92. Domingo
"Haha, it's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable walking alone in this forest, if you don't mind, I can pay you a hundred green spirit crystals, of course, including this Mr. Jonas, presumably, in this case, you will be much more comfortable to see me." Li Yi always maintained a polite smile, he took out two banknotes with a denomination of one hundred green spirit crystals from his coat pocket and handed them to Aldana.
"One hundred green spirit crystals!" The aristocratic boy was frightened by Li Yi's magnanimity, the expenses he provided by his family every month were twenty green spirit crystals, this turquoise banknote was a hard currency issued by the Sky Academy, and it could be exchanged immediately at any subordinate institution of the Sky Academy, which was equivalent to half a year's living expenses, which made it difficult for him to choose all of a sudden, if Li Yi was allowed to join them, would his usual prestige be damaged? If he went to the Red Rock City-State, of course, it would be nothing, but here, among Valentino's students, he was the absolute king, and this hesitation certainly fell into Li Yi's eyes.
"Oh, you don't have to worry that I won't assign you or drive you to do anything, I like to be quiet and undisturbed, you can ignore me, don't talk to me, go about your business, just as if I didn't exist." Li Yi's words dispelled the other party's hesitation.
"Okay, deal! You pay a hundred green spirit crystals, and I will allow you to follow my team. "The deal was a success.
"Then you guys go ahead and play this slap game! I won't bother anymore. Li Yi raised his hand and said.
Those teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, they all lost interest in slapping the big-nosed teenagers, so this strange combination hit the road again.
"Jonas, you say, what is the origin of that man? Is he really a student at Sky Academy? The Red Rock City-State is thousands of miles away, what is he doing here? Thin Face quietly discussed with another nobleman, they thought that if they lowered their voices, they could make the other party unable to hear, but in fact, Li Yi didn't bother to listen to them at all, this team of explorers, Alger could kill them all with a snap of his fingers.
"Hmph, who knows? But it's so generous, because it should be almost the same, it's so arrogant, I really want to kill him here! Jonas squinted with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Don't do stupid things, even the family will be affected at that time, you don't know what those big forces are doing, and you don't care about us medium forces, and you will kill them at will."
Li Yi hung slowly at the end of everyone, the big-nosed boy made him very interested, why this person has the talent of an explorer, but his wrists have traces of often doing heavy work, and his clothes are in tatters, even the lowest-level white-level explorers will not be treated like this.
Li Yi's gaze made the big nose hairy in his heart, his almost beastly instinct was much sharper than those aristocratic teenagers who were bewitched by the sound of dogs and horses, he had seen a description of the devil in a book, the book said that the most evil demons are often the most polite, they have the power to destroy everything, but do not use it, but use interlocking conspiracies to make their prey fall into the abyss. If there is a devil in the world, then this young man from the Sky Academy must be one, those eyes that make him suffocate with fear, it is terrible, but this demon still has a gentle smile on his face that is harmless to humans and animals.
The big nose lowered his head, his back was covered with cold sweat, he was completely overwhelmed, this kind of cold observation hiding in the shadows scared him more than directly beating and insulting him, it was like being targeted by a poisonous snake.
"You seem to be scared of me, I don't mean to hurt you, tell me your name." Li Yi was very puzzled, why should this big nose be afraid of him as a stranger, and when those teenagers beat him, he didn't show such a look.
"My name is Domingo." The big nose glanced at Li Yi cautiously, and his heart trembled.
"Okay, friend Domingo, it turns out that you are not dumb, I have a habit of trying to figure out something I don't understand, don't you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
"Ugh!" Domingo, frightened, couldn't help but burp loudly, his voice was too loud, provoking Jonas in front of him to come over and kick him hard in his lower abdomen, this sturdy and fleshy aristocratic young man was very strong, plus he was wearing mountaineering spikes, and the poor big nose immediately squatted down with his stomach covered, and his face was red like a boiled shrimp.
