After hearing Emily's words, Mo Xiao was shocked. What kind of shameful treaty is this? The best case scenario is to pay the price of one eye. This is simply tying herself up and giving it to others. Her head is fine.
Right?
"You...take yourself as a bet?" Gui Li looked at the back of her hand and frowned deeply, "What if you win the bet? If you lose one eye, your strength will be greatly reduced. In the future,
How to feed these children?"
Emily had a sad look on her face: "The money has been used up, and I can't contact other tribesmen. My ability is limited on my own. If I don't take such desperate risks, these children will not be able to survive the winter. Even if they don't starve to death, they will freeze to death."
What’s next?”
Guili has nothing to say. If you want to spend the winter in Beast Tooth Mountain, you have to prepare well in advance. Whether it is clothing, firewood, food, etc., there must be no problem in one place. It is normal to be frugal and frugal, and Emily is
On the side, a dozen children are all supported by her alone, and the situation is too serious.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that Emily has been forced to a dead end. Of course, if she was determined to give up all this, she could also fly away alone, but she did not do that.
"In terms of the value of the elf, you are 'selling' yourself cheaply." Patty came over with a thread-bound book in her hand and threw it to Mo Xiao naturally.
"A Brief History of Elves".
Patty took this from the bookshelf by the wall, and she had already flipped through it hastily. The book only had a few dozen pages, and was more like a book than a book. However, through it, Patty also learned about elves.
Got a little understanding.
The number of elves is not large, and there are few individuals active on the mainland. They are best at archery, and can easily pierce a tree with a hundred steps. Some of their archery skills can even be called miraculous, and they are famous for their strength.
However, because each elf has extremely strong adaptability to spells, their flesh and hair are excellent media whether used for making magic weapons or testing spells. There are even rumors that elf flesh and blood can prolong life and strengthen physical fitness, and are extremely expensive.
He is high-spirited, has outstanding looks, and is coveted by many people. Even as a slave, he is a top-notch commodity, so he can easily become the target of those with ulterior motives.
Simply put, compared to other races, elves are more dangerous in this world.
Hearing Patty's words, Emily sighed and said: "I have nothing. Dongyue's supplies are tight. It's the same no matter who you are. It's impossible for anyone to be kind enough to help refugees for free, let alone elves. I'm confident to protect them."
I have children, but I can’t support them, so using myself as collateral is my last resort.”
"Hey, stupid." Gui Li said with a serious face, "Why are you thinking about our village? Don't you know that your actions will have serious consequences for us?"
Gui Li felt very unhappy. He sympathized with the elf's plight, but he was even more angry at what Emily had done. The main reason for giving him food was because of the elf's kindness and a little bit of sympathy to him. It did not mean that he had forgiven him.
The other party.
"The information about your village was obtained from the mage. I have a lighter psychological burden on dealing with the bandits." Emily explained, "But... now it seems that you don't look like barbarians.
Gangster."
"Gangster?" Patty couldn't help but wonder, and Mo Xiao couldn't help pricking up his ears. Thinking about it carefully, if he is the king of the mountain, does Guili also do things like robbery?
"Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with us in Beast Tooth Village being bandits, but we don't do things like robbing families and homes, otherwise how could we possibly survive next to Mori Lanka? It doesn't bother anyone if we occasionally do some gangsterism.
Right."
Gui Li sneered, then rolled his eyes: "Let me guess, the mage you agreed with is called Babzel?"
"How do you know?"
"I see, no wonder he can definitely redeem you from me. Meniya bought some magic items from him three months ago and owes him a favor." Guili said this and glanced jokingly.
Eyes Ai MiLi said, "You have been deceived. That guy knows a lot about the Beast Tooth Village and clearly asked you to come and give away his head. Because of the favor, he can buy you from me at a very small price.
Hehe, use me as a swordsman, this old guy is very good at planning what he wants."
Gui Li knocked on his knee, his eyes were cold, and he understood the whole story at once: "It's a pity that he has been staying in Mori Lanka for a long time, and there is no chance for revenge."
Thinking of this, Gui Li's gaze drifted back and forth between Mo Xiao and Emily, and he suddenly thought: "He is going to miscalculate now. Now you are the prisoner of my companion. He must not have thought that you would fall into this trap."
In the hands of others, if Babuzel wants to redeem you, it depends on whether my good brother agrees. If he doesn't agree, the agreement between you will be automatically invalid. Losing dozens of slaves will make him suffer a loss, hehe.
, Mo Xiao, you don’t have to do anything, just show your attitude, how about it?"
Emily shuddered, realizing that she had become a prisoner, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. She could only comfort herself that falling into the hands of these people in front of her was better than falling into the hands of the evil mage.
Better.
Mo Xiao closed the book and had no objection to Gui Li's request. After all, he was not required to do anything, so why not do it?
"No problem, but will the other party get angry and do something?"
"He can't do anything. The contract is absolute. You are not from the Beast Tooth Village, so naturally you will not be affected by this contract. However, if you have the chance, you must still find a way to cancel this contract. If you dare to plot against me, you will not let me
How can this old guy like Babzel pay the price?"
Guili's eyes flashed with cold light, and he looked at Emily's lips slightly raised: "During this period, I want all these children to go to our village. Although what you said is true, in view of what happened before, I can't completely
Trust you."
Emily had no other choice but to obey the order: "You have the final say, but before that, I have to talk to the children about it."
"It will take a while for them to wake up." Patty pointed to the children lying on the ground and said.
"Then wait, it doesn't take much time anyway, and it's not suitable to rush when it's dark, so there's no rush." Mo Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly, and then changed the topic, "Now I want to ask, what did you use when you escaped?
Where did the repulsion amulet come from? Did you make it?"
"You actually know the name. It involves ancient runes, also known as divine writings. The relevant knowledge is only recorded by elves and the legendary race of gods. I am just a warrior and I don't know how to make it." Emily looked at it carefully.
After looking at him for a while, he remembered Mo Xiao's previous methods, so he suddenly realized, "Are you a mage? Now that the elves have disappeared, the gods and humans are hard to find, and it is impossible to learn."
"Ancient runes? Divine writings?" This information surprised Mo Xiao, and he strengthened his determination to continue the investigation. He took a deep breath and said, "If your tribe disappears, it does not necessarily mean they are dead."
Emily shook her head: "Of course I know this, but how different is the current situation from death?"
"This is a big difference." The mysterious pendant suddenly stayed in Mo Xiao's pocket and said, "If all your people are dead, then you do have enough reasons to mourn and remember, but if it just disappears, then there are still
The possibility of getting it back."
"Judging from your one or two sentence description, it is possible that the disappearance of the elves was just a disaster caused by abnormal space transmission."
The words of the mysterious pendant moved Mo Xiao's heart.
