Old Tom was a native of the City of Fortune, and he was proud of his origins.
Yes, the Man of Fortune - he never thought of himself as a Kalar.
From here, he can come into contact with people from all over the world. Whether it is Mrs. Tris from Titan, Father Tafuri from Suze, or even the silent wizard from Fararu, who may be graceful, bold, or fearless.
The bearing of death made Old Tom feel deeply inferior to his own origin.
Yes, what are the advantages of the Kalar people? They are rustic, selfish, and careless - it is better to say that it is precisely because of being a Kalar person that they become a homeless man with nothing to do.
No one hires me, and no one gives me a job. No matter how you think about it, it’s because you are a Kalar, right?
Old Tom lamented like this, huddled in the corner sadly every day.
In short, it is definitely not my fault. Last month, a wizard wanted Old Tom to help him with an experiment. How could such a smart old Tom not be able to complete such a simple task?
That was a turning point in his life, but was stopped by a jealous "friend" of his.
The man said that the wizard had no good intentions towards him. The wizard just wanted to use Old Tom as an experimental material. If Old Tom went with him, he would definitely die. Then when Old Tom went back to pack his things, he took that
The wizard was killed.
Even if he received half of the wizard's property without doing anything, Old Tom still hated his "friend" to the core.
How could he be deceived? Being treated as something like... experimental material? Old Tom deeply believed that he had always been an excellent person, one who had killed several formal professionals with his bare hands without a profession.
smart people.
If he hadn't had the opportunity all this time, Old Tom would have become a black iron - no, a bronze level strong man. And he could become a wizard! Become a smart wizard!
Old Tom always remembers the name of the person who blocked his opportunity - Justin. A Titan who went crazy because of his status as a formal assassin, and who was extremely hypocritical because of how much money he had in his family. From then on
Later, Old Tom resolutely moved out of Justin's warm home and lived outside in the increasingly cold wind.
Aren’t you just professionals? What’s so impressive about you?
Today, Old Tom is still hugging his knees, wearing three pieces of cloth, huddled in the corner, lazily basking in the winter sun, waiting for today's bread.
It has to be said that the Silent Wizard is indeed a foreigner and does not understand the rules of the City of Fortune at all.
With gold coins, he actually wants to distribute food to every homeless person on his street!
But this is better. Just like at Justin's house, free food will be delivered to him on time every day if he doesn't do anything. Although he is not full, he will not die of hunger. This way, he will not bother to rob passers-by. After all, in the City of Fortune
Maybe some passerby is an extremely strong person, and he can be stabbed to death with one finger.
Suddenly, he felt an extremely obvious vibration coming from underneath him.
what happened?
Before he realized what had happened, a huge explosion sounded from about half a street away from him. A wave of air carried dust and flew into his eyes, making him unable to see anything clearly.
...That direction is, Father Tafuri's tavern?
Based on the direction where the sound came from before, he made a vague guess based on his vague memory.
"Is Father Tafuri okay..."
He murmured, and was about to stand up, but when he saw an annoying figure flash past and enter the tavern, Old Tom curled his lips and curled back.
No matter what, it's none of his business anyway.
"Why not save people?"
An old but stern voice came from behind him.
"It's none of my business."
Old Tom muttered and covered himself again with the rag that was almost blown away by the storm just now.
He glanced back inadvertently, but his eyes almost popped out: "...Master Wizard?"
A figure wearing a black robe and carrying a suitcase was slender and sharp, his face hidden in the shadows that looked like twisted animal teeth.
Old Tom clearly remembered that the wizard who wanted him to be his assistant was also wearing a black robe - in his concept, wizards all wore black robes.
"That's okay if you want to understand."
The old man in the shadow looked at the suddenly exploding tavern in the distance with a calm tone.
But because of this indifferent tone, Old Tom strengthened his suspicion.
"Mr. Wizard, do you think you can make me your assistant?" A middle-aged man with an unkempt beard and brown hair that had turned white due to malnutrition walked over with a shy smile, "There used to be a Mr. Wizard who took a fancy to me, but he was
A bastard stopped it."
