Chapter Seventy-Nine

This theft case finally ended with no casualties, no losses, this group of adults used the magic props banned by the empire many years ago to carry out large-scale, organized theft, and also enslaved some young children to force them to commit crimes, the fate of this group of people will definitely be serious, either the death penalty, or the so-called life imprisonment, and the consequences of going to war, etc., which is also the end of their violation of the laws of the empire.

The girl, Nemo, had been met by Harry in the winter of a year earlier, when he had gone somewhere as usual to heal and then, as before, where he had gone to buy a pet for Althea, on the way, Harry found the girl in thin clothing, she was being chased by a vicious man in an overcoat with a wooden stick, because she was not wearing shoes, her feet had already been frozen and unconscious, and she fell down without noticing the obstacle under her feet, and the hot bread in her arms spilled out of her arms, Rolling down on the snow-covered ground, just as the man who arrived behind was about to teach the girl a lesson with the stick in his hand, Harry appeared, stopped him, and paid the girl's money, which man just left without relenting, and then it was Harry who gave him money and a coat.

This theft case has nothing to do with this girl, she is just being used, maybe Harry gave her too much money at that time, she didn't know how to use and spend it, so she spent it uncontrollably for everyone, in order to protect against the cold to buy coats and shoes, daily necessities and food, under such an unusually large amount of spending, naturally attracted some people's bad intentions, so one day, the bad guys came to the door, not only confiscated the money, but also made Nemo and them a tool for their work, This hard life lasted for half a year, during which they secretly asked others for help, but all they got were merciless cold eyes from others, and many ugly words such as rolling away, no one was willing to help them, but they were filthy garbage, cold words, just when they were about to give up, the young man came, and he saved them, like a hero.

Speaking of their means of theft, in fact, it is to use the stealing skills of the thief's profession to steal, but the necessary condition for becoming a thief is that you must have magic power, no matter what profession, you need magic power for the main activity, without magic power all this is needless to talk about, but magic is such a thing as a blessing of nature, how can everyone have it, only a few lucky people are qualified to have it.

In previous wars, in order to replace the number of people with magical powers, a certain country wanted to cultivate more professionals, so it researched a special magic prop that could make ordinary people without magical power become people who could use magical power, which is the purpose of this magic item.

Disobeying the will of God and forcibly possessing magic power, this requires an extremely expensive price, that is, at the cost of consuming life, this is the true face of that magic item, called "burning life" magic item.

A kind of magic props produced hundreds of years ago, you can imagine the emergence of this kind of magic props, how many people can change their fate, but unfortunately, this kind of props that change their lives against the sky, has always been expensive to manufacture and rare materials, and it is obviously impossible to produce them in large quantities, so only a small number of people can get this kind of thing, that is, rich people.

But who would be bored to use this magic prop, isn't their life long enough, it's okay to use it as an ornamental item, except for the group of crazy people on the battlefield, the nobles have always thought that their lives are not long enough, and they won't use it at all, so this kind of item is generally in the hands of those nobles who love to collect and the army.

At that time, magic items were very valuable to the army, so precious that they could almost sacrifice some people in exchange for more enemies' crazy play, and what to do without magic? With the "Burning Life" magic item, you can restore precious magic power while consuming your vitality, which can make you recover in an instant and fight for a longer time.

Long after the end of the war, the Empire also sealed off this forbidden magic item, which means that it can no longer be used.

Thief,As an agile profession that is good at stealth and disguise,No high-output damage and blood cow-like defense,But it has agile speed,Can flexibly dodge other people's attacks and is good at tracking,At the same time,This profession has also developed a lot of interesting skills,The most rogue skill is the skill created by a lewd person,"Stealing" can steal the enemy's items on the chosen target,According to the user's magic and proficiency,And complex conditions increase the probability of stealing what you want, This means that if you are fully prepared for the item you are going to steal, the chances of stealing that item will be high.

It is precisely because of the invention of this skill that the profession of thieves has become notorious, and insulting titles such as pervert, scum, and social scum have been imposed.

Although this "theft" skill is notorious, it is very practical, and it does not have a high requirement for magic power, and almost as long as it is fully prepared, you can steal what you want, so in order to prevent the crime rate, the Imperial Law stipulates that those who use this method to steal will be punished by the Imperial Law with capital punishment, without mercy.

And it is precisely because of this that if something is lost inexplicably, the general object of suspicion is a person who is a thief by profession, so thieves are also very difficult to mix.

The group of children who were used were using these life-burning magic props, their number was only eleven, that is to say, they had a total of eleven magic props that were banned by the empire, no wonder these children all looked malnourished, their eyes that were full of life became dim, and they were skinny, and the damage to the body of using this kind of magic props was very huge, especially for these children who couldn't eat enough, the burden must be great.

A sound adult will die violently in less than half an hour after using this magic prop, not to mention these malnourished children, after the later investigation, it turned out that this was the reason, they did not let them completely release their lives at once, but by restraining this magic prop to absorb the lives of the children, control the absorption of a small part every day, to achieve their ideal recycling, which is why the children can support it for so long.

What does that magic prop burn life, what does burning life mean, simply put, that is, a person's life is related to normal diet, adequate sleep, moderate exercise, etc., in the case of these can be replenished, life can be continuously replenished, that is to say, because that group of children has a part of the supplement, so it is a part of the life burned every day, and it will not die so quickly.

Nemo's children were taught this skill to them by someone who had been hired from somewhere, and it was just the skill of "theft", and they were either professionals or children who controlled a skill.

