White Tower Wizard

　　 Forex's gold and silver dollar banknotes, one gold and one silver, look very exquisite. They are printed with special ink and special paper using superb alchemical craftsmanship.

The lines are clear, with large denominations on the front and patterns on the back. The 1 gold dollar coin is printed on the Forex Parliament Building, and the 50 silver dollar printed on the back is the Yorkson River View Waterfall in the Fairy District of Forex. On the back of the denomination banknotes, the most representative buildings or landscapes of Fores are also printed.

　　 Translucent observation, as well as watermark anti-counterfeiting, the colorful and bright bands can be clearly seen around the banknotes. This kind of banknote making technology that is not inferior to the earth makes Lin Rui truly amazed.

　　 After withdrawing the money from the bank, Lin Rui planned to buy something to fill up his stomach. Just now watching the two elves at the counter having breakfast leisurely, he was also a little hungry.

　　 Well, turn left at the intersection ahead, there seems to be a bakery.

　　 Thinking of the smell of bread, Lin Rui became more hungry, and subconsciously walked towards the corner according to the memory position.

　　 "Oh!"

　　 But at the moment he turned the corner, he suddenly rushed out of a small man. Unexpectedly, Lin Rui was severely knocked and staggered by him and almost fell. And the little man sat down directly on the ground, with a bit of pain on his face.

　　 Lin Rui rubbed the sore right arm that was hit, and barked his teeth and looked at the ground. This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, wearing a shabby plaid shirt and gray overalls, and wearing a newsboy hat with the brim of the hat low.

"sorry sir."

　　 The young man put his hands on the ground, the painful expression on his face had not disappeared, he suddenly seemed to think of something, looked back in panic, then immediately got up, ran away in a hurry, leaving only a word.

　　 "Hey, you..."

　　 Lin Rui's words choked in his throat. what happened? Is anyone chasing him? Lin Rui looked at the young man's back, turned the corner suspiciously, and looked at the streets with people coming and going. No one was chasing or looking for people. Oh, sure enough, the bakery is not far ahead.

　　 "What the **** is going on..." Lin Rui patted his coat and muttered, "...it's bad!"

　　 Suddenly, Lin Rui reacted as if waking up from a dream, and touched his clothes pocket. As expected, the few copper coins in his right pocket were gone.

　　 "Damn thief!"

　　 Lin Rui turned around quickly, but the boy was no longer visible, because the incident happened suddenly, he could not remember the boy's appearance.

　　 "Oh, it's really unlucky, I'm still careless..."

Lin Rui never thought of asking the police on the street for help, because in the sky camp, this kind of theft was too common, and he didn't remember the appearance of the thief. Besides, the money stolen was not much, only two 50 yuan and Two 10 yuan copper coins, the patrolman would not care about this kind of thing at all.

　　 Although there is not much money, Lin Rui still has the expression of eating flies. It is very uncomfortable. Although the money is small, his heartache is big.

　　 It is still because of the inertia on the earth. When I see that it is a child, I lower my guard and blame myself for underestimating the "folk customs" here.

　　 Such bad acting skills can fool himself, Lin Rui feels like a big fool. Fortunately, I put the money I just got from the bank in the inner pocket of my overcoat, otherwise the loss would be great...

Ugh…

　　……

　　 Nick felt very lucky today. He saw a big fat sheep when he went out early in the morning. The man came out of the bank and must have taken cash from him.

He made an accidental collision at the corner. After he succeeded, he immediately "fleeed thousands of miles". He quickly ran across three streets and through five alleys, and finally stopped in a dark alley, and then leaned against the wall. , Panting heavily, turned his head and looked behind him.

　　 "Very good, no one catches up."

　　 After confirming the safety, Nick took the stolen money out of his pocket.

　　 "Bah! Poor ghost, that's just that. It seems that I have to continue working today."

　　 Nick cursed a bit and wanted to turn around and leave, but didn't notice his feet.

　　 "Squeak...squeak!"

The cry of 　　 suddenly sounded, and Nick jumped. It seemed that he had kicked something living under his feet. Upon closer inspection, three or five mice were digging into the sewer from the garbage dump.

　　 "When did the sky camp have so many rats? It's really annoying. Forget it, I have to go buy some food..." Without taking this episode to heart, Nick walked out of the alley cautiously.

