Why am I a full-level time traveler, Miss Priest?

"I met Cyril in an adventure commission on the edge of the Demon Mountains. At that time, he was betrayed by his accomplices. He was seriously injured and dying after being hunted down by monsters. He fell into a coma in the forest. Now that I met him, I definitely couldn't just ignore him. , saved him, and later found out that he was from the notorious [Ghost Thieves Group], and he was a shameful poacher."

"There are not many people who know about this matter, only the boy in the regiment, a few trusted companions, and me, when Cyril confessed to me, I wanted to drive him away... But those guys desperately After pleading and getting along with him for a while, I found that Cyril's nature is not bad, but he went astray when he took the wrong path in his early years, so I allowed him to stay."

"I have three chapters with Cyril. First, you must not have any further contact with those dirty poachers. Second, you must not engage in any form of theft, robbery, or indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Third, you must not betray your companions and sell friends for glory. Otherwise, I will kill him under the shield with my own hands."

Lester turned around, a gentle smile appeared on his face that had experienced many vicissitudes.

"But how should I put it, that kid really didn't disappoint me, at least for more than a year, he really did everything he agreed to, even growing his hair long and changing his appearance so that those former accomplices couldn't recognize him he comes."

"Um..."

Although Lester said so, Miss Pastor didn't know what to answer, so she could only use this response to show that she was listening.

The head of the group didn't care about the girl's perfunctory attitude, he looked at Wei Lisi with slightly vigilant eyes, his face was dignified and serious.

"Cyril was indeed a poacher in the past, but who wouldn't make a few mistakes in life... Well, I don't know what is Miss Willis' plan for coming here to bring up this matter?"

It seems that I was misunderstood... At this time, it would be too much to pretend or lie. Now that Lester has been verified as a trustworthy friend, Miss Pastor no longer hides it, and roughly describes the news she inquired from Lan.

"So it was done by the Ghost Thieves? Hmm... Those guys are indeed a bunch of bottomless scum among poachers. No wonder... So Miss Willis wanted to use Cyril as a clue to find them." Are they right?"

Lester pondered, and Willis nodded bluntly.

"Well, this is the easiest way at the moment, otherwise I can only go to the Sanctuary's Mansion and put Taylor Tours's head on a stick to force him to confess, but you know, I am usually not happy to use violence .”

The corner of the leader's mouth twitched a few times.

"Is that a question of violence or not? Do you regard the City Lord's Mansion as a tourist attraction or a back garden at home... Forget it, for your sake, I'll make an exception, but I have to ask Cyril for his opinion on this matter. If he doesn't want to, then I can't help it."

"Yeah, we're not the type who like to force others to do things, right? I understand, so let's call that guy over now?"

.................................... ..

"Yes, as long as the leader nods, I have no objection."

Unexpectedly, before Miss Willis showed her affection and courtesy as planned, Slanted Liu Hai readily agreed to her request.

"Are you sure, Cyril? You must know that if what Miss Willis said is true, the Ghost Thieves Group is now at the center of a huge turmoil. You should know what it means to look for them. Even so, do you still choose to join it?"

He didn't seem to care that Wei Lisi's second daughter was watching, and Lester persuaded him with a serious face.

"Captain, I understand what you mean, it's nothing more than the fact that the Ghost Thief Group's old profession has provoked public anger this time."

Slanting bangs with a big sword on his back, he turned his gaze to the dark sky outside the house, and smiled lightly.

"I did a lot of messy things in the past. It wasn't until I joined the mercenary group and became an adventurer that I understood the meaning of survival and companionship. Poachers are just a group of desperadoes driven by profit. They make profits by wantonly hurting others. They should have been sanctioned long ago."

"But this city is such a bastard. Not only do those high officials not banish the villains who do evil, but they also cover up and condone in every possible way. Instead, they target the real adventurers everywhere."

"I don't know what the nobles of the United Kingdom and the town of Demon Town are thinking about, and why they target monsters so much, and even collude with poachers."

