Gold coin is justice

"Huh~~"

Airo lights the oil lamp to light up the bar on the first floor.Napa continued to lie on the bar, not even looking at the little girl who was sitting on the chair with a restrained expression.

"President, the door is closed."

Bradra lifted the hitch and held Parfie to stand behind Airo.

Ai Luo sat on the dining chair with a smile on his face and looked at the girl carefully from top to bottom.

She looked a little timid.

The small body hides in the wide robe, which has a somewhat unmatched feeling, which further highlights the child's short stature.

Two skinny legs came out from under the robe, and the dirty feet were superimposed on each other as if shy, and the toes were bent.

A pair of small hands grasped the tattered tree branch, but didn't know how to place the two hands in general, sometimes retracted, sometimes placed behind him.

After a long silence, Brad brought a cup of hot water.After taking a sip, Ai Luo finally stood up, and the corner of his mouth was slightly tilted: "Necromancer? He is very young, and his magic is quite strong."

Napa yawned and continued to sleep on her stomach.

But the whole person shuddered, the small branch in his hand turned suddenly, and the thinner side tremblingly aimed at Ai Luo.

The combination of Buffy and Brad continued to maintain that expression full of question marks.If Buffy doesn't understand it, it's fine, but Brad smiled cheerfully, with an expression that he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"I... I am not... Necromancer... Sir... You admit your mistake... Human..."

With a weak and scared voice coming from the little girl's mouth, her gaze also turned involuntarily, not daring to look in Ai Luo's direction again.

Ai Luo got up, poured a cup of hot water in person and walked over to put it in her arms.But the little girl looked so stiff, Airo could only gently drag her to the dining table and sit down, putting hot water in front of her.

"No one has taught you that the most important thing when telling lies is to sincerely believe that the lie you tell is not a lie?"

Ai Luo took a sip of the hot water in his hand, turned his head and told Brad to bring some hot milk.Soon, the hot milk was in front of Coco. The little girl stared at the liquid in the cup with wide eyes, and swallowed involuntarily.

"I admit that I am a Necromancer and I will not treat you like that. I am a member of the Magic Department. I don't have so many prejudices."

Perhaps it was the warm milk in front of her that made the little girl relax her guard.Or maybe it was Airo's voice that was full of gentleness.

After Coco raised his head and glanced timidly at the president's brother, he finally had the courage to release his right hand and grab the cup and take a sip.

After a bite, the little girl licked her lips covered with milky white liquid, took the cup in one breath, and drank the milk in the cup.

"Hehe. Brad, go get some more to eat. (fairy whisper) Buffy, another glass of milk, and some floral fragrance."

It didn't take long for Coco to put a pile of bread and baked eggs left over from dinner in front of Coco, and Buffy poured a glass of milk for her, embellishing the aroma.

Facing the big meal in front of her, Coco finally didn't hold back anymore, and finally put down the dead branch with her other hand and grabbed the bread and milk with both hands.

After taking two bites carefully, and seeing that Aylor had no objection at all, he let go of it completely and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Ai Luo did not speak, but continued to smile and watch the little girl eat.

Brad next to him remained silent and did not ask questions.But Buffy, the flower fairy couldn't help it, and asked: "(Fairy Talk) What is the origin of this child?"

Ai Luo glanced at Buffy, then at the question mark on Brad's face, but with a non-questioning expression, smiled——

"Well, I have to tell you anyway. This kid is a magician, and the faction he uses belongs to the necromancer faction in terms of magic classification."

Hearing Airo talking to the flower monster in another language, Coco's head lifted from the food pile, and his eyes showed a curious color.But in the end she couldn't resist the smell of the food and continued to bury her head in the bread pile.

"In this world, some people have a certain degree of magic affinity from the time they were born. Different races have different degrees of magic affinity. Just like Buffy, each member of your flower monster clan will have magic affinity. For human beings, I am afraid that only one percent, one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth of people will have magic affinity."

"These people with magic affinity can become magicians if they undergo a little systematic magic training. Although magicians have many detailed classifications in this world, in the most fundamental situation, magic belongs to A force of nature. Since it is a force of nature, there are only two basic categories of magic."

