Changing into clean clothes, Wren sat down at his desk with a pensive look on his face.

He was pondering the causes and consequences of his death.

Although his memory is somewhat mutilated and lacks many details, Wren is very clear about the culprit of all this, mainly two people.

One is his classmate in the academy, whose name is Ramsay, who used to be a very good friend, but he is also the executor of the killer against himself.

The other man is called Esperger, a true transcendent who is the mastermind behind his own killing.

Wren didn't know much about Asperger, except that his transcendent class could be a "ranger" or a "shadow warrior", and the two had something in common at the lower level. If you don't fight it, or watch it with your own eyes, it's hard for outsiders to accurately identify the profession.

Eisperger's swordsmanship is superb, and he is a teacher at a well-known swordsmanship gym in the city of Lonsander.

Wren has some talent in swordsmanship, and he has studied swordsmanship with the academy teacher for three years, and his strength level is in the middle and upper reaches of his classmates, but when facing Asperger, he can't even catch a sword!

He was able to get to know Asperger because of Ramsay's introduction.

Half a month ago, Wren fell out with his father and returned to Longshand, wanting to find a job to earn a living. But apart from a little swordsmanship and literacy, he basically has no other abilities, and he doesn't want to do undignified jobs like a worker or a postman, so he runs into walls everywhere.

Later, he met Ramsey outside the academy, and because the two had a good relationship, Wren told him about his difficulties.

The next day, Ramsey offered Wren a job and entered the "Maloney's Sword" sword gym to work as an assistant to Isperger.

The Sword of Ma Jianni is one of the most famous swordsmanship halls in the city, even if it is only an assistant position, the remuneration is very considerable, several times higher than the average worker, and quite decent, at that time Wren agreed without hesitation, and he was very grateful to Ramsey in his heart.

After that, Wren officially worked in the kengy gym, and with his good swordsmanship, he was also very satisfied with him, and occasionally personally instructed him in swordsmanship.

Ramsey is also Esperger's assistant and works together in the kendo gym, and Wren has a better and better relationship with him, almost treating him as a life confidant, talking about everything.

Until yesterday.

Before leaving work, Ramsey suddenly and mysteriously told Wren that Asperger's had an important business for them to do, and that they would meet in a tavern on Perfume Street after dark.

Wren didn't think much of it, arrived at the tavern on time, and then followed Ramsay to a strange carriage behind the tavern.

The windows of the carriage were sealed with black cloths, so that they could not be seen outside.

Ramsey took out two sets of fine leather armor in the car and put them on, and gave Wren a long sword, which was obviously prepared a long time ago, and Wren was puzzled at that time, but he didn't ask more.

The carriage traveled through the city for a long time, and Wren did not know where it went, and finally stopped in a remote alley.

After the two got out of the car, Wren saw that Esperger's was already waiting.

Esperger, also dressed in black leather armor, with two weapons, one long and one short, hanging from his waist, covered half of his face with a black scarf, and stood motionless in the corner, his figure hidden in the shadows. If he hadn't shown up on his own initiative, Wren wouldn't have been able to discover his existence.

Then, Asperger began to lay out the action.

It was only at this moment that Wren finally understood what to do. Asperger was about to break into a house and kill someone, and the target was a family in a house with a partition wall in the alley.

He didn't understand why Asperger's wanted to take him, and all he had in mind was fear and resistance.

But Asperger didn't give Wren a chance to refuse, he asked Ramsey to watch the wind in the dark at the entrance of the alley, and told Wren to follow him in and do it. Wren wanted to escape, but he also knew very well that if he said that he wanted to quit now, the first thing Asperger would kill was himself, so he could only go in together.

The killing that followed left Wren with a huge psychological shock.

Asperger's goal is to be a "mechanic craftsman" who has a lot of money, but is not a transcendent person. The two guards in the family were also just ordinary people, and they had no power to resist in the face of powerful transcendents.

In just a few minutes, Asperger bloodied the family, including the mechanic himself, his wife and two children, five or six servants and guards, almost all of whom were murdered.

Only one of the guards was deliberately left behind by Asperger, and after being stripped of his mobility, he asked Wren to kill him.

After several torments and struggles in his heart, in order to survive, he finally pierced the heart of the guard with a sword.

Next, Asperger called Ramsey in, and searched the mechanic's house inside and out, and got a large sum of money. They have a lot of experience, and a lot of valuable things that are very hidden have been discovered, and it is clear that this is not the first time they have done such a thing.

Wren was not involved in the looting and was still in the shock of his first killing.

Esperger's return to the carriage with his belongings, this time he was going back with the two of them.

On the way back, Wren didn't say a word. Ramsey has been comforting him, and promised that he will have his share after dealing with these things, enough for him to pay the tuition fees of the college, and there is still a lot of leftovers to live a decent life.

While Ramsey said this, Asperger's eyes were on him, putting a lot of pressure on Wren.

Wren didn't immediately agree, his brain was almost at a standstill, and he returned to the previous tavern in a daze, changed his clothes and left.

On the way back to the apartment alone, Wren finally reacted.

The night's action is actually a trap, and Asperger and Ramsay want to pull themselves into the water and be one of them. If you agree this time, you will fall into the wrong path from now on, and there will be more terrible things waiting for you in the future.

Wren immediately decided to report it!

Although he was forced to kill one of his guards, he had to do it as a last resort, and even if he was tried, the crime would be lighter, and it would be better than being beheaded after committing more crimes in the future. And reporting Asperger's also has a credit, which is enough to offset that crime.

So Wren turned to the church that went straight to the Church of Justice.

However, not far away, on the corner of a street, Wren saw Asperger's figure from a distance, and he was so frightened that he was about to turn around and run away when he was knocked unconscious.

