Chapter 290 This is the so-called death before success
It was already dark in the night, and the exhausted Su Wen was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard the knock on the door outside.
Since it is the bedroom door rather than the living room door, Xiao Shi may be the only one who knocks on the door. However, since she asked herself excitedly in the evening, she felt as if she turned on the autism mode, and kept saying strange words like "I'm so stupid". What would happen to come to me at this time?
Su Wen opened the door and saw Xiao Shi with a strange expression.
The other party also made it straight to the point: "Dad, I finally collected amazing information after a day of travel."
“??”
Su Wen was confused.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you always stay in the room with me?"
Xiao Shi immediately showed his idiot's eyes: "Isn't it basic setting for me to use multiple ways to control proliferation bodies? Why do I need special explanation?"
"I really hope you can make good use of this setting when fighting."
"Absolutely, but it's OK when bathing in the juice. After all, multiple portions of happiness and multiple portions of pain are incomparable." Xiao Shi refused, "Anyway, don't stop on such boring topics. Dad, don't you want to know what I found? I guarantee you will be shocked after hearing this."
Su Wen is not a fool, and when she hears this, she will naturally know who her last line is.
"You mean Golistein. To be honest, I really don't have any interest in knowing it. I have never agreed to the strategy. I am asking for trouble. We are not all the people. But we always have to pay back the kindness you owe. Tell me what you have seen. I guess I'm in trouble?"
"Dad, you're right, you're really in trouble."
Su Wen pondered: "Oh? Although this person is not at the legendary level, he is still a high-level knight who is ranked alongside the level of the Great Magician. Even if he is not outstanding in Victoria, he can be considered a departure from the category of cannon fodder. For such people, troubles will not come to him on their own, so they must have come to find troubles by themselves, and the troubles they can encounter are generally not trivial things that can be easily solved. I think he is so anxious to use money, probably because of the sense of justice, and then he starts meddling in other people's business, right?"
Now Xiao Shi looked at him with admiration: "You guessed it again, Dad, you are a little smarter than I thought!"
"Why tell me in detail how smart I am in your impression?"
"Ahem, let's get back to the point." Xiao Shi said, "In order to avoid being out of the way, I'll start from scratch. In fact, since last night, I have been secretly observing Sister Galestine. The place where she lives is an ordinary small hotel, two or three silver coins a night, and it is in a civilian area, not even specially provided for mercenaries. The dinner was served with black bread and vegetable soup provided by the hotel, and a total of 17 copper coins were spent. This can no longer be described as frugality. It's simply a waste of money. Even my father had never been so miserable at the beginning."
"It's miserable enough, then?"
"She rested after dinner, looking very tired, and seemed to be running around all day. Moreover, she had many wounds and bruises on her body, especially her arms and chest and abdomen. Although she was suppressed by the high-level Douqi, her body would definitely collapse in the long run."
"Stop, how did you see her arms and chest and abdomen? Could it be that she peeked at someone taking a shower?"
"This is a trade secret, but instead of caring about this, should my father care more about Sister Gallistan's physical condition?"
"Damn you, you actually learned to speak!"
"...Anyway, don't your father find it strange. He is obviously a high-level knight, and his food and accommodation are even one level lower than that of ordinary civilians, and he has many new injuries on his body. And according to my observation, Sister Gregorystein has not left her residence for a long time for a while, which means that she has not performed a mercenary mission during this period. After all, 70% of the mercenaries in the city of Grogbar are not in the city, but are running around in the adventure areas. What we can see in daily life is only a small number of people, and Sister Gregorystein obviously does not belong to these 70%.
Su Wen shrugged, as if he was not surprised: "What's so good about this? You can tell with your toes, either you are fighting black boxing in the underground arena, or you are a thug for the rich or nobles, and of course, it is also possible to give high-level mercenaries who are too busy to use as a sparring training. And I think more than 80% of the situation may be the third situation."
Xiao Shi was surprised: "Why do you know everything?"
