Chapter 1 Cold Town

There are five countries on 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 the Tianyuan Continent. Except for the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire, which have poor relations among the four major kingdoms, the other countries can live in peace. Every year, each country must submit a certain amount of "

“Protection fees” are used as expenses for the Holy See.

The humans in the Tianjin Empire are almost all Caucasians, with tall bodies and blond hair and blue eyes, while the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire are both yellow races, with black hair and black eyes. The only federal country on the continent.

The race of the federation 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, the Solo Federation is composed of six ethnic groups.

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 orcs who only live in dense forests.

As well as the most mysterious Dark Demon Clan and the legendary Dragon Clan. These races, which are fewer in number than humans, are scattered among various countries. They have been coexisting peacefully with humans for thousands of years. However, due to different living habits, alien races generally

They 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 continent, the Holy See has the supreme status on the continent. Except for a very small number of atheists, almost all humans are loyal believers of the Holy See. The clergy are all

The most respected profession 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. Below the red priests are

Twelve white-robed priests. When more than half of the red-robed priests and white-robed 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, there has been no impeachment of the pope since the birth of the Holy See.

The situation. Under the white-robed priests, there are senior priests, intermediate priests, ordinary priests and preliminary priests. The priests are also called monks or goddesses. Clergy in the Holy See are not taboo about marriage, but the partner of the union must be the most loyal to the Holy See.

Believers. There is another reason why clergy are respected. That is because they are all light magicians. If they want to be promoted to the position of white priest, the monks must be light magicians or above.

The level of magicians on the mainland has 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, their brightness would be

The power of magic can be equivalent to the total force of any country. The promotion of the pope is usually selected from the red priests, which requires an extremely strict procedure. After the new pope is selected, the old pope will hold a ceremony.

The inheritance ceremony transmits 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 that required the Pope to take action. The Holy See generally handles external matters.

Everything is supervised by the priests of the Trial House. The chief judge of the Trial House has the same rights as the red priest. The judges under the chief judge are also called the executioners of the Holy See. They are the craziest believers in the gods. When dealing with aliens,

When it comes to believers, there is always only one word - kill. Unlike orthodox clergy, all members of the Inquisition 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 a coin engraved with the Holy See emblem customized by the Holy 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

A family's annual income 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 aristocrats in each country, the Holy See language is generally used. Our story begins with a small city in the northernmost province of Birno in the Tianjin Empire on the north side of the continent.

Nino started it.

Nino City is a small town located at the northernmost tip of the Bierno Province in the Tianjin Empire. It belongs to the northernmost range 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 lean on the ice beside the small town.

They make a living by fishing in the sea. There are moving icebergs floating in the ice sea all year round. The seals and sea lion furs that are abundant there are very popular among the nobles.

The dark clouds in the sky floated 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 had a scar on his forehead.

The middle-aged man was glaring in front of him at a little girl with black hair and black eyes, only 12 or 3 years old, wearing thin clothes. The little girl was very thin, with a sallow face, and a half-length hair covering the area above her nose.

He couldn't see his appearance clearly, his whole body was trembling, and his big bright eyes looked at the middle-aged man in fear through his black hair.

“Pa—” the middle-aged man slapped the little girl to the ground and cursed angrily: “You damn girl, you’re so stupid, you can’t even complete such a simple task. If Dumb hadn’t pulled you back, how could you have done it?

Why don't you accompany that old lady? I was really blind back then, how could I take in a loser like you? You only know how to eat all day long and don't know how to do anything else."

Next to the middle-aged man, a boy who was 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, girl, 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 said: "Ah-Dai, every time you plead for her, just those few fish you brought back, can you

Do you want to eat? In my place, no one can get something for nothing, girl, for the sake of Dumb, I will let you go again today, and there will be another time, hum. Let’s go." He said, taking the others with him.

Several young children walked out. Before they reached the entrance of the alley, Uncle Li turned around again and said to Dumb in a friendly manner: "Don't forget what you just said. It's best to catch a few big fish. You know

What?"

Dumb nodded in confusion, and then Uncle Li left with satisfaction.

This group of people are the lowest level 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 fishing is stealing, and Uncle Li is theirs.

There are more than a dozen children under him. Only the girl is a girl. They are all orphans he picked up from the street. Among these children, this boy named Dumb is the most capable. At first, Uncle Li fell in love with him.

Ah-Dai only took him in because he had a pair of dexterous little hands. This child has always been dull-witted. Sometimes he speaks awkwardly. I don’t know his name when I ask him. He also learns the skills of stealing very slowly.

, his brain didn’t seem to work very well, so everyone called him Dumb. However, although Dumb was stupid, he was very persistent. After several months of Uncle Li’s teachings and his own hard work, he finally remembered how to trick people.

