Chapter 315: The abacus is crackling
When Ethan came to the courtyard where Amy and the elf were imprisoned, Amy was taking good care of the elf.
She brought her water and covered her with a blanket, looking exhausted.
And the elf was still half dead.
Her eyes were gloomy, without a trace of light, as if they might fall off at any time.
Seeing that the two were still pretending, Ethan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Don't you know that I have Catherine!
Although this guy is not very reliable, she can at least distinguish between truth and lies.
Why are you still pretending?
Although he knew that the two were pretending, Ethan did not expose them directly. Instead, he asked with concern:
"Is the little one better?"
Amy wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked up and said, "It's still the same. The life characteristics are damaged and no one can save her."
"Why do I feel that her condition has improved a lot?" Ethan smiled slightly, "Look, her belly is so big, obviously she has a good appetite."
"Ah..." Amy sighed, "Usually she loves to eat nuts. When we were fleeing, I couldn't satisfy her.
Now she wants them...
I thought I would try my best to meet her needs! As a result, I accidentally fed her too much."
Ethan suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer and teased, "Don't say that this little guy is quite amazing. He weighs less than half a catty, but he can eat three or four catties of nuts every day.
I'm very curious about how she does it."
Amy lowered her head to prevent Ethan from seeing her expression, and then glared at the elf Pixar lying in the cradle.
That look seemed to say: I told you to shut up, but you didn't listen. Now, people have seen the clue.
Pixar was glared at by Amy, and he shuddered immediately, then closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Seeing this, Amy sighed helplessly, and then said, "She wanted to go crazy for the last time, so I didn't stop her."
Wow!
There is still such a reason?
Can a dying person eat so much?
Ethan was a little speechless. The hint was so obvious, but the other party insisted on pretending.
He didn't want to play anymore, so he took out a letter and handed it to Amy.
It was sent by Turte.
In fact, Turte wrote two letters.
One to Amy and one to Ethan.
In the letter to Ethan, Turte expressed his gratitude to Ethan for taking in his sister.
At the same time, he told Ethan that the Borgia family was extremely shocked by the force displayed by Ethan, so they would not force others to fulfill the agreement.
In order not to come to Maro City, Turte has been sick for a long time.
Headache today, footache tomorrow, stomach discomfort the day after tomorrow, there is always a reason not to come to Maro City.
And he also studied medical books because he was worried that he could not accurately describe the symptoms.
After reading the letter, Ethan smiled slightly.
The tacit understanding between men is often so simple.
And Amy opened it as soon as she took the letter from Ethan.
Amy covered her mouth and burst into tears while reading the contents of the letter.
Ethan didn't know what was written in the letter, nor did he know whether Amy's expression was true or false, so he could only wait awkwardly on the side.
After a long while, Amy finished reading the letter and carefully put it away.
Then wiped away the tears and smiled at Ethan embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan, I haven't heard from my family for a long time, and I was a little out of control for a while."
Ethan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, but you should apologize, but not for this matter."
As he said, Ethan turned his head to look at the elf pretending to sleep.
It was not until then that Amy realized that Ethan had seen through their tricks. She was embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "So you knew it a long time ago."
Ethan nodded gently: "Now I give you two choices. One is that I will send you back to the Borgia family now, and then do what you want.
Second, I will provide you and the elves with shelter, and you can live freely in Maro City in the future.
No one in your family will bother you again.
If there are enemies, I can also help you solve them.
I will also provide you with basic living expenses.
Of course, all this is not free.
I need the elves to fill my spiritual void regularly until my spirit reaches the upper limit."
After hearing this, Amy was immediately confused.
From the bottom of her heart, she was never willing to return to her family, nor did she want to go into exile again.
Many people may think that wandering is a very romantic thing, but those who have wandered know that it is really unpleasant, and there is no place better than home.
But home can't go back.
When she was wandering before, she couldn't even have a good meal because she had no money, let alone other things.
She spent a lot of time on survival every day, and even magic was about to be abandoned.
Sometimes she couldn't help it, and she wanted to use illusion to cheat some money, but she couldn't get over it.
Illusion is used to deceive people, but not to deceive innocent people.
It's not easy for anyone to live in this world. She couldn't live with her conscience to cheat others' money.
Some people may think that it's okay to cheat those bad guys' money.
But Amy doesn't think so.
First of all, who is a bad guy, how do you know?
People walking on the street don't have the words "I am a bastard" written on their faces, how do you know who is a bad guy?
It is not possible that if you dress better and look richer, you are a bad person!
There should be no such truth in the world!
Secondly, even if you know someone is a bad person, you cheat them of their money, then what is the difference between you and those bad people?
The principles in Amy's heart do not allow her to do such things.
When Pix stole nuts from a squirrel for winter because of greed, she had to return them, so how could she do such a thing against her will.
Of course, because of her poor and particular character, she has had a very hard life in recent years.
So when Ethan offered asylum, she was moved.
The strength of the great swordsman in front of her is so powerful that it is incredible.
So much so that the letter written by her brother clearly stated that she should stay with the great swordsman, so that the family would not trouble her again.
However, to stay here, Pix needs to provide services for him, which is obviously very unfair to Pix.
However, Pix does not think so.
After coming here, she has achieved nut freedom, and now she is unwilling to leave here even if she dies.
Seeing that she had been discovered by Ethan, she stopped pretending and flew up from the cradle in high spirits.
Then she flew to Amy's shoulder and whispered in Amy's ear:
"Amy, hurry up and agree to him! It's just a few times of vitality!
Although I will be weak for a few days, it doesn't matter at all.
And how much potential does he have?
Maybe he can use it again, no, maybe only half a time.
But he wants to protect us for life, so this deal is worth it no matter how you look at it.
He is so stupid, why are you still hesitating?
Do you want to go back to your previous wandering life?"
Hearing this, Amy looked at Pixar with wide eyes.
She muttered in her heart: How did Pixar suddenly become so smart? Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.
So, she turned to look at Ethan and said with a smile: "Pixar and I both choose the second one, but we have to sign an agreement.
Also, you have to remove the collar on my neck first. What I want is real freedom.
And you have to provide me with a job with a weekly salary of no less than 200 gold."
Hearing this, the corners of Ethan's mouth twitched.
This little girl is quite good at making conditions!
After hesitating for a while, Ethan nodded: "Deal!"
