Chapter 256 You, are, tell, lie!

This is the fourth time Angus has queued up here, and the crowds are getting more and more crowded every day.

On the first night, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, but the bald mage used magic to set up some kind of 'windproof barrier' for them? This way, children like him would not freeze to death.

'There are still good people in this world, but Angus can't meet them.'

Angus was currently crouching in the queue waiting in front of Hogg's workshop, holding tightly the silver coin and the application form that the leader of the Port Thieves Guild block had given them, not daring to let it slip.

For this reason, he didn't even dare to fall asleep.

Because these two things were worth more than his life in the eyes of that group of thieves.

If he was taken away by other 'companions' in his sleep, he didn't know what kind of dismal fate he would face.

Although he had just joined the Thieves Guild a few days ago, he also knew that the so-called Thieves Guild was not a harmonious one, or even quite the opposite.

Thieves' guilds with different philosophies and different gangs often even conflict over their interests.

And paparazzi at the lowest level like them often become victims of conflicts between gangs.

Fortunately, he once again managed to hold on until eight o'clock the next day.

As the door of Hogg's workshop opened, Angus stood up hurriedly like everyone else, waiting to queue up.

Angus stood closer to the front, and it was his turn soon.

The first two times, he was worried that they would discover him if he queued up again like this.

In the end, the clerk just glanced at him, took the silver coin and the somewhat crumpled application form, and then asked him to report a 'name' and the so-called difference code, and fill it in on the application form.

On the top, he pulled it apart very skillfully, split it into two, returned the 'copy' with the copy to him, and took out a pair of exquisite snow boots from a wooden box and handed it to him, formula

He said:

“Welcome to visit next time.”

Angus rolled up the copy and stuffed it into his arms, then held the warm snow boots in his arms.

What a good material. It's a pity that these two things will be handed over to that damn woman later.

And just when he turned around to leave, a deep voice came from behind him:

"Hey kid, wait a minute."

"Have you been discovered?" Angus instantly tightened his body and instinctively wanted to run away.

But he was grabbed by the collar, "Why are you running? I don't want to eat you. Take it and leave after eating."

As soon as Angus turned around, his eyes were dazzled by the other party's bright bald head, and then something warm was stuffed into his hand.

It's a piece of dried meat that's still hot.

"Thank you, Mr. Master, but why?" Angus asked at a loss when he heard this.

I saw the bald mage raised his chin towards the second floor of the workshop behind him, and then said with profound meaning:

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank us, just thank our boss! He asked me to send it to you. He said that if you starve to death and freeze to death, no one will come to give us money. Take it, you lucky boy."

"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Master!" Angus couldn't help but say thank you again.

But the bald mage smiled and shook his head before turning around and entering the workshop. He just raised his hand and waved at him casually, as if to signal him to leave quickly after finishing the dried meat.

The dried meat was not big, and it was not difficult to bite after being cooked. Angus, who had not eaten any decent food for half a month, devoured it in just a few bites.

Soon I felt a warm current welling up from my chest and abdomen.

This was the first time he felt warmth after being abducted to this strange city.

Angus raised his head and glanced at the second floor of the workshop. Although he could not see through the reflective glass and knew that the being would not necessarily care about his thanks, he still bowed deeply in that direction.

After bowing, he turned and left.

But just when he reached the roadside, he was stopped again. At the same time, he looked closely at a small figure in the back seat of an approaching tricycle, and his voice suddenly became hoarse and choked:

"Why did Luo Jiali come to this city?"

Following his gaze, he saw an old man with gray hair riding an alchemy tricycle parked in front of Hogg's workshop.

And an elf girl dressed like a rag doll princess was standing on tiptoes on the back seat of the tricycle, with her hands on the old man's shoulders, almost her whole body hanging on the old man's back, talking to the other person.

Laughing.

Isn't it the Elf Luo Jiali who was treated as a little princess by these children at the beginning?

Although she looks younger than all the children, she firmly and persistently asks them all to call her sister.

It's a pity that most of those friends are now struggling to survive in this prosperous city.

Seeing the happiness in the other person's eyes, Angus immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what Luo Jiali went through later, but at least now it seemed that the life she lived was not bad, and she seemed to have been adopted.

He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have mentioned it in a conversation between a certain leader of the union, and it seemed that the cargo ship behind him had been hijacked.