"One kind, with the most classification and the broadest, is collectively referred to as life magic. Whether it is the flame system, thunder and lightning system, earth system, blessing system, etc., it can be regarded as a kind of life magic."

"The other kind is death magic that corresponds to life magic. Curse, that is, death, pain, so that driving the dead belongs to death magic."

After explaining them in two languages, Airo looked confused at the expressions of Brad and Buffy.

He thought for a while, decided to correct the concepts of the two before the two misunderstandings about the necromancers, and then said--

"Because we are living humans, most of the magic affinity is biased towards life magic. Only a very small number of people will have an affinity for the power of death magic. And it is precisely because of the fear of death that humans have At that time, I was also concerned about the characteristics of necromancers that can drive the dead, and there was prejudice and fear of necromancers, and even thought that necromancers were inherently evil, the opposite of life magic."

"But in fact, fundamentally speaking, life magic and death magic are both natural magic. Death is an inescapable part of life and part of the life process. Life is also a part of death, which can give death more meaning. Lost Neither the life of death nor the death of life lost can exist independently. The two are mutually reinforcing."

"So, I hope that the two will not have any prejudice against the necromancer, and there is no need to label someone because of the words'necromancer' or'death magic'. So, two Can you understand it?"

Buffy sat on Brad’s shoulders, shaking her feet and smilingly said: “(Fairy language) So you humans have so much research on magic? I have no opinion. After all, I don’t know how many plants have been born and Died."

Brad touched the back of his head and looked at Coco there with a smile: "Although I don't know such complicated things, I think the chairman is right. If people live, they must die, so death is indeed Part of your life, right? So, I won't discriminate against you, don't worry, huh."

The bread, eggs, and milk in front of Coco were all eaten up, and the little girl’s lips were covered with crumbs.

But her ears were standing upright, and after eating and drinking, she once again condensed the appearance of a starving ghost and became restrained again.

However, the look in her eyes looking at Ai Luo was no longer so scared.

"...I...I'm not that amazing...My magic... is still weak..."

Good progress.At least the child admits that he is indeed an affinity for death magic.

Now that I think about it, I am really lucky to be able to enter the Old Tengshu Academy!It’s lucky to be able to read books about magic!But now it's not self-declaration that these theories are all memorized from books.

"Too weak?"

Ai Luo suppressed the excitement in his heart, the expression on his face still had that kind of invisible faint smile——

"The soldiers of our guild may not have experienced systematic training, but your undead soldiers have light steps and excellent swordsmanship. This is not the reason why the magic is too weak."

"That's not what I called!"

Coco yelled out involuntarily, but maybe she realized that her voice was too loud, she became cowered again, timidly grabbed the dead branch and pinched it in her hand, and whispered——

"I... I... a long time ago... summoned it... But, I later found out... I couldn't dispel... the magic... the chairman... You just saw... that thing... it just... Want to kill me..."

This is indeed true.

Ai Luo closed his eyes for a moment, nodded and said, "Um...really. As far as I know, necromancers are rare in the magician community. You should be studying in a magic school at your age. But Cocoa, why did you show up near Pelican Town?"

"me……"

Coco lowered his head again, his eyes turned away because he was not good at lying.The eyeballs kept turning, obviously trying to think of a lie that he could overcome.

"I...I'm here... to travel..."

Unfortunately, the practice skills of lying are still too low.

However, Airo began to worry a little about his own thoughts. Does this idea of ​​feeling that the other party's lies are too unqualified means that he has become a liar?

...Forget it.

"Traveling? Then the magic is out of control?"

Coco shrank his neck and retracted his whole body into the big robe again, like a small ball: "On the way to travel... I... met a monster... so... I used magic... summon Xiao Bai... ah , Xiao Bai is the skeleton! I... I... I was too lonely on the way... I just... chat with Xiao Bai..."

Brad nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I understand. This is a companion, right? I often chat with Buffy, Buffy treats me like Xiaobai treats you."

Buffy couldn't understand Brad's words, but she might think Brad was complimenting herself, and she immediately looked proud.

