There are five countries on 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. They are located in the center of the four major countries and border the four countries in a small area of six The angular land is the most famous Holy See on Tianyuan Continent. Among the four kingdoms, except for the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire, which have poor relations, the other countries can coexist peacefully. Every year, each country must pay a certain amount of "protection fees" to the Holy See as expenses for the Holy See.
The humans in the Tianjin Empire are almost all Caucasian. They are tall and have blond hair and blue eyes, while the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire are both yellow, with black hair and black eyes. The race of the Solo Federation, the only federal country on the mainland, is relatively complex. There are white people, yellow people, and strong black people. Many foreign races also live in the federation. In terms of overall strength alone, the Solo Federation, composed of six ethnic groups, is the most powerful, while the other three countries have similar military strength.
In addition to the main inhabitants of the continent, there are also some sparse races, such as the kind-hearted elves, the bad-tempered dwarves, the winged humans who are good at singing and dancing, and the sparse ones who only live in dense forests. Among them are the Orcs, the most mysterious Dark Demons and the legendary Dragons. These races, which are fewer in number than humans, are scattered among various countries and have coexisted peacefully 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 only occupies 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 humans are loyal believers in the Holy See. Clergy are the most respected professions. In the Holy See, the person with the highest authority is the Pope. Under the Pope, there are four red priests to assist the Pope in handling the affairs of the Holy See. They are also called cardinals. Under the red priests are twelve white priests. When more than half of the red priests and white priests think that the pope has made any major mistakes, they can impeach the pope. However, since the promotion of the pope is very strict, since the birth of the Holy See , there has been no impeachment of the pope. Under the white-robed sacrifices, there are high-level sacrifices, intermediate sacrifices, ordinary sacrifices and preliminary sacrifices. The sacrifices are also called monks or goddesses. Clergy in the Holy See are not prohibited from marrying, but the partner must be the most loyal believer in the Holy See. There is another reason why clergy are respected, and that is because they are all light magicians. If they want to be promoted to the position of white priest, the monks must be above the level of light magicians, and The magicians on the mainland have never reached three digits. The power of the red priests is even more unfathomable. There was a legend that if the four red priests and the twelve white priests of the Holy See took action at the same time, the power of their light magic could be equivalent to the entire military force of any country combined. The promotion of the pope is usually selected by the red priests and requires an extremely strict procedure. After the new pope is selected, the old pope will hold a inheritance ceremony to pass on the most supreme and special abilities 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 that required the Pope to take action. The Holy See generally handles external affairs under the supervision of the Tribunal. The presiding judge of the Tribunal has the same rights as the red priest. The judges under the presiding judge are also called the executioners of the Holy Holy See. They are the craziest beliefs of the gods. When it comes to dealing with heretics, there is always only one word - kill. Unlike 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.
The mainland has a unified currency, which is a coin engraved with the Holy See emblem 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. The annual income of an ordinary family is generally about fifty gold coins, and it takes about thirty gold coins to maintain a family for one year.
Each of the four countries has its own common language, and in some big cities and aristocratic classes in each country, the Holy See language is generally used. Our story begins with Nino, a small town in the northernmost province of Birno in the Tianjin Empire on the north side of the continent. .
Nino City is a small city located at the northernmost tip of the Birnuo Province in the Tianjin Empire. It belongs to the far north of the entire Tianyuan Continent. The days are short and the nights are long, and the weather is cold all year round. Most of the people here make a living by fishing in the ice sea next to the small town. There are moving icebergs floating in the ice sea all year round. The seals and sea lion furs produced there are very popular among the nobles.
The dark clouds in the sky float slowly, seeming to bring another snowstorm. In a dark alley in Nino City, several people wearing ragged cotton-padded jackets gathered together. One of them, a middle-aged man with a scar on his forehead, was glaring angrily at a little girl with black hair and black eyes, only twelve or three years old, and wearing thin clothes. The little girl was very thin, with a sallow complexion. Her half-length hair covered the area above her nose. She could not see her face clearly, and her whole body was trembling. A pair of big bright eyes looked at the middle-aged man in fear through the black hair.
