31. Thief

Zi Lin's words made Mu En stunned, and looked at this beautiful girl curiously, could she really have magic to make this guy who stole things stand up on his own?

Mu En asked his doubts: "What if that guy is very smart and doesn't show his feet at that time?"

Zi Lin stuck out her tongue and didn't want to reveal the details, and said with a smile: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Mu En looked at Zi Lin suspiciously, it didn't seem like a joke, Mu En felt that he should believe this little girl.

Time passed gradually, from the time Zi Lin began to cast spells to the ten minutes that Mu En said, now eight minutes have passed, in order to make sure that he can find the guy who stole the couple's gem, Mu En stood up and began to walk past everyone casually, sweeping their expressions, in Mu En's opinion, even the most intelligent person will definitely show flaws at this time, or his movements, or his expression.

Mu En walked by everyone casually, everyone's reaction was calm, and the time was getting closer and closer, and while Mu En was walking, a middle-aged merchant in front of Mu En suddenly stood up.

With a movement in his heart, Mu En stepped forward to stop the middle-aged businessman and asked, "What are you doing?"

The middle-aged merchant looked at Mu En nervously and said, "I'...... I'm going to the toilet. ”

Mu En smiled and said, "One more minute." When the time comes, if you are not the one who stole something, you can naturally leave. ”

Mu En's words seemed to make the middle-aged businessman think of something fearful, and he jumped up at once and said fearfully: "No! I didn't steal it! I didn't steal it! Don't arrest me!"

Mu En was stunned, even if he didn't steal it. Is it necessary for this man to be so excited, isn't it obvious that he stole it to the others?

That's it!

Mu En gestured at Zilin. Zi Lin quietly cast a magic mark on the middle-aged merchant, and Mu En stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged merchant's hand: "It's you!

The middle-aged businessman suddenly collapsed to the ground when he heard this. Muttered to himself, "I've still been discovered!Master Mage, don't arrest me, don't kill me!"

Seeing this, the others also understood what was going on, and then there was no more excitement to see, and everyone dispersed.

The middle-aged merchant was still lying on the ground, looking at Mu En in fear, as if Mu En was a demon, Mu En was secretly curious, remembering what Zi Lin had said before. Hurriedly looked at Zi Lin and asked with a smile, "What kind of magic are you casting?"

Zi Lin stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "I think the person who stole the thing must be very afraid that others will find out about him, and I thought I could take advantage of this fear, so I cast a 'fear spell'." ”

Fear Technique, a first-level dark magic, this small magic can expand the fear in the heart of the recipient, Zi Lin used this spell in this situation, and it can be regarded as the right place.

Mu En glanced at Zi Lin appreciatively. smiled and praised: "Not bad." Pretty smart. ”

Zi Lin smiled shyly, "This is still inspired by you." ”

Mu En shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay." Let's ask what's going on. ”

The middle-aged merchant was in a state of dread at the moment, and when Mu En grabbed him, it was as if the whole world knew that he had stolen someone else's things, and then he was punished by the mage with vicious magic. In the end, he was sent to prison, deprived of all his wealth, and reduced to slavery. All the bad luck happened to him.

Seeing Muen approaching him again, he cried out in horror, "No, Master Mage, please. Spare me. I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"

Mu En sighed. The middle-aged merchant cast a dispel spell that removed the negative status from the target, and at this point it was determined that he was the one who stole the gem, and the fear spell had lost its effect, keeping him awake and making it easier for Mu En to interrogate.

As soon as the fear technique was eliminated, the middle-aged merchant sat on the ground and looked at everything around him in a daze, he still remembered what happened just now, and now it was useless to regret it, these mage's spells were so amazing, he only blamed himself for his bad luck.

Mu En saw that the middle-aged merchant had sobered up, and asked, "How did you know that this couple had gems?"

The middle-aged merchant sighed and replied honestly: "When I passed by, his son was playing with other children, and I heard his son tell the other children that they had treasures in their house, so I stayed and eavesdropped on them, and then I learned that there was a precious ancestral gem in their house, and I kept an eye on the family, and when they were gone, I went to steal the gem." ”

"The gem is still with you?" asked Moon.

