The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Arrita bowed insincerely to Dadan, the old woman in front of her who was wrapped like a rice dumpling. "This is all my fault. Please forgive me for my rudeness."

"How can I forgive you so easily?" Dadan waved the crutch in his hand angrily, "I'll give you your stick and then you forgive me, okay?"

"Okay." Arrita took out her iron rod and threw it to the ground. With a bang, the ground trembled. "Here, my rod is here. You can take it."

"Do you think I dare not?" Dadan became even more angry, "I am Dadan, the bandit with a bounty of 780 million Baileys."

"Oh oh oh" Arrita waved her hand insincerely, "I understand, just take it quickly."

Dadan lowered his head and grabbed Arrita's stick. Dadan began to inhale. Dadan's arms screamed, "Call me up ah ah ah."

The stick is motionless

"I don't believe it, call me ah ah ah ah"

a gust of wind blows

The air suddenly became stagnant.

"Okay, okay." Kong Ming, who was watching the show, came out at this time and started to increase his presence, "We are not enemies, so there is no need to be so tense. Arrita, don't throw your sticks around casually in the future. Sticks are weapons. You can't throw it around. Even if it doesn't hit anyone, it's still bad if it hits flowers, plants and the like. Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and put your stick away."

"No problem, boss." Arrita lowered her head and picked up her stick with three fingers, then easily picked up the stick and Dadan together, then shook Dadan twice, shook Dadan off the stick, and removed the stick. Insert yourself back.

Kong Ming watched all this calmly. He knew that Arrita was angry with Dadan because of Ace. He also knew that Dadan was a kind-hearted bandit.

But so what if he knew that he was not familiar with Dadan.

Which way should the elbow turn? Didn't Kong Ming have some thoughts in mind?

Moreover, it is simply a joke to think that Dadan can take the stick that Arrita has now with just his strength. You must know that after he was promoted to Arcanist, rebuilt and enchanted with gravity, the stick has now become an out-and-out killer weapon. Even Arrita does not adjust the gravity attached to the stick. I can't even lift it.

Besides, although Arrita is a bit arrogant, she is generally a kind person, so after such a fuss, she just let it go, and the matter was over.

Why do you mean Dadan doesn't think this matter is over?

This is simpler

"Okay, let's calm down." Kong Ming's eyes swept around the room, especially looking at Ace next to him who clearly couldn't bear it, but still pretended to be indifferent, revealing a warm expression. Walking in front of Dadan with a smile, "Anyway, this is a misunderstanding."

Kong Ming opened his mouth to settle the matter first. It was just a misunderstanding. That bastard Arrita definitely didn’t mean it.

"Let's do this." Kong Ming easily released a mage's hand to lift Dadan up, and then used another mage's hand to sweep aside all the broken floor tables and other debris near Dadan. Then another mage's hand came over and brought a table and three chairs, placed them in front of him, and then controlled the mage's hand to place Dadan on the chair opposite the table.

The mage's hand is so convenient. If the mage's hand is not a zero-level spell, which is a spell that can be used by apprentices, if Kong Ming has been able to skillfully cast all zero-level spells after being promoted to arcanist, he would have the heart to do so. He directly solidified the mage's hand on himself.

But in the eyes of other people in the room, Kong Ming raised his hand casually, and Dadan was picked up by Kong Ming. Then Kong Ming waved his hand again, and the garbage on the ground was swept aside. Then Kong Ming waved, and the chair and The table flew over.

"Devil Fruit user" Dadan shouted in surprise.

"Informed." Kong Ming smiled slightly, sat down on the chair opposite Dadan, and then motioned for Arrita to sit down next to him, "But unfortunately, I am not a devil fruit user, but a magician."

Dadan didn't believe Kong Ming's words at all and snorted coldly.

Kong Ming did not intend to have a long discussion with Dadan on this issue, and went directly to the topic, "Although this matter is a misunderstanding that no one wants to see, we will not shirk our responsibilities in writing. So, you How about we cover all your medical expenses?”

"Is this a matter of medical expenses?" Dadan said angrily. Yes, this woman is very strong and that man is a Devil Fruit user, but is Dadan the kind of person who would bow to a powerful evil force?

Snapped

A stack of banknotes was slapped in front of Dadan's face.

"One Hundred Thousand Baileys"

"I told you, is this a matter of medical expenses?" Dadan trembled angrily, are you insulting me with money?