"You can know this kind of thing just by just a little bit of it. If you really need to make money quickly, leaving the city and going out to take risks is a stupid choice. Not only does it take effect slowly, but it is also a bad luck, but there are many ways to make quick money. However, with this person's personality, he probably won't do shameful things, so there are only a few methods left for not being so shameful. Even so, if I were her, I would choose the third one that is least shameful among these three options."
"Well, Sister Galestine went out early this morning. She was indeed a sparring training for a diamond-level mercenary, just like her father said. "Xiao Shi continued, "I observed it for a while. This job is really hard. It would be better to be treated as a human sandbag. The opponent's strength is obviously at the level of legendary swordsman. Although it was not stable after entering the legend, it was because of this that a lot of practical training was needed. However, there was a level different between the two. Sister Galestine was completely passively beaten. Moreover, the opponent was very heavy in attack. He really spared no effort except for not killing his life. I almost couldn't stand it by the side."
Su Wen said: "Thank you so hard, but the salary for this job is much higher on average than for adventure. Generally speaking, gold-level mercenaries will go to battle once with the adventure team, as short as a week or as long as a few months. In the end, the salary plus dividends will only be more than a thousand gold coins. If you are not lucky, only the basic salary will be hundreds. If you are a coach, no matter how hard you work, your daily salary will probably be over a hundred."
Xiao Shi nodded and said, "So, I was very surprised at that time. Sister Galestine could earn nearly a hundred gold coins every day. Even if she couldn't live a life like a god, she would never fall into that place. It was just that she spent almost all her money elsewhere, and where would it be? With this doubt, I waited until the afternoon and came to the outer city with Sister Galestine. Guess what I saw?"
Su Wen didn't raise his eyelids: "She donated the money to organizations like welfare homes, right?"
“…”
After a long period of silence, Su Wen raised his head and saw Xiao Shi with a distorted face.
"Dad is so overdoing!"
She shouted angrily.
"Don't you even give Xiao Shi the opportunity to keep him in a silence!"
"Hey, have I guessed it again? I can only say that I know her very well, after all, she was my old rival back then."
"Let's just count it, but it's not a welfare home, but an institution that specializes in hosting 'mercenary orphans', that is, children whose parents are mercenaries but who died in missions or adventures. In Victoria, who accounts for almost the highest mercenary population in the continent, there are especially many such poor children. Sister Gregardin donated all her income to them, which means she didn't get a penny in this day."
"It's indeed something she can do. Now you believe she is an idiot."
But as soon as he said this, Xiao Shi suddenly pulled his face: "Please don't say that anymore, Dad. This joke is not funny. If your idiot is the truth, then I will despise you severely. Sister Gregardin is the most selfless person I have ever seen. She is like an angel."
Su Wen was amazed at this.
"So, you, the strategist, have been counter-attacked? It's really gratifying."
"I'm so happy! But this behavior really shocked me. I don't want to give back at all. And the other party has nothing to do with me. I really can't even think about this kind of thing in the Undead Plane... Ah! This continent is so beautiful. With someone like Sister Garystein, I'm completely full of hope for my future life." Xiao Shi said intoxicatedly, "Dad, let me discuss something with you. If you don't plan to accept her as a harem, then give her to Xiao Shi. If you don't mind, how about multiple daughters-in-law in the future?"
"Good go, don't call me dad!"
"Oh by the way, by the way, Sister Gregardin has called the police for her father raising a girl. People from the Grogbar City Police Department may come to the door tomorrow, right?"
"Damn! This guy..."
However, before Su Wen finished exclaiming, Xiao Shi raised his hand and interrupted him: "Don't be shocked for now. What I want to say next is what is really worth caring about."
"?"
"Sister Gallistan is really in trouble. It's not the trouble of having no money as I just said, but the trouble of maybe someone may die."
Speaking of this, a trace of murderous intent appeared on Xiao Shi's face.
"She was targeted by a malicious person."
