Chapter 8: Stealing

Before you know it, the road is over, the trees are thinning, and you can even see the felled stumps, although there is a slight detour, but you are about to reach the territory of the Duchy of Lothar.

Although he didn't have such a convenient thing as a watch, after glancing at the sun from experience, Luo Ming knew that it was already afternoon.

And Aya directly gave the exact time: "It's 14:23 now." ”

"That's amazing......," Luo Ming sighed, "It's strange to say, the length of day and night between the two worlds doesn't seem to be much different." ”

"It's purely accidental that the units of time are the same, but it's not surprising that the length of day and night, and many other environmental aspects, are similar.

If your soul does not fall into this world, but into another world with completely different laws, I am afraid that there will be no time to adapt and assimilate, and the spiritual structure will collapse and disintegrate.

It's like throwing fish into lava and you can't even grill it in the blink of an eye. ”

Aya smiled evilly and said, "This can explain why the traversers in the novel are so smooth." Because people who don't go well have hung up from the beginning, and encountering another world with a similar environment is in itself one in a billion!

And Luo Ming, you are even more extraordinary, you have adapted so well now, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!"

I'm not fragile enough to need your comfort and encouragement every time...... Luo Ming thought so, but did not say anything.

Let her enjoy the pleasure of caring for others a little more, and it can be regarded as enhancing the friendship of colleagues.

Coming out of the woods, Luo Ming struggled a little to find the path to the nearest settlement.

Aya's knowledge is quite rich, but it is still far from knowing everything, let's just know that there is a mine here, and a small city called Bijin has formed nearby.

After a day of trekking in the forest, although the road was relatively smooth and I washed my face in the morning, my clothes were a little dirty after all.

Fortunately, because of their work, the clothes of most civilians in this world are not so clean, and Luo Ming is not conspicuous in them at all.

Bijin City.

As a city on the southwestern frontier of the Duchy of Lothar, it differs from most cities in many ways. There are many areas in the vicinity that are still inaccessible, full of unknowns and dangers, and of course, there are opportunities to deal with them.

The main attraction is the nearby mine. Originally, the miners and their families formed a small town near the mine, but it was in a ravine, and as the scale of mining expanded, it could not accommodate so many people, so the city was built on the plain outside the mine.

Unlike Earth, there are some strange creatures lurking in the mines here, while in other directions, there are swamps and forests, and no matter where they are virgin lands that have not been developed on a large scale, they naturally attract many adventurers and mercenaries to come here.

The magic core, minions and fur of the monster and even the blood, eyeballs, hearts, etc., may be sold for a good price, and if you are lucky, you can also find rare herbs or ores, and of course, you can also make a small fortune by finding the corpse of the predecessor adventurer who unfortunately died there, and the equipment is not cheap.

Such special conditions really give Bijin City a unique vitality, and people wearing leather armor, carrying waists or holding weapons can often be seen on the road.

In Luo Ming's opinion, there are estimated hundreds of adventurers and mercenaries in this city.

Just as he was looking around, a soft scream suddenly sounded behind him, and it was very close to him.

(Actually let people touch such a close place, and really came to the city to relax...... Although he can sense the murderous aura, there are also people who lock the murderous aura and do not expose it, or keep the mirror and stop the water when killing, so you have to be careful. )

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he immediately turned around.

"Huh?"

A young girl was grabbing the wrist of a big boy, and the hand was going to reach in the direction of the money bag around her waist......

Despite the boy's struggle, the girl's body did not shake at all, as if it was rooted in the earth.

It is not surprising that the boy is a thief, or at least he wants to be a vote, and in the prosperity of modern civilization, there are still wicked people forcing children to steal.

But the girl caught Luo Ming's attention, and with just a momentary glance, she saw many unusual places.

It's nothing that her long pink hair is braided into a ponytail and falls on her chest, and Luo Ming, who has strange hair in this world, has seen a few of them with his own eyes - not to mention, the first person he met in this world, Lis, was still blue-haired.

But the girl in front of her was wearing a coarse cloth cloak, and it was faintly visible that she was wearing leather armor and a long sword.

Although the fingers are well maintained, they are not weak, and the abrasion marks left by the shallow grip of the weapon can be seen slightly, and the forearm also wears a bracer.

Although it looms under the cloak, it seems to be quite slender...... It is not that many women in previous lives have become thin and weak as a result of dieting alone, but that they have been exercising for a long time but have not developed the perfect form of excess muscle.

Although she had a sincere smile on her face, and she didn't look at him angrily even if she caught the thief, she had a resolute and awe-inspiring temperament hidden inside.

Luo Ming subconsciously compared her to one of his junior sisters. Sure enough, she is not an ordinary person, she is so young but has good martial arts, it is definitely not explained by any talent.

Ah, probably she is also a famous teacher and a high apprentice.

There is also the title of Sword Saint on the mainland, although his two masters can be said to be the top martial arts on the earth, and they will even be regarded as immortals in ancient times...... But it's not surprising that there are masters of a similar realm here.

Seeing that the other party was uneven, Luo Ming naturally had no intention of having a cold face, and was about to thank him with a smile, but the girl over there had already begun to teach the boy a lesson on her own.

"Even if you are poor, you can't be willing to fall, and if you are caught by others, won't your parents' hard work to raise you be in vain?"

As she spoke, she carefully counted fifteen copper coins from her purse, looked at the boy's ragged appearance, and his face was a little hungry, and after thinking about it, she took out five more copper coins and put them in the boy's hand.

"People will always encounter difficult moments, but after a while, life will always change, don't choose to give up so easily.

Well, my sister, my name is Granty, and I went to the Mercenary Guild to inquire about me, and everyone knows it. If you still have any trouble, you can come to me. ”

"But you're a big kid now, aren't you? You can help with the work at home, or you can go to the mines or the shop to do chores, or you can go to work as an apprentice with food and drink, and in two years you can become a full-time job.

It's better to be an upright person than to take a risk and steal like this, right? ”

I didn't expect the girl to say this, let alone the boy, even Luo Ming thought it made sense.

It is not a simple monetary aid and nothing else, as some Virgins in previous lives did, nor are they keyboard warriors who can just say beautiful things, but they solve urgent needs and make practical suggestions.

If the other party has more difficulties, he can still go to her for help, and even this situation is taken into account, which makes Luo Ming sincerely have a sense of admiration.
