Chapter 1: The Thief

It was a quiet and peaceful morning, the morning sun shining on the soft dew, reflecting the temperature of the early morning, and it was also the best day of the year in Karl City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Stop me, you goddamn foreign thief!" Suddenly, a roar and frantic footsteps broke the silence.

Lin Ye ran fast on the street, his hands tightly covering the bread in his arms, and the soles of his feet slipped from time to time, but he couldn't stop. He dodged and jumped into the alley on the side of the street, leaning against the cold wall, his rapid breathing being held by him. The few people who were chasing after him ran past him like this, and they didn't find Lin Ye hiding on the side.

Lin Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, took out the bread in his arms and looked at it, the "cooing" sound in his stomach caused a revolution, and he didn't know how much saliva increased. But he swallowed his saliva back with hunger, and after making sure the bread was not broken, he stuffed it back into his arms. He slowly slipped down against the wall and sat on the ground, looking up at the sky from the narrow gap in the alley with his head up, his heart full of complexity.

He had never stolen, at least not before. His parents had taught him that he should never steal, but he became more and more confused about why he couldn't steal.

Five years ago, the Loulan Dynasty of the Fama Continent launched a war led by his family in an attempt to unify all the feudal states, but unexpectedly the war was defeated, and his family suffered heavy casualties. In order to continue the bloodline, he was forced to migrate to Ion, even if Ion was threatened by evil gods day and night. But the most dangerous place is the safest place, and the hostile forces do not come to hunt them down. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, half a year ago, a group of undead who broke through the army blockade broke through the village where his family was located, and the short-lived peace dissipated in an instant. He was the only one in the family who escaped, and until now, he had been awakened every night by a pair of eyes that danced with pale blue flames.

Lin Ye slapped his forehead vigorously, forcing himself to forget all his chaotic thoughts.

He slowly stood up and muttered to himself as he walked down the street with his head down, "Amy wait for me a little longer, just a little later." ”

But after a few steps, Lin Ye was picked up by a fat hand, and when he looked up, the face of the bakery owner and his two buddies came into view.

"Good boy has finally caught you, dare to steal my bread, is it too cheap to live a long life?

"I ...... My friend was dying, and he thought...... He wanted to taste the bread again, it was his last ...... A final wish. Lin Ye was frightened like this, and he couldn't speak well when he was carried in mid-air.

But such a fragmented performance has a different meaning in the eyes of the bakery owner.

He pressed Lin Ye against the wall with one hand, "Cut, it turns out that you can speak the lingua franca, but stealing a loaf of bread and looking for this kind of reason, you treat me as an idiot? You look like a habitual thief!"

"I ...... What I'm saying is true...... Trust me. Lin Ye gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said with difficulty.

"It doesn't matter if you're real or not, just throw it to the guards and it's all over!" the bakery owner yelled again.

With that, he raised his other hand, wanting to carry Lin Ye on his shoulder. The absolute crushing of the strength did not allow Lin Ye to break free, Lin Ye was in a hurry, and kicked him between his legs.

The bakery owner let out a scream like a pig, and rolled on the ground with his hands on his lower body.

"****** Gentile miscellaneous. Kind, you wait for me! Wait for me to catch you and skin you!"

"You two leave me alone, chase, chase him to death, I will be rewarded!"

......

Lin Ye heard the curse behind him, and shuttled through the alley without looking back. He feared the guards more than the bakery's threats, and most of those who fell into the hands of the guards died tragically, while a few were sent to the front to fight the undead - to put it bluntly, as cannon fodder.

No matter which outcome it was, Lin Ye was afraid, and his friend's last wish had not yet been fulfilled.

After running for a while, Lin Ye gasped and stopped, "You won't catch up again this time, will you...... Belch. ”

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is still cruel, and the boss's buddy just ran out of the alley.

"You kid, you can run like this, and you kicked that dead fat man, it's really relieving. Haha, but I can't let you go, after all, there's a reward for catching you. The guy smiled wickedly.

Lin Ye scolded secretly, but his body was not sluggish. He grabbed an earthen jar and threw it at the man, then turned around and ran.

As he ran, he picked up all the bamboo poles leaning against the wall, and from time to time grabbed something and threw it behind him. The alleys extended in all directions, and in Lin Ye's left and right, he ran to the square, which was only two streets away from his destination.

There were already more pedestrians in the square, and Lin Ye believed that as long as they got into the crowd, they would definitely not be able to catch themselves. Thinking about it, he fell down as soon as his feet went limp, and slid some distance on the wet and slippery ground of the square.

When he struggled to get up, the boss's voice rang out, and at the same time, a wooden stick with the thickness of Lin Ye's forearm also came to him, "Run, I'll see how you run!"

The viscous and bright dazzling liquid slipped from Lin Ye's face, and he desperately clutched the bread in his arms, leaning sideways to endure the punches and kicks of the three.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Ye was numb to the pain, but the arm on his chest was still protecting the bread with his last strength.

Hold on, just hold on for a little longer, and it'll be over when they're done venting. Lin Ye silently recited this sentence over and over again.

"It's boring to beat people up like this, so let's have some fun. The boss spoke again.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Ye was picked up by the boss again and fell heavily to the ground, and the bread in his arms was also taken away by him. Lin Ye raised his hand and wanted to catch it back, but he was thrown to another guy by the boss. He slowly moved his numb body and crawled towards the man. The guy deliberately stepped back, and when Lin Ye crawled in front of him, he smiled and threw it to the second guy.

After repeating this more than ten times, Lin Ye was completely exhausted and lay motionless on the ground. Most of the onlookers remained silent, some turned their heads with a hint of pity and reluctance, while a few looked at the result with mocking expressions.

The boss cursed again, shouting and throwing the bread in front of Lin Ye, "Oh, I'll give you food for free." ”

Lin Ye raised his head slightly, his right hand trembled and stretched out to the bread, and when he was about to touch the bread, the bread was crushed by the boss.

"Haha, come and eat, Gentile Miscellaneous. Species!"

In Lin Ye's eyes, it was not only the bread that was scattered, but also his friend's last wish. When he wandered here, he might have died without the help of his friends.

Lin Ye screamed strangely and bit the boss's leg, and the boss kicked Lin Ye away in pain.

"I ...... Huh?" the boss was about to scold, but saw a ray of light on Lin Ye's chest.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a crystal-like pendant, and immediately ripped it off and put it in his hand to examine it. It is a prismatic light blue pendulum with a total of seven edges, with slightly pointed ends and the top end fixed to the rope with metal. Looking at the sunlight from different angles, it seems that you can see other colors circulating, and the heart of the person who looks at it seems to be attracted to it.

The boss took the pendulum and looked at it, secretly guessing the value of the pendulum, obviously he had lost interest in Lin Ye.

"Boy, you stole this thing too, right?" the boss laughed and kept staring at the pendulum, "Yes, yes, you have a good eye for stealing, so let's take this thing as compensation for me." ”

As he spoke, the boss beckoned the guy to leave, and his eyes never left the pendulum.

In the midst of people's sighs, Lin Ye didn't know where to get the strength to grab the boss's foot with one hand, "It's still ...... Back...... Give it back to me, that's me...... What my parents left me. ”

The boss's mind immersed in the spirit pendulum was pulled back by Lin Ye, he turned his head and glared at Lin Ye angrily, "Little mongrel from a foreign country, you want to die in such a hurry?" Okay, I'll fulfill you!"

The wooden stick in the boss's hand smashed at Lin Ye again.
