Ordinary travelers get a silver coin by taking a 'ride', but Liang Lidong doesn't need it. A spell caster like him is willing to join the caravan and travel together, which is a great thing for the caravan. ±, the caster represents a strong combat power, and it is a strong deterrent to anyone. With one more spell caster in the caravan, the caravan's itinerary will be safer and more reassuring.
The owner of the caravan is indeed a businessman. Under his propaganda, the news that a spellcaster joined their caravan to Danyang City spread quickly throughout Songfeng City. In just half a day, many travelers found his caravan, and there were other caravans who were willing to pay some 'safety fees' just to take them along.
With just this news, the owner of the caravan earned more than one gold coin. In Liang Lidong's view, this money was very little, but in fact, the caravan transported more than a dozen donkey carts to the
In Danyang City, the net profit is only a little more than two gold coins. For spellcasters, this amount of money is nothing, but for ordinary people, it is a huge sum of money.
Liang Lidong naturally knew about this, but he didn't care. The owner of the caravan knows how to take advantage of the situation to fight for his own interests. This is normal. Anyway, it did not harm Liang Lidong's vital interests. It is someone else's ability to make some money for himself without harming other people's interests. , others are not demanding.
As for Liang Lidong, he thought so.
The owner of the caravan is called Denver, a very common name.
Denver people also look very ordinary, and their personality is also that of an ordinary businessman, who emphasizes harmony and wealth. But he has an unusual daughter.
After the caravan was on the road, Liang Lidong was invited to a donkey cart dedicated to Denver. This cart was more comfortable, but of course it was far inferior to the carriages dedicated to nobles.
Dan Fu is a well-informed person who has traveled far and wide, so he was able to chat with Liang Lidong. On a long trip like this, it would be boring if there was no one to talk to. The two chatted all over the world, from the snowy winter plain in the north, the desert kingdom in the south, and the barbarian land in the west. We talked about the elf forest in the east, and finally we talked about Denver's daughter.
His daughter is a magician, the magician of the Colorless Tower.
After hearing the introduction, Liang Lidong was very moved. As long as the players are willing, as long as they 'add points' correctly when creating characters, everyone can become a magician, but np is different, it is very difficult to become a magician. Leaving aside the issue of talent, the money for learning magic alone can make most people despair.
The Colorless Magic Tower is a place to train space-type magicians, and it is a spellcaster who needs more talent. If Danver's daughter can enter the Colorless Magic Tower, she is already a one-in-a-million talent.
Seeing Liang Lidong's surprised expression, Danver was very proud, and he talked about his daughter's good points with great enthusiasm.
She is very pretty. She is sweet and considerate, the cutest daughter in the whole world.
Money earned by Denver. Almost all of them are sent to my daughter, so that she can learn magic with peace of mind. After all, learning magic is a very expensive thing.
"My daughter has studied magic for five years, and she has learned three magics. I remember one called space folding, one called curve acceleration, and the other called star explosion!" Denver's words were full of strong pride: "Look Looking at such a magic name, it sounds like a powerful magic."
Liang Lidong frowned. Although these three spells could barely be considered magic, the names sound scary, but the others should be classified as tricks... This is the lowest level. The most ineffective magic is also the little trick used by crooks pretending to be bards to deceive ordinary people.
After five years of learning three tricks... This is already a symbol of not having much skill. To be honest, Liang Lidong is not optimistic about her daughter's future. Maybe she can barely learn one or two low-level magic tricks in the future. A high-ranking magician, but in the eyes of fellow professionals, he is the lowest one.
But Liang Lidong didn't intend to tell the truth. Everyone has the belief to fight for it. For Denver, earning money for his daughter to learn magic is his lifelong goal.
Then Liang Lidong learned the name of Denver's daughter, Martha Monroe.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. During these three days, Liang Lidong and Danfu also developed some friendship. Before leaving, Liang Lidong said to Denver: "If one day, your daughter encounters any difficulties Now, you can let her come to Reed Village near Winterwind City to find me, and I am the bishop there. Of course, if it is something beyond my scope, I will take care of myself."