"After... I and Xiao Bai... repelled the monster. But since then... Xiao Bai... is a bit uncontrollable..."

Coco held the cup and peeked at Airo cautiously.The color on this little girl's face was a little panic, probably because she couldn't figure out Airo's mind and was uneasy.

"It's so pathetic."

Brad nodded, his face full of pity.He poured a glass of milk for the little girl again, then turned to talk to Buffy.Unfortunately, Buffy is still a question mark after all.

But for Airo...

"It looks very pitiful. But don't worry, Coco. In my guild, no one can hurt you, including your undead soldiers."

Getting up from his seat, Airo looked at the time, turned his head and continued to smile and said——

"You can rest with me now, or as I said just now, Song of Mermaid will never discriminate against anyone. No matter how many lies you lie or how many things you hide. Now that I have decided Believe you, then I will believe you to the end."

He stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's head lightly.

Cocoa saw Ai Luo's hand stretched out and obviously shrank because of fear, but after all, he did not show much dislike for Ai Luo's touch.

"First of all we have to find a way to solve your undead soldier's problem. If there is nowhere to go tonight, let's rest on my side."

Brad nodded quickly and immediately raised his hand: "Okay! Then I will help—"

"It's just that your own room needs to be cleaned up by yourself, and others are not allowed to help. In my case, everyone needs to take care of their own affairs. There is no problem, right?"

Looking at Ai Luo's gentle smiling face, he felt a chill for no reason, and the whole person shivered for a while, shrank his neck, and nodded cautiously.

As for Brad and Buffy next to them, these two stood beside them and waited until Airo asked them to go to bed before the pair happily went upstairs.

Going upstairs with cocoa, Ai Luo pushed open the door of the room next to his room, welcoming him with a standard gentleman's gift.

Cocoa was a little surprised looking at the cobwebs and dust in the room, but Ai Luo did not give her time to act like a baby, closed the door with his backhand and went back to his room.

After closing the door, Ai Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief, took off his hat, and splashed down the blond hair.

The hair is too long, it is really uncomfortable to be stuffy in the hat for so long... It seems that it is time to cut this hair.

What a pity, if this hair can be sold at a good price in the capital, no one will buy hair in this small town on the border of the empire.

Airo sat in front of the dressing table, pinched his hair and frowned. Finally, he flicked his hair a little helplessly, took off his coat, and put on a comfortable pajamas.

But more problematic than his own hair is Coco in the next room.

This little girl is not good at lying, at least not good at herself.But even if she wasn't very good at it, she still hid something from herself.

First of all, she said that she could not control the undead soldiers. Is this statement true or false?

The undead soldier is the dead, the product of magic, and does not need to eat.

However, during the day today, a thief did steal the Mayor of Round Cheese's cheese pie.This pie could not have been eaten by soldiers, only by living creatures.And this little girl has already said that that undead soldier is her magic power.

In this way, the so-called uncontrollable undead soldier is simply nonsense, and the girl is lying.

But...

Ai Luo combed his hair and continued to sit on the bedside frowning.

Just now, I deliberately brought some food to her, but the little girl ate it all.Eat thoroughly.

The size of the cheese pie sold at the Mayor of Round Cheese is not small. It is estimated that one person can eat it for two days.

But this little girl just ate four large pieces of bread, two eggs and five cups of hot milk. It was obvious that she had not eaten for several days.

So, she didn't lie?The cheese pie stolen by the undead soldiers was not given to her, so she was really hungry?

But this is obviously a problem.

As a necromancer, she can't get rid of her summons, just as she doesn't know enough magic.

What does an undead soldier who does not need to eat for stealing food for?

As a necromancer, Coco even said that he was completely unaware of the situation.

What's even more amazing is why a necromancer who is not good at learning would appear in Pelican Town?

Hmm...Is it related to the gold mines on the Everest Mountains?

After finishing his hair, Ai Luo put down the comb and sighed.

Turn off the lights, go to bed, and cover the quilt.

Now I just hope that these things don't deviate too much from my control, and I will lose everything in three years.
