Chapter 64: The Magic Timepiece

Seeing that Yi Hui readily agreed to his request, Argent's brows eased slightly, and he patted Yi Hui on the shoulder with a slight smile and said, "The future of the thief profession is in your generation. I can see that you are a good person, and if I can, I can even ask the teacher for permission to let me take you as an apprentice. But there are some things that you can't just think about, you also have your own things to be busy with, and I can't ask more about anything, just follow your own path. Your commitment should carry a lot of weight, and I believe in you with all my heart. Follow this notebook of mine to cultivate, and come back when the time comes. ”

"Well, I'll be cultivating well during this time. I also hope that I can be a strong person. When the time comes, I will definitely reach level 5 of my basic qualities, and I will come and meet these assassins for a while. Yi Hui said firmly.

"My teacher once told me that a good thief is a good thief who doesn't care much about money, and I know you're that kind of person when you question the cost of making my leather armor. I hope you will not be blinded by money on the road ahead, and you can continue to maintain this mentality, so that you can go further on the road of the strong. Argent said.

Yi Hui remembered what Argent had said before, and suddenly had a question in his heart, and he asked puzzledly: "Master Argent, your words are not wrong, but I seem to remember that you said that Master Tif, the originator of our thieves, has a very strong pursuit of money and treasures, is he a person who does not love money?" ”

"Oh? Ha ha...... You seem to be misremembering. Argent smiled and said to Yi Hui, "Tifu has a pursuit of wealth, not money. He pursued the thrill of finding treasure, not just for the sake of it. In addition, the treasure that Tifu got was not reserved for himself, and he also had the nickname of 'righteous thief' among the people. ”

Yi Hui suddenly realized and said, "I understand, in fact, I am also quite keen on this kind of thing. I also have a lot of respect for my adventurers, and I can't imagine that our thieves' ancestors were so keen on exploration. ”

"Yes, in the early days, Master Tifu also did everything to find excitement, often sneaking into wealthy mansions and even palaces to steal some treasures and leave his name, and sometimes in order to increase the difficulty, he would even tell him in advance when he would 'visit', that history is really wonderful and exciting. If you want to dig deeper, you might want to check out the guild's database. Such a great thief, who later met the great explorer Falde and embarked on a wild adventure with him, disappeared with the disappearance of Farder's team, leaving only this legend behind. Argent sighed as he looked at the deep and distant end of the tunnel.

"Farder? You're talking about the Great Explorer Falder? Yi Hui seemed to remember something, he took out the copy of Falder's book "My Exploration and Discovery" in the space ornament and said, "Is it the Falde who wrote this notebook?" ”

"Oh, you still have this?" Argent took the notebook in Yi Hui's hand and flipped through a few pages at random, noticed the words "internal information, forbidden to circulate" on the title page, closed it and handed it back to him, "This is the internal notes of your mercenary guild, I don't read much as a cobbler, but looking through the notes written by the great explorers back then, it seems that I have also returned to the pioneering period of the entire human race." And now, in the past few hundred years, the exploration area of the unknown world by all mankind is not half of what Felder has explored, which is a pity. Those who have the strength are bent on seizing power and existing resources, and those who don't have the strength can't explore, what is the current situation? ”

Yi Hui took back his notes, his heart sullen, he sighed at the contribution made by Farder, and he was disappointed by the lack of the spirit of adventure today. He stroked the space ornament, perceiving the magic map lying quietly in the corner of the ornament, and thought, "One day, when I have the strength to save my life, I will walk around this continent and fill the map!" I'm going to be the new adventurer. ”

"Okay, it's too late to say so much, let's eat and then leave." Argent brought Yi Hui back from his thoughts and invited him to dinner.

Yi Hui was stunned for a moment and asked Argent: "You can't see the outside in this underground, you know so well what time it is?" ”

Argent took out a small box similar to a pocket watch in his arms and opened it to Yi Hui to see, only to see that in the small box was a magic projection, under the projection, a round of red light was slowly hidden to the edge, and the background of the projection gradually changed from top to bottom into the shape of the starry sky, slowly showing a bright white moon. It's half a moon, and the moon on the projection is only half there.

"This is called a magic timepiece, and the master and the branch leader of the Magic Guild got such a piece, like this? With this, you can also know the time when exploring the dungeon. Argent said.

"It's so exquisite." Yi Hui was simply amazed by this magic timepiece in Argent's hand, in this society where mechanical technology is not very developed, it has solved the functional problem of clocks and watches through such a technology derived from a magical civilization, and the magic map that Yi Hui got before, this is also a magic item, although the function is different, but the same wonderful, the same incredible.

