Fake Ancient God

"I'm worried about something."

"for example?"

"For example? For example, I haven't eaten for two days. For example, I have no one to rely on. For example, just now, I had the idea of ​​saying goodbye to this world."

"It's better not to do that, the underworld is very cold."

"Haha, what a weird little girl. I don't know why I would reveal my sorrow to a child, but I will seriously consider your words."

The above is the conversation between Nancy and the down-and-out man.

Seeing that Nancy seemed to be interested in this passer-by, Nie Yuan slowed down a little and let her radiate her curiosity.

"That's good. The grief will always pass. I have experience in this area. Now I am very happy. I am very happy every day."

"I think you're right, little girl. Although your words are weird, I can tell that you are well-mannered, and your family should be in good condition. There is a wealthy area in front of you, so you are the residents inside, right? ?"

Saying that, the desolate man slowly stood up and politely nodded to Nie Yuan.

An awkward feeling came up, but Nie Yuan still replied, "No, we're just here to work."

"Do you work? Which store are you employees? Besides, do you need to bring children with you to work?"

"I can't answer that, but if you don't have anything else to do, leave it alone, my friend."

Nie Yuan replied like this. He definitely couldn't tell the truth. The relationship between Earl Lilian and Buck's Bookstore was always in the shadows.

That down-and-out man, but vaguely, straddled Nie Yuan's path, saying:

"Just now, the little girl asked me to seriously think about it. Don't be in such a hurry to go to the underworld. I think what she said is very reasonable. After thinking about it clearly, I decided to get back on my feet."

"That's congratulations to you, so can you let it go?"

"Of course, but sir, have you noticed that there is no one on this trail now?"

Nie Yuan looked back and found that except for a few sporadic figures at the entrance of the alley, the surroundings were indeed very deserted.

"so what?"

"So can you lend me ten silver coins, thank you, I'm so hungry."

Saying that, the man's eyes were innocent, he took out a rusty dagger from his clothes and pointed it directly at Nie Yuan.

Nie Yuan looked at the tetanus blade and was a little stunned for a while.

He was not frightened. After all, he had seen the projection of the ancient gods and the prosperous face of Mrs. Auston, so where did he go?

Just now, when this down-and-out man stopped in front of them, Nie Yuan had already noticed a strange smell, so he was still a little mentally prepared at the moment.

The reason he was stunned was that a strong sense of sight suddenly appeared in his mind.

Robbery?

I was really robbed?

At that time, the nonsensical question asked to the yellow paper called "Truth Handwriting" came to mind.

Coincidence or what?

I only mentioned the word "robbery" when I went out, and it didn't take long for it to come true.

So at this moment, has the yellow paper caught in the book changed?

Is it because I asked it such a question that it encountered the scene in front of me in the dark?

Although Nie Yuan was stunned for a moment because of the full sense of sight, instinctively, he still took a half step forward and tried to use his body to keep Nancy Cutie behind him.

Brother, you should protect your sister from the wind and rain, and withstand disasters.

But in the next instant, Nie Yuan immediately reacted.

No, this is.

Now I am the weak one!

How could Nancy use me to protect her?

The character is wrong!

Thinking like this, Nie Yuan took Nancy out of his back and blocked him in front of him under the astonished gaze of the down-and-out robber.

This move was very embarrassing, and Nie Yuan felt embarrassed. After all, Nancy's cute and immature appearance didn't seem like she should shield herself from the wind and rain as an adult.

So while blocking Nancy in front of him, Nie Yuan couldn't help but explain:

"I don't have my master key."

If talking about this scene, it just made the robbers look dumbfounded.

In the next scene, the robber and Nie Yuan were both dumbfounded.

Nancy, who was used as a human-shaped shield, didn't get violent as Nie Yuan had imagined. She rushed up and used her tender hands to scratch the robber's ears, and then went forward to educate him. One can't be so ignorant of martial arts.

If you don't talk about martial arts, isn't that the same as Mrs. Auston?

If I carry the master key with me, it will give you two strokes on the forehead.

The results of it.

As a result, Nancy not only did not burst out, but looked at the down-and-out robber with sympathy. The tetanus blade hanging over her head did not make her feel any threat.

Nancy looked at the bewildered robber with pity, then turned her head and said to Nie Yuan:

"Nie Yuan, he is really, really too, too, too pitiful!"

"Losing the world and life, being lonely and helpless..."

"Thanks to my words, he got back on his feet."

"But I haven't eaten for two days, I'm hungry, and I have to go out and do such a risky job to make a living."

