There are five countries in the Tianyuan Continent, namely the Tianjin Empire in the north, the Huasheng Empire in the south, the Sunset Empire in the west, and the Suoyu Federation in the east. The horn-shaped land is the most famous Holy See on the Tianyuan Continent. Among the four kingdoms, except for the relationship between the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire, the other countries can live in peace. Every year, each country has to pay a certain "protection fee" to the Holy See as the Holy See's expenses.
The humans in the Tianjin Empire are almost all Caucasian, with tall stature and blond hair and blue eyes, while the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire are all yellow, with black hair and black eyes. The only federal state on the mainland, the Suoyu Federation, has a relatively complex race, including whites, yellows, and strong blacks. Many foreign races also live in the federation. In terms of overall strength alone, the Suoyu Federation, which is composed of six ethnic groups, is the most powerful, while the other three countries have similar armed forces.
In addition to humans, there are also some rare races on the mainland, such as the kind-hearted elves, the bad-tempered dwarves, the winged humans who can sing and dance, and the rare half-orcs who only live in dense forests. And the most mysterious dark demons and legendary dragons. These races, which are few in number compared to humans, are scattered among various countries, and have peacefully coexisted with humans for thousands of years. However, due to different living habits, alien races generally live in sparsely populated valleys or forests, and rarely come into contact with humans.
Although the Holy See occupies only a small area on the mainland, the Holy See has the supreme status on the mainland. Except for a very small number of atheists, almost all human beings are loyal believers of the Holy See. The clergy are the most respected professions. In the Holy See, the Pope has the highest authority. Under the Pope, there are four priests in red to assist the Pope in handling the affairs of the Holy See. They are also called cardinals. Under the priests in red are twelve priests in white. When more than half of the priests in red and priests in white believe that the Pope has made a major mistake, they can impeach the Pope. However, the promotion of the Pope is very strict. , has not yet appeared to impeach the Pope. Under the white-clothed priests, there are high-level priests, intermediate priests, ordinary priests, and preliminary sacrifices. The priests are also called monks or goddesses. The clergy in the Holy See are not forbidden to marry, but the partner of the marriage must be the most loyal believer of the Holy See. There is another reason why the clergy are respected, and that is because they are all light magicians. If they want to be promoted to the position of white-clothed priests, they are required to have a level above that of light magicians. The wizards on the mainland have never reached triple digits. The power of the red-clothed priests is even more unfathomable. It was once said that if the four major red-clothed priests and the twelve white-clothed priests of the Holy See attack at the same time, the power of their bright magic can be equivalent to the sum of all the forces of any country. The promotion of the pope is generally selected by the priests in red, and it needs to go through extremely strict procedures. After electing a new pope, the old pope will hold a succession ceremony to pass on the most supreme special ability of the Holy See to the next pope. No one has seen what kind of strength the pope has, because, in the past thousand years, there has never been a situation where the pope needs to take action. The Holy See generally handles external affairs by the Tribunal, which is supervised by priests. The presiding judge of the Tribunal has the same rights as the red priests. The judges under the presiding judge are also called the executioners of the Holy See. They are the craziest beliefs of the gods. Or, when it comes to dealing with heretics, there is always only one word—kill. Unlike the orthodox clergy, all members of the Tribunal have no worries and are completely controlled by the presiding judge, who is directly responsible to the pope.
There is a unified currency on the mainland, which is the coin engraved with the emblem of the Holy See customized by the Holy See. The currency adopts a decimal exchange method, one diamond coin = ten amethyst coins = one hundred gold coins = one thousand silver coins = ten thousand copper coins, ordinary The annual income of a family is generally about 50 gold coins, and it takes about 30 gold coins to maintain a family's life for a year.
Each of the four countries has its own common language, and in some big cities and noble classes in each country, the Holy See language is generally common. Our story begins with Nino, a small city in the northernmost province of Birno in the Tianjing Empire on the north side of the mainland.
Nino City is a small city located at the northernmost tip of the Bilno Province of the Tianjin Empire. This place belongs to the extreme north of the entire Tianyuan Continent. The days are short and the nights are long, and it is in cold weather all year round. Most of the people here make a living by fishing in the icy sea next to the small town. There are moving icebergs floating in the ice sea all the year round, and the fur of seals and sea lions abounds there, which is very popular among nobles.
