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.
