The sun slowly rises, banishing the darkness of the night.

"Well" Christa's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly opened.

"Where is this?" Christa looked around, and around her was the cold wall, and the only place where the light came from one side was sealed by an iron barricade made of steel, and although she had never been to this place, the knowledge of life had taught her that this was the cell.

Krista tried to get up, but felt her body sink and a force from her arm pulled her back down. Only then did she realize that she and Iri were tied together by a hemp rope the thickness of a child's arm.

"Miss, what's wrong. Because of Christa's struggle, Iri's confused voice came.

"Stupid Iri, we're all tied up, and you still have the time to sleep!" said Christa, writhing with more force. She is a martial artist herself, although she is a woman, her physical strength is much stronger than that of Yi Ri, and by her twist, Yi Ri is like a poor rag doll, dumped by the angry little master.

Just then, the sound of a cell door opening interrupted her as she struggled.

"Please don't do useless struggles, this is a rope made of bigfoot bear hamstrings, you can't break it. As long as you cooperate with me, I will naturally untie the rope for you after asking you some questions. ”

Christa was stunned for a moment, and looked at the source of the voice, that person was none other than Chief Ryan of the Security Department, needless to say, she also understood that she must have been stunned by the star, and then caught by Ryan, who woke up early.

"I didn't steal the falling star. Christa immediately snapped.

"I know, but the loss of the falling star has nothing to do with you, and now that we are both victims, I want you to tell us what you know. Ryan said indifferently, what he was referring to was naturally what happened after he fell unconscious.

When Rien said the word "same victim", Christa asked suspiciously, "Fellow victims?"

Ryan nodded expressionlessly. "Yes, I'm sorry to tell you that you have been stolen, anything of value has been stolen, and so have your companions behind you. ”

"Everything of value?" Christa didn't quite understand Ryan's words at first, but at this moment, a breeze blew, and Christa's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful pretty face turned red at once, and she finally understood what all valuable things were.

As a young lady with a big background, Christa naturally does not wear heavy clothes to keep out the cold like ordinary people, for the sake of beauty, her underwear is blessed by magic, which can not only keep warm, but also has good defense, even if she stands under the biting wind, she will not feel cold. However, the faint cold wind invaded her skin, which was enough to mean that her underwear with magical warmth blessings had been stripped away.

"How! Chrissy was ashamed and angry. The man who once occupied a great deal of brilliance in her heart suddenly became obscene.

"Miss Christa, what's wrong, what have you lost?" Irri, apparently sensing Christa's anger, immediately asked with concern.

"Shut up, it's none of your business!" Christa's face turned redder, and of course he couldn't tell Iri that he had lost his underwear, so he could only clench his fists and whisper through gritted teeth, "Bastard, that bastard!"

Ryan didn't find it strange to see this, the same scene happened when he first woke up, the hateful thief, even the gold-plated badges he had once obtained, were looted by the other party.

"Well, please tell me what happened after I fell unconscious, and maybe we can work together. ”

Christura was still in a rage at this time, snorted, and said coldly: "Why should I tell you, what use can you be a little sheriff. ”

Rien didn't show displeasure at Krista's contempt, but said lightly: "Of course you don't tell me, then I can only do my part and report this matter." I believe that you have a good background, but may God bless you, the royal family does not value the falling stars. ”

"You bastard!"

In the northeast corner of the bustling city of Prontera, there is a simple bungalow area, which belongs to the common people. This civilian area is so out of place with the skyscrapers of the main city that many officials have tried to renovate it, but they have been rejected.

The reason for the rejection was not that the plan they proposed was flawed, but because there was a person living here, who simply said, "I'm too old to move around." This is how the bungalow area has existed to this day. This man did not hold any position in the Kingdom of Rune, let alone a member of the royal family, but the weight of his words was no less than that of his holy decree. He is the Great Sage of the Kingdom of Rune and is known as the greatest man of the millennia.

Abner, this is his name, maybe not many people know him, but this name is comparable to the gods in the kingdom of Rune. Fifty years ago, the Kingdom of Lune faced the greatest crisis in its history, when a giant meteorite fell from the sky and landed in the southwestern city of Monrok, smashing a sinkhole. Then a large number of monsters poured out of the sinkhole, and the state immediately dispatched troops to encircle and suppress these monsters.

At first, it was possible to limit the spread of monsters, but soon the situation changed when a giant monster with terrifying power appeared. The monster was known as the Demon King of Monrok, and as soon as he appeared, he swept away the army of the kingdom at that time, and almost destroyed the city of Monrok. For the Demon King of Monrok, the country dispatched eighty percent of the adventurers above level ninety in the country, the strongest dragon knight legion, and even ten divine envoys, but they were still helpless. In desperation, the kingdom was forced to decide to shrink its defenses, and the city of Monrok was divided into a land of relinquishment.

Neither the people nor the country can see any hope of retaking Monroc, and even worry about the safety of the country. And all of this has changed because of one person, and that is Abner. Abner was already a famous sage at the time, and he entered the sinkhole alone, and everyone thought he was dead. However, a month later, Abner actually returned, and all of Monrok's monsters returned to the sinkhole, and the Monrok Demon King did not reappear, and even the sinkhole was sealed by an invisible magic.

No one knows what Abner did in it, and Abner didn't say anything, but that didn't stop him from becoming a savior, a man to be admired by all nations

Starmark came to a relatively quiet corner of the civilian quarter, where there was a set of three suites side by side, which was the destination of Starmark's trip and the residence of the Great Sage Abner. If you don't know, I'm afraid you can't imagine that a thief's teacher would be the savior of the people, the greatest great man.

