Chapter 97 The Little Thief of Glei City
In those years, from starting from scratch to taking charge of the side, thousands of difficulties and obstacles, countless storms and waves have trained a pair of wise eyes of Leon. After seeing too many smiles, he has never been afraid to use the worst side to speculate on people's hearts.
So although Viscount Mailer was very polite on the surface, Leon could still see the inexplicable thing hidden behind his smile. The instinctive intuition made Leon vigilant from the bottom of his heart.
Aklan's psychic detection provides evidence from another perspective.
The next morning, when it was still dawn, Leon embarked on the journey to the city of Glei alone.
Before leaving, he made some necessary disguises and turned into a wandering single mercenary.
The first stop to Gley City was Colinworth Castle. Leon followed a small caravan into the castle smoothly. He gave up the idea of finding a guide, because it was not only troublesome but also easy to attract the attention of others.
In a bar in Collinsworth Castle, he bought a detailed map of the southwest province from a mercenary, and then hurried away.
It was not until the Colinworth collar came out that a string in Leon's heart finally loosened.
Gley was not far from Collinsworth Castle. He ran all the way. In the afternoon, Leon saw a towering city shrouded in mist in the distance.
In the Kingdom of Bemon, the royal capital Uglu represents the central core of the kingdom. Tomund City is the core of the southwestern province, so Glay City is the center of local power. This relationship is like tree trunks to branches and leaves.
So Leon wants to find a home for the Hammer tribe within the jurisdiction of Glay City. He first needs to pass the approval of Glay City and go up to Tomund City to Uglu.
It is absolutely not easy to get the territory. Even if you have the merits and titles in hand, with the style of the elders of the royal capital, it is common to delay a year and a half to get the territory certificate.
It is based on this understanding, so Leon has never thought that he can get a piece of territory back on his own trip, which is not a realistic thing at all.
But first of all, he should let the kingdom officially recognize the crazy hammer tribe, so as to get a ownerless hunting area as a shelter, and then slowly plot a formal territory.
In this way, the crazy hammer tribe will not be easily controlled by others.
Like many cities on the mainland, Glei City is built next to a river. This tributary of the Nucang River runs through most of the southwest provinces and extends to the territory of Shengyao Province.
The convenient water transportation channel has created the glory of Glay City. The prosperous commercial trade has become the economic pillar of this old city with a history of hundreds of years. The bustling wharf on the bank of the river and the boats on the river all illustrate this.
There is no moat in Glay City, and the open door warmly welcomes merchants, mercenaries and even vagrants from south to north. People can enter the city without even the tax of even a copper coin.
The guards at the gate told Leon that they could not ride horses except for nobles in the city, but he could first place the horses in a special stable outside the city, which was not expensive.
"The street is too crowded at this time. It will be difficult for you to walk with a horse, and it will also cause the dissatisfaction of others." The guard kindly reminded Leon.
Entering the countryside and following the customs, Leon had to foster his horned horse first and walk into the city of Glei with his bag on his back.
The guards really didn't lie to him. The prosperity of the city of Gree is definitely not under the city of Farrell. The terrible thing is that the size of its city is much worse than that of the city of Farrell, and the main street is not spacious.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and signs, large and small, are almost hanging in the center of the street. The more vendors and pedestrians go in and out to buy goods, the more crowded they go inside.
The winter has passed and spring is coming, and the vitality of this commercial city in Bimont is definitely not under any city on the mainland.
Squeezing in the bustling crowd, Leon has an unreal feeling. If he hadn't come in person, it would have been hard to imagine such a existence on the vast Hulun grassland.
Suddenly, Leon noticed a little strangeness.
In the crowd, a thin little hand quietly reached into the animal skin pocket around his waist, moving extremely quickly.
But Leon's feeling is so keen. Although the other party's technique is extremely proficient, he still found it in advance.
It's just that Leon didn't move, but let the other party's hand lean into his pocket.
"Ah! ~”
With an uncontrollable cry of pain, the little hand shrank back at a faster speed, and there was a bloody wound on the back of his hand.
This unlucky thief chose the wrong target. Leon's animal skin pocket tied to his waist was bulging, which was not a gold and silver coin, but a second-class Warcraft silver thread golden beaver.
