Chapter 165: Acquaintance

After a conversation with Starr, Leo took up residence in an unnamed orphanage in the outer city of Peynes.

In this regard, ten of the orphanage

"Little Beanding" looked at him curiously, for the orphanage, guests are very, very rare, especially this guest, who is also the teacher of Starr's brother, an extremely rare Candlestar swordsmanship.

The orphanage's nominal owner, Karin, an elderly woman who had been a nun in the past, also met with Leo.

Sister Karin welcomed Leo's arrival, but unfortunately the orphanage was short of supplies, otherwise she would have to entertain Leo well.

Sister Karin had always known that Starr was out there

"Dangerous and improper" work, she also understands, all this is due to the orphanage's drag, for this, Karin feels guilty, but she is too old to help, and she is also willing to help.

It is undoubtedly a great thing that a professional is now willing to take Starr as a disciple and teach him his skills and lead him on the right path.

And Leo also has respect for this old nun. In the case of no payment, the old nun Karin was alone, in this nameless orphanage, pulling so many helpless orphans, and it would be impossible to replace him.

Such a person is always worthy of admiration. There weren't enough rooms in the orphanage, and Leo didn't need to sleep, and for him, meditation was enough to replace sleep.

From the next day, Starr began to recuperate physically under the guidance of Leo. Most of the white grade marine fish that Leo buys is used to make dried fish to extend the shelf life, and a small part is stewed in soup.

Fresh fish broth, mostly for Starr to drink, is complemented by a little bit of fish. The fish soup made from white-grade fish has a rich and mild nutritional energy, which is very effective for a boy like Starr who has been undernourished for a long time.

On the contrary, it is fish, which contains too much energy, and it is harmful for Starr to eat too much. As for the other children in the orphanage, Leo still couldn't afford to let them follow with the white-grade fish soup.

He took 10 gold coins and asked Starr to buy some fresh ordinary sea fish, as well as some meat and vegetables, which greatly improved the food in the orphanage.

The purchasing power of 10 gold coins is enough for the orphanage for a long time. In this way, two days passed in a hurry.

…… The location of the orphanage, named Cross Lane, and Cross Lane, is in

The "Mafia" was destroyed and been

After the "Blood Beast Gang" replaced it, it became the gang sphere of influence of the Blood Beast Gang. These days, almost all the poor people living in the area covered by the Blood Beast Gang's influence are ugly.

Compared to the mafia gang in the past, the Blood Beast Gang has a much bigger appetite. Some people who couldn't pay the protection money were beaten miserably and made an example of them, and even if others were unwilling, for the sake of their lives, they had to grit their teeth and raise money to pay it.

At this moment, in the hall where the Blood Beast Gang is stationed. A middle-aged man with a scarlet bone was constantly kowtowing to the big man in the first seat in the hall, even if his head was bleeding, he didn't dare to stop.

"Lord Haink, please, give me a little more time, I will definitely scrape together enough money, please, let my daughter go, please......" In the face of the pleading below, the expression on the face of the man in the seat did not change, and he touched the blood-colored ring on his right thumb for a long time: "Thor, I gave you a chance." ”

"But if you can't pay the money, it's hard for me to do it."

"I can only let your daughter, for your family, make a little contribution." The indifferent voice came from above, and the frequency of kowtowing to the thin middle-aged man named Thor became faster and faster, and a large patch of blood flowed under him.

"I beg you, Lord Haink, give me a little more time, my daughter is only seven years old! Please, I'll make it all right......" The man sitting at the top of the table stopped talking, and in his place were two young men with cruel faces and a bloody mark on their foreheads.

They walked up to the kowtowing Thor and slammed a fist on the back of the head, knocking the middle-aged man, who was still pleading, unconscious, and then one of them dragged him out of the hall, leaving a bloody trail of blood on the floor.

The smell of blood was in the air. Haink's face was intoxicated as he smelled the blood in the air.

When he reopened his eyes, a sharp-beaked man standing next to his seat said respectfully: "Helper, as of five o'clock this afternoon, there are still six families in our sphere of influence who have failed to pay their protection money in time, including Starr from the orphanage, whom you specifically explained. "His name is Lu Xiubi, he is not physically strong, but he is clever, eye-catching, and a little smart, and he is a similar kobold military advisor in the Blood Beast Gang.

"Oh......" Haink's face remained unchanged, but a crimson glow of blood appeared in the depths of the child's hole, which made Lu Xiubi's heart tremble as he stood beside him.

