Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

"Let go of me! Otherwise, I will steal all your equipment next time I see you!"

The thief who was exposed by the players around him not only didn't look ashamed, but shouted viciously at Fang Yi.

"Huh? So arrogant?" Fang Yi glanced at the thief next to him in surprise, a little surprised by the arrogance of the other party, and then asked the warrior player who was watching the excitement, "My friend, this is the first time I come here, I don't know. What's so special about this Gelbo? If the NPC who stole the player is discovered, he should be expelled from the place, right?"

"Hey, who knows, this... Hey, the guards are here, you will know after this episode, if you are lucky, there will be benefits~" The soldier waved his hand at Fang Yi, then turned and left the scene.

Fang Yi turned his head to look, and sure enough, the guard standing aside had already seen the situation here, and quickly came to Fang Yi's side.

"It's you again, Gelbo! Hurry up and apologize to this adventurer," the hard-wearing human guard came over and slapped Gelbo directly on the back of the head, followed by Fang Fang who was standing aside. Yi smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, sir, this is our negligence in law and order, and we will double the compensation for your loss."

Under the stern gaze of the guards, Gelbo reluctantly took out a small purse from his arms and handed it to Fang Yi. The hateful eyes he looked at Fang Yi made Fang Yi feel as if he was a thief who stole money.

System prompt: You have obtained 23 gold coins.

Low oil?A lot of money~ Fang Yi remembers the money in his bag clearly, and this Gelbo touched it just now.Before he succeeded in stealing skills, he was discovered by himself, and there was indeed a lot of gold coins in his bag. [

Is this the benefit that warrior player mentioned just now?

"This gentleman, you see, Gelbo has already returned the money to you 'as much', so don't pursue it?"

what?

Fang Yi looked at the guard in front of him, making sure that he heard correctly.Strange, when did the guard intercede for the thief?But looking at the bag of gold coins in his hand, Fang Yi understood most of it. If he insisted on throwing this thief into prison, the twenty or so gold coins might not be his own~

"Hehe. Of course. Gelbo's attitude is still very sincere," Fang Yi grinned, and said to the guards, heaved a sigh of relief.continued. "I told you I had other things to do with this little brother. You don't mind if I chat with him?"

"Who has anything to do with you!" The little thief on the side tried several times, but he couldn't break away from Fang Yi's big hand tightly clutching his wrist. Seeing the other party, he wanted to find a reason to keep him.Immediately shouted loudly, "I don't know you!"

"This..." The guard looked at the thief jumping up and down in embarrassment, then at Fang Yi, and spread his hands in embarrassment.

Fang Yixin said that strange things happen every day, especially today. First, a thief used to hang out in the adventurer's hall, and then a guard came to intercede for the thief?I wouldn't believe it if there was no plot and no mission, but obviously no one has triggered this mission—Fang Yi immediately remembered the letter written by Ms. Shar in the backpack.

Now that there is a large crowd, Fang Yi originally planned to take Gelbo to a secret place to elaborate, but the guards in front of him seemed to support Gelbo to the end. Fang Yixin said that the opportunity is rare, so let's continue the task first.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi reached out his hand and took out the wax-sealed envelope from his backpack, and shook it at the thief, "I was entrusted by an old friend to come to Xingmu City to find Mr. Gelbo and Mr. Watts, but now I suspect Finding the wrong person."

Fang Yi's playful tone made the little thief's face flush, but when he saw the envelope in Fang Yi's hand, he was taken aback suddenly, and reached out to snatch it.The opponent's reaction was not as fast as Fang Yi's. With a shake of Fang Yi's hand, Gelbo missed it, but Fang Yi's eyes lit up—there was a joke!

"I remembered, I know this person," after seeing the envelope in Fang Yi's hand, Gelbo's attitude immediately changed 360 degrees, and he said to the guard, "He won't do anything to me ,It's fine."

The human guard's expression was also relaxed, and he bowed slightly to Fang Yi, "I'm really sorry, his uncle is an old acquaintance of mine, and I was entrusted to take care of him before. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you."

Fang Yi waved at the guard, smiled and watched the guard return to his post, then looked back at the thief.

"Let me see the envelope now! Hurry up!" Gelbo looked at the thin envelope in Fang Yi's hand with an anxious look on his face, and kept shouting. [

Fang Yi looked up and looked around, and some players had already noticed the abnormality here.A habitual thief who has existed in the Adventurer's Hall for such a long time, it is impossible for such an obvious quest clue to go unnoticed. It is only because of the lack of an opportunity to trigger the quest that this Gelbo has stayed until today.Now that I have been chatting with Gelbo for a long time here, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will see the clues.

"Let's change places."

