Jennifer, who was like a ghoul, threw herself in front of Li Ke. Her mutilated, dead-twig-like palms moved back and forth on Li Ke's neck, and even strangled Li Ke's neck at one point.
But Li Ke just watched quietly as the ghoul-like Jennifer raised and lowered her hands, then calmed down and distanced herself again.
"Calm down?"
Li Ke looked at Jennifer, who had returned to her dignified appearance, and picked up the sausage again.
He needs something to eat to calm down his shock...
As for nausea?
That emotion has been scared away by the crazy Jennifer.
Without answering Li Ke's question, Jennifer answered Li Ke's question with another question.
"What price?"
"I don't know, because the cost is very high and it requires consuming life force. Both your life force and mine need to be consumed, so I don't know how much the cost is. I only know that I can only heal myself now, and I can't heal others.
"
Jennifer turned her head sharply.
"You want me to help you kill people? Like the girls in the story who were deceived by the devil?"
Jennifer only thought of this. In the story books she knew, those evil wizards and devils all seduced others in this way, and now she was like the miserable woman in the story, making a deal with the devil for her appearance.
"Not really."
Li Ke shook his head.
"What I need is actually very simple, a stable and prosperous life, and a certain social status. In this way, I will have enough time and money to study how to treat you."
Li Ke pointed out his index finger. The first half of what he said was true. In the past few days, he thought about it carefully and found that although he was forced to accept it.
But after accepting it, it is the most beneficial to him.
In this world, knowledge is monopolized and status is stable.
And as long as you agree, you can gain status and knowledge and join the upper class society.
Moreover, Jennifer's face is not without a chance to be repaired, and this marriage, which is just a transaction, may not be without a chance to look happy.
However, it is pure fantasy to say that he has feelings for someone he has only met once.
He just needs a stable place where he can develop...
Even if you don't develop in the end, at least you can't live a life of being homeless and dependent on others, with no development at all.
That's a nightmare.
"That's all you need?"
Jennifer wrote that she couldn't believe it because she seemed to have paid nothing.
"This is already a very powerful request, miss. And what else do you think you have now? All you have is your identity, and all I need is your cooperation."
Li Ke shook his head.
"This is just a deal. When we don't need each other, we just leave."
Li Ke's words put Jennifer in a trance. A few days ago, she was still a girl dreaming of a dreamy wedding and life. Now, she has to use her marriage and the shattered dream to marry a person who may be a witch or someone from a fairy tale.
devil man making deal.
But.
But……
"Do I have a choice?"
Jennifer looked at Li Ke with complicated eyes. She had wanted to show her heart to Li Ke, a traveler, and wanted to hear stories from other places from him and hear his encouragement.
Because he is a traveler, he doesn't need to care about what the other person thinks.
However, he used this terrible way to enter her life and completely crushed her broken dream.
"Look around, young lady, at least we each get what we need."
Li Ke knew she had agreed, so he smiled.
"So, can we eat now? If you can't wait until then, your property will be at a loss for me."
With a chuckle, Li Ke put the plate on the table and took out a wooden mask from his arms.
This mask was specially prepared for Jennifer in the past few days. It was made in a 21st century style and could hide Jennifer's current ghoul-like face as much as possible.
"It's better to hide your face than to reveal your secret, isn't it?"
Putting the mask next to Jennifer's lunch, Li Ke strode towards the door.
Now that Jennifer has started eating, part of his mission has been completed. I believe that after seeing how hard he worked to keep Jennifer alive, his current boss will send someone to teach him how to do this.
The world's words.
It doesn't feel good to be illiterate. If you can't read, you won't be able to travel around.
He has not contacted the murderous succubus Metis in the past few days, because he is indeed betting that he is Party A, but unfortunately, in the relationship with the lord, he is Party B.
And there is still no way for Party B to refuse.
After tidying up his clothes, Li Ke went to the room he was tidying up in the tavern. He closed the door, picked up a book in the tavern, and began to continue learning the words of this world by himself.
The tavern was temporarily closed, so he had time to do his own things, such as learning to write.
This thing started when he was still working as a blacksmith, but because he didn't have a teacher who was patient enough, his progress was not very fast.
Looking at the meanings of the words that he asked others to find out, Li Ke had a headache.
Although the human languages in this world also use English letters, they have different meanings. This directly caused the half-baked English that Li Ke learned to seriously interfere with his speed of learning this language and gave him a considerable headache.
The result is that as long as he is confused, he will write the wrong words.
"Fxck..."
After scolding these words, Li Ke couldn't help but cover his forehead when he looked at the words he had remembered wrongly.
He had already thought about how the teacher would reprimand him.
Just as he was covering his forehead and sighing, a female voice that was somewhat familiar to him rang out.
"Your handwriting is really ugly."
Li Ke quickly turned his head and found that the woman who had taken away his sword suddenly appeared on his bed.
The other party was wearing a black leather jacket today and a pair of high boots without high heels. It looked like they were designed for easy movement.
The other party also has red hair and a very graceful figure, not inferior to the previous Jennifer at all. But the most impressive thing is her beautiful red lips.
Very thick, but beautiful.
However, the other party stepped on his bed with his booted feet, making the already messy bed stained with extra dust, which made him quite unhappy.
"..."
But thinking about what the other party just said, Li Ke had a bad feeling.
The next moment, this premonition came true, and this mature woman curled her fingers at him and showed a teasing smile.
"Don't look like that. Come on, call the teacher."