"What a pitiful person abandoned by the world!"

"Well, I still have some money here. I'll give it to you. Remember to change to a less risky job when you're full."

The desolate robber took the handful of silver coins handed over by Nancy in a daze, and took back the tetanus blade in a daze. He couldn't help but bow and stammer:

"Thank you, thank you."

Nancy said sympathetically, "It's really polite, don't thank me, just live."

"Okay, okay!"

Looking at the robber who had regained his confidence in life, he quickly turned the corner and disappeared.

Nie Yuan stupidly lowered his head and looked at Nancy.

For a while, he couldn't speak at all.

This time, he had a new understanding of his companions, especially Nancy's strange three views that were completely different from the whole world.

When someone handed you a knife, how could you still be in the mood to take care of his pity?

In your eyes, robbery is just a risky job?

Taking the money you gave, bowing to you and saying thank you, can you conclude that the robber is polite?

O~My dear Nancy, little cutie.

You shouldn't be called the God of Destruction.

You are the Virgin Mary alive.

It is the embodiment of kindness and kindness.

It is the **** of goodness that the Buddha would be ashamed of when he saw it!

Just like you, you still pretend to be vicious, cruel, dark, dangerous, and crazy?

The most terrifying monster?

I really believed it at the time!

"What's wrong?" Nancy said in surprise, tilting her head.

"It's nothing, I just have some emotions in my heart."

"Aren't you heartless?"

"Yeah, so it's just an illusion. Let's go, Earl Lilian is still waiting for us."

"Okay!"

The two left across the path.

Nie Yuan felt indescribable.

He considered it to be loose money, and it wasn't his own money anyway.

If, after returning home, he discovers the robber, and really allows himself to find clues to the handwriting of the truth, then it will be considered "value for money".

If you still have no clue, this is purely a coincidence. If you find out that guy is still doing this kind of "riskier" work, then there is nothing to say.

In the Ruian City controlled by Earl Lilian, as long as you speak your own words, it is not difficult to catch a little thief.

The two came to the pawnshop with a secret passage below.

The pawnshop owner knew them, and after a few exchanges, he opened the secret channel and asked them to go to Earl Lilian to submit the documents.

At the end of the road, there is still the underground hall.

But this time, Earl Lilian did not wait for them here. Instead, a courtier sensed the movement of the secret passage and walked out from the corridor of the main hall, looked at them, and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"Submit the paperwork."

"Okay, come with me."

After he finished speaking, he led Nie Yuan and Nancy directly, walked through the corridor, came to the surface space, walked up a majestic, curved staircase with a golden-rimmed red carpet, and walked towards the second floor.

Nie Yuan stepped on the luxurious carpet, his palms caressed the polished wooden handrails with delicate totems and waxed surfaces, feeling very smooth.

This texture, this decoration, this style, should you just break a small piece of wood and carve it out, so that you and Nancy can "return to the original", right?

Ten silver coins are enough for a family of five to live prosperously for a month.

But when he entered Count Lilian's daily life in the castle above ground, Nie Yuan didn't seem to be able to take down ten silver coins, even if it was just a random small object carved out of the hollow under the handrail of the stairs.

The splendid and luxurious scene around him made Nie Yuan seem to be meeting the king, not a count.

Maybe he really didn't know.

In his eyes, this scene is exactly the same as in the previous life movies, where the director deliberately illuminated the luxurious furnishings in the camera to set off the luxurious life of the nobles.

All the objects, whether it is the floor or the wall, or the mural and the stair railing, are as if they are really shining.

It's not dazzling, but invisibly, it really gives people an unspeakable shock.

This should be the strangeness of another world.

After all, the handrails of the stairs don't matter, it can be regarded as the luster created by waxing, but there is no way to wax the walls.

This sense of splendor is definitely not what an object should look like.

For the upper-level nobles, they can come into contact with some strange powers, and it may be that they really use some kind of power to shape everything around them to be so shocking.

There was clearly no light source in the dark passage at the time of arrival, but those obscure runes could make the slate emit fluorescence as well.

It's just that at night, it should be quiet here, right?

After all, there should be no nobles who want to wake up at night and have to face such a glimmer of light, then it is not splendid, but the special effects of the underworld.

Following the stairs, all the way to the second floor, the courtier led the two of them to a brown front door, and bowed slightly, one hand behind his back, and the other hand made a "please" to the two of them. gesture.

Nie Yuan didn't suspect him either, so he went up and knocked on the door "bang bang bang".

"Anyone? Lillian?"

At this moment, Nie Yuan saw that the courtier's expression seemed a little stiff.

