Hearing the strange and sinister voice on the other end of the phone, the young gray rabbit man frowned alertly: "Who is it? Are you following me?!"
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Saab. I am not your enemy, I can even be said to be your friend." The mysterious voice continued to comfort Saab: "I have a huge fortune here, waiting for you to claim it. All you need to do is just
It's a very simple little thing."
"Tsk. Is this a scam call?" Sabo said angrily, his finger already moving towards the exit button on the phone: "I'm going to hang up."
However, just when Saab was about to hang up the phone, the other party rushed to say:
"Go ahead. Take off the clothes of the young man in front of you. Then pick up your phone and take a photo of him without clothes. The more indecent the photo you take, the better, and the more ugly the better."
Preferably, ugly enough to get him into trouble."
The young gray rabbit man frowned again, and he suddenly understood something.
Sure enough, there are people in the Knights of Great Britain who want Daniel to be dismissed from his post, so that the young Silver Knight, who has just taken office, will be quickly ruined. But in this way? Really? This approach is childish and despicable?!
"You know, this can't possibly work." Sabo was not a fool. Although he was in a bad state at this time, his mind was still very clear: "Okay, even if you take a picture of Silver Knight Daniel,
Take the photo, use it as a handle, so what? You caught an underage boy disheveled and drunk in your own home, and the superiors found out and just gave him a stern warning. Do you think this can make him?
Has he been dismissed from his post? Are you overthinking it?"
The other party didn't respond for a while. I don't know if he was surprised by Sabo's rebuttal or because of other reasons.
"No matter what, take a photo of it." The other party said after a long time: "I have a reward of three hundred gold coins. As long as you take the photo as required, the money will be yours."
Three hundred gold coins...!
After hearing this, the Gray Rabbit's eyes suddenly shone. With this money, he could avoid doing a lot of hard work in a short period of time and live leisurely and happily for a period of time. And what he had to do,
It was just a "harmless prank" to take a photo of a teenager.
No. I'm afraid...
No, no. Why not. Sabo covered his chest, which was still throbbing with pain. It was impossible to get workers' compensation for this kind of injury, and this injury was also caused by that brat Daniel. Sabo still wanted to
Ask Daniel for compensation. Now it's just a different form ------
No no no! But that's just a kid...!
But, no no no no!! That is a Silver Knight. As a knight, he must know what he is doing and must be responsible for the troubles he has caused!
But......!
Sabo let out a long sigh.
"I can't do it. Find someone else." He hung up the phone without thinking too much.
He is indeed a prodigal dog, a salted fish who has lost hope and has no dreams, but he has not completely lost his humanity and is not able to do such dirty and ugly things. It is true that he cannot have a future, but what he has in front of him
Daniel may still have hope. He cannot personally destroy the hope of a young boy with a promising future. What's more, Daniel is not the person he imagined. The motivations and purposes of this Silver Knight boy are more complicated than the intrigues in the Knights.
That group of adults must be at least a hundred times more pure.
"I'm sorry." He apologized to the sleeping Daniel over there: "The outside world is full of bad people. You have to protect yourself and don't be tainted by such ugly guys."
Then he suddenly paused, thinking that there seemed to be something wrong with his words. In this way, had he actually been defiled, even filthy? A picture suddenly flashed in his mind, recalling that he was covered in filth just to make a living.
The sight of lying on the ground in a pile of flesh surrounded by dozens of men and women, being ravaged by others. Well, that was indeed filthy. He chuckled to himself.
At this moment, a faint light came from the room on one side of the living room.
A basement? There is actually a basement in this dilapidated iron house? It must be very difficult to forcefully dig a basement in the mud. Is it the current owner of the house or the previous owner who did something stupid? And why is there a basement in the basement?
There will be light coming out, is there anything in it?
Sabo couldn't help but walk towards the basement. He didn't expect anything valuable to be found in such a shabby iron house in a slum, but the light coming from the basement looked suspicious no matter how you looked at it. Could it be underground?
Is there some weird cult ritual going on? He is a knight of Great Britain after all, and this house is his boss's house. If he finds something so suspicious, it is reasonable for him to investigate.
Then------
After pushing open the basement door and taking a few steps into the basement, Sabo was stunned.
There is no terrifying underground cult ritual. The light coming from the basement is actually treasure light. In short, it is a priceless treasure that emits abnormally brilliant light under the weak light in the environment.
