine. After the meal, they continued to drink, one glass after another.At first, little Violet fed him with a cup, and then she fed him mouth to mouth. In the end, they were not drinking, but sipping each other's body fluid.

This may be their last night here, and Fassnat can't help feeling nostalgic for the thought of leaving soon-although life here is rigid and boring, it is also stable and safe, and there is a stupid slave who can take care of me Life has saved me a lot of things.

But those who should go will definitely go, and those who should come must come. This is fate, and no one can change it.

The next day, Fassnut rarely stayed in bed, and it was already noon when he woke up.Little Violet is not around at the moment, so I don't know what to do.At this time, Fassnet glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the drawer was open.

He suddenly had a very bad premonition—the drawer was open, but the money inside was gone.

Fassnut, Unforgiven, II

Fassnut, Unforgiven, II

He immediately turned over and got up, and he opened the drawer completely with his feet-sure enough, the money was gone, only an account book was left.

Did she go to get money to redeem herself?

Fassnut was a little skeptical. He first took the prosthesis with his mouth and put it on his right hand, and then used his relatively dexterous right hand to tie the prosthesis of his left hand with his mouth.After both prosthetics were installed, he used his left hand and mouth to remove the right prosthetic, and then installed the sharp knife in his right hand.After installing the sharp knife, he used the sharp knife as a new hand to remove the prosthesis of his left hand, and finally installed the second knife.This process is cumbersome, but it is the only way he can install the dual knives himself.It is too troublesome to install the double knives, and it needs three mechanisms to fit perfectly to fix them. He can't install the knives directly, so he can only join the process of loading and unloading the prosthetic limbs.

After all this was done, ten minutes had passed.Maybe I should sleep with a knife from now on, he thought.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and little Violet poked her head inside.The two looked at each other, and the slave suddenly showed a frightened expression. "Ah, my lord...you...you're awake." She smiled dryly.

"Where's the money?" Fassnut asked.

"Uh..." She hid her hands behind her back and retreated out of the door.

"Stop and answer me, where did the money go?"

"No, I don't, I mean...I..." Her lips trembled with fear, "Money...money was..."

"Don't lie to me, tell me the truth. I can allow you to be greedy, but not betrayal."
