— Looking for recommendation votes on Monday. Hmm, the update time will return to normal. Monday to Friday, 8: 30 a.m. to 9: 00 a.m., 6: 30 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m., and on weekends, 12: 00 p.m. and 6: 30 p.m. … … …
Jackson pinched his chin and smiled, "André, you've been doing well recently. By the way, what did you say just now?"
André smiled and said, "Brother Jackson, it's just a small matter. I saw a young man that I know. He's been going out of the city every day for the past few days, so it's a little strange."
"Did you notice what he brought out and what he brought back?" Jackson smiled kindly, but for some reason, André and Mago both felt a little cold.
Mago claimed that he had one-sixteenth of the Arlan Highland Barbarian bloodline, and that he was a villain who believed in fists only a little less than the God of Truth. After being asked by Jackson, he immediately found it hard to answer. André was a little more normal. After thinking for a while, he said with uncertainty, "I think he brought out an old linen bag. When he came back, he seemed to have something in the bag. But in this season, in the Black Forest opposite the Belem River, mushrooms are the most abundant. Maybe he went to pick mushrooms?"
"Do you need a strong young man to pick mushrooms? The edge of the Black Forest is not dangerous. A little girl and a little boy are enough. "Jackson shook his head.
André gathered his courage and asked, "But, brother Jackson, what's so strange about a dirty and poor boy like him?"
Aalto had three gates in total. The gate facing the Belem River and the Black Forest was the busiest. There were many merchants, civilians, mercenaries, and adventurers coming and going every day. André and Mago did not have the energy to pay attention to a poor boy like Lucien.
Jackson smiled and said, "The blacksmith Reg came to find me the day before yesterday. He bought a good metal fragment from a young man. It's a kind of copper that only the rich and powerful can afford. Although it's of the lowest quality, it's helpful in making a sharper dagger. Therefore, he is very curious about the origin of the copper and wants to see if we can get a hold of the source. "
"Brother Jackson, are you saying that Lucien was the one who sold the copper to Legg?" Mago's muscular brain connected the two together, regardless of whether there was any evidence.
Jackson nodded slightly. "He was very careful. Legg couldn't follow him. The copper shards were also processed and I couldn't see where they came from. So I spent more than a day to find a clue in the market. He has taken action too many times in the past few days, and it is inevitable that he will leave an impression on others. Some people will always come to the city gate area at this time. Hehe, I didn't expect you to know him. That's great. "
"Big Brother Jackson, what do we need to do?" André hurriedly asked Jackson.
Jackson pointed at the city gate and said, "Tell me his identity first. Then, follow him and see where he got those things from. If he finds out, subdue him and interrogate him directly. Then, you can have all the copper coins on him."
"Yes, Big Brother Jackson." Mago answered before André could, and the muscles on his face were trembling.
It had been more than ten days since he last used his fists to teach someone a lesson. Now that he was going to have a good fight, he was very excited.
…
Holding the linen bag in his hand, Lucien was walking on the way to the Belem River. Lucien had calmed down after the initial excitement of finding a way to make money. Now he was thinking about how to make money without being noticed, at least before he had enough money to make five Nars.
Although I've been paying attention to many things, I've never done this kind of thing before, and I'm not very familiar with this world either. It's hard to say if I've missed anything. Well, according to the plan, tomorrow I'll walk through the city gate area, and the day after tomorrow I'll leave through the city gate in the Norland area. After three days, I'll switch to the city gate in the Purple Lily area.
The Purple Lily area was the civilian area of Aalto, and the Norland area was another market area. The city gate was very far from the Belem River. If Lucien left through the city gate area, even if he went to the Metzer Black Forest to pick some mushrooms, it would only take him two hours to go back and forth. However, if he left through the city gate area, it would take him at least three hours to go back and forth.
While thinking, Lucien suddenly had a vague feeling that he was being followed.
"Who is following me?" Lucien was very alert.
Ever since he was almost strangled to death by Gary in the sewers, Lucien realized that his mind was very sharp, and he had supernatural senses. Relying on this, he was able to successfully get rid of the greedy people who were following him when he was selling goods.
Not daring to be careless, Lucien pretended that nothing was wrong. After turning a corner on the flat road, he took advantage of the bushes and trees blocking his sight to immediately run. Then, he rushed into the sparse forest and hid behind a big tree, waiting for the people following him to appear.
Lucien was very calm at this moment. He had to figure out who was following him so that he could think of a way to deal with it in the future.
After one or two minutes, two heavy footsteps sounded and stopped at the corner. Then, they stuck their heads out and looked at where Lucien was.
"Damn it, that kid ran away!"
"André, you should have listened to me. No matter where he went, just catch him and give him a good beating. Then, we will know everything!"