“Pa—” the middle-aged man slapped the little girl to the ground and cursed angrily: “You damn girl, you are so stupid, you can’t even complete such a simple task, if it wasn’t for Dumb. If you pull me back, why don't you stay with that old lady? I was really blind at the beginning, how could I take in a waste like you? You only know how to eat and do nothing else all day long."
Next to the middle-aged man, a boy who was slightly taller than the girl stepped forward and helped the little girl's trembling body up. He carefully wiped away the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and said blankly to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Li, Please forgive me one more time, I, I will bring back some fish later."
Uncle Li snorted, looking at the boy with the same black hair and eyes, and a dull look on his face. His voice softened a little, and he said: "Ah-Dai, every time you plead for her, can the few fish you brought back be enough for everyone to eat? No one here can get something for nothing, girl, today I see that Ah-Dai's For my sake, I’ll let you go again, hehe. Let’s go.” As he said that, he walked out with a few other young children. Before he reached the entrance of the alley, Uncle Li came again. Looking back, he said to Ah-Dai in a friendly manner: "Don't forget what you just said, it's best to catch a few big fish, you know?"
A-Dai nodded in confusion, and Uncle Li was satisfied. 's left.
This group of people are thieves living at the lowest level in Nino City. They cannot be called thieves because they can only rely on some petty theft to maintain their livelihood. The so-called fishing is stealing, and Uncle Li is theirs. head. He has a total of more than a dozen children, only the girl is a girl, and they are all orphans he picked up from the street. Among these children, the boy named Dumb is the most capable. At first, Uncle Li took him in because he saw Ah-Dai's dexterous little hands. This kid has always been stupid and he sometimes speaks rudely. He didn't know his name when asked, and he learned to steal things. He also learned skills very slowly, and his brain seemed to be not working very well, so everyone called him Dumb. However, although Dui was stupid, he was very persistent. After several months of Uncle Li's teachings and his own hard training, he finally remembered the trick of leading the sheep easily, and he had practiced this trick to the point of proficiency. In order to practice With such speed, he even poked the snowflakes on the ground alone on the cold street. The fewer snowflakes on the ground, the better his eyesight was. Although this method was stupid, it had a very good effect. After a few months, The practice finally gave Ah-Dai a foundation for catching fish. What excites Uncle Li the most is that Dumb is stupid and doesn't know what it means to be afraid, nor does he understand that catching fish is a bad thing. As long as he is given steamed buns to eat, he will definitely do as he is told.
Walking on the street, no one would pay attention to a child with an unremarkable appearance and straight eyes. However, often in the blink of an eye, their money bag is already in the hands of Dumb. When Uncle Li first saw the bulging money bag in Ah-Dai's hand, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Since then, Ah-Dai has become the most "pampered" among the children. He can at least eat every day. I got one or two cold steamed buns, which made other friends extremely envious. Although Dumb is a bit silly, he is a good person. He often gives part of his food to others when he is not full. However, those companions are not grateful for his kindness. Instead, they often tease him, and even Grab his food.
The girl was picked up by Uncle Li from the street a year ago. According to the girl herself, she has been living with an old woman for as long as she can remember. Although her life is hard, she is well fed and clothed. More than a year ago, the old woman fell ill and died, and the girl had no source of livelihood and had to rely on begging to survive. The reason why Uncle Li accepted the girl was because he fell in love with the girl, no, he fell in love with the shabby house left by the old woman to the girl. In the cold city of Nino, what is better than a house that can shelter from the wind and snow? ? Yatou is the exact opposite of Dumb. She learns everything very quickly. She mastered all of Uncle Li's "skills" in less than a month. However, the girl is also the only child who has never caught a fish. It's not because she's not skilled, the most important thing is because her heart is so kind. She had already obtained it several times, but when she saw the anxious look on the owner's face, she couldn't help but send it back. For this reason, she didn't know how many times she was beaten, and every time, Dumb stood up for her. The smart and stupid children naturally became good friends, and they were very conspicuous among this group of thieves. , because they were the only ones of the yellow race, and maybe it was for this reason that Dumb and the girl developed a deep friendship with each other. Today, the girl was beaten by Uncle Li again because she returned the things 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 at the thin body in his arms, wiped the snot from his face, carefully patted the girl's shoulder, and said: "Girl, stop, stop crying. It hurts, doesn't it?"
