Chapter 26: Crippled



According to the book, the improvement of mental power is a slow and subtle process. It does not directly bring enough intuitive performance. Only when it reaches a certain level, it will burst out instantly. The sign of the entry of wizard apprentices is to strengthen the five senses. Dolai can feel that he is more sensitive, but the improvement is not big enough. He knows that this is because his mental power is still too weak.

He did not get discouraged.

After get off work every day, he still competes with Oddo in wits and courage. However, Oddo has been a little rampant recently and even dares to monitor the door of Lao Ke's blacksmith shop.

Time slowly passed until February, the weather gradually warmed up, and the trees on the street began to sprout. In mid-February, there was an important festival in Mondo City called the Spring Festival, which meant that spring had arrived, the busy farming season was about to begin, and the things accumulated during the winter needed to be started, and so on. Even the blacksmith shop started to get busy, with a lot of orders and repairs every day, and Dolai and several first-level blacksmiths were exhausted.

Dole was tired after a day's work and became a little lax after get off work. When he reached the entrance of the slums, he was suddenly awakened. At this time, Otto's lackeys had surrounded him and rushed towards him together with Otto.

Dole was a little panicked. He just looked around and then spotted a small path and rushed straight towards it.

At the entrance of the trail, a man stood up with a grin, holding an iron pipe in his hand. When he saw Dolai coming, he waved a stick in his hand, seeming to be very disdainful.

As a street thug, Duolai was a little flustered, but he was calm inside. He was just a small thug. Although he was young now, the food he had earned in the blacksmith shop in the past two months was not in vain.

He quickly reached the entrance of the alley, and the thug hit him with a stick.

Dolai took a step forward, bent his elbow and blocked the iron rod, which hit his arm with a bang. After all, the gangster was not a professional and did not have much strength.

Dole raised his foot and kicked out. The huge force sent the man flying more than four meters away. He somersaulted on the ground and turned and ran. He could only fight one or two people now, but it would be bad if a group of people surrounded him.

When the people around saw this, they were stunned. This guy had such great strength. Even Otto, who was far away, was a little surprised. What had this kid eaten recently? He noticed at this time that Otto had grown taller. He looked thin and small before, but now he looked quite strong.

His heart sank, and he shouted coldly, "Chase after him, and make sure to catch him."

The entrance to the slum suddenly became chaotic, with several people pouring in and running. As they passed by, cement splashed on the muddy ground and splashed onto the walls on both sides.

Oddo was not really stupid. After a battle of wits and courage over the past few days, they had already found their way to the slums. Dolai came home from get off work from the blacksmith shop every day, and they had already marked the spot and blocked the road, but they did not expect that the interception would not work.

Dole was running and looking back at the same time, and he also felt that things were getting tough. Although each of these people might not be his match individually, they were outnumbered. He just counted them and found that this guy had twenty men for some reason. It was simply weird.

Is there a mine at home?

Dolai naturally didn't know that this guy promised that as long as Dolai was captured, he would deposit silver coins into the account, and the money actually came from Dolai himself.

Dole ran through the alley and quickly got out of it, but he found that no matter where he went today, Oddo's people would always block him nearby, and he became more and more angry.

This bastard really thinks I'm easy to bully.

He came out of a small alley, but did not rush out directly. Instead, he waited at the intersection, took out the dagger from his waist and held it in his hand.

Soon, he heard several footsteps coming from a distance, running and shouting.

"Not here?"

"Old Three, is he on your side?"

“No.”

"Then he's still in that alley! Hurry and chase him."

Doley analyzed the direction of the sound and looked around.

Basically no one in the slums is willing to cause trouble or fight. Their incomes are very low, and once they get sick, they will face the crisis of unemployment, inability to afford medical treatment, or even death. People here are very numb, and basically no one cares about other people's affairs. They chased here for a long time, but there was no ripple in the slums at all, and there was not even anyone cursing loudly.

This is a hopeless place.

Soon, two footsteps came from a distance and quickly arrived at the entrance of the alley, and then Odo's voice sounded from a distance.

"Damn it, where did you go? Haven't you found me yet?" He ran and panted, seeming to be very tired.

Dolai's eyes suddenly lit up. Was it Oddo himself? But at the same time, his heart tightened because there were two people. He didn't know the strength of the other one, but an ordinary gangster was at most a little stronger than an ordinary person.

Watching the legend of Naluye recently, I find that he is no longer afraid of ordinary people because he is no longer ordinary.

The sound came quickly and reached the entrance of the alley.

Dolai squatted down, holding the dagger in his hand, and when the footsteps approached and reached the entrance of the alley, he quickly jumped out from below and slashed along the ground thirty centimeters. Because he was angry, after the sword was out, he would strike anyone he saw, accurately and fiercely.

The iron sword slashed across a man's calves. The sharp blade separated the pants and cut into the flesh. Only a few resistances were felt, which quickly disappeared. The blade soon touched the bone and then carved deeply into it.

A scream was heard immediately, and then a person fell to the ground.

Dolai didn't even have time to see who it was. He raised his head and rushed towards the other person with his sword in hand.

The man was stunned at this time. The person next to him fell down. He didn't know what was happening. When Dolai stood up from the ground with a sword in hand, he saw what was going on.

He was shocked.

Duolai was not shocked. He had been worried and frightened for the past few days and was tired of it. He raised his sword and stabbed straight forward.

Although the man was afraid, he still raised his hand to block Dole's sword. With a scream, his arm was pierced by Dole's sword, and all his movements came to an abrupt stop.

Dole drew out his sword, blood gushing from it. He saw that the man was not Oddo, and then he lowered his head. The man on the ground must be Oddo.

Odo was lying on the ground, hugging his knees and screaming.

"My legs, my legs!"

Dole glanced at Oddo, turned around and stood in front of him. With a flash of twist in his eyes, he kicked Oddo hard in the face.

With a sense of resistance, Dole stopped, and Oddo somersaulted several times on the ground, then his screams stopped abruptly and he fainted.

After doing all this, he turned around and looked at the person whose arm he had pierced.

It was a young man, about 18 or 19 years old, who was leaning against the wall, looking at him in horror. A sword pierced his arm, but he didn't cry out a word, in pain and shock, without making a sound. Seeing this, Duolai turned away with a blank expression. There were too many people like this in Duomeng City, simply too many to count. They lived by following capable people, working as their thugs and working for them, and their own lives were worthless.

His goal had been achieved. He had just taken a look at Odo's miserable condition. Both of this guy's legs were broken and he had cut several tendons by himself. Unless he sought help from the wizard's advanced alchemy medicine, he would never be able to stand up again.

Feeling extremely happy, Dolai quickly disappeared in the slums. Although he was filled with resentment, he had no intention of killing anyone, after all, it was not a life-and-death feud.

Although they made an enemy this time, Dolai was not afraid at all. Instead, he was a little excited. After crippling Odo, this guy would definitely not dare to provoke him in the future. He could feel more relaxed next time.
