When Li Qing just came out of the alley, the two black-clothed men in front of the small building had not paid much attention to him. But seeing him walking straight towards Xiaolou, approaching step by step, the two of them immediately became vigilant.

"Stop!" One of the big men in black stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing?" Do you know what this place is? ”

Li Qing didn't stop, continued to move forward, and said as he walked: "You know, this is the headquarters of the Crocodile Claw Gang." ”

"Do you dare to trespass if you know it's the headquarters of the Crocodile Claw?" The other big man in black smiled gloomily and drew a dagger: "Are you impatient, boy?" ”

Li Qing smiled: "What, don't the Crocodile Claw Gang recruit newcomers?" ”

"Recruiting new people?" The black-clothed man who spoke before sneered: "You want to join the Crocodile Claw Gang? ”

"I don't want to." Li Qing said with a smile.

"Don't want to?" The big man in black was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Damn, you kid dare to tease us!" With that, he also took a dagger that was arm-long, and said with a cruel smile: "Give you some blood, so that you can sober up!" ”

After that, the big man in black did not hesitate, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed Li Qing in the lower abdomen with a knife.

Seeing that the black-clothed man was ruthless, Li Qing couldn't help but shake his head: "Do you kill people at every turn?" Sure enough, it's a damn gangster scum. ”

As soon as the words fell, he slapped out, hitting the big man's face. only heard a crisp sound on the ground, and the dagger of the black-clothed man had not yet touched Li Qing's clothes, and the whole person had been slapped by his slap and his feet were thrown off the ground and thrown out diagonally. During the flight, his body even spun like a spinning top, throwing a series of blood stains along the way.

By the time the big man landed, his neck had spun almost three hundred and sixty degrees, and he was already too dead to die.

The other big man in black was still waiting to see a good show, but he didn't expect that all of a sudden, Li Qing didn't have anything to do, but his companion died in a blink of an eye, and he was stunned and his face was colorless.

Li Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, stepped forward and slapped the big man's chest with a palm. Under the vigorous vomiting of his palm, the blood in the big man's mouth spurted wildly, and he was thrown backwards like a kite with a broken string, and crashed into the two false small building gates, collapsing the two gates directly.

In the smoke and dust and sawdust splashing, the originally noisy small building hall suddenly fell silent, and then there was an even greater uproar: "It's Little John!" Little John is dead! Who did it? ”

"Who is so bold as to kill our Crocodile Claw Gang?"

"This is a provocation! Dare to kill people in front of our Crocodile Claw headquarters, kill people and throw corpses in...... This is a blatant provocation! ”

"Revenge! Revenge must be taken! Whoever did it, we must kill his whole family! Let everyone know that those who dare to offend our Crocodile Claw Gang will never end well! ”

Just when the crowd in the hall was angry, Li Qingshi Shiran walked into the door and appeared in the sight of the gangsters in the hall.

"I killed people." Li Qing stood at the door, his hands behind his back, his gaze slowly swept over the more than twenty gangsters in the hall, and said with a smile: "I seem to have heard someone say revenge just now?" Hehe, it's good to take revenge, to be a man, you should have clear grievances. There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge to revenge. As he spoke, he hooked his finger at the gangsters: "Come on, take revenge on me!" ”

"Look for death!" One of the gangsters roared, grabbed a wine bottle and threw it at Li Qing—the two dozen gangsters were having dinner before Li Qing came in. The hall was full of wine and meat, and there were even a few dancing girls with barely two-foot cloths on their bodies, dancing among the gangsters.

So when Li Qing came uninvited and let out a taunt, the gangsters grabbed their tools and threw them at him.

For a while, wine bottles, small wooden basins, knives and forks, barbecue steel drills, half-eaten suckling pigs, hams, etc., messy items were thrown towards Li Qingfei like meteors in the sky. There was even a strong man with a height of two meters and a big waist who directly grabbed a dancing girl, lifted the dancing girl high above his head, and threw it at Li Qing with a roar.

