Chapter Twenty-Five: The Jade Maiden
"Stop!"
"Ah, help! There's a witch in a robe, a violent woman, who wants to capture me! β
"What help? I'm the victim, right? Also, What does it mean to be a witch and a violent woman? β
"Goddess Nadia, come and save your people."
"Why did the goddess come to save the thief? Stop! β
"As long as you don't chase me, I'll stop!"
"Don't chase? Okay, then give me my money back! β
"Slander, blame, and the crime you want to add to the sin is unexcused!"
"Huh? I can't believe that you have read some books, why should you be a thief? β
"I'm not a thief, a poor man steals...... No, withdraw money, this is an emergency in the rivers and lakes, can it be called stealing? β
Lu Xi and the little boy are having the above non-nutritious conversations, and at the same time they are staging the old-fashioned drama of chasing me. Admittedly, this little boy has the potential to evolve into the legendary Persian monkey, maneuvering between the twists and turns of alleys and houses. If it weren't for Lu Xi's life in the dense Norda Forest for more than a year, it would be difficult not to be dumped, but if it was like this, Lu Xi was still tired and out of breath.
"I've been a bit lacking in exercise lately...... I thought that if I became a magician, I wouldn't have to do this kind of physical work. β
However, Lu Xi was tired, and the little boy who ran away was even more tired. Soon, in a small alley that is inaccessible, the boy stumbled and almost slipped to it, and Lu Xi took the opportunity to take a brisk walk and grabbed the back of the boy's neck. Although he caught this other party, Lu Xi was a little puzzled: Can it be regarded as a C-level task so simple?
"Let go of me, let go of me! You witch violent woman. β
Okay, you said it again! Lu Xi's three corpses jumped in anger, and the task was directly left behind, he turned the boy around, stretched out two hands and tore his cheeks to the sides.
"Pain and pain, Nu Jie Guo Zi Nu, Nu Lou Pang, Bo Le Gu Pa ......"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't you know that you slut, female hooligan, violent witch, can't you tell you about men and women?!"
"Gee, how do kids nowadays know so many words outside of their age range?" Lu Xi sighed at the terrible generation gap and the changes of the times, shrugged his shoulders and said, "In addition, let me tell you first, I am a man." β
"Male?" The little boy was slightly stunned, but then he became even more excited, "Let go of me, you sissy, dead pervert, yin and yang person, pseudo-mother, shemale!" β
"Stinky boy, you actually said so many forbidden words in one breath! Now even the goddess can't save you, so accept the punishment of heaven obediently! Saying this, Lu Xi pressed his two fists on the top of the boy's head and spun it vigorously.
"Ahh Sister Jade, help! β
"Sister Jade? Even Sister Diamond can't save you when she comes! β
"Sister Jade, it's this dead shemale who bullied me!"
"You're still making trouble......" Before the words fell, Lu Xi suddenly felt his heart tighten, and the cold hairs on the back of his head couldn't help but stand up. Subconsciously, he jumped to the side with the little boy in his arms, and then a huge invisible force blasted into the place where he was standing, and the stone pavement suddenly exploded. The swept wind pressure blew Lu Xi's face faintly painful.
Lu Xi pulled the little boy back a few steps. He let go of his hand, pulled out his staff in his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword hidden in his robes, facing the unknown sneak attacker as if he were facing a great enemy. However, when he saw the body of the "sneak attacker", he wondered if he was making a big fuss.
It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, not tall, but not petite either. She has long hair as warm and bright as jade, a ponytail that almost hangs down to her waist at the back of her head, delicate facial features, and even a hint of childishness in her emerald pupils; She had a slender waist and wore a simple knee-length skirt with a pair of slender legs exposed under the skirt and a pair of small boots wrapped under her feet. β¦,
No matter how you look at it, she is just a beautiful and delicate young girl, who can't be associated with danger at all. However, for the sake of insurance, Lu Xi still used the probing technique to scan the other party.
Name: Jade (?) Race: Human. Age: 17 years old.