"If you make a strange noise again, I'll kill you, what I said is true, don't think I haven't killed anyone, last time a black slave broke my beloved cup and spilled cream on my clothes, you know, that dress was made by Master Fry, it was completely ruined, I hung that black man up and smoked until he ran out of breath, although you are an explorer, but you can't contract any spirits, and those untouchables are no different, I will beat you to death, and the academy will not punish me." He had a fierce look on his face, and there was a faint murderous aura on his face, and it seemed that everything he said was true.
Waiting for Jonas to leave, Li Yi smiled again and asked the big-nosed Domingo, "He said he was going to beat you to death, alive, you know?" Most of the causes of death from beatings are extensive contusions to soft tissues, massive internal bleeding, or organ rupture, or artery tears, anyway, it's very miserable, I don't say this to scare you, but I think it's clear that you should die, am I talking a little too much? ”
"You, spare me!" Domingo's face turned the color of pig liver, and he couldn't stand the intimidation.
"Well, it seems that your heart can't bear it, so let's talk about something else, like why you can't contract with the spirit, can you tell me why? If you keep silent, I wouldn't mind paying another hundred Green Spirit Crystals for you to speak, and of course, this money is Mr. Jonas's intermediary fee. ”
"I, I don't know, after I was found to have the talent of an explorer, I was sent to Valentino to study, the first spirit I contracted was the fire-based Satres species, but, I failed in the process of blood contract, this spirit is not a particularly good qualification, it can only be regarded as average - this caused the academy to be puzzled, the result of their research is that my spiritual perception is so low that even the spirit of the garbage qualification is unwilling to contract with me, alas, I am not blessed to be an explorer, and I am not very disappointed, But the spirit died after the deed, poor little fellow, it was sponsored by the academy to me, and it needed five hundred white spirit crystals, but I was born in a mill, my father and mother were both mill workers, and the family raised a cow, a house, a cow and a thin field, which was the whole property of my family, and the academy was kind, let me study there, and earn back five hundred spirit crystals, if, before I graduated, I could not pay the money, then according to the law, either cut the same volume of meat from me, or become a slave. He explained.
"Oh, I see, although you are a waste, you are optimistic, tell me, how much money have you saved?" Li Yi asked him quietly.
"It's only forty-eight white spirit crystals."
"So, how many years do you have left to graduate from the academy?" Li Yi suddenly thought of something very interesting, and he asked Domingo.
"Three years to go." The face of the big nose stiffened, his brows were tightened, he had crow's feet at a young age, his hands were completely ruined because he had done too much heavy work, and the excessively thick and deformed joints meant that he had nothing to do with the elegant arts of painting and music in his life, and his hands trembled uncontrollably like a late Parkinson's patient, half of the six years of life in the academy had passed, and he had only saved forty-eight white spirit crystals, which meant that in another three years, he would either become a slave to be trampled on, or he would be cut off with the same amount of flesh to die, pay attention, According to the laws of the city-state, the arrears of the finances should be converted into gold, and as much volume of gold as there is to cut off as much volume of flesh, five hundred white spirit crystals can be exchanged for a warehouse of gold, that is to say, it is not enough to chop his whole body into minced meat.
"It seems that your fate has been fixed in three years, either die in agony, or, live a life driven by people, or, you just kill yourself, this is a good choice, haha!" Li Yi couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"You" Domingo closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"I know, you are afraid every day and night, but when you wake up, you are one step closer to that day, so cruel, little by little you are pushed into the boundless abyss, in comparison, those insults, beatings and scolding are insignificant in your eyes, you are tortured, but you have no choice but to be helpless, sometimes you will deceive yourself, fantasizing that if your talent as an explorer is not discovered, now you can also rely on your hard work in exchange for food, live an ordinary life, marry a beautiful country girl, although not as beautiful as the explorer, But there is no danger, and he lives a peaceful life. Li Yi slowly narrated, this is what he guessed, the other party's inner world.
The ugly-looking boy cried bitterly, and he covered his mouth with cuffs sewn from rags, trying not to let the fools hear him, otherwise he would be beaten for no reason.
