  "Am I supposed to look like a bad person?" Dororo suddenly felt an urge to cry. However, in front of a beggar, he still put on the airs of a magician.

  Taking a glance at Xiǎ Yā's robust physique, he dispelled the idea of forcefully robbing him (better to trick him into going somewhere deserted and knock him out instead!)

  Dororo narrowed his triangular eyes and forced a smile: "Let me introduce myself first, I am a magician."

  Xia Yali stared blankly at Duoduo Luo, without any reaction.

  Duoduo didn't expect the reverent gaze, it seemed that the young man in front of him had no different reaction when hearing the word "magician" than when hearing "a pig's head".

  After an awkward silence, Duoduo Luo finally lost patience and continued staring at each other. He coughed: "Cough... Don't you know what a magician is?"

  "I know." Xia Yali nodded solemnly. As a mountain dweller, he often came and went in Wildfire Town, so how could he not know what a magician was?

  "That... Now a noble magician is standing in front of you, aren't you surprised at all?" Dororo himself was somewhat surprised, facing a magician standing in front of him with an unchanged expression, could this young man be a deeply hidden master?

  But looking at his appearance, his age, the tattered leather jacket he wore, and the hairstyle of several small braids, just like the local mountain people's customs, he looked honest, simple and unpretentious, and didn't look like some kind of superior being.

  "Because you don't look like a magician." Shayare said the truth, he seemed a bit embarrassed, and scratched his neck with some shyness: "I thought magicians should all be very handsome."

  Duoduo Luo: "……" (resentment continues to rise)

  "You think I'm some kind of person?!"

  "Scoundrel." Xiaya Lei replied bluntly, "My adoptive father once taught me that if someone on the road shows me inexplicable friendliness and smiles, my first reaction should be to clutch my purse tightly."

  Then, Xia Yareng smiled at Duoduo with a still calm and sincere expression, his tone was also very serious: "Respected Mr. Swindler, you see, I am a poor man, I don't even have a single copper coin on me now. So, I think it's better for you not to waste your time."

  After finishing speaking, Xia Yareng thought of going around Duoduo Luo's side.

  He saw a ghost, he came down from the mountain, walked for nearly thirty miles, and only found a spring on the way to fill his stomach with water. When he arrived at the town, he was already hungry enough to have a rumbling stomach, his belt tightened again and again. At this moment, he felt that he was so hungry that his eyes were green, and even if there was a piece of wood in front of him, he would gnaw it down.

  At this time, the most important thing for him was to find a way to get some food as soon as possible. He didn't bother wasting his time with a scammer - if it were any other day, he would have punched that scammer's bones into pieces long ago.

  Taro grabbed Shyare's arm as he was about to leave and said anxiously, "Hey! I'm really a magician! How can you believe that?"

  "Do you believe me?" Xia Yali blinked twice, hesitated for a moment, and still had that honest and simple look: "Unless... unless you show me some magic."

  "......Alright!" Dororo was almost furious enough to spit blood, but for that high-quality magic crystal, he still held back his anger and pulled Shyarei to the side of the road, using his back to block the direction of the pedestrians on the street, stretching out one finger: "Hey! Take a good look!"

  After finishing, he muttered a few incantations in his mouth, raised his hand, and a gray powder burst out of his palm, sprinkling onto Xia Yareng's body.

  This is a cloud of dust.

  "What kind of magic is this?" Xia Yali exclaimed, looking at her own robe that had been dirtied by the dust, and discontentedly patted it.

  "Dust Technique!" Dodoro proudly raised his chin, this was indeed one of his specialties and also one of the lowest-level earth-based magic spells. By using magic to raise a cloud of dust, it could be used to confuse the enemy's vision during battle - this principle was actually similar to throwing talcum powder when fighting.

  Xia Yali seemed somewhat disappointed and even more disdainful: "This can't prove that you're using magic."

  He looked at Doro with a skeptical gaze, shaking his head vigorously: "I saw a circus performance in the town a few days ago, which was much more interesting than your magic tricks. There was even someone who could pull out rabbits from hats!"

  Horse, circus?!!

  Pulling rabbits out of hats?!!

  Damn it, what does this bastard take me for?!

  Duoduo felt like he was going to vomit blood!

