Chapter seven hundred and forty-eight tacit understanding
At the end, Belinda's voice even choked.
"Okay! I didn't expect how effective the previous few acting was. Is it because the mental hints were imposed too deeply?"
Lei Lin looked at the other person with tears in his eyes and seemed speechless.
However, what he needs now is to be low-key and not be able to cause trouble with each other. The beauty of these two sisters may cause chaos wherever they are.
How could Lei Lin, who knew this well, put himself in danger?
"Be a mercenary? Haha? Can you afford the rent and prices of the Holy City? Especially the Steward family is not something you say you can get rid of. What can you do when facing the other party who extends their tentacles to all aspects of the Holy City?"
Lei Lin can only play the most realistic role and coldly attack the other party.
"Nick! You have changed! You were not like this before!"
The cold words made Belinda a little dull. She looked at Leilin with a silly feeling.
"It's not change! It's just accepting reality! You go!" Lei Lin waved his hand helplessly, and coughed violently.
"Yeah! No!"
Belinda stepped forward and directly pushed away Leilin's palm, and finally saw the blood that Leilin coughed out.
"How come the breath of life on your body becomes so weak? There are still such symptoms? What about your power? Has it disappeared?"
Now, Lei Lin, whose vitality is constantly passing away, looks the same as before, but the vitality on his body is constantly passing away. Compared to before, it is like the difference between a torch and a candle.
"The old wounds left during the adventures in the past are fine!"
Lelin has no concealment and cannot hide it.
This is also the reason why he tried his best to avoid conflicts. After all, while his strength is declining, he still provoked powerful forces without repentance. How could it be described as a fool?
"I understand! You are afraid! You are afraid to drag down Sophia and me!"
But I didn't expect that Lei Lin's state would make Belinda think of something.
"Are you afraid of becoming a drag? It doesn't matter, I can definitely cure you!"
Belinda glanced at Leilin deeply, and her figure disappeared directly into the moonlight.
Lei Lin stood there speechlessly: "You actually remembered it? Although this is not the case at all..."
However, if the other party associates this way, it seems that it will not harm him. Lei Lin thought about it, but had no intention of revealing it.
"Now...or, after the emergence of the Gluttony King today, the entire holy city's pattern will probably undergo great changes..."
After Belinda left, Leilin picked up the shower again and carefully took care of the tender buds in the flowerbed. The expression on her face was quiet and peaceful, as if she was not moved by the outside world at all.
In fact, this is exactly the case. On the next day, with the return of Agents, a more terrifying news spread around the Holy City. A crazy beast polluted by the power of gluttony appeared!
Even though the mother of all snakes had discovered and started to purify, with Berusebab's disruption, the other party's plan was obviously unsuccessful.
However, the previous purification still had some effect. At least, Agenice saved her life, but the injuries on the other party were very serious, even making many snake people afraid of it.
According to Agenus's information, a group of giant snakes polluted by the power of overeating have broken through to the Holy City location, and several nearby half-snake settlements have suffered huge losses.
Even the members of the team with her were unfortunately killed, and even the corpse was swallowed up by those greedy wild beasts.
After all, compared with ordinary foods, the energy contained in the flesh and blood of high-energy snakes is richer, especially the higher the level of snake man, the easier it is to become the target of those gluttony beasts!
Gluttonym! This term was also proposed by Agenus and was quickly widely adopted to distinguish other giant snake species.
No matter what kind of creature is contaminated by the power of gluttony and enters the terrifying state of hunger and eating, it can be called a gluttony beast.
In terms of the Holy City, the Steward family attached great importance to this information. They not only immediately prepared the city guards, but also mobilized a large number of reserves to declare martial law in the Holy City. They even issued high-value missions for mercenaries and adventurers, targeting the gluttony beasts that invaded the Holy City.
For a moment, the entire Ten Thousand Snake Plain seemed to be shaking strangely, and even the scope of this chaos continued to spread to the Hale Continent.
What ordinary residents of Wanshe Holy City do not know is that this situation will last for a long time, and in a very short time, the gluttony beast will replace all the previous natural disasters and man-made disasters and become their primary enemy to survive.
...
Time flies, and more than a year has passed without realizing it.
