After knowing the whole story and not wanting to get entangled any further, Alice waved her hand to end the matter.
But the other party also started complaining.
"The city guards won't take him in. Stealing is a minor crime and he'll be jailed for six or seven days at most. This guy has been in and out of jail several times because he's crazy. Even the city guards don't bother to take care of him."
"It's really crazy, it seems a little abnormal."
The person lying at Mona's feet was a dark-skinned man, skin and bones with not a pound of flesh on his body. One could tell at a glance that he had not eaten for a long time. What was even more strange was that even though he was being hit, there was no trace of pain on his face. Instead, he looked as happy as if he was in heaven.
#I love you like a demon, I am crazy about you, but I don't know whether it is from my heart or desire#
ps: Regarding Mona's abilities, there is a little description in the first volume, and in the second volume there are ninety-eight to one hundred chapters. She replenishes her magic every three days, and the replenishment process will be a very happy process. It's super astringent and all of these are foreshadowings that were laid earlier.
The reason why Jiang Lan didn't take the car was not to increase the word count, but to fulfill the condition of no magic replenishment (probably).
Gugu is really super detailed.
Wait, if I think about it this way, it seems like I have been planning to persecute Mona since the first volume.
Ugh, I'm so disgusting.
Of course, I would not really abuse my lovely daughter.
260. The magic is far away
It's strange to say, he was obviously beaten by the owner for stealing things, and was stabbed with such a thick stick. Well, his frail body should have been grimacing in pain, but from the perspective of Mona and the others, his dark face was as happy as if he was in heaven, and there was even a hint of a smile.
Huh, masochist?
I seem to understand why the city guards didn't accept him. Anyone would feel uneasy if they had such a pervert around.
But this was just a joke. A masochist would at most show an expression of enjoyment when being beaten. But now, even though he was not being beaten, he still had a weird smile on his face, and even laughed a strange laugh. Alice roughly understood it by now.
"It's an addiction."
Before Alice could say anything, Ellie gave the answer. Her status was not as noble as Alice's, nor was she like Mona who had someone to protect her throughout her growth. Ellie, a common girl, had to understand a lot of dark things.
"Miss, you are right. This guy used to be a good adventurer, but later he got addicted to drugs and became a drug addict. He stole my stuff yesterday in exchange for pills. I guess he was just enjoying it when I caught him. Beating him is useless, but I have to vent my anger. I want to make him wake up with pain all over his body. It's not a good thing and I won't offend you. Please go through."
"What a pity. He used to be a capable young man. Now that he has been infected with this kind of stuff, his life has been wasted. It's a waste of his dark appearance."
As he spoke, the man used a stick to push the dark-skinned man on the ground aside to make way for Mona and the other two. Mona sighed and pulled the reluctant Ellie away. Then she walked a few steps and heard the man's beating and scolding again.
"I told you to steal, I told you to be a bad student, I told you..."
An unknown anger flashed through her heart. Mona took a deep breath, turned around, and grabbed the man's hand that was swinging the stick to stop him from hitting her.
I actually felt compassion.
Maybe he was thinking of himself?
The man's happy and selfless look was very similar to the way she looked when she absorbed her mother's magic power. She was the same now. The dark thoughts in her heart were getting stronger and stronger, urging her to go to Jiang Lan quickly. Wasn't he just like the dark man who was willing to steal for the pills?
It’s just that the degree is not that serious and the actions are not that extreme.
Thinking this way, I actually felt a bit like him.
Call her kind or a saint, she just wants to help.
"Miss, you...ha, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. I should have waited until you were far away before venting my anger. I really shouldn't have disturbed your ears."
Mona and the other two were beautiful and well-mannered. Knowing that they must be of noble birth, the man did not dare to disrespect them. Even though he was wrong, he quickly apologized.
"No, please stop fighting. I'll compensate you for the loss."
"Miss, you can't do that! I know you are kind, but this person is hopeless. It won't help even if you help her this time. She won't be able to quit."
"Mona, let's go. He is right. This man is hopeless. You are just too kind. Don't feel sympathy for everyone. Only sympathize with those who deserve sympathy and help those who can be helped. This is the right thing to do." Alice also objected to this and frowned, trying to pull Mona away.
But Mona still stood there motionless, and Alice couldn't move her with her body.
"I know. Although knowing this may be useless, I have the ability anyway, so I might as well help when I see it."
It was just a small amount of money, perhaps not even enough for the meal that Mona had just finished without eating. It would have no effect on Mona whether she had it or not, but it could be an opportunity for this dark-skinned man who was dominated by drugs.
Perhaps this is also what Mona is thinking. She hopes that one day she will not be affected by the side effects of her abilities. Only then will she be able to truly understand what her feelings for her mother are and how deep they are.
Although she kept it hidden in her heart and didn't tell anyone, she also longed for such an opportunity.
To help others is also to help yourself.
"I, I also think that I should just help him. It's something that can be done easily."
"Ellie, you too..."
Being stared at by Alice, Ellie took two small steps back but did not relax her tone.
"Just help him. I feel so sorry for him."
Ellie, who was born in a commoner family, was not as naive as Mona, and was much more realistic, but this was true empathy. When she was practicing countercurrent fighting spirit, she had also taken this kind of medicine and had been addicted to it. She knew what kind of pain it was. After the happiness came extreme despair and the fear that she would sink.
Fortunately, her own obsession was stronger than the pleasure of drugs, and she finally got through it. Although her body stopped growing due to the drugs, she still passed the school's age test. It was a blessing in disguise, but the memory was still engraved in her mind and could not be erased, so since she saw it, she decided to help.
