The midday sky is a special blue, so blue that it makes people feel heartbreaking. The skyline is between light blue and true blue, and the sky dome is true blue. The sun was in the middle, red and white, but the light and heat emitted did not pollute the sky in the slightest, but directly covered the streets and alleys of Moss. There was not a single cloud in the sky, as if it had been driven away by the kingly sun.

Due to the perennial war in Northern Europe, many teenagers have been displaced or even orphaned. Cao Ergou is a twelve-year-old orphan who now makes a living by scavenging in Moss City, and occasionally does shady things to earn income.

Now Cao Ergou is following behind an old man in a purple robe, following him all the way. This old man's teacher Cao Ergou was eyeing him before, because he saw the old man take out a large handful of gold coins from his waist pocket when he was shopping.

In the northern plains, the common currencies were copper coins and gold coins, of which gold coins were the most precious, according to the exchange ratio, one gold coin was equivalent to 1,000 copper coins. You must know that the annual income of ordinary people may be a few gold coins. The old man can take out so many gold coins, he must be worth a lot, thinking of this, Cao Ergou's eyes flashed with excitement.

When he came to a market, there were more people, Cao Ergou squeezed into the crowded crowd, bumped into the old man casually, and then strode away.

After leaving Fang City, Cao Ergou trotted all the way until he came to an alley where no one was around. Cao Ergou looked around for a while, making sure that no one was following, and then he took out a bag in his arms, which was the bag of the old man in the purple robe.

Cao Ergou weighed the bag, feeling as light as nothing, and couldn't help but wonder if there was really no gold coin in the bag.

Cao Ergou tinkered, so he reached out to untie the string of the bag, but he couldn't untie it, and he couldn't help but be a little angry. Cao Ergou took the bag and shook it, but it still had no effect, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Go find Brother Shi, he is well-informed and should know how to open the bag. Cao Ergou thought.

Brother Shi mentioned by Cao Ergou, his real name is Shi Kai, and he is also a scavenger, thirteen years old this year. The difference is that Shi Kai is very trusted by the waste scavenging organization and is the manager of a team of waste pickers.

In the northern plains, there are not a few waste pickers, and in order to fight for living space, a large number of waste pickers have united and established a waste picker organization. In Moss City, there are three relatively large scavenger groups, namely the Green Tree Gang, the Water God Gang and the Ethereal Gang, among which the Ethereal Gang is the most powerful. Cao Ergou and Shi Kai are in the Qingshu Gang.

About half an hour later, Cao Ergou found what he said about Brother Shi at a waste dump and handed the bag to Shi Kai.

Shi Kai is a skinny teenager, and like many scavengers, Shi Kai is dressed in tatters, but he is cleaner and neater than other scavengers. Shi Kai's skin is yellow, like a moderately steamed corn steamed bun. It may be due to the fact that the scavengers did not eat the last meal, Shi Kai's body did not have too much fat, and the whole person looked thin, but judging from Lin Feng's current height, he should be tall in the future.

Shi Kai took the bag and weighed it, and said calmly: "This should be a high-grade space storage bag." ”

When Cao Ergou heard the name of the storage bag, he was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. You know, space storage bags are rare in Northern Europe, and they are things that can only be made by space magicians.

"Can you open it?" Cao Ergou said, his eyes couldn't help but look eagerly at the storage bag.

"Stupid, once the storage bag is recognized, no one else can open it if the owner does not dissolve the relationship. And the storage bag that recognizes the owner has a spiritual connection with the owner, as long as the owner is willing, the location of the storage bag can be sensed. Shi Kai snorted softly.

"Moreover, the owners of the space storage bags are all people with status, once the other party comes to the door, our gang will not be able to protect you." Shi Kai regained his composure and said coldly.

"What can I do then, Brother Shi." Cao Ergou was anxious, and his speech couldn't help but be a little hurried. He was very scared in his heart, for a person with no background, this situation would be panicked.

"Give me the storage bag, and then give me the place where you got this storage bag, and let me give it to the benefactor, hoping that he will let you go." Shi Kai said unhurriedly.

"Okay, Brother Shi, I'll listen to you." Cao Ergou is like a drowning man, desperately grasping at this life-saving straw.

Cao Ergou hurriedly handed over the space storage bag to Shi Kai, for Shi Kai, Cao Ergou still has a lot of respect, this boy of the same age as himself, as soon as he came to Moss City, he showed outstanding leadership skills, was appreciated by the leader of the Qingshu Gang, and became a middle-level manager. This is something that many adult waste pickers can't do.

