A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Cloris suddenly had the urge to cut off her head and dedicate it to the other party, but this feeling was not strong and was quickly suppressed.

"What a beautiful face!" the beauty stared at Cloris and praised.

The latter maintains the appearance of "Shaqima", but the thread woven on the surface of the skin seems to be able to be seen by the other party, and the real shape can be seen directly.

Cloris curled up her lips jerkyly, unable to smile.

"What about me?" asked the beauty.

"Ok?"

"How about my face, do you think I'm beautiful?"

"If I say I'm not beautiful, will you let me die directly; if I say beautiful, will my head be cut off and become a part of you?"

Hearing Cloris's vigilant words, the beauty was taken aback for a moment, and burst out laughing: "Why do you have so many weird ideas!"

"It sounds like you have some experience in dealing with abnormalities, but [Beauty Andrea] is a reasonable abnormality. Except for ordinary people who are not firm in their will and like to cut off their heads and give them to her, basically There is no danger on the road! She is like us, she likes reading, petting cats, drinking tea..."

While Theo Pavel Kale was speaking, the beauty Andrea took the cat's head from a niche, and pinched the nose of a female green monster, tea and boiling water spewed out of the green monster's mouth.She filled the teacup, then sat in a chair, and sipped the tea, as the goblins said, while petting the cat.

"Tea?" asked Andrea the beauty politely.

"No, thank you..." Cloris still felt that the other party was very dangerous, but she tried her best to return the same politeness, "You are beautiful, but I have a question... Your head is also the result of other people's mysterious characteristics. Was it forced to cut off in the influence?"

"Hmm," the beauty Andrea shook her head, "I will make a deal with the girls I fancy, within the scope of my ability, I will satisfy their wishes, and they will return their heads to me. "

girl……

Cloris glanced at the various snake-headed spider brains and crocodile-headed lizard faces displayed in the alcove. It seems that the beautiful Andrea has a wide range of aesthetics, and she doesn't mind meat or vegetables.

"Theo, you have to talk to the boss, it's too boring here, there is no excitement, and there are no good-looking heads!" Andrea the beauty suddenly complained, "Either give me a day off every month to go out to breathe, or send Some thoughtful artifacts and abnormalities come in! Extraordinary creatures are also fine!"

"I'll talk about this later, I'll take the guests to choose the products first..." Regarding this issue, the goblin didn't dare to entangle with the beauty Andrea, and he said goodbye carefully, looking not relaxed.

Shuttle through the winding corridors and intersections with layers of barriers, Cloris said to Theo Pavel Calle: "Are you a little afraid of her?"

"To be precise, I'm afraid of some of her!" The goblin muttered, "Those heads will retain their personalities in life. Although they share memories with each other, their attitudes will be obviously different. Can you imagine a green-skinned savage smeared all over the place with shit?" Is the wall full of scenes?"

"That's really..." Cloris was speechless.

That was a stark contrast.

The goblin brought Cloris to a display window. Inside was a snow-white and soft human-skin mask locked by an iron hook. The corners of the mask extended and stretched out like tentacles, and finally shrunk wearily under the restraint of the iron hook. go back.

"The spiritual weapon [Face Knight], after wearing it, overlaps with the skin and is completely transparent, which can prevent direct soul prying, and at the same time simulate a false soul for the wearer. After the soul is injected with false memories and thoughts, it can be seen in some hidden soul prying eyes. It’s a way to hide from the world,” Theo Pavel Calle introduced, “Basically there are no side effects, and the friendly price is 770 Seven Aegis.”

"What do you mean basically no side effects?"

"The craftsman who made this spiritual weapon was disgusted after wearing this mask, it was too ugly, [Face Knight] tore her face, although the craftsman re-transplanted the skin later, she never used this spiritual weapon again device." Theo Pavel shrugged helplessly, "The aesthetics of [Face Knight] is close to that of human beings, and it is best to have a pure natural appearance. It seems to be able to diagnose the wearer's true appearance. One who has undergone plastic surgery The Transcendents in the world have also been brutally murdered."

