Seeing that the pedestrians around him were thinning, Lines knew that the thing called the sun outside had now fallen under the mountains, and the dragon king Thor and its four stars had taken over the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Right now...... It's time to get down to business.

Turning over a tile in the corner, there were a few pieces of jewelry that looked more exquisite, and this is the stolen goods that Rains had accumulated for a year.

As long as you sell these things in the tavern two blocks away, you can exchange the rune stones to survive the winter.

At just 12 years old, Lines has learned the full means of selling stolen goods in Noxus, not just jewelry, weapons, poisons, and even secret information, Lines can sell them to anyone at a suitable price.

Looking closely in the alley, there was no one else, there were many ruffians who couldn't survive at this time would come to this kind of alley to rob these poor orphans of their winter belongings, Raines knew that many orphans were robbed by these bastards and became corpses found in the alley the following spring.

Noxus in winter was even more deserted than usual, like a plagued city, with only a few scavengers on the empty streets, and people locked themselves in their homes, counting the surplus food at home, silently counting the days.

At the same time, they will be extra vigilant against robbery or theft by desperate people.

This environment gives Lines more peace of mind because he doesn't have to worry about being attacked.

Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Very close, less than a meter in yourself!

Lines turned his head suddenly, his right hand had been copied into his arms, and inside was a small fruit knife, which was Raines' only weapon of self-defense.

When I looked closely, I was leaning on a man with a wide-brimmed hat and a strange trench coat by the street lamp.

He covered his eyes with his wide-brimmed hat, and a smile kept hanging on the corner of his mouth, and the trench coat on his body looked very valuable and very elegant, but it was a pity that on the side of the trench coat, there was a sharp cut open.

The most striking thing is that he keeps flipping this playing card in his hand, and the amazing thing is that although he only has one card in his hand, in the play between his fingers, it shows three different colors: blue, red and yellow, which looks like a magician performing in a bar.

Seeing that he turned around, the man turned his head and stared at Lines, still with a smile on his lips, but the eyes that shot from under the brim of his hat were like swords.

"Hehehe...... Don't be nervous, kid, I don't mean anything. ”

The man straightened up and spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.

"I'm just a gambler who just came home from the tavern, you can call me...... Trist. ”

With that, he lifted his hat upward, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through the hearts of others.

"So...... Is there anything this adult is looking for me?"

Lines didn't let his guard down, he knew that there were only two possibilities for a person to appear in front of you without a weapon on Noxus.

One, he's a magician, and he can wipe people out with the touch of a finger.

Another possibility is that the person in front of you is a madman.

The madmen of Noxus were almost dead, and Lines didn't think the man in front of him was Trist.

"Hey, hey, little brother, I've already said it, I have no ill intentions, I just want to make a deal with you......"

With that, he looked at the package in Lines' arms.

"Your hand...... There must be something unorthodox that is in a hurry to change money. ”

Speaking of which, Lines became even more vigilant.

The sale of stolen goods is not as simple as handing over money and delivering goods in the ordinary world, at least a guy like Trist who met Lines for the first time can never be trusted.

"What are you talking about, sir, what I have in my arms is the jewelry that my master asked me to go to the pawnshop to change money, not ......"

Before Lines could finish speaking, a figure leaped from the rooftop, the dagger in his hand aimed at Trist's neck.

It all happened in a flash of light, and Lines didn't even have time to say anything.

Just when Lines thought he was dead, Trist's finger moved, and a yellow playing card came out of his hand and flew towards the assassin above him.

In an instant, the assassin who had just been descending at a rapid speed stopped falling, and the whole person was frozen in mid-air like a freeze frame of a photo.

The tip of the knife was less than half a centimeter from Trist's hat.

"It's ...... like this"

Trist looked up at the Assassin overhead, and threw out another poker, which was as sharp as a blade, and passed through the neck of the Assassin frozen in mid-air.

No blood flowed out, and the assassin's expression was still the same, his eyes shining fiercely, like a wax figure.

"Alright, after dealing with this person in the way, it's time to talk about the 'business' between us. ”

Trist had another poker flying up and down in his hand, and Lines didn't even look where it came from, but he knew that this seemingly small poker card wasn't just for gambling.

"Take this thing obediently, it's all yours. ”

Out of nowhere, Trist found a rapier and tossed a purse to Lines.

It was a thin sword that looked quaint, just like the ornaments that those nobles pinned to their waists, the most eye-catching thing was the pattern on the hilt, which looked like a closed eye, and looked lifelike as if it could be opened at any time, which made people shudder, and the money bag on the ground was slightly open, and under the illumination of the street lamp, the magic light unique to high-level runes shone out, making people dare not look directly for a while.

Such a large sum of money is enough for Lines to buy off officers, find a less dangerous position to survive military service, and then buy a villa that is not big or small, and spend the rest of his life in peace.

Lines was not carried away by the money, he had seen a lot of huge sums of money, gang-to-gang deals, drug trafficking from Zaun, and bribes between officials.

But Lines also knows that not everyone can afford such a huge amount of money.

The one in front of you is definitely not a good thing, and it may lead to death for yourself.

He looked warily at Trist, who had an unpredictable smile on his face all the time.

"Don't you understand, as long as you hold this sword, you don't have to pay any price, you can get that large sum of money on the ground, or ......"

The playing card in Trist's hand stopped flipping and was caught between two fingers, with a faint blue floating on it.

"Wouldn't you like to make this 'deal' with me. ”

Grunt......

Lines swallowed.

A feeling that I had never felt before rose in my heart.

Can't move!

If you mess around, you'll be killed.

The air around him was like cement, sealing his limbs tightly, and he couldn't move, and his throat was obviously not cut, but there was a burning pain.

The man in front of him still had a smile on his face, but in Lanes's eyes, he was like a snake.

That's right, like a poisonous snake staring at a frog, spitting out letters, exuding undisguised malice.

"I ...... I got ......."

It took all his strength to squeeze a few syllables out of his throat, and at this moment, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared, as if everything just now was his hallucination.

Call...... Call...... Call......

The cold winter air was mixed with the stench of the sewer voodoo potion, which I usually smelled and vomited.

But now, Lines had never felt like breathing was such a beautiful thing.

Bang Bang Bang ...... With a sound of clapping hands, Trist handed the rapier to Lines.

"Very good, it seems that this little brother is very business-minded and has really made a big deal. ”

The moment he took the hilt of his sword tremblingly, he distinctly heard Trist whisper.

“…… A successful deal to redeem one's own life. ”

Ahh

A heart-rending scream came, and the assassin who had just stopped in mid-air suddenly fell, clutching his bloody neck and screaming loudly.

But then, the screams stopped.

"I was careless, I thought I cut off my trachea. ”

Shaking his head, Trist looked at the corpse of the assassin next to him and shook his head.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lines's body.

If I just refused, I might have been lying on the snow with that guy.

"I think you're okay, but unfortunately, I don't have much time to ......"

Trist turned and beckoned to Lines, looking like he was leaving.

"Finally, I would like to give you a word...... Rest assured, your life is hard. It's not going to die easily. ”
