In March of the 566th year of the Altino calendar, the free city of Siam

Siam, a middle-level city in the Free City Alliance, has an average economy, although there is a water and land meeting at the same time, but because of the congenital obstacles, it is difficult to have any great development, and the only feature is its unique southern style.

Siam's climate is like summer all year round, and in June and July, the city is no different from a stove, and now it is only a March day, and the scorching sun is still drowsy.

However, another city, just a hundred miles away, Sgoethe, has not yet escaped the shroud of winter snow, permeating a silvery world, in fact, the city is like winter all year round, and there is not much chance of warming up.

Hundreds of miles apart, the top is the same sky, and the reason why there is such a strange climate difference can only be attributed to the extreme chaos of the regional magnetic field.

Magnetic field is the general term of natural energy that exists in a place, and it can cause many incredible effects when it is done outside.

An archipelago delta off the western coast of the Ice Continent is recognized as a first-class danger zone with unstable magnetic fields, and merchant ships passing through this area often go missing for no apparent reason and have never been found.

The most striking feature of the Free City is the most unstable area of the Continent of Winds, such as the scorching heat of Siam, or the unstable situation of 50 degrees Celsius yesterday and minus 30 degrees Celsius today.

After tens of millions of years of research, the organisms on the continent have gradually been able to control the magnetic field within a certain range. For example, setting up large-scale barriers at the boundaries of cities to keep one city hot all year round and another city cold all year round, or locking the originally very different weather days on certain days, such as making a city sunny all year round, but as soon as July arrives, the sky changes overnight, and the heavy rain for the next month is too many to mention.

"Long, Long, Long!"

There were a few muffled sounds faintly in the distance, the sound of a large number of people and horses approaching.

This is the place where several main roads into the city must pass, and the breeze full of heat brings up the sand and dust on the ground and blows it. A sturdy young man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and cursed: ", why is your luck so bad today, Uncle Ben has been waiting for a morning, and half a fat sheep can't wait, it's really his grandmother's." ”

From the morning until now, it's not really that no one has passed. In fact, there were not only people, but many of them, so many that they were one or two hundred people together, and such a large scale was certainly not something that Lancelot, a stupid bandit, could eat.

Due to the long-term excessive gap between the rich and the poor, the security of the Wind Continent is not very good, except for Reins Tyren and a few regions, the rest of the countries can be said to be in constant trouble, as long as there is a natural disaster, it will cause a famine at any time, causing large-scale civil uprisings, if you encounter the bad officials who govern again, a turmoil is inevitable.

The common people were extremely poor and hungry, and the big ones rebelled, and the small ones became thieves, so of course the law and order was not good.

Even if there is no famine, there is also a popular concept among the younger generation at present, "thieves are the best profession to become famous and accumulate strength", compared with honestly practicing martial arts, wandering the rivers and lakes, and having to endure a depressed life before breaking into the famous hall; going directly to the sea to become a thief is undoubtedly a shortcut. Not only can you plunder a lot of money and women, but you can also justifiably test the sword with people, and enhance your martial arts through actual combat, what practice is more comfortable than this?

However, being a thief is not completely risk-free, after all, there are not soft persimmons everywhere, so unless you really have considerable confidence in your own martial arts, most of them will choose to join the thief group.

Therefore, a well-known bandit of thieves, which attracts even more attention than a knight order of the same level, will often attract many fledgling young people to join automatically, in the hope of quickly becoming famous. Even some famous knights, in order to make huge profits, or take the opportunity to settle personal grudges, also joined or formed their own thieves groups.

In terms of classification, Lancelot belongs to the former, while many of the rest of the famous warriors belong to the latter.

For these reasons, it is natural that there are thieves all over the mainland, and the local government cannot catch them, and sometimes they are not even opponents. In such a situation, the merchant traveler had to seek more blessings for himself, hire mercenaries, or go on the road in a group to make a strong appearance. A caravan of one or two hundred people is simply a common thing that can no longer be common, and only a stupid thief like Lancelot would not take it into account.

"I'm so thirsty...... Ahh

He got the news that there was a big deal going on in Siam recently, and many thieves in the Free City got the news and rushed here to get a piece of the pie. Since this is a good opportunity to revive his performance and make a name for himself, he also heard the news, and now he wants to make some small money before entering the city.