The dark clouds in the sky are slowly floating, and it seems that there will be another snowstorm. In a dark alley in Nino City, several people in ragged cotton jackets gathered together. One of them, a middle-aged man with a scar on his forehead, was glaring at a thinly dressed little girl with black hair and dark eyes who was only twelve or three years old. The little girl was very thin, her face was sallow, her half-length hair curtain covered the part above her nose, she couldn't see her face clearly, her whole body was trembling, her big bright eyes looked at the middle-aged man fearfully through her black hair.
"Pa—" the middle-aged man knocked the little girl to the ground with a slap, and cursed angrily: "You damn girl, you're so stupid, you can't even complete such a simple task. Isn't the old lady accompanying me? I was really blind at the time, how could I take you in as a waste, you know how to eat all day long, and you don't know how to do anything."
Beside the middle-aged man, a boy taller than the girl stepped forward to help the little girl's trembling body, carefully wiped off the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, and said blankly to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Li, Please forgive the girl one more time, me, I will bring some fish back later."
Uncle Li snorted, looked at the boy with the same black hair and black eyes, and looked dumbfounded, his voice softened a bit, and said: "Dumb, every time you plead for her, just bring back those fish, can you Is everyone eating? Here, no one can get something for nothing, girl, today I will let you go for the sake of dumbness, and there will be another time, hehe. Let’s go." Said, with another A few young children walked out, but before reaching the entrance of the alley, Uncle Li turned around again, and said to Dumb with a pleasant face: "Don't forget what you said just now, you'd better lead a few big fish, you know Is it?"
Duan nodded in a daze, and then Uncle Li left satisfied.
This group of people are the bottom thieves living in Nino City. They cannot be called thieves, because they can only rely on some petty theft to maintain their livelihood. The so-called pulling fish means stealing things, and Uncle Li is their head. There are more than a dozen children under his command, only the girl is a girl, all of them are orphans he picked up from the street. Among these children, this boy named Dumb is the most capable. At the beginning, Uncle Li took him in because he liked Dumb's dexterous little hands. This kid has always been dumbfounded, sometimes he can't speak well, and he doesn't know what his name is. He learns to steal things. He also learned the skills very slowly, and his brain didn't seem to work very well, so everyone called him dumb. However, although Dumb is stupid, he is very persistent. After several months of teaching by Uncle Li and his own hard work, he finally remembered the trick of leading the sheep by hand, and he has already practiced this trick to the point of proficiency. In order to practice The speed of the shot, he even poked the snowflakes on the ground with his fingers alone on the cold street, the less the snowflakes get on, the better his eyesight is, this method is stupid, but it has a very good effect. The practice finally gave Ah-Dai the foundation to lead the fish. What excites Uncle Li the most is Dumb's stupidity. He doesn't know what it means to be afraid, and he doesn't understand that pulling fish is a bad thing. As long as you give him steamed buns, he will definitely do as ordered.
Walking on the street, no one would pay attention to a child with an unremarkable appearance and straight eyes, but often, their money bags are already in the hands of Dumb in just a blink of an eye. When Uncle Li saw the bulging money bag in Ah-Dai's hand for the first time, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Since then, Ah-Dai has become the most "loved" among this group of children, and he can at least eat it every day. Seeing one or two cold and hard steamed buns made other partners envious. Although the dumb man is a bit stupid, he is a very good person. He often gives up part of the food to other people when he is not full. However, those companions are not grateful for his kindness. Instead, they often tease him, even grab his food.
The girl was accepted by Uncle Li from the street a year ago. According to the girl herself, she has been living with an old grandmother since she can remember. Although life is hard, she has enough food and clothing. More than a year ago, the old lady died of illness, and the girl had no source of income, so she had to rely on begging to eke out a living. The reason why Uncle Li accepted the girl was because he fell in love with the girl, no, he fell in love with the dilapidated house that the old lady left for the girl. In the cold city of Nino, what is better than a house that is sheltered from the wind and snow? The girl is just the opposite of Dumb, she learns everything very quickly, and she has mastered all of Uncle Li's "skills" in less than a month. However, Ya Tou is also the only child who has never caught a fish so far. It's not because she's not good at technology, but most importantly, it's because her heart is so kind. She had already succeeded a few times, but when she saw the owner's anxious expression, she couldn't help but send it back. For this reason, she didn't know how many times she was beaten, and each time, Dumb carried it down for her. The two children, the smart and the stupid, naturally became good friends. They were very conspicuous among this group of thieves. , because, only they are of the yellow race, and it may be for this reason that Dumb and the girl have a deep friendship with each other. Today, Uncle Li beat him again because the girl returned what she got to the anxious woman.