As for Shi Kai's origin, under the cover of the gang leader, no one asked.

After Cao Ergou left, Shi Kai met a young man with a token pinned to his waist. The young man is the messenger of the leader of the Qingshu Gang, and his identity is not under Shi Kai, but he is very easy-going, and he does not underestimate Lin Feng because of Shi Kai's age.

"Captain Shi, the helper asked me to ask how the incident went?" The young man was not hesitant and went straight to the point.

"It didn't go well, it cost a lot of money." Shi Kai shook his head helplessly, and said lightly, "The helper didn't call you here just for that matter, but do you have other instructions?" Shi Kai changed his words and asked.

"I can't hide anything from Captain Lin, it's like this, recently there was a conflict between the gang and the people of the Water God Gang over the ownership of a waste accumulation point, and the two sides made an appointment to fight in the afternoon three days later, and the gang leader asked you to go to the town." The young man said with a look of "look at you".

"Okay, I got it." Shi Kai waved his hand to show understanding.

Bidding farewell to the young man, Shi Kai walked along the place Cao Ergou said, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he walked a little absent-mindedly.

"This is it." Shi Kai looked around and determined that this was the place Cao Ergou was talking about.

There was a surge of people around, Lin Feng was dressed in shabby clothes, and he was a little out of place, but Shi Kai was like a rock in the torrent, and he didn't move.

The purple-robed old man didn't appear for a long time, and Shi Kai couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that this space storage bag was not so important to the old man, so that the old man didn't care about its gains and losses.

With the mentality that everything is safe, Lin Feng was not in a hurry, found a stone step near the street, and sat down.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and about half an hour or so, an old man in a purple robe found Shi Kai.

"Boy, you stole my storage bag? You haven't left yet? The old man glared, and a huge pressure fell on Lin Feng, and Shi Kai's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Old man, the storage bag was taken by one of my men, and I am here to make amends to him for your sins." Shi Kai said as he respectfully handed the storage bag to the old man.

"Okay, I'll trust you for a while." The purple-robed old man took the storage bag, pinned it casually to his waist, and then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, old man, are you a magician?" Shi Kai hurriedly stopped the old man and asked the question in his heart.

"Sort of, what's the matter?" The old man stopped and said a little impatiently.

"Master Magician, my biggest dream is to become a magician, please take me as an apprentice." Shi Kai rarely showed a somewhat fiery expression, and bowed deeply to the purple-robed old man.

"Don't worry, you said you want to be a magician, do you know how much money it costs to train a magician?" The old man did not reply directly, but said very calmly.

"At least 10,000 gold coins." Shi Kai replied without thinking. Shi Kai replied so quickly that the old man was also taken aback.

"Since you know that it costs a lot, why do you want me, the person I met in the water, to pay so much for you?" The old man stroked his beard and said lightly.

"I got this book by accident, and it's not worth 10,000 gold coins, but I think it should be useful to the magician. I hope that the magician will accept this small gift, after all, if I can't become a magician, this book won't play much role in me. When Shi Kai heard this, he took out a worn-out kraft book from his arms and handed it to the purple-robed old man.

The old man took the book, looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, and thought to himself that a young man who was scavenging could come up with something to make his heart move, but out of habit, he still confirmed it. Suddenly, the old man's pupils shrank, and he said, "I'll go back and study this book, and tell me why you want to become a magician first." ”

"I want to protect the beauty I admire." Shi Kai said rarely, with a resolute tone.

Looking at Lin Feng's determined expression, the old man's heart may have been slightly touched, or he remembered something, a little dignified.

"I'll go back and think about it, and I'll get back to you in three days." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left, never looking back.

It was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave everything on the earth a golden coat, and the entire city of Moss became a golden fortress, forming a unique beauty. Shi Kai walked on the streets of Moss City, not worrying about how the purple-robed old man would find him, because as a magician, of course, he had great magical powers, and he could easily know where he was by leaving a spiritual mark on his body.

Shi Kai now walked to his camp outside the city, a garbage dump where scavengers gathered, where Shi Kai lived. Although the environment of the garbage dump is not as good as that of Moss City, or even quite poor, Shi Kai, who makes a living from it, does not dislike it at all, because it does not conflict with Shi Kai's ideals. Shi Kai was thinking about the agreement of the purple-robed old man, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the order of the leader of the Aoba Gang, which was also three days.

Shi Kai took a deep breath to calm his nervousness. Three days, whether his fate can change depends on these three days.
