The man immediately glared at Erin and said with confidence: "But this is not the first time you have delayed it. According to the rules of Deep Blue, I have every reason to ask you to repay the money immediately. If you can't pay it back, either follow me and work to pay off the debt, or get out of Deep Blue!"

When the man turned to Richard, he had changed his face again, and his face change was as fast as that of an instant magic: "Dear Richard, maybe we shouldn't be here, but we are all doing things according to the rules of Deep Blue and dare not be in any way disobeyed. The great His Highness Su Helen once said that the contract cannot be blasphemed. But this woman owes the debt and refuses to pay interest or provide services according to the rules. Don't be blinded by her pity!"

His attitude was very respectful, but he also implicitly toughness in his words. The rules of Deep Blue don’t strictly mean it, but they are as tough as steel. Even the great magicians are not qualified to violate them, and Richard is even less qualified.

Richard frowned and looked back at Erin. The girl's eyes were obviously flinched and fearful. Moreover, her eyes didn't dare to touch Richard head-on.

Richard gathered his five fingers, and the jumping magic fireball floated several meters, and then exploded with a bang. Such exquisite magic control made the three men's faces change drastically, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. It's reasonable, but the status of the two sides was too disparate, so of course they were still afraid. If Richard was in a bad mood for a moment and injured them, the only trouble would be to compensate gold coins.

Richard glanced at them and said, "I will pay the debt she owes you. Now get out of here!"

"But..." The man in the lead was obviously unwilling to accept it and was still secretly staring at Erin hiding behind Richard.

Richard sneered and said, "Why, are you going to doubt my credibility?"

The three men's faces turned pale immediately and they kept saying they didn't dare. But the man in charge suddenly stared at Erin and said viciously: "Little thing, wait for me, it's best not to go home alone in the future!"

Richard's face darkened, and the three men immediately accelerated their pace and ran away. It was not until their backs disappeared that Richard turned around, looked at Erin who had his arms wrapped around him and lowered his head and said nothing, sighed and asked, "How much do you owe them?"

"One...one thousand two hundred gold coins." Erin's voice was very light, obviously trembling, while her shoulders were shaking quietly, obviously lowering her head and crying.

Richard wanted to speak but stopped, but finally just sighed.

He still remembered that the last time Erin refused to make money from him, but now it is less than a year, things have changed. If he hadn't been desperate, Erin would have not told him the amount of debt. Speaking the numbers means that she was ready to accept Richard's funding. Within a year, purity, self-esteem and pride had left her. The girl who had leaned in from the bathroom door had once exuded a good smell like sunshine all over her body.

Richard's heart was inadvertently tightened, some because of the man just said, "Didn't you make money from men?", and more because of the debt that forced her to such a desperate situation, only one thousand two hundred gold coins.

One thousand two hundred gold coins were just the expense of his experiments with the power of two magics and drinking two bottles of recovery potions. That was the old thing a year ago. Richard no longer drinks ordinary magic recovery potions. The thing is too effective and takes effect too slowly. When he gets the bill at the beginning of every month, he doesn't even look at the last four digits, because no matter the four zeros or four nines, it is just a meaningless fraction.

Richard was very calm and could not see any emotional fluctuations from his face. He just asked calmly: "I will pay back the money for you. Is there anything else?"

Erin hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I still owe the other people four hundred gold coins, but I can find a way myself..."

Richard interrupted her: "There are a total of 1,600 gold coins, right? It's no problem!"

Erin finally raised her head, and before that, she hurriedly wiped her hands on her face. She glanced at Richard, finally smiled helplessly, and then stretched out her hand to close her hair. Now her emotions had completely calmed down. Her faint smile seemed to have a trace of the sunny girl at the time, "But I don't have the ability to make this money, and I can't repay you for at least half a year. I have nothing, only myself. So if you want me, you can come to me at any time."

Richard seemed not to hear what she was saying, but took out a note, wrote the payment certificate on it, signed his name, stuffed it into Erin's hand, and then walked towards his residential area without even saying goodbye. After a few steps, Richard suddenly turned around. The girl did not leave, but hugged herself tightly with her hands, bent her knees and squatted in place.

He sighed softly in his heart again and walked back to the girl. Erin raised her head, looked up at Richard, and said softly: "I...I'm very scared. I'm sorry..."

"Is it because of those men?"

Erin nodded silently.

Richard stretched out his hand to the girl and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back. I want to see who dares to stop you on the road."

Richard's words were already filled with a faint murderous aura. When he had promised to repay the debt for Erin, if those people dared to pester them, Richard would not mind giving them a deep lesson, and even sent a few people to hell.

The residents of the Deep Blue Main Tower and the Fringe Area are completely two classes, with huge differences in power. If Richard kills people in the Fringe Area, he only needs to pay the money. When the other party maliciously provokes or insults him, Richard has no responsibility at all and even avoids losing money.