After a while, the girl stopped crying, raised her little face that was red from the cold, looked at the boy in front of her, and said with hazy eyes: "Brother Dumb, it's really painful to be alive!"
Obviously, Dumb didn't understand what the girl meant. He took out half a steamed bun that was already as hard as a rock and handed it over. He said in a stunned voice: "Girl, let's eat it for you. Once you're full, you won't feel any pain anymore." .”
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?"
Dumb La He sat in the corner with the girl, took off his tattered cotton-padded jacket, draped it on their shoulders, snuggled up with the girl, and said innocently: "Have I been good to you? Eat the steamed buns quickly. Eat them. The steamed buns aren't cold anymore. I'm going to catch the fish later." As he spoke, he looked at the half of the cold, stone-like steamed buns in the girl's hands with salivation.
Looking at Ah-Dai’s honest face, the girl couldn’t help but feel a little crazy. She used both hands to split the half piece of steamed bun into two and handed one piece to Ah-Dai.
Ah-Dai swallowed and said, "I, I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself."
The girl stuffed the steamed bun into Ah-Dai's hand and said, "I have a small appetite and can't eat that much. Let's eat together." "As he said that, he held his quarter piece of steamed bun with both hands and took a bite of it hard.
A'Dai let out an ooh, and wolfed down the quarter piece of steamed bun. Because he ate too fast, he couldn't help but choked, "Ah, woo."
Seeing Ah-Dai's flushed face, the girl couldn't help but chuckle. While patting his back, she grabbed a handful from the snow left on the ground the day before and stuffed it into Ah-Dai's mouth.
Ah-Dai worked hard to turn the snow into water. It took him a long time to swallow the dry buns in his throat. He took a long breath, patted his chest, and said, "Thank you!"
After a long while, the girl finally worked hard to finish her steamed buns, and suddenly said to Ah-Dai: "Brother Ah-Dai, wait until I grow up to marry you, okay?"
Dumb was stunned and tried hard to think about the meaning of the word marry. After a long time, he hesitated and said: "What does marriage mean?"
The girl sighed secretly and said: "Marry means that I will be your wife and take care of you." You will be with me for the rest of your life! I will treat you as if you have agreed. From now on, my girl will be your fiancée. You must treat me well from now on."
Ah-Dai nodded. "Fiancée? Oh, okay, then I will give you a little more steamed buns every day."
The girl rolled her eyes at him and fell speechless.
After a long time, with the help of the cotton-padded jacket, the girl had warmed up a lot. She put the cotton-padded jacket on Ah-Dai's shoulders again and said to him: "Brother Ah-Dai, go catch the fish quickly, or Uncle Li will do it again. I'm going to scold you. "
A'Dai nodded, helped the girl stand up, and asked: "Girl, why are you better than me in skills, but you always fail. Return the fish to others?”
The girl sighed and said, "Brother Dumb, don't you know it's wrong to steal other people's things?"
Dumb shook his head and said, "But, if we don't catch the fish, we will starve. !”
The girl knew that she and this silly guy couldn’t explain it, so she simply stopped talking and pulled Ah-Dai out of the alley. The two of them walked towards the most prosperous area of Nino City. Only there would be a good target to attack. The girl secretly decided that she would help Dui bring back a few more fish no matter what she said today, in order to repay his kindness to her.
Not far away, a call suddenly came from behind them, "Little girl, stop."
A-Dai was startled, and turned around at the same time as the girl, and what appeared in front of them was a gorgeous carriage. , the face of an old woman appeared on the small window of the carriage, and the girl recognized it, that was the person to whom she had returned the money bag today.
"Little girl, is it really you?" A smile of surprise appeared on the woman's face. She raised the door of the carriage. With the help of the servant, the old woman got out of the carriage. The clothes were luxurious, made of fabrics that Dui and the girl had never imagined, and covered with a mink fur shawl.
The girl said timidly: "You, what can I do for you?"
Ah-Dai thought that the old woman was going to cause trouble for the girl, so he quickly 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, you just returned the purse to me, and I haven't thanked you yet? Why are you wearing such thin clothes on such a cold day? ! ”
The girl shook her head and said, "You don't need to thank me. I stole your wallet in the first place."