Uncle Li's figure finally disappeared at the end of the alley, and the girl threw herself into Ah-Dai's arms and cried bitterly. Dumb stared blankly at the thin body in his arms, wiped the snot from his face, patted the girl's shoulder carefully, and said, "Girl, don't, don't cry. It hurts, doesn't it?"
After a while, the girl stopped crying, raised her cold and red face, looked at the boy in front of her, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Dumb, it's really painful to be alive!"
Dui obviously didn't understand what the girl meant, so he took out half of a steamed bun that was already as hard as a rock from his bosom and handed it over, and said in a daze, "Girl, I'll eat it for you, it won't hurt when you're full."
The girl looked at the silly but sincere boy in front of her, took the steamed bun, sobbed a few times, and said, "Brother Dumb, why are you so nice to me?"
Dui took the girl to sit in the corner, took off the ragged cotton jacket on his body, put it on the shoulders of the two of them, snuggled up with the girl, and said naively: "Have I treated you well? Eat the steamed buns quickly." It won’t be cold after eating the steamed buns. I’m going to fetch the fish later.” As he spoke, he looked greedily at the half of the steamed buns that were as cold and hard as rocks in the girl’s hand.
Looking at Ah-Dai's simple and honest face, the girl couldn't help being a little silly, and with both hands, she divided the half of the steamed bun into two and handed it to Ah-Dai.
Dumb swallowed and said, "I, I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
The girl stuffed the steamed buns into Ah-Dai's hands, and said, "I have a small appetite, so I can't eat that much, let's eat together." As she spoke, she held her quarter of steamed buns with both hands and took a bite.
Dumb let out a groan, and wolfed down the quarter of the steamed bun. Since he ate too fast, he couldn't help but choked, "Ah, woo."
Seeing Ah-Dai's flushed face, the girl couldn't help but chuckled, and while patting his back, she grabbed a handful from the snow left on the ground the day before yesterday and stuffed it into Ah-Dai's mouth.
Duan worked hard to turn the snow into water, and it took a long time to swallow the dry steamed buns in his throat. He took a deep breath, patted his chest, and said, "Thank you!"
After a while, the girl finally worked hard to finish her steamed buns, and suddenly said to Dumb: "Brother Dumb, I will marry you when I grow up, okay?"
Duan was taken aback for a moment, trying hard to think about the meaning of the word "marry", before faltering for a long time: "What is marriage?"
The girl sighed secretly, and said: "To marry means that I will be your wife and take care of you for the rest of my life! I will take it as your promise, and don't go back on it. From now on, my girl will be your dumb fiancee. In the future, you will Treat me well."
Dui nodded, and said, "Fiancee? Oh, okay, then I'll give you a little more steamed buns every day."
The girl rolled his eyes at him and fell into speechlessness.
After a long time, with the help of the cotton-padded jacket, the girl had already warmed up a lot, and she put the cotton-padded jacket on Ah-Dai's shoulders again, and said to him: "Brother Ah-Dai, hurry up and fetch the fish, or Uncle Li will scold you again. Me, I'll go with you."
Duan nodded, helped the girl to stand up, and asked, "Girl, why do you have better skills than me, but you always return the fish to others?"
The girl sighed and said, "Brother Dumb, don't you know it's wrong to steal from others?"
Duan shook his head and said, "But, if we don't lead the fish, we will starve!"
The girl knew that she and this silly guy couldn't explain clearly, so she simply stopped talking, pulled Duan out of the alley, and the two walked towards the most prosperous area of Nino City. Only there can a good start be made. Object, the girl secretly decided that whatever she said today, she would help Dumb bring a few more fish back to repay him for being kind to her.
Not long after they walked, a voice suddenly came from behind them, "Little girl, stop."
Dumb was startled, and turned around at the same time as the girl. What appeared in front of them was a gorgeous carriage. An elderly woman's face appeared on the small window of the carriage. The girl recognized that it was the person who returned the money bag by herself today.
"Little girl, is it really you?" The woman had a surprised smile on her face, the door of the carriage raised, and with the help of the servants, the old woman got out of the carriage. She was dressed luxuriously, that was Dumb It was made of a fabric that the girl had never dared to imagine, and it was covered with a mink fur shawl.