"..." Cloris shook her head.

It's not that she's not confident enough about her appearance, she's just worried that one day this spiritual weapon will lose control of her veins and tear her face off.

"Okay then, come with me here."

Theo Pavel Calle brought the girl to a row of display cabinets. In order to make it easier for Cloris to hide, he recommended relatively light and petite accessories: "The Abnormal Body [Gossip Earrings] can make other people produce A good relationship with the wearer, severe cases will have false memories, a dancer became popular 12 years ago because of this. Unfortunately, she was too addicted to it and never took it off, and ended up with hundreds of men and women, ghoul blood, orcs Goblins, monstrous beasts... all died at a banquet, they threw, uh, dirty parties, and the dancers seemed to be infected by the false memories of those people, and then spread among themselves."

"..."

"Oh, this is not for sale. As long as you don't wear it, there is no risk. It should be locked in the safe after the base is built...Here, here is the list I prepared for you. Let's read it as we go."

"What is this?" Cloris took the list and suddenly pointed to a white and transparent crystal brooch in the showcase.

"What what?" Theo Pavel Calle was taken aback.

"Clear, crystal brooch."

"We don't have any brooches here?" The goblin snatched Cloris' list, glanced through it, and hammered his head thinking, "I only wrote half of the nine lines of No. 20, damn it, I must be trying to write something, But I forgot..."

164. Under the Warehouse ([-])

Since Theo Pavel Calle has recorded this item in the list, it means that he also intends to give it to Cloris as an option, but he seems to have forgotten it because of the mysterious properties of the brooch itself.

"Can't you see it?" Cloris asked.

"I'm not sure, I just... I can't seem to concentrate there, I open the cabinet, show it to me... Wait, don't touch it directly..." Theo Pavel Calle said while pressing his hat , "If it's really on the list, I will definitely record it, let me look through the diary, and I will write all the more important schedules in it!"

The goblin took out a journal with a strong cover from the inner pocket of his coat, and opened it to read:

"Spiritual tool [hide and seek], stored independently, every six hours to observe for two minutes under the alarm... [hide and seek] will reduce the sense of existence of oneself and the wearer, in the unobserved state, wearing time is too long Long-term will cause the user to forget the existence of [Hide and Seek], and lose consciousness... Oh, there are two story records...

"In the New World in 1377, the craftsman Ofigne extracted the spirit of the cloaked ghost, and used light-transmitting crystals and artificial spiritual veins to create this lotus-shaped brooch. It was originally just a small toy for playing hide-and-seek with his son, but he used it wrong. The material, the light-transmitting crystal is actually amber condensed by the resin of the white crystal tree, and a colorless Anopheles mosquito larva is trapped inside. It is estimated that thousands of years have deepened the mysterious characteristics of the larvae, and it is refined in Ausignia. It was really unlucky to reorganize during the process. When he was discovered by the local investigation team, he had already starved into a mummy full of fungi and bacteria, and even the flies and mosquitoes didn't notice him..."

Cloris asked in awe, "What about the second story?"

Theo Pavel Khalesu says:

"It was a test done by a researcher at our Canary Firm. [Hide and seek] will only hide the existence of the spirit weapon and the wearer. If you leave clues in the process, it will be easy for people to discover the clues. At the same time, the best The wearing time is two to seven minutes, depending on the strength of the individual soul, the stronger the soul, the longer it can stay awake.

"'Experimental item 11, No.3 times: Wearing for 1 minutes, I almost forgot the fact of wearing [hide and seek], it took a full minute to recall why I was standing here, Grom turned around in a hurry , he thought I had disappeared.'

"'Experimental item 12, No.[-] times...'

