"Do you know each other?" Rom looked back at Morien.

"We know each other." Morien nodded.

"That's not good." Rom laughed, "You guys are all surrounded now, one behind the other."

He made a joke.

"Then you are in great danger now," Morien waved his hand, "Remember to bid higher when you trade with me later."

"Okay, I'll lower the price by 50% first, and then I'll give you an increase of 10%." Rom smiled, showing his teeth that were not straight.

Subaru Natsuki walked into the room one after another with a little girl with yellow hair. He looked around the room while being alert. Fortunately, nothing happened that he didn't want to see.

For example, Elsa is already waiting here.

However, even without Elsa, Morien sitting in front of the counter still made him a little uneasy.

The yellow-haired girl following Subaru Natsuki is Felt. She must be malnourished and looks a little thin.

Felt sat on the counter calmly and took the cup from the counter and poured milk into it as if he were at home.

However, everything on the counter is placed under the cabinet and on the wall behind it. Only the milk that Felt likes to drink is placed on the counter.

This Rom is still an old tsundere.

"What, this bottle has gone cold and you haven't warmed up yet." She complained to Rom.

"It would be nice to have some to drink." Rom replied.

"You are so shameless, you are so crazy." Subaru Natsuki complained, then turned to look at the big Rom, "I can just drink, grandpa."

"You are just as shameless!" Rom replied, "One Holy Gold Coin."

He made a direct offer.

"Are you kidding!" Subaru Natsuki was shocked, "So this is a black shop?"

He doesn't really understand the purchasing power here.

But he knew that one Magic prop could only sell 20 pieces of Holy Gold Coin.

He scratched his face and smiled, "You're kidding. By the way, grandpa, we wasted a lot of time, so let's get to the topic quickly before digressing."

"What do you want to do?" Rom walked back behind the counter and asked.

"I have something I want you to appraise. Appraise the meteor I brought and prove its value to Felt." Subaru Natsuki opened his mouth and started bragging.

"This is a very popular magic tool in the capital now! It is a powerful device that can divide and freeze time." He said confidently.

After knowing that they were going to discuss business, Rom's gray eyes became serious.

Rom looked at Felt to confirm, and then looked at Subaru Natsuki again after seeing her nod.

Subaru Natsuki reached into his pocket, took out his flip phone and handed it over.

The metallic appearance seemed to interest Rom. He reached out and took it. The phone looked like a small toy in his huge hand.

"Is this a "shooting star"? This is the first time even the old man has seen it----"

"This is the only one of the eight achievements in the world. Also, this machine is extremely slender, so you have to be careful when using it. If it breaks, I will really die." Subaru Natsuki reminded.

"Is it so precious?" Rom was a little surprised, "You actually sell such a precious thing?

, Rom, who had repeatedly confirmed the appearance, slowly opened the foldable phone.

First, he was surprised by the startup sound for the first time, and then the wallpaper on his phone shocked him again.

"This painting----"

"I think the timing was just right. In order to show off the effect, I tried to use Felt as my mobile phone wallpaper." Subaru Natsuki, who used the photo of the little loli as the mobile phone wallpaper on the first day we met, explained.

The wallpaper is Felt, which was taken in an alley. Because I selected the cutest photos, and the picture quality is good, it looks like a painting.

Rom frequently compared photos with Felt, who was sipping milk next to her.

"It's amazing that you can draw such detailed paintings!" The old man couldn't understand.

"This is a meteor with time cut and sealed inside." Pictures drawn by humans can't be compared at all, right? Grandpa, do you want to try taking a picture?" He looked at Morien not far away, "You can also try it together."

"You can't take pictures of me." Morien shook his head.

"Is it because you are worried that your soul will be sucked away?" Subaru Natsuki tried to put himself into the thoughts of people of this era, "Sure enough, no matter what era or world you are in, you will always have this kind of superstition when you see photos----"

"No, if this thing is in Rom's hand, it will definitely block the lens." Morien pointed at Rom's huge palm.

Even if I just pinched it carefully, I almost covered the entire phone with two fingers.

"Ah, that's right." Subaru Natsuki scratched his head, "Do you actually know this is called a lens? Does it mean that there is already similar technology now?"

"That's good, let me help you take pictures." Subaru Natsuki took the phone back from Rom.

"Is this okay?"

"It still doesn't work." Morien replied.

"Why?" Subaru Natsuki asked puzzledly.

"Because it will suck my soul away." Morien replied.

"What do you mean?" Subaru Natsuki didn't know how to answer.

"Hmm, this is indeed scary. If you want me to estimate it, Holy Gold Coin fifteen--no, at least twenty pieces. This "Meteor" does have such value."

The merchant's soul may be stimulated, and Rom's eyes are particularly shining.

At this moment, Morien's voice intervened again.

"By the way, this is an old version from how many years ago? It looks very shabby when you look at it like this." Morien interrupted the conversation of several people with a smile.

Morien raised his hand, holding a smartphone.

"Ah! Is it actually a smartphone? It is indeed a super rich man who deserves to explode!" Subaru Natsuki looked at the mobile phone in Morien's hand.

