Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"It's not excessive. You have the right to ask for monetary rewards."

Shining has met all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of strange things. She nodded and agreed to Ji Luo's request.

"The Blood Demon Lord holds a high position in the Sarkaz. You will definitely be retaliated against in the future. I think... 10 million Dragon Gate coins is justified."

"This price is fine. I accept it."

Ji Luo was shocked by Shining's bid. He thought he would try to bargain for the price, but he didn't expect the Sarkaz girl to be so generous.

"Next, let's talk about the price of the five pardoners. We must drive them away."

"One million...Longmen coins, how about that?"

Shining didn't know whether this price was appropriate. After all, the Pardoners were already top combat forces in Kazdel. If five of them appeared at the same time, it would be more than enough to destroy a city.

"Okay, that's settled."

Ji Luo had no intention of asking for money, so he agreed readily. Lin Guang stood aside and did not interrupt, but he was also shocked by the figure of 11 million.

"Let's talk about it later. You two are so badly injured. I want to cure you completely. How much do you want me to pay?"

"..."

Shining and Lin Guang looked at each other and didn't say anything like "let's treat our own injuries". In their current state, if Ji Luo really left them alone, the three of them would most likely die at the hands of the wandering Sarkaz mercenaries.

"One hundred thousand Longmen coins, okay?"

"Okay, I'm not the kind of person who only cares about money!"

Ji Luo was smiling very happily at this time, because his plan of spreading bait had been completed, and the next step was to collect the net.

"Finally, the girl you're carrying seems to be in a very bad condition. How about I cure her and you give me 8.9 million Longmen coins?"

"..."

Shining had been on guard against Ji Luo from the beginning to the end. But at this moment, when Ji Luo pointed at Nightingale and said casually that he could cure her, Shining was finally moved.

"Do you really have a way to cure her?"

"Of course, I am also sure that no one in this world can cure her except me."

Ji Luo could feel that someone had implanted the "Fissure of the Star of Evil" into Nightingale's body. Her weak body and soul did not turn into a corrosive body, all thanks to her special Originium skills.

"My price is fair to everyone."

"I owe you a total of 20 million Longmen coins!"

Shining no longer considered it and directly accepted the huge debt. Ji Luo nodded with satisfaction, showing an expectant expression.

"Then...the 20 million, is it in cash or by bank transfer?"

"Well……"

Lin Guang is not a person who values ​​money very much. To be honest, Ji Luo’s ability to convert his life-saving grace into money relieved the girl of the pressure.

But a new problem arose. The Linguang family had long been in decline, and it was impossible for them to come up with such a huge sum of 20 million.

"We don't have that much money right now. Can you give us a little more time? Don't worry, we will definitely give you every penny in the future."

"I have the same idea as Lin Guang."

In order to demonstrate his ability to repay, Shining rarely patted the sword in his hand, apparently using his own strength as a guarantee.

"Indeed, 20 million Longmen coins is a bit too much. It is difficult for ordinary people to collect them immediately."

Ji Luo touched his chin and made a thoughtful expression.

"So, how long are you prepared to owe me?"

"..."

Shining and Lin Guang stood side by side. Both of them were considered to be extremely powerful in Terra, but their ability to make money was a complete mess.

Without any capital, they were asked to earn 20 million yuan from scratch. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

“This…this…”

Shining didn't even know how to answer Ji Luo. She certainly believed that she and Lin Guang could earn 20 million, but the question was how long it would take.

Can she now say to Ji Luo, based on the rate at which we both make money, it will be enough for you to wait until a thousand years later?

"Alas, it's not easy for everyone. How about this... you can give me one-fifth first. It's not too much, right?"

"..."

Shining also wanted to give Ji Luo a positive answer, but the three of them had a total of several thousand dollars in their pockets, so she was embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Ji Luo, can you treat Liz's injury first? I will get the money for you as soon as possible."

"Uh... tell me the truth, how much money do you have now? One tenth of it, at least."

Ji Luo looked at the two people who were silent with their heads down, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask a soul-searching question.

"Lin Guang, you guys don't want to take advantage of me for free, do you?"

Chapter 156: I accept paying my debt with my body

Facing Ji Luo's life-saving grace, Lin Guang and Shan Ling certainly would not be stingy with money, but the problem now is that they have no money...

"For free? No, I don't have that idea!"

Lin Guang knew that freeloading was not something that could be said casually. However, facing Ji Luo's harmless gaze, the Kuranta girl still tried her best to calm down.

"Ji Luo, we will definitely give you the money, but we don't have it yet."

"Well, I'm willing to trust Casimir's Brilliant Knight, but... you have to give me a deposit!"

"As for the deposit... I can give it! Um... can you give me a little less?"

Lin Guang's health was not good to begin with, and the embarrassment of owing money but not being able to pay it back made her cheeks turn red.

"We only have less than 10,000 Longmen coins in our hands right now. We can give them all to you!"

"My life is also my life! I risked my life to save you, and I only get ten thousand... and it's not even enough?"

Ji Luo made an expression of disbelief. He didn't say anything harsh, but just sighed.

"Forget it, I admit it."

"Don't! Don't admit it! We will definitely give you 20 million! It's just... it may take a little longer."

Lin Guang had no intention of defaulting on the debt, nor did she feel that they were at a loss by giving Ji Luo so much money.