Speaking of why those people from the garrison knew that Harry was here, in fact, Harry informed Kalia in advance that he was carrying a pocket crystal ball for communication, and he could communicate with people with the same crystal ball in a timely manner, which was one of the reasons why Kalia was relieved to let Harry leave.

At that time, Harry saw Nemo's figure enter the alley, so he also followed, but unfortunately Harry underestimated the complexity of the alley, the environment inside was not inferior to those labyrinths, in the case of random searching, he got lost, after walking through many dim alleys, he came to an inexplicable place, that is, the very dilapidated warehouse, it seemed that it used to be a place to store something, but now it is obvious that it has been abandoned, this place is really messy.

At the same time, Harry also noticed the movement in the warehouse, and through the crack in the open door, he found many unexpected things, the person he wanted to find was also inside, child abuse, poor children, unpalatable food, all scenes were presented in Harry's eyes, although he didn't understand what was going on, but these scenes could also tell that this group of people was not the adopters of these children, on the contrary, it may also have a certain connection with some crimes.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Harry chose to inform Kalia and ask her to bring someone from the Imperial Capital Guard to deal with the matter, and the story progressed like this, Harry alone subdued the gang and asked them and the children about what happened.

The third area of the imperial capital not only has the symbolic buildings of the empire, the magnificent palace, but also some major departments are also established in it, such as the crime verdict that occurred at different times in various places, how the sentence is, how much the territory income, what the disaster situation is, etc. It became the foil of the palace.

The Ministry of Justice is divided into many departments, Harry often comes here, wanders around, asks what the current war situation is, what are the records of riots and the like, that is to say, Harry maintains an open attitude and comes here to chat with the relevant people here, in fact, he is looking for the whereabouts of the old witch, and he has not forgotten the matter of rescuing Teacher Isabet, he hopes to find a little connection through what is happening in various parts of the empire, and speculate on the whereabouts of the old witch, but for so long, There was no news about her at all.

In the third region, known as the important land, Harry has almost walked around, the palace where the king lives, the Ministry of Justice in charge of the laws of the Empire, and the headquarters of the Knights...... Many places have been to him in his daily leisure time, relying on his status as a prince can pass and play in many forbidden places, and it is precisely because of this that Harry is very popular in this third area, many people know him, Harry is a very gentle person, this is undoubted, no matter to whom, he will give people a respectful smile, gentle to people, talk and behave appropriately, and is very good at listening to others talk about bitterness, and is also very good at taking care of people, for such a prince, who doesn't like it, Although he didn't come to these places for a long time, he made a lot of impressions on everyone.

In the environment of so many years of knowledge accumulation and dealing with many people, he also has some understanding of some things in the empire, so this is also the reason why he can speculate based on the situation on the spot after entering the warehouse, with a certain knowledge base, it is not difficult to speculate about these.

Of course, this incident did not end so simply, but involved a larger event......

"So, they don't need the money now, instead, they use it in another way."

"I see."

"Thank you, Sister Kalia."

Hiding from the scorching sun, the carriage drove into the dark passage, and Harry in the carriage returned the bag that Kalia had given him earlier, the bag containing the money, and Calia understood what Harry meant on the other hand, and put away the money bag that Harry handed over.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Aisya, who was sitting next to Harry, played with the eldest Roland cat in her arms, and said suspiciously, the white rabbit was staring at the cat with her red eyes open because she had lost her master's most precious throne.

"If you don't understand, it's not the time for you to know." Harry's kitten lay in his arms and barked coquettishly, Harry said as he stroked the kitten's smooth fur.

"He's only a year older than me, and he's always pretending he's old, Harry is the big bad!" Aisia said angrily.

"Haha, you're the big bad...... Harry said with a smile on Althea's face.

…………

The carriage was on the way to the destination, and the two were playing.

The Munster Empire is a country located on the east side of the sea, occupies a pivotal position on the continent of Isente, as one of the super five powers, the country of knights, and seems to have a certain connection with the Holy See of Light, this alone no country dares to underestimate.

Coincidentally, the Holy See of Light is a religion that believes in gods, and transmits their faith to the people of the mainland with friendly coexistence and spreading the creed of peace, and the headquarters of the Holy See of Light is also in the country of the Munster Empire, and it is also near the imperial capital.

Because of the accident six years ago, in order to save Harry, who was about to die, the current Pope agreed to use the healing magic of the Holy Word level to save Harry, and the "Redemption of Angels" happened in the cathedral of the imperial capital under the chant of fifty-four people, so he saved Harry, and things seemed to have no return, like a free move made by the Pope to save a person's life, but in fact, the empire owes the Holy See a very big favor, after all, the empire has no way to save Harry, it can only rely on the Holy See, how can you not repay the love owed to others.

So since six years ago, the empire has relaxed its economic oppression of the Holy See, acquiescing to their construction of churches in the second region, and at the same time, in order to warn those assassin organizations that had attacked Harry, His Majesty the King decisively ordered the elimination of those organizations that threatened the empire, mainly targeting those illegal assassin organizations hidden in the imperial capital, and killing all those who did not leave them alive to achieve the role of warning, although there were many assassins killed at that time, but there were more or less some people about that organization.

At that time, this kind of cleaning with the imperial capital as the scale was indeed very useful, pulling out some of the tumors remaining in the imperial capital, and making a certain contribution to the stable social environment in the future, which is obvious.