"I, Cyril, am just a small person. I don't understand so many reasons, but if you like it, you like it, and if you hate it, you hate it. If you have the opportunity to let those sanctimonious and disgusting guys eat you up, why not risk your life?"

He pushed up the obliquely hanging bangs, revealing a deep and hideous scar on his forehead that almost split his right eye in half, and the gleam of hatred in his eyes flashed away.

"It's just right, I have some old debts, and I have long wanted to settle them."

Chapter 398 : Chapter 26: Last words?

The negotiation went more smoothly than expected. At noon, the two of Wei Lisi walked out of the gate of the residence with the slanted bangs that were temporarily lent to them.

Of course, in order to avoid trouble, the [Cognitive Impairment Mask] must have been put on again, and Wei Lisi also spent a lot of effort to make Slanted Liu Hai reluctantly understand that she is the same person before and after wearing the mask.

"By the way, how do we find someone? Do you have any secret contact points in the city?"

Slanted bangs held the big sword and glanced at Wei Lisi, although probably because of old grudges, she still didn't give her a good look, but she still answered honestly.

"There were indeed similar things before, but if you think about it with your feet, you can tell that after that incident, the Ghost Thieves must have closed it or replaced it with a hidden location. If you go to the old place, there is a high probability that you won't find anything, or you will crash into the trap like a stupid bird."

"Who do you call a stupid bird?"

A certain dragon lady turned her head with a bad expression, but her master smiled helplessly and raised her hand to stop her.

Wei Lisi wasn't annoyed at being choked up, she wasn't naive enough to compete with a guy with slanted bangs, as long as the other party could handle things well.

"What you said makes sense, then, according to what you mean, there are other ways?"

"Well, the contact location must have been abandoned, but we can find someone directly, but we can only say try our best, after all, I haven't contacted her for a long time... Also, next time, don't say 'you ghost bandit group', I have nothing to do with that group of scum."

"Okay, okay, you say yes~"

Slanted Liu Hai took Wei Lisi's second daughter around the city, and soon walked into an area similar to a slum.

The structure of slums is unavoidable in any medieval feudal country, especially in a system with nobles. After all, the existence of nobles symbolizes the gap between rich and poor and class. Even if the country itself does not set up similar areas, with the As cities evolve and develop, poor people spontaneously gather in areas with lower land prices, and slums naturally appear.

Here, too.

Dilapidated wooden houses, sloppy earthen walls, cheap mended clothes hanging on hangers at the door, the economic depression brought about by the city blockade seems to be particularly evident here, except that they are not familiar with the world, chasing dirty toys In addition to the smiles on the faces of the children running around, the adults who are idle at home are almost all sad.

Especially when the lady priest with a bright white robe and a noble temperament passed by, she cast eyes full of negative emotions such as envy, jealousy, resentment and greed.

Obviously, they are all unlucky people who have temporarily lost their jobs and sources of income due to the turbulent situation.

Even if she didn't deliberately dress up, Wei Lisi's clean and white priest's robe was enough to be regarded as a symbol of wealth in their eyes.

And hatred of the rich is an unavoidable psychology for most poor people.

Seemingly noticing that Wei Lisi was also watching those poor people, she slanted her bangs lightly, and walked without looking back.

"Why, didn't you expect there to be such a place in Town Demon City?"

"Ok?"

Miss Priest, who was looking around curiously, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this guy probably regarded them as some kind of young lady's tour group.

That's right, apart from the obviously expensive white robe and noble temperament, Wei Lisi's presumptuous and self-willedness, as if she was not afraid of the sky and the earth, can easily be regarded as some nobles with deep background and pampered Miss.

Without deliberately correcting this point, Wei Lisi just gently held the soft and slender palm of Xiaolong Niang beside her, and nodded casually.

"It's indeed a little surprising. At least in the City of Courage, I rarely see areas that are so poor, even though the conditions in most villages and towns are much better than this."

