"This ......," the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

There was silence in the air for a long time, and he suddenly twisted his head and rushed out of the mayor's office with tears in his eyes.

"Zhen ......," Li Yuan said.

Originally, he wanted to ask him, doesn't this mean that you are conniving at him to steal? But when he saw the tears in the old mayor's eyes, the following words were stuck in his throat.

After a while, the old mayor sighed faintly, and said a little gloomy: "If you don't mind, can you go out for a walk with me, an old man?" ”

"Well, no problem." Li Yuan saw that it was still early, glanced at Lin Xiaoxin and Lin Yinyin, and agreed. Not to mention anything else, he still admires the old man in front of him very much.

If it was the mayor of Dom Town, Li Yuan would give him a sword on the spot...... Let's go, let's go, go your mom-batch.

And Wu Yun didn't want to mention it, his face was full of curiosity, as if he had a stomach and wanted to ask him.

"Thank you!" The old mayor greeted them, and then walked leisurely out of the office door, Li Yuan and his party followed behind the old mayor, walking slowly according to his rhythm.

Out of the door of the mayor's office, the old mayor turned to the left without hesitation, put his hands behind his back, and paced forward, as if he had walked this road a thousand times.

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he glanced at Lin Xiaoxin. From Lin Xiaoxin's eyes, he could also see that she was also aware that the old mayor might have gone out this time to answer their doubts.

So, they didn't say much, but remained silent, and followed the old mayor into the alley, where they turned and turned, and walked for thirty or forty minutes.

Suddenly, there was a sudden dawn in front of them, and they walked out of the alley.

It is a little different from the bustle of the town before, and at a glance, there are only a few simple thatched huts standing crookedly, and the ground is full of withered straw, which looks a little dilapidated and desolate.

It's hard to imagine that this is also part of the town of Caro, although it should be on the edge......

Li Yuan and Wu Yun opened their mouths, and when they were about to ask, the old mayor had already continued to walk forward.

Li Yuan didn't say much, and followed behind him.

When passing by the thatched huts, through the glassless windows, you can see that the people living inside are some children who look young and have dark faces.

The children were as young as four or five years old, and as old as eleven or twelve.

As they passed, the children stared at them with wary eyes, and some even quietly reached for the sticks beside them. It wasn't until the old mayor walked to the door and smiled kindly at them that they relaxed and smiled innocently at the old mayor.

Li Yuan throbbed. And Lin Xiaoxin and Wu Zhi covered their mouths in shock. Even Lin Yinyin had a serious face, and subconsciously grabbed the sleeves of Lin Xiaoxin's clothes.

After following the old mayor, I walked through the three thatched huts, and the situation inside was the same.

"It is inhabited by the children of those who have been killed by the locust army before, or who have failed to conquer the locust army and died in the wasteland." At this time, the old mayor who had been silent on the road opened his mouth quietly, and his tone was full of vicissitudes and pain.

Li Yuan's hearts sank. The old mayor continued, "These thatched huts were built by a novice adventurer among you, who organized a few people. It is because of these inconspicuous thatched huts that these children have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself again: "Ridiculous! We are a Caro town, big or small, and the economic foundation is good, but before that, we couldn't get a place for these little guys. ”

"This ......" Li Yuan opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but Wu Yun took the lead: "Then can't you call on the residents of the town to adopt them?" ”

"It's useless!" The old mayor shook his head: "In the eyes of the townspeople, these children of dead parents will bring bad luck to their families, so not many people are willing to adopt them. You look at the peace of this town, but you don't know where it is really so peaceful! Man has always been a selfish creature. ”

"Luckily, on the day of fate, I met her, a novice adventurer. She came to me and begged me to give her a place where she wanted to give the children a place to stay. I was surprised at the time, it was the first time I heard that someone wanted to do something for these kids......"

The old mayor slowly told the past, although it was less than a month, but when he said it, it was full of vicissitudes.

Li Yuan and his party listened quietly to him for a long time, and they were quite touched in their hearts.

"That boy is a member of the so-called Thieves' Guild?" After the old mayor finished speaking, Li Yuan asked.

Listening to the story told by the old mayor, the woman named Fei, at first begged the people of the town to give them something to eat in order to ensure that the children were fed. It's a pity that after eating countless closed-door soups, she had no choice but to come up with a way, find a few like-minded people, and set up a thief union organization.

"Hmm." The old mayor agreed.

"No wonder you let them go, it turns out that there is such a story!" Wu Yun tapped his palm with his fist, and was a little surprised: "What a great person!" That guy named Fei! ”

"Hmm." This time, even Wu Zhi, who has always been strong in her personality, agreed in a slightly low voice, with a solemn expression.