This move, and he has practiced this move to the point of perfection. In order to practice the speed of the move, he even poked the snowflakes on the ground with his finger on the cold street. The less snowflakes stuck, it proved that his eyesight was better.

, although this method is stupid, it has a very good effect. After several months of practice, Ah-Dai finally has the basics of holding fish. What excites Uncle Li the most is that Ah-Dai is stupid and doesn’t know what fear is.

, also doesn’t understand that catching fish is a bad thing. As long as you give him steamed buns to eat, he will definitely do as he is told.

Walking on the street, no one would pay attention to a child who looks unremarkable and has straight eyes. However, often in the blink of an eye, their money bag is already in Dumb’s hands. When Uncle Li saw him for the first time

When Ah-Dai saw the bulging money bag in his hands, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. From then on, Ah-Dai became the most "pampered" among the children. He could eat at least one or two cold hard snacks every day.

The steamed buns were the envy of other companions. Although Dumb was a bit stupid, he was a good person. He often gave away part of the food to others when he was not full. However, those companions did not do it because of his

Although he is kind and grateful, he often teases him and even robs him of his food.

The girl was taken in 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, that girl

The old lady fell ill and died, and the girl had no source of income 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 old lady left to the girl.

House, in the cold city of Nino, what is better than a house sheltered from the wind and snow? Yatou is just the opposite of Dumb. She learns everything very quickly. Uncle Li’s "skills" are mastered in less than a month.

She has mastered everything. However, the girl is also the only child who has never caught a fish. It is not because she is not skilled, but the most important thing is because her heart is so kind. She has succeeded 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, Ah-Dai bore it for her. This one was smart and the other was stupid.

The children also naturally became good friends. They were very conspicuous among this group of thieves because they were the only ones of the yellow race. Perhaps it was for this reason that Dumb and the girl developed a deep friendship with each other. Today

, and because the girl returned the things she got to the anxious woman, she was beaten by Uncle Li.

Uncle Li's figure finally disappeared at the end of the alley, and the girl threw herself into Ah-Dai's arms and cried loudly. Ah-Dai stared blankly at the thin body in his arms, wiped the snot from his face, and patted it carefully.

He touched the girl's shoulder and said, "Girl, don't, don't cry. 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!"

Dumb obviously didn't understand what the girl meant. He took out half a steamed bun that was as hard as a rock from his arms and handed it over. He said blankly: "Girl, let's eat it for you. Once you're full, you won't feel any pain."

The girl looked at the silly but sincere boy in front of her, took the buns over, sobbed a few times, and said, "Brother Dumb, why are you so nice to me?"

Duan took the girl and sat in the corner, took off the tattered cotton-padded jacket he was wearing, draped it on their shoulders, snuggled up with the girl, and said innocently: "Am I good to you? Come and eat the steamed buns.

, I feel better after eating the steamed buns. I will go fishing later." As he said that, he looked at the half of the cold, stone-like steamed bun in the girl's hand 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.

Duan swallowed and said, "I, I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself."

The girl put 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 she said that, she held her quarter piece of steamed bun in both hands and took a big bite.

Dumb 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, ugh."

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.

Duan 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, trying hard to think about the meaning of the word "marriage". After a long time, he hesitated and asked: "What is marriage?"

The girl sighed secretly and said: "Marrying means that I will be your wife and take care of you for the rest of my life! I will treat it as your promise and don't go back on it. From now on, my girl will be your fiancée, Dumb. You can do it in the future.

Treat me well."

Dumb nodded and said, "Fiancée? Oh, okay, then I'll 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 scold you again."

Me, I'll go with you."

Dui nodded, helped the girl stand up, and asked: "Girl, why are you better at skills than me, but you always return the fish to others?"

The girl sighed and said, "Brother Dumb, don't you know that stealing other people's things is wrong?"

Dumb shook his head and said: "But, if we don't catch the fish, we will starve!"

The girl knew that she and this stupid guy couldn't explain it clearly, 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 start.

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 long after they walked out, a call 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. The face of an old woman appeared on the small window of the carriage. The girl recognized that it was the person who returned the money bag today.

"Little girl, is it really you?" There was a smile of surprise 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. She was wearing luxurious clothes.

It was made of fabric that the girl had never imagined, and it was covered with a mink fur shawl.

The girl said timidly: "You, what can I do for you?"

Dumb 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 smiled and said: "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: "No need to thank you, I stole your wallet in the first place."

Dui was startled. Although he was stupid, he knew very well what would happen if he was caught by the person holding the fish. 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 still said with a smile: "Then why did you return the money bag to me again?"

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 things difficult for him. If you want to hit me, just hit me."

The old woman smiled slightly and said: "Well, you are indeed an honest and kind-hearted good boy. I know that you must not be willing 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, come, let grandma take a look." As she said this, she waved to the girl.

