For gray organizations, Xia Lin is not disgusted, nor can he have a good impression.

On the one hand, it was these gray organizations, large and small, that formed the United Guild of Dock Workers, which gave the anti-contractors the power to negotiate wages with the mean, stingy merchants.

At the same time, they also maintained basic law and order in the slums, and provided many job opportunities, which was equivalent to filling part of the gap in the grassroots rule of this feudal monarchy society.

On the other hand, they are like blood-sucking plants, rooted in the lower strata of the slums.

Stealing, robbing, kidnapping, usury, forcing women into so-called "big houses" to make money for them, these organizations do everything they can to make money.

In addition to these near-black zone incomes, they also rely on a steady income from the hard-earned money earned by their laborers to maintain a relatively well-off life for their members.

For example, the twenty-five copper pesas that Xia Lin's father earned every day by working the docks had to be handed over to three of them every day, and the five copper pesas that his mother earned for every pound of spun yarn had to be handed over to them one copper pes.

It's just that Xia Lin hasn't had much contact with these organizations in the past three years, and I don't know what they are doing when they send these three young people to find him.

"Long time no see, Xia Lin! You remember us, right? ”

The man in the lead looked at Xia Lin and looked back at the few of them, and took the initiative to greet them.

"Of course, Roy, Adams, Fink, I still remember when we fought with those bastards in the south, and Oliver was beaten down by you, but I didn't expect you to join the Bronze Hand now."

However, in three years, Xia Lin naturally will not forget this group of small hair, he said with a slight look of nostalgia on his face.

"Haha, that's all in the past, now we're just trying to survive!"

Roy laughed heartily, it seemed that life in the gray organization had not affected him in the slightest, and he seemed to be the big brother who took Xia Lin to fight everywhere.

"Join the Bronze Hand to survive?"

Xia Lin sighed, remembering that Roy seemed to have told him longing when he was a child that he wanted to be a dragon-slaying adventurer, and now it seems that ordinary people's dreams will always be shattered in the face of cruel reality.

"Xia Lin, we don't have the luck to become a venerable mage like you! Your eldest brother was also apprenticed by the Buck Blacksmith at the docks, and now everyone calls you 'the Lucky Carls'!" ”

Hearing Xia Lin's words, Fink, the short man behind Roy, said jealously.

"yes, we're different now."

Xia Lin looked at Fink and sighed pointedly.

"Obviously became a mage, but he didn't care about the affairs of our friends at all, a heartless person like Ling was really blind to Roy and Adams's kindness to you in the first place!"

Fink didn't seem to hear the reminder in Xia Lin's words, and he continued to indignantly express his dissatisfaction with this companion from years ago, but he didn't notice that Xia Lin's face had a strange smile on his face and narrowed his eyes slightly, and Roy's face gradually became unsightly.

"Fink! Shut up! ”

Seeing that Xia Lin smiled and didn't seem to mind Fink's words at all, Roy felt a pang in his heart, and turned around and interrupted Fink's words with a slap.

"Big Brother Roy! You! …… I'm not worth it for you! ”

Suddenly slapped in the face, Fink clutched his cheek in disbelief and shouted angrily at his boss.

"Fink, don't say any more, Roy and I don't need you to fight each other."

However, Adams, who was silent on the side, also spoke in a deep voice.

"You guys! Okay, count me Fink blind! You've always protected Xia Lin's little cub before, and you're still like this! ”

Fink trembled with anger, and he let out a cruel remark, looked between his two burly companions, and then clenched his fists and looked at Xia Lin, who was still smiling.

It looked like he was going to pounce viciously and fight Xia Lin in the next moment.

"Sure enough, Fink, you're still the same."

Looking at Fink's expression of wanting to choose himself, Xia Lin shook his head helplessly.

Since he was a child, he didn't deal with this Fink very well, and there were a lot of fights between the two, and if it weren't for Roy and Adams in the middle, the two would have parted ways long ago.

Now it seems that this fat boy's impression of himself is still stuck in three years ago, which is not good for him or himself.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin raised his right hand and silently recited four syllables, only to see a scorching arrow composed entirely of flames quickly appear in front of his right hand, and the people around him suddenly let out a sound of amazement and panic, and retreated in unison.