  "And... maybe this dust was hidden in your sleeve from the beginning." Xia Yareng gazed at Duoduo Luo's wide sleeves with ill intentions. Duoduo Luo wore a high-quality leather robe, which was made very large to match his identity as a magician, and the sleeves were rolled up several layers high.

  "Bastard! How could I possibly do something like that?" Doro felt insulted.

  "Unless... you let me check your clothes and see if there's anything hidden inside."

  Xia Yali's face was very honest.

  "......Alright!" Doro's face turned bright red, he felt extremely insulted! Even at this moment, he had forgotten the stone hanging from Xiaya's neck.

  What a joke! I'm a dignified magician, and yet this foolish kid thinks I'm just doing some sleight of hand?!

  And the identity of a magician is now the only wealth that makes Dororo proud!

  He indignantly took off his own leather cloak and threw it into Xiaya's hands: "Look! See if I have anything hidden inside! Hmph!!"

  Xia Yali took the robe and carefully turned it over. He examined it extremely meticulously, from inside to outside, from collar to cuff, even looking at the lining inside.

  After a glance, Xia Yaren seemed to ask casually, "Hmm, this robe of yours seems quite valuable."

  "Nonsense! This was bought in a tailor's shop in the capital, and it cost six silver coins! This is truly high-quality bear fur! Only clothes like this can match the dignity of a magician!" Doro's irritated response - actually, he lied, the bear fur was indeed bear fur, and it was indeed bought in a tailor's shop in the capital, but the price was not six silver coins, but three.

  Xia Yali's face remained expressionless, but a hint of unusual color flashed in her eyes.

  He lifted his head and gave Dororo a harmless expression: "I've finished reading. Hmm... I have to say, you're not a cunning swindler."

  "Of course!" Doro puffed out his chest.

  "But you are a foolish swindler."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yalai suddenly grabbed the high-quality fur coat that Duoduo was holding and turned around to run!!

  He ran very fast and in a flash of time, he darted into a small alley by the side of the road.

  Duoduo was stunned on the spot, as if he had become stupid, staring with wide eyes for a long time before suddenly roaring: "Someone stole my clothes!!"

  When he chased into the alley, where was Xia Yalai's shadow?

  Xia Yalai is after all a local, this Wildfire Town, he has been walking for over a decade, familiar with the terrain, where can this Muluo outsider compare to?

  He ran out of two streets in one breath, confirmed that no one was chasing behind him, Xia Yali stopped his footsteps and stood under a big tree on the side of Medical Road to catch his breath, and then touched the fabric of this robe again.

  "What good luck! I've just entered town and met a foolish swindler from out of town. Today's lunch is settled."

  Xia Yali's face lit up with a happy smile, and then she hugged her sheepskin coat and walked towards the nearest store by the road.

  In a short while, the clothes turned into several copper coins, and then in a small shop by the road, they turned into several pieces of meat pie, which also quickly entered Xia Yareng's belly.

  Patted his no longer rumbling stomach, Xiǎ Yà let out a relaxed sigh.

  Alas, what a pity. In a place like Ye Huo Town, it's hard to come across fools from outside who are as stupid as that guy just now.

  "Now that I've filled my belly, it's time to find a job." Xia Yareng strode towards the direction of the black market.

  This is the first meeting between Xia Yaren and Duoduo Luo.

  If we were to describe it in the ornate language of a wandering poet, it would go something like this:

  "One day in a certain month of a certain year, the future Continental King Xie Ya met his first loyal subordinate, Doudouluo. The great King Xie Ya emitted an unmatched aura of a king, causing Doudouluo's tiger-like body to tremble and submit to him. From then on, he vowed to follow King Xie Ya for life, until death did them part! The wheel of history continued to roll forward..."

  However, there is still a gap between historical facts and legends.

  At this moment, our Duduo's body did indeed tremble. However, it wasn't because of any submission or being moved, but rather...

  So angry!!

  "You little bastard, don't let me run into you again!!!"

  Duoduo's face turned green with rage, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva: "There are no good people in Wildfire Town!!"

  Because it's a new book, there are very few highlights this week. However, I carefully read every single review from everyone today - every single one! Over 1,000 of them, and it took me the whole afternoon.

  Finally, continue to be thick-skinned and ask for collection... want to smash votes...
