Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Daphne often glimpsed Rubili, the drunkard, who was picking up garbage. Based on this, she roughly figured out his daily routine and followed the sewer map to reach the civilian area of ​​the city.

Although Shadowmoon City is a rich and magnificent city, there are poor people everywhere, and this place is no exception. They struggle to survive here, and the garbage discarded by the rich has become the survival support of these slum residents. This is an eternal law.

The slums are forgotten corners of society. Even the missionaries of the church will not set foot here. God seems to never pay attention to the suffering of the world. The gospel is often heard only in the rich areas, and compassion can only be felt in the church, because the time to raise funds for God has come...

Under the scorching sun, a down-and-out middle-aged man was rushing to pick up garbage. He was allowed to enter designated streets and do dirty work for the residents, so that they would give him priority in handling the garbage and give him some of the excess food. He could then earn a small amount of money and continue to live.

His left arm was drooping, having now shrunk beyond recognition. He missed his past career as a mercenary very much, but in his current state, how could he even lift a sword and go into battle?

"Hey, scavenger, please help clean my toilet. The chimney needs to be cleaned of smoke and dust. If you do a good job, you can take this pile of garbage away. I am kind-hearted and will give you a pound of white bread."

Rubili saw his contemptuous eyes and snobbish attitude and knew that he was a stingy person. He couldn't go to a good place. Families like this who couldn't afford servants were also poor, but they loved to show off more than the rich and bully the poorer ones.

He had long been accustomed to it. Looking at a pile of garbage, only this broken copper candlestick was worth two silver coins, and the rest of the garbage could only be pulled out and thrown away as a coolie.

It is really abusive to spend two silver coins to do such dirty and tiring work for half a day. It is almost the same price as the feed for a cow in a day. It is a naked mockery.

But we cannot afford to offend the snob. If she exaggerates and makes things up in this village, maybe we won’t even be able to come here to pick up rubbish next time.

He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Thank you, ma'am, you are the most generous, kind and virtuous lady I have ever met."

"Hehehe, the scavenger is really good at talking. Let's get to work. I'm happy today. You can eat some bread and water before working. Don't be in a hurry. Just finish before dark."

A few words of flattery that were not sincere and not from the heart actually successfully exchanged for two pieces of white bread with tempting aroma! Moreover, these two pieces of bread were not ordinary, they were smeared with a layer of golden and fragrant butter! The taste was simply wonderful after taking a bite, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. It seems that today's luck is not as bad as imagined.

Looking back on the whole day, Rubili was really exhausted. He first helped the snobbish lady do dirty and tiring work for half a day, and then he was responsible for cleaning up the piles of garbage.

Fortunately, his hard work finally paid off. In addition to a shabby candlestick and half a pound of useless scrap iron, he also exchanged them for two glittering silver coins and seventy copper coins! The reason why he was able to get such a reward was that he spared no effort to praise the lady, saying things like "You look so elegant and blessed." There was no other way, who was forced by life? Rubili, who was not very good at speaking, now had to learn how to please people.

When night fell, the exhausted Rubili dragged his heavy steps back to his mud house which was as simple as it could be.

It was already late at night, but he didn't have time to rest. He simply washed his face first, and then began to look through the various bottles he had picked up from the trash in the bar that morning. After some effort, he finally collected a small half bottle of residual alcohol. Although the amount was not much, for Rubili at this moment, this was undoubtedly the best proof that the goddess of luck favored him today.

After making all the preparations, Rubili couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and taste it carefully. After all, he had been living in poverty for so many years, and could only eat some extremely poor food every day, which caused most of his teeth to fall out.

Not only was it extremely difficult for him to eat now, but he was often in so much pain that he couldn't sleep all night. So drinking a little wine to relieve his cravings seemed to be the only way for him to relieve the pain.

At this moment, a figure entered his house quietly and was almost fainted by the unpleasant smell in the house.

Rubili's instinct was not lost, and he asked without turning his head: "Who is it?"

"Mercenary drunkard Ruby, I need help."

"Who are you and how do you know my name? I am ashamed to mention it and have forgotten it long ago."

"No, you haven't forgotten, and you are still doing well. So do you want to accept the task?"

"Since this lady recognized me, she is an old customer. Okay! Let's talk about the task! The commission is easy to negotiate."

A thud...

A leather bag fell precisely onto a table made of broken bricks and boards.

The drunkard picked it up and saw that there were dozens of gold coins inside. Is it still so valuable? He couldn't believe his eyes. He was very excited, but pretended to be calm and said:

"Tell me! What do you want to do?"

"I need healing, I need food to repair my body, find me a slum... to hide."

"That's all? Any civilian can do it, it's not that simple!" He still didn't dare to look back, the opponent's position could easily hit his vital points the moment he turned around, and he was a useless person and had no ability to fight back...

Experience has taught Rubili not to act rashly and not to be curious.

"I'm very tired and can't hold on for much longer. I'm seriously injured. Don't be afraid. I'm betting my life that you won't betray me..."

Rubili didn't say anything. This woman must have been in big trouble. She wanted to hide here to avoid being hunted down by her enemies. Would he still be afraid of death? He was suffering every day of his life. If he died this time, he would be free.

"Hahaha! Madam, please believe me, I will definitely accept this mission. It is much more dignified to die on the road of performing a mercenary mission than to die miserably while scavenging! So, employer, please rest assured, the honor of us mercenaries absolutely counts at this moment..." the man said with a heroic smile.

However, when he turned around and looked at the person in front of him again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. After a careful look, he almost thought that this was the old customer who had hired him many times. So he asked with concern: "Madam, I don't know why you look as pale as paper, and your lips are bloodless. Can you tell me the reason?"

"I feel extremely tired and hungry now. I really don't have the strength to speak. Let's wait until my mental state recovers a little before talking. I urgently need to eat to replenish my strength now." The lady replied weakly.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly took out all the white bread he had begged from the snobbish lady and handed it to the lady. Unfortunately, all the utensils in the house were filthy and could not be used at all. In desperation, he had to rush to the river and wash the utensils as hard as he could, and then he lit a fire to boil some hot water for her to enjoy.

The lady was a wealthy person, but she never expected to encounter such a predicament. She wolfed down the water without caring about the source, and fell asleep on her shabby bed after drinking it all.

Those unnecessary worries did not happen, and he did not dislike the mess at home...

This bag of gold coins, you can eat whatever you want. She had sword wounds and blunt weapon injuries. How she managed to hold on is a mystery. A normal person can't move at all...