A'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 her 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 to the back of her head, took out a white handkerchief from her arms and 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 a normal education."

The girl's big eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai looked a little anxious and stood still in place.

"What? My child, aren't you willing to leave 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 Ah-Dai, who just happened to wipe 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 is really cold here."

The girl hesitated for a moment, 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 go. Let's get in the carriage and find a place to help you change your 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 without food and clothing anymore.

My life is over, Brother Dumb, you have to remember what we just said, when I grow up, I will definitely come back to you."

Dumb 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 a chance, you should also leave Uncle Li,

He is not a good person. 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 had already turned around and ran to the old woman. The old woman got on the carriage first. With the help of the servant, the girl

She also got on the warm and gorgeous looking carriage. Before lowering the curtain, 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 going away, Ah-Dai felt a faint sense of loss in his heart. For Ah-Dai, in his heart, the girl was the only thing more important than the steamed buns.

thing.

…………

“Pa—” Uncle Li knocked a few small money bags out of Ah-Dai’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.

Duan huddled on the ground in pain and sobbed: "No, I didn't ask her to leave, she wanted to leave on her own."

Uncle Li was furious. After hearing Ah-Dai's words, he became even more angry. He kicked Ah-Dai hard several times and cursed angrily: "If she wants to leave, just let her go! You're stupid enough to die. I'll make you stupid, I'll let you."

Silly." Screams kept coming from Ah-Dai's mouth, and 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 broke it, where would he find such obedient subordinates? He picked up the money bag on the ground angrily,

He said to Dumb: "Teach me to be smarter from now on." A man walked out, and the thieves all knew that he was going to drink.

Duan 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 were eating 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, not even the dregs were gone. He

My heart seemed to be pressed by something, and my longing for the girl became stronger and stronger. 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.

The scattered snowflakes falling from the sky brought a faint chill to passers-by. Walking slowly on the road, Ah-Dai thought to himself, when will an old woman appear again and take him away? When will he be satisfied with the steamed buns?

I wonder what happened to the girl? She and the old woman left. Do they have steamed buns to eat every day?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a strangely dressed man in front of him. The reason why he felt strange was that the man's tall figure was completely shrouded in a large cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly from the outside. Under the cloak

There seemed to be a bulging money bag hanging around, and Ah-Dai decided to make him his first target today. While thinking about it, Ah-Dai quietly followed him and took out his sharp little blade from his belt.

Waiting for the opportunity to strike. The reason why Dui can often successfully catch fish is closely related to his tenacity. 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 let him have a full meal of steamed buns. He squatted in the corner next to the door of the restaurant and waited patiently.

"Go, go, go, you little beggar, just stay here." The doorman of the restaurant kicked Ah-Dai and looked at him with disgust and said.

Dui had long been accustomed to such a snobbish doorman, so 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, Dui waited patiently. He was not in a hurry. He always had to come out after eating.

A full hour passed. Finally, the man in the big cloak walked out. What made Ah-Dai very excited was that the man was walking towards him head-on. The front was the best place to attack. He quickly stood up and stabilized

Controlling his mind, he 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 Ah-Dai scratched his hair with a hand with a razor blade.

, just when the two were one meter apart, Ah-Dai stumbled and collided with the man.

Dui 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 that person. It was an old face, with countless fine lines on his face.

The wrinkles make him look like he is 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, said nothing, and continued to walk forward, seemingly unaware that a gap had been cut in his cloak and the money bag around his waist had disappeared.

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 to the ground. It affected the wound where he was beaten by Uncle Li yesterday, making him constantly hurt.

Spasms. 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 transaction. He stood up unsteadily, and he quickly

He ran into an alley. He turned around and saw that no one was chasing him. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and sat down. However, what Ah-Dai didn't know was that the person he was stealing from was working in the mainland.

A special profession - 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 is 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, and the mercenaries are scattered all over the country.

The branch of the Military Union is 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

Generally, employers like to find powerful mercenary groups to carry out some very difficult tasks, even if they pay a high price. Mercenaries and mercenary groups are divided into six levels, with the lowest level being level four.

Mercenaries or mercenary groups, and so on, are the third-level mercenaries, second-level mercenaries, first-level mercenaries, special-level mercenaries and the highest-level super mercenaries. Due to the large number of mercenaries and mercenary groups

, so 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, the high-level mercenary or mercenary group is

Very respected by peers below him.

In the Magician's Guild, magicians are the second most important profession on the mainland after clergy. Since the practice of magic has extremely high requirements for their own quality, the number of magicians is extremely rare. Among them, almost all magicians who practice light magic are

Being absorbed by the Holy See makes magicians even more precious. They are often hired with high salaries. Among the armies, almost all intermediate magicians and above will be ennobled by the kingdom where they live. Therefore, the profession of magician is also for ordinary civilians.

