early morning

The sun is shining throughout the city, and the residents of Taylaki City have started their busy days again.

As a city known throughout the continent for its prosperity and happiness, to outsiders, its citizens must have lived a paradise-like life, which is definitely not much worse than the holy city of Legaphos.

But under the light, there are always shadows.

As a large city with a population of 400,000, there was always a shortage of people from the bottom to serve the merchants and nobles, and many of them often lived unhappy lives.

Lidisan is a twelve-year-old girl with perfect looks that can make people feel good at a glance. But such a girl, who should have been pampered by thousands, is one of these many unfortunate people.

As a child growing up in an orphanage in Seongnam, she had no idea who her parents were, let alone remembered what they looked like. She has survived to this point thanks to the welfare facilities such as the orphanage that the successive Grand Dukes of Teleki have built in the city for the sake of her reputation as wise and holy.

But in her mind, the place where she was given food and a place to live was a literal hell. The staff of the orphanage, as well as her 'brothers and sisters', are like the legendary demons, extremely evil and villains, and their attitude towards her is very bad, ranging from sarcasm to random beatings. So she resolutely escaped from the orphanage last night, preferring to wander the streets rather than go back to that terrible place.

As for the reason for this, she knows all too well. All the misfortune comes from the eye on his forehead that has never been opened.

Here, when everyone is born, they open their third eye on their forehead and reveal their natural abilities. These abilities, which come with the eyes, are called pupil power. The primitive pupil power is big and small, strong and weak, but everyone agrees that only with pupil power, no matter how small this pupil power is, he will definitely be a useful person in the future. And those who open their eyes but fail to show the slightest pupil power will be considered a waste and will be ridiculed by others. As for people like Lydissan, who haven't even opened their eyes since she was a child, it's simply an unheard-of bizarre event, and everyone treats her as a useless monster.

After the fame spread, an old professor at the Taylor Gene Higher Pupil Academy, out of curiosity, came to check it out for himself in order to see if there was any reason for the strangeness. But the end result was a disappointment for the respected old man, and beneath the faint flesh-colored vertical line in the middle of Lydison's forehead was a patch of undeveloped musculature.

So for this, she also earned the title of 'Lidison with two eyes'. From then on, whenever she said her name, everyone would show a look of surprise, and then turn to a faint indifference, and no longer enthusiastic about her.

This caused her to never say her name when facing strangers, and would only ignore it with a cold face, but this made her life situation even more difficult. But let her change her name, this precocious little girl who is extremely stubborn by nature and has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, is extremely unwilling. Because there was always an ethereal voice in her heart, repeating the name 'Lidison'.

From this voice, Lidison felt her only warmth in this world, and she was able to live until now and did not choose to commit suicide, because of the existence of this voice. So her name is her most precious thing, even if it is her own life, it is far less!

Feeling the warm sunshine, Lydison slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes, because she hadn't eaten all night, her vision was still a little blurry.

When the vision became clearer, I saw a strange man standing on the corner of the street not far away. The man was wearing a strange style of golden-red armor, and the cloak on the armor was still shining with golden light, and this dazzling brilliance made her squint.

The cloak hunted in the morning breeze, so that the morning was no longer quiet. Lidison's eyes moved to his face, and he saw a pair of sword eyebrows accompanied by heroic energy, two starry eyes with depth, and red lips hooked up a faint smile, he was really a very handsome man!

But she was no longer gentle with anyone, but after a moment of curiosity, she looked away, ready to start her official wandering career.

Just as she got up and took the first step, the man suddenly appeared in front of her, looked at her curiously, and said the continental lingua franca in a strange pronunciation:

"Little girl, why don't you have three eyes?"

“……”

Lydison gave the man a hard look and walked straight to the side.

But before he could take two steps, the man stood in front of him again. Looking up indifferently at the man who provoked her, Lidison opened her mouth to speak, and her voice was cold and abnormal:

"What the hell do you want to do?"

I saw that the man smiled slightly, pointed to his forehead, and said slowly:

"I don't have that eye either."

Hearing this, Lidison finally took a closer look at the man in front of her. I saw that his forehead was snow-white, unusually flat, and compared to his own faint vertical line, he didn't seem to have that eye at all!

Although he was an outlier like himself, Lidison still had no good words to say, and said coldly:

"Oh, what does this have to do with me? Please get out of the way. ”

Looking at that very unfriendly gaze, the man chuckled, and was not annoyed, but said softly: "I am new to this place, and I don't know anything about this place. I wonder if I can hire you and get me acquainted with the city? ”

Lydison's gaze was still indifferent, and she said coldly:

"I can't."

After saying that, he bypassed the man and walked away. However, before he could take two steps, a faint voice came from behind him:

"A gold coin, how?"

Lidison's pace slowed.

"Two."

She had stopped.

"Five."

Lydia Sandon turned around and let out a girl's characteristic cry at the man:

"You devil, deal!"

You must know that the monthly cost of an ordinary citizen in the city is only 3,000 copper coins, and even at the official exchange rate, these 3,000 copper coins are only three gold coins. But in reality, it usually takes about 3,500 copper coins to get three old gold coins. If the gold coin is in good condition, the 4,000 copper coin may not be exchanged!

This shows the value of the gold coin. Hearing that just by taking this man to familiarize himself with the city, he could get a huge reward of five gold coins, Lydison had to admit that her dignity was cheaper than she imagined.

"I can familiarize you with this place, but you have to pay the bill first, or I won't be able to trust you."

Looking at the clothes of the man in front of her, although she must have paid the money, but she has heard a lot about those big nobles and big businessmen, who rely on their power and do not pay money, so she must get the payment first!

The man looked at the determined gaze in Lydisand's eyes, nodded, and held out his right hand.

I saw that with the opening of five fingers, five gold coins glowing with beautiful light appeared in the palm of the hand. The man put the five gold coins in perfect condition into Lydison's hand, and said slowly:

"So, little girl, what shall I call you?"

Lydissan carefully hid the gold coins close to her body, and her mood couldn't help but become happy. Hearing the man's words, she hesitated slightly, glanced at the man's forehead, and then whispered:

"My name is Lidison, what about you?"

With a warm smile, the man slowly spoke:

"My name is ...... Yang Zhengze. ”