In the era that Subaru Natsuki traveled through, smartphones were considered a luxury item that only extremely wealthy people could afford.

He complained at first, and then suddenly reacted.

Wait!

Why does he have such a thing!

Shouldn't this be something only available in his world?

"It's hard----don't you!"

Subaru Natsuki suddenly became incoherent.

"What kind of trouble are you trying to make with this expression of wanting to cry?" Felt glanced at Subaru Natsuki speechlessly.

"Is he a fellow villager? He really is a fellow villager, right? He must be a fellow villager, right!" Subaru Natsuki pointed at Morien and said tremblingly.

"Not at all." Morien replied, holding his head with one hand, "My hometown is separated from your hometown by a sea."

"Across a sea?" Subaru Natsuki recalled it, then compared Morien's facial features, "Oh! It's that country."

Although he took a break from school for a while, he still knew such basic geographical knowledge.

There are only a few countries across the sea from Japan.

Not black, Asian face, no Korean style beef head.

Then it's not difficult to guess.

Boom, boom, boom.

The door was knocked for the third time.

"Maybe he's my guest, but it's a little early."

Felt walked towards the door and put his hand on the doorknob.

For a moment, Subaru felt a surge of anxiety.

Loot House, knock on the door, Felt's guest.

If these conditions are met, there will be only one exported answer.

Elsa Granhiert.

The woman who killed him twice.

"Can't open! You will be killed!" Subaru Natsuki shouted.

The voice to stop him couldn't catch up in time, and Felt pushed the door open with force.

Then----

"I wouldn't suddenly do something like kill someone."

The sullen silver-haired half-Elf girl stepped into the warehouse.

I admitted my mistake.

Even a big-hearted person like Subaru Natsuki would be a little embarrassed when he suddenly mistakes someone for a murderer.

At this moment, as if gliding, the black shadow quietly moved behind the silver-haired girl.

Subaru Natsuki noticed it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was about to shout out.

The silver sword light struck the white neck in an instant.

"Puck! Defense!" Subaru Natsuki shouted at the same time.

Emilia Suddenly felt a heavy weight on his head and was pushed to the side.

Morien appeared beside her in an instant and pushed her head to the side.

Elsa's blade passed under Morien's arm, almost parallel to his arm.

"You respond quickly, little brother."

"Let me just say, we will meet again."

Elsa's frivolous tone fell.

The second stroke that followed was directed towards Morien's abdomen.

But unfortunately, the attack failed.

Elsa's knife cut across Morien's abdomen, and the clothes were cut open, but Morien didn't leave any blood.

"It's a pity." Morien looked at Elsa and said with a smile, "Without Armament Haki, you wouldn't be able to hit me."

Immediately, a small black spider appeared on the cut hole in Morien's clothes and began to mend the broken clothes.

"Armed color? It's a term I don't understand." Elsa brought the blade in his hand to his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"Ah~," she seemed to understand, "You turned your body into a bug the moment the attack came, right?"

She gently rubbed her hand on the blade, wiping off some of the insect blood and limbs stuck on it.

"Are you Swarm who came together?"

Inexplicably, Morien could tell that her voice didn't seem as calm as she appeared.

"Hey~." Morien laughed.

Of course he knew what was going on.

Because the way he behaves now, Elsa is too familiar.

Sin Archbishop and Lust of Witch Cult act as the "mothers" of Capella and Elsa.

Elsa was able to develop his current perverted character because he was tortured by Capella since he was a child.

For example: let her decompose into frogs and bugs all over the place. Each frog and each bug has its own consciousness in its body.

Then she controls the frog that she turned into partially to eat the bug that the other part of herself turned into.

"Don't think too much, I'm not that bad woman." Morien turned around and walked back to the counter.

He directly exposed his back to Elsa, but this time, she did not dare to act rashly.

"I have always hated people who treat their children badly, whether they are biological or adopted children." Morien said, returning to his seat and sitting down.

"You can go and ask around - oh, you probably won't be able to find out. In short, none of my children will be afraid of me."

He raised his hand and patted the seat beneath him.

"Are you afraid of me?" Morien asked with a smile.

There was no answer, but a small part of the Insect Brood that made up the seat came up and wrapped around him.

"Haha~."

Do you still like raising children?

Were these "children" turned into bugs by him?

It looks more like----

Elsa thought in his mind and licked his lips.

"That's right, so you want to stop me?"

She was not sure whether the person in front of her was transformed into Capella, but she preferred to lean towards "no".

First of all, it was Capella who had no reason to stop herself. She had given her the task.

Secondly, Morien is too "clean" and there is no "Witch's Scent".

This is the smell that all Witch Cult disciples have. The higher the status of Witch Cult disciples, the stronger the smell is.

Although it is called "the lingering fragrance", it is actually the smell of "death", which can make any living being instinctively disgusted.

"No, I don't intend to stop you." Morien crossed his legs.

"I just wanted to enjoy a play up close. I saved the girl just because it would be boring if the actor died before the play started."