Class: Warrior Level 25. Comprehensive strength: Silver 3rd tier. (System: Someone can knock you down with a single finger, but as a magician, you should be able to let others settle the battle without touching you, right?) So, are you going to push? Do you want to push? Or do you want to push it? οΌ
"Uh......" Lu Xi wiped his eyes, patted his head, and said to himself, "It seems that I have seen a hallucination." Are you going to sue me that this doll in front of you is actually a silver-level master? Several orders higher than me, a magical genius with cheats? β
"How's it going, are you scared?" The little boy was triumphant.
Looking at the deep crack on the ground, Lu Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly. At that moment, he burst into tears, eager to find a hole in the ground to get into.
After this period of hard work, he has already raised the level of the magician to level 15, and with great difficulty he has cultivated the Plastic Energy Science to the "Plastic Energy Mastery Level 2", and has learned a few more magics. Of course, there is still only one hand-to-hand combat ability is "swordsmanship basic level 5", if you still want to upgrade, you must take up another melee class within the "swordsman" and "warrior", and upgrade to level 10 or above. But once you have a dual class, the experience points of the upgrade will be gone.
For example, if Lu Xi's profession is Magician level 15 and Swordsman level 10, then whether you want to upgrade the Magician to level 16 or the Swordsman to level 11, the experience required will be (15+10+1), which is the experience required to upgrade from level 25 to level 26. In addition, every time Lu Xi upgrades, different classes will bring different attribute points to increase, but if the mage is level 15, then before the swordsman's level is lower than 15, the attributes obtained by upgrading will be halved.
From this point of view, a level 25 single class is not necessarily weaker than a double level 20 class, although the latter requires nearly twice as much experience and effort as the former.
Lu Xi is not yet extravagant enough to take up a second career, but his penance has paid off with good results. With the various equipment on his body, his comprehensive combat power has also reached the Silver 1st level, which has reached the average level of a battle mage serving in the regular army of the Federation. This progress has only been made in a matter of months, and it is already very comforting to Orucello.
However, Lu Xi's anti-heaven cheat device and system golden finger unmistakably told sΓΉ "the host of his own genius", even if he had several good pieces of equipment on his body, his comprehensive combat power was actually two orders lower than this bare-handed girl who looked like a doll.
How embarrassing is this for our generation......
"Help, Sister Jade." The little boy took the opportunity to break free of Lu Xi and strode towards the girl.
"This, you hit with your fist?" Lu Xi pointed to the crack in the ground and looked at the dust and stains on the girl's clenched right fist.
"Don't bully Jock." The girl said with a blank face.
"Hey, where are you saving people, you almost slapped us both into small cakes."
A blush flashed across the face of the girl known as "Jade", but it quickly disappeared, and she waved her hand at Jock, still with an expression of Furui Wubo: "Jock, let's go home." β
"Wait, give me back your wallet first." Lu Xi grabbed the little boy who was about to slip away.
"Let him go!" As soon as the girl's words fell, her figure was already bullied, and the punch was almost a few inches away from Lu Xi's nose.
Her fist slammed into a translucent mask of light.
It was the talisman around Lu Xi's neck that sensed the danger of his master and automatically released the arcane shield. Lu Xi also took advantage of this cushion to push back a few steps and put the staff across his chest. β¦,
"Good! Did you change it to a robbery? Want to fight? I'll just accompany you! "Mother, isn't it the silver third-order, the original gold third-order crypt lord was not the same as I beat it up! Lu Xi selectively forgot that it was the legendary Grand Druid Elder Tifario who drove out the Crypt Lord at that time, and he had nothing to do with him, a little otaku.
"Sister Jade......" The little boy looked at Lu Xi, who was accumulating magic power, and then looked at the girl, a little hesitant.
"Jock, you go home first." The girl patted the boy's head and rushed towards Lu Xi without saying anything.
At this time, a fireball had already accumulated, and it roared towards the girl.
The girl tilted her head, let go of the fireball, swung her legs, and swept towards Lu Xi's waist with a sweeping leg. Although that leg is slender and fit, if it is a weird Shu millet will definitely be willing to hold on, but if it is really swept away, it is estimated that no one will be in the mood to be obscene.
Lu Xi jumped backwards again to dodge his opponent's attack, and with one hand he shook his staff, releasing a swirling wind wheel.
The wind wheel drove the air, restraining the girl's actions in an instant, Lu Xi took the opportunity to concentrate, his eyes looked directly at the girl's emerald eyes, and opened his mouth to release a word spirit.
