40. Robes flying in the air
At the moment when my body lost balance, the gray box containing the magic apprentice robe was like a parachute bag in the sky, and it opened with a "bang" in the wind, and the gray paper box lid flew out a few meters away at once, and the silk magic robe with a dark gray luster inside was like a scattered fishing net, floating in the air.

The texture of the robe was so light and thin that it floated in the air, and it was like smoke and veil.
A golden-colored bronze Mage Apprentice badge, like a yellow-orange-orange gold coin, popped out of the box, and two seconds later, rolled down the granite steps next to the gazebo, "tinkling" non-stop. The voice was so crisp and pleasant, the front of the badge was engraved with the emblem of the Wizards' Guild, and the back was engraved with the magic broom that only magic apprentices were eligible to use, and the whole badge was almost a little smaller than an egg, because the onlookers thought that a gold coin had fallen out of the box, so they focused their attention.
When the hexagonal shape of the badge was revealed, the sheriff's face was like a purple eggplant beaten by frost, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his mouth was open like a bagel, he was completely stupid after a third of a second, and the two things flying out of the air very clearly explained the identity of the owner, that is, a magic apprentice who had just participated in the magic awakening ceremony, obtained the status of a noble baron, and received the magic apprentice robe.
"Ahh In particular, there is a very clear footprint on the lower abdomen of the soft leather inner armor he wears.
And the murderer was as if someone had immobilized him, and his face was as pale as paper with fright.
The sheriff was indeed stupid. I gently propped my hands on the ground, got up from the ground, looked down at the footprints on my lower abdomen, I stood up and silently walked up a few steps, picked up the magic badge on the steps, and gently wiped the dust from it, although there was not a trace of dust on the polished badge. But I still took the badge and walked slowly to the sheriff's side, pinching the badge with two fingers and rubbing it twice on the sheriff's black leather uniform, and someone next to me was already picking up my magic robe very eye-catchingly. Carefully packed in a box and held in both hands and delivered to my eyes.
"Your Excellency, you see, this must be a misunderstanding. I was so careless. When he got up to meet you again, he kicked you!" the sheriff's pale face was already sweating, and he struggled to put a smile on his face to explain his mistake.
I shook my head slightly, thinking that this was the charm of power! He turned his head with a hideous face and looked at the leader of the gangsters who had already fled into the distance after chasing him, who also understood that something was wrong.
"You broom star, do you know what kind of enemy you've provoked? How dare you provoke a nobleman!Stop Lao Tzu!" The sheriff drew a two-foot-long soft leather whip from his waist and strode after him.
If this time. I imagined myself as a hunter in the middle of the woods, and the sheriff was a hound at my feet, and he did everything in his power to chase after the fleeing thugs. And pulled a brass whistle from under his neck and blew it violently.
I raised my voice behind him and said, "Your Excellency, you must not do good deeds without leaving your name and chasing these thugs without returning, I have firmly remembered your appearance, and if I can't wait for you here, then I will personally go to the Security Department to thank you for your help." ”
The sheriff, who was trying to escape on this occasion, heard my words, and kicked his leg on the stone slab with his step, and almost fell to the ground, and ran three points more happily. When he passed by the river bridge, he leaned against the railing on the side of the bridge and shouted downward: "Whoever dares to fight here again, I will follow me back to the guard hall for tea! Your grandmother's, Romy, you just jumped into the river, I also know your skin, take your group of men, quickly roll up to Lao Tzu." ”
"What's wrong with you, isn't our big leader already talking to you, if you don't help us, forget it, why do you help those stray boys in turn?" Romy stood knee-deep in the river under the bridge, carrying an arm-thick iron rod in his hand, and asked the sheriff on the bridge with his face tilted and an incomprehensible look.
At this time, the sheriff was afraid that someone would stand in my way and say that he was in collusion with the thugs.
At this time, the thug under the bridge, Romy, said this, it has been revealed that the sheriff and those arrogant gangsters have colluded in private, and these things cannot be seen in any way, and the sheriff on the bridge heard that Romy dared to say this, his face turned red, and even became a little black and purple with anger, and he jumped up in anger and scolded loudly: "You kid, you dare to slander the administrative officials of the city of El, I will send you to the adjudication office, you will wait for the judgment of the arbitrators!"
There was a succession of whistles in the distance, which indicated that the sheriffs from other areas were quickly coming to this side, and only after the sheriffs encountered something that could not be solved alone, they would use this whistle, and after the whistle was blown, the sheriffs from other areas would rush over as soon as possible.
Romi sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and he realized that something was very wrong, the leader who was supposed to be watching the scene on the bridge had disappeared, and the sheriff who had been in collusion wanted to arrest his men without recognizing it, and everything was reversed.
Romi began to smell the slightest danger, so he threw the iron rod in his hand into the river. Then he jumped into the deep water like a carp, and when he plunged into it, there was only a shallow splash on the river and it disappeared.
Romy's men followed him closely, leaping into the water one by one, just a few seconds later. The thugs all disappeared, and it was only then that the sheriffs who had come to support from afar were late.
A sheriff ran panting. Seeing that the place had calmed down, there was no contention, only the shacks where the street children lived under the bridge seemed to have been raided, and they were in tatters. This is not a big deal, and the few weak thugs have not been killed, but they seem to have been repaired very miserably.
Sitting on the stone paved road of the river bridge, the butt gasped sharply and asked, "I said man." It's just a little thing, and it's worth your old man's whistle?"
