Section 84: Postman
The daughter that the captain and the therapist mentioned was only seen by Marin the day after he returned to the city. Marin and the girls went there to look around, but couldn't find anyone. They only found out about this little guy today.
Because my adoptive father, uncles and aunts were away at work, they went to the nearby Church of the God of Suffering to pray.
The God of Suffering sounds a bit like Buddhism. It seems to be saying that all living beings suffer and must cultivate the afterlife.
Of course, this is what Marin thought of immediately when he saw this name. The actual situation is that the God of Suffering is quite hard-core - he is a god who protects the poor and a follower of the God of Justice.
At this point, Marin already understands this person's philosophy, and in fact it is the same - the God of Suffering's teachings warn the world that fate divides life into grades, not to make the people at the bottom ignorant.
Reason, piety, penance, and wisdom, these three concepts represent this god. If the God of Justice is responsible for life and death in this group of gods, he is the one who kills people if they are disobedient, then the God of Suffering uses another way to save the world.
——You must know that the people at the bottom have no knowledge as a weapon and no reason as a shield. They are simply the existences that evil pagans love to bewitch.
The rural schools run by the God of Suffering can be said to have changed the chaotic situation at the grassroots level to a great extent. Marin doesn’t know about other places, but in Carter Castle and surrounding villages and towns, maybe he can find someone who can add, subtract, multiply and divide.
It is indeed a difficult thing for a boy, but it is really even more difficult to find an unlucky guy who can't write his own name and is willing to listen to the wind.
In addition, the God of Suffering is also the largest orphanage group in the entire Western Continent. Unlike other church orphanages that select talented orphans, the God of Suffering teaches all children without distinction. As long as they are orphans, as long as they are not alien species, then
I'm afraid you are a monster. As long as you can understand human speech, the orphanage will adopt you.
Therefore, the humanoid elf monks and paladins of the Church of the God of Misery can be said to be the only ones in the entire Western Continent. At least the heads of one flower spirit clan and two tree spirit clans came out of the Orphanage of the God of Misery.
And existences like Bugbear Paladins and Kobold Paladins are also common.
However, this Tina was really beyond Marin's expectations.
It was a kobold girl. When Marin saw this little girl, she obviously cried. However, accompanied by members of the Church of the God of Suffering, she still accepted the sword and the total compensation that Marin brought back.
640 pieces - one of the two warlock heads died in the hands of the girls, and the other should have died in the hands of the elf shooter, so Marin divided the 600 pieces into five parts, and the warrior and healer took 240 of them.
The commission of 1,000 yuan is also divided into five parts, a total of 400 yuan for the two of them.
As for the accident money they insured with the guild, it was naturally not Marin's turn to take care of it.
"The young man who accompanied Tina from the Church of Misery deposited the money in the bank of the Church of the Harvest Goddess without saying a word, and then handed the card into Tina's hand in front of Marin.
Of course, Marin is not worried about someone lining their pockets. It’s not that he believes in these mortals. He just thinks that in a world with a true god, and this true god is likely to be a clone created by their god, I’m afraid it’s really true.
I feel like I can't die fast enough.
Amid the kobold's thanks, Marin sent her and the young man who accompanied her out of the church hall.
While the little guys waiting outside were comforting the little Tina, the young man seemed to notice the melancholy in Marin's heart. He patted Marin on the shoulder: "Mr. Marin, the father of this child is the same as Jack's father."
Growing up in the orphanage of the church, they left when they became adults and then founded this mercenary team... Tina's father died in the war five years ago, Jack's father died in the war the year before last, and now Jack has also died.
Already..."
"...Thank you for clarifying my doubts." Marin nodded to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome, Your Excellency, if nothing happens, I will take Tina home."
"Everything is up to you. If anything happens to Tina in the future, please be sure to contact me. I am carrying the oath I made with Jack. If possible, I will do my best to help this child."
Marin watched the young man leave with the little guy from the church. It wasn't until they were far away that Faye came over and said, "Let's go, we still have some relics to hand back."
Yes, in addition, the heir to the dwarf's relics has also been found - Xingyan helped find it. This dwarf boy is an apprentice of the Church of the God of Dwarf Artisans. His father is the same as Xingyan's father Qingangshi.
Old acquaintance, after hearing about this incident, Qinggangshi specifically decided to accept this boy as his apprentice. It seems that Xingyan's boyfriend has been found.
The metal head of the axe, the helmet and boots that were specially recovered after hearing the story of the dwarves, and 320 yuan in compensation, the boy named Huiyan expressed his gratitude - as a mercenary, his father had already thought about it
His son also knew his own ending, but no one had thought that it would come so quickly.
But at least Marin killed the Chaos who killed his father. After obtaining the helmet and weapons of the Chaos warrior, the boy said that he would purify this as soon as he picked up the craftsman's hammer.
The helmet and sword merged into his first personal battle axe.
Marin also learned at this time that the metal head of his father's ax was also melted from the helmet and sword of the Chaos warrior who killed his father.
The metal head of the ax that Marin brought back will be buried with his father.
A standard dwarf funeral.
The boy also wanted to keep Marin for lunch, but considering the 'dwarf spirits' that the dwarves had that had been modified to look like industrial alcohol, Marin could only escape in embarrassment with the girls.
