Chapter 278 Ian's Order
Bai Sha took the piece of black bread, which was harder than wood, and soaked it in clear water for a while, until it softened, then picked up the piece of black bread and gnawed on it like a weasel. 【 】
"Bosha, I heard that the court archmage Ian will open a magic academy in the holy city of Lancheng. Anyone who is over ten years old can go to the magic academy to study. If the magic aptitude is strong enough, Tuition fees can be waived, and there will be a monthly subsidy of three silver coins to one gold coin. Now that I have accepted the qualification test, I want to try it.”
Arthur slowly stretched out his hands. On his hands, except for ten fingers, the rest were covered with various injuries, and his arms were also full of welts and knife wounds.
As a goldfinger (thief) at the bottom of society, Arthur took a younger sister and struggled alone in this slum, and it was normal for him to be injured.
Once the thieves in the Morrison Empire were caught on the spot, it was normal for them to be beaten. If you have poor eyesight, steal it from the nobles, and be discovered by those nobles, you may be beaten to death.
Arthur saw with his own eyes a Goldfinger stealing money from a nobleman. After being caught by the nobleman, he beat him to death and threw his body into a stinking ditch. No one dared to take care of him.
Arthur was also caught on the spot for stealing and was tortured cruelly, so he was covered in injuries.
Bai Sha raised his head, looked at Arthur with admiration, and said, "Brother, you are the best, I believe you will be able to become a magician!"
With a bright light in Arthur's eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Let's go together. In this way, even if only one person can join the Magic Academy, our destiny can be changed."
A look of fear flashed in Bai Sha's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "But, brother, isn't it very dangerous outside? Jin Na was taken away not long ago."
In this slum, pretty little girls are also very dangerous. Once discovered, those gangsters would arrest them, take those little girls away, or sell them. Or become a young prostitute, and her life will be ruined.
Arthur was so careful that he didn't want people to know that he had a younger sister who was more beautiful. That would be a huge disaster for both siblings.
"Put on this set of clothes, let's go." Arthur threw a set of black robes that could completely cover a person's body to Bai Sha and said in a deep voice.
Bai Sha put on the obviously long black robe, and his body was completely covered by the black robe. The lower half of the robe dragged directly above the ground.
Arthur opened the door, stretched out his head, looked left and right for a while, beckoned, and then stepped out of the door.
Only then did Bai Sha walk out of the room, following behind Arthur like a little tail.
Arthur led Baisha carefully through the streets and alleys of the slum, avoiding the sight of all kinds of people.
After passing through one street after another, Arthur took Bai Sha carefully to a place only one street away from the slums.
"Arthur, where do you want to go?"
Suddenly. A loud voice sounded from the side, and a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a haggard face walked out from the side, blocking the way of the Arthur brothers and sisters, overlooking the Arthur brothers and sisters, showing a sneer.
Arthur saw the middle-aged man's eyes shrink slightly,
Fear flashed in his eyes, and he turned his hand, and a dagger appeared on his right hand immediately.
The middle-aged man's real name was Dim, and he had a nickname in the slums called Poison Dog. He is a member of the notorious black poker gang, whose main business is human trafficking. Many young girls from the slums were captured by them and sold to various nobles, or sold directly to brothels.
Everyone in the slums hated Poison Dogs very much, but there was nothing they could do about them. As long as the person inside the black playing card doesn't leave the ghetto. If you harass the civilians and nobles in the Holy City, the Imperial Security Office will not be dispatched to sweep them up.
Arthur said with a gloomy face, "Dim, I want to go out, get out of the way!!"
In this slum, one must learn to be tough. Never let people see that you are a little timid. Otherwise, countless vicious dogs will rush over and tear you to pieces.
Dim smiled contemptuously, turned his hand over, and a dagger kept turning over in his hand as if it had life, and then he directly held it in his hand: "Little bastard, you dare to play with a knife in front of me. How stupid, you Don’t you know that here, there are no more than three people who are better at knives than me!!”
Dim stuck out his tongue and licked his lips in a perverted manner, and showed a hint of excited smile: "The one next to you is your sister Baisha! Her good friend Jin Na, she was put on my crotch yesterday. Everything is recruited."
