Chapter 7: Targeting the Senior Magician
Ciri had never seen a flying snake.
I have never seen a snake carrying a person on its back.
Ever since Xi Rui got married.
His marriage was not very happy.
At the beginning, he did rely on the generous pension to meet many of the demands of his wife and her family.
Good times are not long.
When the pension ran out, he had little source of income because of his disability.
After my daughter Leah was born, life became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, he is also an intermediate swordsman and still has a certain combat ability even though he is missing a leg.
Since then, he has made a living by hunting.
But his wife still thinks he is poor.
In addition, he is disabled, which makes me dislike him more and more every day.
later.
My wife basically lives in her parents' home in town 364 days a year and rarely returns to her home in Roge Village.
Xirui is a man of blood.
Under the premise of an unhappy marriage, if a woman shows a little care for him at this time, he will be eager to make a move.
Lily, the widow who works as a tailor at home, is so gentle and kind.
Not only did she make a wooden leg for him, she also skillfully made several sets of clothes for him.
Where is the woman at home?
Throughout the year, we only saw each other a few times when I sent Leah to the city.
When we met, he was sarcastic again.
Who can bear it?
I don't know when it started, but Ciri started to like going to the widow Lily.
Find spiritual comfort.
It won’t work during the day, it has to be at night.
After all, the woman he married was from the town, and now this is called "stealing".
last night.
Xirui was about to go to the Widow Lily to take care of her legs.
I saw the scene mentioned at the beginning.
A flying python carrying a person.
This frightened him so much that he quickly hid behind a tree.
Only after he saw the snake fly away did he dare to take a closer look.
When I looked up, I saw an unconscious young man.
At this moment.
The widow Lily, who had been waiting at home for a long time, found that Xirui had not arrived yet, so she went to the entrance of the village.
When he saw a shirtless man with a burnt right hand on the ground, he tiptoed over.
"What are you doing?" Xirui grabbed her, looking nervous.
"Look at his hand, is he holding something? It looks like gold coins!" Lily quickly pointed at the man's hand on the ground.
Although the night was dark, the glittering gold coins could never escape the greedy eyes.
Xirui also saw the luster of the gold coins.
After poking the person on the ground a few times with a branch and making sure that the other person did not react, he stepped forward and pried the other person's hands open.
1 gold coin, and 1 badge.
"This gold coin is enough for us to live for a year!"
Lily quickly snatched the gold coin from Xirui and bit it with her teeth.
However, Xirui looked extremely panicked.
His attention was entirely on the badge.
"Give me the gold coins quickly! Do you know who he is? He is a high-level magician! You want to kill him? Do you want to die?"
Ciri tried to grab the gold coins again, but Lily dodged it!
"Humph! I don't care! I, Lili, have been through thick and thin with you. If you don't give me this gold coin, I will tell the whole village about our affair tomorrow! And your wife in town too!"
"You...you're crazy!"
"You are crazy! Who do you care who he is? Kill him! Who knows about the gold coin?"
"I think you are really crazy. Do I want to live after killing a magician?"
"Then you can rescue him and take him home. Maybe he will be grateful to you after he wakes up. Anyway, I don't care. The gold coin belongs to me!"
After saying that, Lily went home without looking back.
It seemed that in her eyes, Xirui was not as important as this gold coin.
Lily's words reminded Xirui.
This magician was brought here by the python, so his identity must be unusual.
If we can save him, he will definitely repay our kindness when he wakes up.
That's not just a reward of one gold coin, but a great favor.
Rumor has it that magicians are all rich people, so a life is naturally worth a lot of money.
Think of this.
Xirui took the man back and collected the senior magician's badge.
Even if there is no reward in the end, this exquisite high-level magician badge can still be sold for a lot of money.
With that in mind, Xirui took the man back home.
And asked his daughter Leah to take good care of him.
He turned around and went up the mountain to kill a wild boar, preparing to go to the town to sell it for some money when daybreak.
He also needed to confirm whether any high-ranking magician had disappeared in the area recently.
So that he can be sold at a high price.
This senior magician had a very strong vitality and woke up overnight.
But he seemed to have lost his memory and didn't even remember that he was a magician.
Then how do you ask for compensation?
Think about it.
Xirui decided to take people to find her good brother Sim in the town.
Sim was his best brother.
Having saved his life, Sim had to come up with the plan on this matter.
After all, having a senior magician with amnesia following you around all the time is not a good thing.
He knew that Langton, who worked at the Magic Association office in town, was only an intermediate magician.
The value of a high-level magician can be imagined.
Unfortunately.
After driving in the carriage for several hours, Sim still did not appear.
Since I can't meet Sim, I'll go to the Magic Association's office in Rogue Town to ask, maybe I can find out something.
After leaving with an excuse, Xi Rui came to the Magic Association's office in Rogue Town.
I have to say that the Magic Association is very prestigious.
The exquisiteness of the entire building is one of the best in the entire Rogue Town.
"Mr. Langton is not here. Come back another day."
As soon as she entered the door, a magic apprentice shouted to Xirui.
There are only two staff members in the entire office.
A Langton, an apprentice.
Apprentices don't have much power.
When the boss is not around, it's basically just the customer service.
There was no way Xi Rui would leave empty-handed, so she quickly stepped forward and stuffed two copper coins into the apprentice's hand.
This apprentice is also a smart guy.
The face that was impatient just now immediately became attentive.
"What can I do for you? Does your child need to be tested for magical talent?"
"No, I want to ask you about someone." Xirui said.
"Oh? Who?"
"His name is Feng, he's about 20 years old, a high-level magician, and he has a black arm."
"A 20-year-old high-level magician?"
The apprentice was a little surprised.
He is now 16 years old and still an apprentice.
Staying in this crappy town, following a boss who can't teach me anything.
By the time he was 20, he was at best a junior magician.
When will I be able to become a high-level magician?
"Maybe. Have you heard of it?"
"To become a high-level magician at the age of 20, one must be a gifted person or someone from a big family. I can't get in touch with such a person."
"That's right!"
Xirui had a little surprise.
It seems that the guy I picked up is very likely to have a very wealthy background!
"Do you have a photo of him so I can keep an eye out for him?"
"No need. I will give my regards to Mr. Langdon when he comes back. Good-bye."
After saying that, Xirui left the Magic Association office with a smile on her face.
"A strange person." The apprentice muttered.
Just when he was planning to catch some more fish while the boss was away.
Another person pushed the door open and walked in.
The apprentice glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
He saw an extremely black hand resting on the table in front of him.
