Chapter 24: The Dregs

It's been a day and a night, and although the difference between the activity of the magic and yesterday is not very obvious, it is enough to cause a lot of changes.

A riot of magic will increase the desires in people's hearts.

This led to two or three robberies in a short period of time.

If it weren't for his amazing hearing and his proximity, a few lives would have dissipated into this world.

As for the other evils that Eren didn't know, but still happened in Greystone, I don't know how many.

Graystone, which is relatively peaceful on the surface, will sooner or later become chaotic as more and more outsiders pour in and the magic continues to riot.

According to Old Oak's estimates, in two more days, the surrounding magic activity will reach its highest point.

At that time, I don't know how many people will not be able to control the desires in their hearts and will degenerate into monsters.

At that time, I am afraid that Graystone Town will become a hell on earth......

If it hadn't been for the fact that Frante had told him that he would be hunted down by the magicians of Afalong at such a time, he would have fled long ago.

But the Magical Riot was also good for a magician like him, who found that his body was more agile and a little stronger.

After sacrificing several looters, the magic in his right arm was enhanced.

Eren felt as if he had hit a bottleneck, as long as he sacrificed another powerful monster, he should be able to enter the realm of a two-star magician like Mia.

After finishing the afternoon patrol, Alan walked towards the temporary office.

The guards were too limited to cover every location, so he and Mia had to patrol the town every day until reinforcements arrived, maintaining law and order and clearing out monsters.

Just as Alan was about to get to the office, he passed by an old woman who was begging.

There were many people begging in the town, and Alan barely walked a few steps to meet one, but this old woman alone gave him a strange feeling.

Looking at the old woman with her eyes closed and leaning against the city wall, Alan walked over.

He had only nine silver coins on him, and no smaller copper coins.

Just think of it as a good relationship, anyway, the magician will not be short of money to spend.

After thinking about it, Alan took out a silver coin and put it in front of the old woman.

Hearing the sound, the old woman opened her eyes and saw the silver coin that Alan had put down.

"Young man, that's too much, isn't it?"

"It's okay, you just have to take it. ”

Leaving this sentence behind, Alan turned and left.

Looking at the back of Allen's departure, the old woman said nothing, and silently put away the silver coin.

In such a place, if the coin were to be seen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hiding the silver coin in the pocket of her clothes, the old woman stood up and began to run in one direction.

"Hey, old woman, what are you doing?!"

When the two guards who were patrolling saw the old woman running, they thought it was very suspicious and hurriedly shouted.

No way!

Definitely can't be caught by them!

Once they catch it, if the silver coin is found......

There's nothing left!

Hearing the words of the guard not far away, the old woman's heart was full of anxiety, and she did not look back, but continued to run.

"Hey, this damn old woman!"

Seeing that the old woman not only did not look back, but ran faster, the two guards also pulled out their legs and began to chase after them.

Five minutes later, the two guards stopped, hunched over, panting.

"This damn old woman is running too fast!"

"Forget it, where do you see where she runs?"

The guard couldn't help but smile as he looked in the direction the old woman was running.

"It turned out to be a cheap slum slut, then it's fine, I really don't know how this cheap thing came out. ”

"yes, it's weird, but it doesn't matter, catching this kind of slut is dirty on our hands. ”

The two guards rested, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and turned back toward the neighborhood they were supposed to patrol.

"These people can't afford to enter the city, and they don't have the skills to make a living, so why does Lord Baron let them in?

"Maybe the Baron is kind, right? But the Baron has allocated a lot of miscellaneous supplies, and the Baron is still too kind. ”

"Yes, I heard that the baron paid for those supplies himself, and he almost emptied his family. ”

"I don't know if Lord Baron is stupid, so many supplies are given to those scum, it is better to give them directly, at least we can protect the people. ”

"What stupid things are you talking about, is there any difference between the Baron giving to those untouchables and giving it to us?"

Hearing this, the two laughed out loud.

I couldn't help but think about which girl I should find to accompany the wine after the patrol is over......

At this time, outside the slum.

The old woman who had given the silver coin earlier was walking towards the ghetto, accompanied by a young man.

"Mrs. Lillian, have you made a gain in the town?"

The man was dressed in a guard's costume and had a sword pinned to his leather pants, and looked to be in his twenties.

"Yes, thanks to you for sending me out, otherwise my son and I would have been trapped here. ”

At the thought of a happy life in the future, Lillian couldn't help but smile on her face.

"Where, you are like my deceased grandmother, you should help you. ”

The man held Lillian as he walked past a checkpoint.

"Hey, Rory, you're going to have to treat us to a drink later!"

Several of the guards standing next to the checkpoint looked at Rory and Lillian, and one of them whistled.

"Definitely!"

After sending Lillian to the slums, Rory returned to his post.

For the guards guarding the slums, the untouchables inside were not allowed to enter or leave, but if there were some special people who wanted to come out, the guards would turn a blind eye.

It wasn't long before Rory suddenly saw a sneaky kid wandering around.

"Hey, do you think that kid looks like he's going to slip away?"

He patted one of the guards next to him on the shoulder and pointed at the child.

"Hey, it's kind of like that. ”

The guard narrowed his eyes and walked with Rory towards the child.

The boy stood by the checkpoint, his hands in his dirty trouser pockets, and looked around.

Seeing Rory and the others walking towards him, the little boy did not retreat, but took the initiative to walk towards them.

"Imp, do you want to go out?"

Rory looked at the little boy who was only up to his waist and asked condescendingly.

"Yes, I have money. ”

The little boy looked up, a little nervous on his dirty face.

"Oh, then you take it out and show it to your uncles. ”

The guard next to him laughed and looked at the little boy playfully.

The little boy nodded, and reached into his pocket, as if ready to pull out something.

Rory and the two squatted down and looked intently at the little boy.

Suddenly, the boy pulls a handful of sand out of his pocket, throws it at Rory and the two, and then runs towards the checkpoint.

"Bastard!"

Rory and the two covered their eyes and jerked up, trying to grab the little boy.

But in such an instant, the little boy had already run a few meters away, and he was about to run out of the checkpoint.

"Imp, where do you want to go?"

The little boy looked up, and two tall guards were standing in front of him, and the harsh sunlight made it impossible for him to see the two of them.

These were two guards patrolling the perimeter.

The little boy's frail body was lifted up and brought to the checkpoint.

"Damn, this kid played a trick on us. ”

Rory covered his red eyes and looked at the little boy with anger in his eyes.

"What a little brute. ”

"Then he'll be at your disposal. ”

The two guards threw the boy on the cold ground, then turned and walked towards their posts.

"Please, I...... I didn't mean to......"

The little boy sat on the ground, looking at the two tall figures in front of him, his dirty little face full of fear.

Seeing him like this, Rory and the two looked at each other, and a cruel smile appeared on their faces.

Listening to the muffled snorts and screams coming from the blows to the bodies behind him, the figures of the two guards who were walking out did not pause in the slightest.

"This kid just came, and he dared to break into the checkpoint......

"Whatever, these brutes are not as good as the scum, and it is better to die. ”
