The Soul Chasing Gang, an underground organization that relies on the dark side of Black Rock City, can only be considered a medium-sized gang among the many gangs in Black Rock City, and its territory accounts for one-sixth of the northern area of ​​Black Rock City. The leader of the gang is a level 3 thief named "Broken Legs" Toby.

The reason for such a nickname is that one of his legs was injured when he was taking part in adventures before, so he walked a little lame, but this does not mean that he was weak in combat. In fact, he relied on his agile skills to kill the previous gang leader before he seized the current position.

Because his lame legs are often ridiculed, he likes to smash the legs of those who have ridiculed or offended him. In fact, no one dares to mention the nickname of "smashed legs" in front of him now. The people who have said before him, except for some big names who are really unable to move, have become cripples who are worse than him.

Toby did not kill those people, but just asked those people to beg on the streets of Black Rock City with their broken legs. They were not allowed to leave Black Rock City. If these people beg a little more and could have a full meal, he would send someone to take away the excess, leaving only the weight of making the other party unable to starve to death.

Of course, the Soul Chasing Gang is just a medium-sized gang and does not have a strong backstage in the city. Unlike the large gangs, there are shadows of high-level urban leaders behind them. They can only rely on regular bribes every month to win over the upper levels of some departments as a support. Therefore, the people who Toby dares to deal with are small people with no background. For those powerful and powerful figures, even if they are afraid of scolding him for being a cripple in front of him, he will not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Because of his cruel style, the merchants and civilians in the territory of the Soul Chasing Gang were all retreating from this cruel gang. Even if they encountered blackmail or something, they would only take the method of losing money and avoiding disasters. Of course, Toby is not a fool. The number of times and amounts of blackmailed people in the Soul Chasing Gang were generally not too much. Otherwise, if the people in his territory were in poverty, the backers he found would not let him go.

But two months ago, someone openly challenged his prestige on the territory of the Soul Chasing Gang. The green-skinned goblin not only did not give the Soul Chasing Gang a "safety fee" according to the "regulation", but also beat the people, including the Soul Chasing Gang leader, Court, to death. Toby felt that this was challenging his bottom line.

However, after learning that the mercenary group that guarded the other party had dealt with his subordinates in just over ten seconds, and the profession level of the mercenary group was as high as level 4 or above, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking revenge in person.

This does not mean that they can't do anything to the other party. Although the Soul Chasing Society is just a medium-sized gang force, it has to provide a batch of gold coins to the security officers of Black Rock City every month. Only in this way can they exist safely in Black Rock City without worrying about official cleaning.

Of course, when he meets some people who are difficult for him to deal with, he will also give the security chief a generous gift, and then the security team in Black Rock City will find the other party in the name of the official. In this case, as long as the other party is not a person with background, he will most likely be arrested. As for the other party's fate, it can only depend on the extent to which he offends him.

But this time when he took the gold coins to find the fat security officer, the other party not only did not accept his gold coins, but instead warned him very harshly not to provoke him again.

At the beginning, Toby thought he had offended some big shots, so he was so scared that he gave the assistant of the Chief Security Officer a lot of gold coins and said a lot of good things, but the other party finally revealed a piece of news.

It turned out that the goblin had sent someone to give the security officer a large sum of money before he came, which was more than the gold coins offered by the Soul Chasing Gang every year. It was no wonder that the fat guy told him that way.

After learning about the actual situation, Toby breathed a sigh of relief while being extremely unwilling to give in. If the other party was just a little person with some money, there was no background worth fearing. Being ridden by such a guy made him feel angry. However, the other party was stronger than himself in terms of team strength and official power. He could not do anything to many parties whether he was soft or hard.

If he had endured such a thing in the past, it would have been fine if he had to endure it. After all, there was no one who had stronger than him who had ridiculed him.

But this time he didn't plan to give up, not only because he couldn't swallow this breath, but also because he became greedy for the wealth of the goblin. The other party just threw out a lot of money than the Soul Chasing Gang provided for a year. Moreover, he inquired that the other party's guards were actually purchased professional slaves, and the money he had to spend was shocking.

During this period, he has been secretly sending people to monitor the goblin's movements. As long as the other party leaves the city, he has a way to prevent the other party from coming back and seize the other party's wealth. Such confidence comes entirely from one of his secrets, which will bring him great benefits in the future.

"Did you see clearly? That goblin did take people out of the city?" Toby sat behind a table and looked at his subordinates who were reporting to him with a cold look.

"Chief! I see clearly! The goblin has definitely gone out of the city gate. I have asked the people in the gang to stare at them as you told me. Moreover, before leaving, the goblin left, there were about a hundred people coming out of their base one after another, and these people were all scattered out of the city." This subordinate was the 'mouse' staring at Aivo's base.

At this time, he was trembling in front of his leader, fearing that he would be punished by the leader's cruel means when answering a question wrong. After seeing the leader wave his hand and let him go down, he ran out quickly as if he was amnesty.

"Court! How are you in contact with the trolls outside the city?" Toby said to someone next to him.

This man ran to blackmail Aiwo two months ago, but Aiwo made the mercenary group beat him up with a bald one-eyed man, Cote.

At this moment, there was a blazing anger in his only remaining eyes, but after hearing Toby's voice, he replied carefully: "Chief. The other party has already answered us. As long as we can open the city gate when they siege the city, we will allow us to manage all humans after they occupy the city. At that time, we will be the number one gang in Black Rock City."