Ah-Dai was startled. Although he was stupid, he knew very well that he was caught by the person holding the fish. Not knowing what would happen, he quickly covered the girl's mouth and said urgently: "Girl, don't talk nonsense."
The old woman did not order her servant to beat the girl as Dumb imagined, she was still smiling Said: "Then why did you return the money bag to me?"
The girl pulled Ah-Dai's hand away and mustered up the courage to say: "I, I saw that you were very anxious, so I gave it back to you. Don't make it difficult for him. If you want to hit me, just hit me."
The old woman Weiwei He smiled and said: "Well, you are indeed an honest and kind-hearted good boy. I know that you must not have wanted to steal things, right. Where are your parents?"
The girl's eyes turned red and she said: " I have no parents, I am an orphan.”
The old woman frowned and sighed: "A good boy like you shouldn't stay here and suffer. Come on, come over and let grandma take a look." As she said this, she waved to the girl.
Ah-Dai was afraid that the girl would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly said: "Don't go, girl, let's leave quickly."
The girl did not listen to Ah-Dai's dissuasion. She vaguely felt that maybe the old woman in front of her would Change your life. She walked to the old woman with her head lowered and stood there tremblingly.
The old woman held up the girl's dirty little face, combed her messy hair back, took out a white handkerchief from her arms and wiped her face, nodded and said: "Well, child, you must You have suffered a lot. Are you willing to go with grandma? Grandma can provide you with a good life and let you receive a normal education."
The girl's big eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Ah-Dai. Dui looked a little anxious and stood there in shock.
"What? My child, aren't you willing to go with me? My husband is the governor of Mica Province, which is the border between the Empire and the Holy See. It is like spring all year round. It is really too cold here .”
The girl turned around and looked at the gorgeous and glamorous attire of the old woman, and asked tentatively: "Grandma, can you take my brother with you?"
The old woman looked at Dumb, just in time. Dui wiped the two yellow snot flowing down his face with his hands, looking stupid. A look of disgust flashed through the old woman's eyes, and she shook her head and said, "No, he just tried to deceive me. He is not an honest child. I can only take you alone. Decide quickly, it's really cold here." "
The girl hesitated, looked at the carriage and the old woman in front of her, then looked at the shabby Dumb, and nodded resolutely: "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 get in the carriage and find a place to help you change clothes first. If you wear so little, you will freeze."
The girl said: "Grandma, please wait for me." After saying that, she turned around and ran quickly to Ah-Dai, "Brother Ah-Dai, I have to leave, don't blame the girl, okay? I really don't want to live like this again. We are living a life of lack of food and clothing, Brother Dui, you must remember what we just said. When I grow up, I will definitely come back to you."
Dui said: "Girl, do you really want to leave. ? Uncle Li will beat you if he finds out.”
Two lines of tears fell from the girl's eyes, and she choked and said: "Brother Dumb, don't worry, he will never have a chance to hit me again. I'm leaving, remember what we just said. If you have the chance, you also leave Uncle Li, he is not Good man. Stop being a thief." After saying that, before Dumb asked how he could get steamed buns if he didn't become a thief, the girl turned around and ran to the old woman. The old woman got into the carriage first, and with the help of the servant, the girl also sat down. Got into the warm and gorgeous looking carriage. Before the car curtain was lowered, the girl took another deep look at Ah-Dai, as if she wanted to remember his appearance.
The carriage drove away, leaving only Ah-Dai standing there in shock. Looking at the carriage in the distance, Ah-Dai felt a faint sense of loss in his heart. For Dumb, in his heart, the girl is the only thing more important than the steamed buns.
…………
"Pa--" Uncle Li knocked a few small money bags out of Dumb's hand and cursed: "Are you stupid? You just watched the girl leave with others? Damn it, you wasted so much food on me and you haven't repaid me yet. This damn girl dares to run away. I'm so angry. I'm so angry." Uncle Li kicked Ah-Dai to the ground and kept walking in the small wooden house. .
Ah-Dai curled up on the ground in pain, sobbing: "No, I didn't let her go, she left on her own."