He smiled slightly and made a "please" gesture.

"Please."

"Yeah, that's good."

Elsa temporarily relaxed and focused his attention on Emilia in front of him again.

In the following time, Morien watched an episode of RE0 up close.

The plot was very different from what he saw on TV.

Elsa needs to hunt Emilia, and Desire cuts open Emilia's belly to see what "Elf's intestines" look like.

However, as a Elf warlock, Emilia cooperates with the big Elf Puck that he signed, and his strength is not weaker than Elsa 0

On the surface, the two sides are evenly matched.

Puck is a gray kitten that looks harmless on the surface. Magic is good at using ice.

But in fact, he is Finality Beast who is in charge of the "fire element".

Theoretically, Puck, which is completely unblocked, can easily kill Elsa in an instant.

However, this old man is a pure civil war phantom. He has never played any role in facing foreign enemies. Moreover, as long as Sun goes down, he will go to bed on time.

Except when facing Subaru Natsuki, Puck usually doesn't cause much damage.

The only time he killed Record was when he killed Subaru Natsuki.

Claiming that as soon as Emilia dies, the world of Destruction will appear.

But in fact, every time Emilia dies, he will be killed by the Juggernaut who comes after him after killing Subaru Natsuki in seconds.

The entire kill list of the big Elf is almost entirely Subaru Natsuki's name.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and soon Sun fell down the mountain.

As expected, the mole Puck got off work on time.

Emilia, which lost the big Elf, immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Within ten minutes after Puck went offline, Subaru Natsuki and the others were forced into a desperate situation.

Rom was chopped down by Elsa. Felt escaped under the cover of Subaru Natsuki and went out to fetch reinforcements.

However, the entire slum is considered a bleak place, and no one is willing to help this little girl with yellow hair.

Due to the intervention of Morien, Subaru Natsuki did not see the sword master Reinhard this week, so this time there is no drama of the sword master falling from the sky and handsomely saving the day.

"So, am I also in Subaru?"

Morien thought for two seconds and came to a conclusion.

It must be that the world is too malicious towards Subaru Natsuki.

What does it have to do with him, an outsider?

Subaru Natsuki, who was holding a mallet, had stab wounds all over his body.

He stood in front of Elsa, breathing heavily.

"Aren't you going to try to escape?" Elsa asked with a teasing smile, "Just like the little girl just now."

"I won't run away!" Subaru Natsuki replied breathlessly.

"Hehehe," Elsa laughed charmingly, "Really? He is such an infatuated little boy."

"Such infatuation----"

"Then let me see the color of your intestines.

95

Elsa held a machete and stepped forward.

Subaru Natsuki raised his leg to kick, but she easily grabbed his ankle.

Although he had practiced Taekwondo, this kind of fighting technique, which is more performance than actual combat, was still too useless in this situation.

"Uh huh," Elsa raised his scimitar and was about to slash Subaru Natsuki's abdomen.

But just at this moment.

Her movements suddenly stopped.

The tiny invisible spider threads had bound all the joints of her body at some point.

At some point, several spiders weaved an almost invisible web into the room.

She couldn't move.

"Ah la~." Elsa chuckled and looked at Morien who was sitting there, "Aren't you Spectator?"

Elsa is not surprising.

Go back on your word and be moody.

If Morien is really Sin Archbishop, which is the same as Capella, then it is indeed in line with the perception of Elsa.

"It's very good." Morien clapped his hands gently, "It's a pretty good drama."

"Is Spectator going to die personally?" Elsa winked.

"Yeah, I can't help but give this comedian a good reward." He stood up and walked towards Subaru Natsuki, coming between the two people who were in a stalemate.

He patted Elsa's wrist, and Elsa obediently released Cai Yue'ang's ankle, allowing him to stand up again.

"What - what are you going to do?" Subaru Natsuki asked a little nervously.

Morien did not answer, but asked a question.

"Do you want power?"

"What----"

"Do you want to protect her?" Morien pointed to the corner because Mana was a little overdrawn Emilia.

"Protect them?" He pointed at Rom who was lying in a pool of blood.

"Of course!" Subaru Natsuki replied without hesitation.

"Then what price are you willing to pay for this?" Morien asked with one hand on his hip.

"I----I'm willing to pay any price!" Subaru Natsuki replied after hesitating for less than half a second.

"Haha! You really don't use your brain at all when you talk!" Morien smiled happily, "But that's what makes it interesting."

He raised his hand and approached Subaru Natsuki.

There is a "pill" lying in the palm of your hand.

"Is this some kind of panacea? The kind that makes you ascend to immortality with just one bite?"

Because it is deeply influenced by Eastern culture, Japan actually has many legends about immortals, and there are also legends about taking elixirs and ascending to heaven.

"Absolutely." A weird smile appeared on Morien's face, "This is a Insect Eggs."

"Insect----Insect Eggs?" Subaru Natsuki was stunned.

"Yeah, a parasite."

"A parasite with a curse."

"Eat it and it will parasitize you, but it will also give you strength."

"What would you choose?"