"Idiot! We take such a big risk to seek refuge with each other, and we don't want a fool-like gang of Black Rock City. These trolls have a big appetite. I guess they want to occupy several other nearby cities after conquering Black Rock City. We can surrender to them as early as possible. When they manage the captured humans, they will likely let us be managers. In that case, our status will at least be equivalent to a city lord!" Toby said in a cold voice.

"Yes! Or leader, you think far." Court hurriedly echoed.

Toby leaned against the chair behind him with his eyes closed and said, "Tell me and say a team of mercenaries ran out. If you want to find out about them, please be sure to eliminate this group of mercenaries!"

Court said hesitantly: "If you say this, those trolls will probably guess that we are using their hands to get rid of each other. Although those trolls look like barbarians, they are very cunning!"

Toby said with a smile on his lips, "So what if you see it? They need to use us now, and even if they see it, they will not be stingy about this little thing."

"You can see clearly by the leader, so I'll do it now. But the time agreed with the other party is tonight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back then!" Court said carefully.

"You don't have to participate in this operation. Just do the goblin's affairs well. Remember if you kill the goblin and bring all the things on him back, that goblin should have a lot of wealth." Toby said to Court with a stern look.

"Yes! Leader, I will bring back all the things on the other party for you to see!" said Caut with a sweating profusely.

After seeing Toby close his eyes and stop talking, he knew that he should leave. So he quickly turned around and walked out.

Xu Yue was not clear about the upcoming crisis at this time. He was teaching Ellie how to train and control his mental power.

The little girl's efforts to make unexpected efforts in the past two months. She can play the game of catching light spots during meditation for a whole day, and she will sleep after spending too much mental power. Under such high-intensity "playing", her mental power growth is much faster than when Xu Yue first started meditation.

After Xu Yue's inspection, he found that the little girl's mental power had reached the brink of an advanced intermediate magic apprentice. I'm afraid that after one or two meditations, Ellie can become an intermediate magic apprentice in mental power.

This is exactly what Xu Yue is worried about. Generally speaking, children on Tarenmiya continent only start to learn magic at the age of ten. This is to prevent children from hurting their brains when operating their mental power because they are too young.

But Ellie's talent is indeed very good. After reaching the intermediate magic apprenticeship, if you only conduct primary meditation, the effect will become very weak.

At this time, you either change to a set of meditation methods for intermediate magic apprentices, and increase your mental power while using controllable elements to nourish them with mental power. Or you can directly take the "Bols Potion" like Xu Yue, and then condense the magic source and choose the meditation technique of the official magician.

The second way is not to think about it. Even if the money is enough, Xu Yue does not have the authority to buy the "Bols Potion" again. But if he chooses the first way, he really can't get the right way with the little girl's intelligence and control.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Yue decided to test the little girl's mind and her control over her mind first. In terms of mind, he went back to the earth and downloaded and printed a set of related problems from the Internet, while mental control was simpler. After giving Ellie a simple magic control, he decided to see the result of Ellie using mental power to control magic.

The test results were somewhat unexpected. Perhaps Ellie's experience with the troll made her a little precocious. The little girl is no less mentally than a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. And when she puts her mental control, she has reached the average control level of the junior magic apprentice.

Finally, Xu Yue decided to start teaching Ellie's magic. Of course, it was just the simplest part of level zero magic. Even a slightly dangerous magic like quick reading would have to be learned for a while before the little girl could start learning it.

Seeing the little girl playing alone while controlling the flames in her hand, Xu Yue smiled and took out a blank magic note to record her learning experience today. The light emitted by the magic lamp on the table was much brighter than the oil lamp before, and a small flame elf on the wick was dancing happily on it.

This is a commonly used lighting tool for magicians unique to Tarenmiya's world. Its light is not based on flames, but on elemental crystals that add fire attributes to the magic circle to summon flame elves for lighting. These elves are elemental elves of the flame plane. As long as you pay them the flame crystals, they will be summoned accordingly as your lighting tool.

Because these elemental elves themselves are just a collection of fire elements with simple wisdom, not only do not have the value of use and research, but also cannot make basic materials. Therefore, no magician will capture or harm them, which is also one of the reasons why magic lamps can be popular among magicians.

After adding a small piece of fire element crystal to the elemental furnace under the magic lamp, the flame elf danced even more happily, and the light on his body became much brighter. This proved that the other party had a subtle growth after absorbing a large amount of flame elements.

Xu Yue smiled at the cheerful dancing flame elf and reached out to tease it for a while. The flame elf's body itself is composed of fire elements and the temperature is very high. But as long as they do not attack actively, it will feel like warm water when they touch it.

The flame elves are very active in nature. Even when there is no one, they will dance constantly there. When they see someone playing with them, they immediately dance happily on the flames of the magic lamp, drawing halos in the air.

Just when Xu Yue was about to stop and end his studies today, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, followed by a slight shaking. The flame elf retreated back to the flames as if frightened. Xu Yue's face darkened and he quickly walked to the window to open the window.

There were sensational shouts coming from the street, and lights kept illuminating in the direction of the city wall. Xu Yue could see that it was the magic light.

Suddenly, the inheritance mark on the back of Xu Yue's right hand flashed and lit up. He knew what this meant. The Magic Guild issued a summoning order based on the registered magic mark fluctuations, and this summoning order generally had only one meaning - war.
