Full Time Mage Lord

Henry is notoriously dirty. It seems he hasn't showered in a month. I don't know how he can hold on.

Therefore, the two rejected Henry's proposal in a tacit understanding.

Henry had expected such an answer and didn't take it seriously. He raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Why hasn't it taken so long? Do you think the boss will be caught by them, and Jessica..."

Jessica is the crying little girl.

Speaking of this, Henry seemed to think of Jessica's performance just now, and suddenly smiled again and said, "But that damn girl, her acting skills are really amazing, hehe. The boss is lucky, but it's a pity that we are hiding here to drink from the northwest wind. .”

"Henry, don't speak ill of the boss, otherwise... haha, you understand."

When Conti heard Henry's words, he clenched his fists angrily, but when he saw Henry's unkind look, he stammered and couldn't continue.

Osgo didn't like Henry very much when he always said bad things about the boss and said, "Henry, the boss will not be caught. Don't talk nonsense."

Staring at the little Conte, Henry looked at Osgo again. He felt that he was no worse than the boss, and in terms of stature, he was the tallest among them, but every time he acted, he Arranged with Conte, a coward, and Osgo, a dullard, this made Henry very dissatisfied.

However, Henry still knew that the boss had many more evil ideas than him, and every time he came up with a solution, he succeeded. Until now, orphans like them could survive.

Thinking of this, Henry snorted and stopped talking.

Half an hour later.

"Osgu, it's the boss and Jessica who are back." Conti first saw two short and thin figures walking towards the intersection in the distance.

"Oh, boss, you are finally back. You have been worrying me for a long time." The honest Osgu immediately ran over and put his arm on the boss's shoulder.

"It's good to be back. Come on, let's see what we get tonight."

Henry was also overjoyed to see the boss coming back, and hurried forward. He also hoped to have a good harvest tonight, so that everyone would not starve today.

The boss's name is Reinhardt.

Reinhardt is shorter than Henry, a little thinner, with slightly darker skin, light yellow hair, a pair of very bright blue eyes, and a resolute and unyielding lip under the straight bridge of his nose. The only shortcoming is There is an obvious scar on the left side of his face, diagonally crossing the eyelid from the eyebrow to the cheek.

This scar was left on Reinhardt when he was very young, and he didn't know who it was.

Reinhardt was an orphan, and his long and hard life forced him to persevere. He was once on the verge of death, but he was lucky enough to survive with his intelligence.

Before meeting these companions, he was a child who was caught digging in a mine. It was a tragic experience.

For many child workers in the mines, they are very lucky to be able to eat a bowl of thin vegetable soup and moldy black bread every day.

War is eternal, and war requires a large amount of minerals to produce armor. Even if the contract was signed twenty years ago, the war was still going on until ten years ago, or now.

The war almost never stops.

The mine supervisor still did not regard these children as human beings, and viciously insulted them and beat them every day. Many children could hardly survive for more than three months. Reinhard endured all this.

Until one day, he met Jessica.

That day, Reinhardt was still mining in the mine. As usual, he cleverly maintained a certain rhythm so as not to consume too much physical energy and not be noticed by the miners. This was also the reason why Reinhardt was working in the mine. A life-saving method to survive the cave.

And like all miners, he hopes he can dig out a soul crystal.

People on the mainland are still not sure what the soul crystal is, but it is worth more than crystal.

Getting rich overnight is almost the same.

Reinhard, who was digging, suddenly heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the cave. He raised his head and looked around. He was surprised to see an overseer holding a little girl's neck and tearing the little girl's clothes apart. , revealing her thin body made of bones, while unzipping her crotch, smiling lewdly.

"Hehe, there's not even a woman in this dark place. This beauty is a little too young, but it's a pleasure for me."

The several supervisors surrounding him also laughed lewdly and started cheering.

At this moment, the little girl happened to look towards Reinhardt, her big eyes pleading.

She knew her fate, but she was unwilling to face these extremely vicious and ugly villains.

She saw a boy, but what could a boy do for her? His legs were not as thick as the arms of these villains.

Reinhard's heart was suddenly ignited.

I originally planned to be free after working here for a year...

But what is freedom for? Will you continue to be a walking zombie by yourself?

He suddenly picked up the shovel in his hand, rushed towards the overseer, and hit the overseer on the head hard.

Within a moment, Reinhard hit the overseer on the head dozens of times. Suddenly, the white and red spots on the head of the overseer were splashed with debris all over the floor.

This situation happened too suddenly. It was a surprise attack from behind. The supervisors around him didn't even have time to stop him. The guy was already beaten to death. Moreover, everyone could only scream when they saw that the man's head was broken.

Reinhard threw away the shovel in his hand, grabbed the girl's hand, and ran out quickly.

An alarm sounded in the mine.

