feed on dragons

The two spent about half an hour feeding themselves in the mirage.Julian was quite satisfied with the meal, and felt that although the food was not as detailed as in the banquet, the advantage of seafood is that it only needs to be fresh. Even if the cooking method is not so particular, it can still taste a rough and good taste.

After they were full, they walked around a bit, watching the fishing boat auction, and strolling around the stalls selling some natural pearls or polished small shell craft ornaments, enjoying themselves.It wasn't until the small booth selling accessories started to be cleaned up that Dai Ning took out his pocket watch to check, only to realize that it was beyond the time he expected to go back.

"Oops, I've been shopping so much that I forgot... Hurry up and go back, or I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Julian nodded in agreement.The two found the slope when they came, and walked back towards the magician's tower above.The noise and human voices gradually moved away with the footsteps of the two of them. The farther they were from the lively sea market, the more they could feel that the night was really deep.The slope where some pedestrians could still be seen is now empty, and the road is deserted.All the houses on both sides had their lights turned off, but fortunately, the moonlight in the sky was quite bright, illuminating the road quite clearly.

It was silent all the way.There was no sound other than their footsteps.Occasionally there are some noises, that is, mice digging through the garbage or stray cats scurrying up to the roof.The sea breeze was blowing from behind, and it was a bit cool. Julian pulled his coat, and when he passed the dark and narrow passage between buildings, he always leaned in the direction of his friend unconsciously.

"... Hurry up, it's really too late." Dai Ning was also a little uneasy, and couldn't help speeding up his pace, and Julian immediately adjusted his pace to keep up.I am unfamiliar with the place, and it is late at night, and every dark path looks like something is hidden.Although most of them were scaring themselves, it was enough to make the two teenagers feel chills down their backs.

And just as the two of them were on their way nervously, someone seemed to be speaking vaguely in front of them.When they heard this voice, the two teenagers froze for a moment, and stopped at the same time.

Julian tilted his head and listened carefully.Although they couldn't hear clearly, the tone seemed to be arguing or threatening someone.He exchanged glances with his friend and pointed to the front; the latter nodded, indicating that he had heard it too.

"It's not so unlucky..."

Dai Ning frowned and murmured, then walked lightly to the wall of the building, leaned against the wall, and walked cautiously towards the source of the sound.Julian also followed. Under the shadow of the eaves, he could only vaguely see the back of his friend. The little magic apprentice clenched his fist nervously, and subconsciously began to rub the inside of the ring on his middle finger.

"Oh, I said it's useless for you to find me, I don't have any money with me."

A voice said helplessly.It sounded like a young man.

"Shut up, do you really want us to use a knife?"

"No money, other things are fine. Do you have a ring on your hand? Come, hand it over."

"And your bag, pulled so tightly that there is no money in it?"

The tone of the other three people sounded very unfriendly.

Under the shadow of the eaves, Dai Ning frowned.

Once the dialogue can be heard, the situation is clear.Robbery in the dark, although it is not very unusual, but it is very unlucky to run into it.The teenagers were so close that they could be seen. Three street thugs surrounded a young man carrying a big bag. One of the thugs seemed to have a white thing in his hand. He couldn’t see clearly in the dark, but he could reflect it. In the case of Moonlight, it is probably either a dagger or a dagger.

Dai Ning only glanced at it and immediately retreated into the shadows, thinking about countermeasures solemnly.Julian also saw the situation over there. He lowered his voice and asked Dai Ning: "What should I do? Should I scare them and save that person?"

The boy gestured while talking.It was a gesture of some aggressive fire magic.

"No, using magic makes too much noise. If you attract patrolling guards, let alone those three little bastards, if we are caught, it will be terrible." Dai Ning looked distressed. "And they have knives in their hands, so it's a bit dangerous..."

You can't use magic to make too much noise, and you can drive people away...

Julian rolled his eyes, and a somewhat risky idea popped up in his mind.

"Please, the ring is a street commodity, it's not worth a lot of money."

Even though the current situation is obviously at a disadvantage, and the opponent still has a weapon in his hand, the young man doesn't seem to be afraid or nervous, but maintains a helpless expression, as if they are not robbing with a knife, but to He asked for directions.

"I just said that I don't have anything on me, if you don't believe me, take a look..."

As he spoke, he was about to put his hand in his pocket, but the little bastard holding the knife immediately shouted, "Take your hand out! What are you doing!"