"'Experimental item 20, No.[-] four times: I was reading at the time, and it was only when the alarm clock hidden in the corner rang that I learned from the note hidden inside that I was conducting an important experiment. I learned about the progress of the experiment in the record book—eight hours after I lost my observation, I completely forgot about the existence of [Hide and Seek], which is so strange, it records that I have an assistant named Glom, who is Glom? '"

Theo Pavel Kale closed the diary, and said with lingering fear: "That's what happened, it's a very dangerous thing, Glom is said to be a Transcendent with four skills and a good soul strength , In the end, only the boss still remembered this person. Once wearing [Hide and Seek] for a long time, most people will permanently forget it. The rating in the diary is a disaster, and [-] Aegis is not included in the gift items. "

Cloris frowned: "Then why do you write it down?"

"The Canary Firm can provide you with a 'Extraordinary Business Loan'! There are several goods on the list worth more than [-] Aegis. If you need it, I can apply for a low-interest loan for you!" The goblin once again exposed the profiteer face.

"Low interest? How much is the interest?"

"Looking at our close cooperation relationship, the interest rate for loans within one year is 12.00%.15.00, the interest rate for loans within one to three years is 19.00%.[-], and the interest rate for loans between three and five years is [-]%.[-]..." the goblin rambled listed.

"Stop, stop!" Cloris immediately glared, "What is the benchmark loan interest rate of Explorer Bank, do you think I'm a fool?"

"This, this is different, hehehe," even Theo Pavel Kahler, who was thick-skinned like a wall, couldn't help laughing embarrassingly at the moment, "'Extraordinary business loans' have high risks and high default rates. Some explorers After borrowing money to improve their strength, they ventured into the ruins confidently, and never came out again, and most likely died inside; there are also some extraordinary people who adhere to the idea of ​​making a ticket and slipping away, and run away with money. Canary Firm is not like an explorer The guild family has a big business, and many malicious debts cannot be recovered, these are all bad debts!"

This kind of thing is not unheard of. Although the explorer's guild's contract has increased the cost of breaching the contract, if someone just makes such a vote and never uses the "good faith contract" again, no one can do anything to him.

In particular, during the effective period of a "good faith contract", other "good faith contracts" can be signed.There was a black-hearted transcendent who had a time gap, traveled through more than a dozen airspaces before breaking all honesty contracts, and found dozens of banks to loan at least a million Aegis, even though the Explorers Guild used the small prophecy to arrest this person He was brought to justice, but none of the recovered accounts were kept!

Moreover, there was more than one person committing such a crime, and the Explorers Guild had very limited manpower, so many small cases involving tens of thousands of Aegis (according to the exchange rate, not all of them were Aegis) had to be shelved.

"According to the explorer's guild's benchmark interest rate, give me a [-]-year loan of [-] Aegis. Anyway, it's not your money. The stronger I am, the better I can carry out your commission, isn't it?" Cloris said Confidently, she added, "Besides, I can't take your cash, and I will immediately exchange it for extraordinary items here. You may not be able to sell these items in the base for several years or ten years. You can’t earn a penny of interest, and you have to spend a lot of money to maintain the containment facilities! If you want me to say, I’m saving you money, and you shouldn’t accrue interest to me if you take these things away!”

Theo Pavel pondered over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

This girl is terrible!

If she joins the Canary Firm, she might be able to sit on an equal footing with him, Theo Pavel Kale, within three years!

Once the conditions are negotiated, the rest is to sign the contract with the "good faith contract".

Cloris is leaving [hide and seek], others may be very inconvenient because of the negative effects of continuing to carry it, but she has the ring of the void, from the perspective of personality, the mysterious characteristics of the ring of the void are enough to deal with [hide and seek] in all directions form rolling.

All she needs is tight timing when she uses it in a pinch.

[Hide and seek] It is indeed very dangerous for a transcendent at her level, but the more dangerous it is, the more effective and effective it will be when facing the Grace House.

165. The Sheep and the Shepherd

In addition to [Hide and Seek], Cloris also "bought" a shotgun worth 120 Aegis, a pure alchemy weapon with four rounds, no negative effects, but the enchanted bullets are a bit expensive, A shot ranges from [-] Aegis to [-] Aegis.

Cloris spent nearly 28 Aegis on just [-] rounds of conventional bullets, four rounds of information pollution, and four rounds of blazing sun.