"It turns out that they came from the capital, no wonder... I don't know much about the situation in other cities, but in Zhenmo City, there are more slums than the one you see now."

After hesitating for a while, Liu Hai said in a low voice without looking back.

"Do you know why the profession of poachers appeared?... No one wants to become a criminal out of nowhere, and end up in this kind of life. Most of the original intentions are because they don't have enough to eat, they don't have warm clothes, and they are forced to have nowhere to go. That's all."

"As far as I know, at least 80.00% of the poachers in this town come from the slums. Most of them are lone wolves who have lost their parents and have no relatives. , just because they have seen and endured too much cruelty in the process of growing up, they will transfer this injustice and malice to others, such as monsters."

As if afraid of being misunderstood, he slanted his bangs and tilted his head slightly, looked at the two beautiful girls who were still expressionless behind him, took a deep breath and said.

"I know this, because I was one of them myself, and telling you this is not to offend the poachers... The leader... is the benefactor who saved me from the wrong path. He believes in you, so I am willing to believe it."

"I don't know what you are going to do. I just want to tell you that the poachers themselves are unforgivable, but they are not the root of the city's evil. Those who gather wealth and force everyone to desperation, some people above, And the deformed prejudices of this city and country are the soil that really breeds evil, and if you really have the power to change the situation, please don't forget this whenever you want."

Wei Lisi raised her eyebrows a little funny.

"Why do your words sound weird, as if you are telling your last words?"

"Humph……."

Although the expression became a little unhappy, the slanted bangs who had always had a bad temper surprisingly did not refute her, but turned his head again, facing forward.

"I just want to make clear what I have to say and what I want to say in advance, so that if there is a battle, there will be no entanglements or regrets. After all, the Ghost Thieves Group has always been mysterious, and many of the high-level intelligence, even me, an insider It's so clear, who can tell what's going to happen?"

"But don't worry, since Commander Lester has entrusted you to me, if something really happens, even if you lose this little life, I will definitely try my best to protect you from getting out safely."

"Oh? Hmm~ Then I'll count on you, little warrior."

Someone pretended to show a deeply moved expression on purpose, but the slanted bangs did not give any further expression, which made the pastor who wanted to tease him feel a little boring.

Proceeding along the slums, finally, a group of three stopped in front of a wooden house that was indistinguishable from other houses in the depths.

"It's here, don't interrupt for a while, don't do unnecessary things, just listen quietly by the side, understand?"

Wei Lisi did not respond to the oblique bangs immediately, but looked curiously at the old wooden door that was closed tightly, because in her perception, the hut should be empty and there was no one inside.

Slanted Liu Hai stepped forward and reached out to tap.

It's not the kind of random knocking without any rules, but according to a certain pattern—it's not rigorous, and it's not easy to detect, but it's still noticed by Wei Lisi, who is deliberately discerning.

After knocking for a long time, there was no movement in the room, and although Slanted Liu Hai looked a little confused, he didn't seem discouraged, so he kept knocking on the door with that kind of strange pattern.

The slum area is not as crowded as the outside world, and the wooden house where Wei Lisi and others are located is already the closest to the deepest part of the entire area, and there are few people. No one who is nosy will come up to ask questions, which is easy.

After about 2 minutes, the faint sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the very slight sound of wooden boards opening and closing, finally reached the ears of the pastor.

Chapter 399: Chapter 27: Irene

To be honest, the person who came to open the door was a bit unexpected to Wei Lisi. It was not a vicious and thick man, but a girl with short gray hair who was dressed in simple civilian clothes and looked about the same age as Slanted Bangs. She had a gentle face, although not very The country is beautiful, but it is quite handsome, and it is at least above average according to the average human level.

For some reason, she seemed a little excited, and slammed the door open quite vigorously, but when she saw the two daughters, Slanted Bangs and Wei Lisi, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shrank back, a little vigilantly timid. soundtrack.

"Who are you? What's the matter?"