The girl said timidly: "You, what do you want?"
Duan thought that the old woman was going to trouble the girl, so he hurriedly blocked the girl behind him, and looked at the old woman in front of him warily.
The old woman said with a smile: "Children, don't be afraid, little girl, I haven't thanked you for returning the purse to me just now? It's such a cold day, why are you wearing so thin!"
The girl shook her head and said: "You don't need to thank me, I stole your purse in the first place."
Duan was taken aback. Although he was stupid, he knew very well what would happen if he was caught by the person who led the fish. He quickly covered the girl's mouth and said anxiously: "Girl, don't talk nonsense."
The old woman didn't order her servant to beat the girl as Dumb imagined, she still smiled and said: "Then why did you return the money bag to me?"
The girl pulled away Duan's hand, summoned up her courage and said, "I, I see that you are in a hurry, so I will return it to you. Don't make things difficult for him, just hit me if you want to hit me."
The old woman smiled slightly and said: "Well, you are really an honest and kind boy. I know that you must not want to steal things, right. Where are your parents?"
The girl's eyes turned red, and she said, "I don't have parents, I'm an orphan."
The old woman frowned and sighed: "A good boy like you shouldn't stay here and suffer. Come, come here, let grandma have a look." Then, she waved to the girl.
Duan was afraid that the girl would suffer, so he hurriedly said: "Don't go, girl, let's go quickly."
The girl didn't listen to Ah-Dai's dissuasion, she faintly felt that maybe the old woman in front of her would change her life. She lowered her head and walked to the old woman, standing there trembling.
The old woman picked up the girl's dirty little face, brushed her messy hair back, took out a clean white handkerchief from her arms, wiped her face, nodded and said: "Well, child, you must You must have suffered a lot. Are you willing to go with grandma? Grandma can provide you with a good life and allow you to receive normal education."
The girl's big eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Ah-Dai, who seemed a little anxious, and stood still in a daze.
"What? My child, are you unwilling to go with me? My husband is the governor of the Mica Province, where the empire and the Holy See border, and the seasons are like spring. It's too cold here."
The girl turned around to look at the gorgeous and bright attire on the old woman, and asked tentatively: "Grandma, can you take my brother with me?"
The old woman looked at Ah-Dai, just as Ah-Dai was wiping the two yellow snot running down his face with his hands, looking silly. A look of disgust flashed in the old woman's eyes, she shook her head, and said, "No, he tried to deceive me just now, he is not an honest child, I can only take you away alone. Make up your mind quickly, it's really difficult here. cold."
The girl hesitated for a moment, looked at the carriage and the old woman in front of her, then at the shabby dumb, nodded resolutely and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The old woman smiled with satisfaction and said: "Well, this is a good and well-behaved boy. Let's go then, let's get in the carriage and find a place to change your clothes for you. If you wear so little, you will freeze to death."
The girl said: "Grandma, wait for me." Then, she turned around and ran quickly to Dumb, "Brother Dumb, I have to go, don't blame the girl, okay? I really don't want to live without food and clothing again." It’s time to live, Dumb brother, you have to remember what we said just now, when I grow up, I will definitely come back to you.”
Dumb said: "Girl, do you really want to leave? Uncle Li knows and will beat you."
Two lines of tears fell from the girl's eyes, and she choked with sobs: "Brother Dumb, don't worry, he will never have the chance to hit me again. I'm leaving, remember what we just said. If you have the chance, you should leave Uncle Li too. He's not a good person. Don't be a thief anymore." After finishing speaking, the girl turned around and ran to the old woman before Ah-Dai asked how she would have steamed buns if she wasn't a thief. He also got into the warm and gorgeous carriage. Before the car curtain was lowered, the girl took another deep look at Dumb, as if to remember his appearance.
The carriage left in the dust, leaving only Duan standing there in a daze. Looking at the carriage going away, Duan felt a faint sense of loss in his heart. For Dui, in his heart, the girl is the only thing more important than the steamed bun.
…
"Pa—" Uncle Li knocked out a few small purses in Duan's hands, and cursed: "You stupid, you just watched the girl go away with someone? Fuck, I wasted so much food, and I haven't paid back yet This damn girl dares to run, she pissed me off, really pissed me off." Uncle Li kicked Dumb to the ground, and kept walking in the small wooden house.
Dumb curled up on the ground in pain, sobbing: "No, I didn't let her go, she wanted to go by herself."
