The little ghost sat on the stump, looking at the two gold coins in her hand with imnse joy. This was the first money she had ever earned. With this, she should be able to buy food. Finally, she wouldn't have to eat those earthworms and wood shavings anymore.
"Hmm, I just don't know who would sell to ."
The little ghost was exceptionally strong. If she wanted to find work, she still could. But the problem with herself was that even if she covered her face, the sense of revulsion she caused wouldn't go away.
There were often people who couldn't stand the sight of the little ghost and would assault her. Yet, no one would ever guess how beautiful the little ghost's original appearance was, although the word 'beautiful' was quite common in this world.
It was always 'the most beautiful in the world' or 'the most beautiful in the entire kingdom'.
The little ghost had obtained inco. According to the agreent with that queen regarding her firstborn, everything about her belonged to the gno. So, after the little ghost got the two gold coins, the gno naturally ca over to reclaim them.
"Little ghost, oh little ghost, let's make a deal. As long as you give the two gold coins, I can restore your ordinary appearance."
The gno got straight to the point as soon as he appeared. Whether this reason was true or false, the little ghost felt a stir. Wasn't all her misery caused by her own appearance? From the mont she was born until now.
"Ordinary appearance? Is that really possible? If I change back, that knight would be happy to see , right?"
"Yes, yes. As long as you give the money you earned and then help chop these trees into firewood, as a trade, I will give you an ordinary appearance."
The gno said this without any burden on his conscience. What's the harm in teasing her? After all, the ghost was entirely his private property, his possession. Naturally, he could play with her however he wanted.
"Two gold coins isn't enough. So ordinary people can't save up even one gold coin in half a year. How co it's so cheap in your hands?"
Beihai strolled out from the depths of the forest. Following the little ghost had indeed been the right move;
he had lured out the key character in one go.
"Oh dear, by the way, I heard you can also prophesy. Why don't you do a divination for yourself? When will you die?
Actually, that doesn't sound right either. If you could really tell your own fortune, you wouldn't have appeared before today."
Beihai was still sowhat wary of a gno who knew magic.
The little ghost was now caught between the two, unsure what to do. Should she hide behind the gno or behind that knight?
After a re 0.01 seconds of thought, the little ghost hid behind the knight. This wasn't just innate favorability;
more simply put, a being like the little ghost was easiest to win over.
If it was love at first sight for the prince and princess, then for the little ghost, you only needed a piece of bread to abduct her without any burden.
That sounds a bit exaggerated, and putting it into practice isn't easy either, given the little ghost's appearance and the innate revulsion buff she carried. Who would care for her?
The gno reacted at this point, but he wasn't flustered at all. A re physical warrior, a guy with nothing but muscles in his head. If Beihai knew magic, he'd be a bit more apprehensive.
What a pity. The other party was just a muscle-bound brute. Physical attacks couldn't harm him. In summary, the advantage was his!
"Haha, I have no relationship with you, do I? And she is mine to begin with. Who are you helping? Helping that ghost? But she is originally my property. How I dispose of her is none of your business."
Beihai was also a bit troubled. Seeing injustice and speaking out was the right thing to do. The deal between the gno and the other party seed fine. The queen wanted beauty, and the other party demanded everything about her daughter. How it was handled wasn't sothing a third party could interfere with.
But screw all that, it's none of my business!
"So what? I just don't like you, what are you gonna do? Now I give you two choices. I buy the little ghost from you with gold coins, then chop you to death. Or, I chop you to death right now."
"What's the difference between the two?"
The gno really didn't understand why so words could be arranged like that.
"Of course there's a difference. If you choose the first one, you get to live a little longer."
Beihai drew his ordinary sword and, taking advantage of the gno's unpreparedness, stabbed it into the gno's heart and gave it a couple of twists.
The gno didn't move. Ordinary weapons couldn't harm him at all. "A re human dares to oppose , who possesses magic? Do you think I haven't heard of your deeds? Although you've slain dragons, fought demons, dealt with witches...
To sum it up, you are no match for !"
The gno imdiately cast a spell. He wasn't planning to choose a direct assault, nor did he intend to cast a curse. Those were aningless.
In close combat, he was no match for a dragon. In terms of magic curses, he was no match for a demon. After much thought, only banishnt remained. He just needed to throw this knight to the other side of the continent.
Even if he tried to rush back, without several decades, he simply couldn't return. Plus, the other party was ddling in others' business. By the ti he ca back, the gno would have long finished his tasks and slipped away!
Beihai felt his vision blur and inexplicably found himself on a deserted island.
A gentle sea breeze blew, waves rolled, a crab crawled past Beihai's feet, there were sponges and starfish, and a hamster was chasing sothing behind him.
Wait, why are there sponges?
"No, that's not the point. What the hell am I doing here?"
Beihai stuck his sword into the ground, hopped in place a couple of tis, and finally chose to take out Aladdin's Lamp from his backpack and rub it a few tis with his hand.
"Co out, Aladdin's Lamp! Tell the gno's location!"
"As you wish. Damn it, I'm finally not useless. But before that, let grab a seashell for a new ho first."
"Get lost. Ti is tight, the mission is urgent. Just tell the direction now. I'll do a standing long jump over there."