Li Qingke didn't want to be thrown away by so many messy things, so he immediately stepped on the Xuanbu and moved between square inches. This footwork is taught by Chu Lingfeng, which is most suitable for advancing and retreating between square inches, not only has a very high dodge rate, but also the action is quite elegant, and it looks like it gives people a kind of "let you wind and rain, I will walk in my own leisure" temperament, in short, it is a very high footwork.

With Li Qing's current strength, not to mention the mess thrown by these weak gangsters, even if it is a rain of arrows shot by ordinary soldiers, he can dodge it leisurely like this. So the gangsters threw all kinds of things around, but they didn't even touch a single hair of Li Qing.

As for the dancing girl who screamed in shock, had no face, and was thrown with her hands and feet, she was caught by Li Qingyi and gently thrown out of the hall.

"Stop!" Seeing that the throwing attack had no effect on Li Qing, and so many messy things didn't even touch the corners of his clothes, the strong man who threw the dancing girl secretly felt bad and hurriedly stopped.

This person is the number one thug of the Crocodile Claw Gang, and he can be regarded as a bit of vision, although he can't understand Li Qing's footwork, but he also has a feeling of uncertainty.

"I'm afraid I've run into a tough hand this time! But why? The strong man muttered to himself, and after thinking about it, he couldn't remember when he had provoked a figure like Li Qing - Li Qing had black hair and black eyes, and his appearance was very distinct, which was completely different from the mainstream race of humans on the mainland. If he provoked such a star-like character, Hercules was confident that he would not forget it anyway, and it was impossible for the brothers in the gang not to remember it.

I have to mention here that although Li Qing's image is completely different from the mainstream race of human beings on the mainland, since he came to the Lofatan continent, whether it is in the hunter village or in this city, it has not aroused people's strange eyes, and no one has made some wonderful associations because of his physiognomy and characteristics.

The reason for this is that it is a multi-ethnic continent. In addition to humans, there are also many humanoid intelligent races such as elves, orcs, and dwarves.

A black-haired and black-eyed person, although it looks a little special, is nothing compared to orcs, elves and other alien races. So even though Li Qing's image is very different from the mainstream human race on the mainland, no one looks at him in a strange light.

At this time, the strong man began to ask Li Qing: "Who is Your Excellency?" Why bother us with the Crocodile Claw? We can't possibly provoke someone like you, right? ”

"You didn't mess with me, and there is no grudge or enmity between us." Li Qingxian confirmed Hercules' guess, and then said, "But someone has set up a task in the Adventurer's Guild and hired adventurers to eradicate your Crocodile Claw Gang. And I, who happened to be a new adventurer, took on this task. So you can only blame your bad luck. ”

"Adventurers?" Hercules gritted his teeth and scolded: "You have such strength, where can you not mix a mouthful of food?" It's crazy to be an adventurer! ”

scolded in his heart, but he said: "Although Your Excellency is good, he is just one person. We have more than 70 members of the Crocodile Claw Gang. Don't look at the fact that there are only about twenty people here, but soon forty or fifty people will come to reinforce them. Your Excellency alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to eradicate our Crocodile Claw Gang! ”

Li Qing looked at the strong man with a smile: "I didn't expect you to not only have brute strength, but also be able to speak." With such talent, why do you want to be in the gang? ”

"It's none of your Excellency's business, is it?" The strong man was nervous in his heart, but he made a calm appearance on his face, stared at Li Qing and said, "If Your Excellency retreats now, this gang is willing to give Your Excellency fifty gold coins and make a friend." But if you have to go against us...... Under the siege of more than 70 people in this gang, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Li Qing was a little amused and said, "Only more than seventy people dare to threaten me? Or a rabble of gangsters...... I don't care about seventy regular soldiers, you are really ignorant and fearless. ”

When he said this, he only heard the noise of people in the rear, and when he looked back, he saw dozens of people coming from all directions, and soon blocked Li Qing's back tightly.

