Undead Mentor Aspects

The host and guest had a good time, Xiao Tianming kept going around in circles, never daring to mention Wa Lan's whereabouts.After all, since he can come back from the front line, Walan will not abandon his wife and son.Xiao Tianming, who didn't want to deceive, simply didn't mention it.

The strange thing is that Sophia is also very cooperative with Xiao Tianming. Knowing that he is a native of Huanglong and has lived in other places (Island of the Dead) all year round, she is very enthusiastic to introduce to him the historical changes and major events of Huanglong Kingdom since modern times.

Even though Xiao Tianming had already made up his knowledge of modern history, from another perspective, it has a different flavor.While drinking his homemade honey tea, Xiao Tianming listened with great interest to Sophia's talk about the achievements and demerits of Huanglong No. 17 emperor.

This is a very cultivated woman!Xiao Tianming evaluated it in his heart.The more intellectual a woman is, the less Xiao Tianming dares to tell the truth.If she is an emotional person, she will cry for a while, try to persuade her, at most knock her out, even if it is for the newborn child, she will not commit suicide.

If she was a well-cultivated and wise woman, she would not have an attack at that time. If one day she had no worries and the child had a good place to go, she would definitely end herself and go to accompany Walan.From just a few words, Xiao Tianming can know that Walan's love for Sophia is as deep as Sophia's love for him.Therefore, once she heard the news of Walan's death, Sophia would definitely not be able to live on.

According to legend, there is a winged bird between heaven and earth. This bird has only one eye and one wing, and the male and female must fly together.If one dies, the other must never live alone.Often used as a metaphor for the love between husband and wife, Xiao Tianming is facing a lovebird who has lost his partner at this time, it is really tricky!

Think about the life of their mother and daughter in the future, orphans and widows, no source of income, on the mainland, men are preferred to women, martial arts are valued over literature, and they have no influence.In the end of being in a slum, with the hot crystal ball in his arms, Xiao Tianming's mind gradually became firm: You must tell the truth, otherwise you will be sorry for Walan's trust.

"Actually, during this visit, I have something to tell you!" Xiao Tianming finally mustered up his courage.

"Oh? What can Mage Xiao do to help you?" Sophia maintained her usual kind and gentle smile, and the inexplicable flash in her eyes made Xiao Tianming unable to look at each other.It seemed, it seemed, that a wise woman already knew everything.

"Well, ah, it's like this..." Xiao Tianming's words were vague, "Walan he..."

"Come on! Crush! Crush! Come on, come and open the door!" Just when Xiao Tianming risked everything and wanted to confess everything, there was a commotion outside the door, accompanied by a violent knock on the door.

What is this?Xiao Tianming was stunned for a while, even in a slum area, there shouldn't be such bad neighbors visiting.This is so disrespectful to the owner!

Looking back, Sophia picked up her sleeping daughter, even if it woke her up, she didn't care.The footsteps were flustered, pacing up and down, with an uneasy expression, as if a great disaster was about to come.

"Who are they?"

"It's the creditor who came to collect the debt! The child was sick a few days ago, and this year's tax has to be paid... So, so... I took out a loan shark!"

Xiao Tianming suddenly realized, the woman's panic expression showed everything.The creditor presses the debt, but he has no money to pay the debt, and no one will be calm in exchange.She is just an ordinary housewife, so naturally she has nothing to do with semi-dark debt collection groups.Orphaned and widowed, Walan was serving as a soldier in other places, and the most elite scout had very little time to go home.Life is indeed tight and miserable.

"How much do you owe them?" Xiao Tianming asked.

"Twenty, twenty silver coins." Sophia muttered a little.

"Not much, I'll pay it back for you! I'm a magician." On the road, a magician is synonymous with a rich man. After all, whether it's enchanting, scrolls, or depicting magic circles, they are all three-year profiteering businesses. Not to mention state subsidies.

Magicians, the richest and poorest group in the world.They can live comfortably by relying only on state subsidies, but they cannot afford the cheapest magic items.The high prices of magic materials and magic props were criticized by everyone, but there was nothing to do about it.After all, although the proportion of magicians is small, the number of spiritual objects in the world is even rarer.There are more wolves and less meat, which is not enough at all, and can only be restricted by human currency.

"No, it's not!" Sophia murmured even more, she was completely different from the lady who was chatting and laughing just now, "Usury has interest."

"Oh? How much is it now?" Xiao Tianming almost forgot the profit model of usury.

"Two hundred, two hundred..."

Before finishing speaking, Xiao Tianming interrupted with a smile: "Two hundred silver coins, right? I'll pay for you, I don't care about the money." Xiao Tianming also had a chance to pretend to be a rich man.

"No, it's not! It's two or two hundred gold coins!" Sophia finally said.

"Hiss!" Xiao Tianming gasped. An elite soldier's monthly income is only ten gold coins, and Sophia is directly in debt for two years' income. What kind of pressure is this for a dilapidated family?

With some heartache, Xiao Tianming took out a small burlap bag on his waist, took out a delicate and small money bag from it, and said, "Here are three hundred gold coins, you take it first."

Ever since he showed his power in Longyan City, Tianlong Fortress naturally rewarded him with a bonus. During the shopping spree in the past few days, Xiao Tianming was so tired that he was only responsible for picking up things. But it came in handy.

"Then, then you sit down first, I'll come as soon as I go." Sophia was unwilling to accept it, and she couldn't refute Xia Tian's good intention to buy it. In addition, they were knocking more and more tightly, so she picked up the purse and turned to leave. go.