The girl "bought" a strange object worth [-] Aegis [Pearl of Rest], which can generally be used to make spiritual weapons, or directly use its own characteristics. [Pearl of Rest] Produced in the place of rest, it can strengthen the efficiency of meditation and stabilize the soul of the extraordinary. If an enemy really invades Cloris' brain, under the protection of the Pearl of Rest, only a part of the superficial consciousness can be glimpsed .

She finally signed a ten-year loan contract of [-] Aegis with an annual interest rate of [-]%. Considering that Aegis is still depreciating at a relatively large rate, Cloris may repay the loan In the end, I found that I was making money instead.

Theo Pavel Kahler looked distressed. If the bill could not be collected, he would have to fill in the hole, and the savings he had accumulated over the years would be destroyed!

What he lent out was indeed money from a commercial firm, but if something went wrong and he didn't take responsibility, there was a high probability that he would pack up and leave.

However, Cloris was still not satisfied. She looked at the greedy goblin and grinned with silver teeth, seemingly unable to close her mouth: "The original contract also said that you will give away spiritual artifacts worth less than [-] Aegis. Right?"

Theo Pavel Kale said anxiously: "You have already taken away [-] worth of goods, what more do you want!"

"Take it?" Cloris didn't like to hear these words, she frowned and asked, "The contract is written in black and white, are you saying that I don't have to pay back the money?"

Theo Pavel Kahler scratched his head, the reason was this, but he always felt that something was wrong.

He has to go back and do the math, compare and compare, whether it is a loss or a gain!

In the end, Cloris shelved the idea of ​​asking for the spirit weapon, mainly because the spirit weapon itself was cursed. With [Hide and Seek] and [Pearl of Rest], she temporarily had no additional needs.

When leaving this warehouse, Theo Pavel Calle said hello to Andrea the beauty and said goodbye.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr etc. etc. etc., she responded enthusiastically, "Hello, Theo, look, today I am able to baser , Base 23 heads, oh, oh, oh, oh--"

The little girl had a head, and another head, and finally she was overwhelmed and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, beauty Andrea, oh, oh, oh, oh--" more than 20 heads made gentle and doting voices together.

Such a warm scene fell on Cloris, who had nothing but absurd horror in her eyes.

The goblin didn't want to stay for long, so he hurriedly took Cloris out of the base.After walking a long way, the laughter of "Aiya Yaya" was still chattering in the minds of the two of them.

After leaving Fern's Nest Town, Cloris put the [Hide and Seek] and the shotgun into the ring, and wrapped the thumb-sized [Pearl of Peace] with thread and sewed it into the cavity between the chest and abdomen, Hide with Void Touch.

She rearranged her outfit and dressed up as refugee Sachima to go to the Grace House to listen to scriptures.

There are more and more refugees in the city that never sleeps. Even though the Duke's Mansion is cracking down on smuggling, there are still large and small smugglers leading refugees to land on the long coastline of Hurricane Island.

This is quite conscientious. If you really encounter a black-hearted snakehead, it is quite normal to directly take away all the family property of the refugees on the Wuhe River, and then resell the whole family to the mining area to do hard labor.

Many people thought that they could receive relief after coming to the city that never sleeps, or at least find a normal job that can fill their stomachs, but what they didn't want to encounter was the carnival of the slave industry.

But the locals don't feel sorry for these refugees. Food prices have skyrocketed, anti-radiation shortages, and crime rates have skyrocketed. If these untouchables are allowed to sweep the entire city like locusts, they, the natives, will also be reduced to nothing more than insects.

At this time, the appearance of the Grace House is to point out a bright direction for the wandering people, although in Cloris's view, that so-called direction can be summed up only by empty-headed "prayers", so It doesn't help, but in the eyes of most people, the glory of the Holy Father will eventually cover the dark land.

The refugees rubbed shoulders, pushed and squeezed, and lined up, waiting eagerly for alms from the Grace House.No one dared to make trouble, but for women and children, or the weak, sick and elderly, some able-bodied refugees just stared at them, and they had to obediently give up their seats.