Uncle Li was furious when he heard what Ah-Dai said. He was even more angry, kicked Ah-Dai hard several times, and cursed angrily: "If she wants to leave, just let her go! You're stupid enough to die. Make you stupid, make you stupid." The screams kept coming from Ah-Dai. When the words came out, the thieves nearby were gloating about everything in front of them, and no one came up to dissuade him.
After a while, Uncle Li's anger subsided a lot, and then he remembered that Dumb was his main source of income after all. If he was damaged, where would he find such obedient subordinates? Angrily, he picked up the money bag on the ground and said to Dumb: "Teach me to be smarter in the future." A man walked out, and the thieves all knew that he went to drink.
A'Dai huddled in the corner with pain all over his body. He couldn't figure out why Uncle Li hit him when it was none of his business. The girl's words before leaving were still lingering in his mind.
The other thieves ate the leftovers of miserable soup that Uncle Li got from who knows which restaurant, laughing and chatting about their day's experiences. When Ah-Dai remembered that he hadn't eaten anything all day long, even the dregs were gone. His heart seemed to be pressed by something, and his longing for the girl became more and more intense. The girl was right, living was really painful!
Early the next morning, Uncle Li mercifully threw a steamed bun to Ah-Dai. After he devoured it, he was sent out to start the day's fishing operation.
Scattered snowflakes falling from the sky bring a faint chill to passers-by. Walking slowly on the road, Dumb thought to himself, when will an old woman appear again and take him away? Whenever I can eat steamed buns, I will be satisfied. I don’t know what’s wrong with the girl? She and the old woman left. Do they have steamed buns to eat every day?
While 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 shrouded in a large cloak. Unclear appearance. There seemed to be a bulging money bag dangling under the cloak, and Dumb decided to make him his first target today. While thinking about it, Ah-Dai followed quietly, took out his sharp little blade from his belt, and waited for the opportunity to strike. The reason why Ah-Dai can often successfully catch fish has a lot to do with his toughness. Whenever he decides on a prey, he will definitely follow the opponent until he succeeds.
Following him, the man in the cloak walked into a luxurious restaurant. From the outside, the restaurant looked splendidly decorated, and the roof was paved with glazed tiles. Dumb thought to himself, if he could eat here, he must have something in his wallet. A lot of money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly feel 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 next to the restaurant entrance and waited patiently.
“Go, go, go, you little beggar, stay here and go.” The doorman of the restaurant kicked Dumb and looked at him with disgust and said.
A-Dai was already used to this kind of snobbish doorman. He hurriedly nodded and ran a little further away, and found a dark corner that could protect him from the wind and snow before squatting down again.
Playing with the sharp little blade in his hand, Ah-Dai waited patiently. He was not in a hurry at all. He always had to come out after eating.
A full hour passed, and finally, the man in the big cloak walked out. What made Dumb excited was that the man was walking towards him. The front is the best place to start. He quickly stood up, stabilized his mind, and walked towards the man. The man was very tall, and Ah-Dai only reached around his belly. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Ah-Dai scratched his hair with a hand with a razor blade. When the two were one meter apart, Ah-Dai His feet staggered and he collided with the man.
A-Dai suddenly felt as if he had hit an iron plate, and there was indescribable pain all over his body. He inadvertently raised his head and saw the face of the man. He had an old face, with countless fine wrinkles on his face. He looked as if he was seventy or eighty years old.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Ah-Dai kept busy with him.
The old man just snorted and said nothing. He still walked forward, seemingly unaware that a gap had been cut in his cloak and the money bag around his waist was gone.
Seeing that the other party was not embarrassment for him, Ah-Dai ran forward excitedly. He accidentally slipped on the snow on the ground and fell onto his back, causing injuries from the severe beating he received from Uncle Li yesterday. place, causing him to convulse constantly. But even so, it could not hide the excitement in Ah-Dai's heart. When he got the money bag, he found that the weight was unusually heavy. Even if it was completely filled with copper coins, it was enough for today's payment. He stood up unsteadily and ran quickly to an alley. He turned around and saw that no one was chasing him. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and sat down. However, what Dui didn't know was that the person he was stealing from was engaged in a special profession on the mainland - an alchemist. .
The most noble profession on the mainland is the clergy. In addition to the clergy, there are several professions in various countries that are superior to ordinary workers. These professions have formed their own trade unions and become several special groups on the mainland. power.