"Drink!"
This is a coercion technique, and ordinary people should be shocked by something similar to a psychic blow, and they may directly collapse to the ground, losing the ability to resist. However, the girl was obviously not an ordinary person, she was barely affected by the coercion technique, she just shook her head, and then forcefully tore through the confinement of the wind wheel and rushed up again.
"Do you have common sense to tear the magic apart with your hands? Uh, no, are you common sense? β
Lu Xi shouted and retreated, pinched the staff and performed another traction technique, lifted a grinding disc on the side of the road out of thin air, and smashed it towards the girl. With his current magical attainments, he could only lift such a heavy object.
"Boom!" The millstone was smashed to pieces by the girl's fist, but she herself was unscathed.
"Why is your hair green and not cherry?"
Lu Xi finished this incomprehensible complaint, then turned around and ran.
Hopeless, I despair of this world with no common sense at all. Lu Xi thought with tears streaming down his face.
He was only a level 15 magician, and he hadn't reached the point where his teacher was comfortable with any powerful arcane arts, and it would have been a great loss to go head-to-head with a warrior. Besides, the girl just now not only has good martial arts, but also has a strange power that even ghosts and gods are afraid of. The third order of silver really lives up to its name. In this case, it should be a good choice to retreat.
", why did I say that the task of catching thieves is C-level, it turns out that there is such a female bandit hidden......"
The girl looked at Lu Xi's escape, and had no intention of chasing after her.
"Wait, if I just run away like this, will it really be 'possessed by a poor god' within a year?" After running two steps, Lu Xi suddenly remembered this question and immediately stopped without hesitation.
"No, you stole my wallet, why did I run away?"
Thinking of this, Lu Xi looked at the girl in the distance steadily, and found that the other party had no intention of rushing over at all, closed his eyes and chanted a word, the staff in his left hand was erected in front of his chest, and the fingers of his right hand began to change various gestures.
The energy of the thunderbolt began to accumulate at the call of Lu Xi, and then slowly condensed into shape, gradually wrapping Lu Xi's right fist.
He stretched out his hand, and the thunderbolt turned into a lightning bolt, slashing at the girl in the distance like a tomahawk.
This is the strongest attack power that Lu Xi has mastered so far, the Thunder Axe Technique.
As if sensing that this power could not be underestimated, the girl made a dashing continuous backflip, dodging several attacks from the Thunder Axe. She stood up, and there seemed to be a thin trace of anger on her expressionless face. Then she walked to the side of the road, crouched down, and thrust her hands into the stone pavement. β¦,
In Lu Xi's dumbfounding, the girl actually lifted a stone slab that was taller than her.
"Whew!" The slate flew whizzing.
As a result, the last attack of the Thunder Axe had to change direction. Thunder and lightning collided with the slate, one invisible, the other torn apart.
"You forced me," Lu Xi shouted at the girl, "Don't think that if you are a girl, I will show mercy!" For the sake of my happy life in the next year, you should be enlightened! β
He had already drawn Parn's Mithril Sword in his right hand, and with a sharp swing of his staff in his left hand, the Shaped Crystal in the front section quickly pulled through the blade. Suddenly, the Mithril blade, which contained cold aura, was wrapped in tangible flames and thunder.
Generally speaking, ordinary metals are more repellent to magical elements, so magic such as the Fire Sword and Lightning Sword cannot be combined with weapons, but the four sacred metals of Mithril, Adamantite Gold, Oz Steel, and Star Iron are not among them. Sure enough, the Mithril Sword was very lightly combined with the fire thunder.
Lu Xi waved his sword with his hand, and the thunder light that jumped on the blade suddenly smashed to the ground, forming a deep crack.
Looking at such a powerful power, Lu Xi nodded with satisfaction, as if he had regained a little courage, he pointed at the girl and shouted, "Hurry up and surrender." Just tell the little boy to hand over his wallet, and I'll be out of the question! β
The girl tilted her head and was seriously annoyed, as if she thought that she was a little disadvantaged against the enemy empty-handed. She looked around, broke a street lamp from the side of the road, twisted the lamp pole into an iron rod, danced it, seemed to be very satisfied, and continued to face Lu Xi with an expressionless face.
