Chapter 170: Xing: Even if my life is worse than a dog's

"Let's patrol the surroundings first."

Seele looked at the footprint and said in a deep voice: "The footprint hasn't disappeared. We'll follow the footprint to find them."

"Hmm."

Hearing Seele's words, the people present nodded immediately and began to search along the footprint.

Before long, the group saw a little boy hiding in a corner.

"Eric?"

Seeing this little boy, Seele's brows furrowed: "Kid, why did you run here alone? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?"

"Se, Seele."

Looking at the arriving Seele and the few people with hands on their hips around her, Eric swallowed: "Yo, you manage me? I, I want to go wherever I want. It has nothing to do with you."

At Eric's words, Seele frowned and looked at the supplies of his in the corner of the wall next to him, her expression one of surprise: "You actually hid all the supplies here; you're quite capable, aren't you."

"But if we hadn't solved the wandering monsters, what would you have done? Just hide in this corner and shiver?"

"Who, who wants you to be nosy."

Eric looked outside and found that the wandering monsters had disappeared, so he said stubbornly: "I was about to escape anyway; I didn't need any adult's help."

"Still so stubborn."

Hearing this, Seele sneered: "Then tell me, how do you plan to take away several bundles of steel plates in front of the monsters? Not just steel plates, but some other scattered things, tape, bandages. Can you handle it alone, kid?"

"Thi, this."

Hearing Seele's words and seeing the supplies he had collected beside him, Eric swallowed: "There, there will be a way."

"Don't make things difficult for this child."

Beside them, Xing hesitated: "After all, we are also here to get supplies; we need some supplies."

"Don't be polite to this kid."

Hearing Xing's words, Seele shook her head: "This kid is a notorious petty thief. If I remember correctly, this clothes should also have been stolen from other children."

"Seriously, I'm curious what you need these steel plates and gauze for? We need them to save people."

"Two hundred."

Hearing Seele's words, Eric was silent for a moment and said: "Give me two hundred Shield of Belobog!"

Seele: "???"

"Two hundred Shield of Belobog?"

Hearing Eric's words, Seele laughed: "I didn't hear wrong, did I? You actually want to negotiate conditions?"

Does this kid have no sense of the situation?

"Shield of Belobog?"

Beside them, March 7th looked curious: "How much is two hundred Shield of Belobog?"

"Not much."

Bronya shook her head: "This is the currency used by our Belobog citizens, but I didn't bring a wallet."

"You actually really intend to give this little guy money."

Seele shook her head: "This guy liked to be a pickpocket before. He only restrained himself a lot after a lesson. But even so, he still does some cheating and swindling. This kind of thing hasn't happened just a few times before."

"No, this time is different."

Hearing Seele's words, Eric was in a hurry and said hurriedly: "I need money because my old man..."

"How many times have you used your old man as a shield?"

Seele was expressionless: "Just since I met you, you've explained it to me no less than five times. I even went to your house once and found that your old man is fine. You are still using your old man as an excuse now. If your old man knew, you wouldn't have a good ending."

"I."

Hearing Seele's words, Eric was silent: "I didn't lie this time."

"Eric, right."

Beside them, Bronya saw this scene, took out a medal from her arms, and handed it to Eric: "Although you don't recognize it, it doesn't matter. The geode crystal in the middle of this medal is of the highest quality. Even ordinary merchants would know the value of this thing."

"I."

Hearing Bronya's words, Eric was silent. He picked up this medal and wiped his tears: "Thank you, sister."

"Although I gave you this thing, you must also promise me not to steal other people's things in the future. Can you do it?"

Bronya said seriously: "Don't be a petty thief anymore."

"I, I know."

Hearing Bronya's words, Eric clenched his fists and looked at Bronya seriously: "I will definitely remember what you said, sister. I won't be a petty thief in the future, and I will definitely not steal things again."

"Then it's a deal."

Hearing Eric's words, Bronya smiled: "Seele will supervise you when she has time in the future. If you commit it again, you will definitely be caught. Alright, go back now. The monsters on that road have all been cleared by us. You can go back first."

"Thank you, big sister."

Eric wiped his tears: "You can take all these things. I originally thought about selling these things. If you need them, I'll give them to you."

"And there seems to be something terrible in the house at the high place; I don't even dare to approach it."

"And over there, the road to the shop is blocked. There is a Rift there, so you can't go over. If you want to go forward, you must take a detour."

"Many thanks!"

Hearing Eric's words, Bronya smiled and said: "Then go back quickly."

"Mm-hmm." ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
