Son of the Olden Days

It took a long time for Shuggs to look up solemnly.

"The benefits in this are not small. If we rush into it, once we are targeted by any forces, we will lose more than we gain, and we will even be unable to protect ourselves."

Regarding Shuggs' judgment, Saul nodded and said:

"So before we come up with a relatively safe way to solve the sales problem, don't try to get involved. In short, I will share the benefits with you and use it as a source of consecration money for us to leave the monastery as soon as possible."

Shuggs raised his head and took a deep look at Saul, but in the end he said nothing. He believed that with the present friendship, he would no longer be shaken by a few bags of coins.

As for the sharing of benefits, the next inquiries about intelligence, the search for pharmaceutical sales, and the coordination of all aspects of the relationship, Shuggs believes that there is always an opportunity to contribute.

It is impossible to say nothing about the benefits behind the medicine, but Shuggs is not too eager.

This is a matter that requires long-term consideration, otherwise, let alone gaining wealth, it is possible to lose your life even if you accidentally lose it.

Just when he walked to the corner, Shuggs kicked a tight cloth bag on the ground with his toes, then turned his head to look at Saul.

"Let's talk about it, then, what are you doing stealing these foods?"

The famine has passed, and these stolen foods are piled up in the corner so randomly, obviously not intended to be eaten.

There was a sudden pause in the busyness in Sol's hands.

This guy is as keen as a grey hound.

After a moment of silence, Thor seemed to have made up his mind before speaking again.

"Melissa is still alive."

This unquestionable answer made Shuggs look inexplicable. He was not used to the jumpiness brought about by such an abrupt topic, and Thor had mentioned this topic more than once.

"Yes, didn't I just tell you in winter, not only is she alive, she is alive too."

"Don't tell me that you didn't see her in the monastery today. Every time I think of that sow, it makes me think that the monster in the wilderness has come to town. Don't..."

Saul interrupted Shuggs directly.

"I'm going to kill her soon."

The bottom of the well suddenly fell silent.

At that moment, Shuggs felt that Thor's voice was a bit trance and unreal, as if coming from under the water. When he looked up, Saul's face was obviously not joking, and there was only coldness and determination in his tone.

Shuggs looked shocked, he suddenly realized that he might not know Saul as he thought he might be.

Although Gray Screen Town in different periods is chaotic and has no moral bottom line, there is still a certain order. Of course, the so-called order exists only to safeguard the interests of the rich and those who are above them.

There are roughly two types of people in Gray Screen that can't be provoked. One is the various forces entrenched in the town, such as the major guilds. If you provoke them without the strength to protect yourself, you are likely to die.

The other is someone related to the mayor Elton.

If you move the interests of old Elton or challenge his rights, then it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Gray Screen. At that time, even if you kill the mayor, it will be useless, because Elton represents a group of intertwined interests.

Melissa's position in Gray Screen is a bit special.

She is not only a prominent priest in the Phoenix Monastery, but also the wife of Chad Herrick.

And Chad Herrick is not only the owner of the ‘Golden Rose’ tavern in the northern district of Greyscreen, but also the younger brother of the mayor Elton Herrick.

People may not understand the complicated interests behind this marriage, but everyone has enough admiration for Chad's courage to marry a fierce shrew like Melissa as his wife.

From this disgusting combination, Melissa clearly belongs to the Elton camp.

In fact, it is true. Almost half of the monastery’s monthly income flows into the mayor Elton’s pockets through Melissa.

In theory, a woman who has a marriage cannot become a nun. This is tantamount to blasphemy, but in Greyscreen this seems to be no problem at all.

Under the wrist of the mayor Elton, Melissa not only entered the monastery, but was also promoted to the position of nun, and no one had ever questioned this.

Killing a priest is definitely not a trivial matter.

Even if the Dark Temple didn't bother to care about the life and death of a **** servant because of the edge of Gray Screen Town, with Melissa's local connections and influence, the Mayor Elton could not pass the pass alone.