This and this seem to have constituted the crime of vandalism. Isn't it just a wallet, as far as it goes? Lu Xi looked at the girl and was speechless.
It seems to be too big. Although I think so, it seems that this situation can't stop now.
Just when the two of them were tense and on the verge of breaking out, a broken cry sounded.
"What are you doing?!"
Lu Xi looked up, and saw that more than a dozen wingmen in uniform soldiers had appeared on the eaves on both sides of the street, bending their bows and arrows, and they were murderous. The streets on both sides were also full of heavily armed patrol soldiers, who had already surrounded themselves and the girl.
A man dressed in a magician's robe, but with a sheriff's badge on his chest, stood in the crowd, glaring at him. It seems that the broken cry just now was made by him.
Doesn't it mean that the police will arrive last? Why do federal police move so fast? Looking at this formation, it literally takes me for a terrorist.
Lu Xi rolled his eyes, put down his sword and staff, and surrendered.
By this time, several patrolmen had already swarmed up and pinned the girl to the ground.
Perhaps because of his identity as a magician, Lu Xi was assigned to a single detention cell, and even the magistrate who arrested him only asked a few words, and did not embarrass him anymore.
However, even so, Lu Xi really couldn't be happy.
"The day after I arrived in Elichar, I was arrested by the police. It's an experience I haven't had in another world for more than 10 years. If the teacher knew, he didn't know how he would be furious...... Why don't I find a place to hide for a few days, and then go back when he gets out of the limelight? β
Just when Lu Xi was thinking nonsense, a patrolman knocked on the door and said respectfully: "Lord Lu Xi, someone is coming to pick you up, you can go back." β
A police officer actually called the suspect an "adult", and the high status of magicians in this country, Lu Xi finally had an intuitive understanding.
Naturally, it was Lassell's disciple and assistant officer Arantis who came to pick him up, looking at the handsome sunny guy's smiling expression, Lu Xi almost didn't find a crack in the ground to get into. β¦,
"Laugh if you want, why have a constipated face." Lu Xi said angrily.
"Huh...... Haha, I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh. Hahaha......" Arantis leaned against the wall, almost laughing straight up.
"To be able to provide you with such a pleasant mood, then it is worth it for me to enter the sheriff's mansion once. Didn't Master Russell say anything? β
"The teacher said, "Well, what an energetic child, hehe."
"Huh?"
"yes, that's it."
It's over, it's a shame, Uncle Russell will definitely give a small report to the teacher, I'd better find a good place to run first.
"By the way," Lu Xi asked, "Where is the girl who was arrested with me?" β
"I don't know." Arantis shrugged, "However, your wallet was stolen, and the girl clearly covered the thief's escape, and has been identified as an accomplice." I guess he was sent to an official prison area, right? β
"Huh? Is the case verdict without going through a court trial? β
Alantis glanced at Lu Xi strangely: "Does such a small case still have to be decided by the court?" Moreover, the girl is said to have been unable to find her identity and employment certificate, so she should be a refugee, and naturally she does not have to go to court for the crime. β
Alas, it is really a country with a lack of human rights. Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh.
"Usually in this case, what would she say?"
"According to the law, there should be a sentence of three months to six months in prison, and then six months of compulsory labor."
"Actually, isn't it just a wallet? She is a beautiful woman, but she is a thief. Lu Xi thought of the warm and bright hair like jade and the gorgeous and elegant eyes like emeralds, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned. However, if you steal someone else's things, you should be punished. β
Thinking of this, Lu Xi ignored it anymore and asked again: "Then ...... my wallet?"
"Don't worry. Now that the owner has been caught, the thief won't be able to hide for long. I promise: in two days at most, your wallet will come back obediently. β
"Well, Brother Alain, my brother's happiness for the next year is all up to you and the federal police. I don't want to be able to drink cold water and eat instant noodles next year......"
"Huh? It's just a wallet, why can you just drink cold water and eat instant noodles? You're not stupid enough to put all your possessions in your wallet, are you? β
"That...... I can only say that it is a test of the goddess for me. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders with a heavy heart, he was now all focused on the "poor god possession" of the cheating father, but he didn't notice that Alantir wanted to speak again.