Uncle Li was in a fit of anger, and when he heard Ah-Dai's words, he became even more angry. He kicked Ah-Dai vigorously a few times, and cursed angrily: "If she wants to leave, let her go! You'll be stupid. Make you stupid, let you go!" Silly." The screams continued to come from Dumb's mouth, and the thieves next to him all looked at everything in front of them with glee, and none of them came up to dissuade them.
After a while, Uncle Li's anger subsided a lot, and then he remembered that dumb is his main source of income after all, if it breaks, where can he find such obedient subordinates. He picked up the purse on the ground angrily, and said to Dumb: "Teach me to be smarter in the future." He walked out alone, and the thieves knew that he was going to drink.
Dumb huddled in the corner in pain all over his body, he couldn't figure out why Uncle Li wanted to beat him, it was clearly none of his business. The girl's words before she left were still lingering in his mind.
The other thieves were laughing and chatting about their day's experiences while eating the leftovers of miserable soup that Uncle Li got from some restaurant. When Dumb remembered that he hadn't eaten anything all day, there was already no dregs left. His heart seemed to be pressed by something, and his longing for the girl became more and more intense. The girl was right, it was really painful to be alive!
Early the next morning, Uncle Li mercifully threw a steamed bun to Ah-Dai, and when he devoured it, he was sent out to start a day of fishing.
The sporadic snowflakes falling from the sky brought a faint chill to passers-by. Walking slowly on the road, Ah-Dai thought to himself, when an old woman will appear again and take him away! Whenever you can eat steamed buns, you will be satisfied. Girl don't know what's wrong? She left with that old lady, does she have steamed buns to eat every day
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a strangely dressed person in front of him. The reason why he felt strange was because the tall figure of that person was completely covered by a big cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly from the outside. There seemed to be a bulging money bag dangling under the cloak, and Dui decided to take him as his first target today. While thinking about it, Dumb followed quietly, took out his sharp little blade from his belt, and waited for the opportunity to strike. The reason why Dumb can often successfully catch fish has a lot to do with his resilience. Whenever he decides on a prey, he will definitely follow the opponent closely until he succeeds.
Then, the man in the cloak walked into a luxurious restaurant. From the outside, the restaurant looked magnificently decorated, and the roof was made of glazed tiles. Dumb thought, if he could eat here, he must have some money in his pocket. A lot of money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly happy. If he could bring more fish back, maybe Uncle Li would give him a full meal of steamed buns. He squatted in the corner by the restaurant entrance and waited patiently.
"Go, go, go, where did you come from, little beggar, just stay and go." The doorman of the restaurant kicked Dumb, looked at him with disgust and said.
Duan was already used to this kind of snobbish doorman, so he hurriedly nodded and ran a little farther away, finding a dark corner that could shelter from the wind and snow before squatting down again.
Playing with the small sharp blade in his hand, Ah-Dai waited patiently. He was not in a hurry at all. After eating, he always had to come out.
A full hour passed, and finally, the man in the big cloak walked out, and Dumb was so excited that the man was walking towards him. The front is the best way to start. He hurriedly stood up, stabilized his mind, and walked towards the man. The man was very tall, and Ah-Dai only reached around his stomach. The distance between the two was getting closer. Ah-Dai scratched his hair with a hand with a blade in it. When the two were one meter apart, Ah-Dai He staggered and bumped into the man.
Duan suddenly felt as if he had hit an iron plate, and there was indescribable pain all over his body. He raised his head inadvertently, and saw the face of that person. It was an old face, with countless fine wrinkles on the face, it seemed to be seventy or eighty years old.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Duan hurriedly accompanied him.
The old man just snorted, did not speak, and still walked forward, as if he didn't know that a gap had been cut in his cloak, and the money bag at his waist was gone.
Seeing that the other party did not embarrass himself, Ah-Dai ran forward excitedly, accidentally slipped by the snow on the ground, and fell on his back, touching the wound that was beaten by Uncle Li yesterday, making him constantly spasms. But even so, it was hard to hide the excitement in Ah-Dai's heart. When he got the money bag, he found that the weight was abnormally heavy. Even if it was completely filled with copper coins, it was enough for today's business. Stumbling up, he quickly ran to an alley. Turning his head to see that no one was chasing him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and sat down. However, what Duan didn't know was that the object of his theft was engaged in a special profession on the mainland-alchemist.
The most noble profession on the mainland is the clergy. Apart from the clergy, there are several other professions in various countries that are above the ordinary workers. power.