Roy and Fink were also frightened and took a step back, and Adams's face was slightly nervous.

It was only then that they realized that it was not the slug Xia Lin who was playing behind their butts a few years ago, but a mage Xia Lin who had mastered the terrifying power of spells.

Roy stared at the flaming arrow with a pale face and nervous expression, and said quickly:

"No, Xia Lin, please stop! It was Fink who said the wrong thing, we have no intention of offending you, the Bronze Hand sent the three of us here just to gain the friendship of a mage.

In the past three years, Bronze Hand has taken a lot of care of you and my family, otherwise do you think those guys from other places will not come to disturb your family? ”

“……”

"Is that so? That seems to be the case. ”

"Well, I have received your sincerity, and the bronze hand has gained my friendship.

If there's any non-embarrassing request, Roy, you and Adams can come to the North End to find me, and as for Fink, the guy who doesn't recognize the situation, forget it, I'm sure you'll find out my address soon. ”

Hearing Roy's words, Xia Lin thought for a while, and found that his family had indeed not been disturbed by anyone over the years, which was a very abnormal thing, and it seemed that the copper hand in it had contributed a lot.

In this case, Xia Lin will naturally accept a love for the copper hand, and by the way, he will also bring his two hair small.

And it is sometimes useful to maintain a certain relationship with such a gray organization, Xia Lin said to Roy in a soothing tone, as for Fink, who was sweating and trembling all over, he completely ignored it.

Originally, he just wanted to deter a brainless fool like Fink, but since Roy handed over the steps in a timely manner, Xia Lin naturally wouldn't embarrass them too much, after all, they still have a childhood friendship.

He used his spiritual power to guide the flame arrow to launch into the sky, and finally the flame arrow beyond the range of spiritual power turned into an irregular flame in the sky and dissipated like fireworks.

"Your Excellency Xia Lin, we have come to you now because we have something to ask you!"

Seeing the flaming arrow emitting a terrifying heat dissipate into the sky, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly continued. He also stopped making friends and used an unfamiliar but formal and respectful title.

He looked at the people around him who were hiding to watch the excitement, took a few steps forward, and said in a voice that Xia Lin could just hear:

"Our bronze hand has recently needed a batch of spell scrolls, about twenty pieces of that kind of armor, and twenty pieces of armor that can attack the enemy like the spell of Lord Xia Lin just now.

Of course, we will definitely not let your Excellency suffer, the bronze hand bids five silver mar for each spell scroll, and we hope that Your Excellency Xia Lin will be able to contact your classmates during this time to complete these spell scrolls! The time limit is 10 days. ”

"Five silver mar?"

Xia Lin's mind moved slightly, a total of forty spell scrolls, each with five silver mar, this is not a small penny, is there any place for a gray organization like the bronze hand to use these spell scrolls?

It is impossible for them to attack the city guards, and if they are fighting for territory, it is obviously better to use the spell scroll than to go to the slums and recruit a few half-grown teenagers like Roy and them who dare to fight as cannon fodder.

After thinking about it for a while and not coming to any conclusion, Xia Lin finally nodded and agreed.

This money is not made in vain, although his narrow social circle cannot attract a few mage classmates to make spell scrolls, but the social flower Dramar that Harper knows should be able to find enough people.

A scroll gives them four silver coins, they can earn an extra forty silver mar, and Xia Lin can also earn forty silver mar for nothing, and can also maintain the relationship with the bronze hand, which is a win-win-win.

Seeing that Xia Lin agreed to this, Roy was obviously relieved, did not continue to catch up with Xia Lin, and agreed to let Adams come to the door to pick up the goods at that time, and he immediately left here with Adams and Fink, who had palpitations.

I believe that after this time, this Fink should understand one thing, that is, no matter when, don't provoke people you can't afford to mess with.

This was also a small gift from Xia Lin to this childhood friend, otherwise he thought that the corpse of this guy who did not recognize the situation would one day appear in the septic tank of the slum.
