Knight of the Light

Chapter 259: Different destiny

Was saved.

Lorraine stayed up all night, holding the gold coins in her palms and opening her eyes the next day. She couldn't sleep, her brain was rattling, but she didn't know what she was thinking about. The scene of gold coins being thrown at the back door of the tavern repeatedly appeared.

When hearing the hotel owner's heavy steps and scolding him into the basement to collect the rent, Lorraine realized that the night had passed. She climbed up from the thatched floor, carefully opening the door of the small compartment.

The air in the basement was cloudy and the light was zero. The hotel owner held an oil lamp, kicked the door of each compartment with a foot, and yelled and shouted, "Get up, poor ghosts, it's time to pay the rent. Get out without me."

There were two stout guys behind the boss, and they were equally vicious. They never treated the poor poorly. They fought without receiving rent. Any begging was useless. They were thrown directly into the street and left to freeze and starve to death.

Every compartment in the basement of the hotel is packed with people, and there is no dignity or reputation to live in. But many people couldn't even afford a day's rent of five copper coins, and had to kneel in vain to make the boss show mercy.

The noises and begging sounded one after another, mixed together, and cycled like this every day. Until a crisp voice came out and shouted, "Boss, I will pay the rent of everyone here."

what?

The hotel owner turned his head and raised the oil lamp to illuminate a thin boy and a yellow Chancan coin in the palm of the boy.

Of gold.

"Boy, where did you steal it from?" The hotel owner yelled loudly and reached for his hand. The two stout guys behind him also stared, and they were about to push forward.

The thin Lorraine stood still, but shouted loudly: "Take your dirty hands away, and I get a very good job. This is the prepaid salary I get. There is a nobleman who favors me. How dare you touch me? "

In the severely alien world, there is a huge gap between nobility and civilians. There are a lot of laws and regulations against civilians in the society, but the aristocracy has the privilege to ignore those terrible constraints.

The hotel owner's outstretched hand stopped, looked at the gold coins, and looked at the self-confident face of the skinny boy. Lorraine sneered disdainfully, throwing out the hard-to-find gold coin

Really cool, the condescending gift is so cool!

The family of Lorraine saw the gold coin for the first time, and now she threw it away, and she was even more imposing. She is obviously shorter than the hotel owner, but at this moment she has high toes and feels that everyone is lower than her.

The hotel owner stretched out his hands to pick up the gold coin, and was very happy, "Okay, you can live in the future until you run out of this gold coin. By the way, you must be hungry, I will prepare food for you And hot water. "

Heads were squeezed out of the basement, and I couldn't believe that someone actually took out a gold coin to help themselves, it was just a pie in the sky.

Lorraine's father also came out of the cubicle and whispered, "Child, that's a gold coin. Our family has never made such a sum of money."

Yeah, a big sum of money.

Lorraine loosened his shoulders and replied softly: "Dad, bless me. This time someone gave me a chance to live, and I also gave others the same opportunity. Ilmat was guiding me, and I will at all costs Go and hold it. "

In order to earn the gold coin, the hotel owner brought a lot of food to the residents in the basement. In order to please Lorraine, a special piece of meat was also given to her.

When Lorraine saw the piece of jerky that had not been kept for many years, he waved dismissively: "Give others, I'm going to eat better."

The hotel owner was even more surprised and did not dare to offend easily.

Only Lorraine knew that she had digested the food that had a stomachache last night, and she felt hungry now. But she even knew that this was a world of personal cannibalism, and she had to put herself out of the way and not let people look down.

Leaving the hotel to the tavern, the two places are actually half a street away, just a short walk away. Lorraine found that she was not the earliest. Someone was earlier than her, and even did not leave overnight, blowing in the cold wind all night.

It was a middle-aged man with his arms hiding in the corner of the tavern, with an unhealthy and sickly dish on his black and thin face. He kept squinting with his eyes closed as if to die next second.

"Hey, are you waiting to see the big man in the tavern?" Lorraine whispered.

The black and thin middle-aged man seemed to be unable to carry it, and opened his eyes slightly and closed weakly.

Lorraine pulled out half of the pasta from his clothes last night. "Here, eat it."

food? The black and thin middle-aged man was almost hungry, and stretched out his dry palm to grab the half of the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. But with only half a mouthful, he turned and ran towards the alley near the pub.

Lorraine tilted her head, followed a few steps, and saw two children in the alley deep in the alley, crying hungry. She sighed, "It's good, I saved another family."

Lorraine brought noodles home last night. Naturally, her parents could not eat them all. Saving food has become a deep-rooted idea in their family. When she went out, her father jammed half of the noodles and said ‘come back.’

"There is nothing wrong, I will do it." Lorraine waited at the door of the tavern, waiting for several hours without waiting for the tavern to open the door, but waiting for some people who wanted to eat yesterday and still want to continue today.

Last night, the guy who taught Lorraine to Tibetan food also came. He also greeted Lorraine enthusiastically and discussed how to go in for a meal. Lorraine quietly distanced herself from it without saying a word.

The girl walked towards the back door of the tavern, and the black and thin middle-aged man receiving her food followed in silence.

"Child, can you tell me something about last night?" Hei Shou middle-aged asked begging, "I know the news is too late. I finally rushed over and the pub was closed. I asked a lot of people and felt this It's like recruiting. "

Black and thin middle-aged had food for children first, which greatly enhanced Lorraine's favor. She nodded slightly: "Yes, a big man distributed food here for free last night. But only those who pass his test are eligible to see him."

"Child, you must have passed the test, haven't you?" Hei Shou middle-aged asked anxiously, "What is the test? Are there any today?"

"I probably passed." Lorraine probably told about what happened last night. She saw the black and thin man showing some remorse, and suddenly realized that the other party might not be telling the truth. "I was told to come to the pub today, The others are unclear. "

Black Slender middle-aged was more anxious, begging again: "Child, help me. I have two little guys to raise, and can't find a job. Our whole family must die."

Lorraine refused in person, his voice was low, "I see your child. But I don't know how to help you. I don't know who is actually favoring me now. What's his temper, I can't do it at all Estimate. "

The middle-aged and black-skinned man trembled, and he knelt to Lorraine and begged.

At this moment, a grumpy yell sounded at the door of the tavern, and the orc owner stepped out and shouted, "Get away, there is no free food today. Those who received the notice last night can come in, and everyone else can get away. "

Lorraine's voice was weaker. "Sorry, I have to go. My fate is uncertain."

The thin girl left quickly, and the black and middle-aged man was crying without tears. Behind him, the two young children were only half-full and were shouting 'Dad' weakly.

There are too many people in misery.