The mercenary union, the union with the largest number of people, the so-called mercenary, is actually a special profession that performs some simple or difficult tasks at the request of the employer. The branch of the military union is the ideal place for them to take on the mission. Of course, the mercenary union does not serve the mercenaries in vain. They will charge a certain fee according to the difficulty of the mission. A team composed of mercenaries is called a mercenary regiment. Generally, employers like to find a powerful mercenary regiment to perform some very difficult tasks, even if they pay a high price. Both mercenaries and mercenary regiments are divided into six levels, the lowest level is fourth-level mercenaries or mercenary regiments, and so on, up to third-level mercenaries, second-level mercenaries, first-level mercenaries, special-level mercenaries and The highest level of super mercenaries, due to the large number of mercenaries and mercenary groups, it is very difficult to increase the level of a mercenary or mercenary group. Mercenaries of different levels will be issued different badges by the mercenary union. In the mercenary organization, high-level mercenaries or mercenary regiments are very respected by their lower-level counterparts.
In the Magicians Union, magicians are a profession second only to priests on the mainland. Because practicing magic has extremely high requirements for their own quality, the number of magicians is extremely rare. Among them, magicians who practice light magic are almost They are all incorporated by the Holy See, which makes magicians even more precious. Among the armies they are often hired with high salaries, almost all magicians above the middle level will be canonized as nobles by the kingdom where they work. Longing for, it represents fame and power. Magicians are divided into junior magicians, intermediate magicians, advanced magicians, great magicians, mages and magisters. Since state subsidies are their main source of income, magicians usually go to the Magicians Union to obtain badges corresponding to their level in order to receive corresponding remuneration. Of course, obtaining badges requires the assessment of the Magician Union. The Magician's Guild is also the only guild that doesn't need to pay for it.
Although the alchemist guild is not large in number, it is very respected in various countries. The guilds of various countries are often bought by the country, because the weapons forged by alchemists are much better than those made by blacksmiths, and they are the best for equipping high-level troops. good choice. The Tianjin Empire got its name because they had the largest alchemist guild among the four kingdoms. Alchemists are actually a branch of magicians. Most of them are good at fire magic. What they are better than magicians is their understanding of various minerals and medicines. Powerful alchemists can often forge high-level magic weapons. The value of these magic weapons Almost inestimable, beloved by royal families and even the Holy See. Alchemists are also the wealthiest group of all occupations except killers. Alchemists are divided into novice, elementary, intermediate, advanced, special and master. Although alchemists also have corresponding level badges that are common to all countries, high-level alchemists often disdain to receive them.
The Killer Union has the smallest number of people and is also the most mysterious union on the mainland. Some people call them the Killer Group. Although there are not many members in the Killer Union, they all have high abilities. They accept killing tasks through some underground channels. High commissions. The organization of the union is extremely strict, and there are only two ways to join it. One is to go through various difficult tests, and the other is to announce a very difficult task every year. As long as someone can complete this task, they will be absorbed by the union as member. Of course, the difficulty of completing that task is definitely much more difficult than those difficult tests, and it is very likely that you will pay your life for it. Due to the intrigue among human beings and power disputes, this trade union, which is so disconcerting to ordinary people, has always been able to survive on the mainland. Killers are also clearly divided into levels, from low to high, divided into assassins, assassins, ninjas and killers. These killers are uniformly managed by the Killer Union, and their identities are extremely secret and unknown to outsiders. They don't belong to any country, and their number has never exceeded a hundred, but they are quite a terrifying force. There are hardly any magicians among killers.
To put it bluntly, the thieves' union is a collection of high-level thieves. In order to obtain the valuables they want, some nobles will hire thieves from the guild to steal them. Not every thief can join the Thieves Guild. Although the requirements for its members are not as strict as those of the Assassin's Guild, they still need to go through various assessments and only recruit those thieves with high quality and professional skills. The level of thieves is divided into thieves, high-level thieves and getters from low to high. Generally, thieves who can reach the level of getters have the honor of stealing priceless treasures many times. They are also the group most nobles fear most. . The Thieves Guild has one of the strictest rules, that is, killing people is absolutely not allowed. It is precisely because of this that they were not wiped out by the armies of various countries. In order to better complete the tasks assigned by the employer, the news of the Thieves Union is the most well-informed. Like the Killer Guild, the Thieves Guild also belongs to the dark forces on the mainland.