"Domingo, to be honest, I've been through it before, so I understand you very well and sympathize with you. However, I have a principle, I don't help others for no reason, everything has a reason, and I also hate people who don't work for nothing," Li Yi touched his nose, forced a smile, and continued: "I can help you, do you see those who insult you?" I don't think they like it either, that Jonas actually has murderous intent on me! Hmph, you help me kill these people, not only the two bills of one hundred green spirit crystals are yours, but I will also pay you an additional five hundred white spirit crystals, as for the consequences of killing, you don't have to worry about it at all, I will explain to Valentino Academy that I killed them. Alas, these people are ignorant and cruel, oppressing the weak, how bad, you have also heard, the story of the man named Jonas who killed black slaves at will and disregarded human life, how cruel, just kill such a person You shouldn't have any pressure in your heart, right? ”
"But what about the others? They are innocent! Domingo was struggling in his heart, the boy in front of him was really a bloodthirsty devil, offering such tempting conditions, his sweat had soaked his clothes, if he agreed, he knew that Li Yi would definitely let him kill those people smoothly, and the academy would not pursue it, and he could get a large sum of money, not only could he pay off his debts, be exempt from punishment, but also become extremely rich, but his conscience did not let him do this.
"Someone else? You've killed one of them, and you can't stop it! If you don't kill the others, how can the academy believe that I killed them? Li Yi giggled, "If you want to change your miserable fate, you must trample on the blood and lives of others, and then think about their abuse of you, how inhumane, treating you as a beast that can be insulted at will, and will not resist, don't you want to see their fear and ugliness in the face of death?" Slowly cut their flesh and skin, let the blood as bright as gems flow into a stream, stain the leaves and moss, and flow from the stone steps one step higher, what a thrill of revenge? Don't you want to try it? What are you waiting for? Timidity what? ”
"Isn't there a better way? Do you have to kill? Every life is cherished, how can you decide the life and death of others so casually? It's cruel! Domingo still didn't agree, he also tried to persuade Li Yi: "Please help me, I will save this money for the rest of my life, and I will definitely be able to pay it back to you!" ”
"Humph! What a joke, why don't you open your mouth to borrow money from Jonas, Aldana? They are all the lives you cherish, the lives you want to protect, haha, they don't bother to lend you money at all, your existence insults their vision, your words and deeds, your poverty, your weakness, your ugly big nose are all the reasons why these people hate you, they won't lend you money, watching you fall into the bottomless abyss, your life is not as good as a wild dog in their eyes, if you die, you will die, maybe you think that people like you should become slaves, Or tied to a stake and chopped. And you're worried about their lives, it's incredible, is that your kindness? Or is it your great personality? No, of course not, you are just afraid of killing, afraid of the dissipation of life, these people even if they all have a damn reason you don't dare to kill them, because your cowardice and incompetence make you fear blood more than you have faith in justice, this is a kind of disguised kindness, you identify the inaction of the wicked as good, you endure and deceive yourself again and again, and then survive the insults, the repeated insults make you completely lose the last bit of self-esteem, you are numb, you just want to live for a long time. Li Yi's words were heart-wrenching, like a red-hot needle piercing his heart!
"You demon, don't say it! Don't say it, please, let me go! Domingo thought these words were too cruel, and turned the whole thing he didn't want to face in front of him, and forced him to open his eyes, and he gasped loudly as if he were drowning.
"Ha, I'm a demon? This description is very inappropriate, the devil leads people astray, makes those who are good at heart unlucky, and makes the wicked arrogant, but I am the complete opposite, you do not appreciate it, you are afraid of the death of others, and you deceive yourself with some hypocritical feelings, how foolish? If you think about it again, I will create a perfect opportunity for you to kill them, and then you will have a lot of money, with money, you can take your parents to settle in the big city-state and marry an explorer's wife, then according to the law of genetics, your child must be an explorer, and the rest of this money can allow your child to receive an education, buy high-quality spirits, enough for him to become a blue-level explorer, such a beautiful prospect is in front of you, it is simply within reach, as long as you uphold the belief that the wicked will be punished, Kill these cold-blooded and ignorant teenagers, and I'll give you everything you need! Li Yi was very satisfied with his words.