Finally, there is the halfling. This young thief has no family and comes from the Church of the Wandering God of Halflings. In the end, Marin donated his money to the orphanage run by the Halfling Church. After hearing what Marin said
After all, the Church of the Wandering God decided to name the next ten children admitted to the hospital after the halfling's surname, Three Toes.
After doing all this, Marin went to the hospital to see the elf again, and brought him his musket. Marin had not paid attention to the musket before, and the girls thought it was broken, but the baron entrusted him with it.
Give it to Marin.
His original intention was to give this musket to Marin, because although it was innocent to get two Chaos Warlock heads for 1,200 yuan, after all, Chaos Warlock heads belong to the seller's market, and Marin could double the price difference.
it is also fine.
For the Baron, Marin's lack of counteroffer meant that he owed a favor. The musket seemed still usable, so he simply gave it to Marin.
Then Marin opened the rag outside the musket and found that the musket was very close to the bolt-action rifle of the World War II era, much better than the usual lever rifle.
Hearing that it was an elf, Marin didn't want to take away someone's love and gave it back to the elf.
This made the elf very happy. Although he could not speak due to the previous burning, the elf still expressed his gratitude with gestures.
Marin left his compensation and said goodbye to the elf before choosing to leave.
"By the way, I'm treating you to a big dinner today." Jessica seemed unable to bear such a heavy atmosphere. With her taking the lead, the girls dragged Marin to the north of the city without any explanation.
Marin didn't want to keep a straight face in front of everyone, so he let the girls lead him away.
When passing by Central Avenue, the crowd attracted everyone's attention because they were all wearing church uniforms. The policeman outside was very cooperative and told what happened in the security circle-Michelle's young owner was in the restaurant.
While eating, I was attacked by evil pagans.
"It's been really chaotic lately." Faye shook her head. After following Marin, she glanced at the girls behind her: "Why do I feel that this harvest festival is the longest one in my life and the one with the most things?
."
"Yes, I think so too." The little lamb nodded vigorously and agreed: "Normally, I just watch the seniors being jealous of the seniors, and a week has passed. By the way, where are you, Cross."
"Reading books, doing experiments, and learning spells, the week passed quickly." Cross followed Marin, and when she mentioned this question, she gave an answer that made Marin feel bored.
"Yeah, last year I beat up several guys who wanted to invite me to dance." Jessica rolled her eyes when she said this: "Damn it."
Jessica's words made Marin follow the direction of her gaze, and he happened to see several wolf cubs squatting or standing on the street corner.
Two of them were the pair who were drawn into the cafe by their own street lights a few days ago.
Perhaps it was the arrangement of the goddess of fate. When Marin looked at them, they also looked at Marin.
One of the wolf cubs who was smoking a cigarette was stunned for a moment, then stood up and ran towards Marin: "Jessica!"
"Is this the one you just said was beaten?" Faye asked as she leaned close to Jessica.
"Yes, I think he needs to be beaten again." Jessica frowned.
"Let me do it." Marin saw that the two wolf cubs from last time did not rush over, but grabbed their companions, causing a one-on-one situation between the leading wolf cub and Marin.
In any case, having a heart for survival is not a bad thing.
As Marin thought, he looked around and picked out a street lamp for the potential opponent in front of him.
"Jessica, is this your boyfriend?" The wolf cub ran so fast that when he arrived in front of Marin, he was already panting.
Seeing his aggrieved look with a hint of anger, Marin nodded: "I am their boyfriend."
Now that the girls have agreed, Marin must take responsibility without hesitation.
"You, you are Marin, right?" asked the wolf cub.
"Yes." Marin nodded, and at the same time sighed for this boy's courage - he knew it was me, but he could still be so brave.
Then Marin heard the wolf cub shouting with grief and anger: "I wish you happiness!"
Until this kid ran away and until the wolf pups quickly retreated, Marin still couldn't calm down.
On the other hand, the girls laughed so hard that they couldn't catch their breath.
"What's wrong, Mr. Marin, are you regretting not being able to fight?" Cross asked, facing Marin with a mage's unique thirst for knowledge.
Marin nodded, then shook his head: "I simply think these guys are too spineless."
"I think they are just afraid of death." After speaking, Cross walked beside Marin with a smile: "It's great to meet Mr. Marin. Although there are more dangers in life, but
I feel very happy, thank you."
Seeing the smile on the bunny girl's face, Marin also smiled and stretched out his hand to rub the bunny girl's ears.
Very soft and somewhat fragrant.
The rabbit girl seemed very happy. She ran to Faye with a smile and left Marin with Maya.
The little leopard girl looked at Marin, pursed her lips, and finally stretched out her hand and took Marin's arm.
"elder brother."
"Well, what's the matter?"
The greeting from his sister made Marin a little curious. The little leopard seemed... hesitant to speak.
"Sister Faye invited Maya to go hunting in the paddock in the suburbs, so go hunting." But it was obvious that this little leopard girl couldn't hide her thoughts.
When she said this, Ma Lin naturally nodded: "Brother, go with you and talk to your sister Faye."
So Maya also ran forward happily.
Marin turned his head and looked at Jessica who was walking next to him.
"Sorry for letting you see my embarrassing past." Jessica pursed her lips.
Looking at the wolf girl who was much taller than him, Marin smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his hand and took her hand.
"Everyone has a past, but I feel that the spindle in the hands of the goddess of fate has intertwined the threads of your destiny and mine. It is not for me to see your embarrassment." Looking at the girls in front of him, Marin smiled.
Saying: "Jessica, come with me."