It is conceivable that once Melissa died, how much storms would be set off in Gray Screen.

In Shuggs's opinion, there are actually many ways to kill Melissa, whether it is poisoning or sneak attack, but the real difficulty is not **** the opponent, but how to get out afterwards.

So this matter is even more dangerous than reselling medicines in terms of the degree of danger.

"Why?" Shuggs asked after a short silence.

He didn't blindly dissuade Saul, but prepared to figure out the cause of the whole thing first, and then judge from the root cause.

"Do you remember Sister Precia?"

"Of course, isn't she dead?" Shuggs nodded and asked.

In fact, as long as the orphans who have been in the monastery, almost no one will forget the gentle and beautiful shadow. However, when the famine was raging at first, two nuns and three orphans died in chaos in the monastery. Precia's name In it.

Although Shuggs was not in the monastery at the time, he still vaguely heard the news later.

"She is indeed dead, originally she was six years older than me, but now she is only five years older than me."

Saul's expression gradually dimmed, and his voice was a little hollow, like a small rock rolling down the abyss.

Shuggs' gaze flickered a few times quickly. From Sol's words, Precia had been dead for nearly a year, and her death seemed to be related to the nun's elder Melissa.

"Is it worth it? I mean taking a huge risk just to...maintain this point of justice."

After scratching his head and thinking for a long time, Shuggs came up with the word ‘justice’ to express what he wanted to say. After all, this word is too far away from the world of orphans.

Saul didn't answer, only began to narrate intermittently.

There was a strange peace in that voice, like dragging a piece of dead wood from the swamp of memory alone.

Precia is also an orphan, but she did not leave the Phoenix Monastery after the Bar Mitzvah, but stayed as a nun.

It was a beautiful and warm girl with a gentle personality, enthusiasm and energetic, which made it hard to imagine that she was once one of the indifferent orphans.

Maybe it was because she was an orphan. When Precia was on duty, she would make sure that the food was distributed to every orphan as fair as possible.

And when an orphan has experienced bullying and grievance, and resents everything, she will soothe your soul with gentle eyes and words.

Precia did not take special care of Saul, but treated the other orphans the same.

On the surface, Saul was withdrawn and silent, and seemed to be very disciplined, but in fact, he was far more stubborn than the other orphans.

Most of the time, Thor is like a downright bystander, occasionally staring at the beautiful figure busy among the orphans.

She is so shining, as if always radiating warmth and light to the surroundings.

Saul disagrees with this, he can hardly imagine why such a miserable world would give birth to such an elf.

She is so beautiful and kind that she is incompatible with this sordid world, and Saul thinks that such a pure person has a high probability of ending in tragedy, because she is just an orphan, and there is no power or protection behind her.

Later, with Precia's intelligence, he finally noticed Saul, a guy who was inconsistent.

So under Precia's half admonition and half temptation, Saul began to read and then learned to read, she opened the door to another world for him.

Precia told Saul that knowing the world in which she lives is the most important thing in a person's early life.

In addition, she also taught Sol to think about the meaning of existence. Dreams, future, freedom, glory, words that have nothing to do with orphans were mentioned from her beautiful lips.

She even mentioned the sun, moon, stars, kings..., words that are so ancient that this dark world no longer exists, and are deeply sinking in the river of human history.

All of this is subverting the closed, narrow, unfounded conjectures of the world that Thor had constructed in his heart in the past.

Perhaps because of the long time spent together, some vague emotions became deeper unconsciously.

When two people stayed together, Precia was casual and natural. In front of Sol, she never concealed her playfulness or the little complaints peculiar to girls.

When Saul's knowledge improves, she will pat Saul's dirty hair on his head for encouragement. Every day she also helps Sol cover, so that Sol has at least two hourglass time to stay in the underground library of the monastery.

Looking back now, that should be the only glimmer of light in my gray childhood.
