Chapter Thirty-Three The poor child
Chapter 33 Poor child
Elm stared at William standing with a smile. In just a blink of an eye, twelve well-trained elite soldiers were wiped out. This was a blow to his fragile little heart.
William walked over and squatted down on one knee, gently lifted the seriously injured Elm and asked: "Elm, how are you injured?" But Elm stared directly at William's face. , that shocked look was comparable to that of an old man who had broken his back for many years and suddenly discovered a charming and gorgeous young man in a flower field.
William was a little embarrassed when Elm looked at him. Yun Jin woke him up with a soft snort and said, "What's wrong with you? Did someone kick your brains out?"
Elm tried to show a smile to apologize, but the wound was so painful that his mouth twisted. He grimaced and sucked in cold air: "Ouch! Si——! I...I'm fine, I won't die yet. William, I never thought...I never thought it was you who saved me."
William glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and asked, "Who are they and why did they come here to hunt you down?"
Elm looked at William with a complicated expression and said in a solemn voice: "They are all Zhentarim killers. They are extremely difficult to offend. I didn't expect that they would all... fall into your hands. No wonder Ms. Hillen repeatedly told her before leaving... ...Tell me to ask you for help, you are the most...strongest warrior I have ever seen."
"Xilen? I knew she would be indispensable for this kind of thing." William couldn't help but frown, and then sighed, "Forget it! I'll take you back to the lumberyard. Your wounds are a bit fatal, so you have to kill me." Yasuna heals her."
Elm stopped William with his remaining right hand and said hoarsely: "Wait! William, I... I have something to ask for, and I hope you can grant it."
"Oh! Tell me about it."
Elm took a breath and said: "The reason why these Zhentarim killers are chasing me is because of little Meluna. Little Meluna was born with a special talent, and she has been persecuted by evil forces since she was a child. Peeping, I don't know how many people in the Harper Alliance have sacrificed their lives to protect her over the years. Unfortunately, this time they missed their whereabouts. The Zhentarim and several other organizations will never give up. William, I am almost a useless person now. I am completely unable to continue to protect poor little Miluna, I can only ask you..."
William sneered and said: "Aren't there still sisters of Xilen? With the help of Alustriel, the lord of Silvermoon City, and her subordinates, I believe it will be safer than leaving it here with me!"
Elm shook his head with a wry smile and said: "You don't understand, William! I can't reveal some secrets involving the Harpers' senior management and the silver-haired sisters, but if they were there, Xiaomi Luna's situation would definitely be miserable. It might as well be It’s more effective if you and I protect you.”
"What you said is a bit confusing. Forget it, it's none of my business and I don't care. Once your injury is healed, take the child and leave immediately. I don't want little Misha'er to be involved. , if you want to find someone to help, there are tens of thousands of people in Silver Moon City, but you are still afraid that you can't find a suitable candidate? As for me, forget it!" After this period of peaceful life, Xiao Misha'er is obviously better than before when she was wandering around. Feeling much more energetic, William no longer wanted to be forced to embark on the old path of escape.
"William! William...cough...cough, please listen to me...listen to me. No one can protect Xiaomi Luna except you. No one...no one can complete this adventure." William said.
Refusing, Elm was so excited that he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He spoke in a hoarse voice with great difficulty.
William smiled coldly and said: "But I'm not interested! I don't want to! I don't want to! Do you hear me clearly? Shut your mouth now, and then wait for Asuna to cure your injury and leave with the girl!"
"No! William, you can't do this. Without you, Xiaomi Luna will definitely not escape misfortune. I...I am willing to use my life in exchange, William! I am willing to use my life to win your consent! Cough...
…Ahem, cough, cough…” Alm, who looked miserable, looked desperate at first, and then showed a relieved smile.
William thought this man was a bit stupid, actually claiming to use his life in exchange, what is the use of my life!
Elm, who coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, continued: "William, Arabelle of Cormyr, there is a hotel called Arabelle's Light in that city, please find a red-haired girl named Caitlin Moonsong.
She will tell you how to arrange Xiaomi Luna. William... Ho-ho... I-I-please tell Ms. Hillen that I have not tarnished the name of Skylark after all. Uh-"
William suddenly realized that something was wrong with Elm's situation. When he turned the other person's body over, he found that Elm had inserted a dagger into his heart. William had an urge to laugh, but he actually got it when he asked for help.
Suicide, what is this? It's really funny.
But William couldn't laugh. He had killed countless people in his two lives. He had seen countless good people, bad people, smart people, stupid people, greedy people, and treacherous people... But this was the first time he had encountered a situation like Elm's.
, this is different from those who act bravely in a moment of anger. "A gentleman values righteousness over life and death." It is easy to say, but it is difficult to actually do it...
William squatted on the ground and stared at Elm's frozen eyes. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, you won! I promise you, now you can rest in peace. Alas! I really don't know what the end is.
Are you stupid or am I stupid, motherfucker!"
The Secret Notes of the Harper Alliance: Dr. 1357 - In March of the Year of the Prince, Skylark died in the eastern suburbs of Silvermoon City in the North.
William gently closed Elm's eyelids and retrieved his lost rapier. With William's arm strength, Elm's body weight was nothing at all, but his steps were very heavy, as if he was holding his arms.
It's a heavy stone mountain.
William carried his body and slowly returned to the abandoned lumber camp cabin. The funeral was very simple, without even inviting the lowest priest to preside over it. Yasuna briefly recited a calming spell (to prevent the body from mutating into something else).
creature) and buried it hastily.
William erected a wooden tombstone for Elm according to the custom of his previous life. The epitaph was: He gave his own life in exchange for the possibility of a girl's survival. No one can deny the nobility contained under the tombstone.
Throughout the funeral process, Xiaomi Luna always watched silently, without sadness or pain, and even her eyes showed no fluctuation, as if she were an irrelevant bystander. This made William feel very uncomfortable. Sure enough, she was a pitiful person.
