Chapter 131 (1/2)
The riot caused by cheese quickly attracted the patrolling soldiers of the royal city. After all, this street is a relatively busy area in the royal city. It is impossible to ignore such vicious incidents as injuries and falls. And in those who heard the news came to the soldiers are still wondering why the injured people are these local famous hooligans, cheese has quietly disappeared in the crowd. And the one who disappeared with the mage was the kid who wanted to steal the cheese purse.
”Come on, what's your name?” This is the back lane of a restaurant, and no one usually walks into this smelly place, except that the kitchen staff will transport food ingredients into the restaurant in the morning and dump the accumulated garbage of the day into the carriage at night. Cheese took the child here. He knew that such a pickpocket must be proficient in all the changes in the street. So the mage felt that instead of asking for information through a few words, he might as well ask him directly.
The child is clearly still in shock. He didn't really understand how cheese did what he had just done, and in this small world of children, he could only find a way to understand these things.
”You You can do magic! Don't eat my brain! Let me go! Help! There's a wizard here Exclaimed the child in horror, and at the same time he was waving his limbs like a drowning mouse. At the same time, his call for help was not able to reach out of the alley because of the small arrangement of cheese. And in other words, most of the voices from this dark alley, even if they are actually heard, will choose to ignore them.
”Hey, listen boy, be quiet!” The child's resistance is so strong that cheese, who is still in a weak state, can't suppress it. After all, the mage is not good at physical quality. However, although he wanted to reduce the frequency of casting as much as possible to prevent being discovered, the opponent's resistance was so fierce that the mage had to raise his left hand in silence at the child. With the movement of cheese, the invisible force pressed the child against the wall, probably for the sake of preserving the strength. Although this force made the child unable to leave the wall, it did not force his limbs down.
Under the sudden force of terror, the child finally stopped struggling. Maybe it was because he finally realized the gap between himself and the mage, or maybe it was just because he simply had no strength. Cheese noticed that although the clothes on the child's body were not thin, they were basically made of all kinds of clothes that didn't fit the body, and his limbs, which stretched out his clothes, were very slim, and even the blood vessels on his arm could be clearly seen. If it wasn't for the muscles of survival, cheese would even think that the child was some kind of skeleton undead in human skin.
”Well, now we can have a good talk.” Cheese went up to the child and looked down at the thief who was fixed on the wall and could not resist. He opened his right hand and lay a silver coin in the palm of the mage's palm. The special luster of precious metal attracted the child's attention in an instant. ”Listen, kid, I'll ask you and tell me what I want to know. This silver coin is yours. Do you understand? ”
The child looked at the silver coin in the master's hand and swallowed his saliva. He nodded. In this child's opinion, even if cheese is a cannibal devil, the money in his hand can make him live, especially when he has messed up so many things today.
Seeing the child nodding his head, cheese's face showed a faint smile. He did not hate this little guy who tried to steal him. People in this world can only choose those means which are despised by others for their own survival. But it's not their fault, it's that they don't have a chance to choose.
”Well, listen up, I ask you, is there anything important happening in the city of king recently?” Asked the cheese.
The child who was pressed on the wall frowned when he heard the question. His expression told the mage that he was trying to think about those things that could be classified as ”major events”. Then cheese realized that his own problems were too vague for the child, and the other party's attention angle was different from that of himself. He could not get the answer he wanted by asking in such a general way Case. So the mage changed his problem.
”What is the most discussed thing in the king's city recently?” Compared with the question just now, cheese believes that this one will be easier to answer. Thieves like this must always be the role of watching and listening to all directions. Even if they are not interested, they will also pay attention to the information in people's mouth.
”Plague! A plague that will turn man into a monster Sure enough, this time the child did not want to answer. Looking at the expression on his face, he was obviously confident in his answer.
