Chapter 2: When the apprentice meets the soldier, the reason is unclear (Part 2)

Salin took the gold coins and changed into the robe prepared by Jason for him. This robe was not tailor-made. Salin has eaten it now, but after all, she is only 12 years old and is still not tall. The robe is cut off from the hem, but it still doesn't fit enough.

Now he has 6 gold coins, which is a lot of money. He could not spend so much in a year before.

There is still no change in Ceylon City. The lazy soldiers at the gate of the city did not look at Salin. Although they hadn't come for half a year, the soldiers still knew this little beggar. They earned the beggar city taxes? They would be laughed to death by other cities.

Salin came to a restaurant along the main road. He was not in a hurry to go to the food store. It was still early anyway. When he had no money, he always wanted to come here to eat it. Now he has six gold coins on his body, so he can finally realize his dream.

The restaurant occupies a considerable area, with a yard parked by carriages on the right. Although Ceylon City is no longer the past, there are still several nobles and merchants. Skochenya was established by merchants, and the four major commercial banks are spread throughout the continent of Meers. Ceylon City is also a port city. Even if it declines, it will be a centipede dead without being stagnant.

This restaurant is doing very well, and the rich people in Ceylon City choose to treat them here.

Salin had known the words now, so he looked up at the plaque, which was written in Mels on the main entrance with a line of words - Ceylon's Whale.

When Ceylon City was still prosperous, the restaurant's best dish was whale meat. Now there are fewer fishermen who are willing to go out to sea to catch whales. The restaurant hired a chef from the Qinin Empire to support the scene. However, this plaque with a history of hundreds of years has not been replaced. If you are willing to spend enough gold coins, there are still fishermen who are willing to risk their lives to travel far away.

Salin couldn't afford to eat whale meat, but it still couldn't cost two silver coins to order two dishes on the first floor.

He walked into the Ceylon Whale, found an empty seat and sat down. Unexpectedly, when the waiter saw him, he ran to the table and shouted at him, "Begging for food, hurry up and go out, there is nothing for you to eat."

Salin rushed upwards, his face turned red. He used to be a beggar, but now he is a magic apprentice. Even if he is an apprentice, he should have his own dignity. He took out a gold coin from his pocket, slapped it on the table, looked at the waiter with his eyes slanted, and asked, "Who is the beggar?"

The waiter was stunned, immediately changed into a smile, nodded and said, "Hey, Master, I recognized the wrong person. Yesterday, a kid didn't pay for the meal. It was definitely not you. Don't bother with me, I'll get you the menu now."

He was afraid that Salin would say something, so he turned around and left. Although Salin's anger was not calm, the waiter had already apologized. He was like a nouveau riche, and he felt bored when he made a fuss.

At this time, a few people came downstairs, but Salin didn't notice. The leader was an obese businessman. He was surrounded by the servant who kicked him and almost killed him.

The merchant was stunned when he saw Salin, especially the gold coins on Salin's table were bright, and it was obvious that they were Skochenya's oak gold coins, which were real.

The merchant left the Ceylon Whale and left the gate. Then he said to the servant beside him: "That boy seemed to be the unlucky guy from the Metatterin family just now. Why is he still alive?"

"Master, I'm also surprised. It's said that no one helped him. This kid should have starved to death. I seemed to have seen gold coins just now." The servant replied with his eyebrows down.

"Strange, where did he get the gold coins?"

"Master, I heard that a gang of thieves had appeared in the city and took in a few children. Do you think..."

"Don't he be a bug, you go to the city guard office and call a few soldiers to come, and you say we lost the money, arrested the kid, and killed him quickly. Take a gold coin, just say that..." The merchant reminded him carefully, and then turned around and entered the Ceylon Whale with several other servants.

Salin didn't know that the disaster was coming, so he ordered two dishes, which were not too expensive, and they were less than two silver coins together. He was still young and did not dare to drink, so he ordered a pot of tea and drank happily. Now he also felt that his dress was not suitable for Ceylon Whale, and diners who were looking at him were dressed appropriately, and some even wore clothes cut from the silk satin of the Qin Empire.

It seems that my robe was picked up, no wonder the waiter wanted to blow it out. When he had money, he would definitely buy a decent set of clothes so that he would not be looked down upon.

Salin's first dish had just arrived. Before he could pick up the knife and fork, four soldiers rushed into the door, pressed him down, and put on chains without saying anything.

"What are you doing?" Salin was shocked and angry. He was held tightly and could not resist at all.

"What are you doing? Boy, you dare to eat here after committing a crime and take it back!" The soldiers arrested were like wolves and tigers. They were from the City Guard Bureau and were responsible for the public security of Ceylon City. They had never had much money. Today, someone suddenly reported the case. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they actually got a gold coin first. This kind of transaction has not been encountered in two years.

"Fart!" Salin's face was pressed against the hard table, and he was a little confused. He thought he had nothing to do and struggled to resist. A soldier from the City Guard Department raised his leg and kicked Salin's ribs.

"Ao!"

Salin made a non-human voice. This kick was too fierce and cracks appeared in his bones. What's even more terrible is that this kick reminded him of the days when he was a beggar. He was kicked and beaten casually, but he didn't feel anything about being injured. But now, Salin felt humiliation. He turned his head and vomited a mouthful of phlegm on the face of another soldier.