The sound of the alarm bell made Reinhardt and Jessica flee in panic.

The supervisors who were initially stunned immediately chased Reinhard and the two. If they ran away, they would not survive.

On the surface, this mine officially belongs to the Eternal Empire, but in fact, it is only contracted by the Chamber of Commerce. If a human life case occurs, of course it will not be reported to the authorities, but will be suppressed.

Suppressing means shutting up, shutting up forever...

…

Fortunately, the mine is full of messy ores, and the ground is uneven.

The two children, Reinhardt and Jessica, shuttled easily among them, but the tall and fierce overseers chased them much slower.

Reinhard and Jessica gradually distanced themselves from each other.

There is a low section on one side of the mine. Generally speaking, large mines will dig out such a section to detect the distribution of mineral layers.

Reinhardt and Jessica were extremely nervous at this time. They randomly chose a direction and started running desperately, completely unaware that they were going in the direction of this section.

Before they could react, they both stumbled and fell.

The supervisor who was chasing them could only stop. Although the cross-section was not high, it was still about 20 meters. Most people still didn't dare to jump down, and neither did the average person. At 20 meters, it was higher than the city wall of the imperial capital. !

Fortunately, the place where Reinhard and Jessica fell was a thick layer of soft waste mineral sand, so they only scratched the skin of their hands and feet and did not suffer too serious injuries.

Seeing the supervisors who kept roaring at them above the section, Reinhardt and Jessica hurriedly continued to escape deeper. He didn't want the supervisors to come down the path on the other side and catch up with him.

Going out from the fault and following the mine pit, Reinhardt and the girl Jesse escaped from the mine pit and followed the Tianshui River to the slums in the west of the city, where the poor gathered.

Here, there are poor people and children of poor people everywhere. Reinhard and Jessica seem to have disappeared into the sea. The supervisors of the mines near Tianluo City can no longer find them.

Compared to life in the mines, the slums were obviously much better. At least after Reinhard got to know these partners, they could eat some food every day and live freely.

However, Reinhard will not be satisfied with these, because so far, they have not been able to solve their stomachs, and the important thing is that they belong to outsiders, and everything in the recycling bin does not belong to them...

…

This night, Reinhard and the others took greater risks, not only offending the slum bullies, but also obtaining some waste that could be exchanged for money. In this way, these partners could leave the slums with them and go to a better place to live. Starting a small business is Reinhard's dream and everyone's dream.

Only in the recycling bin can there be valuable things. The nobles look down upon them, but to them, they are treasured things.

Reinhard saw Henry coming over, so he took off his backpack and gave it to him.

Henry has always been responsible for dividing the spoils, so everyone said nothing and only looked at Henry quietly, hoping to get good news.

But Jessica knew that Reinhard still secretly gave her a hairpin. Judging from the appearance of the hairpin, it could be worth a lot of money.

I took a sneak peek at Reinhard and found that he was still pretending to be nonchalant, waiting for Henry to count the items like everyone else.

Of course, as long as Jessica knew, this half-grown boy was not as strong as he looked, or in other words, Reinhard had his weak side.

After a while, Henry took out a small group of items wrapped in good-smelling cotton cloth from the bag with trembling hands, and turned it over. When everyone saw it, they were first surprised, and then they all cheered loudly.

"Is this gold? I've never seen it before."

The timid Conti walked over, and when he was about to touch it with his hands, Henry stopped him, "Don't touch it yet!"

"This must be gold. I have seen something similar to this hidden in an old woman's box before. But this piece is much bigger than her piece. Wow! We are rich!"

The honest Osgo happily picked up Conti and spun him around in circles until Conti almost fainted and then stopped.

"Boss, are you sure it's really gold?" Henry was also pleasantly surprised, but his knowledge was still not as good as Reinhard's, and if it was really gold, they didn't know what to do.

"This is indeed gold. I have seen it in the mines. After the things they mined were washed, they turned into very small particles of gold. It is incomparable to what we have now. This is high-purity, refined gold. !”

Jessica kept shaking Reinhardt's arm happily, and Reinhardt nodded.

Although, Reinhardt was also very excited. This piece of gold was as big as his fist. How much was it worth? !

However, on the surface, he was still relatively calm. Seeing everyone's excitement, he said, "Henry, look at what else there is and check it carefully."

After hearing what Reinhard said, everyone became excited again.

Maybe there is another big piece of gold, this is Conti's idea.

Osgo thought that it would be great if there was a toy.

After searching for a while, Henry said, "Boss, there is only this gold. The others are clothes, tools and the like. Oh, by the way, there is also a strange book. Take a look." Henry didn't recognize it. Except for Reinhard, who learned to write from a down-and-out bard in the ghetto, no one here knew how to write.

