old light morning light

Chapter 31 "Thirty"

Walking through the narrow and dark alley again, the flickering lights in the distance are the blocks in the black market.

At the beginning of the night, the icy cold wind came as promised, and finally returned to nature through the narrow alley behind us.

Alas, there is no danger.

In the end, there was still no information about the black falcon from other sources, which is quite a pity.

I can only know that he may have done some things in the past that were not on the stage.

Maybe it was helpless, or there may be other reasons, but it doesn't matter anymore.

But in the end my goal was achieved. Judging from the side description of the man in black, although this black falcon is not a good person, he should not be a villain either.

Naturally, I won't make any fuss about the deal I've agreed to, so I don't need to worry too much about it.

But we have to guard against it.

Forget it, let's go back and find Moral first, otherwise he will run away by himself according to my agreement, then it will really not be fun.

"Then thank you both for sending us off, and we will take our leave."

After leaving the black market, we also successfully found Moral who had been watching the time in the place where we lived.

It's basically the same as what I thought, this guy really listened to my words.

As the serious problem in my heart was gradually resolved, everyone would naturally have a more relaxed life in the following days.

The only problem now is that I have spent almost all the cash on hand, and now I only have no more than 300 Reichsmarks left in my hand.

Luckily, the Reichsmark is still a pretty huge monetary unit.

After dividing half of the money in his hand back to Moral, he divided half of the money in his hand and handed it to Nalia.

"I do not want."

Of course, Nalia's reaction was in line with my expectations.

But I'm not sure if it's a back-and-forth or a real lack of intention.

Many inferences and observations are not applicable to women, and this is where the magic lies.

Thinking about it, I should persuade her to accept it, right?
To be honest, I am very satisfied with the performance in front of Black Falcon just now, and she deserves it.

"If it wasn't for your decisive protection of me, maybe it's time for Moral to pack up and prepare to run away."

The implication is to thank her for what she did just now, but in fact...

Let's put it this way, maintaining some relationships often requires some sacrifices. In this world, except for your parents and children, there is no such thing as taking things for granted.

Now it seems that Nalia is also a trustworthy partner at present, but we have nothing to give her, and it is entirely based on her willingness to be with us.

So the money now is just consumables to maintain this bond.

Although the amount of money is not a lot, it is better than this ratio is very large.

It is only right for me to return the remaining half of my body to Morar. As for the remaining part of me, I took out the other half in front of her and handed it directly to her.

In her subconscious mind, Moral's share of the reasonable half has been directly ignored, and she can only see the scene of "I gave her half of the money".

As we all know, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.

Therefore, Nalia would not accept the money easily even if she was emotional.

"This is too outlandish, don't do this!"

Nalia also reached out and pushed my hand holding the money back to my chest.

Without any surprise, he refused decisively and directly.

Moral on the side was also obviously surprised. After looking at the money I was holding, he looked at Nalia.

He finally nodded at me and walked away.

If you really want to keep Nalia as a helper firmly by your side, you still have to find a way to get her to accept my "reward".

At this time, the words used by the other party to refuse often contain a lot of information.

Discourses such as "this is too outlandish", the general subconscious mind is that everything should be done, which is different from "this is too precious", which is completely absent before the incident Considered wanting performance in return.

Her eyes are not evasive, they are very clear, and her expression has no trace of extraneous impurities, so don't worry about her feeling that she is short of money.

"We all regard you as our own, so we should, but you have to be clear about one thing. If it weren't for you, I might really face a more dangerous situation."

On the one hand, follow her wishes and let her know that I do know what she thinks in her heart; on the other hand, I should reduce the reward appropriately, perhaps half the ratio, which is really too high.

"If you don't accept it, I will feel guilty and let you accompany me to such a dangerous place..."

"Well, 50, I'll give you 50 Reichsmarks as my wish, so don't refuse any more."

The mentality of not wanting to get paid in the first place can actually be used as well, and it can actually achieve the goal along this meaning.

In the same way, slowly hinting at her that I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, and now I feel guilty thinking about it, it's not because of you that I want to pay you.

