=====
Aston walked in the dim alley, quietly waiting for the beast in the dark to show its claws.
From the moment he stepped out of the guild, Aston noticed that someone was staring at him.
Aston also didn't expect that not long after he came to Orario, he would be targeted on his third day as an adventurer.
Aston was a little confused at first, but he quickly realized it.
There may be adventurers who keep an eye on the guild and the newly established Familia.
Aston just became an adventurer three days ago, and he is also a from a newly established family with no backing, basically, he is very easy to bully.
And my gains in the past few days have been very good. The first day was okay. Although I gained a lot, it was not enough to make people take risks.
But the next day, when I came out of the guild, my bag was heavy. It looked like I had gained a lot, so I was targeted.
Today is the third day, and I have still gained so much. Those guys who are targeting me will naturally not ignore it and will act.
Encountering this kind of thing, Aston simply took the initiative and entered such dark alleys to create opportunities for these guys.
It doesn't take a second thought to know that those who can be reduced to robbing new adventurers' property are some dirty things. With Aston's strength, there is no need to be afraid.
Taking a step back, even if Aston's melee strength is no match, Aston still has Excalibur and Fire Ring.
Mentioning Excalibur, with Aston's magical power, it can destroy Goliath using its full strength.
The same goes for Fire Ring, a magic that becomes stronger as Aston's strength increases.
As Aston's magic power increases, the power Fire Ring has exceeded lv.2 and can even threaten lv.3 monsters.
Although Aston has not tested it, he has some confidence in his heart.
Anyway, Minotaur was helpless against the flames of Fire Ring being instantly reduced to ashes.
This doesn't means that Aston wants to be a pure magician, but wants to practice both magic and martial arts. Otherwise, Aston will be able to brush down in a straight line just by casting Fire Ring.
After all, he has Void Furnace's passive ability to sustain this big consumer.
Walking in dark alleys for a long time, Aston came to a seemingly deserted place. where the guys hiding in secret finally emerged.
The guys following Aston were none other than the group that targeted Aston yesterday. There were only four of them in total.
Four people surrounded Aston from four directions. Among them, the Bearded Adventurer with a lush beard threw the short knife in his hand and said with a mocking face.
"Boy, make your choice, give us the things yourself, or let us help you give the things to us."
In their view, the scene before them had no suspense.
They will get a big harvest today.
The heavy bags look very large at first glance.
Several people's eyes unconsciously fell on the bag containing valis at Aston's waist, their eyes full of greed.
"Are you the only ones?" Aston glanced at the four of them and frowned, seeming a little confused.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Aston's words diverted several people's attention away from the bag. Looking at Aston's appearance, the Bearded Adventurer was very unhappy.
This sounds like looking down on them.
Why, isn't it enough for a few of them, adventurers who have been in Orario for several years, to surround you, a new adventurer?
Two of the other three were also very angry at this time, looking at Aston with very unkind eyes, the weapons in their hands were about to move.
This is Orario and they don't dare to go too far.
In the dungeon, based on Aston's words, they would just kill him without any hesitation.
If anyone kills people here, they will be targeted by the guild.
However, when one of the young men heard Aston's words, not only was he not angry, but his eyes twitched, his face became worried, and an idea arose in his mind.
"Could it be..."
Once the young man's thoughts arose, the young man saw a flash of blue light in front of his eyes, and then severe pain came from his body and limbs, causing him to unconsciously fall backwards to the ground.
Not only this young man, but also the other three adventurers who surrounded Aston fell to the ground at this time.
The screams echoed throughout the alley.
"You are not allowed to disclose my information to anyone. Once you let me know that my information has been disclosed, I will find you and kill you." Looking at the screaming people on the ground, Aston looked cold and spoke indifferently.
This was the first time he attacked someone with such a cruel method, but Aston didn't feel any discomfort.
Shaking his head slightly, Aston disappeared in an instant, leaving only an arc of electricity in the place, which disappeared after a hissing sound.
Not long after Aston left, some characters gradually appeared in the alley, they were all attracted by the screams.
Once they saw the people on the ground, everyone took a breath of cold air.
The hand, tendons, and hamstrings of the people on the ground were severed. In other words, these people were all disabled.
Although Orario has a potion that can restore this kind of injury, it is very precious and cannot be purchased by ordinary adventurers.
At first glance, these guys on the ground are not doing well, and there is no way they can afford it. In this case, what is it if they are not useless?
Soon, someone began to notify the guild and let its people handle the situation here.
Aston naturally didn't know what was happening here.
By now, Aston had returned to the main road.
However, Aston, who returned to the main road, was still frowning.
"That feeling of being stared at hasn't gone away at all."
"Is there anyone else watching me?"
"Moreover, this look seems a little different."
"Although this look is as greedy as the others just now, it has a different feeling, as if it were very hot, no, no, it is hot."
"Moreover, there is something wrong with the source of this gaze. It seems to be... in the sky." As his thoughts turned around, Aston unconsciously turned and looked towards the sky.