He realized that he was a little rude.

When I knocked on the door just now, as if I was rushing home to cook dinner, I patted it with my palm. Although it was not strong, it still caused a slight echo in the empty castle.

It was very different from the way Buck entered the dining room door of the city master of Auston that day, tapped with two fingers, put his head close to the door, and asked in a slow voice.

But how do I know these etiquette, the twists and turns in the noble circle, it seems that I can't learn it myself.

"Nie Yuan? Come in."

The voice of Earl Lilian came from inside the house.

When Nie Yuan heard the words, he pushed open the door and entered.

I saw Count Lilian today, dressed very smartly, in a beige riding suit, with long blond hair tightly tied behind his head, light makeup and elegant, valiant.

Sitting behind a heavy wooden desk, two legs in equestrian boots were folded together and exposed from under the desk.

In her hand, she was still playing with a small object. Seeing Nie Yuan leading Nancy in with a teasing smile, she said:

"A very powerful knock on the door. It's the first time I've heard someone be so... presumptuous?"

Although Nie Yuan wasn't too embarrassed, he had to maintain his image. For the time being, he was relying on his acting skills.

With deep eyes, he raised his eyes and glanced at Count Lilian, and said lightly:

"This is very familiar. It seems that the city lord of Auston said the same last night, but his door can't be closed."

Not lying.

Although what the city lord of Auston said last night was to Gustav, the humanoid hammer.

But I still have output anyway, the door locks were all smashed by my master key.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the momentum was suddenly pulled up.

The teasing smile at the corner of Earl Lilian's mouth instantly subsided, and the folded legs under the desk were also retracted, leaning forward, approaching Nie Yuan and said:

"There's a stool there, sit down. Can you tell me what's going on at Lord Auston's place? Also, have you got the paperwork?"

Nie Yuan picked up little Nancy and put it on the stool next to him, but he didn't sit down. He walked slowly to the desk and said:

"The situation is very complicated, we can't solve the problem there temporarily, it takes a few days to prepare, and your subordinates have also been found, but the state is not very optimistic, and it has been infected by something.

As for the documents, I made a special trip to give you this thing. "

With that said, Nie Yuan took out the envelope containing the documents from the inner pocket of his clothes, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Earl Lilian with his fingertips.

Earl Lillian didn't immediately ask about the situation of Auston Castle, but instead focused on the document that had been unsealed.

Putting the small objects in her hands aside, she picked up the envelope and took out the documents inside, while looking at Nie Yuan with a half-smile, saying:

"Why was it opened?"

"When we got it, it looked like this. It should have been made by the Lord of Auston."

"It makes sense. In that state, it's normal for him to open it and look at it, but... you didn't peek at it, did you?"

In Nie Yuan's opinion, Earl Lilian's expression was exactly the same as that of the robber just now. He was staring at him with big eyes.

Nie Yuan immediately denied it and said, "Of course I haven't seen it. This is the professional ethics we should have."

"Really?"

"You're doubting me? Of course it's true."

"I don't want to doubt you Nie Yuan, you're just a normal person. It's hard to hold back that curiosity. It's been opened anyway, right?"

"I swear by my conscience."

Earl Lilian looked at Nie Yuan, who was so confident, then laughed and said, "Then I hope you have a conscience, Nie Yuan."

No longer entangled in this topic, Lillian lowered her head and opened the folded gilt document, quietly reading the contents above.

Nie Yuan, who pretended to be indifferent, muttered to himself, I also think I have a conscience.

This is a hardware gap, not something I can change if I want to.

There was still no timidity on his face. Taking advantage of Count Lilian's reading of the documents, Nie Yuan even picked up the small object that she had put aside on the desk to play with.

Earl Lilian and the courtier standing in the shadow behind her moved their eyes slightly.

But he didn't say much. He just thought that Nie Yuan had never seen this kind of novelty gadgets that became popular recently in Wangcheng.

They never imagined that Nie Yuan had not only seen this thing, but also played it many years ago.

When I entered the door just now, I was surprised, why is Earl Lilian still interested in the Rubik's Cube.

When I walked into the desk, I realized that the Rubik's Cube should be a very rare object in this world.

Because Nie Yuan also visited the grocery store in Ruian City, and did not find the existence of this thing in the store.

Moreover, the workmanship of Earl Lillian's Rubik's Cube is also very delicate, and it can even be called luxurious. There are gems of different colors on it to divide the color of each side, and the frame is also a very textured metal material.

The most important thing is that Earl Lilian is obviously a rookie.