***

The Mermaid Song Tavern is located on Voyager Street next to the Adventurer's Hall. As the hotel with the largest scale in Star Evening City and the best chef in the city, there will naturally be many customers here.

Fang Yi dragged Gelbo for two laps on the crowded street, and after shaking off the tail that followed from the Adventurer's Hall, the two entered the Mermaid Song Tavern.Finding a table in the corner, Fang Yi ordered two large glasses of malt wine, and then took out the envelope again.

Galbo impatiently took the envelope, held the stamp on the wax seal before his eyes, and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to see a flower inside.

Fang Yi has read this envelope several times. Apart from not knowing what is inside, Fang Yi can tell where there is a wrinkle on the surface of the envelope, where the glue is rough, and the stamp on the wax seal is Fang Yi's research. focus object.

The shape of the stamp is a simple ring without any patterns or decorations. It looks like an ordinary circle, but there is a small human face inside the ring.But the stamp is too small, and the wax is not very clear, only a little girl can be vaguely recognized.

Fang Yi often searched for information on the Internet, but this stamp belonged to any known gods and large organizations, and Fang Yi was helpless.

At this time, Gelbo had already looked away from the stamp, and cast his gaze on Fang Yi, who was drinking heavily, "Where did you get this?"

Fang Yi’s domineering tone made Fang Yi’s boss unhappy, but as for competing with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, “It was given to me by a friend named Shaer in Ximen City.”

"Sure enough!" Gelbo exclaimed excitedly when Fang Yi said Shar's name, and pulled Fang Yi up to run outside, "Then follow me to save my uncle!"

"Wait, wait!" Fang Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Gelbo back, "Save uncle, let's make things clear first."

Gelbo looked on fire, but with his own strength, it was impossible to beat Fang Yi, so he had to sit down honestly and told Fang Yi what happened.

It turns out that the little thief in front of Fang Yi is called Xia Ou, and the Gelbo and Watts that Shar mentioned to Fang Yi are the uncles of this little Xia Ou in front of him, and he is a real university student.However, Gelbo usually lives in his own house on the outskirts of Star Twilight City, and sometimes he sends Xiao Xiaou to run errands in the city, so not many people have heard of Gelbo's name.

A few days ago, Gelbo was suddenly taken away by a group of mysterious people, and he only had time to leave a message for Xiao Xia, asking him to seek help from a man named Shar in Ximen Port.

But getting from Xingmu City to Ximen Port is easier said than done. If you go by land, even many famous adventure teams have to think twice, and the sea route is blocked by both Ximen and Xingmu City, making it even more difficult to smuggle.

However, after repeated efforts, Xiao Xiaou finally contacted the owner of a smuggling boat through his friends, and he could take him to a port near the west gate. Of course, the price was not cheap - three hundred gold coins.

In order to board the smuggling boat, Xiao Xiaou borrowed usury loans from others, and then went to the casino to try his luck, but lost everything in the end.After being chased by debt collectors, he ran into the adventurer's hall.The guard that Fang Yi saw before had some friendship with Gelbo, that's why little Xia Ou escaped from Cole's group there.

After listening to the other party's memories, Fang Yi also noticed the dense scars on the little boy's arms and calves. He thought that he had suffered a lot during the days when he was wandering around in Xingmu City alone. Even a trace of displeasure disappeared.

It is rare enough for such a young child to persevere for so long for his uncle and not give up despite all the hardships in the market.

But Fang Yi looked at the envelope in his hand, and thought that when he met Shar in the library in the sewer, maybe the other party had just got the news that Gelbo was in trouble from some kind of channel, so he gave himself such a smooth boat. A task, but why not say it?

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yi turned his attention to the task before us. "Xia Ou, you just said you know who kidnapped your uncle?"

"I know! Uncle must have been taken away by Li Xu and the others!" Little Xia Ou mentioned his uncle's whereabouts, and immediately became grim, revealing the hostility that a child of this age shouldn't have.

"Don't worry, I will rescue your uncle." Fang Yi put away the envelope and glanced at the crowd around him, "Then tell me, who is this Li Xu?"

"He is the biggest profiteer in Xingmu City!" Fang Yi's promise seemed to be magical, and Xia Ou's flushed face returned to normal, but his hands were still tightly clenched into fists, "His fleet is The largest fleet of merchant ships in Star Twilight City, and recently Li Xu wants to buy the land in the slums and build some kind of warehouse. People say that he kept the price very low."

"Then how are you sure that this Li Xu has something to do with your uncle being taken away?" Fang Yi stared into Xia Ou's blue eyes, and asked the point directly.

"I'm sure it's him!" Xia Ou said decisively, "He came to my uncle before, it seemed that he asked my uncle to help repair a map, but he was scolded by my uncle. That was the only time in my memory that my uncle talked to someone else Angry." (To be continued...)
