Volume 1 The Chili Sauce Smuggler Won't Meet the Waste Witch Chapter 102 Andrei's Past
Being stared at by Zhen Xiang, who was burning with passion, Nimmos was a little uncomfortable and said: "Even if you look at me like this, I won't be able to tell you, if you tell the humans about the last elves, their peaceful life will definitely be broken." ”
Before Zhen Xiang could speak, Andre scoffed at what Nimmos said: "I'm not interested in that kind of thing, even if you beg to tell me." After all, it was the defeat to the humans in the battle back then, so it fell to that point, didn't it? This world is originally a world of the jungle, if you really hate humans to the core, why don't you leave this swamp and kill all the humans outside? ”
What kind of hatred are you messing around? Zhen Xiang is about to go crazy, what is Andre doing when he is saying this at this time? Obviously, they are still alive because Nemos is not interested in them, so he didn't kill them, otherwise with Nemos's strength, he would have killed all the people present.
Zhen Xiang didn't know that the reason why Andre had such a big reaction at this time was simply because he was an atheist - in this human society ruled by the temple, in a world where almost everyone was a believer in the goddess of creation, the existence of Andre, an atheist, was definitely a so-called "heretic".
Andrei's childhood should have been very happy - although he did not have a fixed address, Andre accompanied his father to wander around and make a living as an artist, and he has always lived happily. Andrei's father was a devout believer, so Andrei was also a believer in the goddess as a child. Whenever he went to a city with his father, he would pray in the local temple and donate money to the temple.
"As long as we pray sincerely, the Goddess will surely hear our voice and bless us with a stable life." That's what his father said to Andrei, so Andrei has always believed that the goddess is protecting him.
This life lasted until they arrived in Rollo...... Andre and his son, who were performing in Rollo City, were suddenly captured by a group of Templars who had approached for their performances without the permission of the Bishop.
I had never heard of the need for permission from the Bishop to perform in a city. However, no matter how much he pleaded, Andrei's father could not be forgiven, and in the end all their belongings were confiscated, and the penniless André father and son were thrown out of the temple......
Andre didn't know why, his father was such a devout believer, they had never been stingy with donations to the temple, why was he treated like this by the temple people?
So Andre's father had to look for work in Rolls City, hoping to leave Rolls City after scraping together enough money to buy new performance props.
However, less than a month after Andrew's father found a job moving things, the bishop of the temple forcibly recruited many laborers, including Andrew's father, to expand the temple church.
On the fourth day after his father went to work at the temple, an accident happened—Andrew's father broke his leg from a fallen pillar in order to save a couple who had gone to the temple to pray, and the couple was never saved in the end......
Andrei's father, who lost his legs, only received two gold coins in compensation, obviously there were so many holy magicians in the temple who could treat Andrei's father at that time, but the bishop who happened to be present said this: "The cost of the holy magician's treatment is ten gold coins, for the sake of you being injured while working in the temple...... Eight gold coins will heal you. ”
In the end, Andrei's father, who could no longer work, had to live on the streets and became a beggar, taking Andre, who was more than ten years old at the time, to beg in the city of Rollo to survive.
Andrei is still holding on to expectations, these are just the tests that the goddess has given herself. Although all of what happened to his father was done by the people of the temple, Andrei thought that if he could pray sincerely, the goddess would bless him and his father.
Half a year later, Andrei's father died, because he did not have time to leave when the bishop's carriage passed by, and was run over by the bishop's carriage. When Andre came back from helping people and saw his father's body, he happened to hear people around him talk about how his father died......
Since then, Andrei no longer believes in the people of the Temple, and at the same time does not believe in the so-called goddess. Andrei knew that the so-called temple was nothing more than an evil organization that deceived people in the name of "goddess" in order to defraud money. And the goddess ...... If the goddess really existed, how could she allow such cruelty to happen?
In the end, Andre could only bury his father in a mass grave outside the city, and when he returned to Rollo City, he wanted to avenge his father. But as a child, he can't do anything, and he even wants to live on his own.
