Volume 1 The Chili Sauce Smuggler Won't Meet the Waste Witch Chapter 56 Life for Life
Hearing this piece of information added by Aniah, the Duchess wondered, "Pay the price with your life...... What is the meaning? ”
Ania explained for those present: "Atra is a highly poisonous fruit that covers the skin. The fruit cannot be picked by any other means, only by touching it with human hands. But the moment it touches the fruit, all the poison melts into the picker's body, and the picker dies of poisoning. The fruit of Atra will use this to absorb energy from the deceased to grow, which is the sowing method of Atra. ”
The Duchess then asked, "How can we then pluck the fruit?" ”
If you take it off, you'll die, so isn't there no way to take it off? Zhen Xiang couldn't think of any other way, she also looked at Ania curiously, since Ania had said about this Atra fruit, there would definitely be a way to pick the fruit, right?
Ania nodded and replied, "Of course - although the fruit of Atra is highly poisonous on the surface, the moment the picker picks it, the poison will be integrated into the picker's body. After that, no matter how much others touch it, there will be no problem, so ...... Duchess, all you need to do is find someone to die with us to go to the Fantasy Island, and then that person will pick the fruit and send it to death, and we will be responsible for recovering the fruit after that guy dies. ”
It is worthy of Ania to come up with such a vicious solution. But maybe that's the only way, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to let Andre and them pick it, right? Ania didn't really like those four guys, but if they died picking the fruit, Eunice would definitely be angry about it.
That's why Ania proposed to let the Duchess find an unwitting person to send the dead with them, and when the time comes, the life of a subordinate will be exchanged for Angelina's life, which is a very good deal.
The Duchess was hesitating, she was hesitating whether to choose a subordinate in the Duke's palace to be sent to death, and exchange the life of a subordinate for the life of her precious daughter......
"What's the matter, Duchess? What are you waiting for? It's a good deal, you only need the life of a subordinate who doesn't need to care, and the most you can do is compensate his family for some money - or even how about you find someone who has no relatives and no reason? When the time comes, you won't have to lose money, or even dispose of the corpses......"
"Miss Aniah." Hobson stopped Ania in time, he didn't expect this Ania to look young, but he was such a vicious person at heart.
Ania then looked at Angelina who was lying on the bed and said, "Miss Angelina's life should be more than twenty days, right?" We're going to leave for Dream Island tomorrow, and we'll probably be back in a day or two. But we won't be going to the island again when we get back, and you'll probably be too late to heal Miss Angelina...... Madame, please think carefully. ”
The Duchess did not think so much about exchanging the lives of her subordinates for the lives of her daughters. But if that happens, Duke Griffin's reputation will be damaged, and even if outsiders don't know about it, how can the servants at home not know? Not to mention...... What's more, the Duchess is a kind person, she usually treats everyone in the family very well, and treats them as if they were her own family. Now for the sake of his own daughter, he has to sacrifice those relatives in another sense......
It seems that there is no way to make up your mind...... There was no way, Ania stood up and said, "It seems that Madame is unwilling, in that case, I ......"
"I'll go ......," said the Duchess, looking up at Ania resolutely, "I'll go with you, and I'll pick the fruit of the Atla...... When the time comes, please be sure to bring back the fruit of Atra. ”
"Madame, no!" The maid next to her hurriedly took the Duchess's hand and said, "Madam, if you can't decide, let me go, I'll pick the fruit of Atla." ”
This guy ...... This maid's name seems to be Blanche, right? I didn't expect this maid to be so loyal to her master, which was really an eye-opener for Aniah.
"Blanche......" The Duchess breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and then she gritted her teeth fiercely, regretting that she was glad to have a substitute for the dead.
At this point, Hobson said, "I'm going to interject...... Why don't you go to His Majesty the King and explain the situation, and then ask His Majesty to find a condemned prisoner? Even...... Isn't there a slave in the duke's house? ”
"Huh?" Everyone in the room was stunned, and then the Duchess scratched her head and said, "Ha...... Ha ha...... Look at my memory, I forgot that there was such a thing...... Blanche, go find a slave and ask him to go to the Neverland with Miss Ania to pick the fruit of Atlas. ”
"Yes, ma'am." So Blanche walked out of the room, apparently really going to find a slave.
Zhen Xiang saw all this in her eyes, and she was a little dazed at this time: "What's the situation?" The servants of their own family can't bear it, so the slaves are willing to give it up? Is there any difference between a slave and a servant? ”
In other words, there are still slaves in this world...... It really is a civilized and backward world.
Only then did the Duchess realize that Hobson had not yet introduced herself to another beautiful but somewhat peculiar girl: "Lord Hobson, who is this?" ”
"This is Miss Aniah's friend, Miss Zhen Xiang. She and the Black Mage are fellow villagers. ”
The Duchess smiled at Zhen Xiang at this time: "Miss Zhen Xiang, the biggest difference between a slave and a servant is that I watch the servants at home work every day, talk to them, and have feelings for each other, so I am reluctant to be a servant." But slaves are different, I never knew how many slaves we had in our family, I didn't know what their ages were, they were strangers to me, so I gave their lives in exchange for my daughter's life. ”
Retracting the preamble, the duchess was not kind......
Ania smiled: "If that's the case, then it's decided." Tomorrow you will send the chosen slave to our dwellings, and then we will take him to the Dream Island to pick the fruits of Atlah......"
Just when everyone thought that the matter was decided like this, Blanche, who had just gone out, suddenly ran back: "Madam! Madame is not good! All the slaves in the house are sick! Go check it out! ”