…
Taking out the heavy purse, Dumb's heart was filled with joy. The purse was exquisite, made of leather, with a hexagonal star in gold thread. Dumb had never seen such a beautiful purse before. He hurriedly opened the top of the rope and fumbled inside. He imagined that if there was a rose amethyst coin in the purse, what a wonderful thing it would be! , since he has been in the industry for more than a year, he has stolen Amethyst coins once. I remember that time, Uncle Li excitedly rewarded him with a big chicken leg, which made other companions envious. He had never eaten such a delicious meal, and in the end he shared it with the girl, eating all the bones in his stomach. The wonderful taste still makes him have endless aftertaste.
When Ah-Dai took out all the coins in the purse, he froze in surprise. Because, in the purse was not only the "chicken leg" that he had dreamed of for a long time, but also dozens of rose gold coins, and even a blue coin that shone brightly, which he had never seen before. Looking at the small pile of purple awns, there are more than a dozen "chicken legs"! "I can eat enough, I can finally eat enough." Dumb shouted excitedly.
When he was so excited, the golden six-pointed star on the purse suddenly lit up, and then, an old voice rang in his ear, "Have you never had enough?"
Dumb's whole body was shaken, and the coins in his hand couldn't help being scattered all over the place. The sound, where did this sound come from? He looked around, but there was no one around, "God bless, God bless." Duan clasped his hands in front of his chest and kept chanting.
"Do you think that the gods will bless a thief?" The old voice sounded again, and this time Dumb heard it clearly, and the voice seemed to come from that exquisite money bag.
"Ah—" Ah-Dai exclaimed, threw the purse out, and couldn't help trembling slightly. This was the first time he had encountered such a weird thing. After all, he was still a child, and the look of fear was revealed from the bottom of his eyes. out. The sparse snowflakes were still falling continuously, and the sky was still so dark. At this moment, it seemed that the ragged cotton jacket on Dumb's body could no longer bring him warmth, and a cold current quickly rose from the bottom of his heart.
The money bag that landed not far away gave off a faint light, and the beautiful golden hexagonal star shone with a faint golden light like a dream. Under the horrified gaze of Duan, the golden light suddenly turned bright, and a blurry figure appeared Above the money bag, the figure gradually became clear, it was the old man in the big cloak just now.
Strange and deep voices continued to come from the cloak. If Uncle Li was there, he would definitely find that the old man was chanting a magic spell. Finally, his body completely turned into a solid body, fluttered lightly, and landed on the ground.
The old man landed next to the money bag, he bent down slowly, picked up the money bag on the ground, and sighed: "It's been a long time since I haven't used this spell, I'm really unfamiliar with it!"
Seeing the object of his fish appearing in such a weird situation, no matter how stupid Dui is, he knows that he is in trouble. It never occurred to him that he, who had not missed a single shot for four months, would be caught by the gold master after successfully catching a big fish. He curled up into a ball on the ground, his body trembling unceasingly. When he thought about it, what he was about to face would be a severe beating like a storm. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. When he was caught last time, the big man almost broke his hand. If Uncle Li hadn't appeared in time to scare the other party away, he might not have the ability to hold the fish, let alone eat his favorite steamed buns .
The old man threw the money bag in front of Dumb, and said indifferently: "Pick it up for me and put it back."
"Yes, yes." Duan carefully grabbed the money bag in his hand, and took a deep look at the hexagonal star formed by the gold thread on the money bag. He couldn't understand why people could "drill" from the money bag. "Come out? Trembling all over his body, he carefully put the Yimeimei coin back into the purse. This process lasted for a long time. The strange thing is that the old man didn't urge him, and the pair of shining eyes under the cloak kept looking at Ah-Dai.
"Okay, okay, here I am, here you are." Dui tried his best to behave humble, holding the money bag in both hands and handing it to the old man, maybe, acting cowardly, and the other party will beat him later Take it easy. Duan never thought of resisting, so how could he resist with his "weather-beaten" body? Even if the other party is an old man.
The old man took the money bag, neither did it, nor did he intend to let Dumb go. He still stood in front of him, looking at the thin child in front of him.
Ah-Dai squatted down with his head down, covering his head with his red hands from the cold, and curled up as much as possible, waiting for the storm to come.
"Well, the hands are really pretty, with slender fingers and broad palms, no wonder even I didn't notice the things were stolen. You haven't answered my question just now, have you?"
