Chapter 42

"Master wizard, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Two scoundrels dressed in sloppy clothes came to Lauren who turned around with a smile and a look of "warm-hearted": "this is your first time. Why don't you tell us where you're going? We can give you a ride."

"Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, but please allow me to decline your kindness." the formulaic smile and a shiny silver coin were thrown into each other's arms: "please have a drink, which is a thank-you gift."

"It's only a piece of silver. It's so simple that you want to send us both?" another rogue stepped forward with a sneer and threatened with his arm: "don't think we don't know what you did in the priest's house!"

"Calm down, calm down, let's solve the problem peacefully." Loren still had the same smile, and his right hand hidden under the wizard's cloak still pressed on the hilt of the sword: "besides, I still don't understand."

"Little grandma has to pretend to be garlic and sneak out of the back wall. Fools know what you did!" the scoundrel scolded directly and pointed his right hand to the tip of Lauren's nose: "there are many good things hidden in the priest's house. You must have made enough oil and water!"

"Well... I don't know how much money can satisfy you two?" obviously, the other party is not only a rogue, but also a blackmailer: "give me a number, how much money can you seal?"

"Twenty gold coins!" cried the scoundrel impatiently, and licked his lips.

"Yes." Lauren readily agreed, and his left hand leaned back to the waist, ready to take out his wallet.

"Wait!" another guy suddenly stopped the scoundrel in front and looked back and forth at Lauren with distrustful eyes: "this guy is a wizard. Who knows if he will do any tricks. What should we do in case of a hole?"

"Otherwise, let's count one, two, three, and then you throw the money bag." the scoundrel stared at his every move: "what do you say?"

Loren readily agreed.

"Well, then... One, two, three!"

At the same moment, Loren suddenly raised his left hand, caught the stick from the top of his head behind and grabbed it directly!

"The old routine of sneak attack behind the back is really hard to try..."

Loren, who was talking to himself, didn't give the two scoundrels many chances to be shocked. First, he knocked out the guy standing in front. The right foot directly kicked on the chin of the one behind. The fat scoundrel directly fell down. As soon as he landed on the ground, he was kicked by Loren again. He fainted in front of him.

When Loren cleaned up cleanly, threw away his stick and turned around, the child who was just about to sneak into him was stunned. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the scene just now.

Loren looked at the boy. He was eleven or twelve years old. He was wearing a big hat. It was inconspicuous to throw it anywhere. The calluses on his hands and the old wounds on his face showed that he had been doing this for more than two days.

When Lauren was almost in front of him, he remembered to run away. Lauren had pressed one hand on his shoulder. The boy didn't want to turn his head and bite!

Subconsciously, Loren pulled back his hand and immediately found that the other party was just a fake shot. Like a fish, he slipped out of his hand and ran out in the blink of an eye.

If it had been in the past, Loren might have really missed, but now this is the skill of snapping his fingers. A hovering spell knocked the boy staggering, then he fell to the ground, and his right hand had been pressed on the boy's throat.

"Please, as long as you don't hit my hand, you can do whatever you want!"

The boy was honest and immediately confessed to counseling when he saw that he couldn't escape. Lauren smiled, released his hand and stood up: "get up, I'm not going to hit you, just want to ask a few small questions."

The timid boy curled up on the ground. After confirming that Loren was not going to kick him off, he slowly got up, swallowed saliva and lowered his head: "I, I don't know anything!"

"What has the final say?" Loren squatted down on the shoulders of the boy and looked at him with four eyes. "What's your name?"

"Hat, hat, my name is hat!" the boy sniffed and looked wary and frightened. "That's what big guys call me."

"Guys, how many of you?"

"There are three of us! You can see it." the boy quickly flattered and smiled.

Lauren smiled and snapped her fingers. The forehead looks like a boy who was bounced. He bared his teeth and didn't shout out.

"Don't lie, hat, I can hear it." Lauren smiled kindly. "So please don't lie to me again. Who let you watch me here?"

"No, no..." before the hat said, he saw Lauren raise his right hand again. The boy's expression changed, and then clenched his teeth: "no one let us do this!"

Obviously, this matter is very important to him. He would rather be beaten than say it, so the threat is useless. He must change his way.

In the bottom of my heart, Lauren smiled and nodded, "I believe you - but what do you say about robbing me?"

As soon as the boy breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately became nervous: "do you want to or do you think you haven't seen anything?"

"Well, even do me a favor," Lauren suggested. "We have the right to pretend that nothing has happened and you haven't seen me leave there. Your two friends are just drunk. How about it?"

The hat nodded violently. As soon as Lauren let go, he disappeared into the field of vision like a wild cat on the street.

The proud radian slowly rose in the corner of his mouth, patted the gray Lorraine who stood up, and followed the boy leisurely - if everything goes well, he might be able to find a very important clue for himself.

Gumu town is not big, but the boy is obviously experienced. I walked around the village and town, looked back at the corner from time to time, and didn't continue until I was sure there was no one. Following him, Loren followed him around most of the villages and towns before reaching his final destination, a shanty town in the southwest corner of the villages and towns.

After making several rounds around the shanty town to make sure no one's hat behind him, he carefully walked to a nearly ruined warehouse - it seems that it used to be a barn, but now it has become a hiding place for the poor in villages and towns.

"Hey, hat, how did you come back?" as soon as the boy entered the door, a fat scoundrel stopped him: "where are the two guys with you?"

"He and they went to drink, and probably won't be back until later." the pale hat was stopped by Leng Buding, and lied a little guilty.

"These two bastards must have hidden something!" the jealous scoundrel couldn't help yelling out: "the boss clearly said that all the good things you get have to be turned over, and everyone should share them equally!"

The relieved hat nodded and smiled. Just about to leave, the fat man pressed his shoulder: "Hey, by the way. The boss said that the old man who gave us work might come today. Did you see his carriage at the door?"

"No..." the hat mentioned his throat again, with a cold sweat behind his back: "is that master coming today?"

At the thought of what happened this afternoon, hat was a little scared - he thought it was just a small matter of making two spare money, but he seemed to be involved in a deadly relationship!

Want to lie? But what if those idiots wake up and expose themselves? But if you tell the truth, the wizard master probably won't let himself go

"What's the matter with you? Don't get sick?" seeing the boy's sudden change in complexion, the scoundrel quickly stepped back for fear of sticking something - in this place, death is more terrible than starvation. They scoundrels have no money to buy medicine.

"No..." just wanted to deal with the two sentence hat, I heard a commotion outside the barn. Just wanted to go out and have a look, I found an old carriage outside the door.

A drop of cold sweat fell on the ground under his feet.

How on earth should I explain it later?!