Willis could notice that her gaze had been vaguely glancing at the big sword behind the slanted bangs, probably because it was the only weapon among the three of them that seemed to be carrying, or for some other reason.

Seeing her, the slanted bangs became a little...excited, but it seemed that she was trying to suppress the feelings that wanted to burst out, so she only suppressed her composure and replied in a low voice.

"Irene, long time no see, I'm really glad to see you are well."

"Eh? You, you are...?"

Without saying anything, the oblique bangs just lifted up the long hair that covered half of the eyes, revealing the entire face and the vicious scar on the forehead, and smiled miserably.

"You!!... Cyril?! Is it really you, Cyril? You are still alive!!!"

The vigilance and vigilance disappeared in an instant, and the girl named Irene covered her mouth with her hands, tears came out of her eyes, and then hugged her oblique bangs forcefully, almost incoherent with excitement.

"I, I thought you were dead! They all said you were dead! You died in the mountains of demons, in the hands of monsters! It's been a year, you know? I've been living in despair for a whole year! Cyril, you bastard, since you're not dead, why did you come to me now!!!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Erin, I... I miss you too, but I can't come to you. This will violate the agreement between me and the leader, and I am also afraid that after meeting you, I will not be able to restrain the urge to revenge , Harm others and yourself, you know, I am..."

The slanted bangs also seemed to be a little helpless, so he just hugged Irene tightly in his arms, explaining intermittently in distress.

Hey, there is something tricky, these two...

Although it felt a bit wicked to interrupt the two of them at this time, Wei Lisi didn't come here to watch their emotional drama, so she coughed a few times and asked a question on purpose.

"She is the one you said, who can lead us to find the Ghost Thieves?"

"what!"

With Miss Priest interrupting her, the two of them finally broke away from their long-lost reunion. Irene, who realized that there were still people watching, quickly broke away from her oblique bangs and turned her head blushingly. The latter also touched her nose in embarrassment. Turning to Willis and Xiaolongniang.

"Hey, let me introduce you. This is Irene, who grew up in a poor area. Our parents used to be good friends, but they passed away very early. Irene and I are almost dependent on each other, and we came here with mutual support. You can regard her as my younger sister."

"younger sister?"

Wei Lisi looked at the awkward two people with a strange expression, but she didn't care too much about this topic. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship they have, Miss Priest, what Wei Lisi cares about is whether she can pass the call of Ai. Lin's girl achieves her goal.

"Cough... All in all, it's a long story, Irene, is it safe inside? We need a place to discuss things."

"Ah? But Cyril, they just said they were here to find..."

"Call me Cyril, I don't plan to use that name anymore."

Slanted bangs gently touched the girl's short gray hair, with a pampering smile on her face.

"Eileen, do you trust me?"

The girl froze for a moment, and then slapped away the hand with slanted bangs, seeming sullen.

"What stupid things are you talking about, Siri... No, Cyril, right? How could I not trust you? Rather, if I can't even trust you, who else can I trust in this world? I understand what you mean, come in."

With the three of Wei Lisi, Irene turned back and entered the house, and then locked the wooden door again.

The interior of this wooden house is as dilapidated as the outside, and what can be called furniture is quite limited, a wooden bed, wooden tables and chairs that reveal the sense of age, and a simple hearth built with bricks, that's all.

"Irene, why are you paying back here... I remember you should have kept a lot of money at home... Could it be that those bastards gave it all...?!"

The gray-haired girl gently grabbed the man's hand and shook her head.

"Okay, Cyril, don't always be so angry. No one bullies me. I still keep the money. It was saved by you at the risk of your life, and its source... In short, if you I can do it now if I want to..."

Slanted bangs opened his mouth, and the anger on his face gradually subsided, and then he became a little ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Irene, you're right, whether it was before or now. I have already understood that poachers are indeed bastards' work, and those dirty money... find a way to deal with it if you have a chance."

"...Let's not talk about this, let me tell you what happened in the first place."