It's just that I feel that doing this will give me peace of mind.

Nalia, you have to accept it or not.

"Then, in that case, I understand...thank you?"

After looking at Moral with his nimble eyeballs, he finally had no intention of rejecting me.

Hmph, Lin Man, you are really talented.

It only cost 50 Reichsmarks to buy a right-hand man.

"No, we want to thank you."

Sometimes people tend to do things against their conscience in order to achieve some goals, but in the end as long as it can create a win-win situation, you also know...

A sage has a conscience, but I don't.

But at least on the surface, well, I'm still a nice guy... right?

"Okay, it's getting late today, everyone should rest earlier..."

It's useless to think about these things any more. Since I have chosen Nalia as my partner, I don't want to use such tricks on her in the future.

"By the way, Lin Man, I saw a publicity on the way back. It seems that there will be a special market in the Green Market in the middle of the black market tomorrow. How about it? Do you want to go and see it tomorrow?"

Moral turned around, smiled at Nalia who was holding the money, and then looked at me.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Green Bazaar, I haven't paid special attention to the name, but the special bazaar sounds quite attractive.

"Are there promotional materials?"

This should be similar to going to the market, right?

If you can know more information, maybe you can find some useful things from it, right?
"Well, I just saw the poster on the wall, and I didn't pay much attention to other information."

"Well, I see, let's talk about this tomorrow."

It's better to take a bath first, and then have a good night's sleep.

"If there's nothing else, should I take a shower first?"

Before they have the desire to take a bath, I will be the first to run in and maybe I can take a longer bath!

"You go, I'll chat with Nalia for a while, just to ask you what happened today."

Oh, I think you guys want to take the opportunity to post more posts in front of Nalia, right?

Hmph, that's all, taking a bath is important~

As for the market tomorrow, do you want to go...

"Swipe~"

The warm water mist sprayed from the spray above, which should be quite a pleasant thing, but for some reason, I suddenly felt quite uncomfortable in my heart.

Is it because of Nalia?
No, this feeling of depression is like something has been forgotten, but I always feel that this matter may have more serious consequences.

What will happen?

today?Or was it yesterday?

If it is today, starting from entering the inclined alley as a node, and recalling forward... is there nothing wrong?
After the node is the transaction with Black Falcon, could it be that there are any details in the transaction process that I have missed?
Or was it yesterday?
Gee!
What's going on!
Ever since I entered Central City, I have been feeling in a trance. What caused it?

Just like walking on a winding mountain path, when you look down at this moment, you can see the sand and stones at your feet rolling down the mountain stream without a trace.

Slowly, the path in front of you is getting narrower and narrower, even making it impossible for you to step down.

Just when you want to go back the same way, you turn around and find that the scene behind you has disappeared without knowing it, leaving only the endless abyss and the constant attempts to push you down from the only foothold. Howling wind.

If there is nothing missing, what is the reason for the feeling of falling into the abyss?
"When, when!"

The untimely knock on the door woke me up from memory, while the warm water was pouring over my head, and the water droplets continued to slide down my cheeks.

"Lin Man, haven't you washed yet?"

Moral.

Yes, how long have I been washing?

"Sorry, I'll be right out!"

But after I was woken up by Moral, the restless feeling slowly fell silent again, and finally disappeared.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

It suddenly occurred to me that because I was blown through by the cold wind, I seemed to be the first person to ask for a bath.

I didn't control it well for a while, but it took so long.

In other words, Moral and Nalia are still waiting in the room...

"Could it be that you fell asleep while washing in it?"

Moral smiled helplessly at me, while Nalia looked at me slightly worried.

"It's almost there, I'm really tired today."

Right now, let's just follow their ideas, and I'm not in the mood to find other excuses.

As for directly saying what I think?
They won't believe it either?
Sudden ominous premonition or something, it sounds like I deliberately made up a bad excuse for taking up everyone's time, right?
Well, what is going on?
"Then you can rest quickly."

The voice disappeared, and there was the sound of rushing water in the compartment.

"Haah~"

I hope tomorrow will be another day full of hope...
