Chapter 44 The knight who hides the sword in his smile
Chapter 44: The Knight with a Smile Hiding a Knife
"Ha, they are bullying the country guys again!"
"It seems that this is the first time I'm here in Tormond City. If you suffer a little loss, you will understand the rules."
"Ten gold coins, haha, there are seven gray camels but there are no goods..."
Although the whispers of the onlookers were very light, Leon had a very sharp hearing. He immediately understood that the other party was cheating him and included the empty gray camel.
It's too much to deceive people! Leon's face suddenly sank.
A terrifying light shone in the tiger's eyes. He stretched out his big hand without saying a word, grabbed the armor of the tiger warrior on the chest, and picked him up.
"I'm fucking your mother! I really think I'm a country bumpkin from the countryside!" Leon's roar could be heard clearly through the three miles: "The gray camel without cargo is also considered my money. You are even more unscrupulous than those greedy human businessmen!"
The city guard soldier was actually not inferior to Leon, but he had never expected Leon to dare to take action. He was caught off guard and drooled with saliva on his face.
"You dare to attack the city guards who don't know the ranks and inferiors!" The Tiger Warrior blushed and threatened: "Let go quickly, believe it or not, I will let you go to prison!"
The conditions along the way were difficult, and Leon had never taken care of his hair and beards. With his figure and clothes, he stood with Rock Crack and others, and was naturally regarded as a member of the Bear Seed by the City Guards.
Another soldier next to him drew his weapon and stared at Leon with a fierce look, as if he was about to take action at any time.
"It's you who should be put into prison!" Leon's roar almost broke the eardrums of the city guards: "High and inferior? What's wrong with the lower tribe? Do you have to be bullied by you at will?"
"How did the great beast god teach us? All beast tribes are compatriots. No matter whether the ethnic group is united, have you turned against the faith of the beast god?"
This is called pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the banner, also called initiating public opinion. The upper and lower-level systems of the beast clan have existed for thousands of years, and no one can shake them now.
However, the existence of the level does not mean that the nobles or the beasts of the upper tribe have the courage to publicly deny the metaphor of the beast god. The priests of the temple definitely do not mind sending the blasphemers to the gallows.
The city guards were speechless because the truth was completely on Leon's side, while the other city guards couldn't help but put down their weapons - if they took action at this time, wouldn't they be guilty of betraying their faith?
More and more people were watching, and a strange atmosphere spread among the crowd.
"Yes, is it awesome to the upper tribe? Can we bully our lower tribe at will?"
"It's so bullying. Have they really forgotten the teachings of the Beast God?"
“It’s true…”
In the Kingdom of Bemon, the upper tribes include more than a dozen tribes including lions, tigers, wolves, foxes, swans, eagles, bears, leopards, cows, snakes, and dozens of subordinate tribes.
The six upper tribes firmly grasp the Kingdom of Bemon, and all the five major provinces are under the control of the upper tribes. They also have the power to distribute national wealth and territory, which has never changed for hundreds of years.
But without change does not mean that no one is dissatisfied. The voices of subordinate tribes and even subordinate tribes in the kingdom have always existed.
These things were only known to Leon later, but his words just touched a sensitive nerve.
Seeing that Leon had completely gained the upper hand in public opinion, the city guard didn't bother to struggle and asked, "What do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything!" Leon threw him down and spitted on the ground: "We bear men spit on one bite at a time! We are honest and never cheated. According to the rules, we should pay a lot of money for a copper coin!"
"But if you want to cheat us, it's a dream!"
"good!"
"One mouthful of saliva, it's well said!"
A burst of cheer suddenly broke out in the crowd. The beast tribe was fierce and admired the brave warriors and warriors the most.
The three tribal warriors including Yan Chuan all heard their blood, and they understood that Leon was venting his anger for him.
Seeing the arrogant city guards who were now arrogant, they felt so timid!
"What are you doing here?"
The crowd suddenly felt a commotion, and two fierce soldiers separated the crowd and led a tiger knight and a group of entourage soldiers over.
This tiger knight looks only in his twenties, with a broad-eyed and arrogant look.
A slim iron armor sets off her strong body, with a long sword slung around her waist, holding a shiny black whip in her hand, making her a noble superior with a very stylish appearance.
Seeing the appearance of this knight and a large number of warriors, the noise from watching the beast tribe immediately became much lower, and many people retreated to leave enough space.
