Chapter 408: The Mage and the Pauper
In any city, there are different areas of commoners or poor and rich, and in the big city of Zazespo, in the dirty streets of the slums, there are two big men grabbing a teenager and a half-year-old child, who is dressed in tatters, his hair is dirty, and his arms are grabbed separately, and he is struggling desperately.
"Let go of me! Let me go! The half-grown child shouted angrily, and suddenly lowered his head and bit the back of one of the big men's hands.
"You! Dare to steal the eldest lady of the earl's family, if it weren't for the kindness of our eldest lady, she would have beaten you to death a long time ago, can you still go back to your kennel alive? I even took revenge and dared to bite me! β
When the bitten man saw the tooth marks on the back of his hand, he was angry, showed his companion a look, and then grabbed the half-grown child and slammed it to the ground.
Bang!
I only heard the dull sound of flesh hitting hard objects, and the half-grown child was thrown to the ground, listening to the sound as if the bones and ridges on his back were cracked, it can be seen that this big man shot viciously and ruthlessly.
The people around were all in a circle to watch the excitement and point their fingers, but none of them dared to save the little boy.
"Okay, okay, don't beat this kid to death, now is the critical time, the housekeeper has ordered a small punishment, don't kill anyone."
"Oh? That is, just don't kill people. β
Another horse-faced man said a faint "persuasion" indifferently, and the thick-faced black-faced man smiled fiercely, and raised his legs high, preparing to step heavily on the thin chest of the half-grown boy, the weight difference between the two was nearly 100 catties, and there was no doubt that this foot was solid, and the half-big boy's chest would definitely collapse.
"That's enough."
Suddenly, a deep man's voice sounded in the crowd, not loud, but clear enough to reach the ears of everyone nearby.
At the same time, the half-grown boy closed his eyes unwillingly and desperately, waiting for the severe pain to come, but after this voice sounded, the severe pain did not come for a long time, and he couldn't help but open his eyes nervously, and saw that the big man with a black rough face was flushed, as if he was trying to compete with someone.
The dirt on the bottom of the black rough-faced man's shoes was sticking to the half-grown boy's clothes, but now this leg is slowly being lifted again, and the half-big boy doesn't see anything lifting it, but this leg is like being lifted up by something invisible, no matter how hard the big black man tries to step on it again, he can't do it.
In the crowd, a gray-robed man walked out calmly, his right hand stretched out to the big man with a rough black face, making a false gesture, as long as he was not blind, he could see that this strange scene was the mysterious method of this gray-robed man.
"This man must be a mage!"
"I think nine out of ten are yes, after all, there have been a lot of strange mages and warlocks in the city recently because Count Lane wants to find a master for his daughter."
"But this mage is sick in the brain, these two people are really the family members of Earl Lane's mansion, he offended the Earl with this move, and he still wants to be Miss Anna's mentor?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Little Jack isn't a kid who steals from other people, and you don't know him. β
The onlookers were talking, but it provided Zhong Junxiu with some additional sources of information, but it didn't matter what kind of person this half-grown boy was, he was targeting these two family members.
"What did this kid do? Is it necessary for you to kill him? Zhong Junxiu looked at the two family members of the Earl's Mansion, and asked in a calm tone and demeanor.
After Zhong Junxiu stood up, Duck also followed silently and quietly, and the two big men knew each other's mage identities, and immediately changed their respectful faces, no longer caring about the little boy, and hurriedly bowed their waists slightly and asked: "Dear mage, this kid stole the things of our eldest lady of Earl Lane's family, these poor boys are born with unclean hands and feet, we just taught him a lesson." β
Syllable!
Suddenly, the gray-robed man snapped his fingers, and saw that the right forearm of the big black-faced man who was talking suddenly twisted in a strange direction at a right-angle angle, which was a posture that human bones and muscles could not reach normally.
"Ahh!!!hh
At the same time, the big man with a rough black face also let out an earth-shattering scream, just like the terrible screams of the butcher killing pigs that the residents usually heard in the middle of the night.
The tragic situation of his companion made the eyelids of the horse-faced family next to him jump, his face changed suddenly, and he stared at the gray-robed man and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, didn't you hear clearly that we are from the Earl of Lane's family?" Do you have any enmity with Earl Lane? β
The people around him had a clear-eyed person who heard the hissing and snorted, and secretly said in his heart that this horse-faced family had a vicious mind, which directly pushed this gray-robed mage to the stake, you must know that with the power and wealth of Earl Lane, the mansion often recruits a few mages and a group of knights, and there is a big family with a relationship with the royal family behind it, and there are also people with faces in the upper class of Tesser.
It's just a pity that this horse-faced family didn't expect that Zhong Junxiu was here for them.
Syllable!
There was a double sound, and with Zhong Junxiu snapping his fingers again, the horse-faced mandible was divided, his eyes widened in horror, and he held his chin in both hands and tried to press it back, but it only brought severe pain.
The mysterious gray-robed man took off his mask, revealing a handsome face full of manliness and sharp horns, and a black hair ponytail that was casually tied up behind him and shoulder-length, showing off a bit of chic and uninhibited charm.
"Threatening a mage? ! You two dogs are not qualified to talk to me face to face! β
Everyone saw him wave his hand lightly, and the two family members suddenly flew out a few meters away, and when they got up again, they were already full of thoughts of fleeing back to the Earl's Palace to move the rescue soldiers.
The half-grown boy was clever, and when he saw the two family members being beaten away and got up from the ground, he wanted to sneak into the crowd and slip away.
"Jack, the wound on your back is not well healed, and it is estimated that in a week you will only be able to crawl on the ground with your hands."
The dirty boy named Jack stiffened, and when he heard the voice, he immediately remembered the mysteries and powers of mages that he had heard from the bards, and their reckless "evil" behavior, such as turning the disrespectful rich man into a pig or a puppy, a clichΓ© that was deeply loved by the common people and the poor.