The Mercenary Union, the largest union, the so-called mercenary is actually a special profession that performs some simple or difficult tasks at the request of the customer. They receive varying amounts of remuneration according to the difficulty of the task. The mercenary union branches scattered around the country are the most ideal place for them to take on tasks. Of course, the mercenary union does not serve the mercenaries in vain. They will charge a certain fee based on the difficulty of the task. A team composed of mercenaries is called a mercenary group. Generally, employers like to find powerful mercenary groups to perform some very difficult tasks, even if they pay a high price. Mercenaries and mercenary groups are divided into six levels. The lowest level is the fourth-level mercenary or mercenary group, and so on. The upwards are the third-level mercenary, the second-level mercenary, the first-level mercenary, the special-level mercenary and the mercenary group. The highest level of super mercenary. 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 mercenary organizations, high-level mercenaries or mercenary groups are very respected by their peers with lower levels.
Magicians Guild, magicians are the second most important profession on the mainland after clergy. Since the practice of magic has extremely high requirements for its own quality, the number of magicians is extremely rare. Among them, those who practice light system Magic magicians are almost all recruited by the Holy See, which makes magicians even more valuable. They are often hired by the army with high salaries. Almost all intermediate magicians and above will be made nobles by the kingdom where they are located. Therefore, magic The profession of teacher is also the most desired by ordinary people. It represents reputation and rights. Magicians are divided into junior magicians, intermediate magicians, senior magicians, great magicians, wizards and magisters. Since state subsidies are their main source of income, magicians usually go to the Magician's Union to obtain badges corresponding to their level in order to receive corresponding remuneration. Of course, obtaining the badge requires passing the assessment of the Magician's Union. The Magician's Guild is also the only union that gives money without having to pay for it.
Although the Alchemist Guild is not large in number, it is very respected in various countries. Unions in various countries are often bribed by the country, because the weapons made by alchemists are much better than those made by blacksmiths, and they are the best equipment for high-level armies. Best choice. The Tianjin Empire got its name because they had the largest alchemist union among the four countries. Alchemists are actually a branch of magicians. Most of them are good at fire magic. What makes them 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 is Almost immeasurable, he is deeply loved by the royal families of various countries and even the Holy See. Alchemists are also the richest group of all professions except assassins. Alchemists are divided into apprentice, junior, intermediate, advanced, special and master levels. Although alchemists also have corresponding level badges that are common to all countries, high-level alchemists often disdain to receive them.
The Killer Guild has the smallest number of people and is also the most mysterious union on the mainland. Some people also call them the Killer Group. Although the number of people in the Killer Union is not large, they all have high abilities. They use some underground channels to Accept a murder mission and receive a high commission. The union is extremely well-organized, and there are only two ways to join it. One is to go through various difficult tests, and the other is that the Killer Guild announces a very difficult task every year. As long as someone can complete this task, they will be absorbed into the Killer Guild. 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 for it with your life. Due to the intrigues and power disputes among human beings, this union, which makes ordinary people laugh at them, has always been able to survive on the mainland. Killers also have obvious levels of distinction, from low to high, they are divided into assassins, assassins, ninja killers and exterminators. These killers are managed by the Killer Guild, and their identities are extremely secret and not known to outsiders. They do not belong to any country, and their number never exceeds a hundred people. However, they are a quite terrifying force. There are very few killers who are magicians. .
The Thieves Guild, to put it bluntly, is a collection of high-level thieves. In order to get the valuables they want, some nobles will hire thieves in the union to steal them. Not every thief can join the Thieves' Guild. Although its membership requirements are not as strict as those of the Killers' Guild, they still need to pass various assessments and only absorb thieves with high quality and professional skills. The levels of thieves are divided into thieves, high-level thieves and acquirers from low to high. Generally, thieves who can reach the level of acquirers have the honor of stealing priceless treasures many times. They are also the group most feared by most nobles. . The Thieves Guild has one of the strictest rules, that is, killing 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 Thieves Guild is the most well-informed. Like the Killers' Guild, the Thieves' Guild also belongs to the dark forces on the mainland.
...
