Chapter 588 586. This is their choice

Knowing what Anna and Isko encountered after the magic wave began, it's hard not to admire the resilience of these two people.

Although Lu Yu and Sera had already told them to "just do what they can," under the continuous natural disasters of the magic wave, looking at the increasingly decaying scene and the scarred owner of nothing, Anna still couldn't completely ignore it. I chose to do my best to save everyone one by one.

Anna always lowered her head when she said this, because it was obviously inconsistent with the instructions and even somewhat self-assertive.

But Mei Qiu never thinks that saving people is a wrong thing, and he should not be harshly criticized for it. On the contrary, Mei Qiu agrees with and appreciates Anna's decisiveness, and is even more pleased with her actions and kindness from the heart.

Seeing Anna's tearful appearance, Lu Yu said to Isco: "Make a list for me."

Isko didn't understand what Lu Yu meant and was stunned.

"Who is directly involved, who is secretly assisting, and who is supporting it, list it out and write down the details clearly."

When Isko handed over the entire scroll full of writing, Lu Yu glanced at it roughly. Several names made memories flood in his mind. They were specially reserved for the orphanage when they left Kolai because they were worried that the orphanage would suffer. He had some connections under his name, but now he is clearly on the list of perpetrators.

Lu Yu laughed playfully: "Interesting."

He pointed to "Crazy Kevin" who was at the top of the list and asked: "Is this the person who gave you a gift package of dead animals?"

Isko nodded slightly: "Crazy Kevin is a well-known magician around Boyne. Money is paramount. After mastering the necromancy magic, he became more and more arrogant. Since he did not conflict with the business association, he has always been a magician. Able to wander around the city and do shady things.”

"It's the undead again..." Lu Yu clicked his tongue, "Then this 'Brandon the Wind Breaker' is so far ahead, but you didn't write down any details. Does that mean you don't know anything about him?"

Anna felt ashamed and said: "We only know that he suddenly emerged from the slums after natural disasters occurred one after another. He accumulated a little capital through continuous lending to the poor. He seems to have hooked up with a powerful person, but who he is is unknown."

"Then please check it out. You guys have been operating here for so long, so it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Hearing this, Isco, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, quickly went out to make arrangements.

Sera wiped away Anna's tears with her tentacles, and looked a little distressed at her haggard appearance: "The Dawn Territory is on the right track, and we have many more partners, but you have never seen it with your own eyes. Now may be the right time to leave here. It’s time.”

Anna stared at the briquettes in surprise: "Lord Sera..."

She suddenly clenched her fists and shook her head slightly: "No, if I leave now, these people sheltered by the welfare home will become homeless again and suffer natural disasters one after another. They are as fragile as paper. Giving them up is no different than murder."

Sera once felt that Anna was very similar to herself, but she didn't expect that besides being similar, she was even more obsessed with him.

Just when Sera was about to give up persuasion and let everything take its course, Lu Yu spoke.

"Ana, before you make a decision, you might as well watch a show with us."

"Performance?"

…

…

In the dark basement, a bloody werewolf was tightly bound by chains and hung in the air close to the wall. Two people who were almost exhausted after being beaten with whips soaked in salt water wiped the sweat from their heads and looked behind them cautiously. Middle-aged man sitting on a chair.

It was winter, but Crazy Kevin was still wearing a short shirt, and his exposed skin was tattooed with various evil spirits and beasts from legends. His bulging muscles undulated with his movements. Those legendary creatures The monster seemed to come to life.

The face of the unruly werewolf showed fear, whether it was for the lifelike tattoos or for Crazy Kevin himself.

Although he was weak, he still shouted with all his strength: "You have found the wrong person. I don't know you, and I have never offended your people. I am just a passing adventurer!"

Crazy Kevin enjoys the change in the werewolf's attitude very much. He has always believed that making people fear him is the first priority for survival, especially in troubled times.

"Don't worry, I found the wrong person, it's you."

"But I really don't know you!"

"It doesn't matter. I just need a test subject who looks strong and can withstand the torment, and you are a perfect fit."