"No matter, wait another quarter of an hour, if no one comes, Uncle Ben will go directly into the city. It's a robbery to go inside, it's a robbery here, why do you want to bask in the sun here!"

Discouraged by his performance, Lancelot had to comfort himself in this way, no matter how he said it, he was a thief...... Uh! The future thief, such a petty business, really does not fit with his identity, and he can't do it......

"Somebody's coming. ”

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps not far away, and it sounded like he was alone, and he was a good target for attack, and Lancelot was ecstatic, and ducked into the ambush position, waiting for the fat sheep to enter the trap.

Listening to the footsteps, Lancelot couldn't help but be a little excited, since he left Hangzhou, he was determined to be a thief, during this period, he also did more than a dozen cases, but they were all started with other people, and the number of failures was the majority, like this with personal ability, it was the first time, and it was inevitable that he was nervous.

"Three, two, one......" Lancelo counted the time silently, confirmed that the time had come, and ran out of the ambush with a low shout.

"Stop! Don't ......"

Lancelot scolded as he strode out. He has thought about it thoroughly, relying on his burly physique, as soon as he comes up, he will take the lead, overwhelm the other party with a fierce momentum, and let the fat sheep obediently present the purse.

Who knows, the talent rushed out, and before the shouting of "don't move" was finished, a shouting and shouting of killing suddenly rose on both sides, Lancelot was stunned, and his first reaction was that he was ambushed, but he was surrounded by people, but most of the shouting and killing stopped halfway, but it became a strange silence.

(What the hell?)

Looking to the left and right, six or seven thieves of different ages and dresses, armed with weapons, ran out from several places. The look of surprise on their faces proved that they were not the same partners, but they just chose to be here and picked up the same fat sheep.

After understanding the whole situation, the shouting of killing started again, and everyone waved their knives at the person closest to them, fighting to the death first.

"Alas, the economy is in recession, and even being a robber is vicious competition, it's miserable!" Lancelot sighed, and kicked a stinky thief who was screaming at him down, and ran to his target first.

The fat sheep seemed to be frightened, and sat down on the ground trembling all over, Lancelot took the lead, ran to him, and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Ben is just asking for money, as long as you obediently hand over the money on your body, Uncle Ben will protect you ......" said while looking down, and see who was so lucky to become the first victim of King Lancelot's trip.

It's okay not to look at it, but this look, it only made Lancelot angry, and I saw a short and fat young man, his face was like earth, his body was full of fat and shaking, and a pair of red eyes were actually like cats, narrowing into a slit.

Lancelot yelled, "What are you doing? Uncle Ben has been in ambush for a long time, and he actually ran into a Shetter!"

The Shet, the same as the Great Demon God King, is a taboo in the Wind Continent, but unlike the taboo of the Great Demon God King, there is a taboo about the Shet, probably in this form - "This place is a high-end restaurant, and dogs and Shetters are forbidden to enter." ”

Legend has it that in the mythological era, there was a race that assisted the gods to open up the world, but because of their greed, arrogance, and extreme greed for money, they forgot the gifts of the gods, and committed many evil deeds, so they were punished by the gods. This people are the Shet people.

The Shet do not have an independent country, they belong to the mobile people, they travel all over the mainland, relying on divination, odd jobs, and running orders...... Waiting for a living as a handyman, it is not so much that they love to travel, but that there is an urge in their blood to not be able to live in one place for a long time. Some believe that this is part of the curse of the gods.

They are despised by the peoples of the mainland, and even the lowest dwarf races look down on them, this is of course not because of the relationship of mythology, but because the national character of the Shets is extremely despicable, they are timid, cowardly, noisy, lustful, when they encounter danger, they immediately scatter in a hurry, if they can't disperse, then they will scramble to sell their friends for glory, there is a saying: "There are no Shetters who died in battle, only the Shetters who surrendered and were slaughtered; there is no unity in the world, only the Shetters who fought to betray each other and trampled to death." ”

In history, in almost all mythological poems, there are Shetters, who have played the role of all courtiers and villains without exception, and almost every famous hero has a record of being betrayed by the Shets. It is said that the ancestors of the Sheters, at the end of the mythological age, even betrayed their teacher, the savior of a sacred religion, and crucified him. This is, of course, only a page in the sordid history of the Sheters.

Every race regards the Shet as a snake and scorpion, and in fact, just from the name "Shet", it is not difficult to understand the contempt of the mainland races, and even regard their race as a symbol of bad luck.