"...I just want to untie my coat and let you see that I am empty." Seeing the other party waving the knife, the young man stopped immediately and raised his hand to express surrender, "You still want my wallet? You just now Should I pick it up or not?"

This overly idle attitude seemed to anger the three of them. The person standing on the far right kicked his knee hard, and the young man fell to his knees with a groan.He hugged his knees and rolled twice, raised his head and complained, "How dare you hit someone!"

"Come on! Say one more word, believe it or not, we can beat you until your mother can't recognize you!" The man kicked him on the shoulder angrily, "Money! Hurry up!"

"I'm really motherless." The young man muttered.

"Did I tell you to beat him up! It's so loud, wait until the guards come!"

The man in the middle glared at the person who made the move, and then said, "Stop talking nonsense with him, whether he has money or not, grab it first and then talk."

"makes sense."

The man with the knife nodded, and stretched out his hand to grab the strap of the bag on the young man's shoulder: "Give this to me!"

"Hey, wait, wait a minute, this can't work, this is the guy I eat..."

Seeing that the other party was going to grab his bag, the young man was not happy, and regardless of the weapon in his hand, he desperately wanted to grab the bag back. "You took me away, how will I start a business tomorrow..."

"Fuck me! If you don't let me go, I'll stab you!"

The little gangster with the knife growled viciously.He raised the dagger and shook it threateningly twice, the sharp blade reflected the moonlight and gave off a cold light.

At this moment, the warm yellow light of oil lamps suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley where there was only cold moonlight.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of leather boots stepping on the ground, as well as whispers.The punks were startled, and hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the alley, only to see two black shadows reflected on the wall, walking towards this location.

"Patrol guards!" One of them said in a panic, "Look at the shadows, they're carrying batons! It's the guards!"

"Isn't it?" The person standing on the far side was a little suspicious: "I have counted the route of the guards, they shouldn't..."

"Damn you! Hurry up and leave!"

Although one of them thought it was a bit strange, the other two didn't want to take any chances.The shadow was getting closer and closer, the three of them finally gritted their teeth, gave up the prey they were about to get, and ran to the other side of the alley in a hurry, and disappeared in two or three strokes.

The young man who was left in place, still clutching his bag, stared blankly at the flame and the figure.After a long while, the shadow suddenly became smaller, and at the same time, a red-haired boy poked his head out from the corner of the building, followed by a blond one.The blond one was holding a cluster of small flames that were constantly beating.

"The basic level of flame summoning and a little illusion, it really succeeded in bluffing..." Dai Ning breathed a sigh of relief.Two teenagers walked into the alley, Julian extinguished the flames, Dai Ning stretched out his hand to the young man sitting on the ground, and said, "Are you okay? Listening to the sound, you seem to have been beaten twice..."

"It's okay! Don't worry! I'm strong... ouch."

That's what he said, but when the boy pulled him up, the young man couldn't help rubbing his knees. "It's really okay, it's probably just a bruise!" He emphasized.

"...If you say it's fine, then it's fine..." Dai Ning coughed twice to hide his smile, but his trembling shoulders had already betrayed him.

"It's good that you're fine." Julian nodded, "Hurry up and go home, we're going back too."

"Yeah." Dai Ning nodded, and said to the young man, "Okay, take care, brother, we're leaving first. You go home quickly, if you encounter robbers again, it will be bad. Good night, Luo."

After speaking, he turned around and followed Julian to walk out of the alley.

"Hey, don't rush away, wait, wait a minute."

Seeing that they were about to leave, the man hurriedly chased after them, "It's rare that you two saved me, it's not justified not to give you something in return..."

"That's really unnecessary." Julian shook his head quickly when he heard the words, "If we don't drive them away, it will be troublesome when we pass by. This is also for our own sake, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes, and you don't have anything on you?" Dai Ning also waved his hand, "Let's go, it's very, late." He emphasized the last three words, hoping that the young people could understand.

"Don't do this, listen to me. Just 10 minutes!"

However, I don't know whether they really didn't understand or ignored it on purpose. The young man didn't intend to let them go.He reached into the bag that he was desperately protecting, and took out a round ball.Under the moonlight, the two could clearly see - it was a crystal ball.

"Meeting is fate. Although I don't have any valuables on me, I can still use my housekeeping skills to present treasures."

The young man was giggling, his brows and eyes curved.Julian suddenly felt that this person... seemed to have seen him somewhere.

"My name is Dylan, and I'm a fortune-teller. Let me tell your fortunes for the two of you?"
