At night, a figure was clinging to the wall like a gecko, faintly staring at Ryan on the bed through the window. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the moonlight, a cold and childish face was revealed. I saw him skillfully use the dagger to pull open the window bolt, and jump into the room softly, he was as silent as a shadow, hiding in the corner and looking around.

Glancing at the sleeping Ryan, he cautiously came to Ryan's bedside, groped back and forth on Ryan with an expressionless face, and finally showed a smile on his face when he touched the gold coin on Ryan's waist. Two fingers of his right hand stretched out to grip the bag, and with a quick pull, a bag of gold coins appeared in his hand.

The second time he reached out, the unexpected happened.

"Hiss" twice, a blue-purple lightning suddenly appeared in front of him, so close at a distance, he had no way to dodge under the surprise, so he had to raise his left hand to resist.

"Wow"

The electricity instantly struck his left hand, stinging, and paralysis spread throughout his body, making a crackling sound. The muscles tightened, and they bounced into the corner.

Ryan was awakened at once, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a young man about his age, with his head down, covering his left hand, curled up in the corner, his body twitching slightly, emitting a faint green smoke. Knut curled his body and stared at the boy fiercely.

"Who are you?" Ryan asked vigilantly, if it wasn't for Knut attacking him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have discovered his existence.

He often deals with demonic beasts, and he is very alert even when he sleeps, but now he is touched in the room without noticing, if he is hostile to himself, Ryan may be a corpse now. And he was about the same age as Ryan, how could this not surprise him.

The boy raised his head, looked at Ryan with indifferent eyes, and did not answer.

At this time, Ryan saw his appearance clearly, he had short silver hair, sharp eyes like an eagle, a high nose bridge, delicate facial features, fair skin, and was very handsome.

Ryan looked into his eyes, and from his dark, sharp eyes, Ryan did not find fear, fear, nervousness, but indifference, as if the two were just ordinary encounters on the road, not at all like being discovered as a thief.

"You're a thief?" Looking at the gold coins scattered all over the place, Ryan immediately revealed his identity.

The young man said lightly, "Yes, you group of people are high above and have never looked at us squarely. In your eyes, we're just garbage, and if you want to kill me, come and kill me. ”

Ryan was a little amused, "Since you're only here for money, then I don't have anything to kill you." At the same time, I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately it was not the people who forced Chami away.

"Don't be pretty, you're from that family?" The boy said coldly, not glancing at Knut.

"Family? I'm not from any family, I'm just a mercenary. Ryan knew that the other party might have misunderstood.

"Hmph, don't pretend, think I don't know, mercenaries will spend so much money?" The boy looked disdainful. "Which family did you sneak out of, and you even have a very powerful pet by your side, it seems that the background is not small."

"Knut isn't my pet, it's my companion, and you're mistaken, I'm not from a big rich and powerful family, I'm just an ordinary mercenary." As he spoke, Ryan took out his mercenary card and shook it in his hand.

After the young man saw Ryan's identity card, he believed it a little, and his face slowed down a little, but he still stared at Ryan directly.

Ryan was a little helpless, "I said can you stop looking at me like that?" It's clear that you can't steal my things, but you were caught by Konut, and you made it look like I owe you money. ”

"Since you're here for the money and don't want to be bad for me, and we don't have any deep hatred between us, why don't we sit down and have a good chat."

"There's nothing to talk about, just use any tricks." The teenager was unmoved.

"Well, let's give you these gold coins, how about we make friends." Ryan gestured to the gold coins scattered on the ground.

"I don't need your handout." The boy said with a look of disgust. "Put away your merciful compassion, your face disgusts me."

"It's not a handout, these coins are important until I get a job." Ryan didn't care, but picked up the gold coins on the ground one by one. Knut, on the other hand, watched the boy warily, as if he was afraid of his sudden attack.

Putting the last gold coin in the bag, Ryan said lightly, "Since you don't want it, forget it, but can I ask you a question?" ”

Before the boy could speak, Ryan asked, "Why did you choose this path?" ”

The boy looked at Ryan with some strange eyes, he had not been caught stealing before, and every time he was either beaten or sent to the city prison, but none of them asked this strange question like Ryan.

"Are you willing to be a thief, then?" The boy didn't answer, but asked indifferently.

"No, I have my ideals, I want to be a free mercenary, the king of adventure, and leave my footprints in every corner of this continent." Ryan said with a look of longing. "I also want to find a partner who can fight side by side with me, experience life and death together, and venture to the end of the world together."