Seeing that Yi Hui really liked it, Argent shoved the magic timepiece into Yi Hui's hand and said, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Yi Hui was taken aback, and repeatedly excused himself: "No, no, no, how dare I accept something as valuable as you?" It's already been a great benefit to get your notes, and thank you for not coming yet, how dare you accept this again? ”

Yi Hui knew the rarity of this magic item, he had already spent a lot of money just by leasing a magic map, and from the perspective of ownership, this magic map still belonged to the mercenary union, he just had the right to use it. At this time, Argent actually wanted to give him such a valuable magic item, and Yi Hui, who was not used to receiving favors, did not dare to accept such a gift at will when he knew the rarity of this kind of thing.

"If you want to take it, you can take it, I remember you said that you wanted to treat me as a friend, and the things that my friend gave me are just that. Unless you don't treat me like a friend. Argent insisted on Yi Hui to accept it, his fast hand flashed a few times, Yi Hui couldn't dodge, and when Argent stopped, Yi Hui suddenly found that this magic timepiece was already in his pocket.

"I'm a thief, I can get what I want, and what I want to give away must be where it should be. Just take it. Argent said to Yi Hui jokingly.

Since this magic timepiece was already in his pocket, Yi Hui could only sigh and stop refusing. Having received such a practical good thing in vain, Yi Hui thought that he must earn more face for Argent and the entire thief industry in the competition with the assassins in a year and a half in order to repay Argent for his help.

After a simple but fulfilling light meal, Yi Hui returned to the headquarters of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment.

The dim yellow candlelight that lit in the room came through the entrance of the regimental department, and as soon as Yi Hui entered the door, he saw Scott and Occam sitting at a large table playing a kind of chess piece called "Attack the Fortress", with Occam as the defender and Scott as the attacker. Kinley watched from the sidelines to make a few sarcastic remarks about Occam, and gave Scott a few tricks by the way. Sheebel on the sofa was already asleep, covered with a thick blanket that someone had covered her, and she was still sleeping a few times, probably dreaming of some delicious snacks, right?

Looking at such a harmonious scene, Yi Hui couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, it was good to have such a group of companions to accompany him in this strange world. Only in this small and humble mercenary group can Yi Hui find the feeling of home that he has not seen for a long time.

Seeing Yi Hui coming in, Scott stopped the chess game in his hand, and he asked Yi Hui, "Have you had dinner?" If you haven't eaten it, there's bread and broth in the kitchen, and I'll go and heat it up for you. ”

"No, I've eaten it." Yi Hui sat down at the table as he spoke, watching them continue the unfinished chess game.

"How's the exam?" Scott asked.

"Not good." Yi Hui replied absentmindedly, he really didn't know how to answer this question, and for Scott, who cared about him, Yi Hui really didn't want to tell him about his outrageous results.

"It's okay, I've taken the test once, and the next time I take the test, it won't be so difficult."

"Hmm."

Yi Hui suddenly remembered something, took out the notebook that Argent gave him, handed it to Scott's hand, and said: "Here is the note written by Master Argent himself, if you practice carefully according to what is written above, you should be able to reach level 5 smoothly, you can copy it yourself first, I hope the above knowledge can help you break through the bottleneck." ”

"Handwritten by Master Argent?" Scott jumped off the stool, ran to Yi Hui, took the notebook, looked at it carefully, and let out a happy howl, "Oh! ……”

Yi Hui was embarrassed, he thought to himself that this Scott was today's brainless fan. How can a person who usually listens calmly meet Argent and is so uncalm about things?

"What's the matter?" Sheebel was woken up by the howl, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes, wondering what was going on.

Scott held the notes and asked Yi Hui, "Can you transcribe it?" Doesn't that matter? ”

Yi Hui said: "It should be possible, because Master Argent's original intention is also to let the profession of thieves have some more outstanding talents, and he will eventually be characteristic, I think you should be able to meet the standard." ”

Before Yi Hui could finish speaking, Scott rushed back to the room with his notes in his arms, leaving Occam who was stunned as he watched the chess game.

"Hey...... I'll accompany you next. Kinley shook his head speechlessly and sat down across from Occam.

Occam picked up a "ballista" and aimed it at the "cavalry" in front of Jinli, and said in a low mood: "If Scott is also level 5, this regiment will defeat me and Shibel without breaking through, this ...... Hey......"
