Chapter 6 Thieves Gang
The caravan continued to march, and this time, Wu Zhi was no longer sitting on the bumpy cart, but was invited to the carriage.

This is Wu Zhi's first time riding in a carriage.Although he didn't know what the carriage looked like, he was still taken aback by the decoration inside the carriage.

Inner walls with delicate patterns, soft carpets, comfortable seats, and closets with various snacks and drinks.

The carriage seemed to have undergone some special treatment, and it didn't feel the slightest bump when sitting on it. Compared with that cart, it was a heaven and a hell.

Wu Zhi sat across from the business housekeeper, who asked Wu Zhi all kinds of things with a friendly smile.It's mostly about Wu Zhi's identity and the magic he just showed.

Regarding this, Wu Zhi already had a plan in mind.In a word, he was sure that he wanted to come out to see the world, but he didn't get lost in the end.The healing technique is a kind of magic handed down in the family.

As for Wu Zhi's rhetoric, Shang Guanjia seemed to believe six or seven percent.Not only did he return the bottle of life potion with both hands, but he also promised that there would be other rewards after arriving in Silvermoon City.

Wu Zhi solemnly accepted the life potion, and cheered in his heart. Hundreds of gold coins came back.At the same time, a belief was firmly established in my heart.

(It seems that magician is a very promising and lucrative profession. Before, the business butler accepted my life potion out of conscience, and even sent Gan Peng to monitor me. But now, he treats me respectfully Respect. It seems that the status of a magician is not so high!)
Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, resolutely determined to become a magician.

For the next few days, Wu Zhi and the business steward shared a carriage together. Fortunately, there was a lot of space in the carriage, so the two of them would not be too crowded.

Although Wu Zhi seems to have used magic only once, it is a recognized iron law that only magicians can use magic.Even if Wu Zhi can only use one kind of magic, it means that he has magical talent, at least he is an apprentice magician, and he will definitely become a real noble magician in the future!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with befriending a future magician.So under the half-witted acquaintance of Shang Guanjia along the way, Wu Zhi finally knew more information about this world.

After all, in a small town, the traffic can be said to be blocked.It is normal for people in the town not to communicate with the outside world for several years.Little is known about the intelligence of the outside world.

But business managers are different.He is the head of a caravan traveling around, so it goes without saying that he is seasoned.In a few words, Wu Zhi's many questions were clearly explained.

For example, in this world, among all combat professionals, the status of magicians is indeed the highest.Next came swordsmen and fighters, archers and the like who practiced fighting qi, and after that, gunmen.

Professionals are a group of people who can use and control magic elements.In the world, only a very small group of people can directly perceive magic elements.

If the magic element is a gift from God.Then this type of people is undoubtedly God's favorite!
And this kind of person is a magician!They can directly mobilize the magical elements between heaven and earth to form powerful magic to kill the enemy.There is no one magician in a million, and every magician is an extremely scarce talent.Therefore, the noble status of the magician is derived from it.

also.Some of the ancestors of mankind were unwilling to be ordinary people, so they studied the method of forcibly confining magic elements in the body, which is the so-called fighting spirit.In this way, as long as people who are not infirm and congenitally weak can practice, at best it is only about the speed of cultivation.

The emergence of grudge also gave birth to a large number of professionals such as fighters, swordsmen, boxers, and archers.After thousands of years of development, the number of people practicing fighting qi seems to be the largest among all professionals, and a rigorous and scientific system has gradually formed.

Then, there are some people who are not born with the ability to sense magic elements, and who have no talent for cultivating battle qi.

Originally, this type of people should be hopeless and absolutely impossible to become professionals.However, more than three hundred years ago, a certain magic master suddenly invented a new magic item, named magic gun.

This kind of magic gun, driven by magic, draws various magic circles, similar to a bow and crossbow, but it allows ordinary people to release the power of magic.Powerful.

Although magic guns are expensive.But for many disciples from wealthy families and aristocratic families who were unable to cultivate, they undoubtedly saw the dawn of life-saving.Under the vigorous promotion of this group of people, magic guns developed very rapidly.Thus was born the profession of "gunner".

Among the ten gunmen now, at least eight are from well-to-do families.Only such people can afford magic guns.As for the other two, they took a fancy to the power of magic guns and gave up using swords and crossbows to exclusively use magic guns.

However, magicians can still cast magic without using a wand.The swordsman loses his great sword and can still fight with both hands.But the gunner's dependence on magic firearms is far more than other professions.If a gunman loses the firearm in his hand, he may have less than [-]% of his remaining strength.Therefore, people also call gunmen "pseudo-professionals", and their status is at the bottom of all professionals.

