The girl named Nemo was met by Harry in the winter a year ago, when he went somewhere to heal as usual, and then somewhere to buy a pet for Althea as before, on the way, Harry found a girl in thin clothes, she was being chased by a vicious man in an overcoat with a wooden stick, because she was not wearing shoes, her feet had long been frozen and unconscious, and suddenly he didn't notice the obstacle under his feet, and he fell, and the hot bread in his arms spilled out of his arms and rolled down on the snow-covered ground, just when the man who arrived behind was about to teach the girl a lesson with the stick in his hand, Harry appeared, stopped his behavior, and paid for the girl, and the man left without resigned, and then it was Harry who gave him the money and the coat.
This theft case has nothing to do with this girl, she is just being used, it may be that 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 herself from the cold, the coats and shoes, daily necessities and food she bought, 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, such a hard life lasted for half a year, during which they secretly asked others for help, but all they got were ruthless cold eyes from othersAnd so many nasty words like getting out of the way, no one wants to help them, but they are filthy garbage, cold talk, and just when they are about to give up, the boy comes, and he saves 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 props 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 power? With the "Burning Life" magic props, people can restore precious magic power while consuming life force, which can make you recover in an instant and fight more durably.
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 class that is good at stealth and disguise, does not have high output damage and blood bull-like defense, but 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" You can steal items from enemies on the chosen target, and the probability of stealing what you want increases depending on the user's magic and proficiency, as well as complex conditions, which means that if you are fully prepared for the item you are going to steal, the probability of stealing that thing will be very 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.