The two men did not care about hiding, and their angry curses reached Lucien's ears.
At first, Lucien was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar, but when Mago called out Andre's name, Lucien immediately realized who it was. "Aaron Gang is suspecting me? So fast? "
Although he was confused, Lucien did not think too much about how he was discovered so fast, because this was a world with many strange methods and methods. He took a light breath and planned to wait for the two men to leave, then immediately go to another gate and go back to his house. He would take out his hidden Nar and Copper Fells and find a place to hide for a few days. After that, he would just promise John that he would go to Sir Wayne's manor to be a brewer's apprentice.
Andre and Mago argued on the spot for a minute. Seeing that Lucien was indeed gone, they both became depressed. Jackson was a very ruthless person. If they messed up the task that he gave them, they would not have a good ending.
"Mago, didn't you always boast that you have the blood of a barbarian and that you can distinguish the smell in the wind?" André suddenly remembered something that Mago had mentioned when he was bragging before.
Mago rubbed his bald head and said in a hoarse voice, "I forgot. Sometimes I can distinguish, sometimes I can't. "
Lucien who was not far away heard the conversation between the two, and his vigilance rose again. He had only transmigrated for a few days, and his understanding of this world was still lacking.
Mago raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. Suddenly, he shouted excitedly, "I smell that damn kid's stench!"
As he shouted, he took large strides and ran towards the tree Lucien was hiding in. André followed closely behind.
When Lucien heard Mago's shout, he had already turned around and ran. He wanted to rely on his speed to get rid of the two.
But who knew that although Mago was tall and muscular, he could run very fast. The distance between him and Lucien was getting shorter and shorter. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of crashing into trees a few times, he could have already grabbed Lucien's clothes.
The forest on the bank of the Belem River was very sparse. As Lucien ran, the area in front of him became wider. He could no longer rely on the trees and agility to avoid Mago.
However, Lucien didn't panic. Compared to Gary, a high order Knight squire, Mago's pressure was much weaker, not to mention those fierce red-eyed rats.
"I can't run anymore. When Mago catches up and André is still some distance away, I'll take him down first." Lucien quickly made a decision.
When Lucien was on high alert, Mago's excited roar sounded in Lucien's ears.
Lucien immediately stopped. He lowered his body, lowered his head, and kicked his feet, knocking into Mago's chest.
Mago did not expect that Lucien would stop all of a sudden. He could not control his body and rushed forward. Subconsciously, he threw out a punch with his right hand. However, Lucien was already prepared for it. Mago's punch only missed Lucien's head.
As soon as Lucien knocked into Mago's chest, his tightly clenched right fist fiercely punched Mago's soft abdomen. Mago's stomach churned and a sour taste came out of his throat. He cried out in pain.
However, for Mago who had one-sixteenth of the Barbarian bloodline, this kind of attack wasn't enough to make him lose his fighting strength. After two seconds, his left elbow had already struck downwards.
However, before he could strike, Lucien's right leg had already bent. His knee fiercely and accurately struck between Mago's legs.
"Ouch!!"
Mago who was mixed blood to the point that his Barbarian bloodline couldn't be seen let out a long and mournful cry. He covered his lower body with both hands and rolled around on the ground in extreme pain.
When André saw this scene, he suddenly felt a chill in his crotch and slowed down his footsteps.
Lucien didn't even look at him. He turned around and ran again because André was holding a shining dagger. There was nothing nearby that could be used as a weapon. He didn't even know how strong André was. Besides, Mago might be able to recover his fighting strength after a while. After all, his body was too strong.
André chased for a dozen steps. Seeing that the distance between him and Lucien was getting farther and farther, and that Mago was still rolling around behind him and howling in pain, he finally stopped after a moment of hesitation.
… …
"Without strength, there is no sense of security in this world. I can't even make a small fortune." Lucien couldn't help but sigh after his previous encounter. Something was stirring in his heart.
It was currently nine in the morning. Lucien who had just returned to Aalto from Norland's city gate, sneaked into his house in the slums and prepared to take out the money that he had hidden. After all, André and Mago knew him. They knew that he was introduced to them by Cohen. Therefore, the Aaron Gang might have already found out about his background and where he lived. He only hoped that he could get ahead of them. Otherwise, all his efforts over the past few days would be for naught.
Lucien hid behind the outer wall of a house and secretly observed his house. When he saw that there was no one around, he wanted to find a neighbor and ask him. Suddenly, he saw a dozen men aggressively walking towards his house.
A neatly dressed man with an ordinary appearance pointed his finger. A young man with thick arms stood out and fiercely kicked Lucien's door. The already broken wooden door was kicked flying.