"What happened? Huh?"
The knight's cold eyes swept over the two city guards who were a little anxious, and finally landed on Leon's face standing proudly in front of the team, as if he knew that Leon was the maker of the incident.
"It's neither big nor small..." Leon said in a humble manner, "When we go to the city, they want to collect my ten gold coins for the entry tax."
"Ten gold coins...hum!" The Knight looked at the ten gray camels in the Leon team, and his eyes turned back to a city guard: "Is what he said true?"
The city guard lowered his head, his lips moved a few times, and finally nodded - many people could not tell lies when they heard and saw them.
"According to the law of our city of Tormond, the caravans entering the inner city will be charged a gold coin for each cargo a tax of entry..." The knight said lightly: "They have a total of ten gray camels, and only three cargoes. Why do they charge ten gold coins?"
The head of the city guards was drooping lower and their bodies were trembling slightly and they didn't dare to answer at all.
"Since you have made a mistake, then all the laws will be punished!" The Knight did not wait for them to answer, and waved the whip in his hand and ordered: "Take them down, and each person will receive thirty whips, and deduct the salary this month!"
Four soldiers, like wolves and tigers, rushed up and took the two city guards aside to start the execution.
A scream suddenly rang!
After thirty whips, the two strong city guards were only half breathing and were quickly dragged away.
The onlookers were silent, and their faces were full of awe.
After punishing the two soldiers, the Knight turned around and bowed slightly to Leon and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm Pastin, the commander of the Silver Star of the Tormond City Garrison. All the things just happened were my subordinates' faults. They have received the punishment they deserve."
"As a supplement, I allow you not to pay the city tax. The city of Tormond welcomes all the orcs and friends from other races, and the garrison is willing to provide protection for all those who abide by the law."
"I hope this will satisfy you, friends from afar!"
The Knight's words were absolutely beautiful, and his actions were impeccable. The honest Yan Chuan and others felt a little embarrassed.
But Leon was not confused by the other party's performance. When he started from scratch, he had seen many guys with a smile on his face and a sword. He had a thorough understanding of the sinister and evil nature of human nature.
This noble officer had excellent skills on the surface, but Leon could see a deep hidden shame and malice in his eyes.
As he himself said, everything must be done according to the law, and if Leon's crime fell into his hands, he would be very happy to enforce the law strictly.
And such enemies are the most difficult to deal with. They will be like venomous snakes lurking in the dark. When they see opportunities, they will pounce on them and spew out deadly venom.
"Thank you, Lord Pastin, I admire your justice!" Leon saluted him with a calm expression: "But I appreciate your kindness, I don't want to destroy the law of Tormond."
How could Leon save only three gold coins? This is equivalent to taking back all his previous words and slapping himself!
Looking at the three gold coins handed over, Pastin was slightly stunned, then smiled and took it with a deep smile: "That's right, so I wish you a happy life in Tormond City."
The Tiger Knight looked at Leon deeply and turned around and left with his men.
Two other soldiers took over the original guard position of the city gate.
Leon watched the other party leave, and he vaguely felt that this matter would not end so simply, and he must be vigilant in the future and be careful of the other party's revenge.
Although he might have a strong enemy, Leon does not regret it at all.
A real man acts well, does not do anything and does what he wants. If he is timid in the face of things, he might as well go home and farm!
Silver Star Commander Pastin, this name Leon was remembered in his heart.
A storm that happened at the west gate of Tormond City quickly subsided. The crowd dispersed. Leon and others led wildebeests and camels into the inner city.
Before leaving, Leon had thought that after completing the Beast Soul Warrior in Tormond this time, he could not return empty-handedly. He brought some local specialties back to sell and make a profit. He would kill two birds with him with one stone.
For this, he prepared a considerable amount of capital.
"Boss, do you need a guide?"
When Leon and others had just entered the city and didn't know where to go, a twelve or thirteen-year-old black and thin boy came over and was not afraid of selling himself to Leon.
"My name is Bick, and I am the best guide in Tormond City. I know where to find the most comfortable and affordable hotels, where to buy the best and cheapest goods, and which bar girls are the most beautiful and charming!"
He said five words "best" in one breath, his mouth was absolutely neat, and he looked at Leon with big black eyes looking forward, as if he was afraid that Leon would disappear if he turned around.
Chapter completed!