But the rest of the Crocodile Claw Gang received the news and came to reinforce it.

In this regard, Li Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone is all together, right?" It's just a catch, and it's not in vain that I'm talking so much nonsense to you! ”

Li Qing kills people and never talks nonsense. The reason why I said so much this time is because after coming in, I found that the number of people was wrong, and there were only more than 20 people. In order to wipe out the Crocodile Claw Gang, Li Qing patiently accompanied the strong man to say so much, the purpose was to wait for the rest of the Crocodile Claw Gang to come over.

Now that most of the people have arrived, even if there are still ten or eight crocodile claw gangs who can't arrive in time, Li Qing doesn't have the time to wait any longer. He immediately took a big stride towards the strong man in the hall.

And as Li Qing moved forward and let go of the door, the crocodile claw gang from behind also poured into the gate of the small building.

"It's so arrogant!" Seeing that Li Qing didn't take the more than 70 people of the Crocodile Claw Gang in his eyes, the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his big hand and shouted: "Chop him to pieces for me!" ”

At the sound of an order, the crocodile claw gang in front and back immediately swarmed up. Dozens of short weapons such as axes, daggers, and machetes rushed to kill Li Qing.

Li Qing laughed, stomped his right foot on the ground, and stomped out a loud bang. With a loud bang, the entire small building shook violently as if it had been hit by an earthquake, and the ground shook violently for a while. Under the huge earthquake, many of the Crocodile Claw Gang members who rushed towards Li Qing suddenly stumbled, and some even lost their footing and fell to the ground.

Then Li Qing entered the flock like a tiger, and threw himself into the chaotic crowd with a long smile, punching and kicking, knee-to-elbow strikes, and with a slight movement, it was a huge force like a mountain and a sea, and there was no enemy under him.

For a while, the sound of broken bones and bones, screams and wails were endless. No matter which crocodile claw gang is touched, anyone who touches it will either fall and throw it and shatter the bones on the wall, or spray blood wildly and collapse to the ground like bones.

Even the strong man who could throw people out as a throwing weapon couldn't go through a round in Li Qing's hands, and with just one punch, his sternum was shattered, and he coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the Crocodile Claw Gang was about to be swept away by Li Qing's wind, a ghostly figure suddenly fell from the ceiling and fell silently behind Li Qing, and then saw a flash of blue light, and a blue sharp dagger stabbed at the back of Li Qing's neck.

"I'm waiting for you!" Li Qing seemed to have eyes on his back, and a scorpion in his right leg swung his tail and kicked out backwards. With a loud thud, the ghostly figure flew upside down, slamming into the wall and becoming a blur of flesh and blood.

Obviously, that ghostly figure is the big crocodile claw-like leader. This person is indeed good at stealth, sneak attack and assassination. If it is an ordinary low-level military position, and he is attacked from behind, I am afraid that he will not even know how to die.

But how keen is Li Qing's perception? When the big leader of the Crocodile Claw Gang was sneaking on the ceiling, Li Qing had already sensed his existence. It's ridiculous that the big leader of the Crocodile Claw Gang thought that he was lurking seamlessly, but he didn't know that in Li Qing's perception, the big leader of the Crocodile Claw Gang hanging upside down on the ceiling like a spider was as eye-catching as a 100-watt bulb.

Therefore, the attack that the big leader of the Crocodile Claw Gang was determined to win fell short without any suspense. Not only did he fail to succeed in the backstab, but he was killed by Li Qing with a kick, and he didn't blink to death.

After killing the leader of the Crocodile Claw Gang, the remaining dozen or so Crocodile Claw Gang members immediately dispersed. In fact, not long after the war began, most of the Crocodile Claw Gang wanted to run away, but Li Qing didn't even give them a chance to escape. It was only now that he killed the big leader of the Crocodile Claw Gang and beat most of the gang backbone to death, that Li Qing collected his killing intent and allowed the remaining dozen or so people to escape.