In the case of Lancelot, the first time he robbed alone, the object was a Shet, of course, this was a big thing, how could he not help but be angry.

Then he caught a glimpse of the shher man in rags, covered in dirt, poor and sour statue, who must be poorer than himself, and had only a few drops of oil and water after squeezing it dry, and in anger, he shouted: ", why are you here?" ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

"Bastard, why are you a man?"

"I ...... I don't want to!"

The Shet is notoriously timid, and at this time, he gave Lancelot a fierce question, almost frightened to the point of flying feces and urine, and then saw the snow bright knife light dangling in front of him, his heart was broken, he put his head in both hands, and cried: "Don't ...... Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

"Hey, ...... the valuables"

"Wow! Don't kill me, I don't know anything. ”

"Hey!"

"Whoa, God, any god is fine, I don't want to die yet......"

Every time Lancelot yelled, the shet just trembled, hugged his head and cried, which made him not know what to do.

When robbing, the party being robbed does not resist and cooperates, which is very good! However, if you meet such a guy who knows nothing but crying, it is also a very nerve-wracking thing.

Lancelot was bored, and knocked out a thief who ran to pick up the bargain with a backhand punch, and sighed: "Forget it, Uncle Ben will let you go, get out!"

As if the amnesty was about to be granted, the Shet looked up tremblingly, glanced at Lancelot, and immediately screamed in horror.

"Wow!

"Why are you so annoying! Didn't you say I wouldn't kill you?"

Before he finished speaking, something bloody swept in front of him and rolled to the ground, it was a human head.

Lancelot looked back, and four men in yellow clothes appeared quietly, stabbing a few thieves who were still in the melee, killing them easily, and striking steadily and heavily, not ordinary bandits.

"Hmph! With this little bit of Taoism, I dare to go to Siam to live in the future, I am really tired. ”

A man in yellow hacked the last thief to death with a knife and threw it down to mock. The other two, after finishing off the people who had been knocked unconscious by Lancelot just now, reported to the man in yellow led by him.

Lancelot watched coldly, these four people were all wearing khaki clothes, the style of clothing was the same, it was obvious that they were from the same family, and there was a "stone" word embroidered on their chests, referring to their origins.

"Brother Dare Zhen, the ideas have been settled, it's all crumbish, it's very easy!"

"Everyone is doing a great job. Shi Kangzhen, the leader of the yellow-clothed people, said: "Free City has never been an upscale place, and the dog-eyed ones are much smaller. This time, the eldest prince came in person and assigned the eldest partner to clean the road, we have to work harder, not to embarrass the eldest prince, and let those guys in the Dongfang family who are above the top know what our Shi family can do. ”

"There's a big guy over there, what should I do?"

"Killed. ”

"There's also a fat man, not a thief, but shet, but shet, ...... or not"

"Kill it too! Keep it in the way, and let you practice a little more experience by the way. ”

The four of them spoke to themselves, not glancing at Lancelot next to them.

Lancelot was furious when he heard this, raised the long knife in his hand, and shouted, "Fuck it, come over here, Uncle Ben will slaughter you all one by one!"

The three of them came in response, all with contemptuous expressions on their faces, and they looked down on this unremarkable boy at all. Lancelot rushed out first, and immediately confronted a man in yellow, stabbing him straight at the door as he swung his knife at his left shoulder.

"Damn, what a ruthless boy!"

The man in yellow was taken aback, but he didn't expect the enemy to defend or hide, and directly responded with the same way of fighting, and was forced to withdraw and retreat. The two people next to them were stunned by this desperate play, came back to their senses, and attacked Lancelot on the left and right.

However, when the contest is divided by life and death, for Lancelot, who has grown up on the edge of countless lives and deaths, the moment when the enemy is stunned is the opportunity to decide everything.

Before the left and right sides were encircled, he took the lead in crashing into the arms of the man on the left, and the knife was slanted upward, immediately ending him, and then the sword wind behind him slashed down, and he turned back sharply, taking advantage of the speed to swing the knife horizontally, cutting off the steel knife in the opponent's hand and half of the head at once.

The man in yellow, who had already gone back and retreated, only then did he hold his body steadily, and when he was about to go up again, he saw that the enemy had killed two of his companions in a blink of an eye, and he was so frightened that he retreated.

"Brother Dare Zhen, the idea is too hard, hurry up and help!"

