The girl behind him was about 15 or 16 years old.

She had light pink pupils, long pink ponytails, and wore a gorgeous light pink dress and small leather shoes. Even her cute little face was dyed light pink because of anger.

"Finally I caught you, you hateful thief! How dare you make me so embarrassed!"

She chased after him angrily and shouted at Xiao Lin: "Although I don't know how you stole my wallet, I will definitely send you to the security office and let the guards arrest you! I tell you, you are done!"

Anyone who is suddenly scolded will not feel good, especially when they are misunderstood.

But Xiao Lin knew that he couldn't say anything at this time.

The more anxious he was to explain, the more the other party would think that he was guilty, which would fuel her anger.

The best way is to let the girl vent and wait for her brain to calm down.

Xiao Lin did not move.

After she ran out of energy to scold him, she said calmly, "Are you done?"

"Huh?! You thief..."

"Don't call me a thief, it's very rude, don't you know? And what evidence do you have to say that I'm a thief?"

The girl was choked by Xiaolin's retort.

Although she was very upset, she couldn't find a reason to refute.

She could only stare at Xiaolin angrily.

"I got this purse from an old woman with inconvenient legs and eyesight... Oh, it seems that you have also reacted."

Seeing her face suddenly change, Xiaolin couldn't help but chuckle with a hint of mockery.

"How, how could it be, I was obviously helping her out of kindness..." The girl seemed to be incredulous that her kindness was being used.

After a moment, she came back to her senses and said to Xiaolin in a somewhat unreasonable way: "Then you should also return the wallet to me, it's my wallet!"

"Yours? Do you have any evidence?"

"There are 9 gold and 15 silver in the wallet. If you don't believe it, you can open it and take a look."

She seemed very sure of how much money was in it.

Xiaolin opened his pocket and roughly counted it. It was indeed the same as she said.

Not only that, there were quite a few copper coins at the bottom, and there was no more money.

"Hey--, it's true."

"I'm not wrong! Does this prove that the wallet is mine... Wait, what are you doing?!"

In the girl's unbelievable eyes, Xiaolin took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it into his pocket leisurely.

"Okay, it's not now."

"Huh?!"

"Now it's 8 gold and 15 silver. The money here doesn't match what you said."

Xiaolin's smile became even bigger.

Indiscriminate slander, do you really think you are easy to bully?

How can it work without making things difficult?

"You can guess how much money there is. You may just be lucky to guess it. If you don't show me the key proof, I won't give it back to you."

"You...!"

The girl looked at Xiaolin with gritted teeth.

She had never seen such a rogue, but she couldn't do anything to him. She had the terrible thought of "I really want to shoot him!"

But she couldn't not take the money back.

The girl pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and whispered reluctantly: "My name, Myin, is sewn on the inner wall of the wallet."

Opening the purse, she found that there were indeed two small words sewn on the inner wall. ♝♦  ♦♦

It was the first time that Xiaolin saw this kind of text, but he somehow knew what the words were.

——Myin.

It seems that the purse is indeed hers.

She took out the gold coins from her pocket and threw them to her together with the purse.

"Huh?"

Myin was surprised. She didn't seem to expect that Xiaolin would return the money to her after just a little trouble.

"Don't want it?"

"How is that possible!"

Main tightly grasped her purse, fearing that it would be stolen again.

Seeing her like this, Xiaolin couldn't help but chuckle.

Main knew she was embarrassing herself, but she still pretended to pull up her skirt and acted like a reserved lady.

"Thank you anyway."

"You're welcome. If you can control your temper a little, I think we will get along better."

Xiaolin provoked her a little, which was a small revenge.

"You...!"

Main was furious, but she had just suffered a loss and had to say sullenly: "I know, thank you for your advice."

"But if you must thank me, why not treat me to a meal. I'm hungry."

Xiaolin raised his eyebrows, as if hinting at Main.

"Hmph, it's just a treat, no problem!"

Main was not stingy and agreed generously.

-In a tavern--

"Let's order first."

The three sat in a corner, ordered some food, and then started talking.

Most of the time, Xiaolin was asking questions and Mayin was talking.

According to intelligence, this country is an ancient country with a thousand-year-old civilization and is also the most powerful country in the world.

The supreme ruler of the country is the emperor, and the power structure is divided into civil officials who manage politics and military generals who manage the military. The head of the civil officials is the minister, and the head of the military generals is the general.

The city where Xiaolin is currently located is the capital of the empire, where the emperor and ministers are located.

Although it is the center of the empire, it is corrupt and people's lives are very difficult.

It is rumored that the culprit who makes people live in poverty is the minister who manipulates the emperor behind the scenes.

When Ma Yin talked about the minister, she gritted her teeth, as if she had some deep hatred with the minister.

But these are just background introductions.

What Xiao Lin cares about most is what Ma Yin said, called [Imperial Equipment].

It is said that a thousand years ago, in order to maintain long-term rule, the founding emperor used the huge financial resources and power of the empire to summon the most advanced craftsmen from all over the world, using legendary super-dangerous species as materials, rare metals such as Ohari steel and a large number of long-lost secrets, and developed forty-eight weapons that cannot be replicated. They are collectively called Imperial Equipment.

Imperial Equipment, Empire, Imperial Capital, Minister, Ma Yin, and the darkness hidden in the prosperity...

Xiao Lin knows which world he has come to.

"You don't even know such an ordinary thing?!" Marin said with a dry mouth. After drinking a large glass of water, she couldn't help but complain: "It's unbelievable. Are you a country bumpkin from somewhere?"

"Ah, I am indeed a country bumpkin."

Xiao Lin did not deny, "I came out of the village just to make a name for myself in the imperial capital."

"Country bumpkin?"

Marin looked at him strangely, and then looked at Liu Zi, who was wearing a dress more gorgeous than hers.

But everyone has their own secrets, so she didn't ask any more questions.

When she saw Liu Zi sitting quietly in her seat without saying a word, she took the initiative to say politely: "Isn't the ordered dish in line with the lady's preferences? Why not let her order more dishes?"

"No, no need."

Xiao Lin took the initiative to decline her kindness and said: "She doesn't need to eat, or even drink water or sleep."

"Huh? Who doesn't need to eat, drink water, or sleep...wait!"

Marin was about to scold but suddenly stopped talking. She thought of Xiao Lin's strong reaction when he heard about the imperial tool, and seemed to realize something.

"Could it be that she is... an imperial tool?"

"... Yeah."

In the eyes of Marin's nervous expectation, Kobayashi was silent for a moment and then slowly nodded.

Is it really an imperial tool?

Marin's eyes widened with excitement. She actually encountered a wild imperial tool user!

As we all know, imperial tools are very powerful.

If there is one more imperial tool user, they will be more confident in getting rid of the minister and overthrowing the corrupt rule of the empire!

No imperial tool user should be spared!

Marin remembered what her boss said, coughed lightly and said to Xiaolin: "I remember you said you were a country boy, and you came out of the village just to make a name for yourself?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Do you need my help? Just consider it as a thank you for helping me find my wallet."

"Well..."

"Don't be so fussy!"

Seeing Xiaolin hesitate, Marin slammed the table and said angrily: "I rarely thank others. Since I said I want to help, just accept it honestly! Otherwise, starting from a soldier, how long will it take to become a captain or a general? In the imperial capital, connections are the most important!"

"Does having connections make you get promoted quickly?"

"That's right!"

"...Okay, I accept it."

Seeing Xiaolin accept her help, Marin was secretly happy.

——He took the bait!