After this battle, there is no possibility for the Crocodile Claw Gang to rise again, and the task of eradicating the Crocodile Claw Gang is completed. Next, it's time to search for the books requested by your employer.

Li Qing searched around in the small building.

The old lair of the Crocodile Claw Gang, as he expected, was set up many traps by the dead boss. Those traps can be regarded as insidious and vicious to ordinary people. Even some low-level military positions, if they don't know how to eliminate traps and break in rashly, they are afraid that they will also fall into the trap and die for life.

But for Li Qing, these traps are not worth mentioning. Although he is not good at eliminating traps, and it is difficult for his powerful perception to detect traps that do not have the breath of living creatures, he can break them with his strength, no matter how hidden and insidious the trap is.

With his current strength, unless it was a trap laid by a legendary assassin, ordinary traps would not be able to help him at all.

After searching upstairs and downstairs for a while, blasting through more than a dozen traps all the way, Li Qing finally found a secret room.

Forcibly breaking through the door of the iron-cast secret room, Li Qing strode in, and after a while, he walked out with the harvest.

He found three pamphlets in the secret room, and because he was illiterate, and he did not know which one was the account book that his employer wanted, he prepared to take them back with him and give them to the adventurers' guild to identify for themselves.

As for whether there is any greasy in it, Li Qing is too lazy to study it in detail. He's not from this world, so there's no need to meddle too much.

In addition to the three pamphlets, Li Qing also found more than 400 gold coins in the secret room and made a small windfall.

In fact, there are a lot of things in the secret room, as well as many weapons and equipment such as daggers, chain mail, and crossbows, but they are all ordinary whiteboard suits, and Li Qing can't look down on them.

There were also bottles and jars filled with liquid medicine of unknown function. Li Qing didn't know anything about pharmacy, but he could also see that most of them were poisonous and drug-inducing things, so he smashed them all of them, regardless of whether they were good or bad.

After doing this, Li Qing left the headquarters of the Crocodile Claw Gang with the harvest and went back to the hotel to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Qing came to the adventurer's union to hand in the task and got the identity certificate as he wished.

Next, he pinned the identity plate issued by the adventurer's union to his chest and couldn't wait to go to the public library.

This time, the janitor didn't embarrass him anymore and let him into the library.

But it didn't take long for Li Qing to come out dejected.

"Is there any mistake, there are no textbooks for reading pictures and literacy......" Standing outside the library door, Li Qing looked at the sky speechlessly: "Without textbooks, you can't learn to read and write, you can't recognize words, and it's useless to enter the library, and you can't understand any materials...... Sister, this time, didn't I work in vain last night? ”

When he was depressed, Li Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to himself: "I can't learn by myself, I can ask others to teach me!" ”

Since there was no textbook that allowed him to learn to read and write on his own, he had to hire a tutor to teach him.

Hiring a tutor is also not a simple matter, after all, the world is a minority of literate people, and most people are illiterate. And those who can read and write are generally people with status or net worth, who will come to give him an adventurer as a tutor?

So Li Qing could only go to the Adventurers' Union to inquire about how to find a tutor.

"You want to find a governess?" The freckled girl who received Li Qing yesterday looked at Li Qing with a smile and said, "Want to be literate?" ”

"Of course, knowledge changes fate." Li Qing said with a smile: "The experience of registering adventurers yesterday has made me understand a lot of truths. You must learn to read and write, otherwise you don't know how much you will suffer and how many you will be fooled in the future. ”

"You're a self-motivated person." The freckled girl grinned and said, "But it's a pity that there are no tutors in the union. The few scholars I know will only be tutors for the children of noble families, and they will not accept adventurers like you. ”

"But I have the money." Li Qing emphasized: "A lot of money. ”

"I know you have money. You've eradicated the Crocodile Paws! The freckled girl shrugged: "But it's useless to have money." Who called you not a noble child? ”

