The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 160 Justice and Revenge

The Rich Hostess is a famous adventurer tavern in Orario. Even big families like the Loki family often report banquets here.

The tavern is highly praised by adventurers for its first-class food and lovely staff.

Including the proprietress, there are many characters in the tavern who are not simple characters.

The proprietress Mia Grando, former leader of the Freya Familia, adventurer level LV6.

Elf waiter Liu Liang, a former LV4 adventurer.

There are two cat-human waiters, one of whom is Aniya Fromo, a former LV4 adventurer of the Freya Familia with the title of Chariot's clone.

The other one is also LV4, but he is not an adventurer, but Chloe Lolo (the black cat) who has a 100% mission success rate in the assassination world.

The other two human waiters are equally extraordinary. Among them, Seele is the clone of the beauty goddess Freya.

The last one was a member of the Demeter Familia before joining the Mistress of Harvest. She is a LV4 bounty hunter and has the same 100% mission completion rate (Black Fist) Lunova Fast.

Good guy, there is one LV6, four LV4 and a goddess clone in a tavern. Most of Orario's Familia do not have this configuration.

Charles had never been to this tavern before because he was worried about attracting Freya's attention.

But this time, because of Lyu's loss of control, a lot of things that should be exposed and things that shouldn't be exposed were exposed, so Ciel no longer had any worries.

Led by the two men, Charles arrived at this most famous tavern.

After arranging Charles to sit down, Xier ran to the kitchen, and soon Charles saw a tall and strong woman coming out.

The woman affectionately called "Mia's Mother" by the clerk is a first-level adventurer at LV6, and Ciel can clearly sense the terrifying power in her.

It’s scary! Mia, who is 1.8 meters tall, is a dwarf, and her title is (Little Giant).

He's 1.8 meters tall... I really don't know what the definition of a dwarf is!

Mia walked up to Charles and said, "You've never seen this kid before! It's your first time coming to our store."

I heard that my store clerk did something very rude to you, so let me entertain you as compensation! I will arrange the menu, so just relax and enjoy it!"

Charles said: "There was just a little misunderstanding. It will be fine if it is resolved."

Mia patted Charles on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Kid, I didn't expect you to be a decent man. Just look forward to my craftsmanship!"

Charles nodded and said, "Then I'm welcome."

Mia glanced at Lyu who was sitting opposite Ciel, sighed and turned back to the kitchen to prepare food without saying anything.

Ciel put the earrings on the table. Looking at this thing that had been worn on the ears of his enemy, Lyu began to feel uneasy again.

But this time she finally controlled it, looked at the things on the table and said, "This thing...where did you get it?"

Charles said: "I met a man wearing this thing in the dungeon before. Yes, it is the man you are thinking of, Jaru of the Rudra family."

"Where is he?" Lyu said through gritted teeth, and Ciel seemed to be burning with the flame of hatred in her body.

Charles shook his head and said: "You will never see him again!"

Lyu was stunned for a moment and looked at Ciel in confusion.

Ciel pointed to the earrings on the table and said: "Do you think he would give this to me willingly? That guy's body has probably been eaten by the monsters on the 27th floor until there is nothing left."

"He...is dead?"

For a moment, Lyu couldn't figure out how she should feel when she heard the news.

Are you happy? You should indeed be happy. The murderer who caused the death of your best friend finally died in that place, and even the corpse was used as food by the monster.

Are you disappointed? After all, I didn't take revenge on him personally, so it's normal to feel disappointed.

Anyway, Lyu felt like a tangled ball of thread in her heart, and she couldn't figure it out.

Ciel looked at the complicated expression on Lyu's face and let out a long sigh.

He seems to always meet such characters who are in trouble. Seeing their pain and entanglement, Ciel can't help but want to solve them.

"Miss Liu, I have also heard about the Astralia family."

Hearing the familiar name, Lyu raised his head and looked at Ciel.

Charles continued: "After meeting Jaro, I also investigated some things about him, and unexpectedly learned about Miss Liu and the Astralia family.

Although I have never met the goddess, I have learned some of her ideas of justice."

Astraea is the goddess of justice. The justice she pursues is not like the navy next door that succumbs to power.

From the perspective of a modern person in Ciel, this goddess's concept of justice is most consistent with his understanding of this concept.

Ciel couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he came to this world too late! If he could have come to Orario before the tragedy happened, Ciel would definitely not let it happen.

A bitter expression appeared on Lyu's face as he said, "Am I still qualified to mention that Lord and justice now?"

Ciel finally understood what Lyu was struggling with.

The disaster five years ago took away the life of her best friend. Since then, revenge has become the whole meaning of her life.

For this reason, she asked her main god to leave Orario, which also meant that she completely gave up on the justice she had always upheld with her companions.

So she used all means in the process of revenge, including torture, traps, poisons, and assassinations. She completely gave up the bottom line, not to mention the elf's usual elegance and nobility.

Justice, this was the only thing left to her by her close friends besides broken weapons, but she abandoned it for revenge.

But she has no regrets. If she had to choose again, she would still take up the sharp blade of revenge. But this does not mean that she will not suffer from it.

Ciel just didn't understand this and said, "Is there a conflict between revenge and justice? Many people say that revenge is meaningless and can only bring pain and more hatred.

But that’s not right! Revenge is meaningful. At least for the perpetrators and victims, it is the punishment and rest they deserve. Isn’t this justice?”

Seeing the pain on Lyu's face, Ciel didn't think that what he just said could relieve her knot.

So he continued: "The only thing where revenge is meaningless is for the avenger himself. Even if revenge is successful, the dead people will not come back, and the pain will not disappear."

Lyu couldn't agree more with this. In the past few years after her revenge, she always thought about how she would have died on the 27th floor with her companions.

Ciel looked into Lyu's eyes and said loudly: "That's why we have to work hard to live, because the Avengers bear not only hatred, but also the lives of their lost companions.

Your life is the proof of their lives. Even if you are accused of being shameless, you must live strong. This way their sacrifices will not be in vain."

Ciel looked away and did not continue to speak. Lyu also lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and the surrounding area became quiet.

Bang!

Mia must have been observing from the side. After the two fell silent, she walked over and placed the dinner plate in front of her.

The sizzling and oily steak exuded an alluring aroma, and the thick sauce made Charles swallow his saliva subconsciously.

Mia said cheerfully: "This is specially made for you. Men just want to eat and drink. This is one of the romances of adventurers."

Then she placed a large wine glass in front of Charles.

"I bought this cup, thank you very much! You are obviously my shop assistant, but I am troublesome to enlighten you."

Ciel put the steak into his mouth and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

Mia smiled and turned around to get other dishes.

Lyu was silent, while Ciel just buried his head in eating and drinking. When Lyu came back to his senses, there was only a pile of empty plates in front of him, and Ciel had already left.
