Chapter 10 The Bronze Hand
For the gray organization, Xia Lin is neither disgusted nor fond of it.

On the one hand, it was these gray organizations, large and small, that formed the United Dock Workers Guild, which gave the anti-contractors at the docks the power to negotiate wages with those mean and stingy businessmen.

At the same time, they also maintained the basic law and order in the slums and provided many job opportunities, which is equivalent to filling a part of the gap in the grassroots rule of this feudal monarchy society.

On the other hand, they are also like blood-sucking plants, rooted in the bottom of the slums.

Stealing, robbing, kidnapping, lending usury, and forcing women into so-called "big houses" to make money for them, these organizations use all means to make money.

In addition to these incomes close to the black zone, they will also rely on a cut of the hard-earned money earned by their laborers to obtain a stable income, so as to maintain the relatively good life of their members.

For example, the 25 copper pess earned by Xia Lin’s father at the pier every day must be handed over to three of them every day, and the five copper peses earned by his mother for every pound of spun yarn must also be handed over to them. A copper bis.

It's just that Xia Lin hasn't had much contact with these organizations in the past three years, so I don't know why they sent these three boys to find him.

"Long time no see, Xia Lin! You should still remember us?"

The man in the lead looked at Xia Lin and looked back at them, and greeted them proactively.

"Of course, Roy, Adams, Fink, I still remember that when we fought with those bastards in the south, Oliver was beaten to the ground by you. I didn't expect you to join the Bronze Hand now."

But in three years, Xia Lin will naturally not forget this group of hair boys, he said with a slight nostalgic look on his face.

"Haha, that's all in the past, now we're just trying to survive!"

Roy laughed heartily. It seemed that his life in the gray organization did not affect him at all. He seemed to be the big brother who led Xia Lin to fight everywhere.

"Join the Bronze Hand for survival?"

Xia Lin sighed, remembering that when Roy was young, he seemed to have told himself that he was going to be a dragon-slaying adventurer. Now it seems that the dreams of ordinary people will always be shattered in the face of cruel reality.

"Xia Lin, we don't have the luck to become a distinguished master mage like you! Your eldest brother was also taken in as an apprentice by Buck Blacksmith at the dock, and now everyone calls you the 'Lucky Karl Family'!"

Hearing Xia Lin's words, Fink, the short man behind Roy, said jealously.

"Yeah, we're different now."

Xia Lin looked at Fink and sighed pointedly.

"Obviously you became a master mage, but you don't care about the affairs of our friends at all. A person like you who is ungrateful and ungrateful is really blind to the kindness of Roy and Adams to you at the beginning!"

Fink didn't seem to understand the reminder in Xia Lin's words. He continued to angrily express his dissatisfaction with his companion from several years ago, but he didn't notice that there was a strange smile on Xia Lin's face He closed his eyes, and Roy's face gradually became ugly.

"Fink! Shut up!"

Seeing that Xia Lin was smiling and didn't seem to mind Fink's words at all, Roy's heart shivered, and he turned around and interrupted Fink's words with a slap.

"Brother Roy! You!...I'm not worth it for you!"

Suddenly slapped, Fink covered his cheek in disbelief, looked at his boss angrily and shouted.

"Fink, stop talking, Roy and I don't need you to fight the injustice."

However, Adams, who was silent on the side, also spoke in a deep voice.

"You guys! Well, I think Fink is blind! You have been protecting that brat Xia Lin before, and you are still like this now!"

Fink was trembling with anger. He said harsh words, looked between his two burly companions, then clenched his fists and looked at Xia Lin who was still smiling.

It seemed that he was going to pounce viciously and fight Xia Lin in the next moment.

"Sure enough, Fink, you are still the same."

Seeing Fink's expression of wanting to choose himself, Xia Lin shook his head helplessly.

Since he was a child, he didn't get along well with this Fink, and there were a lot of fights between the two. If Roy and Adams hadn't been in the middle to mediate, the two would have parted ways long ago.