Li Qingdao: "Except for the nobles, can't the commoners be able to read and write?" ”

"Civilians also have the opportunity to read and write." The freckled girl said: "But it is difficult for commoners to hire a tutor, unless your family is a big businessman and has a deep relationship with the nobles, maybe you can invite a scholar to be a tutor." Otherwise, you'll have to go to a church school! ”

"Church school?" Li Qingdao: "Which church's school?" Can I go in and study? ”

"Which church school you want to go to depends on which god you believe in." The freckled girl said, "I don't know what other places are like, but in our city, there are two church schools, namely the church school of Mother Earth God and the church school of God of Justice. However, in principle, these two church schools only admit children of believers. Is the god you believe in Mother Earth or the god of justice? ”

"......" Li Qing shook his head silently, and said unwillingly: "You just said that in principle, only the children of believers' families are enrolled. And as far as I know, once the principle is said, the implication is that the principle can be broken as well......"

"Yes, it can be broken." The freckled girl said: "As long as you donate money to the church, you can go to the church school even if you are not a believer." ”

"Donating money?" Li Qing smiled: "As long as money can solve the problem, then it is not a problem." In other words, how much do these two church schools have to donate in order to be exceptionally enrolled? ”

The freckled girl said, "Both church schools have to donate a hundred gold coins to be able to enroll. ”

"A hundred gold coins? So expensive? ”

"Of course. Knowledge is power! ”

In the continent of Lofatan, because of the existence of supernatural powers, the aristocracy could not monopolize knowledge like the West in the Middle Ages on Earth. But for technical reasons, books are quite expensive. And because a lot of knowledge in this world is related to power, the ruling class pays great attention to controlling the spread of knowledge, and sets a fairly high threshold for the spread of knowledge.

Therefore, in addition to the aristocracy, the only people who can master knowledge, especially the knowledge related to power, are the churches of the gods and the high magicians.

It's not easy to learn knowledge. It's even more difficult to learn the knowledge that can master power.

The only thing that the gods need from mortals is faith. The Church of the Gods is willing to provide free education to its devout believers. However, the education provided by the church schools is mainly to impart religious knowledge, so as to cultivate pious believers from an early age, and from them can also discover the seedlings of pastors.

Rather than the believer who wants to go to school, he has to pay a lot of money - this is obviously to make the believer see the huge gap between believers and non-believers, so that the believer can be grateful. At the same time, it can also make more people become believers in their own gods through guò.

Want to learn for free? Come, believe in Our Lord.

Want a bright future for your children? Come, believe in the Lord, and your child may become a priest in the future!

In this way, the churches of the gods who had the strength to run church schools gradually expanded their beliefs and spread the influence of their gods to a wider range of people.

Of course, Li Qing would not believe in a certain god. He is the black knight who destroys the Miè Demon King, and he is the nightmare knight of the future. And the Nightmare Knight, that's a being who can be on an equal footing with the true gods. Others come to believe in him, but where can he believe in other gods?

So if Li Qing wants to go to a church school to learn knowledge, he can only pay for it.

Thankfully, he had sent a sum of money last night, and a hundred gold coins was a lot, but it was only a quarter of what he had received from the Crocodile Claw. It's worth it to exchange this money for the ability to read and write.

So the next morning, Li Qing was already sitting in the classroom of the Mother Earth God Church School and began his study career. Many truths. You must learn to read and write, otherwise you don't know how much you will suffer and how many you will be fooled in the future. ”

"You're a self-motivated person." The freckled girl grinned and said, "But it's a pity that there are no tutors in the union. The few scholars I know will only be tutors for the children of noble families, and they will not accept adventurers like you. ”

"But I have the money." Li Qing emphasized: "A lot of money. ”

"I know you have money. You've eradicated the Crocodile Paws! The freckled girl shrugged: "But it's useless to have money." Who called you not a noble child? ”