This is the first time for Wu Zhi to hear a detailed explanation about professionals, and he is simply fascinated and unable to stop.He repeatedly asked the business housekeeper for advice, and the latter also made friends deliberately, and he would not refuse anyone who came.And from time to time, he said a few anecdotes about professionals, and bursts of laughter came from the carriage from time to time.

A pleasant journey is always short.When the city wall of Silver Moon City appeared in front of his eyes, Wu Zhi knew that the destination had arrived!
The architectural style of the Magic Continent is somewhat similar to Western countries on Earth.But not all.For thousands of years in the Magic Continent, different geographical locations have created different customs and habits.The so-called similarity is probably just that Wu Zhi fell in love with the scene.

Arriving at Silver Moon City, the business steward obviously felt much more relaxed, and even got off the carriage, chatting and laughing with the guards.And Wu Zhi also got out of the carriage, looked around at the scene, and waited to line up to enter the city gate.

Suddenly, Wu Zhi saw many notice-like things pasted on the wall next to the city gate.There is a strange brilliance flowing on it, somewhat similar to the LEDs on the earth, and the words are constantly changing.

"Brother Gan Peng, what is that?"

Wu Zhi was curious, so he asked Gan Peng beside him.

That day Gan Peng was originally injured by the bandit's back arrow, and then he was kicked hard in the chest and abdomen, which was seriously injured if not.But under Wu Zhi's miraculous "magic", not only did he make a miraculous comeback, but also healed most of his injuries in an instant!Therefore, Wu Zhi could be said to have saved his life, and his attitude towards Wu Zhi became more cordial.

"Oh, that. That is a magic light curtain made by magicians. On it are some commandments and reward orders for leaving the city, wanted orders and so on."

Wu Zhi nodded, and suddenly found a serious question.

Then he is illiterate!

Although after he came to this world, he miraculously discovered that he could understand the language of this world and speak it freely.But no one taught him to read and write.

Therefore, Wu Zhi couldn't help feeling dizzy when he saw pieces of distorted characters circulating on the light curtain.

(I heard that magicians are all knowledgeable and talented. And there are magic spells and so on. If you want to become a magician, don’t you have to learn to read?)
With a deep sigh in his heart, Wu Zhi was embarrassed to say that he could not read, so he said to Gan Peng, "Brother Gan Peng, my eyesight is bad, please help me see what was said on the light curtain."

In fact, Wu Zhi wanted to take a sneak peek at the fonts in this world, and see if it was difficult to learn.

Gan Peng didn't think much about it. Anyway, the waiting line was still long and he had nothing else to do. He nodded and began to read: "Rules of Silvermoon City: Article [-], you need to pay entry fee and exit fee to enter and exit the city gate."

"Rule [-]: After [-]:[-] a.m. and [-]:[-] p.m., the gates of the city are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city without permission."

"Article [-]: Fighting and brawling are not allowed in the city. Fighting with weapons is strictly prohibited. If there is any violation, the punishment will be considered light and lenient."

Gan Peng read one by one, and Wu Zhi secretly matched Gan Peng's pronunciation to the fonts on the light curtain in his heart, and found that the characters in the magic continent were not so difficult to learn.The characters here are also pictographic characters like Chinese, and for Wu Zhi, it is fairly easy to learn.

But at this time, the text on the light curtain changed and switched to the next scene.Gan Peng paused, and then continued to read: "Notice: All travelers and merchants, please pay attention. It has been verified that a series of tragedies have occurred in Yeling District in the northeast of the empire recently. A group of powerful thieves gangs are running around to commit crimes. Cooperate with local bandits and horse bandits, massacre residents of nearby villages and towns, and attack and kill passing caravan passengers. Thirteen villages and towns have been confirmed, and 34 merchants are referring to the murderer. Please pay more attention to others."

At first, Gan Peng just recited casually for Wu Zhi's sake, but as he recited, his tone became serious.Even the business butler came over and squinted at the words on the light screen.

"I just said why the bandits were so aggressive that day. They wanted to kill us all? But why did they do this? What good would it do them to kill the caravan?"

The business manager was a little puzzled.But Wu Zhi had already clenched his fists fiercely beside him.

(It turned out that the residents of the small town were massacred. It was not the occasional bandits who made trouble. It was instigated by someone? What is the origin of the so-called gang of thieves? Why did they attack innocent residents?)
Wu Zhi memorized every word on the light curtain in his heart, and vowed to investigate all this clearly.Make that gang of thieves pay for their despicable actions!