After saying that, Crazy Kevin put his hand on the werewolf's forehead. As he sang, the magic power turned into countless threads and penetrated into the werewolf's body. The strong werewolf couldn't hold on for long before his eyes turned white and his whole body trembled. After a while, there was no life left.

As Crazy Kevin watched, the werewolf's spirit slowly emerged on top of the corpse. It couldn't wait to pull it with magic power, like a puppeteer in a circus. This fresh spirit smoothly obeyed the orders and acted. .

After being stunned for a while, Crazy Kevin laughed.

Since discovering and mastering necromancy, he has been improving his skills in this area, and now, he can finally obtain spirits by creating death itself, instead of just manipulating fragile spirits that are about to break for his own use.

"Master Chief, that guy Isco is here, and he also brought a weirdo with a mask."

Crazy Kevin, who had just made a breakthrough, smiled and wiped his hands, but after seeing Isco, his smile quickly faded - he did not see Isco bring what he wanted.

Crazy Kevin sat down with a sullen face, without saying a word, staring at Isco with disdain, and glanced at the masked man next to him. The slight fluctuation of magic power made him even more contemptuous.

Isco took out a large gold brick from his pocket and placed it on the table: "This is one of the few we can provide you."

Crazy Kevin said angrily: "Are the people in the welfare home so deaf and unable to understand my request? When did I say that this is all?"

"I'm sorry that I can't satisfy your request." Isko said solemnly, "Fist-sized magic-forbidden materials, or at least a large number of high-level materials that can be used in alchemy or medicine refining, our welfare institution will already have a large number of them. The money is used to purchase medicine and food, and there is simply not enough surplus.”

"Not enough surplus?" Crazy Kevin laughed loudly, "If you don't have a surplus, just don't do it. You can fool anyone. Anyone who is willing can spot your generosity. Although I don't know where you got your savings, But give it to those poor people, at least I can give you some protection."

His voice suddenly became low: "Isco, I'm warning you one last time, meet my conditions, otherwise, you won't see a dead animal next time, maybe a dead companion."

"Are you too shameless for what you did to an orphanage that is always keen on helping ordinary people?"

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point. Crazy Kevin's cold eyes stayed on the masked man who spoke for a long time, and finally emphasized viciously: "You should be glad that I am in a good mood today, otherwise even if you follow Isco, Come and leave your life here.”

"You say I'm shameless, aren't you shameless?" Crazy Kevin looked at Isco and said meaningfully, "Who would run a business that has no profit for a long time, unless there is a big profit in it? , let me think about it...those people who died of illness in the orphanage for no reason, tsk tsk."

Isco clenched his fists, but thinking of what his lord had said, he endured it.

This reaction could not escape Crazy Kevin's eyes. He snorted coldly, waved his hands and asked his men to take away the gold brick, and then issued an ultimatum: "I will give you three days in the end, you can choose to use money to buy peace." ,or……"

Crazy Kevin snapped his fingers, and the werewolf's spirit floated in through the wall: "Wait until I enslave your broken souls and let them personally show me where the treasure is."

"You know necromancy, and you can also guide their remaining consciousness to obtain information?"

The surprised tone of the masked man was very useful to Crazy Kevin. Although he had no grasp of the latter, he did not intend to show his cowardice here.

"What if?"

Not giving a direct answer, letting the other party make their own guesses, and allowing it to complete its image in fear can further enhance the level of intimidation. This is what Crazy Kevin has learned from his experience in survival.

The room fell into a long silence.

Just as Isco was about to say something, he heard two rhythmic beats under Lu Yu's clothes. This signal of agreement made him calm down and choose to leave.

Lu Yu, who returned to the orphanage, got more information about the people on the list. He looked at it carefully, but he did not issue any instructions.

Anna on the side hesitated to speak, but finally turned into a sigh.

The three days given by Crazy Kevin passed quickly. Naturally, Isco did not meet his conditions. Naturally, the door of the welfare home received a gift from Crazy Kevin. It was no longer an animal body, but a bloody heart. The head of a Deerman, with the logo of the Crazy Kevin organization placed next to it.

