Don't call me evil god

Chapter 169 Unique Proof Method

After walking through the dirty and impoverished refugee slum and passing countless dilapidated shacks, Hugo, who was leading the way, stopped.

The shed that appeared in front of Pete and the others, no, the building in front of them was not enough to be called a shed. It looked like a few wooden boards stuck in the ground, supporting a "roof" made of broken branches, vines and leaves.

This shabby shed could only provide some shade from the sun. In the shade below, half-lying was a middle-aged woman with a pale face and thin body, who looked obviously malnourished for a long time.

Hugo gathered his emotions, put on a heavy expression and walked forward.

When the middle-aged woman heard the voice, opened her eyes and saw Hugo, she did not find the familiar figure beside him. She was panicked at first, and then she seemed to realize something and began to become sad.

"He...he didn't come back?"

The woman's voice was hoarse and desperate.

Hugo didn't say anything, but silently took out a small purse from his pocket.

"70 silver coins. Sorry, please accept my condolences. At least please cherish the things he left for you."

"You still have two children to take care of. Life is hard, but you still have to go on."

"May the gods bless you."

Tears couldn't stop flowing from the middle-aged woman's rough, wrinkled face, and she let out a sob of despair.

She knew very well what it meant to get 70 silver coins.

Or.

When her husband and the father of her children signed the contract with Hugo, she was actually mentally prepared.

If ordinary people go to the Dark Forest, isn't that just seeking death?
This blood-stained gold coin was his final contribution to his family.

But when everything really happened, the pain of losing her loved ones was still too much for her to bear.

……

Just when the middle-aged woman was overwhelmed by grief and cried uncontrollably.

Pete shouted with a strange look on his face.

"lady."

Tears were still streaming down the middle-aged woman's face, but she tried hard to cheer herself up.

"Your Excellency, wu——, what do you want to talk to me about?"

There is no weakness in the life of refugees. As Hugo said, even if their loved ones leave, they still have to live on.

No matter how sad she was now, in a while, she would have to borrow the fire from the refugee camp to boil a bowl of hot water for the two children who were scavenging outside, so that they could make some oatmeal, leftovers or something.

"Well, Madam, please calm down for a moment and get ready, okay?"

Pete tried to lay the groundwork a little.

The woman smiled miserably and said, "Sir, please tell me whatever you want to say. I can bear it."

"He gave me a chance to live, and I will cherish it."

Pete was a little worried at first. After the great sorrow and then the great joy, the strong emotional stimulation might send these refugees with poor health away directly.

Seeing the strong look of the middle-aged woman, Pete breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that she has a good psychological endurance.

Should be able to accept the shock of the news.

"Your husband is not dead."

Concise and concise.

The woman's response was straightforward:
It took me half a minute to realize what Pete meant.

His eyes rolled back, his limbs stiffened, and he fainted!
Gail, who was standing next to Pete, was shocked: "Miranda! She needs treatment!"

Subconsciously, she called out Miranda's name, but after she had said it, she realized that Miranda stayed in the Misty Valley and did not come with them. The goblin Hugo also reacted quickly. He took out a small bottle of red potion from his clothes and carefully helped the middle-aged woman to drink a small sip.

As the potion took effect, the woman slowly woke up.

Gradually regaining consciousness, her mind returned to what Pete had just said, and the expression on her face was still painful:
"Sir, there is no need to comfort me in this way. I know that he went to a haunted place like the Dark Forest and can't come back."

With the constant preaching of the church and the king, it has long been known that the Dark Forest is a forbidden place for ordinary people.

The middle-aged woman, like Hugo, was unwilling to believe what Pete said.

There was no other choice but to use his ultimate move.

[Pete Chinal: Sir, is there anything that only you and your wife know that can be used as a code to prove that you are still alive? I need evidence to convince your wife! ]

The emergence of the magic of instant messenger has greatly facilitated communication among the believers of the Church of Knowledge.

Ignore time and space.

One party sends, the other party receives immediately.

For example, in this case, Pete quickly received a reply from the woman's husband.

After reading the reply, Pete looked strange.

He came forward and whispered in the woman's ear:
"Your husband said that the first time you two had sex was under a tree near the river next to the village. He lifted you up in his arms, put your legs on his shoulders, and let your back lean against the tree trunk, and then..."

The woman's face suddenly turned red.

Pete was too embarrassed to describe everything the other party had sent.

"I want to prove to you that your husband is really still alive and that I am communicating with him now."

As Pete spoke, he silently chanted a spell and rubbed out a ball of light called [Illumination] in his hand.

"I'm a wizard, and some magic that can communicate with people over long distances makes sense."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask me anything that only you two know. I can tell you accurately, which is enough to prove that I am communicating with him."

"Being able to communicate, does that mean he's still alive and well?"

The woman's originally desperate eyes suddenly became bright:
"Is he really still alive?"

Pete nodded: "More real than the pearls in the king's crown!"

"Where is he?!" the woman asked impatiently.

Finally getting to the point, Pete quickly explained: "That's right, this is why we came to you."

"Although your husband entered the Dark Forest, thanks to our efforts, he has now successfully opened up an unowned territory in the wilderness."

"It's safe there now."

"Your husband asked me to pass a message to you and your children, asking you to come back with us and reunite with him. He said that this place will become your new home."

"Please rest assured, I can guarantee that I will do my best to protect your safety and let you..."

Before Pete could finish his promise, the middle-aged woman agreed firmly:

"I do!!!"

The news that her husband was still alive was a huge surprise to her.

The middle-aged woman never considered the possibility that Pete had lied to her.

She is poor and miserable now and has almost nothing. Is there any need for the noble wizard to lie to her?
So she responded to Pete's recruitment without hesitation!
Next to him, the goblin Hugo, who witnessed it all, was almost dumbfounded.

How come it seems that those refugees he had signed contracts with and recruited...are still alive?!
what?
That's what Pete had been telling him.

Are they all true?!