The most desirable thing is that it represents reputation and power. 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

Magicians generally go to the Magician's Guild to obtain badges corresponding to their level in order to receive corresponding rewards. Of course, obtaining the badge requires passing the Magical Guild's assessment. The Magician's Guild is also the only union that gives money without having to pay for it.

Although the alchemist union 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.

The best choice. The Tianjin Empire got its name because they have 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 stronger than magicians is that they can deal with all kinds of magic.

With knowledge of minerals and medicines, powerful alchemists can often forge high-level magic weapons. The value of these magic weapons is almost inestimable, and they are deeply loved by royal families of various countries and even the Holy See. Alchemists are also the most powerful of all professions except killers.

A wealthy group. Alchemists are divided into apprentice, junior, intermediate, senior, special and master levels. Although alchemists also have corresponding level badges that are common in all countries, high-level alchemists often disdain to receive them.

The Killers 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 members in the Killer Guild is not large, they all have high abilities. They accept killing tasks through some underground channels and receive fees.

High commissions. The union is extremely well-organized. There are only two ways to join it. One is to go through various difficult tests. Second, the killer union will announce a very difficult task every year. As long as someone can complete this task, they will be

The Killer Guild is recruited as a 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 between humans, this other ordinary group of people

The union, which is so talkative, can always survive on the mainland. Killers also have obvious levels of distinction, from low to high, they are assassins, assassins, ninja killers and exterminators. These killers are managed by the killer union, and their identities are extremely secret

, unknown to outsiders. They do not belong to any country, and their number never exceeds a hundred, but they are a quite terrifying force. There are very few magicians among the killers.

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, and although there are no requirements for its members

The killer union is so strict, but it also needs to go through various assessments and only absorb those thieves with high quality and professional skills. The levels of thieves from low to high are divided into thieves, advanced thieves and acquirers. Generally, thieves who can reach the level of acquirers are

They have the honor of stealing priceless treasures many times. They are also the group most feared by most nobles. The Thieves Guild has the strictest rule, that is, killing is absolutely not allowed. It is precisely because of this that they are not allowed to be killed.

In order to better complete the tasks assigned by their employers, the Thieves Guild 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 money bag, Ah-Dai's heart was filled with joy. The money bag was very delicate, made of leather, with a six-pointed star made of gold thread on it. Ah-Dai had never seen such a beautiful money bag. He

He hurriedly opened the top of the rope and groped inside. He daydreamed about how wonderful it would be if there was a rose amethyst coin in his wallet! He had stolen it once in more than a year of work.

Amethyst Coin, I remember that time, Uncle Li was so excited that he rewarded him with a big chicken leg, which made other companions envious. He had never eaten such delicious food, and finally shared it with the girl and ate even the bones.

It entered his stomach. The wonderful taste still makes him have endless aftertaste.

When Ah-Dai took out all the coins in the wallet, he was stunned in surprise. Because, in the wallet, 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 there was even one that was shining brightly.

, a blue coin that he had never seen before. Looking at the small pile of purple awns, it was a dozen "chicken legs"! "I can eat, I can finally eat." Dui was excited.

shouted.

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 ear, "Have you never had enough to eat?"

Ah-Dai's whole body was shaken, and the coins in his hand couldn't help but scatter 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,

Keep chanting.

"Do you think God 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 and threw the money bag out. His whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing. He was still a child after all, and the fear showed in his eyes.

And out. Sparse snowflakes were still falling continuously, and the sky was still so dark. At this moment, the tattered cotton jacket on Ah-Dai's body seemed to be no longer able to 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, and a blurry figure appeared.

Above the money bag, the figure gradually became clearer, it was the old man wearing the big cloak just now.

Weird and deep sounds 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 physical entity, floating lightly and falling to the ground.

The old man landed 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 really unfamiliar!"

Seeing the person he was holding the fish in such a weird situation, no matter how stupid he was, Ah-Dai knew that he was in danger. He never thought that he, who had not missed a fish for four months, would actually succeed in holding a big fish.

In the case of fish, he was caught by the financial owner. He huddled up in a ball on the ground, his body kept shaking. He thought that what he was about to face would be a brutal beating. This was not the first time he had been in this situation.

I met him once. 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 the fish, let alone eat it.

My 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 trembling, and he carefully put the Yi Mei Mei coins back into the purse. This process lasted for a long time. Strangely, the old man did not urge him, and a pair of lights flashed under his cloak.

His eyes kept looking at Ah-Dai.

"Okay, okay, here, here you go." Dui 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 the other party would beat them later.

Be gentle. Dumb has never thought of resisting, so how could he resist with his "tempered" body? Even if the other party is an old man.

The old man took the money bag and neither took action nor let Dumb 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 nice, 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, have you?"