The middle-aged merchant nodded, and Mu En asked the middle-aged merchant to take the middle-aged couple to retrieve the gem.

Before leaving, Mu En warned the middle-aged businessman: "The most important thing for a businessman is reputation, I can not punish you this time, and I must not do similar things in the future." ”

The middle-aged merchant nodded repeatedly, this was already the best result, he didn't want to be here for a moment, such an experience made him lose face, he quietly went back to his tent to pack his things, and left the oasis overnight, if he was recognized and spread his story, then the matter would not be in a second.

Back to Mu En and the middle-aged couple, this family heirloom gem is their lifeblood, and it is the key to whether they can live according to their own imagination in the future, Mu En helped them find their dreams back, and the middle-aged couple is naturally very grateful to Mu En, and they are very grateful to Mu En and Zilin.

On behalf of his family, the middle-aged man gratefully said to Mu En and Zi Lin, "Thank you, young mage, and your girlfriend!"

At this moment, Mu En and Zi Lin had a big red face, Mu En's face was full of embarrassment, but Zi Lin's face was shy with joy, Mu En hurriedly explained: "Uncle, no. We're just ordinary friends, not satisfying friends, not what you think. ”

The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, you men and women are good-looking, I think they are a good match, so I think it." You have brought back a family heirloom for us, and I don't know how to thank you for having nothing but this heirloom now. My wife has made a good meal, and I hope that Master Master will be able to enjoy her face and stay for a supper, so that we can thank you very much. ”

The middle-aged man's words made Zi Lin's heart even happier, but she knew that the distance between Mu En and him was very far away, almost impossible, and she could only hope that she would spend more days alone with Mu En like this, which would be kept as a souvenir in the future.

Mu En was not hypocritical, and his soul made him not feel that he was much nobler than a commoner, he smiled and nodded in response: "Okay, it just so happens that my friend and I also feel that we are not full for dinner and are a little hungry, so I will trouble you." ”

Mu En and Zi Lin moved to the tent of the middle-aged couple, it would take a certain amount of time to prepare a supper, and the three of them chatted, and Mu En asked curiously, "Why did you think of moving out of the Western Wilderness?

The Western Wilderness is a wasteland, not only poor but also desolate, no country will worry about this useless land, whoever occupies this place, the Western Wilderness will only become a burden to that country;

And now that the couple is going to leave the western wilderness, abandon their roots here, and develop in other places, this is a very difficult decision for a civilian family to make, and there must be some special reason for the family to make such a decision.

The middle-aged man sighed and said heavily: "My ancestors settled in the western wilderness a long time ago, although it is barren here, but we have also accumulated a lot of family business, if it is not for the lack of a way to live, who wants to leave the homeland cultivated by our ancestors for more than ten generations?"

Mu En had a vague answer in his heart, and he asked, "What made you make such a decision?"

The middle-aged man said, "You are a mage, you must have heard of Mage City. Originally, there was no conflict of interest between cities, but with the improvement of the environment in the western wilderness, these places restored by Mage City have become conflicts between cities. Everyone wanted to get the land that had been restored by the Mage City, but no one could convince the other, so the war that had not occurred for thousands of years befell this barren land for the first time. ”

The purpose of Mage City is to maintain the balance of the world and repair the wounds of the continent, their position is absolutely neutral, as long as the war between cities does not cause devastating damage to this land again, Mage City will not intervene, and this is perhaps the most backward place in the entire continent, even magic warships are difficult to see, the war between the cities established by these down-and-out nobles cannot form a decent damage to this land at all, but the war is indeed fatal to the civilians living in this land.

If one of their city-states loses the war, these civilians are likely to become the enemy's war dividends, deprived of everything.

Rather than worrying about such a day every day during the war, the couple decided to give up everything they have now and decide to live in a more stable and orderly continent after discussing and considering the future growth of their children.

Of course, it was also because they had the certificate of ancestral gem that the middle-aged couple dared to make such a decision. (To be continued......)