A refugee chained more than a dozen skinny children. After receiving food and water from the donation point according to the head, he directly snatched the children's share, leaving only a little bit of food residue and dirty water for survival. If anyone died, he would just throw it away. The streets are full of orphans and gangs of teenagers who can't survive, and they don't have to worry about people.

The almsgiver was a priest of about 50 years old, kind, old, but healthy.He stroked a little girl's hair, and asked gently: "My child, if you are intimidating, you must speak up. If no one speaks, the light in everyone's heart will be extinguished. If everyone speaks, Everyone represents the righteousness of the Father."

The little girl half understood, she turned her head and forgot about the man, and took the alms in a shivering and silent manner.

Cloris stood in three or four positions behind, and criticized: "You should punish the wicked, the lamb follows the shepherd, and only if you show her the right direction, can she see the radiance of our Lord clearly." The place!"

The girl's abrupt speech attracted sideways glances, just like a little magic stick.

Only the old priest's cloudy eyes lit up, he stopped his followers to give alms, called Cloris to come forward, and asked, "Son, who taught you these words?"

Cloris has studied the "Bible of Mercy" for more than half a month. Before that, she has read through the "Sun Bible" and "Star Scripture". Some gibberish.Moreover, she has observed the characteristics of each donor, and has a general grasp of their character, at least the character shown.

She said seriously: "It's written in black and white in the scriptures."

"Oh?"

"The eleventh sentence of verse 27 states, 'We are lost lambs with unredeemed sins. He is the first saint among us to wash our sins with the precious blood. He should be the shepherd. From now on, we will all I will learn from him, and whoever dies will become a new shepherd, and the lamb must follow the right blood, or it will fall into misery." Cloris looked solemn and righteous, "The shepherd will tell us where to eat and drink grass and Spring water, we have to follow the correct and wise shepherd, otherwise we will sin, if you are not willing to be her shepherd, don’t you deliberately let her get lost in the wrong way?”

The refugees, including the priest's entourage, all stared at the girl in bewilderment. Only the cloudy eyes of the elderly priest became brighter. He said with satisfaction and appreciation: "Although your interpretation of the scriptures has many flaws and misinterpretations, you can also understand the meaning of the scriptures." It's not unreasonable," he said, looking at the followers beside him, "let the sinners repent before the Holy Father."

As he spoke, the entourage immediately held down the refugee who was chaining the children, pointing the gun at his forehead.

"boom."

166. The Sheep and the Shepherd ([-])

With a sudden gunshot, the refugee who abducted the child lost half of his head. He was still standing, his eyes were round and his pupils trembled slightly.

The other refugees did not rush away, staring at the food in the dead man's basket in horror and numbness.

The old priest looked at Cloris gently. In the deep world, there is no shortage of foolish men and women who want to grab life-saving straws. In essence, these people do not worship gods, but miracles and mighty power.

In short, if the benevolent Father and the ancient gods of the deep world were placed among these refugees for them to choose, it is estimated that whoever is stronger and who can make them live better will be whom they believe in.

As for these people's in-depth understanding of the teachings when food and clothing are not enough, it is really difficult for others.

Therefore, a girl who looks twelve or thirteen years old and can take the initiative to make her own understanding based on the scriptures is already very rare.

He asked: "Since this is the case, what is a sacrificer, what is the correct blood, and what is a sacrifice to become a shepherd? You see him, he has gone to the heavenly kingdom of the Father to hear his sins, so he has given up his life, so he is qualified to act as a substitute for the Lord." Are you shepherding sheep?"

Didn't you sacrifice your life for him?Cloris was slandering in her heart, but on the surface she was lost in thought, her brown-black face was a little red and hot, as if she had encountered an unsolvable question, but she still stubbornly replied: "I, we should miss the Lord's grace, Uh, to die for the Lord, er, God loves the world, so when we, er, die for the Lord, we also sacrifice our lives for the world, er, for the shepherds!"

The priest nodded slightly, shook his head again, smiled and said nothing.