Since she was born, she has received the best education and dealt with the top elites. All along, she thought this was what the world was all about, what the world really looked like.

But when she saw today's scene, and saw that pair of eyes that should have been innocent, full of nervous vigilance, her heart was greatly touched, and she suddenly realized that she was wrong, and she was wrong!

"Whew!" The old mayor sighed faintly, and was silent for a long time before he struggled to speak: "Actually, I brought you here today for another purpose. ”

"Huh?" Li Yuan and his party were all stunned, a little curious, and said very seriously: "Mr. Mayor Town, if you have something, just say it." ”

"Because of all the energy they put into taking care of these children, Fei and the Thieves' Guild have not been able to keep up with the average level of the town. That kid was only level four, and Fei was even lower. The old mayor bowed his head and said with some wistfulness:

"I was touched that they were able to think about these irrelevant children. But there is a very real problem, in our world, in the end, we still have to rely on strength, rely on rank to win more resources. If, I say, if their level can be higher, even the gold coins they get from hunting can be enough for these children to live well. ”

"It's just that at this time, the number of goblins in the mountains is almost impossible to find, and the number of goblin tribes has decreased a lot, and even some people go to the mountains for most of the day, but they can only find the remaining remains of the goblin tribes. If they continue like this, they will definitely be eliminated by this world, and all their efforts will eventually come to naught. ”

"I don't want to, and I can't see this!" Tears glistened to the old mayor's eyes: "So, this time I beg the alchemist master to refine some experience potions for our Kalo Town, what I want most is to give these experience potions to them." ”

"But there is no way, the price of the experience potion is high, and I can't afford it with my salary, so I can only embezzle the town's public funds. If you use public funds, this experience potion will definitely have a reasonable name to give an explanation to the residents of the town. And the inhabitants of the town will not approve of Fei, nor will they approve of the ...... of this thief union."

"Originally, I wanted to find another way, but I didn't expect that a desert locust leader was born in the wasteland recently. To boost morale, I can only use these experience potions as a reward. ”

"I know that with the strength of Ephi and their friends, it is impossible for him to stand out from the ranks of so many adventurers in the town and get the experience potion. So I beg you," the old mayor pleaded, bowing his head with tears in his eyes, "and beg your help!" Please! ”

"How does the old mayor want us to help them?" Li Yuan hurriedly supported the old mayor.

"I want to beg you, can you get Fei and her friends to join your team?" The old mayor pleaded again.

"Join us?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"I know it might be a bit tough for a strong man, but, but I see that you only have three people in your team, and I think you should be able to accommodate one. And my experience potions are all based on a team of four people. The old mayor got up, looked at Li Yuan, and said sincerely:

"Wu Zhi and the three of them, I know, are the disciples of Mr. Sauron, and they have killed more than ten goblin warriors, and there are almost no novice adventurers in our Caro Town who can beat them. So this time the top three, they must have a share. ”

"And Mr. Li Yuan, the three of you, although you are from Dom Town, but you can follow the caravan, your strength naturally goes without saying, plus you can be with Wu Zhi and them, I think your strength is definitely very strong!"

"Li Yuan, they are very strong! He's a man I admire! Wu Yun interjected. Hearing this, Li Yuan was embarrassed.

"I think your two teams have a good chance of winning the top three and getting experience potions." The old mayor wanted to bow his head again, but Li Yuan reacted very quickly, but he dragged him down first, and took the initiative to agree: "No problem." But I can only add one person to my team, and I can't do anything more. ”

"Me too. Our three siblings have been teaming up since the beginning, and we are already very familiar with the way we fight, and if we change to someone else, we may not be able to get along. Wu Zhi followed closely.

"That's it! Thanks thanks! The old mayor was grateful, took Li Yuan's hand and thanked him again and again: "As long as you are willing to let Fei join your team, I will be very moved!" ”

"What about them? I think I need to talk to her about this matter once it's settled, right? Wu Zhi said.

I don't know if it's because she is the eldest sister among the three siblings, or if she used to deal with those elites a lot, when she speaks, she always makes people feel a fierce momentum.

"Yes, yes! I'll help you ask first. The old mayor patted his head, went to the thatched hut, and asked the children where Fei had gone.

The children shook their heads, saying they didn't know. However, one of the children said: "Sister Fei goes out in the morning every day and comes back at noon!" ”

The old mayor subconsciously looked at Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi's face was soft, and she didn't care much: "Then wait for her!" ”