When Lei Zhuan woke up again, he was woken up by a beating.

He found himself covered in a cloth bag, unable to see anything, his mouth gagged, and all he could hear was Ramsay's frantic cursing, followed by beatings that lasted for several hours, during which he lost consciousness several times.

The last memory is a heavy blow to the back of the head, and it was also the most fatal blow.

When Wren regained consciousness again, the person was already in the river, and the body was still the same person, but the soul in the brain was no longer the previous "Wren".

Wren couldn't help but sigh as he thought about all this.

The predecessor was still too young, only nineteen years old, he had not seen the sinister of the human heart, and he did not have enough experience in dealing with it.

It was right to report Asperger, but he woke up too late, and he should have thought all about it on the back carriage, pretending to be moved by the money, and first agreed to Ramsay's invitation.

At that time, he did not immediately agree, which had already made Asperger and Ramsay suspicious, and after leaving the tavern, the two secretly followed behind, and Wren was not even wary at all.

When he turned to the Church of Justice, Asperger immediately sensed the purpose, and of course he would not give it another chance.

If you go back to the apartment first and report it in daylight the next day, even if Ramsey is still spying on you, you won't be hacked so easily during the day when there are many people.

In fact, even if Wren succeeds in reporting and denounces Asperger's crimes, he himself will not end well. A transcendent person like Asperger, and judging by his actions, the need to pull people into the gang is most likely supported by a powerful organization.

Even if Wren is successful and does not have to be judged, he will not escape the consequences of being retaliated against in the end.

"It's too naïve to still suffer the loss of youth. ”

Wren whispered for a long time, and then thought in his heart: "Let me take revenge for you, as compensation for occupying your body." ”

The former Wren died, but the current Wren will continue to live.

He didn't know how to get revenge for the time being, but he didn't want to give up and flee elsewhere to survive.

At the moment, his biggest advantage is that Ramsay and Asperger don't know that they are still alive, and the enemy is in the open and in the dark. Although Ramsay knew the address of the apartment, he personally killed and dumped the body, and would never come to the apartment to inspect it afterwards, so as not to arouse suspicion.

According to the normal development, Wren's body was found in the river, reported to the city hall, and the sheriff was sent to investigate, but because of the lack of clues, it was finally dismissed.

Or, Wren's body was not found and disappeared. He lives alone in Longshande, and the only people he has contact with are the people in the sword hall. If Ramsey doesn't report it to City Hall, the landlord won't find out Wren is missing until next month's rent is paid.

"If I were Ramsay, I wouldn't have reported it to City Hall, and the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for him. ”

Wren judged.

"There will be more than half a month before the next rent is paid, and then the landlord will find out that the tenant is missing, and after the report is up, the sheriff will go to the sword hall to find someone to investigate. ”

"For half a month, neither Esperger's nor Ramsay would have thought I was alive. ”

"But I can't continue to live in the apartment, otherwise after half a month, no one will go to the sword hall to investigate, and Ramsey will come to the apartment to check the situation and find that I am still alive and living here, which will lead to death again. ”

"I have to stay missing and hide in the shadows to get revenge. ”

Wren quickly cleared his mind and decided to leave the apartment immediately.

But there's one more thing to do before leaving. He removed the desk to reveal the wall behind it, lifted off a loose brick, and pulled an envelope from inside.

"It's too old-fashioned to hide money, and if Ramsey comes to the apartment to search, it won't take a minute to find out. ”

Wren shook his head with a smile and pushed the desk back into place, then poured out the money in the envelope.

The money was not much, a small stack of banknotes plus a dozen coins.

The Oriense Empire's monetary system was complex, with printed banknotes and three metal coins of varying denominations in circulation.

There are three types of coinage: copper riso, silver krona, and gold guil, while the face value of paper money is equivalent to copper liso and is called copper dollars.

A note with a face value of one copper dollar is equivalent to a copper liso, and there are also banknotes with denominations of 5 copper dollars, 10 copper dollars, 20 copper dollars, 50 copper dollars, and 100 copper dollars. One silver kronor is equal to 20 copper dollars, and 50 silver crowns are equivalent to one gold shield.

In other words, one gold shield can be exchanged for one thousand copper dollars.

In daily life, people mostly use copper dollar banknotes and copper riso, and occasionally silver kroner, only when it comes to large sums of money, will they be exchanged for gold guilders.

For example, the tuition fee of the Transcendent Academy costs 20 gold a year.

This is a huge amount of money for ordinary families, and even in the city of Lungshand, there are not many families who can afford such high tuition fees.

Wren counted six 100 copper dollar bills and five 50 copper dollar bills, and the rest were a dozen small denomination notes and a small handful of silver copper coins.

This money adds up to more than 1,000 copper dollars, which can be exchanged for a gold shield, and there is a fraction left.

He rubbed the thin banknotes in his hand a few times, and felt the delicate patterns, the pale green banknotes exuded the smell of ink, which was quite good, and several silver and copper coins collided with each other, making a clanging crisp sound, which was also very good.

Although the smell and sound were slightly different from those in the previous life, the smell and sound were still very familiar.

The banknotes and copper coins are printed with the heads of several people, including a mighty middle-aged man, a wise old man, and even a very young-looking man.

Wren didn't know any of them, but each of them seemed very familiar.

This is what he has saved in the past three years, which is not much, equivalent to two months' salary of a worker, enough to live in Lonzander for a while.

Keep your money away and hide it in your pocket.

Wren took out a sun hat from the closet and put it on, cleaned up the traces of his return, and then put the wet clothes he had just worn back into a bag and carried it, taking advantage of the lack of people, bowed his head and left the apartment.