"Touch!" There was a loud knock on the door.

"You bastard, did you deliberately not open the door to avoid debts?" A vicious voice came from outside the door.

"No, that's not the case! Listen to my explanation... ah~!" A woman's scream came, followed by a loud "slap".

What follows is the sobbing of a woman.

Xiao Tianming was furious. It was obvious that a bad guest came to the door and wanted to force the debt, but when he disagreed with him, he actually beat him.I have long heard that the law and order in the slums is not good, but I did not expect the wicked to be so arrogant!Xiao Tianming got angry and hurried out.

Just as he walked to the door, the scene in front of him set Xiao Tianming, who had always boasted of a good temper, on fire.

In order not to frighten the child, Sophia put the child in the back room before going out.At this moment, she huddled in the corner, her clothes were messy, and a red palm print appeared on her delicate face.Feeling aggrieved and overwhelmed, he could only soothe the pain in his heart with tears.

There is no man in the family, being bullied!

"Let me tell you, don't talk to me about it! Today, you have to pay back your money, and you have to pay it back! If you can't pay back the money, the house will be used to pay off the debt. If the house is not enough, you will use your daughter to pay off the debt!" The man's face was full of flesh and blood, and he was vicious.

Although he didn't know why Sophia didn't take out the money he gave, Xiao Tianming rushed over and helped her up.It's good to comfort her, after all, she is the widow of her comrade-in-arms, so she must not let others bully her.

"No wonder you dare to talk back! You have such a bad face? Even he can't keep you. If you don't take the money, you can use your body to repay the debt." I don't know if it's because he didn't see the magic robe on his body, or he didn't care at all, the big man is still vicious , without any restraint.

Xiao Tianming always ignored their words and ignored them.As for Sophia, she still hasn't recovered from the shock.

Use your body to pay off the debt?No wonder Tie Lao Si was so considerate when he went to borrow money, so he had already taken a fancy to him.Sell ​​yourself for glory?This kind of thing can't be done by oneself.But what about the child?

Seeing that the two ignored him at all, the big man became even more arrogant, and his mouth became more and more unclean. He cursed all over the ancestors, relatives and friends, and descendants.In his eyes, insulting people is as easy and casual as eating.

Xiao Tianming was angry: "That's enough, how much does she owe you! I'll pay it for her!" After all, it is in the imperial capital, and Xiao Tianming is not far away, even if it is a dark force, there is a backer of light.Fighting against them by yourself is not good for hiding your identity.

"Yo Yo Yo! The little boy wants a hero to save the beauty! Well, I will give you this chance. If you can come up with three thousand gold coins, I will let her go, otherwise, you should go where to play! It's not a big deal Please stand out!" The big guy doesn't take Xiao Tianming seriously, isn't he just an intermediate magician?There are too many people like this in the imperial capital, and our fourth master still has several under his command!Even if he was given a chance, it would be for the sake of the school emblem of Xianqin Academy!

"What? Twenty silver coins, you call three hundred gold coins! Three hundred gold coins, now you have three thousand, you might as well grab it!" Xiao Tianming was completely enraged.

"Snatch? Snatch it, there are loan sharks to get money fast! Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you are a student of Xianqin Academy, you would have been killed a long time ago. Don't think that you are a saint because you learn two-handed magic. Master Yu, it's too early! Step aside quickly, if you can't come up with money, I will take her away!" After the big man said that, he was going to force Sophia.

These dark forces are all linked together.Sophia was taken away today, and tomorrow she will reappear in the most prosperous land of willows in the imperial capital.Her whole life was ruined!

Who is Xiao Tianming?He is the mentor of the dead, the man who stands at the top of the world!If this matter is put in front of the eyes of ordinary people, there is no way, after all, the opponent is powerful.

It is said that the wires in this area have a very good relationship with Song Laosan. Song Laosan is also the housekeeper of the collateral branch of the Song family. He is at the bottom of the eastern district of the imperial capital and has great power. It is not something a small student can provoke.Tie Laosi has long coveted Sophia, and if it wasn't for Walan serving in the army, he would have succeeded in fear of being beheaded.

And Xiao Tianming finally learned all this from Sophia just now, and gradually understood the conspiracy of this force.Loan usury to helpless orphans and widowed mothers in the East District, impose unbearable interest, and finally force them into prostitution.Or carry out other evil activities, oppress good people, and work for tigers.

These bastards are not qualified to live in the world!

In a fit of rage, Xiao Tianming took out the Winter Staff, waved it lightly, and summoned more than a dozen skeleton soldiers. The tip of the staff flashed green light, and it was blessed with "Bone Strengthening". With one command, the skeleton soldiers were like tigers descending the mountain. Rush at each other.

"You, what are you going to do? Is there any law for the king?" The big man turned pale with shock.The younger brother under him is not an opponent to strengthen the skeleton soldiers at all. Only after he has practiced two hands can he barely support it.

"Wang Fa? In your eyes there is still Wang Fa? This is the Eastern District, and magicians only need to pay compensation for killing people. Bullying others, I will break the precept today! Die, bastard!" Xiao Tianming summoned a monster again. The ghost rushed straight at the debt collector. He was far from the level of fighting spirit leaving his body, so he could only wail incessantly.

"You have to think clearly, the third master and the fourth master will not let you go!" The debt collector uttered a stern cry, and his subordinates were killed by the skeleton soldiers one after another. Only he could barely hold on, but he couldn't last long.

"Oh?" Xiao Tianming stopped his hands suddenly, as if he was afraid.