Things that had been concealed by the welfare home were instantly exposed, and the entire city of Boyne knew that they were entangled with the difficult mad mage.

Briquettes, who used ready-made tools to make soda, enjoyed the stimulation on the tip of his tongue like a normal person. The discussions were all about naming the summoned objects and rearranging the numbers and who came first, as if everything that happened in the orphanage had nothing to do with him.

Anna was repeatedly questioned by more than 200 people in the orphanage about the authenticity of the information. She kept emphasizing that the orphanage would find ways to solve the problem, but everyone was still worried.

After calming down the emotions of these people, she asked Isco for their help one by one with a list of people who had been rescued by the orphanage.

From morning until the sky filled with stars, the exhausted two people returned to the orphanage and sat in silence looking at each other.

Coal Ball saw it, but still said nothing.

Early the next morning, Crazy Kevin's gift arrived again. This time it was a poor human wanderer. His body was separated and there was a note on his forehead - it's your turn next.

This time, Anna and Isko could no longer see the people who had been helped. According to some witnesses, they seemed to have suddenly left Boyne City before the two arrived.

Those who meet Anna and Isco will tactfully remind them of the importance of saving money and avoiding disasters. As for help... they are willing to provide any help except support.

Brandon, the Windbreaker on the list, suddenly visited the orphanage. This feminine-looking guy bluntly stated his purpose.

"For a high-level dragon material, I can help you block Crazy Kevin."

Isco said angrily: "Other magicians are afraid of Crazy Kevin's attitude of not being afraid of death and exchanging lives for lives. Aren't you afraid?"

“The people behind me can make promises.”

"And every time Crazy Kevin Lion opens his mouth, I have to pay you?"

"These are the rules of the game. I thought you should understand them very well, instead of being incompetent and raging like a child." Brandon knocked on the table and reminded impatiently, "Do you think you have the right to choose?"

"Please leave."

Isco's strong refusal made Brandon laugh instead of getting angry: "You are afraid of Crazy Kevin, the one who is playing with his life, but you are not afraid of the person who can really make your welfare home unable to survive. You don't think that the chosen one from another continent has time to take care of the trivial things here. The crew members who came back from Solon told us that she had eloped with a foreign barbarian. She is not a noble chosen one. You, a missionary, are at best a remnant of the previous dynasty."

"As long as they want, your welfare home will get into big trouble at any time and disappear naturally, including you and the guy named Anna."

Isco's eyes were full of anger, but Brandon was not afraid.

"Be angry as much as you can, this is the only thing you can do. Starting tomorrow, we will let you taste our methods and let you learn to fear us."

Brandon did what he said. The sheriff who was active on the street suddenly asked for benefits from the people who went out to buy things in the welfare home the next day. After being rejected, he confiscated the purchased items on the grounds of searching for contraband.

Not only that, rumors began to spread in taverns and the market that the welfare home was secretly doing illegal activities, one of which was selling the organs of the dead for puppeteers to use in experiments.

The speed at which rumors spread was undoubtedly amazing. Soon, someone "witnessed" the welfare home doing such things, and then someone took the opportunity to doubt the source of the welfare home's funds and questioned their fundamental purpose of public welfare. Then, voices of condemnation came one after another, as if everyone had seen the evil deeds happen with their own eyes and everyone was a witness to the crime.

No one talked about the good things the welfare home had done.

The boarders and patients in the welfare home had not yet recovered from the panic of being intimidated by Crazy Kevin, and they were dominated by new remarks. They no longer questioned whether the welfare home could still shelter and treat them, but gathered their few belongings, and their behavior was wary.

Sera watched the situation gradually becoming chaotic and sighed: "Are we being too cruel to Anna?"

"You have the answer in your heart, why ask us?" Lu Yu said, "We didn't do anything, right? Everything happened naturally. If she realizes that all this is too cruel, is it right to let her still be enthusiastic but deceived?"

"It's true that right and wrong are very vague, but I didn't expect that no one would be willing to help her, even if it's just verbal. I just..."

After thousands of words, Sera finally said...

"Forget it."

"Forget it..."

"This is their choice."