"Hehe, 50 gold coins, such a large sum of money, it's strange that the little ghost can make it up."

"You can take someone to catch all those little ghosts in the orphanage, and press hard, don't hurt them."

"Yes!" Lu Xiubi replied with his head held high, and then he walked out of the hall quickly.

After Lushubi left, the hall fell into a deathly silence, and as the afterglow of the setting sun slowly faded, the light in the room gradually dimmed, and Haink, who sat at the top of the hall, the shadows around him squirmed, like a living monster.

…… Orphanage, small courtyard in flat ground. Candles emitting dim candlelight are placed in the corners under the eaves of the wooden house, bringing little light to the small courtyard.

Dressed in a well-fitting loose training suit, Starr sat cross-legged on the cushion with a serious face, listening to Leo explain the essentials of basic swordsmanship in front of him.

Although Starr's body is still recuperating, some theoretical indoctrination can still be carried out first.

Fortunately, Starr had studied at the school in Port Pernes for a period of time in his early years, and he still recognized some basic writing.

This made Leo's teaching a little easier.

"The foundation of basic swordsmanship practice lies in stance, and stances are roughly divided into three types, the upper stances of the main attack, the relatively balanced mid-stage stance, and the lower stances that focus on defense and dodge......" While narrating, Leo also displayed various stances for Starr.

Starr listened carefully and watched even more carefully. What the teacher said was valuable knowledge that he had been unable to seek in the past.

If his brain didn't allow it, he would have engraved the teacher's every move, word and deed into his mind.

After explaining some basic swordsmanship points, Leo paused, leaving time for Starr to digest. He looked behind the door of the cabin.

There, several little beans secretly hid behind and eavesdropped, and Leo didn't care about this.

What he is talking about is the most basic swordsmanship summed up by the Blue Star Donghuang Kendo Alliance and used to enlighten the majority of swordsmanship students, and it does not involve anything, and there is nothing to avoid.

They can listen to what they want, and the extent to which they can learn is their own creation. As Starr digested, absorbed, and comprehended the basic swordsmanship knowledge, Leo looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

The frost moon spread across the earth, which was very different from the blood moon he had seen when he looked up in the city of Jör.

If it weren't for the discovery of many things related to the city of Yoel and the aberration in the continent of Most, Leo would have even wondered if this peaceful and peaceful world was really the same world as the hellish place he had experienced in the past.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!" Suddenly, there was a violent knocking sound, the wooden door of the small courtyard shook violently, and the door bolt made a mournful sound, startling the thinking Starr to follow the voice.

Before he could make a move,

With a "bang", the deadbolt broke, and the wooden door was kicked open. Behind the dark wooden door, nearly ten tall figures slowly walked in.

"Little ghost, when the time comes, hand over the money you owe!" A voice sounded, and a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, surrounded by eight tall young men with blood marks on his head, stepped in with his hands behind his back.

The dim candlelight, as the wooden door was kicked open, the night wind poured in, blowing brightly and indefinitely, shining on the faces of the visitors, and it looked particularly cold.

"It's you!" Starr's heart tightened. He recognized the gang of people who had suddenly broken into the orphanage. Those who had a blood mark on their heads were the thugs of the Blood Beast Gang, and the leader was called by the people of Cross Alley

The abominable fellow of the "Blood Fox" - Lushubi! If it is said

The impression that the "blood jackal" Hainke gave to the people here was cold and cruel, then

"Blood Fox" Lu Xiubi is cunning and vicious. A few days ago, the Blood Beast Gang used vicious methods against several residents who were unwilling to pay protection fees, and the person who came up with the idea was the guy in front of him.

Subconsciously, Starr tightened his right hand, in the past, he would carry a very sharp characteristic knife with him, which was both the man he relied on for his livelihood and the weapon he used to protect himself in the face of danger.

But this handshake was empty, and his heart was shocked, and Starr remembered that in order to better practice, when he had just taken a shower and changed clothes, he put away the special knife and did not carry it on his body.

On the other side, Lushuby was about to continue to say something, but at this moment, by the moonlight and the light of a candle, he saw the young man beside Starr, looking up at the night sky.

Dressed in a gray slim-fitting suit, his face is obviously different from that of the Winsted people, and on closer inspection, he has black hair, black boy, and yellow skin...... It's one, Candlestar!

Lu Xiubi was shocked, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back, he narrowed his eyes, and his thoughts were surging.