Snapped

Another stack of banknotes was slapped in front of Dadan.

"Two hundred thousand"

"I said, this isn't it." Dadan was still trembling.

Snapped

Another wad of bills was photographed.

"Three hundred thousand"

"I" Dadan stretched out his hand tremblingly.

Snapped

The fourth stack of bills was photographed.

"Four Hundred Thousand"

"" Dadan seemed to be too angry to speak.

Snapped

The fifth stack of bills was photographed.

"five hundred thousand"

"I told you, this is about the medical expenses." Dadan took all the banknotes in front of him into his arms without hesitation, and then patted his chest, "This matter is over."

"It's really a happy thing that we can reach a consensus so quickly." Kong Ming still had a warm smile on his face, "Actually, there is one thing we need to ask for your consent for when we come here this time. In addition, We also need you to send us a letter."

"What's the matter?" Dadan's eyes moved from Bailey on the table to Kong Ming's face, "What's the matter that a rich man like you can't handle, and why do you want to come to us bandits? It's not something illegal. Bar."

"You are joking." Kong Ming turned his head and waved to Ace, who had been standing in the corner with a complicated expression since just now, "Ace, come here."

"Ace" Dadan only discovered the existence of Ace at this time, "Why did you disappear for several days again? What on earth have you been doing these days?"

Ace, standing in front of Dadan, was flustered and didn't know how to answer.

"This matter is complicated to say." Kong Ming rubbed Ace's messy hair with his hand, then turned to look at Dadan, "Anyway, when we were doing things nearby, we discovered Ace's child. At the same time, we also knew, This kid Ace was fostered by Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy, right?"

"Yes," Dadan agreed, and then looked at Kong Ming with vigilant eyes, "But I also like little Ace very much, so I will not agree to sell him to you."

"Ahem." Kong Ming, who was choked by Dadan's words, coughed twice, "How is that possible? We are not human traffickers."

Dadan pulled Ace to his side, and then looked at Kong Ming with vigilant eyes, as if to say, you are human traffickers.

"We are from the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce. Have you heard of the name of our Chamber of Commerce?"

“Never heard of it at all”

""

"Anyway, let's make a long story short," Kong Ming organized his thoughts and continued, "My partner in the Chamber of Commerce, Arrita, is this beauty."

Kong Ming stretched out his hand and gestured to Dadan, "I found that your education of Ace has failed very badly. It should be said that you have not considered how to educate children at all. As a result, Ace is such a smart and capable child, but you have raised him to be illiterate. This matter is very serious. Do you know it’s serious?”

Dadan stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Don't children just need to prepare food? Do they also need education?"

"So, you illiterate people shouldn't have the right to raise children." Kong Ming straightened his body, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Dadan with disdain, "Children are the future of this world, and the good and bad of this world in the future will depend on it. For these children, and you can actually say that the children do not need education, you are committing a crime and it is a very serious crime. If you were in my hometown, you would be arrested and put in jail."

"Is it so serious?" Dadan couldn't understand Kong Ming's words at all.

"It's so serious." Kong Ming stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked down at Dadan. "If all the children in this world are illiterate, then what future does this world have?"

"But most people in this world are illiterate now, and I think it's pretty good."

"Ignorant, narrow-minded and short-sighted" Kong Ming criticized Dadan for a few words and then continued, "In view of your irresponsible care of Ace, we, the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, have decided to take over the rights to raise and educate Ace. , do you have any opinions now?”

"What do you mean?" Dadan scratched his head with his hand in embarrassment, "I didn't understand."

"It means" Kong Ming pushed up his glasses, "We feel that it is impossible for you to educate Ace into an outstanding child, so we decided to take Ace away and educate him on your behalf."

"No." Dadan finally understood and stood up, "Ace is my child, and I will not give my child to you, a human trafficker."

"First of all, I am not a human trafficker." Kong Ming pointed out Dadan's mistake calmly, "Secondly, Ace is not your child. He was fostered by Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy."

"No matter what," Dadan said firmly, "I will not let you take Ace away."

"Let me remind you something." Kong Ming looked at Dadan with a smile, "I am informing you, not begging you."

As he said that, Kong Ming took out a letter from his arms and slapped it in front of Dadan, "This is my letter to Lieutenant General Garp. It contains the route map of where I currently live. If Garp comes back, trouble You give it to him for me."

"Okay," Kong Ming turned to Alita and said, "Take Ace with you, let's go."
