After eating a hearty breakfast prepared by Saria in the early morning, and bringing a lunch box full of lunch, Murray said goodbye and went out.

Last night's fight between the three gangs didn't seem to have made much of a difference in the lower town, the streets were still bustling with pedestrians, and the shops on both sides of the street were open all day.

For most people in the lower town, they don't care about the gangsters, or the changes in the Empire.

They just want to live a small life in the lower city of the steel city, where they are not rich.

Probably because the gang had just finished fighting, Murray had a very smooth journey to work this morning, and he didn't meet any gangsters along the way.

Pedal on the scooter, I drove all the way out of the lower town, passing through the abandoned buildings outside the city, and saw the smoke and dust of the factory chimneys in the distance.

Arrived at the gate of the factory, just stepped into the factory, the window of the gatehouse was suddenly knocked open, and the gatekeeper Augustus poked his head out: "Murray, are you okay?"

Murray hurriedly saluted the gatekeeper respectfully: "It's okay, thank you for running for me yesterday." ”

Augustus responded with a smile: "It's okay, as long as you need it, Augustus can help you at any time." ”

Murray was really touched when he heard this, and bowed to the gatekeeper seriously: "Thank you very much. ”

Augustus was a little overwhelmed by such a polite Murry, and he was in a hurry for a while, before he remembered something and said, "You're welcome, by the way, there are two gangsters who have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Where is the person now, and he has not been discovered by the overseer?"

As if he knew what Murray was worried about, Augustus also replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, the person was taken over by Raul, in your sideshow." ”

Knowing that the two guys who came to find him were safe, and they were not discovered by the overseer of the factory sent by Viscount Lane, he was immediately relieved.

Murray smiled and took two steps back, and greeted the gatekeeper solemnly: "Uncle Concierge, may you have a good morning, I will go to work." ”

With Augustus still smiling a little hideous, he turned around and swaggered to his sidewalk.

"Gollum" pushed open the door of the handyman's room, and immediately saw two choir guys, one fat and one thin, waiting in it.

Seeing Murray push open the door and walk in, the fat man Paine suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, Roland, you said you were coming to see the big guy, is it this little guy?"

Roland ignored Paine, took the initiative to take two steps forward, and saluted respectfully: "Hello dear master, thank you for allowing me and Paine to follow. ”

Murray raised his hand to grab Roland, who was about to kneel down on one knee, and said with a smile, "I haven't promised to let you two follow me." ”

Hearing this, Roland was stunned for a moment, and the fat man Paine was immediately unhappy: "Hey, little ghost, what kind of attitude do you have? Roland and I came here early in the morning, and we didn't even go to the morning meeting at the choir, do you actually want to regret it now? Little ghost, tell you, Paine is the most powerful soldier in the choir, if you dare to go back, Paine will definitely make you regret it." ”

Hearing Paine's words, Murry looked at the fat man with a smile and interest, as if waiting for the fat man to make a move on him.

Seeing that he couldn't bluff the other party, Paine immediately rolled up his sleeves and had the posture of going to do it directly.

Seeing this, Roland hurriedly stopped the fat man, and then said to Murray very respectfully, "Your Excellency, please allow us to follow. ”

Murray smiled and responded, "Let you follow me, you must show me some of your skills, I don't need straw bales and rice buckets." ”

Paine immediately yelled angrily, "Stinky boy, who do you say is the rice bucket? Believe it or not, Paine smashed your head?"

But before Paine could make a move, Roland had already made the first move and directly slapped Paine on the back of the head.

Paine, who was slapped in the face, looked at Roland very unconvinced: "Why do you want to hit Paine? Paine is not a rice bucket." ”

Seeing that Paine seemed to be unconvinced, Murray pulled out a flintlock pistol from the leather pouch on his waist and aimed it directly at Paine's big face.

The atmosphere in the small workshop instantly became solemn, and Roland was stunned for a moment and quickly pleaded with Morry: "My lord, please forgive Paine, he has always been unintentional, and he did not mean to offend you. ”

Although Roland always dislikes Paine, in fact, the two grew up together, and they also came from the countryside to the steel city to make a living together.

It can be said that the two of them are really close friends, so after seeing Moli's marksmanship last night, they naturally know very well that Moli's bullets are not missing.

Even a fully armed Gatlin would be shot to death by finding his Achilles' heel, not to mention Paine's stunned young man.

However, hearing Roland begging for a teenager for himself made Paine feel very uncomfortable, and he yelled angrily: "If you want to kill, kill you, what nonsense? I don't believe it, if you kill Paine and continue to get away with it, the garrison will definitely bring you to justice." ”

Paine's roar frightened Roland, and he quickly tried to cover Paine's mouth, but it was too late.

At the moment when Roland reached out to cover his little mouth, Murray had already pulled the trigger of the flintlock pistol in his hand.

"Bang" Roland and Paine watched in horror, and as tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of their guns, black marbles came out of their disembowels.

Despair appeared in Roland's eyes, but he was already helpless, and it seemed that he could only watch Paine die.

The black marbles cut a beautiful arc in mid-air, like the arc raised by the corners of Murry's mouth, and actually went straight around Paine's large face plate and hit an iron plate in the handyroom behind Paine.

With a crisp sound, Roland and Paine looked at each other, and the fat man and the thin man stared at each other for a long time, and almost at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, like deflated balloons, the two of them hugged each other and collapsed in front of Mori.

Putting away the flintlock pistol in his hand, he stepped forward and smiled and lowered his head to ask the two, "How is it?

Hearing this, Paine suddenly got up, quickly ran to the iron plate behind him, and stared carefully at the unusual hole in the iron plate for a long time.

Then, Paine turned around and knelt down on one knee very solemnly: "Dear master, the apprentice knight Paine is willing to serve you. ”

Seeing Paine kneeling there on one knee and giving himself a very standard knightly salute, Murray asked with some surprise, "You, are you a standard cadet knight?"

Roland also came back to his senses at this time, got up and saluted very respectfully and explained: "Yes master, Paine has received standard knightly instruction. ”

Murray was even more surprised and asked, "Then why? Why are you willing to join the gang even after receiving the standard knightly teaching?"

Paine replied very bluntly, "Because, Roland said, we need to join the gang for a while so that we can stay in the city and have enough to eat." ”

Hearing Paine's answer, Murray was stunned for an instant, and then looked at Paine, who was kneeling there, and knew in his heart that this guy was really still a fool.

Roland immediately explained: "Master, you don't know, in fact, since the witch brought magic, the status of knights has not been as good as before, and now with the popularity of those spell-casting machines, the status of knights in the empire has been very low, so I have always asked Paine to hide the identity of the knight, and then the two of us joined the gang in order to be able to gain a foothold in the city." ”