As the second-in-command of the Blood Beast Gang, he was able to climb to his current position because of his enough eyesight.

The candle star young man sitting next to Starr in front of him, although he was not very old and the clothes on his body were very ordinary, the kind of heart-shaking temperament that was inadvertently revealed on his body made Lu Xiubi's heart tremble.

This guy is definitely not an ordinary person! Damn it! Starr, this little ghost, where did you find such a foreigner!

Originally, a foreigner like Candle Star was very troublesome to deal with, not to mention that this person still looked like an ordinary Candle Star.

I have to test and tempt first, but I can't do it, and tonight's action can only be postponed for the time being...... His heart turned a hundred times, and the originally cold smile on Lu Xiubi's face suddenly made a 360-degree turn, and he bowed humbly: "This ...... Sir, dare to ask what to call it? Lushuby's sudden change in attitude not only stunned the Blood Beast Gang thugs behind him who were about to shout and curse, but also made Starr's eyes widen slightly.

Things are completely different from what he imagined. He still remembers that day very well

When the "Blood Fox" Lushubi ordered his subordinates to break the limbs of the residents who were unwilling to pay the protection fee, the expression on his face was so vicious, and now...... Teacher...... This word came to mind, and Starr's flustered heart suddenly settled.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he was no longer the boy who could only rely on himself to protect his younger siblings, Grandma Karin, and the orphanage.

He, with a teacher. Facing Lu Xiubi's attitude changed drastically, Leo withdrew his gaze to look at the bright moon in the night sky, his eyes swept over Lu Xiubi and his party, and said in a surging voice: "Acquaintance guy." Swept by Leo's gaze, Lu Xiubi only felt an awe-inspiring sword aura slash him from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and unconsciously, his body became stiff, and cold sweat spread all over his body.

Not only him, but even the Blood Beast Gang thugs behind him were the same at this moment, their eyes showed intense horror, but they didn't dare to make a sound, because they had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, in the center of their eyebrows, there was a long sword that was extremely sharp, only if they dared to move a little, the long sword would pierce their eyebrows, causing them to bleed on the spot.

"You should be the people of the Blood Beast Gang as my disciple said." Leo said firmly.

Unable to listen to the tone of joy and anger, Lu Xiubi was so frightened that his heart was about to rise to his throat, the young man in front of him was absolutely absolutely, a professional with strength that he couldn't imagine, even in the face of the gang leader

"Blood Jackal" Hayink, he has never been so afraid, how can he not be afraid in the face of such an existence?

Hear that one in Leo's words

"Disciple", he hurriedly said, "Sir! Mr! We didn't know that Starr was your disciple, and if we did, we wouldn't have dared to give us a hundred more dares. ”

"Sir, let us go, we're just following the orders of the helper." Hearing this, Starr on the side frowned, if it weren't for the teacher's handling of things, he would have to refute it immediately.

That's not what you said that day when you ordered someone to cripple the inhabitants! In the face of Luxiubi's pleading, Leo's face did not change in the slightest.

As a member of the gang, it was naturally impossible for Luxiubi to be like what he said

"Poor", you don't see his attitude when he first entered the door, these people he brought over, they didn't look like they wanted to talk well.

However, in the face of these ordinary people who are not even formal professionals, he is too lazy to do it.

"Go back and tell your helper, Starr, including the entire orphanage, that I am now covered. From today onwards, I don't want to see anyone from your Blood Beast Gang appear within two hundred meters of the orphanage. Leo's voice didn't say what would happen if the Blood Beast Gang didn't comply, but Lushubi knew it all the best.

The other party doesn't kill himself and others at the moment, maybe he doesn't want to get his hands dirty, or he may be too lazy to do it, plus his attitude changes in time, but if there is a next time, I'm afraid it will ...... Thinking of this, he nodded busily: "I understand, I understand, Mr. will definitely convey all of his words to the helper." After speaking, Luxiubi cautiously raised his head and looked at Leo: "Sir, can we go?" ”

", by the way, fix the door."

"Yes, yes, yes, we're going to make the door stronger than it was." After humbly bowing his waist, Lu Xiubi turned to look at the thugs behind him, and scolded angrily: "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and repair the door for Mr. and use the best wood!" ”

"You, you, you, go buy the best wood, as fast as you can, and the others stay where you are!" After giving the order, Lu Xiubi cautiously laughed with him, and retreated to the door with the remaining five thugs to wait.

