Zhao Xu raised his hand and pressed down the excited Maple Leaf, asking him to loosen his grip on the thief's collar.
With the combat power of the three of them, it is completely enough to take on the group of people in front of them.
It's just that this is not a wild place. If there is any movement, the nearby guards will arrive quickly. By then, they will become irrational.
If the group of thieves in front of him dared to attack the market near the city gate without having dealt with them before, then his experience as a police officer in his previous life would be enough to feed the dogs.
"You mean this wallet belongs to you?" Zhao Xukuan said with a smile, while looking at the thief who was eighteen or nineteen years old but had learned to fight fiercely.
"Yeah, you foreign pigs should just go back to your nests."
The thief Chuck, who mistakenly thought Zhao Xu had given up, suddenly became bold and spoke viciously in Zhao Xu's ear.
Zhao Xu, dressed as a scholar, looked like he was not a low-level person like them.
It's just important people in the entire Crescent Town. They have gone through training from the first day and it's clear.
These foreigners who come and go in a hurry have always been the best targets.
"Young man, some things that are not yours will be hot to hold." Zhao Xu seemed to have returned to the role he had played in his previous life.
The thief Chuck suddenly had the illusion of facing the small town sheriff, but he immediately came to his senses and said angrily: "Don't think that pretending to be a big shot will make us afraid of you. Our Morin Brotherhood has never been afraid of you." No one has failed. "
After saying that, he turned back and said, "Brothers, someone broke my clothes, what do you think I should do?"
As he spoke, Chuck shook his collar, indicating that it had been wrinkled by Maple Leaf.
"Pay compensation. I think this gentleman's clothes are good. Chuck, you must look like a real person when you wear them, haha." Another friend of Chuck also stood up.
Zhao Xu looked into the distance and noticed that the target he wanted was approaching. He thought to himself that it was just right. If he really made a move, his skills would be too low.
"Let go of this wallet first. I can prove that it belongs to us. If I can't prove it, I can compensate you for this dress." Zhao Xu said with a bewitching smile.
Chuck was secretly happy when he heard that, so the credit for the clothes in front of him must belong to him. He could already imagine how impressive he looked wearing this scholar's clothes.
Chuck directly spread his hands.
They have gone through a full set of training before, and no matter what Zhao Xu says next, they will fall into the trap of his next words.
Chuck chuckled to himself. This stupid man was so naive. Did he think that the previous owner had never confronted them about the contents and tried to prove it
The Church of the God of Justice has not yet reached Crescent Town!
The mixture of three religions and nine streams is what makes this place truly prosperous.
"I don't know if you have heard of Arthur's proverb - everything will choose its own master."
Zhao Xu then chanted a simple mantra - "Mage's Hand"!
With a wave of his hand, the wallet lying quietly in the palm of the thief Chuck directly rose into the air and flew towards him.
"You're playing a trick." Seeing that the wallet was in Zhao Xu's hands, Chuck was furious on the surface, but inside he started to sneer. Now he not only got the wallet and clothes, but he could also give the person in front of him an additional beating.
Zhao Xu still had a calm expression on his face.
Maple Leaf and Rainbow immediately put their hands on their weapons, not caring whether they could kill the town if they really fought.
Chuck immediately raised his fist and was about to punch forward, but a thin hand like an eagle's hook pressed heavily on his shoulder, forcibly removing his strength.
This familiar feeling made Chuck's originally hot heart cool down on the spot.
He turned around in surprise, and the person holding him down was Tie Liu, the second leader of their brotherhood and the master in charge of teaching them the craft.
But before Chuck could speak, Tie Liu's hand went directly along his arm, and finally grabbed the fingers of Chuck's right hand and said: "This distinguished gentleman, my man was disrespectful to you just now. I'm very sorry, I will punish him now."
"There's no need for fingers. I'm not interested in making others disabled." Zhao Xu said impatiently after seeing enough of this kind of trick.
