Chapter 621 Paying Justice

"Hurry up and get out!" The girl stamped her feet angrily.

The two stunned thieves on the opposite side shivered at the same time, hurriedly stepped forward to help Nelson with a bruised nose and face, and fled the street in desperation.

This farce delighted the surrounding crowd, and they all applauded and applauded the young swordsman who fought against the injustice.

Joan stood in the crowd, looking curiously at the girl with twin ponytails, and was surprised that she was able to cast "Colorful Jet" between sword swings and battles.

Under normal circumstances, casting a spell like "Colorful Spray" requires at least three seconds to prepare for the ceremony, including taking spell-casting materials, making spell-casting gestures, chanting spell-casting mantras, and a series of links. No matter which link goes wrong, the spell will fail. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of concentration during the casting of the spell, and it is difficult to distract from fighting with the sword.

However, the spell-casting method of the twin-tailed girl just now subverted Joan's concept. It was impossible for her to have enough time to prepare for the spell-casting ceremony the moment she swung the giant sword. It only took less than a second to successfully cast the "Colorful Jet" , except for a short spell activation incantation, materials and gestures seem to be omitted. How is this done?

There are indeed techniques to shorten the spell-casting process in the world, such as an advanced super-magic skill called "Instant Spell Casting", which can help mages save the lengthy process and complete the spell-casting with a single thought.

But "Instant Spell" is like most other super magic skills. It needs to increase the rank of the spell as the price of simplifying the casting process, and this cost is very high. A 1st-level spell such as "Colorful Spray" requires at least Occupies a 5th ring spell slot!

The girl with twin ponytails on the opposite side looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old at most. Judging from her exquisite sword skills, she doesn't look like a professional spellcaster like a "Mage" or "Warlock". It is unlikely that she has 5 rings On the contrary, if she is really a high-level spellcaster, there is no need to use the sword to teach the three thieves.

The more Joan thought about it, the more puzzled she became. It just so happened that the 2-ring "Advanced Internal Vision" that was blessed just now is still in effect. Do you want to secretly check the details of the girl opposite, so as to solve the mystery in your heart?

After a moment of impulsiveness, Joan immediately woke up and warned himself to get rid of such impolite thoughts.

"Hi~ Friends from afar, aren't you scared?" The girl sheathed her sword, turned around and smiled kindly at Joan, "I hope you don't leave any bad news to my hometown, Freeport, because of today's unpleasant encounter." impression."

"That's not enough... Thank you for standing up and upholding justice for us." Joan was a little embarrassed to thank this beautiful and upright girl.

The girl with ponytails pursed her lips and smiled, her dark eyes shone with narrow brilliance, and the next sentence destroyed the glorious image she had just established in Qiao An's mind with her own hands.

"There's no need for verbal politeness. If you really appreciate it, you can give me some reward." He stretched out his hand to Joan without shame, and the action of begging for money was very skillful.

Joan froze on the spot, suspecting that the other party was joking.

Holden was also full of disbelief, and he raised his voice and asked the girl, "Hey! You're not serious, are you? You still have to pay for injustice?"

"What's the matter, can't you collect money for doing good deeds?" The girl with two ponytails retorted confidently.

"That's true."

Although the Three Views were strongly impacted, Qiao An had to admit that her logic was impeccable, so why should she ask others to pay for nothing?

You must know that fighting against injustice is also a risk, and it may lead to retaliation. If you are favored by others, you should spend some money to repay the other party.

However, usually the beneficiary offers the reward, and the benefactor asks for it, which is somewhat indecent. The girl with two ponytails took the initiative to ask for a reward, which shows that she is not a person who values ​​fame. Although she seems a bit philistine, she is also straightforward.

This may be able to reflect the difference in social atmosphere between the north and the south of the New World from one aspect.

Southerners generally care about saving face. In order to win the reputation of generosity and hospitality, they would rather "swell their faces to make them fat", while northerners pay more attention to real money benefits.

Thinking of this, Joan opened the purse, first took out three Gold Durga, thought for a while, added two more, and handed them to the girl with two ponytails.

Just like that, he was still worried that the girl would laugh at him for being petty, and he blushed before she opened his mouth. He couldn't help feeling that the growing environment had a huge impact on a person's character, and it was difficult for him to overcome the vanity-loving nature of southerners.

"Are these... enough?"

"Enough is enough!" The money-obsessed girl quickly took the gold coin, put it in her pocket, and said to Joan with a smile on her face: "Little brother, you are so generous! My name is Hailar Green, a local, let's make friends Bar!"

"Joan Vida, from Alfheim." Joan added in his heart, "I'm poor, and I can't afford a friend like you."

"Wait first!" Holden suddenly took a step forward, blocking Joann behind him, his face was rarely smiling, his eyes were wide open, and he made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Hailar, "Miss , To tell you the truth, I am not as easy to fool as Joan, you are very smart, but unfortunately you use your smartness in the wrong place!"

Hailaer also put away his smile, and asked in displeasure, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Do you still want me to say it in public?"

"Nonsense! If you don't understand what you say, how will I know what you mean!"

The two choked in the street, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger, making Qiao An uneasy and at a loss.

He could guess what Holden was suspecting, but he felt that it was okay to think about this kind of thing in his heart, and it was best not to say it in public, otherwise the two sides would tear their skins apart, and it would really end badly.

"Hehe~ Originally, I wanted to save some face for you. Since you keep pretending to be confused, don't blame me for exposing your hypocritical mask in public!"

Holden's sonorous voice and stern face attracted a lot of noise from the surrounding crowd.

Perhaps because of his influence, the eyes of people looking at Hailaer have also become subtle, revealing faint doubts.

"Actually, everyone can see that those three little thieves just now are no match for Joan and me. No matter whether you make a move or not, they will receive the punishment they deserve, and they won't get even a copper coin from us!" Holden sneered, and continued, "At this critical juncture, you suddenly jumped out, forced to play the role of fighting the injustice, and performed a set of tricks that looked cool, beating off the three thieves and earning 5 dollars by the way. It's a small gold coin, it's really easy to calculate! By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you'll have to find those three thieves later, and share some of their benefits. After all, raising a dog requires feeding a piece of meat from time to time. Bones, not to mention a supporting role with superb acting skills—”

"do not talk!"

Joan saw that Hailaer's eyes were red, and he moved his right hand to the hilt of the sword behind him. He interrupted Holden quickly and dragged him out of the crowd.
