Chapter 23 Creditors
In a slum not far from the dock, McVallon took Arcado to a small house, which reminded Arcado of the southern part of the capital.
Just as he was about to enter the house, McVallon was stopped by Arcadora and walked about ten steps forward. When he came to a small stall, Arcado asked a little girl with a smile, "Hey, little girl, how much is your rice cake?"
"Big brother, my rice cake is delicious. You can take one with only 5 silver coins." The little girl smiled with two dimples, which were very cute.
A middle-aged woman wiped her hands inside and quickly came out and said apologetically to Arcado, "I lied to her, otherwise she would always steal it. How many copper plates do you want, sir?
"I want 30." Arcado said with a smile, and McVlon quickly said, "Acardo, why did you buy so many rice cakes? This thing is so expensive that I never want to buy it.
"If you still want to borrow money, just shut up and follow." Acado warned McVlon with a smile, and then turned back to tell the woman that 20 pieces have been wrapped, and the remaining 10 pieces will be eaten by this lovely little girl. If you want to supervise her, you can only eat two a day at most. Moreover, you can't let her eat less, or you will cheat my money. After saying that, he picked up one of the remaining 10, put it in the little girl's hand, and whispered, "Supervise your mother for me."
In the woman's grateful eyes, Arcado continued to walk forward with the silent McVlon, buying a large piece of meat, dozens of eggs, a lot of vegetables along the way, and spent 29 silver coins. McVallon obediently walked behind with his things and never talked much along the way.
When Arcado and McVaron turned back to the door of McVulon's small house, Arcado gently knocked on the door, and a girl's weak voice sounded: "Who is it?"
McVlon grabbed Acado, pushed open the unlocked door, and replied, "Sister, I'll bring someone back to see you."
When McVlon's sister saw her brother carrying a large piece of meat and a lot of vegetables, she grew up in surprise, and then saw Arcado holding many eggs.
"Hello, Miss, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a friend of McVlon at the dock, Rudolph Arcado. I'd like to greet you." Arcado took out the etiquette at the Holy City Ball, which was perfect and impeccable. He gently knelt on the bed, knelt on one knee, took the girl's hand, and gently introduced himself.
This move made the girl shy, and the generous aristocratic etiquette made the girl who had been sick for a long time happy. How long has she not been greeted like this?
McVlon didn't expect that Acado could treat his sister on his sickbed so humbly. Hehe stood aside and giggled. Arcado straightened up and pointed to the food on the table and said to McVlon, "These are for your sister's health. Except for 10 rice cakes, you can eat, and the rest should be made for your sister according to your sister. Just drink some soup."
Although McVlon also thought that these things were bought for him, he was still happy after confirming it. He promised and was busy tidying up the room and cleaning up meat and vegetables.
Arcado took out the rice cake, put one, put it in a small bowl on the table, and handed it to the ** girl. The girl came to her senses, blushed, lowered her head and said, "Thank you, thank you, my name is Meadow."
"You and your brother have read books. Who taught you?" Akado asked with a smile.
"Our mother, she is a teacher, but she passed away the year before last." Meadow said sadly.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked this. Meadow. Arcado sighed softly and said, "McVlon, let's talk."
McVlon had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and immediately came to the bedside and looked at Meadow and Arcado.
"How serious is your sister's illness? How much does it cost to cure it?" Acado asked McVlon.
McVlon took a look at his sister and said, "I won't hide it from my sister. The doctor who came last time said that if there is a medical fee of 2 gold coins and a gold coin for medicine, it can cure my sister's disease, but my sister's body needs to be recuperated and nutritious food. We really don't have money. This broken nest The shed is not worth even a gold coin, so we can't cure my sister.
"I can pay to cure your sister, but you have to promise me to work for me." Arcado said.
McVlon looked at the man in front of him and found that he couldn't understand Acardo.
"You have two choices, McVlon and Merdore." Arcado looked at the two brothers and sisters: "First, sell me your life. From today on, the two of you will follow me, whether they are spending money or abandoned in the wilderness. Until the end of my life; second, refuse me.
McVlon waved his fist and asked in a simple voice, "I can kill you and find the money."
"Hahahaha, if you do it, I will never resist." Arcado said with a smile.
McVlon put away his violent expression and said, "You just went shopping outside. Didn't you buy insurance for yourself? If I kill you, as long as someone reports, I can't escape.
"Speaking, what are you going to do for our brother and sister?" McVlon thought for a moment and asked, "Stealing for you?" Killing people? Black boxing? Or do you want to seduce my sister?
"Brother!" Mei Duo blushed and bowed her head to complain about her brother: "What are you talking about!"
"Haha, McVlon, you guessed wrong. I don't need to buy people like you at all to do such a thing. I can find 100 people by shouting in this slum." Arcado said with a smile. He pulled out the dagger at his waist and cut his leggings.
"What the hell do you want me to do?" McVlon was at ease and asked nervously.
"I want you to be my sword and cut off all the chains in front of us! If God is in front, you will kill God; if the devil is in front, you will kill the devil! From then on, our future will be firmly tied together, and your hands will be stained with blood, but your sister can have a beautiful castle in the world, your world can only have skeletons, and your sister's world will be full of flowers!" Acado's two leggings were cut by a dagger, and 4 gold coins and 4 lead blocks were dropped.
Seeing the gold coins, McVlon was sure that what the man in front of him was not talking about was a joke. Now he had to choose whether to sign a contract with the devil or drive the devil out of the house.
"I want to be the biggest creditor in your life. I will give you the future, and you will return my loyalty until we die together." Arcado took out all ten gold coins on his body, put them on the table, and looked at the two brothers and sisters with a bad smile: "You won't owe anyone anything but me."