"It's not a trivial matter, that Romy guy just dived and escaped. Brother, you're an old security guy here, you must have a way to help me find those boys, if I don't arrest those thugs today, I don't know if the guy who eats on his neck will be able to keep it. You must do me a favor!" the sheriff who kicked me hurriedly approached. As he walked, he said, and it seemed that the sheriff who rushed over at the first time was his immediate boss.
I patted the shallow shoe print on the belly of the soft armor, carried the gray cardboard box that had been picked up again, leaned against the stone railing by the bridge and looked down, by this time Taylor and Munksey had been beaten like pig-headed men, they were lying in the shallow water, the water around them was already red with blood, but I saw that their chests were still rising and falling. Even if he was lying in the water, he still knew that Nu was breathing with his face up, and it seemed that there was nothing serious. I was at ease, and I was thinking about going down from the docks and dragging Taylor and them out of the river.
Maybe after a few words, the sheriff already knew what was going on, so the sheriff who came over looked at me a few times meaningfully, and directly tore off the police badge on the collar of the sheriff who kicked me forward, and walked straight to my side, he obviously didn't have any fear of me, just stared at me twice, and already guessed that I was the child who had just successfully awakened the magic pool from the awakening ceremony today, he stood in front of me, and muttered for a while before saying to me: " Our security department will give you a satisfactory explanation of this matter, and I will arrest those thugs as soon as possible and obey your fate. ”
With that, he handed me the numbered badge.
I didn't take the badge and told him, "They live under the river bridge, they used to be my friends, and they will do the same." I don't want to see anyone come here to trouble them again, so please take care of me. I don't want to care too much about their fights and brawls, as long as they don't come to the house like this, who is in the mood to stand here bored and waste!"
After saying that, I glanced at the sheriff who had just kicked me, and I didn't want to let him go so easily, so as not to think that I was a good-natured person in the future, so I said, "I didn't want to smash his job, but just now he kicked me, so I kicked him back so that we don't owe each other!"
"If Your Excellency is so cheerful, well, as long as I am in the garrison for a day, I will protect these refugee shacks under this bridge!" The sheriff was also amazed at how easily I had brought this matter to light, and hurriedly beckoned his disparate subordinate over, and he looked intently at the chaotic street in the distance.
Other sheriffs had already begun to appear at the corner of the street, and other sheriffs were appearing one after another. At this moment, the sheriff who had kicked me came up to me in horror and gave me a cautious look. The old sheriff whispered a few words in his ear, and when he heard the old sheriff say what I thought, his heart fell back to its place.
The moment I kicked him from the bridge into the river, I could feel the sheriff's exclamation, and I was still very happy, even the way he fell into the water was very relaxed, and he had to swim downstream, so as to pursue the thugs who escaped by the waterway.
And the sheriffs who came over one after another were taken away by the old sheriff, and it was said that they went to other neighborhoods to hunt down those gangsters, I didn't care about that, I was more worried about the safety of Taylor and the others.
Someone had already lifted Taylor and them up from under the bridge, and several of them were not lightly aboard, and they were all wounded all over their bodies.
They were told that I was an awakened apprentice magician, and that the expressions on their faces were unnatural when they faced me, and they were even a little careful to pay attention to my emotions, and they regretted their respectful answers to my questions, but I would rather them laugh heartily and occasionally burst into foul language, which is much better than standing there now and answering them when I ask.
Even though they were seriously injured, they stood in front of me and endured the pain and answered my questions seriously.
I felt a little sad, a little lost, and I didn't think that the first thing that would happen after getting this robe was that I was about to lose two friends. I know that it is the fear of nobility in their hearts that makes them unable to keep up with me, they choose to retreat, I am getting farther and farther away from them, and the difference in our identities is like a moat, building a high wall on the friendship between us.
I sighed inwardly, and stood in front of Munxi, trying to reach out and touch the corners of his high, swollen mouth, but he was so frightened that he took a step back, and the hurt leg moved so much that he grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to make any sound.
His leg may have been hit by a blunt object, and he limped when he walked, but I didn't want his injuries to get worse, so I retracted my hand stupidly, smiled reluctantly, relieved my embarrassment, and asked, "Tairo, why don't we go to the temple and pray that the priests will use magic to heal your wounds a little?"
Taylor shook his head again and again, and said no.
I couldn't even finish the rest of the sentence before I had nothing to say. In the end, I could only say: "Then I'll go first, you guys can take care of your injuries!"
The moment I turned to leave, my keen hearing could even hear their breathing and heartbeat, and Munxie sat down on the ground with relief and let out a soft breath. I felt Taylor standing behind me and stopped, and at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to say thank you.
They are a group of outcasts with no status, a group of people who like to live freely, but for the sake of those ridiculous freedoms, they have to give up registering in the administrative hall of the city of Eyre, giving up the right to apply for permanent residence and becoming residents of the city of Eyre. They are a bunch of unidentified vagabonds, who do not have to serve in the military and do not have to dedicate their strength to the Empire. At the same time, they also lost the right to participate in the awakening ceremony.
I have the rights of the nobility, but I lost my two best friends, I don't know if I lost or earned. I was in a very low mood. I walked down the river bridge with my head down, and my shadow was stretched long under the reflection of the slanting sun in the west......
Looking at the two-story building next to the street, I could clearly see Fanny standing by the door, looking over at my street entrance. Her eyes couldn't catch me in the crowd, and she looked anxious.
My heart that cooled down a little bit was like being held in my arms by a pair of warm hands, which was a warm picture...... (To be continued.) )