The other sides are completely messy, which is almost the norm for chickens.

Saying that Lilian is a rookie, it is not that Nie Yuan is really a player with amazing IQ and talent.

It is the Rubik's Cube of the previous life, which has completely derived a mature circle, and has also sorted out many formulas that can be quickly restored.

Even an ordinary passer-by, let him spend a day to study and memorize those formulas, and he can easily restore the Rubik's Cube in one minute.

Precisely because of the existence of the formula, the third-order Rubik's Cube is actually faster than the hand when it goes to the back. Some of the hand speed is fast, and it can be restored in a few seconds. Even if you are blindfolded, it is still a matter of ten seconds.

Coincidentally, when Nie Yuan was in middle school, he had nothing to do in class, and he also recited those formulas.

After getting acquainted with him, even if he knew that he was a handicapped party, he could always show his hand in front of the little whites who didn't know the formula, and then shamelessly called himself a "high IQ player".

After reading the document from beginning to end, Earl Lillian folded it, put it back into the envelope, and then looked up and said:

"You said just now that you can take that and infect my subordinates and the Lord of Auston into monsters, right?"

"Yes." Nie Yuan raised his eyes and responded.

"Then leave it to you. I should be able to hide the church for a while. You must erase the source of infection from the Auston Castle before this matter is exposed, because once the church intervenes, no matter what Auston is. Whether the city lord and my subordinates can return to normal will fall into their hands, it is difficult for me to intervene in name, and there may be a lot of troubles during the period."

"No problem, then can we talk about compensation?"

Nie Yuan raised his head and smiled at Earl Lilian. As he spoke, he put the Rubik's cube in his hand back to its original position.

Earl Lilian glanced at the Rubik's Cube, and was about to speak, when suddenly, his expression changed from a serious discussion to an unbelievable shock.

She lowered her head and stared blankly at the Rubik's Cube that had all its sides assembled. She picked it up, looked up and down, left and right, and after confirming that it was really completely assembled, she used three slender fingers. Holding the Rubik's Cube, he shook it towards Nie Yuan and said:

"You... finished it? In such a short time?"

Nie Yuan said with a look of surprise: "Is something wrong?"

Earl Lilian paused for a while, then put down the Rubik's Cube in his hand, put his hands on the desk, looked at Nie Yuan with burning eyes, and said, "How can you know everything?"

I know shit!

She only speaks a few native languages ​​and has received basic compulsory education.

When I came, I had already made up my mind that as long as you asked me complicated questions or wanted to exchange so-called ancient knowledge, I would avoid talking, change the subject, and ignore you.

I'm really, really, really don't want to pretend, and I don't have the strength to pretend.

But you didn't send the force to the door and let me pretend!

It's not that I know everything or understand everything, it's just that you always bump into what I'm good at.

Before I met you, I didn't even know I was so talented!

So well-informed, knowledgeable, and intelligent!

Nie Yuan just said the truth in a frivolous manner: "I'm just an ordinary man who lacks knowledge to the extreme. It's you who always likes to imagine things, Lillian."

This word came out of his mouth, and all those who knew him would not believe it.

The magnetic voice, the understated tone, complemented by the dark and deep temperament, it is inevitable that people will look up to the mountains and stop at its profound background.

Earl Lilian put his hands together, rested his head on the back of his palms, tilted his head and looked at Nie Yuan, his eyes full of exploration, and said:

"If you are ordinary or even stupid, then what about me, what am I?

This gadget is a popular thing in Wangcheng recently. Its creators say that it is something that can exercise and verify IQ. It is difficult for him to restore a completely disordered Rubik's cube.

I started it two days ago. After disrupting it, it took several hours, but I couldn't restore it, and I could only stitch it together.

As for you, just while I was reading the document, you restored everything in a blink of an eye.

Are you mocking my IQ, Nie Yuan?

Or, are you fooling me like a little girl? "

Before Nie Yuan could speak, Nancy, who was sitting on a chair with her little feet swaying unceasingly, made up her mind and said:

"You can't fool the little girl~ I've always known that Nie Yuan is a very different person, he's amazing!"

Earl Lilian greeted Nancy with a smile, then looked at Nie Yuan and said:

"Look, even a little girl can't fool me. Do you really think I'm so stupid? Instead, I think I'm pretty smart. Of course, I'm comparing myself to other people, not you."

Nie Yuan really didn't know how to continue with these words, so he could only change the subject lightly, saying:

"Let's talk about compensation."