Although he wanted to flee from this place, Lushubi knew that if he did, the consequences would be extremely miserable.

He had to take care of everything before he dared to leave. Starr stared blankly at everything in front of him, and what happened tonight deeply shocked the boy who was only eleven years old.

This is something that he never dared to imagine when he lived carefully in the past. Although he was given the ability to burst out at a critical moment far beyond the speed of ordinary people, this was limited, every ten seconds, he could only burst out for two or three seconds, such an ability, by surprise, could allow him to kill strong adults with a weak child's body and sharp weapons, but if he faced more than five strong young people who were scattered and standing, he would definitely die.

In order to protect his younger siblings and Grandma Karin, and protect the orphanage, he has been living very carefully.

But now, the teacher is showing him another way of living in life.

"How's it going, do you feel more motivated to practice swords?" The teacher's gentle voice reached his ears, and Starr nodded vigorously, his eyes shining with a more determined light.

"Yes!"

"If that's the case, then study hard." …… Stimulated by life and death, it only took less than half an hour for Lu Xiubi and others to complete the whole process from the procurement of raw materials to the repair of the wooden door.

Then, they left the orphanage in a hurry, and at that speed, they only hated their parents for having a few legs.

The little episode of the Blood Beast Gang, Leo didn't care. After the gang left, Starr went back to his room and comforted the frightened ten little ones and Grandma Karin before returning to the courtyard.

After this, the ten little beans looked at Leo with more and more admiration. After everything was dealt with, Leo originally planned to continue to teach Starr some basic swordsmanship, but suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and showed an interested smile on his face: "Interesting......" said to Starr

"Think about what I told you before," Leo's body suddenly disappeared from Starr's eyes.

Looking ahead at the empty front, Starr's eyes showed envy. The teacher's speed was far beyond his imagination, even if he let the wind help accelerate to the maximum, it was far behind.

"Is this the power of a professional...... "The boy muttered in a low voice, full of determination.

…… On the other side, Lukasiu and his party, who had repaired the gate of the orphanage, stopped their footsteps and gasped for breath after running away from the orphanage for a full two hundred meters.

"Whew...... After taking a breath, Lucasius looked in the direction of the orphanage, his eyes full ......of the rest of his life.

He really walked through the gates of hell just now! The god of wind is above, why in a dilapidated orphanage, a pickpocket boy, there is such a terrifying teacher.

What the hell is this kidding! Lukesius sighed deeply in his heart. This situation, no one could have imagined, now the plan is to hurry back and tell the gang leader the whole story, if the gang leader is still obsessed, then he Lukasiu will have to prepare to run away in advance.

He didn't think that the gang leader would be a match for that terrible candlestar youth. In slums like Cross Lane, there are no street lights at night, and the light is all based on moonlight or its own light source.

And the light source of Lukasiu and the others is the torches held in the hands of the eight thugs. Although the inner city and central city of Port Perynse already have magic lights, what does that kind of thing have to do with these rats in the slums?

Don't look at their prestige in the slums, it is because the nobles and lords of the inner and central cities are too lazy to look here, if they dare to be presumptuous and overstep, it will be completely erased in a few moments.

The light of the fire dancing on the torches, in the dark alley, reflected the shaking shadows of Lukasiu and others.

After a moment of respite, Lukasiu was just about to beckon the eight thugs to return to the gang station together, when suddenly, a clear sound of footsteps came to his ears.

"Step-step-step-" The sound of each footstep made Lucasiu's heart tremble, and after three sounds, he covered his chest in pain.

Not only him, but also the other eight thugs. Who is it? Is it the young man in the orphanage?

Sure enough, he still didn't want to let us go...... Lucasius felt a strong sense of bitterness in his heart. Why!

If you don't want to let us go, why give us hope and despair! Just because you're a professional, can you play with us like that!

At the same time, Lukasiu was also full of anger. His eyes were fixed in the direction the voice was coming from. Although he is just an ordinary person, if the other party refuses to let him go, then even if he dies, he will stare at the other party with resentful eyes!

Let it sleep badly! As his gaze shifted, Lucasius saw the owner of the footsteps. In the light of the torches, he was greeted by a tall woman with a delicate body outlined in a tight black suit, and wearing a half-metal mask.

In her hand, she tossed a dagger with a cold light. Not the Candlestar Youth...... Who is she?

Seeing the comer, Lukasiu, who was originally full of resentment in his eyes, was stunned.