Erin held Richard's hand and stood up with the force. Then she immediately quietly withdrew her hand and was slightly behind Richard.

It was a long and quiet road from the main tower to the edge. It was already late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. A few people hurried past without looking at Richard and Erin. They had exhausted their energy during the busy day of their journey, and now they were just looking forward to being able to go back early and have a warm sleep. There was still a whole day of work waiting tomorrow.

Along the way, Richard and Erin remained silent without saying a word. Both of them didn't know what to say. A year later, they had reached a point of speechlessness.

In an alley outside the edge of the edge area, Irene's residence is a closed room where there is no view of the dark blue outside. There are still windows, but it is more like a furnishing. The window can only be opened to the inside of the room. A place where a slap outside is the wall of the patio. Magic light is the only source of lighting. Similar houses can be seen everywhere in the edge area, and living rooms with exterior windows are three to four times the price of such houses. Although there are several small towns scattered around the dark blue area, people from outside would rather live in the dark blue. Even the black houses in the edge area are more decent than the residents of the town.

After sending Erin to the door and secretly recording the address, Richard turned around and left, intentionally not going to see Erin with anticipation.

Because the sky is still cold, the edge area at night is very quiet, the light is dim, and the inferior polymer fuel is quite unstable. The light flickers and flickers, swaying, pulling out large shadows, like monsters in different planes, crawling and leaping, and can leaps and hunt prey at any time.

For some reason, Richard suddenly felt a little cold. It was close to the outermost edge of the edge area, and the temperature was only minus ten degrees. However, Richard's magic robe was naturally different from ordinary magicians, and it could resist it even if it was minus fifty degrees. But now Richard felt a little cold, and it was very cold. It was a kind of cold cold, as if it was in an ice cave that had not melted for thousands of years. Even the air was solidified, and it seemed to fall into a reptile cellar. From time to time, something snaked across the back. Soon Richard was covered in thin sweat and soaked in close-fitting clothes, which was particularly uncomfortable.

He let out a heavy breath and loosened the buttons at the collar of the magic robe. When his fingertips accidentally touched the badge on the collar, he suddenly became scalded! The badge began to emit hazy light and was extremely hot. This badge was unique to Su Hailun's students. It was not only a symbol of status, but also solidified a magic to detect hostility. And it became so hot that it means that the enemy was close and did not hide its murderous intention!

Richard suddenly froze!

Behind Richard's side, a shadow began to bulge, and then a human-shaped creature emerged from it. It cut the shadow like tearing the cocoon skin, and then rushed out like a cheetah. A dull dark gray short sword in his hand had stabbed Richard hard at the back of his waist!

This stabbing was ruthless and swift, and was launched suddenly at close range. Even the trained warriors were attacked by the sneak attack, not to mention that they were just a magic apprentice who had not yet grown up. The killer and the archer were always nemesis of the magician, but one was close and the other was long-range.

When the sword tip of the short sword touched the magic robe, it turned out unexpectedly and failed to pierce the magic robe! The killer's reaction was also good, without any panic, and there was no deviation in the sword tip. He calmed down a little and stabbed it again. A faint earth-yellow light immediately lit up on the magic robe, and then swelled up, and another translucent shield was triggered.

The killer immediately felt that his arm and weapons were exploring into the rich mud, and it was very difficult to wield. But it was not the first time that the killer assassinated a magician, and he had more experience in dealing with the magic shield. So he was still at that point on the tip of the sword, and suddenly burst out the force. The short sword stabbed like a cone chisel, and with a sniff, it had already cut a big hole in the magic robe!

However, behind the magic robe is empty!

The killer waved his arm and threw his magic robe aside. Seeing Richard having taken the opportunity to run out several meters and was running towards the entrance of a shadow alley. The killer was immediately secretly happy because another of his companions were already lying in the alley. Richard was seeking death! However, the prey died in whose hands, the credit was different. The killer immediately accelerated, leaned forward to almost parallel to the ground, and chased closer at a speed twice that of Richard.

Perhaps Richard escaped too quickly, and he tripped his feet and fell out in the air. In a panic, he reached out to grab an iron bar attached to the alley wall, and seemed to want to use the force to stabilize his flying body. The killer, who was only one leap away from Richard, was overjoyed. Richard is now a completely alive target, and he can kill him before he escaped into the alley. Once Richard escapes into the alley, it will be difficult to attack before his companions.

So the killer suddenly increased to the highest speed, and the short sword stabbed Richard in the waist again!

However, Richard, who grabbed the iron bar, suddenly showed a completely different power! His body drew a semicircle with the iron bar as the center, and slapped the wall with a bang, but just avoided the killer's fatal blow! The killer who was flying with all his strength fell into nothing, but was unable to control the direction due to excessive force, and flew past Richard in front of him according to inertia. In the eyes of the killer, this was equivalent to letting Richard review the vital points of his body. Fortunately, he was a magician, if he was also a killer...