"Hungry?" After being rejected by an unknown number of family members and having no job, André could only crouch on the side of the road and beg, and when he was about to starve to death because no one was willing to give him, an old man asked him, "Do you want to have a full stomach?" ”
Without much thought, Andrei just nodded subconsciously. Then the old man threw him a loaf of bread and a piece of jerky and said, "From this day onwards, go to me at noon every day behind the rock in the north of the city, if you want to live." ”
Since then, Andrei has traveled to the north of the city every day to find the old man, who has also provided André with the food he needs every day, as well as teaching him swordsmanship......
Andrei has been performing with his father since he was a child, so he has good physical fitness. Although his brain was not very bright, after several years of training, Andrei still barely fulfilled the old man's requirements, and then ...... He was expelled from the division and went to become an adventurer.
At the beginning, Andre naturally formed a team of adventurers with three newcomers of the same period, and the four of them worked together for two years, and the last adventure was that they took on a mission issued by the Temple.
Andre, who didn't have a good impression of the Temple, didn't want to accept that mission, but at that time, Andre's teammates said: "This mission is quite simple, and it is a mission issued by the Temple, and the information about the crusade target is all clear." Just be cautious and we won't even get hurt. You see, this quest to prepare a tribute for the goddess for the celebration has a much higher reward than the others, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
It should have been like this, but when they were on that crusade...... Because the information given by the temple was wrong, they encountered not just one, but three. In that battle, all three of Andre's teammates died tragically under the claws of the monster, and only Andre escaped by chance.
Andrei, who survived, gave up continuing to be an adventurer, and it was after that that Andrei became a bandit. lived a thief life for a few years until he met Zhen Xiang......
Just now he had been listening to Nemos talk about the goddess for a long time, and Andrei felt very upset - what goddess? That kind of thing doesn't exist at all. He also said the slogan of "all beings are equal", which is simply to fool people.
But there is also one reason why Andrei is angry - in anger, the words spoken by Nemos are so unassuming. From what had just happened, Andrei felt that Nirvana and them were as if they were just like himself. Maybe it's because of this?
Nemos looked at Andrei calmly and said, "My mission is to protect the three sacred trees in this swamp. If a human wants to invade the swamp and have anything to think about the sacred tree, I will definitely kill that person without hesitation......"
"But aren't there a few people here who have a bad idea of the sacred tree?" Andrei pointed to the crowd present and said: "Not only did you not kill us, but you also talked with us here for a long time. Is that what you mean by 'no hesitation'? ”
Nemos retorted, "If it weren't for seeing her magic wand, I would have killed you a long time ago." I fought the dark mage when he first entered the swamp......"
Speaking of this and pausing again, Nemos did not want to talk about his defeat......
The scene was very awkward for a while, and everyone remained silent and did not speak, everyone wanted someone to break the silence.
It took an unknown amount of time before Nemos said, "Alright, if you don't want to die, leave this swamp now, or I'll really ......."
"Why didn't you kill us when you saw the Dark Mage's wand?" André suddenly interrupted Nemos with another sentence: "Is there anything between you and the Black Mage?" ”
"You, you, you, what are you talking nonsense?!" Nemos suddenly became nervous and said, "What do I have to do with him?" We just had a fight, and I had nothing with him, him, and him! ”
Wait a minute? That's a weird situation...... Looking at Nimmos's slightly darkened face with a reddening feeling, is this guy shy?
Everyone present is probably Zhen Xiang, who is most familiar with this aspect, right? This Nemos is acting like the so-called "tsundere" character at this time, could it be that Niemos is ...... What does she like about Aniah's teacher?
Zhen Xiang smiled at Nemos: "How long did that black mage stay in this swamp back then? Can you tell us about that? We're curious. ”
Nemos bowed his head slightly and replied, "Probably...... Two months ......"
"Two months? Were you all together for those two months? Zhen Xiang's smile at this time was fortunate that Nemos didn't see it with his head down, otherwise he would definitely scare Nemos to death.
"Because I'm going to keep an eye on him so that he doesn't do anything...... That's why I've been following him all the time......"