Bai Sha's petite body trembled slightly, and she bit her lips tightly. She didn't expect that Jin Na, whom she had always regarded as a good friend, betrayed her.
Arthur twitched slightly and said loudly: "Dim, we are going to study magic in the Magic Academy built by Archmage Ian. Archmage Ian has issued an order that no one should stop us from going to the Academy of Magic to accept the qualification test. Do you want to be an enemy of Archmage Ian?"
Dim's complexion changed slightly, he hesitated for a while, a flash of determination and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Unfortunately, you are slow! Originally, I just wanted to catch your sister for fun, and then sell it. It seems that now, I can only kill all of you brothers and sisters. Otherwise, after you learn magic, come back to revenge me, wouldn't I have a dead end. And now I just need to kill you and throw them into the stinky ditch , who would know that you want to study at the Academy of Magic?"
"You untouchable, you really have the guts to disobey Lord Ian's orders."
A disdainful voice sounded from the side, and a middle-aged man wearing a black mage's robe walked over under the guard of a knight in heavy armor covering his whole body.
Behind the magician and knight followed a burly middle-aged man who was blind in one eye and wore a black eyepatch with a gloomy expression. Behind the middle-aged man followed a dozen strong and burly men.
When Dim saw the one-eyed man, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Boss!!!"
The one-eyed man who was blind in one eye was the big one-eyed dragon of the black poker underground force in this slum, and his vicious name could make anyone in the slum tremble.
The one-eyed dragon's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "Bastard, put down the knife quickly."
Dim flipped his hand, and the dagger disappeared immediately.
The middle-aged magician said indifferently: "Bender, what did I tell you? Did you take Lord Ian's order as a deaf ear?"
One-eyed Bender looked flattering, nodded and bowed and said, "My lord, I don't dare. When I go back, I must educate Dim well, no! I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back, so that everyone will know the consequences of disobeying the orders of the adults." .”
Arthur looked at the one-eyed Bender's obsequious look, and couldn't believe his eyes. Bender has always been domineering and domineering in front of everyone, but now he is as docile as a dog in front of the middle-aged magician. It is the first time in his young heart that he truly understands the magician's personality. The weight of three words.
"Let me teach you a lesson? You lowly bastards violated your lord's order, and you have to die to atone for your sin!" The middle-aged magician sneered and recited the incantation silently. Pointing at Nadim.
A ball of fire suddenly appeared, turned into a beam of light and blasted on Dim's body.
"what!!"
Dim let out bursts of screams, and suddenly turned into a burning man enveloped in flames, struggling in pain, and then turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the gang members inside the black playing cards felt sad and glared at the middle-aged magician one after another.
The middle-aged magician was so arrogant, he glanced contemptuously at the gang members among the black playing cards, and said coldly, "Are you not convinced?"
The knight guarding in front of the middle-aged magician instantly burst out a terrifying vindictiveness of a grand knight level, which shocked all the black poker gang members.
A great knight-level powerhouse, alone, can completely kill all the gang members in the black playing cards.
The one-eyed dragon Bender was sweating all over his face, nodded and said, "No, no! Well done, my lord!!"
The gang inside the black playing cards also lowered their heads, not daring to look at the middle-aged magician.
The middle-aged magician said indifferently: "If there is another incident where someone goes to the Magic Academy to test their qualifications and is intercepted, there is no need for your black playing cards to exist. When my lord is angry, you low-spirited things will turn into stinking water Corpse in the ditch. Got it?"
The one-eyed dragon Bender nodded and bowed quickly: "Yes! Yes!! I understand. No one will dare to disobey the order of Archmage Ian. Whoever dares to disobey, I will kill him first!!"
Gangsters like Black Poker seem to be powerful and powerful in the slums. But in the eyes of the real big shots, they are all like ants. As long as any great nobleman sends out a few knight-level powerhouses, they can wipe out all the gangsters like black playing cards. It's just that no one wants to do that.
Every year, this black playing card is secretly confessed to some great nobles and obtained the protection of those great nobles. But the black poker is also very clear, once those big shots really decide to move them, their backstage will definitely not compete with other big shots for them. (To be continued.)