As soon as he walked outside the house, before Starmark could knock on the door, he saw the door open, and a middle-aged man in his fifties and dressed in a fancy costume walked out of the room. When he saw the star mark, the humility on his face immediately turned to disdain and disgust.

"Second Senior Brother, hello. Starmark didn't care about the disgust on his face, and took the initiative to bow down and say hello.

The man didn't buy it, and snorted coldly: "I don't agree that you are my junior brother, so please call me Duke Krell in the future." ”

After hearing this, Starmark's eyes were obviously a little dim, but he didn't reply, just nodded slightly.

Krell looked at the star mark coldly and snorted, "Why did you come here?" ”

Starmark lowered his head: "I'm here to visit the teacher." ”

"Hmph. Krell's snort was noticeably louder this time: "You have to remember your identity, you are a thief, your identity will stain the glory of the teacher's life, if you are still grateful to the teacher, please don't appear again, your appearance will only bring us trouble." ”

After a pause, Krell continued: "By the way, also, take away your thieves quickly, I really don't know what the teacher thinks, and I don't think it's an eyesore." After saying that, Krell didn't wait for Starmark to reply, and shook the door of the house and threw his sleeves away.

Starmark was silent when he heard this, and he raised his hand to knock on the door, but he was only half an inch away from the door, but he couldn't get down. He was not angry because of Krel's words, the other party was right, Abner had seven disciples in his life, except for him, they were all proud sons of the sky, dragons and phoenixes among people. For example, the fifth disciple Andrei I saw before is the deputy commander of the Dragoon Legion, the youngest god of war, and the second disciple Krel, who has just left, the first executive officer under the emperor's throne, can be said to be the existence of more than 10,000 people under one person in the country at present, as for the others, they are not important members of the court, but also university scholars or powerful people on the rich side, and only he is a thief.

"Maybe I really shouldn't be here again" Starmark sighed as he looked at the quaint wooden door, and his raised hand slowly drooped down, never landing on the door.

Just as Starmark was about to turn to leave, an old man's call came from inside the room.

"Is the sixth child here? It's a cold day, don't stand stupidly outside. With the sound of the voice, the closed door opened, and a warm current rushed out of the room, hitting Starmark's body, not only expelling the cold from his body, but also washing away the cold in his heart.

I saw an old man standing in the room with a slightly fat body and a white beard, who was waving at him with a kind smile.

Seeing the old man, Xingji suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, he hadn't been here for a long time, and the teacher's appearance was even older than before, but that warm smile had never changed.

Starmark took a light breath, calmed his somewhat excited mood with the cold air, bowed to the old man, and walked into the room.

The flames in the fireplace beat to protect the house from the cold winter.

The layout of the house is very simple, it is similar to the private houses where ordinary people live, if there is any difference, that is, next to the desk in the study, a long table is specially placed, on which seven items are placed.

These seven items are different, with a scepter, a sword, and a tome. These seven things were given by seven of Abner's disciples, and in the place of the sixth of them, a long sword was placed, which belonged to the star mark and was also the thief in Krel's mouth.

Abner looked at the star marks and spoke first: "Yes, it is worthy of being my Abner's disciple, and he is getting more and more handsome, hahaha." He didn't ask why Starmark hadn't been here for many years, nor did he ask Starmark about his condition over the years, but only praised Starmark's appearance, so that Starmark wouldn't be embarrassed.

Starmark smiled and nodded, he understood the teacher's intentions, but his heart was still a little sour, and he didn't know what to respond.

At this time, Abner continued: "Among the seven disciples, the three of you don't reassure me the most, especially the fifth, who are in their thirties, and don't hurry up to get married and have children, as well as you and the seventh, you have to hurry, otherwise the good girls have been snatched away by others, my Abner's disciple, if you end up playing single, or don't marry a good woman, then it won't make people laugh out of their big teeth!"

Abner's words would definitely make the jaws of those who heard them drop if they were heard by others, no one could have imagined that the savior of the Kingdom of Rune, the wisest great sage, would be able to say such a thing, even Starmark was stunned when he heard it, but this sentence also played a sufficient role to completely expel the sourness that had shrouded Starmark's heart before.

"Fifth brother is young, he looks like he is only in his early twenties, and he is already at his Xuanli level, and his appearance will not change in another twenty years, so don't worry. Lao Qi is only sixteen years old, and there will naturally be good things in the future, so it's too early to worry about it. Starmark defended his brother.

Unexpectedly, Abner raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be angry: "The fifth and seventh are not worried, I am worried about you, how old do you say, do you have a partner, if you have one, bring it quickly and let me see, my old bones can't survive for a few years, if I can't hold your grandson, even if I die, I won't be blind." ”

Abner's words, he didn't mean this at all, just to help his brother speak, who knew that it would be on himself. But no matter what, the teacher's words warmed his heart, and at the same time, he also grasped the place he cared about from Abner's words.

"Teacher, how is your health?"

Abner smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and slapped it twice on his chest, making two muffled sounds, and laughed: "Tough, you can't die." If I don't say that, you little bunnies can come back and see me?"

Starmark smiled when he heard this, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes, maybe ordinary people couldn't hear it, but as an adventurer with a Xuanli level of more than eighty, Starmark could easily hear from the sound of Abner tapping his body, Abner's body was not as good as before, and the empty voice represented the atrophy of the organs in his body, although Starmark didn't know much about medicine, he could also sense that Abner didn't have much time left, and he was already in his last years.

It wasn't until after dinner that Starmark said goodbye to Abner and left. Since he came, he wanted to accompany Abner more, and at the same time, he quietly used his own methods to find out Abner's physical condition.

After leaving, Starmark did not return to his residence, nor did he immediately leave Prontera City to listen to Andre's visit to avoid the limelight, but went to a bar.