"Brother Nick! Sofia is here to see you!"
Similar to Belinda, but the younger Sophia pushed the door directly into the door. She was wearing a hunter suit, looking very heroic and more youthful, which made Lei Lin a little envious.
"You're here! Sophia!" Leilin greeted with a smile and shook his head secretly.
Although he had a tacit understanding with Belinda, Sophia obviously didn't know so much. Moreover, no matter whether it was Lelin or Belinda, it was impossible to tell her so many things, because with Sophia's IQ, it was impossible to keep it confidential.
Therefore, although Belinda rarely comes to Lelin, Sophia still remembers this Nick brother and comes from time to time.
"Brother Nick! Is your illness not cured yet?" Sophia approached Leilin, with a clear look of worry in her eyes.
At this time, Lei Lin could already see that he was in a terminal illness. Although there was not much change in appearance, the wrinkles faintly appeared on his forehead and back of his hands, and the continuous dissipation of life fluctuations on his body, all telling the weakness of this body.
"Ahem... It's okay! Ahem..." Lei Lin took out a white handkerchief and covered his lips. His formerly upright back even got a little hunched.
"It's all like this, why do you still say it's okay? Are you still using the [Fourth of Life] that Sister Belinda asked me to bring last time?"
"Yes!" Lei Lin smiled, then picked up the shower.
A milky white spring water with a rich aroma was sinking into the soil.
The original tender buds in the flower garden have turned into a small tree at this time, and the green leaves appear more energetic after being irrigated.
"Oh! This little tree actually grows so big?"
Sofia was a little surprised: "It's just... Brother Nick, why did you pour all the medicine on the little tree? Is it sick too?"
"No! Actually, it needs these more than I do..."
Lei Lin's eyes were deep, but he did not continue to explain. Instead, he picked up a small flower hoe and slowly loosened the soil and weeded it, just like a diligent gardener.
Sofia seemed to be very familiar with Relin's performance, so she sat next to him and began to talk to herself:
"The recent gluttony disaster has become even worse! I heard from Sister Agenis that many garrisons have suffered heavy losses, which has led to the front line reaching the edge of Crescent Lake, not far from the Holy City. There are many giant snakes that have been polluted, and even the sixth-level giant snake family cannot escape. At this time, most of the ten thousand snake plains have been occupied by the gluttony beasts..."
"The entire Ten Thousand Snake Plain has no longer had much of our foothold. Recently, even many residents of the Holy City have begun to flee, which has troubled Sister Agent..."
"And sister Belinda, she has been taking on tasks recently. It is said that she wants to redeem the highest level [Holy Light Crystal], and even took on a very dangerous task for this. She will set off tomorrow..."
"Oh!" Lei Lin's hand paused slightly, and then continued to move again.
He knew about Belinda's recent situation. The other party seemed to have been taking on the Holy City mission, and secretly sent it to him through wartime merits to exchange items rich in vitality.
Although these things were almost useless to him, otherwise, Lei Lin would not have to stay dormant here all the time.
"[Holy Light Crystal]?" Lei Lin shook his head. This life crystal is rich in a lot of vitality and has a good purification and suppression effect on various curses. It can be called the top material of the Hale Continent. Even if Belinda is a level 4 strongman, it will not be easy to get it.
What's more important is that this material has no effect on his current state, but may have a good effect on the seed of wisdom.
"Bang bang! Guards are in due course!"
And at this time, a rough voice rang again.
"Oh..." Lei Lin sighed and came to the door: "Please! Gentlemen!"
Seeing a large group of guards rushing in rudely, Sophia stuck out her tongue: "Many people! Sophia doesn't like them! Goodbye! Brother Nick!"
The girl was about to say goodbye and leave, and then the guards were the same, which fully demonstrated that they were not here to check, but to remind and warn.
Lei Lin could only smile bitterly.
Although he did reduce a lot of trouble with the Steward family and Thomas during this year, Sophia was a huge flaw.
Leilin could already feel that as Sophia came to him more and more, Thomas had already become impatient.
"Oh...how did Belinda control her sister?"
Lei Lin rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
He had a very bad feeling. After discovering Sophia's vague affection for him, the good relationship between Thomas and his previous ones, which had failed several times, has gradually disappeared.