Earl Lillian gave Nie Yuan a pretentious look, and said, "Don't you know how much debt Buck owes me? I think it was just that sum of money last time, plus the 'biomechanical energy core he entrusted me with' ', enough to be worth the reward of erasing a source of infection.

Although it is still a bit premium, you should know that a 'bio-mechanical energy core', what kind of energy is contained in it, that is, once it explodes, there will be no surviving terrifying things within a radius of 30 meters.

To keep this kind of thing in a stable state and transport it all the way from the king's city, it will cost a lot of money.

So, the remuneration, I think, is more than enough.

but…

If you are really short of money, you can move out of Buck's Bookstore and live with me. I really lack a personal assistant with sufficient knowledge, and the pay is absolutely generous. What do you think? "

"I think the reward is indeed more than enough."

Answering this, Nie Yuan was muttering to himself, that is not the source of infection you thought, but a source of disaster at a higher level.

Although it is only a primary source of disaster, the two are completely different things. Your rewards don't sound like enough.

But Buck said that for the time being, Earl Lillian cannot be made aware of the serious threat from Buck's Bookstore, so that she thinks that she can still control the situation, continue to use Buck's Bookstore, and maintain the relationship with her collaborators.

Otherwise, there may be problems.

Once it was discovered that this group of people had the power to erase the source of the disaster, it would be easy for Lillian to perceive the threat and have a sense of vigilance towards herself and others, making it difficult to carry out the next cooperation.

So Nie Yuan still tacitly agreed that what Lillian said, what occupied Auston Castle, was the speculation and rhetoric of the source of infection.

In addition, he also heard more things from Lilian's words.

It turns out that the [Bio-Mechanical Energy Core] that Buck entrusted her to deliver has that much energy.

Once out of control, will no creature within a radius of 30 meters survive?

Nie Yuan knew that Buck asked for this thing in order to build a heart for himself.

And, it's just the raw material for making the heart.

The key material is Mrs. Allston, the source of the disaster.

Since the energy of the material is so large, it is completely enough to fry itself to ashes.

If a complete heart is placed in one's chest cavity, then...

Can you bear it?

Wouldn't he be instantly smashed into tens of thousands of pieces by such a tyrannical energy?

Not being able to think deeply, Earl Lilian spoke up.

With a very resentful tone, he said, "It's really inhumane, you are the person who rejected me the most times in the history of Ruian City, Nie Yuan. In a sense, you can be proud enough.

Because of the city lord of Auston, he only rejected me twice, and then there is no third chance. "

Nie Yuan said noncommittally: "So this matter is settled, at the cost of erasing the source of infection, Mrs. Allston, to settle the debt Buck owed to you last time, we will resolve it as soon as possible.

If there is nothing to do, then I will leave, and I will go to church to worship later. "

Earl Lillian nodded and said, "If it wasn't for my appointment in the afternoon, I would go hunting with Sir Hughes and the others, and I would have you stay for dinner and have an in-depth discussion.

Wait for two days. Wait for two days for the alchemy materials Buck needs to arrive. I will have someone deliver it to you, and then I will invite you to come and talk about it.

Don't open your mouth to refuse, don't allow it, UU reading www. uukanshu.com At least today, your chances are running out.

Besides... which **** do you believe in? "

First, he overbearingly blocked Nie Yuan's refusal, and then Earl Lilian became curious about the **** Nie Yuan believed in.

Leaving from here, and going to church later, it seems that Nie Yuan is relatively devout.

"The **** of power."

Nie Yuan didn't blushed or panted, and replied, "Power is the romance of men, no, power, it should be the romance of all living beings."

"Power, is a man's romance?"

Earl Lilian chewed on this sentence carefully, and smiled: "A casual sentence is full of beautiful deep meaning, as expected of you Nie Yuan, so let's stop here today, wait for me to invite you in two days, you must, must come."

Nie Yuan still gave Earl Lilian a lot of face, saying that he had already used up the opportunity to refuse today, so he should consider it as he has used up.

He didn't answer directly, but pulled Nancy out of the chair and said seriously, "I forgot something just now."

"What's the matter?" Earl Lilian asked in confusion.

"Reimburse us with ten silver coins. The ones you used on the way to deliver the documents to you just now should be considered labor expenses."

"You came in a carriage? The carriage cost less than ten silver coins."

"no."

"what is that?"

"I'm embarrassed to say that you can pay for it, I won't lie to you."

"...Well, then I'll give you this Rubik's cube. Next time I want you to teach me how to restore this thing."

"No, I want ten silver coins."

"But it's worth three gold coins."

"Bring it."

"what?"

"gone."