"Even you are the same. Let me make it clear that I am still against it, but if you insist on doing it, then do it."
She stared at Ellie's serious description for a long time, and after a long time, Alice sighed and finally agreed to their request.
Magic is a magical thing in the world. The healing effect of magic can alleviate the harm of drugs to a certain extent. Healing magic was immediately cast on the dark-skinned man. It took only a few minutes to see the initial effect. The strange smile on the man's face disappeared, and he would probably wake up in a while.
"These five are to make up for your loss. Please let him go."
He wanted to use gold coins, but then he thought that it might attract covetousness, so he changed them into silver coins and took out two more and gave them to the man lying on the ground who was just beginning to regain consciousness.
"These two are for you. Go buy yourself some clean clothes, eat a full meal, and find some physical work to survive. Don't buy any more medicine."
"goddess......"
She is so kind-hearted and beautiful that the dark-skinned man who had just come back from the hallucination of the drug thought he saw a goddess, which made Mona smile bitterly.
"Not a woman... Never mind, just assume it is. If you really feel it, try to overcome your desire. I hope you won't sink into depravity again."
"Miss, you are so kind. I have made up for my loss. I will help you keep an eye on him in the future. Please go slowly. Those who are watching the fun can go away."
Mona walked back amidst the praises mixed with some sneers of those who were stupid and had a lot of money, and the dark-skinned man's repeated thanks.
Turning back suddenly, Mona saw the dark-skinned man biting the silver coin with a mercenary smile to see if it was genuine. The emotions in his body were still pure black, but with a hint of blue.
Mona couldn't help but sigh, perhaps nothing had really changed.
“It’s totally useless.”
Alice's words were full of disdain. She despised the most people who had hands and feet but allowed themselves to degenerate and could not support themselves.
"Maybe. But it's always a good deed. Maybe there will be good results. Even if there isn't, at least it makes me happy. Good people will be rewarded. All causes and effects are made up of these insignificant little things. Just like my mother said, countless foreshadowings make up an interesting story."
"How come you also started to believe in the cause and effect theories of religions? Did Gwendolyn really brainwash you, her sister-in-law? The saint is so scary. Ugh, I'm starting to tremble."
Not wanting these things to ruin her mood, Alice thought to herself and changed the subject with a smile.
She is good at observing people's words and expressions and will not let people around her have gloomy thoughts.
After laughing a few times, Ellie looked at her hand, which was tightly held with Mona, and couldn't help but tighten it a little.
Being able to show kindness for something that is not worth it is a kind act even if it is stupid, and she doesn't hate it.
Mona was right. Such things did sow some seeds of cause and effect, but they were not buried with the dark-skinned man, but with herself.
Mona is a good girl, but she is not. She can no longer be greedy for her gentleness. She should also make a decision on whether to achieve her goal.
In these few days, no, in these few weeks, no, at the end of this month, well, let’s just wait until the end of this trip.
Make a decision about her life and death, and your own life and death.
Just like that, with Ellie and Mona each having their own thoughts and Alice trying hard to liven up the atmosphere, the girls finally returned to the base.
Mona had been looking forward to it for a long time. The moment she saw Jiang Lan, she couldn't wait to pounce on her, greedily breathing the air around Jiang Lan. People around her laughed and teased her, but Mona didn't care. She would never let go as long as she could hold on to Jiang Lan.
"Mom, let's go now..."
As Jiang Lan leaned over and whispered something to him, a carrier pigeon flew in the sky.
That was a way for Lixia and Jiang Lan to communicate.
This must be an important matter. Jiang Lan put Mona's head down for the moment and took the letter from the pigeon's leg. In a short moment, his face turned ashen.
"Sorry, Mona, Mom will be gone for a while."
#The magic that cannot be replenished#
ps: I'm at home and can't go out. The third update is done. I feel good. The hardworking Gugu you are familiar with is back.
As mentioned before, Gugu will work very hard to update next month, but it still needs encouragement and motivation, so I set a rule for extra updates.
There is a minimum of one update per day, and one additional update for every fifty monthly tickets or one hundred yuan reward.
Please use your tickets and rewards to give Dongliu this piece of crap!!!
Then, the description of the person's dark skin in this chapter does not have any innuendo, it has other purposes. Please don't make a big deal out of it and elevate it to a racial issue, and don't discuss it here. Thank you.
261. The enemy is in...
She wrapped her whole body around her mother, this was the love from her dearest daughter. If it were normal, she would be able to successfully trick Jiang Lan into going to replenish her magic. However, at this moment, Jiang Lan frowned and pushed Mona away a little, her pretty face full of worry.
To defeat magic, magic must be used. When Jiang Lan is acting like a spoiled child, only his daughter can push her away.
With a jolt in her heart, Mona understood what was going on. Something must have happened to someone among the Liliths.
"Sister Lan, what happened?" Jiang Lan's face was terribly gloomy, Alice asked hurriedly.
"The enemy is in Honnoji!"
Jiang Lan crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and gritted his teeth.
"Honnoji Temple?"
Theresa had a question mark on her face. Alice was a little confused when she heard the place name she had never heard of before.
"Tsk, I'm confused, it's Tuertan City."
"Turtan City, the trading hub between Kalel and the Orc Country, oh no, it's Yazi!"
Yazi and her friends in the fighting team were heading towards the Orc Country, and Turtlan City was the nearest route. She immediately realized that her lover might be in danger, and the usually calm Alice also became panicked.
Noticing Alice's eyes, Jiang Lan understood and handed the note to Alice, who spread it out and read it carefully.