From now on, it seems that this young man's impression of him is still three years ago, which is not good for him or himself.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin raised his right hand and recited four syllables silently, only to see a scorching arrow made of flames appearing in front of his right hand quickly, and the people around suddenly made exclamation and panic, and all backed away.

Roy and Fink also took a step back in fright, and Adams showed a slight nervousness on his paralyzed face.

It wasn't until this moment that they truly realized that standing in front of them was not the slug Xia Lin who played behind them a few years ago, but a mage Xia Lin who had mastered terrifying magic power.

Roy stared nervously at the flaming arrow with a pale face, and said quickly:

"No, Xia Lin, please stop! It was Fink who said the wrong thing just now, we didn't mean to offend you, the three of us were sent by the Copper Hand just to gain the friendship of a mage.

The Bronze Hand has taken care of you and my family a lot in the past three years, otherwise, do you think those guys from other places will not bother your family? "

"..."

"Is that so? It sounds like it is."

"Well, I have received your sincerity, and the bronze hand has obtained my friendship.

If you have any requests that are not embarrassing, Roy, you and Adams can come to the North District to find me. As for Fink, who doesn't know the situation well, forget it. I believe you will find out my address soon. "

Hearing Roy's words, Xia Lin thought for a while, and realized that her family had not been disturbed by anyone over the years. This was a very abnormal thing, and it seemed that the copper hand had contributed a lot.

In this case, Xia Lin will naturally accept Tongshou's favor, and by the way, also support her two children.

Moreover, it is sometimes useful to maintain a certain relationship with such a gray organization, Xia Lin said to Roy in a moderate tone, and he completely ignored Fink, who was sweating profusely and trembling.

Originally, I just wanted to deter a brainless idiot like Fink. Since Roy passed the steps in time, Xia Lin naturally wouldn't make it too difficult for them. After all, they still have a childhood Friendship is here.

He used his mental power to guide the flaming arrows to launch into the sky, and finally the flaming arrows that exceeded the coverage of the mental power turned into an irregular flame in the sky and dissipated like fireworks.

"Your Excellency Xia Lin, we come to you now because we have one thing to ask you!"

Roy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the flaming arrow emitting terrifying heat dissipate in the sky, and hurriedly continued.He also stopped making friends, and changed to an unfamiliar but formal and respectful address.

He looked around at the people who were hiding to watch the excitement, stepped forward bravely, and said in a volume that Xia Lin could just hear:

"Our Bronze Hand needs a batch of spell scrolls recently, about [-] of that kind of armor and [-] of them can attack the enemy like the spell that His Excellency Xia Lin just did.

Of course, we will definitely not let you suffer. The Bronze Hand bids five silver Marr for each spell scroll. We hope that Xia Lin can contact your classmates to complete these spell scrolls during this time!The time limit is ten days. "

"Five silver mal?"

Xia Lin's thoughts moved slightly. There were a total of forty spell scrolls, each of which cost five silver Maar. This was not a small amount of money. Is there any place for a gray organization like the Copper Hand to use these spell scrolls?
It's impossible for them to attack the city guards. If it's a battle for territory, using spell scrolls is obviously not as good as going to the slums to recruit a few half-grown teenagers like Roy and the others who dare to fight and fight hard as cannon fodder.

After thinking for a while without coming to any conclusion, Xia Lin finally nodded and agreed.

This money is not earned for nothing. Although my social circle is too narrow to attract a few mage classmates to make spell scrolls, the social flower that Harper knows, Drama, should be able to find enough people.

Give them four silver coins for a scroll, and they can earn forty silver maars more, and Xia Lin can also earn forty silver maars for free, and can maintain the relationship with the bronze hand, which is a win-win situation.

Seeing that Xia Lin agreed to this matter, Roy was obviously relieved, and did not continue to talk to Xia Lin about the old days. After agreeing to let Adams come to pick up the goods at that time, he immediately left here with Adams and the frightened Fink. .

I believe that after this time, this Fink should understand one thing, that is, at any time, don't provoke people you can't afford.

This was also a small gift from Xia Lin to this childhood playmate, otherwise he felt that the body of this guy who couldn't recognize the situation would appear in the septic tank of the slum one day.