　　 Lin Rui walked into the bakery uncomfortably, and glanced roughly at the freshly baked bread on the counter.

　　 "Good morning, guest, what do you need?"

　　 Standing behind the counter is a middle-aged man, wearing a white chef's uniform, who is the owner of this shop.

　　 "Well, do you have butter bread?" Lin Rui looked around the counter.

"I'm really sorry, customer, because the price of butter bread is more expensive and the sales are not good, so I usually don't make it in stock. If you need it, I can order it for you, but you need to pick it up tomorrow." The boss said Sorry to explain.

　　 "Forget it, give me two wheat pineapple buns. How much?"

　　 The boss skillfully picked up two big pineapple bags from the counter, put them in a greased paper pocket, and handed them to Lin Rui. Then he smiled and said, "Chenghui, 60 copper yuan."

　　 Lin Rui put a one-silver dollar note on the counter while taking out a pineapple bun, and took a big bite, as if he could vent his depression of being stolen.

　　 Just as Lin Rui was biting the bread, he turned his head to find a little girl who looked six or seven years old standing outside the window of the bakery.

　　 She is wearing a dirty white dress, with a mess of blond hair tied behind her head, her face is dirty, and her unique small pointed ears indicate that she is a half-elf, a hybrid of humans and elves.

However, what brought Lin Rui the most shocking feeling was her large watery eyes, which were filled with "desire", staring straightly at the bread in Lin Rui's hand while her throat was straight. Swallowing. It should be very hungry.

　　 Under the gaze of a child, Lin Rui felt like chewing wax, and couldn't eat the bread in his hand.

　　 Isn't this another trap?

　　 Lin Rui looked at the street outside, and finally his eyes fell on the little girl again. Oh, forget it.

　　 "Boss, give me two more."

　　 Lin Rui took out another 1 silver dollar bill, and while talking, he walked out of the bakery with the pineapple buns left in the bag.

　　 At this time, the little girl realized that Lin Rui had seen her and walked towards herself. She lowered her head in embarrassment, and turned around to run away.

　　 "Please wait, girl, are you hungry?"

　　 The little girl stopped and looked back at Lin Rui.

　　 "Come on, here you are, I know, it's uncomfortable to be hungry." Lin Rui bent down, handed the bread to the little girl, and said gently.

　　 The little girl stood there with her hands behind her back, a little embarrassed, looking at the bread handed over, some wanted to take it, but she didn't dare.

　　 "It's okay, take it. My name is Green, what's your name?"

　　 With Lin Rui's encouragement, the little girl finally stretched out her hand cautiously, took the oil paper bag containing the bread, and hugged it tightly in her arms, before making a small noise from her mouth.

　　 "Alice..."

　　 "Well, is Alice? Really a good name." Lin Rui said softly, but he felt a little confused again. "Why don't you eat bread, you should be very hungry?"

　　 "Mom is sick...I have to take care of her..." Alice replied in a low voice.

　　 Lin Rui feels uncomfortable, some invisible things seem to be blocking his heart...

　　 opened his mouth, and finally said comfortingly: "It's okay, come with me, I have some more here."

　　 Lin Rui took a cautious Alice into the bakery, and gave her two more breads that the boss had packed. Alice still held the bag of bread tightly in her arms as if she was protecting food, and still had no desire to eat.

　　 Just as Lin Rui was about to say something, Alice whispered again: "It's Nick...I saw it just now. It was Nick who stole your money...It's around the corner."

　　 "What?" Lin Rui was a little startled.

　　 "But Nick is not actually a thief, but recently his parents are also sick, otherwise he won't steal things..." Alice explained hurriedly afterwards.

　　 Having said these words, Alice turned around and wanted to run out, but stopped after running a few steps, turned around and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry! Mr. Green, you are a good person. Thank you..."

　　 Looking at the thin back of Alice leaving, Lin Rui's heart was a little heavy, he was thinking about the information revealed from her words.

　　 "This little girl often haunts this area during this time, she may be a liar. Guest, you are too generous!" The bakery owner beside her watched for a long time and finally couldn't help but said.

　　 "It's okay, since the money has been stolen, I will be cheated again..."

　　 "It's okay."

　　 Lin Rui picked up the copper plate that was found on the counter, put it in his pocket casually, straightened the hat on his head, and walked out of the bakery.