This pure and strange hand reached in. How can the golden civet be polite? It is necessary to give the intruder a fierce attack.
Leon turned around a little, grabbed it with a big hand like lightning, and picked up the thief who stole the chicken and the rice.
The thin figure is wrapped in a shabby sackcloth, the round head is as messy as a chicken coop, and the cheeks covered with black ash look thin because of malnutrition. Only a pair of big black eyes are a little clever and cute.
But at this moment, her eyes were full of panic, struggling in vain in Leon's hands: "Let go of me, let go of me, help!"
She is a cat thief in her teens. Her furry ears and violently contracted pupils showed her racial surname, and she also tried to fight back with her sharp nails.
It's a pity that the little claws scratched Leon's thick arm, and he couldn't even break his skin.
Her call for help did not receive any response. Although there were pedestrians next to her, they all laughed when they saw it, or shook their heads with a trace of pity and walked away.
Everyone knows what happened, and thieves are never welcome in any city.
The struggle for help was ineffective, and the kitten's face suddenly collapsed. Big tears flowed from her eyes and pleaded pitifully, "Uncle, I know I'm wrong. Please let me go. I won't dare to do it again!"
Uncle? Am I this old? Leon couldn't help touching his nose, shook his head and put the other party down.
This is not to say that the other party's superb acting skills moved him, but that there is no need to argue with a child.
Seeing her, Leon couldn't help but think of Bic, the rat boy in Tormond City. The social status of these servants in Bemon City is too low.
Reaching into his arms, Leon took out a few silver coins from the pocket lined with leather armor and put them in the other party's small hand: "Go apply some medicine to bandage the wound, and don't do such a thing again in the future."
If it were other grumpy people, it would be light for the little guy to be beaten to death after being caught.
The kitten girl couldn't help but be stunned by the silver coin with Leon's body temperature in her hand.
When she raised her head again, she only saw Leon's burly back disappearing into the crowd.
Reon did not go far. What made him feel very interesting was that when he stuffed the kitten silver coins, a trace of faith was injected into the soul core. Although it was not much, it was enough to be worth praying for more than ten days.
There is no doubt that the beast god praised his behavior.
This is an interesting place. Fighting with the enemy can be rewarded with divine power, and compassion for the weak can also be rewarded. Although the number obtained is different, it shows that as long as the normal code of conduct conforms to the faith spirit of the beast god, it will definitely be rewarded.
But Leon also knows in his heart that if he deliberately shows pity, I'm afraid he won't get any reward, and the gods are definitely not easy to fool.
So he quickly put aside some of his thoughts and turned into a pub by the street.
From Collinsworth Castle to Gley City, Leon didn't eat anything along the way, and now his stomach is full of thunderous protests.
No matter how important it is, you have to fill your stomach first. What's more, when Leon first arrived, he didn't have a real clue on how to achieve his goal.
He ordered a glass of ale, a plate of barbecue and baked bread. Leon ate dinner while thinking about how he would go to the upper door of the city of Grates and how much it would cost.
Of course, he is not unprepared when he comes out to do things this time, and there will be no pressure in terms of money.
Just spend money on things, and you have to avoid being coveted by others.
"Get out, get out! This is not the place where you should come!"
While Leon was thinking hard, there was a sudden rebuke at the door of the pub.
Leon couldn't help but turn his head and find that the kitten girl just now huddled at the door and looked inside. A pub clerk was about to drive her away.
When she found Leon, she immediately raised her arm and laughed excitedly: "Uncle..."
Now, all the eyes in the pub suddenly focused on Leon, and even the buddy who was ready to move stopped moving.
Leon couldn't help sighing and waving to the clerk and saying, "Let her in!"
The kitten proudly made a grimace from the pub clerk, rushed to Leon's wine table in three steps and two steps, and immediately put on a pitiful look.
"What are you doing with me?" Leon asked.
"I'm hungry..." The kitten girl pinched the corner of her clothes and replied in a low voice, secretly raising her eyes and aiming at the food on the table.
Didn't I give you money? Leon sighed again.
If it hadn't been for watching her gain a lot of faith and divine power, Leon wouldn't have been in the mood to pay attention to her.
"Man, give me another piece of food!"
