"Sir, you won't be able to use so many matches.”
"Besides, my matches are very cheap. They don't cost that much.”
The girl in red stretched out her trembling hands.
She carefully picked up the gold coin, which was several times more valuable than all her assets combined.
There was an indescribable desire in his eyes.
If she had this gold coin, she would be able to survive this winter.
He didn't have to live in a cold slum with a few leaky rooms and think about what to eat for his next meal.
Even though she yearned for it, she still firmly returned the gold coins to Rhode.
"This one is for you. It's money for the match.”
Rhode didn't extend his hand. Instead, he took out another gold coin from his pocket.
"As for this one, it's my reward for being honest with you.”
Rhode handed the two gold coins to the young lady.
He took the basket of delicately wrapped matches.
"Beautiful matches. In my eyes, they are more valuable than two gold coins.”
He looked at the girl who wanted to say something but hesitated.
Rhode smiled and comforted her.
"This money is just a meal for me. Even if it's a waiter in the tavern, I'll tip him a few gold coins when I'm in a good mood.”
"If you don't feel good about it, use the extra money to help those orphans who are as pitiful as you.”
Sometimes, too much money would attract disaster and greed.
If he gave her two gold coins, she would be able to live through the winter.
If he had given her a bag of gold coins, this girl in red might not have survived the night.
He had once tipped a gold coin in a tavern, which attracted the greed of two adventurers.
There were many people who would take risks for a bag of gold.
"Sir, you are a good person!"
"My name is Britney. I will always remember your kindness today!”
Britney held the two gold coins in her hands, her face full of gratitude.
Rhode waved his hand and walked towards the hotel with a basket of matches.
"Benevolent sir, although I don't know why you're helping her, for the sake of your own life, I advise you to stay away from this girl in the future.”
When they passed by a tailor shop, a middle-aged woman sitting at the door with nothing to do advised them in a low voice.
"According to what you're saying, getting too close to her will be life-threatening?”
Rhode stopped in his tracks and became interested.
He felt that the owner of this tailor shop might know some secrets that he did not.
"This girl is cursed by the devil. Her life is destined to be poor and hungry, and anyone who comes near her will suffer.”
"Tell me in detail."
Rhode had a look of eagerness on his face.
The owner of the tailor shop didn't want to be a busybody.
But after Rhode took out a gold coin, his expression immediately turned warm.
She had no choice. He had given her too much, and she could not reject him.
Reality proved that money could really do whatever it wanted.
"This little girl's parents died a long time ago. She grew up with her grandmother. A few years ago, her grandmother also died.”
"The little girl made a living by selling matches. Many people saw that she was pitiful and couldn't help but help her. At first, there was nothing special about her.”
"But soon, something strange happened. No matter how much money she had on her, she would lose it. It wasn't stolen, but disappeared inexplicably.”
"Moreover, all kinds of accidents will happen to those who help her. They will be very unlucky if it's light, and even lose their limbs if it's serious.”
Tsk!
What was this called?
The cursed lone star in the fairytale world?
Even a fool could see that there was definitely something wrong.
"No one told her about this?”
"I did, but it was useless. She would forget about it every other day.”
The tailor shop owner shook his head helplessly.
It would be great if it was useful to tell him.
"Did you forget, or did someone deliberately delete this memory?”
Rhode rubbed his chin.
What kind of thing had the ability to tamper with other people's memories and thoughts?
Except for some rare deformed mutants.
It seemed that the most famous one was the devil.
Although devils and demons were only one word apart, they were two completely different races.
The latter lived on blood and destruction, and was known for its strangeness and evil.
The former was more like a businessman.
However, they were a bunch of profiteers.
Demons were good at playing with other people's minds, weaving all kinds of contract traps until the target willingly walked into their own traps step by step.
The only similarity between demons and devils was that they liked souls the most.
However, demons liked souls filled with hatred and fear.
Demons were more picky, and they preferred high-quality souls that were rare.
"First it was the demons, and now it's the devils.”
It was a small place, but there was a lot of trouble.
The corners of Rhode's lips curled up.
Stretching his back, he walked towards the hotel. Who cares about his schemes? He would talk about them tomorrow.
In the face of absolute strength, all kinds of schemes were just decorations.
Back at the hotel, the room was dimly lit.
Ufemiya, who was in her pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed with her head lowered, waiting for her master to purify her demonic energy.
His fingers were stirring, his mood was tense, and he was even slightly looking forward to it.
"The devil qi in your body has been purified. The remaining devil qi is hidden very deeply and is very stubborn.”
Rhode inspected the remaining demonic aura in her body and said with a stern face.
Ufemiya was slightly flustered. This was the first time she had seen her master so serious.
"Then, then what should we do!"
"It's very difficult to completely cure the residual demonic Qi in your body with only ordinary purification methods. It's best to treat it both internally and externally. At the same time, take holy water to exorcise the demonic Qi.”
"Sacred Water?"
Ufemiya's eyes widened. Although she didn't really understand, she was shocked.
Wasn't the holy water supposed to be sprinkled inside and outside the body? How could it be ingested?
"Yes, drinking holy water has the effect of exorcism.”
Rhode said seriously.
Spring of Life = Holy Spring
Spring water from the Fountain of Life = Holy Water
He took the Spring of Life, so he was the Holy Spring.
A set of standard formulas automatically appeared in his mind, and his confidence in purifying the magical energy increased greatly.
After consuming the Spring of Life, he was no longer the same as before.
"Now, you have to have a devout heart and kneel on the ground to pray.”
Rhode directed the most accurate purification method.
In this world, there were gods. If one was devout enough, there would naturally be gods who would bestow grace.
I wonder if the sun is considered a god?
Rhode thought for a moment and felt that he could be considered a god.
With that, the requirements for gods, holy water, and demonic energy purification were met.
"Be good, open your mouth!"