Then Ryan looked at the boy with a sincere face, "Would you like to be my partner?" I can tell you don't like your life now, or you wouldn't be asking me that. If you want, we can walk together and create our own future with our hands. ”

The boy was stunned, he didn't expect Ryan to say such a thing. Due to some experiences in his childhood, he was very wary of anyone. Before, he thought that Ryan's various actions were just acting to show him, but when Ryan sent him an invitation, Ryan's eyes were so clear and immaculate, he could feel the sincerity of Ryan's heart, and his emotional fluctuations were not fake.

He was a little dazed, Ryan was right, he didn't like the life he was in now, he didn't like the feeling of being alone. But every time he remembered the past, his heart began to grow cold, and the feeling of being betrayed by the person he loved the most was enough to make people lose their minds and become crazy.

Looking into Ryan's eyes, the boy faltered a little, he could see that Ryan was looking forward to this, and he also wanted to change his current life. Still, he wanted to test Ryan.

"Why should I believe you."

"This ......" Ryan really couldn't answer, he thought that the other party was young and old, he must be a person with a story, carrying a heavy past, otherwise at his age, how could his personality be distorted like this, and live by stealing. On the other hand, I was also interested in his skills, so I sent him an invitation.

"Then how can you trust me?" Ryan didn't want to miss this opportunity to increase his partner, and after talking to the boy a few times, he found that the boy's nature was not bad, otherwise, he could have killed himself before and then slowly searched for his belongings. And after being discovered by himself, in a vulnerable situation, his dissatisfaction with himself is directly expressed on his face, such a person is much stronger than those who hide a knife in their smile. Ryan didn't want to have to guard against the knife behind him when facing a strong enemy.

"Easy, as long as you can win and defeat me," the boy pointed to Konute, "that snake is not allowed to strike." ”

"That's it?" Ryan was a little puzzled.

"Yes, if you can win me, it means that my skills are not as good as others, and I am naturally willing to follow you. But what if you lose? The boy explained and made his own demands at the same time.

"This is easy to do, if I lose, I will follow you and recognize you as the boss." A sly glint flashed in Ryan's eyes.

"Okay." The boy agreed, but he felt strange, as if something was wrong. But now is not the time to be entangled, I saw that the sleeve of his right hand shook, and an extra dagger immediately appeared in his hand, and he looked at Ryan, "Don't you use weapons?" ”

Ryan shook his head, "My weapon is broken. ”

The boy frowned. Before he could speak, Ryan continued, "You've been injured by Knut's lightning before, and we're even. Do it. ”

With that, Ryan began to chant the incantation softly, and a turquoise wind blade attached to his right hand.

The young man was slightly surprised when he saw this scene, "He is a magician. But something even more surprising happened, and Ryan took the initiative to rush towards him.

A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, it was really interesting, the magician actually took the initiative to get close.

Ryan took a big step forward, and the palm knife with the wind blade slashed straight at the boy's chest. The young man felt the strong power of the wind blade, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward, and the dagger in his hand was slashed towards Ryan's palm. Although the Wind Blade is extremely powerful in close-quarters combat, the hands are made of flesh after all, not metal.

Looking at the dagger that was sharpened towards his hand, Ryan smiled helplessly, this is the most effective way to restrain himself now. Ryan certainly can't fight with his hands and a sharp dagger. So he deflected his wrist and slid towards the boy's left arm.

At the same time, the boy's bottom-up dagger staggered with Ryan's palm and slashed at the base of Ryan's right arm.

Just as the dagger cut through Ryan's clothes, there were two "click" bones misaligned sound from Ryan's right arm, and the boy suddenly felt that his dagger was empty, and the dagger suddenly came out of Ryan's armpit. At this time, Ryan's palm also reached the boy's left arm, and because of the use of Luo Shan, he was distracted to control his body, and Ryan's movements were half a beat slower than the boy's.

The young man's face suddenly became solemn when he saw Ryan dodge his blow so magically.

I saw him lean sideways, dodging Ryan's hand knife, and then using the inertia of wielding the dagger in his right hand to lean back, bend his legs, and push his knees against Ryan's chin.

Of course Ryan wouldn't let him get his wish, his neck "clicked", and he bent back, forming a ninety-degree angle with his body, if ordinary people would have broken his neck, but Ryan wouldn't, his body was as soft as a snake.

Ryan, who dodged the blow, immediately jumped back a step, and his neck returned to its original state with a "click", although Ryan can make this difficult move, but if it is maintained for a long time, it is still very physically demanding.

After the boy failed to hit Ryan with his knees, he used the huge power of the knee blow to drive his body to turn upward, support the ground with both hands, flip back, and stand up again. "How did you do it".

Ryan touched his nose and smiled, "I'll tell you if I win." ”
