Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

The roads in the slums were dirtier than expected, and the dark sewage was everywhere. Farasi frowned, holding a robe in one hand to prevent the sewage from staining her clothes, and holding a handkerchief in the other hand to cover her nose.In order not to step on the sinkhole, Faras walked very slowly and had fallen behind the team.

Reid followed Farasi's side and supported her to prevent her from stepping on the messy things on the ground and falling.

Elina, who was also a lady, didn't care, strode on the sewage, and seemed to adapt to such an environment. The others came to the front under the leadership of Alina.

Most of the miners living in the slums were bent over, showing vicissitudes of life, and there were some dark women carrying big wooden barrels. They didn’t know what was in the barrels. They gave off an unpleasant smell and saw someone coming. Here, everyone hastily hid in the low room, seeming to be very scared, seemingly scared by the recent continuous disappearance cases.

There are only a few children who are not afraid. They look at the members of the Leis team from a distance to see what they are doing.

Seeing the people here seemed very afraid of her party, Alina stopped, took out her purse, and took out a lot of silver coins.She said loudly to the surroundings: "Who will answer my questions? I will give a silver coin to each question."

The people around did not make a sound, but looked at Alina warily.

Alina saw a little boy close to herself, and she walked over with a smile.A scared look appeared on the face of the little boy, his body shrank and he squatted on the ground, but his eyes stared starvingly at the large silver coins in Alina's hand, showing a look of desire.

Alina was not old, she stood beside the boy as if she were his sister.Alina said slowly in a soft tone: "What's your name?"

The little boy was shocked, obviously a little scared in his heart, but the charm of the silver coin overcomes the fear in his heart, he whispered: "My name is Jim"

Alina put a silver coin in the hands of the little boy Jim.

Jim quickly held the silver coin with both hands.

Alina asked again: "How old are you this year?"

Jim glanced at Alina, who was not much taller than himself, and said in an immature voice, "Is this the second question?"

Jim's words immediately caused kind laughs from the other members of the Reth team. Alina took out another silver coin. Jim quickly took it and said, "I am twelve years old this year."

Ryan looked at Jim incredible, the boy in front of him was 15 years old?However, for many years, he can’t eat enough to make him look like a child under ten years old, and when he grows up, he can only repeat the things his father and grandfather did, and if he still With the next generation, it is impossible to get out of this quagmire.

Ryan's heart was filled with compassion, he took out a gold coin, walked up, and handed it to Jim.

There was a hot light in Jim's eyes, he took Ryan's gold coin with a trembling hand, and then stuck it to his body.

Not only Jim, but everyone present showed the same expression.

Many people here are dozens of years old, but they have never really owned gold coins, even if they only held them for a while.

Jim lightly stroked the gold coin and handed it to Ryan. Ryan didn't ask for it, but said softly to Jim: "You accept it. I gave it to you. You look like my brother. He should About your age."

Ryan was afraid that Jim would not want it, so he made up a story on purpose.

Jim looked at Ryan, who had a kind look in his eyes. Jim retracted his hand holding the gold coin and said to Ryan, "Thank you, sir."

Alina stroked Jim's head and said softly, "Do you know a girl named Jessie?"

Jim nodded, pointed to a low house in the distance and said, she lives there.

Alina nodded and said, "Thank you, Jim, you are a kind, good boy."

According to Jim's instructions, the Reth team found Jiexi's house. Alina stood at the door and said loudly, "Is anyone home?"

The door was pushed open, and a thin little girl came out.The hair on her head is messy, she doesn't know what she is wearing, it's dark, only a pair of big eyes are very bright.

Alina asked, "Little girl, is Jiexi here?"

The little girl looked at Alina timidly with big eyes, and said, "I am."

Alina knelt down and said to Jiexi with a smile: "Jiexi, don't be afraid, we are not bad guys, we are here to catch bad guys."

Jessie said, "Sister, I'm not afraid."

Alina touched Jessie's hair with pity, and said to her, "Jiexi, we are here to investigate the disappearance. You once said that the devil took them away. Can you tell us the specifics?"

Hearing Alina talking about the devil, Jessie's eyes showed a look of fear, and her body was trembling slightly.

When Reid saw Jiexi's appearance, he quickly cast a blessing spell.

The blessing technique gleaming with white light enveloped all the people present, causing a courage to despise all the evil in the world.

Jessie was not afraid anymore, she said to Alina: "Jessie is telling the truth, but they don't believe me."

Alina said: "Sister believes you, tell your sister."

Jessie said, “I was playing outside of the city once, and there were piles of useless slag. I wanted to pick out some copper sand from the slag. They could exchange copper coins with those who came by carriage. I found it. They didn’t know a place. There was a lot of copper sand there. I didn’t finish picking it for a long time. Then it was dark and I wanted to go home, but I saw several people in black, each carrying a big Came over."

"Men in black?" Alina asked

Jessie said, "Yes. The pockets on their backs are still moving."

"What happened later?" Faras asked.

Ryan heard what Farath said, and remembered the scene with Farath last night, his face flushed, and Jessie didn’t hear clearly what happened next. He knew it was not the time to think about this, so he quickly concentrated and continued. Listen to Jessie.

"Suddenly a terrible demon emerged from the ground. The flesh on its body was rotten. I could smell the smell from a long distance, and bones were exposed in many places."

Alina said, "Jessie, speak slowly and tell the scene at the time. This is very important."

Jessie said, "The demon is two people tall, big, and has four hands... By the way, it holds a huge axe in each hand. I'm so scared, I hide in the ore. Behind the pile, he did not dare to move. The demon squirted into every pocket, but the pockets stopped moving. Then a few piles of bones appeared on the ground."

Reid asked suddenly: "How many piles of bones?"

Jessie said, "Yes, they are not wearing clothes, they are all bones, not even a bit of meat. They picked up those pockets and went back, and the demon followed. I waited for the people in black to leave. Then I walked out quietly. I was so frightened, I ran home. Later I learned that my brother was gone. I told the adults about these things. They didn’t believe me and even told my little child a lie. Jiexi He is an honest child and can't tell lies."

Alina said, "Jessie, Jessie is an honest child and doesn't tell lies."

Farasi took out two gold coins and put them in Jessie's hands, and said to her, "This is a reward from my sister for an honest child, please put it away."

Jessie didn't dare to ask for it. She only saw this kind of shiny gold coin from the soldiers guarding the city. She knew that this thing was very valuable, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make a lifetime of picking copper sand.

Falash said: "Honest children should be rewarded for not telling lies. You should hide it and don't let others know."

Jessie said, "I see, sister. Others will steal it if they find out."

Farasi smiled and nodded. She was moved by Jessie's innocence, as if the smell was not obvious anymore.

After listening to Jiexi's words, Reid's face was always wrong. He saw Falasi giving the gold coins to Jiexi, and said to everyone: "Since we have understood the situation, let's go back."