Taking out the heavy bag of money, Ah-Dai’s heart was filled with joy. The purse is very delicate, made of leather, with a six-pointed star made of gold thread on it. Dui had never seen such a beautiful money bag. He hurriedly opened the top of the rope and dug inside. He daydreamed about how wonderful it would be if there was a rose amethyst coin in the money bag! , in more than a year of working in the industry, he had stolen an amethyst coin once. I remember that time, Uncle Li excitedly rewarded him with a big chicken leg, which made other companions extremely envious. He had never tasted such delicious food, and in the end he shared it with the girl, and even the bones went into his stomach. The wonderful taste still makes him have endless aftertaste.
When Ah-Dai took out all the coins in his wallet, he was stunned in surprise. Because, in the money bag, there were not only the "chicken legs" that he had been dreaming about for a long time, but also dozens of rose gold coins, and even a shining blue coin that he had never seen before. Looking at the small pile of purple mangosteen, this is a dozen "chicken legs"! "I can eat, I can finally eat." Dui shouted excitedly.
Just when he was excited, the golden six-pointed star on the money bag suddenly lit up, and then, an old voice sounded in his ears, "Have you never had enough?"
A-Dai's whole body With a shock, the coins in his hand were scattered all over the floor. The sound, where did this sound come from? He looked around, but there was no one around, "God bless, God bless." Ah-Dai clasped his hands in front of his chest and kept chanting.
“Do you think God will bless a thief?” The old voice sounded again, and this time Dui heard it clearly, and the voice seemed to come from that exquisite money bag.
"Ah -" Ah-Dai exclaimed and threw the money bag out. His whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was the first time he encountered such a weird thing. He was still a child after all, and the look of fear showed in his eyes. And out. Sparse snowflakes were still falling continuously, and the sky was still so dark. At this moment, it seemed that the tattered cotton jacket on Ah-Dai could no longer bring him warmth, and a cold current quickly rose from the bottom of his heart.
The money bag that fell not far away gave off a faint light, and the beautiful golden six-pointed star shone with a dreamlike faint golden light. Under Ah-Dai's horrified gaze, the golden light suddenly turned bright. , a blurry figure appeared above the money bag, and the figure gradually became clear. It was the old man wearing the big cloak just now.
Weird and deep voices kept coming from the cloak. If Uncle Li were here, he would definitely find that the old man was chanting a magic spell. Finally, his body completely transformed into a solid body, floating lightly and landing on the ground.
The old man fell next to the money bag. He slowly bent down, picked up the money bag from the ground, and sighed: "I haven't used this spell for a long time. I feel so unfamiliar!"
Seeing myself The person holding the fish appeared in such a weird situation. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was in danger. He never expected that he, who had not failed in four months, would be caught by the financial owner after successfully catching a big fish. He curled up in a ball on the ground, his body shaking non-stop. He thought that what he was about to face would be a violent beating. This was not the first time he had encountered this situation. The last time he was caught, the big man almost broke his hand. If Uncle Li hadn't appeared in time to scare him away, I'm afraid he would have lost the ability to hold fish, let alone eat his favorite steamed buns. .
The old man threw the money bag in front of Ah-Dai and said calmly: "Pick it up and put it back for me."
"Yes, yes." Ah-Dai carefully took the money bag into his hand and took a deep look at the six-pointed star made of gold thread on the money bag. He could not understand why people could "drill out" from the money bag. "Come out?" His whole body was shaking, and he carefully put the Yi Mei Mei coins back into his purse. This process lasted for a long time. Strangely, the old man did not urge him. A pair of shining eyes under the cloak kept looking at Ah-Dai.
"Okay, okay, here, here you go." Duan tried his best to act humble, holding the money bag in both hands and handed it to the old man. Maybe, he acted cowardly and was beaten later. Come on, the opponent will hit you lightly. Dumb had never thought of resisting, so how could he resist with his "tempered" body? Even if the other person is an old man.
The old man took the money bag and neither took action nor let Dui go. He still stood in front of him and looked at the thin child in front of him.
Duan squatted down with his head lowered, his hands that were red from the cold covered his head, and his whole body curled up as much as possible, waiting for the storm to come.
"Well, my hands are very beautiful, with long fingers and broad palms. No wonder I didn't even notice that the thing was stolen. You haven't answered my question just yet?".