"Okay." Tie Liu still said sincerely.
A whip kick passed by.
Chuck fell to his knees and almost vomited bile.
The subordinates behind Tie Liu jumped inwardly.
Chuck, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and sweat broke out on his forehead, but he did not dare to make a sound.
"I wonder if you are satisfied, sir?" Tie Liu, the leader of this group of thieves, continued to bow.
"That's it." Knowing that the result would be like this, Zhao Xu still despised it in his heart.
"Let's go." After Zhao Xu threw his wallet to Maple Leaf, he left without looking back.
Fengye and Caihong followed Zhao Xu through several crowds of people. It wasn't until the group of people behind them disappeared at the corner of the street that Fengye asked, "Mr. Zhongxia, what's going on? Why was that person punished instead?"
"It's very simple, because I am so powerful. I just came out of the Mage Association, and then used a zero-level spell 'Mage's Hand'. The boss of that group of thieves, that is, the old man, naturally thought that I was related to the association. The mage naturally does not dare to provoke me." Zhao Xu explained lightly.
At this time, Maple Leaf also understood. He lowered his head and reflected: "I was impulsive. We have a mission. The wallet doesn't have much money. If it is lost, it will be lost. It almost misses the big event. But the old man is really aggressive. Cruel, if you really pinch off a finger on his hand, you will have to rest for half a month to heal."
Zhao Xu smiled and said nothing more.
If the old man didn't punish him on the spot and then get his forgiveness, it wouldn't be that simple.
It would be a shame for that kid to go back, because he was blind and looking for the wrong target.
The mage's zero-level spells are called tricks for no reason, but the effect is too similar to those of rural magicians.
So the thief's first reaction when seeing his magic was not fear, but anger, thinking that he was using a trick to deceive people.
But Zhao Xu knew very well that from the time he entered the association to the time he left the association, the old man was standing near the door, observing the situation of the market through the openness and terrain of the association.
When he went to stop the conflict, the old man followed him and watched from a distance.
So after he successfully released the spell, the old man should know that he was a real mage even if he was stupid.
To provoke a mage near the association is to spit on the statue of the God of Death and seek death.
If there wasn't that old man, then what he wanted to cast was a first-level spell, which could also let the thieves know that they had messed with someone they shouldn't have messed with.
And Zhao Xu also had to cast a spell. Only in this way could he scare away the Molin Brotherhood and prevent them from following their whereabouts.
Otherwise, you will not only lose your wallet, but also get into trouble with the mission. These underground forces are much more sensitive to fishy smells than ordinary people.
And when Zhao Xu was thinking this, they also followed Luo Ya's instructions and walked around the entire Crescent Town for a while. After making sure that no one was following them, they finally walked into a dark and dark house. Customer's divination shop.
Pulling open the door curtain, which was already a little gray and had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, Caihong looked at the decoration inside the house with a look of disgust.
An ordinary crystal ball was lying on the soft velvet cloth, and there were many divination cards hung on the corner.
The incense burner in the corner kept burning wormwood.
"Where are the people?" Maple Leaf asked curiously.
Yesterday, Isi made it clear that the receptionist would be waiting for them here today.
"Is there anyone there?" Rainbow couldn't help but asked loudly.
But at this time, the air was filled with the sultry feeling before the storm, and there was no other abnormal sound echoed.
As a wanderer, Rainbow looked around and tried to walk into the inner room of the store to see if there were any traces.
After just a few steps, he stood still and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Feng, Mr. Zhongxia, please come over quickly."
Zhao Xu rushed over immediately.
The entire inner room was in a mess, and it had been rummaged through again and again.
But what’s even more glaring is—
A deceased person wearing a fortune teller's clothing and having the same appearance as their correspondent was lying on a stool with a long sword pierced through his heart.
Zhao Xu suddenly felt clear in his heart.
He already understood that this mission was over.
My own adventure is over.
