Chapter 331 The War of the Poor
Ben Rachel's rescue came in a timely manner. Just when the little girl was most helpless and desperate, this fat old man who appeared on the scene could be compared to stepping on the spot. He directly "showed his power" and burned the "big villain" who the little girl feared the most. The fly ash was removed, the whole process was clean and bloody, and the gorgeous flames were even more flickering. The little girl's eyes were full of little stars.
In this case, even if Ben Rachel, who was born from the sky, looks crooked, he is the only angel in the little girl's heart at this moment—not to mention the deceptive picture of Ben Rachel. The kind face looks like a kind old man.
The result was that the little girl who had just escaped danger was not frightened by the flames shown by Ben Rachel, on the contrary, she looked at the short, fat, fat old man with adoring eyes.
"That's good... that's amazing..."
"Okay, bring your grandpa here quickly, let me see how he is doing."
Ignoring the poor people who were still weak just now but rushed away, Ben Rachel touched the little girl's head very kindly, then took out a piece of delicate beef jerky from the storage ring and handed it to the little girl.
"Oh! Grandpa... Grandpa, are you okay?"
When she found that her grandfather was still lying on the ground and did not stand up, the little girl panicked. When she heard that Ben Rachel asked her to bring her grandfather over for treatment, the little girl, who was pleasantly surprised and anxious, ran to the old man who was lying on the ground. past.
"What's going on! How did you kill that nobleman? I still have a lot of questions to ask!"
Seeing that Ben Rachel had appeased the troublesome little girl, Punk walked out of the shadows in the corner with a displeased face. Until now, he really felt that as a mage, Ben Rachel's impulsiveness and "sentimentality" were too late It's over.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I stopped for a while, but I'm afraid that kind of little nobleman doesn't know much, so let's just ask this little girl and it's the same"...
Ben Rachel, who knew he was in the wrong, didn't quibble, he just laughed absent-mindedly, and then carefully took out a bottle of "vitality potion" that was originally intended for the griffin to drink, and diluted it. It can be seen that the fat old man is very serious about the little girl. He really cared about it, he also wanted to treat the little girl and the old man with hemoptysis.
Well, the fact that Ben Rachel hadn't even realized that he had just burned a potentially valuable intelligence avenue.
"This kind of awareness... no wonder you lost your fortune in business. You seem to be quite impulsive and careless, and you really deserve to lose money!"
It’s okay to be unhappy, but Punk has nothing to do with this fat old man. Although Ben Rachel looks very talkative, Punk knows that this guy is actually a very "minded" mage, and he never ignores it after making a decision. Since he Already preparing to rescue the helpless little loli, Punk knew he was going to waste time here again.
Seeing that Ben Rachel is still joking with little Lolita without any sense of crisis, Punk can only complain secretly helplessly. Now he feels that to some extent, Ben Rachel, who is meddling in his own business, can also be regarded as a " Pig teammates".
------Dividing line------
On a quiet night, a warm ball of fire floated in mid-air next to a broken wall, and Ben Rachel and Punk were sitting opposite the little girl and the old man.
After drinking the diluted "vitality potion", both the skinny old man and the weak little girl looked much better. Now the old man and the young man are holding the candied pastry handed over by Ben Rachel. It was a great pleasure to eat.
"Okay, it's getting late now, if you're full, I have a few questions for you"!
As time passed, Punk, who became more and more impatient, waited until the little girl ate the last piece of pastry, and then began to ask questions coldly. Watching the little girl eat snacks in the middle of the night.
Ignoring Ben Rachel's dissatisfied gaze, Punk coldly began to "interrogate" the little girl and the old man:
"I hope the two of you will answer the following questions truthfully. Believe me, it is very unwise to deceive a mage!"
"Don't dare, master mage, the little old man definitely has something to say, what to say."
Hearing punk's "teaching", the old man was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees. The old man who has experienced a lot is not like the little girl who thinks that his "benefactor" is a "good man" if he saves himself. You can also see the difference in attitude between Punk and Ben Rachel. When looking at his granddaughter, the fat mage master's eyes are full of love, while the hooded mage is not at all. Undisguised impatience.
What frightened the old man the most was that the dominance of the two master mages was obviously the "young man" with cold eyes. Just express dissatisfaction.
"first question".
The punk sound woke the old man out of his thoughts.
"Where have all the young and middle-aged people in this town gone?"
Regardless of Ben Rachel's repeated hints of "scaring the little girl, hurry up and restrain me", Punk raised a very critical question from the very beginning.
"Young man, oh..."
Hearing Punk's question, the old man's eyes showed unconcealable sadness:
"Where else can I go? The battlefield. My eldest son, second son... the six sons were all taken away by the Kingdom Army one after another. They went to the battlefield and never came back."
"Is the war so fierce that we need to take away all the young and strong"?
"The little old man doesn't know if it's fierce or not, but those aristocrats who conscript come here every year. I heard from the elders that this war has been fought like this for hundreds of years, and the country has never been taken back. But now, people like us There are not many young and middle-aged people in the small town!"
"By the way... old man, since the war is long and costly, why don't the townspeople seriously grow crops?"
Ben Rachel, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help interjecting. He was still very impressed by the weed-covered farmland.
"Crops? Hehe, seeing that the two masters are both foreigners, the little old man doesn't have so many taboos when talking. To be honest, the little old man also worked for noble masters when I was young. How can the appetites of those nobles be filled? Are you full? If the royal family wants to collect three cents of tax, they will collect seven cents privately, and now even the royal family is taxed seven cents, do you think those nobles can leave a grain of food for us poor people?"
Having said that, the old man sighed deeply and continued to babble:
"Speaking of it, little old man, I don't understand why General Joni wants to fight every day. The Dragon Roar Kingdom is such a good person. In the past, when they caught up with the disaster years, some of them secretly sent food to us, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Miles, I don’t know what kind of enmity the ancestors made hundreds of years ago, and it will take hundreds of years to die..." .
Falling into these sad emotions, the old man even forgot the two "mage masters" in front of him. As the night gradually deepened, the little girl couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep early, and the old man's words gradually became more and more low. It seemed that this Both were exhausted.
Although Punk still wants to throw a "sleep spell" on the two ordinary people, the old and the young, and then continue to hurry up and ask questions, but......
Seeing Ben Rachel's angry eyes, Punk had no choice but to give up his most efficient plan.
