Chapter 20: The Thief and His Men

After crossing the magnificent bridge, one of the guards came up to Henry and said, "I'm a member of the Flame Fist, and the toll fee is one gold coin each." Please tell us where you are from. Henry took a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to the guard, saying to him, "I am from the High Fence Fort. The guards let him into the city.

After entering the city, you can see the endless flow of people, and a large number of merchants and citizens come and go. Follow the passer-by to inquire about Habasser. Archmage Delin opened a witchcraft grocery store in the neighborhood that sold expensive magical items and scrolls. He decided to find a place to rest for the night now and visit again tomorrow. Before it got dark, he found an inn. There is a sign on the beautiful house at the door that reads "Song of the Elves", a rather poetic name.

There were a lot of people sitting in the spacious hall inside, and most of the ordinary people were complaining about the day's work. Merchants exchanged information with each other. There was also a small number of people discussing gossip in the city's aristocratic circles. Henry deftly dodged two pickpockets before coming to the bartender.

"Give me a business suite, plus a dinner." He shouted at the bartender. The commotion in the hall made him feel the urge to use sound illusions.

"One gold coin for one night in the room, 5 silver coins for the special package." The chubby bartender spat out every word in his deep bass pitch so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Henry took out two gold coins and put them on the table and said, "One room, two special packages." Give me the keys first, the damn noise is unbearable. Please have dinner delivered to your room. ”

The bartender took out a key from under the counter and pointed to the stairs, "From here, the innermost room on the left side of the second floor." Henry quickly took the key and went upstairs without looking back. Gently open the door of the room, and you can't see anything in the dark room. Just as he was about to perform a lighting spell, a metal object was pressed against his waist. "Don't move, don't make a sound. Hand over the money you have. A hoarse voice said.

Henry gently put his right hand on his waist as if he was about to take the money bag, then pulled out his scimitar and slashed it behind his back. There was a ding, and his weapon was cut in two. He then kicked at the shadow, closing his eyes and quickly using a flash. "Ah, Amy, I can't see it." "I'm Robert too." After hearing two screams, Henry opened his eyes and performed a light spell.

I saw two little ghosts rolling on the ground with their hands covering their eyes, which made Henry, who was originally a little nervous, almost laugh. He inserted the scimitar and took out two ropes from the dimensional bag, tied both thieves together, and sat down to watch quietly. At this time, one of them suddenly began to cry, and when he heard her cry, Henry realized that it was a dirty girl. He has slightly messy blonde hair and his clothes are full of holes. He was about 13 years old, and his face looked like a cat.

"Sir, please spare us. We were really hungry and crawled in from the back of the house. We were just looking for something to eat. The girl said as she cried. The boy was slightly older, and kept his head down and said nothing. He smiled at this. I looked down and checked the weapon I had just chopped off, and found that it was just a rusty piece of iron, and I guess I could break it with a little force.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Sir, your dinner." Double special package. Henry quickly extinguished the light spell and whispered to the two imps, "Don't make a sound, or I'll hand you over to the guards." Seeing the two imps nodding, he went to open the door.

Opening the door, he smiled at the waitress who brought the food and said, "Thank you very much, just give them to me now, I'm hungry." As he spoke, he took over two huge plates. The waitress was a little dazed by his smile and ran down the stairs with a flushed face.

After closing the door, he put dinner on the table and lit the candles. The stomachs of the two imps suddenly let out a burst of screams, and Henry turned to look at them one by one. The boy was silently swallowing, and the girl was flushed. He turned and took a wooden basin and made some water, placed it in front of the two thieves, and untied the rope for them. "Wash your face and hands first, then sit down." Henry said to the two children.

The two of them honestly washed their hands and faces and sat down in front of him. "Tell me what your names are." He suddenly found the current situation interesting.

"My name is Amy, and he's my older brother Robert." The girl spoke first.

"What about your parents? Don't they care about you? Henry continued.

"Our parents committed suicide a year ago when they went bankrupt and owed a huge amount of debt. The creditor said he was going to sell Amy to **, and we've been hiding ever since. The boy said with a sad expression.

It turned out to be a pair of orphans, and Henry thought about it and thought that he could take them for himself. "Will you swear by your souls and work for me for my master?" After saying that, he looked at them quietly.

The girl swallowed and turned to look at her brother, while Robert gritted his teeth. After a while, the boy fell to his knees in front of Henry, raised a hand, and said, "I, Robert. Rystan swore with his soul that he would serve his master until he died. With that, the system logo in Henry's hand flashed, and a light shot into the boy's head. Henry saw this phenomenon and decided to stay quiet. When the girl saw that her brother had taken an oath, she also learned from her brother to kneel in front of Henry and raise her hand and say, "I, Amy. Rystan swore with his soul that he would serve his master until he died. Another flash of light entered the girl's forehead.

After seeing that the two of them had sworn an oath, he pushed the two plates over and said, "Okay, let's eat first." I'll go downstairs and buy some more food. The brother and sister thanked Henry for the reward and began to devour, and it seemed that they were indeed hungry.

"You eat first, I'll go downstairs and buy some more food." After saying that, he walked out of the room and closed the door. I found a corner where no one was and turned on the system.

Human, male, 14-year-old, absolutely neutral, slightly wicked (you have successfully kidnapped two ignorant children to voluntarily sacrifice their souls and loyalty.)

After reading it, Henry closed the system and became a little excited, finally having a reliable subordinate. Now the right thing to do is to train Robert in a thief's guild, and Amy will take her with her first.

When he came to the lobby to buy a new set meal, the bartender watched him go upstairs with the eyes of a rice bucket and hurried back to his room. The brother and sister had finished eating everything they could swallow on their plates and sat quietly in their chairs. Henry walked over to the table, put down the plate, sat down, and began to eat. While eating, he said to the two of them, "Now I will introduce myself to you." My name is Henry and I'm a mage and druid. You can call me master or just by name. Robert, you stay at the hotel tomorrow, and Amy will go out with me. Now you can sleep. ”

"Yes, master," said the brother and sister, they found one in the corner of the room, curled up and began to sleep. After dinner, Henry took out two camping blankets from his dimensional bag and covered them with Robert and Amy. This is the subordinate you can rely on in the future.

The night passed quickly and the sun slowly rose. The hustle and bustle of the city in the early morning woke Henry out of his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and found that the brother and sister had already gotten up. The elder brother sat on the table and stayed quietly, while the younger sister lay on the edge of the ** and looked at the crowd coming and going in the distance.

"Master, I'm sorry I woke you up by opening the window?" Amy asked, a little scared.

"No, it's fine. It's time to get started. As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the little girl's head.

After getting dressed, he made two buckets of water and took out two towels and handed them to Robert and Amy, saying, "Here, clean the dirt from your body." I'm going out to buy some breakfast and a change of clothes for you. When he came to the street, he followed the crowd for a short time, and a sign on the side of the road attracted him. "Lucky Arrow's Sale Shop" is a very distinctive name. When I entered the store, I found that most of the shelves were filled with old goods. Walking to the counter, the owner smiled at Henry and said, "Good morning, Mr. Mage, welcome to my shop." Do you need some magic scrolls and potions, we're a lot cheaper than the Witchcraft Grocery Store. ”

He was surprised that there were magical items sold in such a place where old goods were sold. But after seeing the real thing, I have no interest, and all the scrolls and potions here are past their expiration date. In other words, no one knows what will happen after using the Dao. Maybe it's an explosion, maybe it's just a bottle of poison. After buying a bunch of new clothes, boots, and socks for the brother and sister from the inside to the outside, he turned and left. ———————————————————————————————