After all, that was the Blood Demon Lord of the Sarkaz. Being able to survive from his hands was already an unimaginable miracle.

"Don't worry, within two years... no, within one year! We will give you at least two million, how about that?"

"What? What can I do?"

Ji Luo had a dejected expression on his face, as if his stocks and funds had been cut in half.

"Terra is such a big world. If you just hide anywhere, I won't be able to find you. How can I ask you to pay me back?"

"No! No way! How about this... I'll stay with you until you pay off your debt! How about that?"

Lin Guang was completely desperate to gain Ji Luo's trust. The three of them were now desperate. If Ji Luo didn't help, they might really die here.

Since there is no choice, then just don't leave any room for it and try your best to survive first.

Of course, Lin Guang also had a little trick up her sleeve here. She said that 'she' had been following Ji Luo without bringing Shining and Nightingale along. This verbal trap left room for maneuver.

However, Ji Luo heard the loophole in Lin Guang's words. Instead of negotiating with Lin Guang, he turned his attention to Shining.

"What about you?"

"I... would like to do the same."

Facing Ji Luo's calm gaze, Shining hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

In any case, they are at least guaranteed to survive. Even if Ji Luo tears off his disguise in the future and has bad intentions towards them, they can still fight to the death after recovering from their injuries.

"Ji Luo, we can be your bodyguard and doctor for 50,000 Longmen coins a month."

"..."

Ji Luo did not give an answer immediately, because there was a big difference between Lin Guang and Shining's words.

Lin Guang followed him as collateral for the "borrowed money", while Shining worked for him and was limited to being a guard and doctor, with no other requirements.

"As for me, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. How about this? You guys become my subordinates. The three of you together can earn 100,000 Dragon Gate coins a month. How do you think?"

"Twenty months to pay it off..."

Although Shining still couldn't figure out Ji Luo's background, according to her observation and feeling, Ji Luo had no ill intentions and didn't seem like a wicked person.

Guards and doctors can naturally refuse Ji Luo's requests outside of work. But this vague concept of subordinates will greatly change their journey to repay their debts.

Shining hesitated for a moment, but finally made her choice. She turned her head and looked at Lin Guang, and the Kuranta girl also nodded slightly.

"Ji Luo, we can be your subordinates for twenty months, but you must cure Nightingale's illness as soon as possible."

"Okay, I need to make some preparations, and I'll start treating her in a week at most."

"Then...deal."

Shining didn't ask Ji Luo what to prepare. Her attitude of keeping to her duty made her very appealing.

"Okay, that's settled."

Ji Luo didn't say anything about swearing or signing a contract. He just raised his hand and clapped his hands with Shining and Lin Guang respectively.

Ji Luo was very happy after successfully tricking three new operators, but he had to hold back on the surface so as not to arouse suspicion.

"Now, let me treat your injuries first."

Ji Luo summoned a ball of holy flame with each hand and released two "Star Grace W" at the same time. The holy flame with healing effect was slowly injected into the bodies of the two people.

As a healer, Shining had never seen Ji Luo's Originium skills before. She closed her eyes and tried to feel the effect of Ji Luo's treatment carefully.

However, the power of the Star Holy Flame was too extraordinary. Shining and Lin Guang only felt a burst of warmth, and their whole body felt as comfortable as if they were soaking in a hot spring.

Later, when they both opened their eyes again, all the wounds on their bodies had healed, without any scars left.

What’s even more amazing is that the two of them felt that their conditions had fully recovered to their peak, and they had the illusion that they could kill a bull with one punch.

"Well, how do you feel?"

Ji Luo was very confident in the healing effect of the Holy Flame, so he was sure of the answer when he asked the question.

Shining looked at Ji Luo in amazement, no longer doubting that he could cure Nightingale.

"Thank you, we are back to normal."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Ji Luo snapped his fingers and activated the power of space again, instantly arriving two kilometers away.

Rumble~!

Under the rain clouds that covered the sky, the azure lightning was as dense as ever. Five pardoners from the Sarkaz Royal Court struggled hard in the dense lightning strikes and barely resisted Chen's attack.

At this time, Chen had completely adapted to her ability to control thunderclouds. The power of nature was as tamed as a pet in her hands, and every attack sent a sound that shook the earth.

"Chen, that's enough, stop for a moment."

Ji Luo stood at the edge of the pit created by the lightning and stopped Chen from thinking of killing the five people. The dragon girl heard Ji Luo's call and flashed back to his side.

"Ji Luo, are you just going to let them go like this?"

"The status of the Pardoner in Kazdel is not low. Killing five of them at once is very troublesome~"

Ji Luo looked at the five Sarkaz whose faces were hidden in their hoods, and when he spoke of killing them all, his tone was as if he was killing a few dogs.

"The Blood Demon Lord has already gone back, so the rest of you should stop being so shameless and leave now."

"..."

The five pardoners did not retort to Ji Luo's words. The Sarkaz respected the strong, and they were already losing ground against the cheating Chen, and their lives were in danger.

At this moment, the enemy has added Ji Luo who can move in space. What qualifications do they have to talk nonsense?

"Your kindness will be repaid in the future."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Ji Luo didn't care about the other party's sarcasm at all. He waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation.