"It's natural." Denver was overjoyed. He knew very well how rare and difficult it was for a spellcaster to make a promise.
Then at the gate of Danyang City, Liang Lidong parted ways with the caravan.
It was noon at this time, and although it was summer, Danyang City was built among the mountains, so the temperature here was several degrees lower than other cities on the same latitude. Coupled with the relationship between the mountain wind blowing, the whole city looked very refreshing .
There seems to be no big difference between Danyang City and Dongfeng City in terms of urban planning and layout. If you insist, there are more beggars here than in Dongfeng City. Liang Lidong saw many beggars or Squatting or sitting on both sides of the street, they bask in the sun, their clothes are ragged, and their expressions are numb.
Among the beggars were men, women and children, Liang Lidong even saw a little beggar marked with lv1.
A beggar professional? Beggars? Or is it a hidden job
About three hours ago, shortly after Liang Lidong came out of the ruins, a robbery happened on the rich man's street in Danyang City. woman was taken away.
The magistrate was furious about this, and sent all the people out, and soon they found clues, and found a naked lady in a sewer ditch, her whole body was covered with white stains. The traces, mixed with the black mud in the stinking ditch, turned into an ambiguous gray.
The power behind this noble lady is not considered weak, a dozen beggars would not have the guts to touch her, unless there is something ulterior motive behind it, the magistrate checked for two days, but found nothing. Angry, a massacre of beggars spread across the city began.
Jessica was a beggar, she had been a beggar as long as she could remember, and she had been a beggar for seven years. She couldn't remember who her parents were, but she still remembered her name, Jessica.
This is also a very common female name. There are not hundreds, at least fifty, of women named Jessica in Danyang City.
The name Jessica is very common. But she is not ordinary, or it should be said that Jessica feels that she is not ordinary.
She has a good nose and sharp teeth.
Generally speaking, every beggar's teeth are very sharp, but her teeth are different. Her two canine teeth are longer than ordinary people, so she can bite the bones into pieces and eat them in her stomach.
The marrow in the bones is very nutritious. Four-year-old Jessica could crush bones, so she survived, thin and smelly.
She was originally a little beggar who begged for food on the streets of the rich district, where the rich people often threw out the leftover bones, so for her, the rich district was her territory, as long as other beggars dared to come in. She just pounced on to fight with others, even though she was small. But with this ruthlessness, she 'built' a small piece of land in the rich area, living like a stray dog.
Until yesterday's beggar raid.
Jessica felt that she was very powerful, but she was not confident enough to fight against a dozen city guards, or in other words, she couldn't deal with any of them.
These city guards didn't know what went crazy. If you saw a beggar, you would chop it up. If it wasn't for Jessica's sharp nose, she would have smelled blood early on. If she hadn't been vigilant in advance, she would immediately run out of the city as soon as she saw those city guards approaching with bloody weapons. . Otherwise, she would die at the hands of those murderous guards.
Jessica and many fast-footed beggars ran outside the city. The massacre in the city lasted all night. When she returned the next day, she found that many familiar faces had disappeared, and the whole city was full of blood.
Jessica no longer dared to go back to the rich area. She was very scared, and now she was staying near the gate of the city. Whenever something went wrong, she would run out of the city.
There are no people here at the city gate, and even if there are, they are poor people. They hardly throw out food because they don't have enough food for themselves.
So now Jessica is hungry, terribly hungry. In the morning, a noble child came here at the gate of the city, a little boy about her age. A head of supple dark blond hair tied into a single horsehair tied behind his back, with delicate features, he watched the beggars on both sides of the street from the tall carriage, with sympathy on his face, and then he grabbed a handful of copper coins from the carriage, thrown into the street.
