Chapter 176 Threat from the black-haired girl [Update 2/2]
Chen Luo almost couldn't hold the vegetable basket in his hand and murmured: "Waters... is dead?"
The vendor said, "I'm dead, I'm so terrible. I've been stabbed eighteen times on my body. The swords and swords are all vital. The person who killed him must be a powerful assassin..."
When Waters died, Chen Luo immediately suspected the Mathematics Association.
The first one to dispel doubts was the Mathematics Association.
As far as he knows, the Mathematics Association does not have powerful assassins. Even scholars at the level of great magicians are weaker than ordinary magicians and do not have the ability to kill Waters.
The second and most important point is that President Andy will definitely not ignore Chen Luo's words and make his own decisions, so Waters' death was definitely not done by the Mathematics Association.
It is even more impossible for the Magic Association. Chen Luo and them have not yet reached this level of friendship.
As for the crow, that's even more impossible.
When Chen Luo met him yesterday, he was limping. Obviously, his old injuries were not yet recovered. What's more, he was just a high-level magician. How could he kill Waters, who had already stepped into the magician with half his foot?
Moreover, their deal was not reached, and there was no reason for the Crow to do so.
It seems that the Second Prince and Waters must have done all the bad things and offended anyone they should not offend. Just as Waters does not take the lives of a lower-level magician seriously, a powerful man at the level of a magician or a great magician may not regard him as a human being.
Because he couldn't stand his actions, it was not impossible to stab him eighteen times.
Chen Luo originally thought so until he saw a crow mark on the wall of the tailor's shop.
After going back to make breakfast and changing clothes, Chen Luo walked through two streets along the prompts behind the mark and came to the gathering place of the poor in the royal capital.
The houses here are generally low and dilapidated, and the courtyard walls are even more broken. Walking into the narrow alleyway, you can even see the situation in the courtyard through the broken courtyard walls.
Along the way, there is a mark of a bird's head every distance, and the last mark is on the broken door of a dilapidated house.
Chen Luo raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a long time, a weak voice came from inside: "Wait..."
It was another long wait before the wooden door opened from inside, and Chen Luo saw the crow again from behind the door.
At this time, he was even more embarrassed than Chen Luo had ever seen. He leaned on crutches with his hands, his face was pale, and gauze was wrapped around his forehead, and blood was still seeping out of the gauze...
The crow looked at him, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Brother Vic, come in first..."
Chen Luo was shocked, walked into the yard, closed the gate, and turned around and asked, "Grandmaster Crow, what's wrong with you?"
The crow gritted his teeth and said, "Waters, this guy, hides his strength. In addition to being a great magician, he is actually a powerful warrior. I, Crow, have been in the industry for ten years and have countless achievements, but I almost fell into his hands..."
Chen Luo took a breath and said, "Did you really kill Waters?"
The crow looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Brother Vic, I gave you Waters to you, and I don't charge you money. This is my sincerity. We will cooperate more in the future..."
"No, no, no." Chen Luo looked at the gauze that was still bleeding from the crow's forehead, shook his head, and said, "You must collect this money. 30,000 gold coins, not a single gold coins..."
"No, no..." The crow said quickly: "Actually, the price of the great magician is 10,000 gold coins for me, and Waters is worth up to 15,000..."
Chen Luo said firmly: "I think he is worth 30,000 gold coins. Please don't refuse. If you don't accept it, we won't have to cooperate in the future..."
He still has no specific amount of property, and he has placed it in the Mathematics Association. Moreover, "Geometry" has not been published yet. Even if it is published, there may be "Differential Science", "Integral Science", "Numerical Analysis", "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics". If he is really short of money, he is not unable to get involved in the fields of biology, physics, alchemy, and astronomy...
Gold coins are just numbers for Chen Luo.
But for the crow, it was obviously not. Every gold coin he earned was exchanged for life. Chen Luo would argue with the grocery vendor for a long time because of two silver coins, but he could not give away any copper coin that the crow deserved.
The crow looked at Chen Luo in emotion and said, "Brother Vic, I did not misread you. Whatever you want in the future, no matter what it is, I will try my best to get it for you..."
"I'll talk about this later." Chen Luo looked at the crow and said, "Old Crow, your injury..., should you find a place to treat it first?"
The crow waved his hand and said, "It's all skin trauma. Why are you spending that money in vain? Those damn doctors will only release my blood. The medical fee is ridiculously expensive. It's like robbing money..."
Chen Luo said in surprise: "Your Maverick Crow should not be short of money..."
So far, the crow has earned tens of thousands of gold coins from Chen Luo. This money is enough for a family of five to live for thousands of years. There is no reason why he feels sorry for this little money.
The crow sighed and said, "There are many people in the family and many children. They all have to eat, and they have to save money even if they have money..."
Chen Luo had reason to doubt whether the crow's family had a giant dragon, but how to spend money, it was the crow's own business, and Chen Luo was not easy to ask. He looked at the crow and said, "I understand, it's nothing for men to suffer. No matter how hard they are, the children cannot suffer. However, 30,000 gold coins are not a small amount. I need some time to raise them, and I will send them here at that time."
The crow smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe Brother Vic."
Chen Luo thought for a while and said, "If you have any money in the future, you can get it from me first."
It’s useless to put gold coins in his place. Chen Luo felt that crows needed them more.
Besides, if he wants to obtain more magic in the future, he also needs a crow.
For Chen Luo, a crow is more meaningful than the entire Magic Association of Lolan.
The crow looked at him and said movedly: "Brother Vic, you are such a good person..."
Chen Luo left again without staying at the crow for long.
He really didn't expect Waters' death at all, nor did he expect that the Crow was such a kind-hearted person. He risked his life to assassinate the great magician Waters just because of his words...
What he didn't expect was that the crow really had this strength.
The strong man at the level of the great magician was so keen. Waters' attack was not hidden from Teacher Britney. A high-level magician, Raven, was able to assassinate Waters successfully...
This is a truly emotional friend worth making.
The streets are much deserted than when Chen Luo first came out.
Waters is different from Kempin. He is a confidant of the Second Prince. His death made the Second Prince furious and almost crazy, and he wanted to catch the murderer like crazy.
Before returning home, Chen Luo went to the Mathematics Association again. Geometry is still in short supply. Although 30,000 gold coins are not small for him, they will not hurt him.
However, it will take some time for the Mathematics Association to adjust so many gold coins.
After doing all this, he walked towards home.
At this time, Chen Luo was in the palace of the royal capital, and the atmosphere was particularly tense.
Isabella looked at the beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes in front of her, who was like Blair, and felt from her that neither Alice nor Britney had ever threatened her...
