The boy's face turned pale as he heard Sergei's words. He stopped the little girl and said in a trembling voice: "You, don't come over. I, I'm very powerful. Don't, don't come over!"
Sergei smiled: "Blame yourself for seeing something you shouldn't have seen." Sergei's burly body approached the two of them. He stretched out his palms and lifted the boy's head.
The little boy desperately beat his arms in pain. His facial features were distorted in pain. The little girl standing behind him was frightened. She hurriedly hugged Sergei's thigh and begged: "Uncle, I beg you, don't hurt my brother, I beg you …"
Sergei kicked the girl away. She hit the wall behind her and fell to the ground. She couldn't get up for a long time.
"Leave them." Dudian suddenly said.
Sergei turned to look at him: "Leave them? They have seen our people. Although I don't know what your plan is, but they will certainly make trouble for us if the news leaks out. "
Dudian walked over and carried the boy to the side. The boy was still in shock as he looked at Dudian. He turned and ran to the little girl: "Sister, sister …" He helped the little girl up.
Dudian came to the front of the two: "Are you siblings?"
The boy looked up at Dudian's face. He couldn't see the slightest trace of anger on Dudian's face. He nervously replied: "Yes, yes."
"Really?"
The boy's heart tightened: "I'm not too sure. My sister has been with me since I was very young."
Dudian nodded: "What about your parents?"
"My father passed away a long time ago. My mother died of illness two years ago."
Dudian said: "Everyone else in the village has gone to take refuge. Why are you still here?"
"There is an entrance fee to enter the city behind the wall. I-I have no money so we can only hide here." The boy nervously replied.
Sergei sneered and said: "You need money to enter the city? How much is that? No matter how poor you two brats are, you should be able to fork out a few copper coins, right? If you really can't fork out the money, you can just sell some of the things here that you didn't take away. You're really stupid. "
When the boy heard his voice, his face turned pale and he hurriedly said, "No, it's not enough. In the past, the entrance fee was only two copper coins. Now that I heard that there are barbarians coming, the entrance fee has increased. Each person has to pay ten silver coins! Although the things here are valuable, the owner of the pawnshop has already left. There's no place to sell them, unless we go to another town. But the journey is long, and if we meet wild beasts or savages … "
Sergei frowned and didn't say anything.
Dean looked down at the two: "If you are willing, I still need two servants to take care of your food and clothing."
The boy was surprised. He looked up at Dean and hesitated for a moment: "I, I am afraid that we are clumsy …"
"It's okay to be stupid. You can learn."
The boy turned to look at the little girl, gritted his teeth, and said resolutely, "We are willing, please take us in!" After saying that, he pulled the little girl and kowtowed to the ground.
Dean didn't stop them. He saw that the boy didn't raise his head: "Get up. But from now on, you don't have to kneel to anyone, including me."
The boy pulled the little girl to stand up. He nodded as he heard Dean's words.
Dean asked: "What are your names?"
"My name is Gabriel." The boy pointed to the little girl: "My sister's name is Artemis."
Dudian looked at the boy: "Bandage the wound and let's go."
Gabriel hurriedly said as he saw Dean turn around: "Elder."
"Huh?"
"Can, can you wait for us? We have to pack up our luggage." Gabriel nervously said.
Sergei sneered: "Untactful little brat. What's the point of packing up your junk? From now on, the leftovers of your food are more expensive than the best things you have seen. Do you understand?"
Gabriel looked at Sergei in fear but summoned up the courage to speak to Dean's back: "Elder, my parents left us a token at home. I want to get it, please …"
"Go." Dudian agreed.
Gabriel was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Artemis along with her.
Dean and the other two followed behind Gabriel and Sergei. They came to a laundry creek behind the town. There were several slabs on both sides of the creek. Occasionally one or two small fish could be seen swimming down the creek.
On the hillside behind the stream, a shabby wooden shack sat alone. Gabriel saw that her sister was injured, so she asked her to wait at the foot of the hill while she climbed up the hill to the shack and entered it. After a few minutes, she came out, holding a small bundle in her hand, and ran down the hill quickly.
"Elder, I'm ready." Gabriel respectfully said as he led Artemis to Dean.
Dean looked at the bag in Gabriel's arms and nodded slightly. He turned away.
Dean looked for a few sets of clothes in the town. He asked Sergei and Gwyneth to carry Gabriel on their backs. They quickly went to the left gate of the Guardian Wall. Dean smeared a little charcoal on his face, pressed the bridge of his nose, and gently pulled it down. With a click, the bridge of his nose collapsed, and his whole appearance suddenly changed greatly. He looked mediocre and inconspicuous.
Sergei and Gwyneth also used the same method to adjust their appearance. Gabriel and Hercate were stunned by this skill, their small faces were full of surprise.
"Stop!" The guard stopped Dean and others.
Dean was prepared as he took out the badge of the Ryan family.
When the guard saw the pattern on the medal, he recognized it as the emblem of a noble family. His expression immediately changed. He bowed and smiled apologetically, "So it's my lord. Please, please." He immediately stepped aside.
Dean took the lead to enter the city and rented a small hotel. He asked Sergei and Gwyneth to bandage the wounds of Gabriel and Artemis: "Stay here and don't expose your traces."
"What about you?" Sergei asked.
"I'm going to the Temple." Dean pushed open the window of the hotel and saw dark clouds hanging over his head. The hazy weather was depressing. It was estimated that many people were out of breath due to the pressure of such weather.
"Go to the Temple?" Sergei frowned.
Gwyneth who had been silent said: "Do you want us to sneak back and inform the Ryan family? Although they have declined but at least they can help us to inquire about the situation."
Dean shook his head: "The enemy will keep an eye on them if they want to deal with us. At this time we will expose our traces."
Sergei looked at Dean: "Do you want to deal with the Mellon consortium by yourself?"