"I worked very hard to make money." Daniel's sleep talking just now suddenly sounded in Sabo's mind.
This is the result of a little lunatic working very hard to make money crazily.
This great treasure of the Daniel family, this huge and frighteningly gorgeous pile of underground treasures, seems to be smiling sarcastically at Sabo, the Gray Rabbit.
If he hadn't heard Daniel talk in his sleep just now, Sabo would have even thought that Daniel was actually a child of a noble family, just hiding his identity with poverty. But what he said just now was so real, so hopelessly real that the young gray bunny man couldn't believe it.
It was difficult. So he took it for granted that the pile of treasure in front of him was the treasure that Daniel had accumulated over the years by using all legal and illegal means.
He was not proficient in counting, but after a rough look, he estimated that the treasure pile in front of him was worth at least one million gold coins. Most of them were gold coins anyway. Of course, there were also gems with higher value, and the quality of the gems seemed to be quite high.
It is estimated that one gem can be worth many gold coins.
Sabo swallowed.
He is indeed on the verge of despair. If his life does not improve, life itself will suck him dry sooner or later. And even if he works hard and diligently, he will never see a turnaround. He and Daniel
The difference is that Daniel is a human, and he is an orc. Orcs will never be able to recover in Great Britain and will be discriminated against for the rest of their lives. He has seen the cruelty of reality and has bowed to reality countless times, so he understands this despair better than anyone else.
He may not use despicable methods to trap Daniel, but he cannot remain indifferent after seeing this big treasure. This is his only chance, the chance to live. If he misses this, he can only wait for death silently and wait for the years.
Completely polish off his last bit of vitality.
Goo.
So hungry.
He remembered that he had bought forty-eight packs of instant noodles online just a few hours ago, the awful but extremely cheap [Hope brand] instant noodles.
"Hope" your sister.
False hope is worse than despair. It will only make those who have experienced it hate this hopeless world even more deeply.
Sabo cried. Weeping softly, he knelt down in front of the pile of treasures and sobbed.
It was an inexplicable feeling of frustration and an unprecedented sense of shame.
Once again, he surrendered to despair and gave all his dignity.
Even though he has done many despicable and ugly things, even though he has been humiliated countless times, and his personality has been degraded countless times, this is the first time in his life that he has stolen. The thing he stole was from a child.
But if he didn't steal, he knew that he really couldn't survive. So while he collapsed, he mechanically stretched out his trembling hands and grabbed a handful of golden coins on the ground.
He didn't dare to touch those gems. He knew that the value of gems was too high, and it was difficult to resell them for cash. On the other hand, gold coins, pure gold was valuable no matter in ancient or modern times, and most of them were gold coins of Great Britain. As long as they were stolen,
, the gold coins can be used directly as money to meet his most basic living needs. Even if he only steals a very small part of the gold coins in this pile of treasures, he can survive, and he and his family will also have a chance to survive.
So, to live, why not?
No amount of high-sounding reasons can hide the fact that he is a despicable person, but despicable people have to live a life, so just be a despicable person honestly. Why not.
He suddenly thought of the Black Rabbits in the Underdark, who were his close relatives. Did those Black Rabbits who stole everywhere shouting "for a living" initially have the same mood and do what he is doing now?
Yes, the same thing?
Thinking that he had been reduced to the same level as the Black Rabbit, the young Gray Rabbit Sabo couldn't help crying even more miserably. However, his eyes were blurred by tears, and he cried and laughed like crazy, while still holding his hands.
He hurriedly stuffed a lot of gold coins into his trouser pockets, filling the empty subspace storage pockets at his waist until they were full.
He didn't count it, but the storage pocket was one of the equipment distributed by the knights, and its capacity could be roughly calculated. To fill a storage pocket of this size, it would take about three hundred gold coins.
Three hundred gold coins? He didn't betray Daniel, but he still stole the same amount of money from Daniel's treasure. So is there any difference between doing this and betraying Daniel?
But he couldn't care so much. After stealing the money, he became extremely nervous, fearing that Daniel would suddenly wake up and ruin everything. He cried and crawled out of the basement. When he returned to the living room,
He glanced at the Silver Knight boy again with a bitter look on his face.
"I'm sorry." He managed to hold back his tears and murmured in a low voice. Then he rushed out of the door crazily and ran outside the house, disappearing into the night in an instant.
