Chapter 42 (1/2)

”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?”