Maybe, I really met a kind person.

Soon, he discovered that the other party did not just meet a 'kind-hearted person'

As the old man parked the modified alchemy tricycle at the entrance of the workshop with everyone envious, the bald mage who had handed him the meat came out and greeted the old man:

"Dad George, why are you here so early today? Hey! Luo Jiali is here too?!"

"Hey! When this kid heard that I was coming to the workshop, she said she missed her brother Calvin. I felt soft-hearted and took this little guy out for a ride." Old George glanced at Luo Jiali, his eyes full.

He smiled fondly.

"Isn't this a good thing? The South District is not far from the trade area anyway."

Fisher smiled evilly at the elf and said, "Little Carrie, do you still remember your Uncle Fisher?"

"Of course I remember! Uncle Fischer was very kind to Luo Jiali, just a little worse than brother Calvin." Luo Jiali blinked one eye and gestured to the mage named Fischer.

Two fingers.

"Hey! That's not right! Why am I the uncle, and that guy Calvin is the brother! We are just a generation apart in our relationship? This is not okay." Fisher shook his head.

"What about Brother Fischer?" Luo Jiali blinked her big innocent eyes and called out tentatively in a good-natured way.

The sound of Brother Fisher almost made the red-robed bald man excitedly spiral into the sky. He responded with a laugh and said: "Hey! Little Carrie is so good, come on! This is a little kid I've been tinkering with these days.

This thing is an evil protection pendant. If someone uses some evil spell on you, keep it and let him ascend to heaven. The materials are difficult to obtain. I am worried that this thing is worthless and has no sales, so I will give it to you as a meeting gift."

"Thank you Brother Fischer~ Luo Jiali will carry it with you every day." The scheming elf flattered you to break his attitude of not giving up until you were lifted to the sky, making the energetic Fischer feel like he was in the air.

.

"Hahahahaha, as long as little Carrie likes it."

Fisher touched his bald head and laughed a few times, then turned to the second floor and shouted: "Calvin! Your god-sister is here to see you!"

Not long after, Angus saw another middle-aged mage who seemed to have a higher status coming downstairs and taking Luo Jiali and the old man in together.

It wasn't until Luo Jiali's figure disappeared deep into the luxurious shop that Angus resisted the urge to follow her and reluctantly withdrew his complicated gaze.

"Luo Jiali, I wish you happiness"

Angus's eyes were red, and he murmured in the direction of Hogg's workshop, and then walked with heavy steps towards the corner, an alley that was not illuminated by the sun.

Just for a moment, he almost rushed forward. Maybe if he just rushed forward, with his relationship with Luo Jiali and the attitude of the mages towards Luo Jiali, he could save him from the sea of ​​suffering to a large extent.

But in his eyes, the Thieves Guild is too huge, so huge that even this small workshop may be overturned by revenge.

He didn't want Luo Jiali, who had finally regained happiness, to drag those kind-hearted mages into troubled waters because of his own selfishness.

This is the fate that these children need to face. There should be no more suffering.

Even though Luo Jiali's fate was so good that he almost went crazy with envy, he was so envious that he even felt a little bit jealous.

But he quickly suppressed this negative emotion and headed towards the place agreed with his 'mentor' in a daze.

"Something?" A few minutes later, the female thief who had caused him quite a psychological shadow reached out to him.

Angus naturally did not dare to resist at all, and handed over the application form and snow boots in his arms.

Originally, he thought that this time he would be like what happened a few days ago. The other party threw him a piece of black bread that looked like rotten wood and sent him to continue queuing.

However, something seems different today.

"Why is it so late this time? Have you ever cried? Why, it's been so many days and you haven't gotten used to suffering yet?" The female thief eagerly pulled out the joint whip from her waist and stared at him with squinted eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little homesick, but don't worry, mentor, I no longer have a home. Now, the union is my home, and mentor, you are my family." Angus lowered his head and racked his brains to get through.

"Well, that's quite honest." The female thief pursed her lips.

Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment.

Snapped!

The sound of the whip hitting the floor made Angus tremble.

The cold voice became sharp and mean:

"You're lying!" The woman's eyes suddenly became dangerous and excited, as if she had seen a prey that pleased her.

How could a child's acting skills deceive an old thief?