The phlegm was exchanged for a punch and a fist. The fierce soldier simply tied Salin's mouth with iron chains. The four soldiers locked Salin and dragged them out. The merchant followed them sneakily. The waiter chased out and shouted, "Master, that man hasn't paid yet."

The soldier laughed and said, "He stole his money. Do you want the stolen money?"

"I dare not, don't dare." The waiter was timid and shouted in his heart that he was unlucky. Seeing that the boy was dressed incorrectly, he shouldn't have been entertained. The money for this meal would probably be deducted from his salary. Damn it, it's been in vain for more than half a month! He quickly turned around and brought the dishes on the table back, and ran to the kitchen again, hoping that he would save it before the second dish was made.

Salin was taken back to the City Guard Bureau, but he did not interrogate him and threw him directly into the dungeon.

Salin recovered some strength, and knocked on the iron bar desperately, shouting: "Why are you catching me!"

The four soldiers turned around and said with a smile: "I forgot if you don't say it. You have the stolen money on you, but you haven't searched it yet."

"This money is mine!" Salin was searched for six gold coins and could not resist.

"It's ours now." The soldier locked the iron door, not caring about what Salin shouted. He didn't even hear the key words in Salin's hoarse voice - my teacher is a magician! In fact, even if he heard it, these soldiers didn't believe it. Who is the magician? How could he ask this beggar to be a student? Even the city lord didn't have the chance to invite a magician back.

Salin is only now that he is really scared, he is even a little desperate, he still doesn't know what is going on. Jason often doesn't come out once every ten days, and doesn't eat the meal he prepares once a week.

The dungeon was dark, and Salin's heart became more and more frightened. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to shout. His face was extremely painful, especially the lower jaw part. Maybe his bones were cracked and his lips were swollen. Salin felt his eyes wet, but he endured them tightly.

I am already a magic apprentice, I can't cry anymore, never!

As night fell, Ceylon City calmed down, and the city gate had been closed. Under the moonlight, a figure quickly approached the city gate, with an amazing speed. The man came to the city gate, frowned, and waved his arms, and a pair of wing-like things spread behind him. He flew up in the air, crossed the city wall, and fell into the city.

The patrol soldiers found the figure and shouted: "Who is it!"

But the man ignored it, spread his figure in the moonlight, and disappeared at the end of the street like a blue smoke. The man soon came to the city guard office and stopped. Under the moonlight, the gray magic robe seemed extremely mysterious, as if smoke was surrounding him. This man was Jason Statham. He put a magic mark on Salin. Before Salin went back, Jason knew something was wrong and immediately came to Ceylon City according to the prompts of the magic mark.

The magic mark can guide the magicians, even if Salin is locked underground, it will not be difficult for Jason. He raised his hand and shot a fireball, blasted open the gate of the City Guard Bureau, and walked in high spirits.

"Who..." The soldier on duty shouted for a moment, and Jason grabbed the collar and lifted it up. The fifth-level magician was extremely strong, and even ordinary swordsmen could not fight.

"Where are the kids I caught today? Take me there." Jason's voice was cold, and he was not as kind as he had when facing Salin.

"What kid?"

Jason pulled the soldier's face closer, stared into his eyes and said, "Take me to the place where the prisoners are kept, and call all of you."

The soldier was so scared that he saw a demon in the middle-aged man holding him, and he was poking his tongue out of his black eyes and wrapping his neck around him, making it difficult for him to breathe. His legs became weak, his mouth foamed, and he collapsed on the ground. Jason frowned, and he had used the shock technique a little too much. This soldier was at most a junior swordsman and could not afford it.

Jason simply followed the prompts of the magic mark and found the dungeon all the way and used the lighting technique. There was a light in the dungeon. Salin saw Jason appear suddenly, holding the iron bar tightly with his hands, unable to speak. His voice was almost completely hoarse.

After Jason made such a fuss, soldiers on duty had already blocked the exit of the dungeon. A soldier shouted loudly: "The bold thief, you dare to rob the prison, hurry up and put down your weapons!"

What else he wanted to say, another eye-catching soldier pointed to the glowing dungeon and stammered: "It seems...it seems..."

"Magic? What a joke!"

"Really, look!"

Jason ignored these people. He held the lock with one hand and gently pulled it, and the lock opened itself. Salin pushed open the iron door, rushed out, and almost threw himself into Jason's arms. His lips squirmed a few times, and he couldn't even hear the sound of his throat.

"Who caught my student?" Jason asked expressionlessly.

The soldiers looked at each other and dared not answer. Someone cursed in his heart, "That bastard caused trouble, and he was afraid that he had a long life." He actually caught the magician's student.

"If no one knows..." Jason didn't say much. When he stretched out his hand, a fireball appeared in his palm, floating quietly in his palm. The fireball technique is just a first-level magic, but if you want to attract but not fire, it requires at least the strength of a fourth-level magician. However, for these ordinary soldiers, even a few-level magician can't afford to offend.

"Big, big, big, big, big, sir, don't get angry, I'll find you now." A soldier turned around and ran out.