"Useless stuff!"

Shi Kangzhen scolded angrily, angry at the ugliness of his soldiers, and at the same time surprised that he had made a mistake in judgment. Originally, he looked at the appearance and movements of this big man, not like he had any superb martial arts, but he was just agile and strong. Who knew that as soon as the battle began, the three soldiers gave him a desperate momentum to mess up the formation, and the opponent's movements were amazingly "agile", so that he lost two of his subordinates at once.

Pulling the remaining man aside, Shi Kangzhen looked at the enemy. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his appearance can be called mighty, as if he has seen this person somewhere. Holding a thin and slender blade in his hand, emitting a cold light, he was able to easily cut off the matching knives under his subordinates just now.

The weapons of the four of them were all thick-backed heavy knives specially made by the family, and according to the shape of the blades, the long knife should have been easily broken, but now it was cut off, and it seemed that the knife was not extraordinary.

"Who are you? In which country's army have you been?" Seeing that this person's martial arts skills are not high, but he is full of fierceness, Shi Ganzhen thought to himself that maybe he was born in the military, so he asked first.

"I'm ...... Don't talk nonsense, take out your valuable things, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, otherwise you will be killed immediately. Lancelot wanted to show off, but thinking that he was here to investigate, it was not appropriate to make a statement, so he simply went back to the business.

Shi Ganzhen said contemptuously: "It turned out to be a gutless bandit. If you kill my Shi family's children, according to my clan rules, I will cut off your limbs, abandon you here, and bleed to death. Then you'll regret why you didn't kill yourself in the first place!"

"What so much nonsense!" said Lancelot, "I'm going to slash you right now!"

"What did you say?" Shi Kangzhen's mind flashed, and he was surprised when he thought of someone.

"I said I'll cut you with a knife!" thirst and hunger, Lancelot didn't talk nonsense anymore, his hand tightened, and he swung his knife and pounced.

(Sure enough, it's him, and he's rich today!)

In the wanted images of various countries in his mind, Shi Kangzhen thought of the identity of the enemy, and was surprised, and was surprised to meet this person, happy that this person's martial arts were too different from the rumors, and he would be able to easily make a lot of money.

Lancelot raised his knife and slashed, Shi Kangzhen used a matching knife, was cut in two, and took advantage of the slight slowness of the knife, and his palms slammed into Lancelot's chest.

He is well-known in the family, and in terms of martial arts, he is indeed much stronger than Lancelot at this moment, and these two palms hit out with all his strength, slamming into Lancelot's chest, thinking that a blow would make him fall to the ground. Unexpectedly, when he spit out his palm, he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and Lancelot had a stunned expression.

"You idiot, don't use internal force ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lancelot screamed, followed by a strong internal force that was many times stronger than he didn't know.

This internal force is not only strong and domineering, but the strength is even more scorching, like a burst of magma rushing around, Shi Kangzhen bore the brunt, his arms were like being burned, he was shocked far away, and flew dozens of feet back, and when he fell, both arms were scorched black, and he rolled on the ground in pain. The only remaining man in yellow was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away with him.

Lancelot only felt dizzy and sat on the ground, only to hear the other party leave a miserable howl: "Liu Yidao, you wait, our Shi family will not let you go!"

Since leaving Hangzhou, he has gradually come into contact with martial arts knowledge, and found that he has an extremely domineering and powerful internal force stored in his body, but no matter what internal strength mantra he tries, it will immediately lead to a violent rejection of the true qi in his body, and he cannot control it.

Where this internal force comes from, he doesn't know anything, but when he encounters external force, he will protect his body and fight back, and the external force is powerful, and the power of the backlash is even more terrifying, but the pain he bears in his body is also greater, although he can adapt a little now, but if he meets a master, sometimes the effect is very amazing.

The words that the other party left when he left it made Lancelot scratch his head and was inexplicable. I came here for reconnaissance, and the robbery failed, but I had a confused fight with these uninvited guests, killed two people, looked around, except for the dead, the living ran clean, the money was not earned, and the thing was not done, it was really good for no reason.

"What is this guy talking about?"

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and Lancelot wiped the bloodshot from the corners of his mouth and decided to go into the city first to quench his hunger. But how can I be penniless and have no money to eat?

Simply among the two bodies that fell, he searched for a few strings of copper coins to solve the economic problem, and Lancelot turned around and entered the city.