"Book? Then show me." Reinhardt was also surprised, remembering that he didn't find any similar items.

But when Henry turned it over, Reinhard finally understood.

It turned out that the book was packed in a box. At that time, Reinhard thought that the box should be valuable, so he threw it into the bag.

Indeed, this is a strange book, because the whole book is bright golden yellow, there is no word on the cover, and the material of the book is unknown.

At this moment, Reinhard held the book in his hand and turned it over and over. He couldn't figure out how to open the book. He faced the moonlight. It is said that some books need moonlight to see...

But he still found nothing. Just when he was about to lose his patience, the book suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and there was a slight pain in his hand.

Reinhard was surprised to see that his finger holding the book had a small bloody cut due to the angle of the metal box.

A trace of blood stuck to the top of the book, and it was slowly being dissolved and absorbed by the book. Under this situation, the book emitted this dazzling golden light.

"Wow, so beautiful." Jessica looked at the light and said blankly.

"Boss, this must be a devil's book. Throw it away as soon as possible." The timid Conti said. He had heard about devil's books from the stories of bards, which were books that devoured people's hearts.

"Yes, yes." Osgu agreed, he was also scared!

Only Henry did not speak immediately, "Boss, open it and see what is written on it. This book is so strange. It should contain some secrets about the treasure. Hahaha, it seems that we are really going to get rich."

Henry might think this is a treasure map. In many stories, there will be friends who are very lucky to discover the treasure map, right?

…

The dazzling golden light gradually disappeared.

Only then did Reinhard see that the originally wordless book was now written with words that had a somewhat primitive flavor.

"Dragon Diary"

"It seems to be a book about soul skill training." Reinhard said a little disappointed.

Soul skills are books that teach people how to use the power of soul energy.

But Reinhard was just a poor and down-and-out young man, so where did he get his soul power? It is said that only a very small number of people are lucky enough to have soul power from birth, and those who have soul power later in life are only one in a hundred.

After everyone heard this, they also gathered around.

But it's a pity that except for Reinhardt who can see those words, the others don't know a word at all. Although it sounds interesting, what's the use?

"Boss, there's still no writing on it?" Henry asked in confusion.

"Yes, boss, you won't lie to us." Conte and Osgu also said at the same time.

"Reinhardt, there is indeed no word on it. How did you know about the book you just mentioned about soul skill training?" Jessica was also surprised.

"Can't you see it? Here, look, right here, it says 'Dragon Diary', and behind it is the method of practicing soul skills..."

Reinhard hurriedly pointed at these words for everyone to see.

"Boss, I know we don't know how to read, so don't comfort us in this way."

It was obvious that Conte, Osgo, Henry, and even Jessica had misunderstood.

"well……"

Reinhard sighed. If his friends didn't care about him, there was nothing he could do.

"Forget it, I'll accept this book. Anyway, you all said you can't read the words." Reinhard said angrily and put the book into his arms.

After dividing the things, giving the gold to Reinhardt for safekeeping, and agreeing on a place to meet the next day, Osgo and Conte, as Henry said goodbye to Reinhardt and Jessica, We all go back. Although they all live in the slums, the area of ​​the slums is very large, and everyone’s accommodation is also different, because if everyone stays together, the harvest at the nearby recycling station will not be good, and they will all starve to death... …

…

Osgo, Conte and Henry went in one direction.

"Osco, what do you think we should buy? I want to buy a leather backpack. Yes, this can hold a lot of things! This time I finally got my wish." The timid Conte looked at the roof dreamily. The sky in the leak said.

"Conti, with your little income, you still buy a girl's backpack, you are worthless!" After hearing this, Henry said with disdain.

"That's right. Conti, you are still young and don't understand what real valuable things are. In fact, I want to buy a toy, a dragon knight riding a dragon. As long as you move the mechanism under it, it can move. That kind of thing. What do you think?"

The honest Osgo once dreamed of being a knight riding a flying dragon, and this was still a secret of his. Of course, everyone knew this secret, but Osgo still insisted on keeping this secret.

The knight riding the dragon is not a rumor, but a legend. At the beginning of the establishment of the Eternal Empire, at the end of the Age of Chaos, a person named "Dragon" was said to be a descendant of the dragon clan and could transform into a giant dragon. In the human form, the strongest one is the story of the original imperial knight riding a dragon and fighting against the devil...

"Come on, Osgo, we all know your thoughts." Henry and Conte said to Osgo together with a rare tacit understanding.

"Okay, let's not talk about what to buy for now. There will be plenty of time to think about it later. Now let's talk about Jessica. She seems to be a little prettier now, and she looks like a nice girl. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Henry said a little bit infatuatedly, but when he said this, he found that no one responded to him. It turned out that the two friends had long been immersed in their dreams. What about Jessica, they were not interested...