At that time, the beggars who escaped from the massacre were almost all concentrated near the gate of the city. The throwing out of this handful of copper coins attracted at least a hundred beggars to snap up, and Jessica was among them.
The handsome noble boy was lying on the window of the carriage, looking at the group of beggars looting copper coins, looking at his masterpiece, and laughing loudly.
Jessica snatched a copper coin from the crowd, and then she went to the grocery store and bought three loaves of bread, the best food she had ever eaten. Originally, one copper coin could buy six loaves, but the shopkeeper said that she was too smelly and affected her business, so she had to deduct three of her loaves.
Jessica didn't think it was wrong, she even thought that was the reason, who told her to be a smelly and dirty beggar.
Eating the bread beautifully, Jessica was a little grateful to the little boy, thinking he was a good man, and at least gave herself three breads to eat. After eating the bread, Jessica leaned sideways to bask in the sun. Ever since she was a child, she liked to bask in the sun after eating. She thought it was because she often basked in the sun, so she was not too afraid of the cold.
Danyang City is very cold every winter, and many beggars freeze to death every winter, but Jessica can always endure it.
The sunshine was so comfortable that one was about to fall asleep, but suddenly Jessica heard a commotion among the beggars, and then quickly quieted down. She opened her eyes curiously, and then saw a young man in a red robe coming from Walking in from outside the city gate, he has bright golden hair, shining brightly under the sun.
Priest, caster!
Seeing him, no matter the city gate guards, passers-by, or beggars like them, they all tightly shut their mouths, not daring to take a breath.
Jessica shivered all over, and then immediately prostrated herself on the ground. Everyone was afraid of spellcasters, and Jessica was no exception. But for some reason, she felt that this priest was 'scary'. The pressure forced her to surrender. She has lived in Danyang City for seven years, and has seen spell casters several times, but never has one made her feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.
Especially when the caster looked over, she felt her whole body twitching.
But fortunately, the caster quickly looked away, then left, walking towards the center of the city.
After the person left, the gate of the city, which had been silent for a long time, finally came alive. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. Jessica patted her chest. She was so scared that she almost peed. spilled out.
Everyone hopes to be a spellcaster, and Jessica is no exception. Of course, she knows this is just a luxury, so her ideal is to be a maid.
It's not difficult to be a maid, you just need to sweep the floor, light the fire, and cook a meal, but you can get a small room to stay in, a quilt to sleep on, and you won't be hungry all day.
But no one wants to find her as a maid, because she is smelly, dirty, and a beggar. But she heard that as long as a woman grows up and has two big steamed buns, she can easily become a maid. Nobles and gentlemen like big steamed buns. As long as there are big steamed buns, women will have a way to survive.
Jessica is convinced of this, because almost all beggars are men, and even if there are female beggars, they are either dirty and thin little girls like her, or thin women without big steamed buns.
After the caster left for a long time, Jessica finally calmed down completely. Just as she was about to continue basking in the sun, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the city. She straightened her body and saw that it was the Rose Mercenary Group coming from outside the city. came back.
The leader is a glamorous and beautiful mercenary, she has fiery red hair, and two big steamed buns covered by white leather armor, Jessica recognizes her, the head of the rose mercenary group, Jessica Lu oo.
Everyone is called 'Jessica', but the trajectory of life is completely different.
There were thirteen members of the Rose Mercenary Group who came back from the outside. The last three members of the team dragged a huge beast at the same time. This beast was a giant wild boar with a length of five meters. Its two long tusks were at least two meters long. Looks like they've pulled off a mission with a high commission.
so good! If I am also a professional, maybe I can become a person like her. Jessica couldn't help thinking this way.
Jessica Ruth is a celebrity in Danyang City, and little Jessica naturally recognized her. When the latter was imagining what kind of life she would have if she were also a professional, she heard a crisp sound.
A silver coin landed in front of him, still spinning. And in the middle of the street, Jessica Ruth gave her a friendly smile as she walked by. (… )