"...Oh, you have a good friend."
The old man's tone was still as calm as before, but in Old Tom's ears it was full of indignant sarcasm.
That's fine, that's fine... as long as I can talk.
Old Tom had never received any training as a wizard's assistant, and he didn't even know how to read. But he always felt that as long as he could speak, nothing would make a difference.
If you don't agree, you can do whatever you want. Judging from the old wizard's tone, his temper is not bad at all. For such a good-tempered person, even a wizard is easy to bully.
"Master Wizard..."
"Wizards pay attention to equal exchange," before Old Tom could finish speaking, the old wizard emphasized in an old voice, "Is there anything you want to do?"
What do you want to do?
Old Tom thought about it carefully and realized that there was only one answer: "Break Justin's hand. That's what I want to do now."
"Well, why not do it?"
"I can't beat him. He is a formal assassin and can stab me to death with his backhand."
Old Tom said very bachelorly.
"Why not kill him?"
"Master Wizard, I'm not stupid either," Old Tom smiled, "If I kill him, I'll chop off his hands. I've asked literate people. Although the Silent Wizard has punishments for people who are disabled or injured, it's just Guan San.
It's just a Tianshui Prison, and it also provides food and shelter, which is much better than being cold and hungry in days like this."
"Very good then," the old wizard took out a brown-red glass bottle from his suitcase, "here is a tube of potion. After you drink it, you will have the power to do what you want to Justin.
"
Potion! Alchemical potion!
Old Tom's eyes widened.
That's right... he had seen a bottle like this, brown, transparent, containing some kind of liquid. He saw that the weak dragon power potion that Justin spent six gold coins to buy was contained in this kind of bottle.
But he could see clearly that the bottle of potion was as clear as water, far less thick than this.
Old Tom couldn't imagine how many bottles of the potion Justin bought before could be mixed with this bottle of potion after diluting it.
One bottle is six gold coins! You can buy a house! You can play in the Green Fruit Lock for three nights, or you can buy more white bread than you can eat in a year!
"Is this... a dragon power potion? Or a strong dragon power potion? Did you give it to me?"
Old Tom's throat was dry and hoarse, and he unconsciously reached out to grab the medicine bottle.
"No, it's not yours now."
The old wizard put the potion bottle back, and Old Tom's eyes instantly became dangerous.
But randomly, what the old wizard said dispelled Old Tom's hostility: "Now that you know the dragon power potion, it will be easier to handle. This is not a concentrated dragon power potion, but a new potion I just developed. Just call it the intimidation potion."
...By the way, it is already so strong, if you mix it with water, it will be useless."
"After you drink it, you can safely beat your enemy named Justin. As long as you scold him with an angry face and loudly before beating him, he will never dare to fight back. Now go to the front
Look at the scene of the explosion, come back and tell me, and I'll give it to you - this is a deal. You know, wizards are all about equal exchange."
"Ah... equivalent... of course I know what it is."
"Also, go up and break his hand before he can react, and then run away and surrender directly. Don't let him have the opportunity to avenge himself after the drug wears off." The old man in black robe said naggingly.
With.
Hearing this, Old Tom showed a sinister smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Wizard, I understand this. Take a look at the scene of the explosion. I'll go right away. Mr., just wait here for a while..."
With the mentality of finally getting revenge, Old Tom couldn't wait to rush to the collapsed tavern.
As for what he wanted to do when he first found the wizard, Old Tom had completely forgotten.
"To use his life to beat up a friend who is really good to me... Such a touching IQ makes me doubt whether he can successfully enter the water prison."
Out of Old Tom's hearing, a snake-like voice came from under the shadow of the black robe, and the voice was full of ridicule. After all, everyone knew that the "assistant" in the dark wizard's mouth was just a reference to "test subject".
To be honest, Roland has never seen such a fool who is blinded by jealousy, but there are not many people who are so completely stupid and sincere.
"After the order of Broken Maw Avenue is broken down, the next step is to write a threatening letter," Roland paused and murmured, "If I remember correctly... the water prison is indeed connected to the Tillance Dam, right?
